Archie is no novice when it comes
to running o country weekly"
Long life to the Progress and its
editor. Biloxi Banner.
Poor taste and hypocrisy COM
binedl 1t is the editorial policy
of this paper to avoid noticing
slurs, cuts and the yelping of lit
tie "catch behinds" astray on the
road side, but sage noted for his
wisdom once well and truly said
that you could not treat a fool
with silent contempt, for If con-
ceit and ignorance ever fourished
it was only when in company with
itself. 1t never dies of ennui.
This paper never would have TAX
en- to task the Banner slur lines
which are smaller than the cram
ium wherefrom emanating and
poorer than the principles with
which they were written. The
writer Of those lines is acquainted
with the meaning of true journal
ism as a mule is of astronomy.
The average reader will at once
wish to ask why does The Echo
speak of the paragraph if not
guilty and since its name does APP
pear therein. That might sound
very true, but we know the Ban
ner scribler 1--WE should have said

ceived and know that he says one
thing for another invariably. Had
he been candid we might have
given credit for his honesty, but
no; he used at liberty the harm
less and tame Progress as an in
strument to vent an uncalled for
personal spleen against this pa
per all because he is envious of
its success. There is a vast diff.
ference between a hack man and
a journalist, we make this COM

we do for one fact, which that he
Ga newspaper MANI does not know
an advertisement from growing.
First, what The Echo said about
itself last week is an undeniable
truth, and secondly, we have q
right to advertise our own busi-
ness as we'll as any other that il
legitimate. There is o vast diff
erence between growing and ad.
vertising. To find out the differ.
ence, a good way is to review the
files of the defunct Handsboro
Mentor and the Banner and you
will find from these what Growing
really is. "Birds of a feather
flock together" but when ths
Biloxi rooster bird wishes to affil
late with the Progress by means
of fiattery, there will be one birt
very lonely. Oil and water nev
er mix. However, we entertain
no personal hard feelings for th'
Banner, but trust it will recove
from its spell of personal spite
lprejudice and jealousy.

AN iMPOsSIBILiTY.

A proposition to double the
wheat crop by measuring it in
"bushels" one-half of the present
size would be laughed at by every
intelligent farmer. No one would
be deceived into thinking that the
quantity of wheat grown would be
any larger though it was called
twice as many bushels. But when
it comes to measuring values, in
stead of quantities, a great many
people are victims of the curious
delusion that by adopting a stand
ard of value worth only half of
that now used, this country would
at once double the value of all
the products of labor. They are
entirely mistaken. Changing the
measure would not in the slight
est degree increase the real value
in use or exchange of the goods
measured, and the pretense o1
the silyerites that free coinage
would double the value of all pro
perty is merely a fraud by which
they hope to fool the people intt
voting for fifty-cents dollars.

with him. He was a farmer In a small
way, and he was never known to be out of
debt. He was renter, and Al least every
other season he was occupying a different
farm. BY my advice, he had moved the
year before into an entirely new field, at
least dozen miles from his usual haunts,
When l did see him at last IL was by ac-
cident, as business called me into his
neighborhood. As / rode past his place he
hailed me from the corn field and came out
to the fence.
"HelloH' 1 exclaimed, lis this your

Women are steadily pressing into the
lines of endeavor that were only a
short while ago held as peculiarly and
unquestionably belonging to men. Miss
Helen Gould has passed a creditable ex-
animation in law and is in a position to
become a member of the New York bar.
If she desired to do so. with the prospect
of securing a lucrative practice. The
prestige OF her wealth and connections
would Bring her clients. But she will
not practice. 1t is not necessary for her
to do so, and being a woman of a great
deal of common sense, she is not given
to doing unnecessary things.
In the city of Pittsburg on one Sunday
during the latter part of April, when the
Young Woman's Christian Association
meets there, the pulpits of twenty-five
churches will be filled with women
preachers. Women preachers have been
heard in this country at least from the
early days of Methodlsm; still the num-
Der of them has been limited; and the
sight of a woman in a pulpit is. even
now regarded as a novelty. That nearly
all the pulpits in a great city are to be
simultaneously filled by women preach
ers is matter of note. showing that the
sex is making progress in theology.
AS to the woman in politics. her name
is legion, notwithstanding her entrance
into the political arena is but recent
matter. And so it is with the woman
in medicine and the law.
But there is one eminence to which
the sex has not yet attained, upon the
authority of one qualified to judge. There
is no queen of after dinner takers; for
DR.. Chauncey Depew himself hath said
it. and surely the king of bon vivants
ought to know. There are scores and
hundreds of women who make little set
speeches after dinners, but among them
all there is not one who can measure
up to the requirements of an ideal after
dinner talker. The art seems to evade
them. They too frequently reach for
starN1ust, or attempt to throw the aurora
borealis across the dining table, with the
result that the listeners laugh at the
wrong time or from the wrong cause
The woman's hands are in the way
while making an after-dinner speech. The
man can, in a moment of embarrass-
ment or in the ardor of his good fellow
ship, sticks his thumbs into the arnholes
of his vest, or shove his hands INTO his
side pockets, or flip his eoat-tails with
