THOMAS HUGHES.

With the death of, Thomas Hughes
at the ripe age of seventy-three the
world loses a man who has enriched
its life in definite and valuable way
The author of ';Tom Brown was not
literary artist nor "a great writer, but
man may be both and not accomplish
the supremely desirable thing it was
given to Thomas Hughes to do. He
wrote one great book, a book which
has commended itself already to the
affection of two generations of boys
by appealing in a way they can under
stand to what is best in them-their
love of active sport, their fondness
for fair play, their sense of truth and
honor. He held up the type of char
acter it is the effort of the great En-
glish public schools to form, in such
a way as to make it almost a race
ideal He so depicted the spirit and
principles of Arnold of Rugby as to
make that fine life reach and affect
thousands of boys in addition to the
hundreds who were personally infiu-
enced by it.
The qualities and defects of Hughes
school boys are the basic qualities and
defects of the Anglo-SaXon race. On
the enduring foundation of boy nature.
he built a structure that will remain.
Other work he did. in philanthropy, in
law, in literature; but it is as the author
of "Tom Brown that the world will
hold him in grateful memory so long
we are willing to affirm-as the An
glo-Saxon school boy continues to eX-
list.
Recently Senator Vest said that the
Democratic national convention should
pledge its nominee not to veto any
currency bill congress might pass.
Prior to that it was said that it would
be proposed in the Republican con-
vention to remit the question to the
congressional districts. with the i'm
piled condition that the president, #
they elected one, would not override
the wishes of the majority of the dis
tricts. Now comes Mr.. McKinley's Ohio
convention and adopts a platform ac-
credited to him. which declares in fa-
vor of "bimetallism, using both gold
and silver at ratio in the absence of
international agreement, ''to be deter
mined by legislation" Which means,
if it means anything, that presiden-
tial veto will not intervene, but there
shall be such action las congress shall
determine. Mr.. Mckinley seems to
have taken the wind out of Senator
Vests sails; to ave"jumped his claim"
in the language of the homesteaders,
and to have offeredss ten acres and a
mule" to each one of the silver Repub-

the president Of the War College
at New Port, r. L., who was for

practicability of the canal, he
said, was no longer doubt, the
only question being the cost. the
estimates of which ranged from
$65,000,00 to $87,000.000 The

rtey look forward to the time when
they shall be richer than they are
now, and they know that il the wish.
es of the silverites were carried out
that time would not be far distant.
They are convinced that the true
remedy for the ills of poverty, Of
which so many justly complain, Is
not the reduction Of all 10 similar
poverty through currency schemes
which mean repudiation and confisca-
tion OF property, but In increasing
production so that all shall get more
Of the things they desire. They do
not believe 10 injuring the rich. They
prefer TO be rich themselves, and
they know very we'll that anything
that strikes at the men who are at
the head OF the financial and INDUS
trial enterprises Of this country, in
the long run Injuries every class and
hurts most the poorest and depen-
dent. This knowledge will save the
country from silyerism, populism,
socialism and oil ether attacks on
the rights Of property.

Jackson, Miss, April Great
excitement was caused here this
morning when it was learned that
an effort had been made during
the night to tear down the state
Capitol, and hundreds Of people
have visited tho building.
Two large stones were removed
from the southwest corner, and
had pot Secretary of State Power,
who WAS working in his office la

fall and gone to investigate, a
large section of the crumbling
building would have been UNDER

The building is old, and in such
dilapidated condition that the re-

would cause collapse, and the
state officials talk about moving

OF A BOILER AT THE PLAN

The Grow Seriously Hurt.

Green,ille, Miss, April H.
one of the most horrible accidents
that ever occurred in Greenville
is the result of boilea explosion
at the Planters Oilmill at 2 o.
clock this afternoon. II seems
that the hand of fate is against
this splendid Greenville industry.
just one year ago fire destroyed
the entire plant, with a loss to
the owners of more than $3.50, 900
hut with pluck and enterprise a
new mill and new machinery was
ready for crushing the seed Of the
crop of 1895 by Nov. last. The
plant was one Of the most COM
plete in the south, perfect in
every detail. But today while
manager Alexander was at dinner,
an explosion was heard and a
shock was felt, and the boiler and
engine rooms and n great part of
the main buildings were a mass
OF ruins and oil fire. The two
massive boilers had exploded, the
ruin was wrought, and the cries
of the injured were heartrending
The Greenville fire department
was soon at the scene, aud within
a short time, with the special wa.
ter facilities at the mill the fire
was soon under control.
The loss will amount to $50, ,00(
covered by an insurance policy fol
that amount in the Hartfors
Steam Boiler Insurance Co., ot
Hartford, Conn. From beneath
the smoldering debris was drag
ged the cooked bodies of FIVE hu
man beings, four negroes and on,
white man, all dead.
The cause of tho explosion, Il
is charged, was a dry boiler, int,
which water was pumped, but a,

The Louisville and Nashville
people are very much gratifed
just now over the fact that other
and large shipments of pig iron
for expectation are coming in
sight. Some days ago ten car
loads of pig iron passed through
N. o. en- route to Liverpool, and
at the time General Freight Agent
Shepard, who accompanied the
shipment to this city, stated that
the outlook for this kind of busi-
ness was quite encouraging. The
Louisyille & Nashville has made
every effort possible to get this
business started through here,
and it seems, after several fail
ures, than they are at last about
to see the results of their labors
produce desired results.

Politics TNLOUISIAN1.

Politics in Louisiana are decidedly
alarming. Populites, republicans,
and the anything-element have form
ed combination and are making
desperate efforts to oyerwhelm de-
mocracy IN the coming election.
IL this movement we're not headed
by prominent and influential men IL
would be OF no consequence, but
scme OF that class, unfortunately, are
interested, and not only interested
but are working with indomitable
ardor to bring the state In the coils
Of the arch.enelny.
Louisiana has passed through
much political strife since its admis-
sion TO statehood, strife which does
not extend far back in the past, and
II is remarkable that II should so soon
forget and expose itself to another
period Of ignominous rule. Aud yet
this is precisely what will happen
unless democracy brings oil its re-
sources to account and crushes the
enemy.
Never In the history Of the world
has an individual, municipality, state
or nation willingly subjected itself to
the bondage of slavery and degrade
tion. Liberty is one OF the immuta-
BILE laws Of nature, for when an ami
mated thing observes itself oppress--
ed its yearning point TO the north
pole Of freedom. Will Louisiana,
having gone through political agita-
tion and bloodshed, sacrifice gov
ernment by the people fer the peo-
pie, for the vile and despotic govern
men: Of republicans and negroes ?
We imagine We can hear every blade
OF grass, every tree, every breath In
its broad domain, answer In stento-
rian tones, no a thousand times no
These politicians, void OF honor
and respect, who would bring ruin
and devastation TO the state, advance,
as a plea for their course, the sugar
Il . Fl i. =.
industry, contending that the repub-
lican party only can and will awe Il
from destruction. This is false. That
party once helped the sugar indus
try, but IL will never do so again !;
the only salvation sugar has now Is
in allegiance 10 the democratic party.
But admitting the party would help
sugar, would IL compensate the ills
which would relatively follow9
We cannot answer for our sister
state, but were the same conditions
existant In the liberty loving state OF
Mississippi we know the people
would consign the sugar and every
industry imaginable TO the shades Of
hades rather than sacrifice white su-
premacy for negro domination.

LLLOXI,S AB., URDITY


The city council Of Biloxi has
passed an ordinance, alleging to pro.
tect that municipality from the SIN all
pox, which 10 the most ncnsensical
measure and one to impede daily
business and progress, that has ever
occupied space on a city's minute

that any person coming from New

will have to produce a certificate
from the board OF health OF the for

workings Of this ordinance, the select

aud especially when necessity does
not demand any ac. ion OF the kind.

Thomas Plearsall and others
against the Great Northern Rail-
way Company and the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad Company
against the commonwealth of
Kentucky, Justice Brown read a
decision holding that it is illegal
for one line to consolidate with a
competing line. Justices Field
and Brewer dissented. The broad
question involved in the Louis

right of one railway company to
acquire control either by purchase
or consolidation, of the property
of another company whose lines
are parallel with its own.

rEuE PRESS.

Col. A. X. Mcclure, the distin-
guished editor and proprietor of
the Philadelphia Times, in his
address to the Iowa Press Asso-
ciation at Atlanta, Ga, said:
Though the profession of jour
nalism is not appreciated by the
MASSES, the man who conducts
his journal as it should be con-
Quoted occupies the highest civil
trust. This is strong language,
but mean every word / say. The
man who runs his paper as it
should be run is the educator of
his race, and holds position of
trust that cannot be equaled in
any other line. A paper is the
one thing that is ceaseless, and
that goes into every home and is
read by every member of the FAM
lily. II molds the opinions Of
men and directs the efforts Of all.
1t is as tireless us the dropping
rain, and as gentle. II goes every
where, and is a most potent fac
tor in making men better or
in making them worse. The man
who holds an important .position
on the staff of great newspaper
holds the highest civil trust that
can be obtained in all this land.

seems to be misapprehension all
over Mississippi concerning the
time when the new pistol law goes

of the law are under the impress

signcd by the governor. This is
a mistake. The law does not 90

it is approved by the governor.
There can be no convictions under

Of the law in all parts of the state
