NO DEFECT IN THE SYSTEM
An Accident Causes the stoppages of
Ninth Street Electric Cars
Due to q Peculiar Occurrence Mt the
New York Avenue Crossing Of
the COlumb ia ROad.

The electric cars on the 9th street branch
OF the Metropolitan railroad were STONED
Ior several hours this morning. and the
rad weather prevailing, and the fact that
IL was saturday, caused large number of
persons to be seriously Inconvenience
foliowing the cessation of traffic on the
same line for a long time Thursday nigh.
wien the weather was similar to that of
today this mornings stop gave a great
ma ny people the impression that there was
some defect in the system which continued
bad weather was needed to discover. In
quiry at the offices of the company, how
EYER, uisclosed the fact that the stopping
OF the cars this morning, as well as on
Thursday night was due to peculiar ac-
cident al the junction of the 9th stree, and

company explained the matter

STOCK BREEDERS ASSOCIATION

Many of the leading stockmen
OF the State met at Jackson on the
4th inst with the view of organic.
ing stock breeders association.
A State organization of this ma
ture will pave the way for rapid
progress along livestock lines.
Whatever may be said eff our nat.
ural advantages, it was painfully
evident that, despite good pastures
mild winters, abundant grasses,
and pure water, the livestock in
terests of Mississippi are inhnit ely
small compared with the great
achievements which nature has
made possible for rs in this direc-
ton.
DR.. TAFT Butler Ct the Mississ-
lppi Agricultural and Mechanical
College IS perhaps due the credit
OF this industrial movement. DR..
Butler is the college Veterinarian
and man Of public spirit and
wide experience in matters con-
corning practical and theoretical
stock breeding. BY correspond
ence with this gentlemen, at Stark

Of the purpose and benefits of the
breeders association so lately or,
ganized. With the good results
of an interchange of knowledge
and experimental results, why
should not the stockraisers replace
their scrub cattle with grades and

climate and eradicate the razor

The world has turned with ca
ger eyes to watch the proceedings
Of the new English Cabinet. The
Marquis of Salisbury, is said to
be. bimetallic in his sympathies.
Balfour, at the head of the British
Treasury, is bimetallist while
several others of the Cabinet are
strong advocates Of international

a chance for a change in the fnan-
cial policy Of England. Should,
however, the reelection of a Par

The fact that man has voted
the Populist ticket should not be
hurled in his teeth as a criminal
offense. We ali have our opinions
and it is a fundamental right OF a
citizen to act as he thinks best tor
the public good. The third party
in its formation carried many a
tried Democrat from our ranks.
We are sorry for this for we be-
lieve that, despite some errors,
our party enunciates the greatest
principles of human rights and
honest government. 1t is not,
however, our privilege, nor yet
our pleasure to denounce men who
in the fervor of conviction have
left us. We would say to these
men, if they have failed in their
search for an eldorada, if they have
learned that it is the human lot to
suffer, that it is beyond the power
of human agency to bring back to
Eden those whom human weak
ness and error drove from the ter
restrial paradise in the infancy of
the race, then we entreat them
to join us ag ain and by constant
devoted and concentrated effort seek
to tighten the burdens which NOR
tails are given to bear

A Yazoo paper comments with

position taken by ex-Attorney-
General I. Marshall Miller. 1t is a
prerogative granted by the freedom
of the press to heap calumny on
the heads Of men bearing the high.
est records for moral courage and
political purity; but it is also the
prerogative of all men, great and
small, to study the issues that asi-
tate the day; and when so great a
man as Marshall Miller has learned
enough to warrant a change in his
financial views we are not surprised
that he states his position to the
world even at the risk of shaking
the faith of Yazoo editor.

The financial question is not a
thing to get mad over. We are all
in the same boat and most OF us
think we are right. The thing to
do is to keep cool and study the
matter A man has no right to
crystalline any sentiment on this
subject until he feels that he I'M
derstands it, or at least until he
understands some vital feature that
renders one or the other side inn
practicable and inconsistent with
the rights of men. Among all the
bitter things that have been said by
10 10 I advocates about gold stand
ard men, no one has accused even
the most gra.ping "Shylock" of

it is the hue and cry OF the West
ern miner to be allowed to enter
the minis of America with fifty
cents in bullion and to 60 home
with dollar. In other words, he
demands as a right that the United

NOTABLE EXAMPLES.

General Stephven D. Lee IS per-
haps more beloved by the South
ern people than any living man.
His record as a soldier, his bear
ing as a citizen, his undying love
for the lost Confederacy blooming
side by side with a proud allegi-
ance to the stars and stripes, has
bound him in Southern affection
and gained for him national admi-
ration. His executive ability, his
strong personality, his unyielding
will, his high moral integrity, have
made him one of the most success
full educators Of his time.
To one so beloved, so able, SO
true has come call after call to en-
ter the gubernatorial race. He
has refused. Why? Because he
believes that l6 to I as coinage
ratio would be ruinous to Amerl-
can finance.
Here is an example worthy OF
notice: An ambitious man, for all
great men are ambitious, in the
easy reach of the highest prize his
State can offer, refusing to take 1t
because he scorns to give his en-
dorsement to a sham dollar. An
opinion so dearly sustained is
worth considering.
General Catchlngs has proudly
forfeited chance for the United
States Senate to maintain his high
ground.
Gov. Stone bearded the lion in
his very den when he told the State
Legislature to confer the Senatorial
honors on another head while he
held his place in favor of dollar
worth dollar.
With such examples before them
the people are compelled to think
and compelled to feel that when
such men as these, strong and delib-
crate, have settled in their minds
that an issue is wrong, and this,
too, in the face Of the widest pop
ular excitement and at the expense
Of the brightest political aspira-
tionsthe people, we say, are COM
PEELED to feel that these men could
not have assumed such unpopular
grounds except by the highest
prompting and the most sober
thought.

THE POpULITE SOMERSAULT.

IdE FUE UuI1E DOMGhDAUL1.
When the Populite Executive
Committee met and ordered pri-
mary election to supersede the &C
ton of the convention that had al
ready been held, they acted, we be-
lieve, without precedent in the an
nails of Attala county. The party
had met in mass in the various
Beats and nominated Beat candi-
dates and appointed delegates to
nominate a full county ticket,
which was done. Yet the eXecu-
tive committee, the servants of the
party, OVERRIDE the action of their
masters, the people, thereby put
ting themselves above the authori
ty that gave them power. We be
lieve that it would have been
right and proper for the county
convention, representing the peo-
pie, to have wiped out all the pro-
ceedings and ordered a primary
election; but we do not believe
that the present usurpatlon OF
power on the part of the con-
vention would hold good if
tested under the primary election
law.
Another thing in this connection
that may be stated as a verify is
that those men who were nominal
ed in the county convention didn't
lay down their nominations for
nothing. They have well calcu-
lated the matter, they are standing
together, and they have nicely
laid their plans so that, unless the
party rises in might and mashes
the machine, every last one OF
them that runs again will be nomi-
mated. Such species of bossism
never was known in Mississippi.
THE STAR is lover Of fair play,
whether it be among friends or
foes. We have no interest in the
contest among the Populites ex-
cept that we dislike to see the un-
suspecting masses of the party
played upon and imposed upon by
bosses. We now have piece of
friendly advice to give the honest
and fair-minded Populites who de-
spise rins-rule. The advice may
not be needed; but We give it any
way.
Our advice is this: Certain ring
leaders who have foisted them
selves upon the party ought to be
publicly condemned. There are
two ways in which to do this.
One is for the better element of
the party to stay at home and let
the machine continue its headlong
career to an open grave; or by 60
ing to the polls in full strength,
and voting solidly, smash the ma
chine into smithereens.
