coL1MA DISASTER RECALLED.
More Cowardly Incompetency of Cap
tain and Crew of British
Schooner.

NEW YORK, July 23.-The Nor
wegian steamer Terrier arrived to-
day, from Demarara, July II. Cap
tain Berg reports that at 80 p. m.
OF the day on which his steamer
left Demarara schooner was
sighted close off the starboard bow.
Captain Berg watched the schoon-
er's movements closely and at the
same time hauled his steamers
wheel to port, expecting the
schooner would keep on her course.
The schooner did so for time and
then she suddenly changed her
course, running directly across the
Terriers bow. Before the steamer
could be stopped or her Roadway
checked she struck the schooner,
sinking her almost instantly. She
proved to be the British schooner
Eagle, from Barbados, for Demara-
ra. The passengers and crew on
board the Eagle numbered twenty
nine. Twenty.four persons were
saved, two women, two men and
one child being drowned.
When the collision occurred the
schooner's master was one OF the
first to abandon his vessel and did
nothing whatever to assist in saw
ing his unfortunate passengers or
crew. The men on board the
schooner also showed the white
feather and hurriedly left the ves-
sci without making the least at
tempt to save the women and
children.

Sound Principles .

The democrats Of Massachusetts
held their state convention lasI We'd
nesday, and the following plank of
religious liberation was adopted:
Religious differences should find
no place in American politics, and
the democratic party is- unalterably
opposed to the spirit of iutolerant
bigotry fostered for political pu,pos-
es by those who seek to break dis
cord and anamosities among the citi-
zens Of the republic.
Secret political bodies are curse
to party, state and nation. We de-
nonnce the so-ealied American Pro-
teciive Association, its.purposes, it's
methods and its allies. We welcome
the assistance Of all good citizs IA
who will cooperate In the suppression
OF any political movement organized

dov, STONE AND THE vIcE-pREs
lDENCY.

The North Mississippi Democrat
touches tender chord in the
breast of all true men in its fol-
lowing tribute to that peerless
Mississipian, Governor John M.
Stone:
The Democrat is much oratified
ut the many prompt responses of
endorsement and the consequent
wide notice given its nomination
of Mirsissippi's peerless governor,
the Hon. John M. Stone, FOR the
high position of Vice-President
of tho United States. The wis
d I'm and fitness Of the suggestion
and the evident good politics his
nomination would promote, have
directed popular attention to him
in degree to warrant his friends
in aggressively pushing his claims
to the front and keeping them
there till the national convention
does its work. That there are
considerations, involving decided
points of availability and perhaps
the success Of the democratic
party, to be subserved in second
ing the national ticket with the
name of this superb southern
leader, thoughtful politicians are
beginning to recognize. His ex-
pressed disinclination to be CON
sidered in such q connection
fhould not weaken the ardor of
his friends and admirers, for such
exalted honors are not usually
sought after by the men who
should have them. John M.
Stone was never beaten for an
Office, and has discharged every
public trust, public and private,
committed to his hands with cred
it and distinction, and to crown
his long public career with u vice
presidential nomination would be
benefitting recognition of his
worth and services.

Why ohio's Governor tfas no Veto.

The governor OF Ohio is the only
executive in the country who has not
the power Of veto II seems that
the Buckeye State has done business
without this provision for years. The
story Of how 1t was abolished is In
teresting. Years ago Ohio governors
derived big share of their income
from marriages, for performing which
they were allowed SZ each. In the
early days that was large sum, aad
the executives counted this princi-
pal source Of revenue. Finally the
fee was abolished by Legislative en-
actmcnt, but the governors salary
was sufficiently increased to cover
the fees thus lost. General Arthur
s. Clair, who was then governor of
the territory, vetoed the bill abolish
ing the foes and signed the one rais-
iIg the governors salary. This per-
formance, 20 the story goes, so an
gered the people that they soon after
ward abolished the veto power, and
later took it out of the constitution. -

A GREAT TIME.
An Indian Dance Near TIshomInRo Last
Saturday Night Turned Into Yer
table Mob Woman Shot.

Charley Burns was in the city to-
day from his farm near Holder.
From him it Is learne' that on last
Saturday night there was a medicine
dance, known as the "Peshofa, -
given at the place of Silas Russell, six
miles southwest of Tishomingo, on
the Washita.
As the dance progressed, every
body got drunk, and a general fight
ensued.
Whiskey peddlers were there in
abundance, TO supply the dancers
with fire water.
Mr.. Burns was on hand in the fore
part of the night, and had the ped
dlers spotted, only waiting the be-
ginning of operations 10 arrest them,
but in the meantime his horse got
sick an6 died, leaving him on foot.
About l O'Clock in the morning the
ball opened, and when the smoke of
battle cleared away it was found that
Mary Lewis, a young Indian woman,
had received serious if not mortal
wound.
The shooting was general, and CON
tinued until the stock of ammunition
was exhausted.
An Indian officer was present, but
instead of trying to arrest the drunk
en- mob, he joined them, and carried
as high a hand as the other brawl-
ers.
1t was a great time, surprising
