ANOTHER PLEA OF GUILTY.

Our readers are aware of the
fact that Capt. Burkitt has for the
past month in his canvass been as
serting that the Democratic admin
istration of Mississippi had been
more extravagant than that of the
Republican carpetbag administra-
tons, but so overwhelmingly have
the official figures shown that all
of his statements to that effect
were absolutely false that in a Joint
discussion with Mr.. McLaurin at
Newton last week after the official
record had been read by McLau-
rim, Burkitt admitted that he had
made mistake in his campaign
speeches about the expenditures of
the State being greater under DEM
ocratic than Republican rule. Now
this is the second time during the
canvass that Capt. Burkitt has
made charges against the Demo
cratic party that have been official
ly proven to be false, and which
he has admitted to be false. The
first one being as to the amount of
silver that was coined last year
Now can the people of Mississ-
ippi trust a man with the highest
office in their gift, who will make
such false charges, and only admit
them to be false when the official
record is shown him, we say not,
and it makes no difference wheth-
er those charges were made will
fully or through ignorance. His
utter unworthiness for the exalted
trust he seeks to hold is plainly
shown by his guilty confessions.
And about the only decent thing
now left for the Captain to do, is
to ask the peoples pardon, with
draw from the canvass, and there
by avoid a crushing and humlli-
tating defeat on the 5th day Of No
vember next.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?'

The wonderfully wise Populites
who are always doubling the sin
cerity of the Democrats have no
arguments that are in the least
logical; no platform but what they
are ashamed Of, or that is endorsed
by the Democrats, and have be-
come walking Interrogation points.
Every time you see one he wants
to know "what are you going to
do if the national convention don't
endorse silver at 10 to L." then
Strengthens up and looks wise, as
if he expects the immortal pyrimid
OF democracy to crumblc and fall.
Gosh. what a sumner
The world is not conquered in a
day. 1t may be possible that the
next national convention will not
declare unequivocally for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of I6 to I, but the chances
are favorable and the prospects
are brighter than it ever has been
since its demonstration. If we
do not get it we are at least strong
enough to get favorable compro-
misc. We fought for the tariff
bill for many years and at last sue
cceded in getting one that is now
saving the people, and especially
the agriculturalists, millions OF
dollars every year. If we do not
get silver this time We will keep
up the fight; but in the words Of
the immortal Georgian, "We
would rather have Union without
Texas than Texas without Union. >

The Texas Legislature in extra
session last week almost unani-
mously sustained Gov. Culberson's
war against prize fighting by
promptly passing law making
any kind of prize fighting in that
State felony, and punishable by
imprisonment in the penitentiary
not less than two nor more than
five years. Thus, the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight will have to take
place somewhere else. All honor
to Gov. Culberson and the Texas
Legislature.

QUESTION.

Our Populite friend, DR.. r. J.
Head, who is the Populite nomi-
nee for County Surveyor, publish
es a card in last weeks indicator
to the people of Attala county, in
which he says "my professional
duties, together with other mat
tiers, prevent me from making
canvass of the county" Now the
question is, if the doctors profess
sional duties, together with other
matters, prevent him from making
the convass, would not those same
Obstacles prevent him from dis
charging the duties of the Office, if
there was any probability of his
being elected?
But seriously we think the doc
tor is acting wisely IN staying al
home and attending to his bust
ness and taking good care of his
patients and other matters, instead
of running all over the county and
wasting time and money after an
office that John Hall Kimbroush
is going to get; and we feel certain
in predicting that all the other
candidates on the Populite ticket
will after the 5th day of November,
wish they had acted as wisely as
DR.. Head.

should get the best possible price
for their cotton, we will give every
week in cur paper the most reliable
news we can get bearing on the
size of the present crop and the

Please allow me space in

(even now too long neglected) that

have lived and from whom | have
received SO many evidences of
friendly regard. When | severed
my connection with The STAR two
months ago, my arrangements were
so hurriedly made that had not
time to write the letter of farewell
that | wished and that my heart
was too full to be content with a
hasty line or two. Since then |
have been almost constantly con
the wing" SO that this is my first
opportunity to address an open
letter to my friends and acquain-
tances in my town, county, and
State.
But, after all, there is not much
to say. Goodbye is a small word,
easily spoken when its import is
not felt; but often we are longest
in saying it. Even at this dis
lance find it hard to write it.
want to say to all my friends in
Attala county-those who lent me
d helping hand when, mere boy,
stepped into my fathers shoes in
the management of THE STAR
those who stood by me in late
years-those who have shown by
word and deed that they felt an in.
t,rest in me and nine, and Iproud-
y know that they are not few.
want to say to them that | truly
regret parting with them and al
those tendar associations that clus.

nothing could shave induced the
separation save that duty every
man owes himself and those de
pendent upon him to make tn,

The Democrats only have to use
the Pops own ammunition now to
knock them out, and should any
doubt the assertion we refer them
to the following pitiful wall for
funds from their chairman, DR.. r.
X. Prewitt. Read it and you will
readily see where the thing is 60
ing:
"Appeal after appeal has been
made with but little results. A
small amount of money has been
sent in, but for the most part |
have borne the expense from my
own means. This | am unable to
continue and something must be
done or these headquarters will
have to be closed. Let the chair
man Of each county call his com
mittec together and look after this
matter. We have gone into this
to win and we must not fail for
lack of a little effort on your part.
Every day calls for speakers are
received, but it is impossible to
comply with such requests without
funds here to pay expenses of
speakers, etc. Well organized
counties should not expect help
unless they have tried to help the
state committee and thus help
themselves. Something must be
done. We can't win this fight by
setting still. Let's 60 to work and
see what we can accomplish.
Yours truly,
r. X. PREwITT,
Chairman State P. P. Com.
We clip the above weeping wall
from the Chairman of the State
Populite party from the Winston
County Journal. 1t shows tina,
the party's financial purse is like
its principles, perfectly empty,
and that the chairman's private
money box is very nearly in
the same condition, and doubtless
by this time can be read across the
closed door of the P. p. Head
quarters closed for lack Of supper
