sure that you will not regret it?
We have a suggestion to make
to those to whom this article is adj
dressed. Hold yourself aloof
from the Populite Beat meetings
and county conventions, and thus
you will not be responsible in any
way for much rottenness that may
be forced upon the party. Do not
bind yourselves in any way. Wait
until both parties make their nom
nations and then see what set OF
candidates represent'the honesty,
the intelligence, the patriotism and
the courage of this county. Then, ii
YOU can't be a full democrat, be

pendent voter. You can thus vote
for the best men for all Offices
without violating any pledge.

RISING PRICES.

1t may be said generally that an
optimistic spirit pervades all our
people this meek, due in a large
measure to the rising prices of all
commodities. Almost without eX-
ception farm products are going
up. Cotton has taken big jump,
as will be seen by our market re-
port, while pork has gone up "a
bout two cents over the lowest
price reached this season. Wheat
and -four are on the rise. Nor is
this advance confined to farm prod
ucts. Cotton goods, sugar, coal
oil, and other articles of common
consumption are bringing higher
prices.
Ordinarily rising prices are signs
of increased prosperity, and we be-
lieve it to be so in this case. The
markets become hrmer, the specu-
lative spirit is fostered, and a gen
eral increase of business results.
Failing prices along continued
ruin trade; but rising prices are
the backbone of prosperity when
they are produced by legitimate
causes.
The condition of the market has
produced a much better feeling
among merchants and farmers
alike.

FRAUDULENT VOTING.

We desire to call the attention
of the people to section 1914 of
the Mississippi Code, which reads
as follows:
"If any voter, having partici-
pated in one party primary, shall
vote or attempt to vote in differ
ent party primary election held for
a similar purpose, during the same
political campaign, he shall be
guilty of fraudulent voting, and, on
conviction, shall be punished in
the same manner and to the same
extent as if he had voted illegally
in general election. l."
The penalty for the above NAV
be a 5000 fine and Imprisonment
in the county Jail for six months.
Primary meetings and conventions
come within the law as we'll as pri-
mary elections.
We are informed that some po-
litical straddlers and few we'll
meaning men intend to participate
in both Democratic and Populite
primaries, and we cite the above
law for their benefit.

The Clarion-Ledger quotes sew
en- personal opinions of men of
note to condemn the Presidents
Chicago letter. Only two Of these
are Democrats-the anarchist gov
ernor of Illinois and h P Bland,
who says he wont support the NOM
inee of the next national conven-
ton unless the platform adopts
Blandism as its shibboleth. All
seven OF the men quoted are the
old hacks who can confidently be
relied upon to oppose everything
Mr.. Cleveland does or SAYS and
most of them oppose everything
the Democratic party does, Jeems
B. Weaver being one or them.
These are not the kind of critics
whose opinions have weight. We
will wait and see what the great
mass of the American people say
about the letter.

THE SPEECHES.

The speeches of Gov. Lowry
and Col. Money in Kosciusko last
Saturday were patriotic, able, and
we'll worth listening to. We agreed
perfectly with all they said until
they suggested remedy for the
existing evils of notary leglsla-
ton. There we parted. All bl-
metalists will accept their diagno-
sis of the case, showing the evils
that spring from the single gold
standard, though perhaps we do
not carry the calamity cry so tar.
When, however, they advocated
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver by this government alone at
the ratio of 16 to I, our judgment
did not follow them.
Although Col. Money would not
say he knew it would be SO, he
showed very plainly his opinion
that it was very possible that all
gold currency would leave this
country if we adopted free coinage.
If iris should be the case, and we
believe it would be, all business
would be placed on silver basis,
and we would have single silver
standard instead of he double
standard demanded by the Chicago
platform. If Col. Money believes
the country would go to a silver
basis in consequence of the free
coinage of silver, he is not the BIZ
metallist he processes to be, but a
silver monometallist, who is more
dangerous than gold monometal-
list. 80
But Col. Money says that if the
gold all left the country and we
went on silver basis, the United
States would e not be injured.
Right here he is just as illogical as
any other n All with hobby. Now
if, as he claims and we all admit.
the perniclous ei.ects CT the demon
citation act of 1873 sprang from
the fact that one half our standard
money was struck down, what ben
eft can we expect from a system OF
coinage that would restore the sill
yer half and destroy the gold half
OF our currency?
Again. Under the single gold
standard we today have more sill
yer currency than we ever had be-
tore; but under single silver
standard we would have no gold
at all. The first effect of free coin
age at a dishonest ratio. therefore.
would be to drive gold out of the
country, thereby reducing the
volume of our metallic money one
half; for approximately half of our
hard money is gold. This would
at once cause contraction of val
ues and panic such as the world
never saw. Every railroad or cor
poration that had foated bond
payable in gold would default in
the payment because no gold was
to be had. Every farmer who had
borrowed money from a British
mortgage company would be sold
out because gold would be de-
manded and he would have no
gold. Prices would fall way be-
low what they now are. This
would be the immediate
result of free coinage. After a
while the volume OF silver coined
would cause things to advance; but

TO REASONING POPULETES.

their recent adoption that they are
deaf to the voice of reason.
Nothing in this article is address
sed to the demagogues and
up-start politicians in that party.
We want to ask the old soldiers,
the middle age men of mature
judgment, and the young men who
desire to be right, what they ex-
pect to gain by remaining longer
with the Populite party.
Do you expect the new party
ever to get into power and enforce
the reforms you demand? You
have now had sufficient time to see
that this hope is vain. The Pop
ulist party will never control the
national government, and it is very
doubtful that they will ever again
carry another State. Its leader,
Gen. Weaver, realizes that it has
passed the summit of its greatness,
and is now advising his followers
to abandon the Omaha platform
and go over bodily into the camp
of the new silver party. Thus you
will be dragged about from party
to party and from ism to ism, un-
til your self-respect as a citizen
and a voter will be entirely de-
stroyed.
Do you expect, thro' the efforts
of the Populite party, to force
upon the old parties the consider
alton of the measures you demand?
AS you yourself have abandoned
all demands except the income
tax and the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, it is unnecessary
to consider the rest. In regard to
the first, a democratic congress
has already placed an income tax
law on the statute books; so that
you can have no complaint on
this score. Your own party could
not elect more earnest and persist
ent advocates of free coinage than
the two senator's and six out of the
seven congressman from this State.
If the free silver democrats with
their great numerical strength
should fail in their efforts, how can
you, with less voting force, hope to
succeed? Would it not be wiser
for you to cooperate with the free
silver democrats and see what your
combined strength can accom-
plish?
The time for the Populite prima-
ry conventions will soon be upon
you. Old men, young men, do
you know what you will
do if you take part in
these conventions? You will bind
yourself to support for responsible
Offices men whom ten years ago
you would have seen in the bot
tomless pit before you would have
voted for them. You will bind
yourself to vote for men who form
ed the secret band of Gideon to
control your suflrages and drive
you like sheep to the polls to vote
their will. You Will bind yourself
to vote for men who, trampling
upon your own and your fathers
traditions of State rights, dared to
show themselves at the polls as
federal supervisors of a white
mans election. You will bind
yourself to vote for leaders who
deny you the common right of
primary election. They won't let
you vote your choice for candi-
dates because that would interfere
with their own dark and hidden
schemes.

given, and the growth and development
of liberal learning was brought down to
the present day, with its splendid school
systems controlled by the state, with
compulsory educational laws, and the
latest and most magnificent step, the
opening ut the great universities upon
CO educational basis, Mr.. Back told
OF his visit to the reform school at Whit
tier, OF the provisions made for the en-
lgEtenment OF the unfortunates there,
and the good results that were being OBJ
tanned. Brief reference was made to the
institutions for the teaching of the dear
and dumb ana simple minded. turning
to the subject of normal school education
the superintendent dwelt at length upon
the growing demand for professional
teachers, such as those produced In such
Institutions.
The last Legislature OF New YORK. -
continued the speaker, passed law re-
quiring that all teachers In village and
city schools employing city superin-
tendent shall have mad three years sue.
cessful experience in teaching, or, in lieu
thereof, shall have bad a tnree years
course in high school aud in addition
thereto one years professional training.
This law is good one. The only critl-
cism | would pass upJn 1t is that it
should apply to rural schools as well: for
where there is no city superintendent
there is all the more need for more eff
cient teachers
Brief addresses were made by City Su-
perintendent of Schools Foshay, General
John Mansfield and Edward It. PIERCE
principal of the school. All were heartily
received by tho students, who were thus
favorably started on their years work.
