comes down to members of the State
Legislatures and county officials he
has direct interest in it. These are
the people he does business with and
who control local affairs. When on
election dav you go to the polls to cast
your ballot, cast it for the man who is
best qualified to faithfully perform the
duties of the office. What difference
does it make in the performance of the
duties of his office, whether good,
capable honest man is Democrat, Re-
publican or PopulIst. If he is honest,
the best and most capable man for the
Office of any of the candidates then
vote for him regardless of what you or
he may believe on national questions.
What John Jones thinks about the
tariff has nothing to do with the du-
ties of an assessor; neither does what
Mr.. Smith thinks about the money
question have anything to do with the
performances of the duties of the
sheriff. The same is true in regard to
embers of the legislature, and the
other county officials.
Politicians of any party will no.
agree with us. We don't expect them
to. 1t is simply plain, hard, common
horse sense. 1t is practical and the i'm
portance of it needs to be infused into
the farmers just as much as the best
methods of growing crops. So long as
the farmer remains hide-bound to any
one party on local and legislative af-
fairs, just SO long will he get left in
the procession as he mas in the past.
Carrying out this plan means good citi-
zenship. 1t means good, honest cap
able men in office and an honest and
effective local government,
When politician comes around this
year and tells you that it is your para
mount duty" to support the ticket,

PARAMOUNT HUMBUG.

It's year of important elections
and the politicians of all parties will
soon be abroad in the .land importun-
ing the farmer to cast his vote for the
Democratic. Republican or Populist
party as the case may be. So far as the
national election is concerned il is
proper for the farmer to cast his vote
for the party that represents his DO
litical principles and belief. This IN

1t ris shame that Mississippi has
never been represented creditably at
the Centennial at Philadelphia, Chicago
Worlds Exposition, New Orleans or
Atlanta. Her progressive citizens who
attended any of these places had to
hang their heads in shame. Is she so
poor she cannot cope with like States,
or is it because she is inhabited by
lntiquated fossils upon whom the en-.
ightened sun of the 10 century has
lever shone? If she is dead to everv

ment Of the voters Of Texas. We have

ment of the voters of Texas. We have
issues of higher Importance than the
money question. That issue ought
not and will not divide the democracy.
There is no other party to which our
people can turn. We are not ready to
embrace the wild schemes of the popu-
lists, and after all these years of con-
tending with the republicans we do not
propose to urrendsr to them. But
there is no cause ror alarm about Texas.
The democracy is safe and will give the
Chicago nominees the biggest "vote of
any state in the Union.'''
One of the amusing incidents of the
repu blican campaign for that nomina-
tion is the trotting out at this late
day, when Mckinley looks sure win
ner, of Speaker Reeds war record,
which, by the way, was not very san
culinary. He was acting assistant pay
master ia the Navy from April 1864 to
November 1865, and was attached to
the Mississippi squadron. The anus
ing part of the record is the attempt to
credit Reed with the achievements of
the squadron, which he had about as
much to do with directing as one of the
powder monkeys"
An order extending the Civil Service
rules to all branches OF the govern

The QuiiIayute Harbor Appropriation

Port Angeles. Jan. 27.-Special.-Two
bills of Importance to the people of Cial-
lam county viii be introduced IN congress
during its present session one provinces
for an appropriation OF YOU'D Tor a harDof
at the mouth of the Quillayute river The
other provides that the government land
in this city. known as urban block s., and
suburban lot Is, be granted TO tbs city
and county. The city hall. county court
house and Jail are now located on these
blocks. In the memorial 10 congress con-
corning the harbor at the mouth OF the
Quillayute river the following interesting
facts are set forth; This harbor is the only
one on the Pacific coast between Cape
F1attery and Gray's harbor which can be
made suitable for deep water ships.
THAT the rivers OF the ouinayute valley
drain territory aggresating about l,Z6J
square miles of landau area nearly one
sixth larger than the state OF Rhode ISL
and-and fully 80 per cent. of which Is still
"a part of the public domain. That this
area, with the exception Of about 10000
acres. is denseiy covered with merchanta-
bile timber of the first quality, the total
quantity being estimated by experts at
from II .0oo. eOo. GO 10 2o.0oo ooo.Ooo feet.
That the numerous affluents of the Quill
layute river coming down from the noun
tains north. east and southeast OF this
great region. are large streams, and suita-
Die lot DfItshs dVNA ~ TIE ocean the
natural and other products OF the
country. That the region, though
covered with great natural
wealth and blessed with a genial
climate and productive soil, and capable
of supporting large population. is al
most wholly unoccupied, because its pro-
ducts cannot now be taken TO market"
The memorial then states a feasible
method by which an excellent harbor can
be made, and in support of the plan draws
attention 10 the favorable report made by
Lieut.. Sehenck in pursuance of authority
OF congress.
