George y. Fielder and the Governor
ship.


Ex-Congressman George B. Fielder has
once more been interviewed in Washing
ton. We wonder why he is always IN
terviewed there and never at home. II
ia a case of perspective, we presume.
1t is a pity. too. that our enterprising
young reporters do not sit at his 1eet
oftener, for he is always entertaining.
On the present occasion, he is particu-
larry so. His subject is Democratic
gubernatorial timber. Here is one OF
his bons mots:-
NV name has been mentioned. but I am
not a candidate.
Gentleman Georges modesty is the one
painful thing about him. 1t is distressing
that any bright, promising young man
should hide his light under a bushel the
way he does.
But George lavishes a good deal OF
other more or less ~unimportant informa-
ton. He does his best to give Mr.. Nc
Adoo,s candidacy a black eye, for IN
stance From this we argue that Mr..
Robert Davis is opposed to the brilliant
Assistant Chief of the Navy Depart
ment-and here Is a point of some con-
sequence. Georges way of stabbing Mr.,
McAdoo is to revive the old yarn about
his being no longer a citizen of New Jer-
sey. It occurs to US that he comes
quite as near to being one as George
Brinton Mcclellan did. And yet Little
Mae was elected Governor. and a very
rood Governor he was. II Mr.. McAdoo
has become a citizen of New York pro
tenn. he can come back into this State
some night with a portmanteau and hire
a room at a hotel, There will be no
trouble about his record as a Jerseyman
when he gets running before the people
that is. assuming that he wants to
run.
Our excellent George goes on to tell
the Washington correspondent all about
the other candidates. They are, as he
remembers them. Alexander T. McGii,
~ex-Chancellor Runyon and Gus" Cutler.
He says ex-senator McPherson's name
has also been mentioned. and this Is
truly news. unless George just made It
up out of his own head to pad out his
talk. We certainly had not heard 1t be-
fore. George says nothing about Job H.
Lippincott. The Judge is not popular in
the circles which George c~ultivates.

sible for this contribution to campaign

THE "Sun" glories in vain in the Su-
prsme Court decision upon the income
tar. The citizen of ordinary wisdom
sees clearly that the Court has simply
exposed the weakest spot in the Con-
stitution, the absurd provision which
compeis the Government, If it imposes a
direct tax. to do SO in violation of every
principle OF economic science and even
OF common sense. The Suns" attack
on Judge Harlan. this morning, is alb
soiutely wantan. We like the Judges
political record as little as the Sun"
does, but the process CT finging mud at
him because he spoke his opinions out
spokenly in opposition to a majority of
his colleagues is an outrage which ev-
eryone should resent. 1t is an attack
on the liberty of free opinion and free
speech. in the first place; it is, further,
q gross aggression upon the dignity and
Independence of the bench.

tor that the woman bad recovered and
that the boy who had proven to be glri
in boys clothes. was not wholly covered
bv those horrible sores. Only. on those
parts of the body which were exposed to
view was a superficial liberation, formed
by some poisonous salve. The news OF
what had happened in the last few hours
was the talk OF the fair, and as kostla-
ltors and the public in general
for material help, placing a police,
man with box near the stand
of the money changer, for the purpose of
receiving contributions, and making the
first deposit of 100 ruble bill himself
the offerings came pouring in. and as the
evening spread it's darkening shadows
over the busy little place, Andres Michael
owich was happy, being able to give the the
poor woman the pretty sum OF !oo0
rubles ($5OO.) On her knees she thanked
messenger of God, sent by Him to restore
to her the beloved child and make her. in
her own estimation, rich woman.
The people that attend the fair in Be-
rosowka now have long forgotten the IN
oident that created such an excitement
twenty years ago. but it had brought its
fruit. Andres Michaelowitch kostJakow
had not only stopped the begging OF.
crippled children at the fair on his estate,
but through the influence OF his friends
in St. Petersburg, steps were taken to
overcome this evil and the fairs pl esent
the same appearance today as they did
years ago, except that one feature is taken
from it, the "crippled child-bcggar;' and
as natural consequence the gypYes do
not steal so many children, as 1t has be-
come improbable.

each boy or girl that was asking aims

the woman under the protection of kostla-

her and considered her insane in the nope

Fifteen little wretches had been inspect
ed but none had the marks for which the
poor mother was SO eagerly seeking.
Only few more remained and her nope
was almost eXtinguished as she approached
little boy of about eight years:
almost skeleton of the child, and sitting
in a little wagon the legs and arms and a
part OF the chest exposed to view showed
sores of most repulsive character, making
the impression as if the whole body. OF
the child was covered with them. The
woman carefully pulled the little soiled
shirt of coarse linen tar enough back
from the neck to permit a glimpse at the
spot between the shoulder blades where
her girl had those two little moles.
4 She looked. she looked again; then turn
ing the face OF the boy to permit a full
view of it she screamed out: Nadia,
my child!' and fell senseless to the
ground. Helping hands took her and the
little boy at once to the nearest house
and summoned the doctor of the district.
Kostjakow gave the order to arrest the
gypsy family the child belonged to. but
they had fled as soon as they saw the
way the search for the child was going on.

WILL PURVIS TO HANG.

The Supreme Court affirms the le-
gality Of the lower court in resent
encing viii Purvis to the gallows,
and fixes the 18th day Of December
for the execution. Judge Woods, in
rendering the decision Of the court,
said:
This case was heretofore appealed
to this court and affirmed and the day
fixed for the execution, and on said
date the defendant was actually
hanged, but the moose slipped and
death did not result, and the sheriff
failed and declined to make Il second
attempt to hang him. The prisoner
was then held for further sentence by
the court in which he vas convicted.
He was not rc-Sentenced at the next
ensuing term Of said court, but was
held as a witness Ia numerous white
cap trials. He was subsequently, re.
sentenced, and appealed from the
same, and assigned for error that the
last sentence was Illegal. The court
here holds otherwise.

HOG RAISING.

idly increasing interests which is be-

publication imperative. and the au-

a thoroughly practical manner.
The first section of the bulletin
gives a description Of the most desira-
bic form of an animal Of the various
breeds, and also states the objections
able, which are most frequently met
with. The breeds described are the
Poland China, Berkshire, Chester
White and Duroc-JcrseyS. In this
connection the score card adopted by

Judges Of Swine Is given and OK

The Times Democrat says: "Ex-
Congressman John r. Lynch has de-
veloped an ingenious plan by which
he hopes to overturn the section of
the State Constitution by which the
colored men are disqualified as cleo
tors. He proposes that the colored
men nominate a candidate for Con-
gress in every district, and adds
"First, VIC will appeal to the nation
tional House of Representatives to
enfranchise them by the provision of
the Constitution which declares that
the House alone has the power to de-
eide the manner Of choosing its repre-.
sentative.

the Republicans on this subject, ant
will discover that fact if he goes or

. THE ELECTION.

In Tuesdays elections the Democ-
racy Of the country has again been
overwhelmed, probably not so sweep
ing in its results rs the election OF
last year, but it leaves the party with
but little hope of success in the COM
ing presidential election; however
that event is yet a year of, and ere
then the wandering sheep may return
to the Democratic fold. In some OF
the States the Republican gains are
in excess of those Of last year, and 1t
is highly probable that Maryland,
Kentucky and New Jersey are lost to
the Democratic column. The two
latter named States have always re-
NAMED sulidly Democratic, even dur
ing the war they never wavered in
their allegiance to the party of Jeffcr-
son. To lose these States is almost
enough to make one despair of re-
trieying the ground thus lost for many
years to come.
Many theories are advanced as to
the causes which lead to recent defeats
of the Democratic party. The lack
Of votes is the prime reason therefor.
| We attribute this lack of votes to the
lack of courage on the part OF the
Democrats in Congress in dealing with
public questions which came before
them. They were devoid Of unity Of
action in the matter of reducing the
tariff. They were at sea as to how
they should proceed, or whether they
should proceed at all in wiplng out
the inquitous Mckinley tariff law
they had promised to do, and upon
which promise they were elected. In
stead of dealing with this and other
measures with tlrmness they were like
so many sheep without a bellwether
to guide them. This dilly dallyiLg
and uncertainty, caused the Republi-
cans who had assisted the Democratic
party in getting control of the gov
eminent lost faith in its wisdom to
steer the ship of state into a safe har-
Dor, and they returned to their party.
For the same reason large inroads
have been made in the ranks of the
Democratic party by desertiOn of its
followers to other parties. The Dem
ocrats have let the golden opportunity
slip of perpetuating themselves into
power, but vain repinings 60 for
naught let US 80 to work with re-
newed vigor in an effort to regain our
lost ground.
Behind the darkest cloud their is al.
ways a silver lining. Mississippi, like
an oasis on the desert waste, is still
unwavering in her devotion to Demo
cratic principles. She has elected her
candidates for State offices by a large
majority, and with few exceptions
the county and beat tickets have been
elected. Burkittism, populiteism, in
de~pendentism and all the other isms

NEW CAPITOL BUILDING.

The question OF a new State House
is and has been generally discussed by
the people and press of Mississippi,
and it seems to be the universal de-
sire for q new and modern executive
mansion be erected on the site Of the
old one.
Fond memories Of other days clus-
ter around the old building, which
has withstood the fury Of the storm
king and the whitening blight of time
so many years, and for sentimental
reasons we would like to see it stand,
but the impress Of time warns us that
it is only a question Of a very short
period when the tottering old structure
will be a heap of ruins. The man who
builds passes away and knows not who
will destroy his handiwork. Its walls
have sheltered some OF the greatest
minds Of this or any other country.
Prentiss, Footc, Davis, Lamar and a
host Of other Mississippi's great sons,
statesmen, orators and of giant intel
lect, have stood within its Enclosure
and poured forth their impassioncd
eloqucnce, startling the world with its
grandeur and magniflcencc.
For these and other reasons We
revere the old State House Of ante
bellum days, and would be glad that
it could last until time is no more
But it is plainly marked by the raw
ages of time, and the hand of decay
has set its seal on the bleak and crum
bling walls, and the winds have rat
tied against its windows, and hOwlet
and moancd around its walls, a fitting
requiem of the turbulent livcsof some
of the speakers who swayed the mul
titudes for wal or for this or tina
political party.
The building is in a dangerous con
dition. 1t has been declared so by al
architect, and the earthquake of las
week contributed towards its destruc
tion, and when the Legislature as
scmbles that body should take immc
diatc steps for the erection of a new
State House. DO not be niggardly il
the appropriation forthe purpose. LIE
the structure be a magnificent one
costing not less than n million dol
lars. Mississippi is a great State, he
people proud and the Capital building
should be a stately one, which we Cal
point to with pride, no difference
what the cost may be.

there would be no way to prevent the

If two men were about to fight a
justice, who favored the fight, could
bring them before him, as provided
by section 1888, and put them under

security. They could then have The
fight, and the justice could then have
them arrested and impose on them thu
minimum fine OF 800 each. as pr0vid
ed by section 1860, and make each o
them pay the forfeiture Of $1,000, o.
