OPPRESSION OR PIRACY.

Captain Foley, of the British bark
Gler tells a story OF what looks like
oppression, or perhaps piracy. His
vessel went to Ship Island for quaran-
tine and after the doctor made his in
spection the pilot vas released. The
pilot compelled Capt. +. TO sign cards
for both in and out pilotages, amount
ing to sSS, although the vessel was to
come up through the sound to load at
Horn Island. The Ship Island harbor
master then took charge of the vessel
and brought her to Round Island in
spectiOn station on the nth instant,
for which a charge of $50 was made.
This makes sos for pilotage for Il ves-
sci seeking a marine hospital service
practique certificate. 1t is thought
that charging for duty not performed
is as culpablc in a pilot as in any
other calling. The rule is at
ports of call to charge but one pilot
age, and frequently "orders" are given
for less than one rate. Last season
the British steamship SchiehalliOn
went to Ship Island for quarantine,
having been guided into the harbor by
a pilot who did not come IN board.
She came up the sound to Horn Island
for her load under a contract with Il
Horn Island pilot. After her arrival
here she was seized by a U. s. marshal
and was compelled to pay two pilot
ages, with the marshal's fees and ex-
penses, or suffer the worse penalty of
delay and court charges.
We suffer enough at this port
through the demands Of the Treasury
department for all vessels from in.
fected ports to undergo quarantine at
Ship Island, and protest against the
grabbing methods Of the Ship Island
pilots. In fact vessels bound to that
quarantine should not be required tt
submit to compulsory pilotage MOI
pay more than for actual services per
formed.
We suggest that the matter be re-
ferred to the Secretary of the Treas
ury and the Pilot Commissioners Of
Harrison county in the hope of a rea'
sonable measure of relief. 90

ADDITIONAL TRAIN SERVICE.

Earnest efforts are making to in
duce the l.. & N. r. II. management
to put Il Coast Accommodation train
this summer between Mobile and
Scranton, similar to that which has
been run these many years between
New Orleans and Ocean Springs. The
last mentioned train has come to be
a cherished institution among the
residents Of that section through
which it passes, and Indispensable to
them as food and raiment.
Such train service has become a
necessary adjunct to suburban life,
and is a powerful factor in the max
ing up Of thriving towns near the
large cities. They are, to the region
traversed, like the trolley and cable
cars to the great cities, and the more
effective the service, the greater the
benefit. These present an excellent
opportunity, IN the establishment Of
a Mobile-Scranton accommodation
train to cater materially to the COM
fort, health and pleasure of the popu-
lation Of both places, as well as that
of the intervening country.
In addition to serving the interests
of their patrons, the running of such
a train as that suggested, and which
is SO widely advocated, would doubt
less rebound to the financial benef,
Of the railroad.
If the action of the Railroad Com
pany in this matter is in keeping
with their customary enterprise ant
sagacity, the Coast Accommodation
from Mobile to Scranton will be ar
accomplished fact.

ODE TO REPUBLICANISM.
by j. y.

Don't speak OF nethermost ends
Inhabited by the Republican friends,
For the devil his angels seuds
To the Republican Convention.
There. / regret to own,
Justice has resigned her imperial throne,
And dying virtues is heard TO moan
In the Republican Convention.
The negro. with his kinky head.
Cannot deile the white mans bed,
For fair st. Louis has saidt
You are OF the Republican Convention
Billy McKiu'ey's mighty boom
Cannot dispel the awful gloom
That has ovettaken the coon
AT the Republican, Convention.
The biggest devil that is in the clan
Is the leader OF the mighty van,
And is ny far the nohlest man
In the Republican Convention.
There. in vile secret conclave,
You will find the negro and the knave,
Who will advocate the silver craze
In the Reputl ican Convention.
There rascallty has taken her station
With a SIN that would curse a nation,
And the vilest place In creation
Is the Republican Convention.
Aitho' the devil is not there,
The reason Is he is well aware
They vii go 70 hades without his care,
Al the Rp,unljran Convention

Masonic HOme.-The board OF trus.
tees of the widows and orphans
Masonic home met at Jackson last
week to discuss measures touching the
same. 1t is estimated that $4,000 will
be required to build the house. The
board has On hand $4,000 in cash and
$4,000 in securities. The site will
not be selected until half the funds
are in hand. A per capita tax Of so
cents has been levied on each mason
in the State, and it is estimated this
will bring in about $1,000 annually.
The board Is seeking a judiciOus in
vestment for the funds now on hand.

The best way to build up o town is

The hest way to build up q town is
to stand by each and every man In
town who does right. Whenever a
man is doing right, do not tear him
down. All the residents Of the town
ought to be partners, not opponents.
In all likelihood the more business
your rival does the more you will do.
Every business man who treats his
customers courteously and fairly will
get his share, and the more business
that can be secured by united efforts
the better it will be for all. When a
town ceases to grow 1t begins to die,
and the more people try to kill each
other In their business or good names
the more rapid will utter ruin come.
Stand together for the advancement
of every citizen. II a man shows
to prosper, do not keep him
back through jealously or weigh him
with cold indifference.-Times
