THE OLD AID NEW YEAR.

Time In its perpetual march has
thrown aside her heavy portals and
another year has passed away. All
else IN nature, at some period or 9TH
er, stops; but time goes on forever
and to its supreme power we are all
subservient. II makes no distinc-
tion between ule hot-house flower
with its scientific nursing, and the
stray woodland one with naught but
the blue Of heaven TO protect it.
Time meets all on one common level
and treats all with equal courtesy.
The old year was an unevcntful one,
It was void Of any great calamity,
void Of any grand esent, In fact void
Of any occurrences likely to perpetu-
ate its memory to generations to
come. 1t is true that some men Of
world renowned fame passed; away /;
but that is not limited to any year or
years and therefore no especial re-
memberance can be attached to poor
dead '94 for those occasions. Pollti-
cally it was an of year, nothing Of
any Importance was accomplished
Legislation being Of o character suf-
ficiently demoralizing to create ma
tional disquietude. Financially 1t
was an unusually bad one, some por-
tions of the Union having been visited
with an incredulous poverty, while
the whole world, we might say, suf-
fered the pangs Of waat. Morally it
compares with other years for des-
pite the promptness with which law
deals punishment to the criminal
crime continues to flourish.
We know now what the past year
contained for us; but we cannot,
even in imagination, travel into the
misty regions Of the new one and see
the portions allotted us. The new
year Is a very uncertain one. No
one can surmise from present indica-
tions what it will bring forth. II
may be that the distrust now sweep
ing throughout the Union will be re-
moved and solid commercial rela-
tons assured and re-established and
peace and prosperity once more
smile aud reign In our grand coun-
try.

VOLUME ".

With this issue of The Echo ends
the third year OF lis existence, and,
re-invig' rated by the prosperity OF
the past, IL enters upon its fourth
year. The past year, while il has
been characterized by various ups
and down with the average lnstiiu-
tions Of business, this one has been
favored and especially during the
last quartar Of the year. In other
words, business was at no time better
and prospects are good. The paper,
as the intelligent public has observed
all the while, is steadily forging right
ahead and is Thoroughly in touch with
the people, and the people are evinc-'
ing their appreciation for pure local,
honest and fearless newspaper OF It's
kind. A commendato y fact to which
we point with pride IS that more peo-
pie in Bay ST. Louis read The
Echo than any other paper publish
ed. We acknowledge past patronage
and solicit continuance of the
same.

CONGRESS-.

What is Congress doing for us?
1t IS question which requires the
concentration Of the entire brains of
America into one focus TO perceive
Congress is doing nothing, absolute
ly nothing and we're our learned re-
preventative to take leave Of absence
for and indefinite period they would
not be missed. Democrats through
out the country otter the late elec-
tions in which the party was so over.
whelmingly defeated, were under the
impression that the Democratic Con-
gress would, before the expiration OF
its power, redeem itself and party
by the enactment Of proper legisla-
tion which would have relieved the
country from its present depressed
condition. Congress has not only
failed to take steps for immediate
relief but has neglected to provide
for the future having done nothing
which will tend to insure prosperity
and re-establish public confidence.
1t has crushed several important
measures which would undoubtedly
have benefited the country and
placed America on a higher footing
than 1t has ever known.
Indeed the halls of Congress must
feel desolate, stripped Of what it was
accustomed to in the olden days when
men strove for the gloriflcation and
advancement of their country, and
not for their individual end. 1t
seems as il perpetual wrangle has
gotten to be the natural order of
things. Reformation and thorough
revolution in Congress is needed and
needed badly. 1t is needed by the
citizens as individuals, it Is needed
by the country as nation.

THE COLLEGE.

II is now an assrred fact that the
college will fight the legality of be.
ing taxed, and how 1t is gong TO dis
prove the claim that II is not carried
on for profit is more than we can
conceive. The Echo bears no Ill
feeling toward the college or the Fac
ulty, on the contrary 1t recognizes
the merits of the institution and APP
preciates | 8 master efforts toward the
enlightenment Of the youth Of the pre-
sent generation nevertheless, as we
have previously said, we are OF the
opinion that the taxation Of IL Is Just
from commercial point of view. or
course there Is no gainsaying the
fact that it Is u brilliant educator,
that its handsome buildings adds to
the beauty Of our city and 20 an ex-
tent tends to make it popular, but
these do not form a reasonable basis
for exemption. FACTORIES develop
city, hotels make it popular, its
newspapers are common educators,
are you going to exempt them all7
While the citizens Of this commu-
nifty, regardless Of their religious be-
liefs, are unanimous in their approx
al Of the course pursued by the city,
they do not wish to say so publicly.
But their approval or condemnation
is Of no special importance. 1t is
case which will be judged On its
merits and according to law. Tit
be proved beyond doubt that the in
stitution is profitable one taxation
will necessarily follow, IL proved to
the contrary then IL will be allowed
to continue its business without fur
ther molestation. However, mnch
we disagree with the college, and
the steps they have taken in the mat
ter, we hope they are sincere in their
conviction and not opposing the
measure because the law offers an
apparent escape.

GULF AND SHIP ISLAND LANDS.

A very important decision has just
been rendered by Secretary Hoke
Smith. Of the Department of the In
terror, concerning the forfeiture land
case Of the Gulf and Ship Island rail-
road. The decision involves the
ownership Of large tracts Of land in
this State and contiguous to the Gulf
coast which the United States gov
eminent sought to reclaim from the
railroad company. Secretary Noble,
when in office previous to Secretary
Smith, held that the lands had been
forfeited by reason Of the alleged
failure of the company to comply
with the conditions under which the
grant was made. Secretary Smiths
reversion Of Secretary Mobiles de-
cision will be good news to the many
settlers along the line who have pur-
chased homes from the railroad COM
pany, and who were living in doubt
and uncertainty.

Mississippi In its wonderful de-

nothing more than the confirmation
Of the report that coal has been dis

find is located In Holmes county and
extends to that Of Tippah covering
many miles Of ground. What has
been found so far Is of reddish
brown color, light In weight but
hard and burns well. Although
many borings have been made the
bed has not yet been pierced and it's
depth is therefore unknown. In diff
ferent places 1t was bored several
feet and 1t is found to be harder and
placker as the boring increases.

Passing Away,

An eastern editor in a pensiye
mood felt the following flowing
through his thought seive and caught
1t for his readers: "Take a walk
with US through any Of the cemeter-
les of the country and you will be-
iieve that the fools are passing away.
You pass the last resting place of
the man who blew into an empty
gun and the tombstone of the wo-
man who lighted the fire with kero-
sene. A grass covered carpet mound
covers the remains Of the man who
took the mule by the tail. The mon
ument Of the man who didn't know
it was loaded overshadows his who
jumped from the train to save a ten
rods walk. Side by elde lie the as
thetic creature who kept her corset
laced to the last fastening, and the
intelligent idiot who rode bycicle
nine miles In ten minutes. Here re-
poses the doctor who took a dose Of
his own medicine and the old fool
who married a young wife. Right
over yonder in the northwest corner
the breezes sigh through the weeping
willows that bend over the fellow
who called his wife a liar. Down
there in the potter's field, with his
feet sticking out to the cold blasts Of
winter and the blistering summers
sun, are stretched the rem aims of the
misguided regulator who tried to lick
the editor, while the broken bones Of
the man who refused to pay for his
paper are piled In the corner of the
fence. Over by the gate softly rests
the boy who went swimming on Sun
day, and the woman who kept baking
powder side by side with strichnine
IN the cupboard. The foolkiller
gathers them one by one and we
would have pretty decent world to
live In were it not that the race con-
tinues to reproduce the same kind of
idiots"
