stInginess

II there is anything on earth that
gives us a longing for eternal rest
and deep, damp soiitude; 1t is q
man who comes TO town or country,
grows ricn and then squats down on
the gold like hen or a door knob
and 10 too stingy TO let The gravel
grind in his own gizzard.
A real genuine IS karat stlngy
man can't be honest, and IT he ever
gets TO heaven and has wings he will
fold them up and walk for fear he
might rufiie plume or lose tail
feather. The kind OF men who be-
lieve in living and letting others live,
and who, when they have dollar,
don't squeeze II until the goddess OF
liberty feels like she had on corset.
Such squeezing is what causes the
hard times and stops the circulation
OF the American eagle. II IL were
not for cur broad gagged, enterpris-
ing men, IL would be impossible to
build up prosperous city. Life
would be enc big game Of grab, and
the devil take the hindmost would be
the order Of the day.--Tcxas Har.

BAY ST. LOUIS CA uyAL.

Comparatively speaking, The
Echo has never heard of so great
q success of any undertaking as
that which crowned all efforts of
those who assisted in the Carni-
val festivities of 1896, the first at
tempt of the kind ever made in
Bay st. Louis, and that which il
more remarkable arises from the
so short a time in which all pre-
parations We're conceived and ex-
ecuted. BaySt. Louis first Mar
di Gras street pageant has come
and gone, and public opinion il
universal IN. praise.
Considering that such an elab.
crate and expensive scale Of en-.
joyment was never tried hereto.
fore, makes it tjustifable in speak
ing of those contributions
coming from the local bust
ness people and other private
sources as very liberal, and while
their motive in so freely giving
was not alone of the selfish
Thought for double return in a
uiness way yet we are sure,
Judging from so many people at
tracted to the Bay, in addition to
having their pleasures fully real
lied that the donors fin.
ancial returns we're somewhat
surprising.
SioulI ! Mlrdi Gras cele-
brated in such style be made per-
manent, we feel safe to say that
in comparison Bay st. Louis
would be as much benefited al
the Carnivals of New Orleans
have assisted and famed that city
1t would be we'll at summers
end for an organization to be eff.
fected exclusively of the business
and representative people of the
place to celebrate Mardi Gras
next year in thorough style, moi
only for the lot Of pleasure and
advertisement offered thereby
and not only to bring other poo
pie and their money here, but as
we'll to keep hundreds of our owr
people home and more particular
their dollars. This celebration
has taught Bay st. Louis that one
good lesson, for at no previou,
year SO few people left theil
homes for the big city.
The Echo is glad to hear that
even so early as now an organiza.
tion for next year is already or
foot, and from first authority we
learn that some forty-odd dollars
have been subscribed.
A spirit which was widely man.
ifested and truly commendable
was that shown literally by those
of our people who decorated their
places of business and dwellings
in honor of the event.
The Echo wishes to compliment
the originator, and one and all
who assisted in this Mardi Gras
celebration, and feels highly gra-
tilted to be able to note such a
magnificent attempt 50 glorioasly
successful. Long live our Kar-
nival Kingsl

There are some stra hiugs
about the late United Sl,te bond
issue. One remarkable de eIopment
is the fact that there Is no dearIh OF
money in the country. The Offer
ings were over five times the amount
OF the bonds put upon the market,
and the premiums lid averaged over
ten per cent, though only bearing
four per cent. per annum interest.
These bids. too, were 10 gold, which
proves either that large sums OF the
yellow metal have been boarded or
by some means II has been drawn
from the government reserve Mer-
idian News.

The Canton Times, under the cap

dereiiction Of duty or malfeasance in

is great, can well afford TO spend

There is sauch adverse criticism
prevailing relative to the burlcs-
que representation in the Mardi
Gras procession of our local fire
department. This is to be re-
gretted as we are positive no re-
fections were meant, but all done
in spirit of fun. The present
condition of the department is all
due to the utter neglect of the
city and its citizens and to no one
else, consequently our brave fire
laddies should entertain no re-
proachful feelings.

They know that u free coinage

allow a measure for the relief of

thus checking needed legislation
these senator's are injuring the

Fortunately the terms of many

A FALL IN PRICES.
Spanish Securities Took n Drop on the Lon
don Exchange.


London. April 7.-Spanish securities
fell on the stock exchange to-day in
consequence of the action of the United
States House Of Representatives yester-
day in regard to the question Of Cuban
belligerency.
The Globe this afternoon SAYS: "Tbe
chief danger Of the situation is that the
Spanish pride will never surrender
Spain's most valued colony until beat
en- to the ground. and should there be
repetition of the popular demonstra-
tons against the United States. Ameri-
can passion might fame up in an ugly
manner and compel President Cleve-
land to demand satisfaction. This
would almost inevitably result in war.
and. while the United States would. Of
course, crush Spain, American trade. al
ready very delicate would be very
largely wrecked" The Globe expresses
the opinion that it is improbable that
President Cleveland will seriously con-
slider the concurrent resolutions.
The st. James Gazette remarks. Con
gress voted with the intention of being
offensive to Spain. This, presumably.
Is the new American diplomacy. and we
must candidlv confess that we do not
admire it. When it is tried against the
sensitive people already in difficulties
it is eminently calculated to prove an
explosion. The Spaniards do not under
stand that it is part Of the Presidential
campaign"

entertains his friends. and she vel
comes hers i'm the same room, but in

know them say that the old couple have
FORGOTTEN what the quarrel was about

sible.

The Embarrassing Position OF Telephone
Operator.
New York. April John Coyne,
telephone operator at the Bayonne
Central station. had an unpleasant eX-
perience yesterday morning. AT 2;SO
o'clock he undressed and went to sleep
on cot in front Of his switch board.
He forgot 10 lock the outside door and
q thief entered and stole all his clothes.
The thief was seen on Eighth street,
with the clothing. by Patrolman Sween-
or. who arrested him. Then the police
rang uD Jersey City. The operator
made the connection and was astonish-
ed TO hear that i'm the pocket of the coat
found i'm the possession Of the thief was
a letter addressed to himself. Then he
missed his clothes and notified the po-
lice. He was informed that they would
have to- retain the clothes as evidence.
This put him i'm a worse position than
ever as ne was shortly to be relieved
from work by the young woman who is
the dav operator. He finally induced
the police to give up his shirt and
trousers. and he borrowed a coat to get
home in.

UNREST IN MADRID.

A Belief that the United States Will Rec
ognize the Cuban Insurgents.
Madrid. April THE cabinet will
meet to-day and consider the news
from Washington. There is a general
feeling of unrest, and a belief that
recognition of the Cuban insurgents as
belligerents will be declared.
The principal newspapers print pa
triotic, spirited articles, all saying in
effect that the moment is fast approach
ing when the Spanish government and
nation must face resOlutely the decisive
stage of the Cuban question. and that
between Spain and the United States,
and must also be prepared for all the
consequences of the vindication OF the
Spanish right to repel any Interference
in the struggle between the mother
country and the Cuban insurgents.
Between the lines it is easy to see
that the papers are ready for another
outbreak OF popular excitement But
the government is determined to con-
tinue to show energy in quelling dem
onstratiOns calculated TO alter harmon
ious relations with America. or which
would be likely to paralyze the contem-
plated negotiations between the two
governments.
