The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1896-04-25


The Indications are that congressman
Kyle, Denny and Spencer arc serving
their last terms in congress from Missis-
sippi. Gen Catchings may be reelected,
but it is mighty doubtful. .--Yazoo City
Herald.
"The indications" is mere fabri-
cation imposed on the editor of the
Herald. When that squib was written
IT was prompted by prejudice, and is
a nonsensical creation Of an editorial
pen that we have heretofore re-
garded as strictly truthful and above
reproach. Because these gentlemen
are sincere and honest enough to ex-
press themselves as favoring the
sound money policy, is no substan-
tial reason why they should not be
returned to congress. But com
mon sen'e will heal and win where
prejudice will die from its self-in-
hicted sting.

From the Ocean Springs Waves
We have yet TO know of u coun-
try newspaper not ready to take
oath upon the memory Of Benja-
min Franklin, that its political
course is not in full accord with
any enc sending it ten dollars
worth of advertising so condition
ed, when the lucre accompanies
the "ad." The entrance Of ten
dollars in a country Office is to the
editor greater than the sight Of
the millions of Vanderbilt in the
Golfers of a national bank. But
it's enough to make country
editors blood boil with savage
fury to be extended business ON
political conditions, and then DC
told to wait the resurrection for
settlement. Tbs Wave was treat
ed in just such way, and the
epistle is too rich not to be given
to our readers:
Bay ST. Lonls, Miss, April 7th.
Ocean Springs Wave:--While your rate
is too high--regnlar old iogy rate depart
ed from by all successful papers-you can
publish my card for one year, payable at
last of year, VIZ: on 9Th of April, 1897,
provided you are q i6 to paper If you
are gold bug you can donothing for ms
on any terms at any rate. / inclose card
for one square.
We do not give the name of the
author of the epistle because it is
not our purpose to give anyone
political notoriety free of charge,
at the same time we can assure
our readers that we have not
heard from the great apostle CD
of "16 to l." who is an attorney,
since our answer to his munificent
conditional proposition.

item may be interesting to hay
seeds as showing that even a col

Idaho. They were going to lynch
a fellow there the other day when
he asked permission to say few
words. 1t was granted, and he
said: "Gents, | acknowledge

killed a few men, robbed few
stages and rustled for cattle, but
| have ever been in favor Of free
silver at l6 to l." That settled it
and the lynching bee adjourned.

Killed in the House,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The major
ity against silver in the House to-day,
when the final vote was taken on con-
currence in the Senate free coinage
amendment to the tariff bill, was
larger than that of yesterday in COM
mittee of the whole. Yesterday the
motion to concur was defeated 100 to
80, majority of 10; to day it was
beaten 215 to 80, q majority of 125.
The vote today was record-making
vote and, counting the pairs, but 81
out of 356 members were unaccount-
ed for Perhaps a few absentees
lodged, but most of them were una
voidably absent and were unable TO
secure pairs. An analysis of the vote
to day shows that 1S4 Republicans
and 81 Democrats voted against con-.
currence, and SO Democrats, 25 Re-
publicans and Populists for concur
renee.

A FIend Confesses.

AUGUSTA, KY, Feb. 17.-Robert
Laughlin, who on Saturday morning
reported his house burned by murder
ers. who attacked him with knives,
and whose wife and niece were burn
ed in the building, has confessed that
he was the murderer. He says he
could not tell what put it in his mind
to brain them with a poker while they
were asleep. Blood was found on his
shirt and it was the question by the
officers how he would account for
that at the coroner's inquest which
drew from him the confession. To
prevent lynching it was arranged to
take Laughlin to the Jail at Maysville.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 1S.-The Court
of Appeals today affirmed the decision
of the lower court in the case of James
II. Swinarton of Chicago against La
Boutillier Bros. of New York. While
Mrs. Annie E. Swinarton was making
a purchase in the defendants store,
about three years ago, Mrs. Swinar.
ton was struck in the eye with a pin
which cash boy had shot at random
with a rubber sling. She sued for
$5O,000 damages and her husband,
James H. Swinarton, sued for $25, 900

medical attendance upon her. The
court awarded him $4,000 and La
Boutillier Bros. appealed the suit.

Terrible Loss of Life.

TROY, N. Y, Feb. 17.-Fire broke
out in the collar factory of J. Stethei-
mire & Co., River street, this city, this
afternoon. The greatest consterna-
ton prevailed among the 300 girl en-
ployes. Five of the girls jumped from
the fourth.story windows. One was
caught in a net by the fremen. The
other four were killed by the fall. 1t
is believed that twenty five young
women were burned to death in the
building.

Severe Cold Wave.

NEW YORK, Feb. ia cold wave
of unusual severity has spread over

to every 2, 600 inhabitants are allowed,
the present police board has on its pay
roll many more.
1t is known to the senate that the
city Of Charleston has made no resist
ance to this law. Neither in the
courts nor by any open resistance have
her citizens expressed their deep sense
of injury at the insult to them implied
by the manner in which the law is
put upon them and the manner of its
enforcement. They have endured it
with the quiet dignity and manly for
titude with which they have been ac-
customed to bear hardships.
When force, an irresistible force,
has been brought against her she has
submitted to the inevitable but wheth-
er in the minority in the State or in
the minority in the nation she has
never professed belief in opinions that
she did not believe or fawned upon
the hand that struck. Charleston has
dared to differ with the majority of
the State in politics, just as the State
of South Carolina has often differed
with other States and with the major
ity of the United States in politics.
On the subject of the dispensary law
there has been especially a great diff
ference of opinion, not only as to pol
icy of the law, but as to the methods
of its enforcement, and, although I
regret that any political form has ever
been given to the opposition to this
law, yet it is admitted on all hands
that in the endeavor to enforce it more
liberties have been taken with the
privileges of the private citizen than
any other law which has ever been
placed upon the statute books.
Our city is undergoing, perhaps, the
hardest year of her existence. The

The bill was then passed to its third
reading.
COLUMBIA, Feb. 19.-One of the first
matters up was the substitute bill to
give So, 500 to the State fair. This bill
prohibits all immoral shows, and also
gambling of any sort, on the grounds.
after some debate the bill was killed. So
there will be no appropriation for this
years fair.
COUNTY OFFICERS.
Mr.. Bacot's bill relative to the ap.
pointment of county and other officers
came up next. 1t provides that ap-
pointments of this class shall be made
by the governor on the recommends
ton of the delegation in the general
assembly.
Mr.. Bacot, in speaking for his bill,
used the arugment that it gave mem
bers of the delegations a voice in the
appointment of officers and prevented
the appointment of men who had been
rejected.
On motion of Mr.. McGill, who
thought the law now on the books
good enough, the bill was killed by a
vote of 81 to 81.
The report of the Clemson investi.
eating committee was then presented,
and received as information and order
ed to be printed in the journal.
The hour for recess having now ar
rived, the speakers gavel fell and
work was dropped until 8 o'clock.

Mr.. Kennedy, who introduced the
bill, said that he had done SO in OBJ
servance of the saying, Equal rights

When representative is sent to the
United States senate he is ut liberty to
use free pass as soon as he crosses the
State boundary, and in South Carroll
ma he should also be allowed this priv
ilege if the roads do not object. South
Carolinians, he said, should have
more confidence in one elected to q
position of honor and trust than to
have a law which prevents him from
enjoying privilege for fear OF brlb'
cry.
Mr.. Ilderton did not think such a
law on the statute books Was, by any
means, source of pride to the people
of the State. 1t was blot there, and
should be wiped away.
Mr.. Williams said that the bill was
passed by the farmers to show their
independence, and desire on their
part to refrain from accepting the
generosity of any corporation: :.
Mr.. Cooper asked Mr.. Williams IL
he intended to pay his fare to Charles
ton on Saturday. ,
He replied that he understood that
the city of Charleston was to attend to
that. -.
A vote was taken to decide whether
or not to strike out the enacting words
of the line. The vote was 26 to 81.
The bill was ordered to third read

ON CHANGE
Business Transacted and Prices Paid at
Home and Abroad


NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The stock market
was slightly more active than on Tuesday
but the distribution Of the dealings was
very Indifferent. two stocks figuring for
over one-half of the aggregate business.
These were sugar and Reading. The first
mentioned appeared to traders to be vul-
nerable on account of the recent liquida-
ton In 1t, and that contingent made per-
.sistent and fairly effective efforts to de-
press the price Reading was favorably
affected by the news of the sale of the
various properties to the reorganization
committee. The market generally was ir-
regular, with a strong undertone based
to considerable extent on the widening
market for mercantile paper, which is the
more encouraging as. the period of the
October remlttances draws near, and an
increasing disposition on the part of trust
companies and banks to put out time funds
in less exacting conditions. The alleged
prospect of an advance in the Bank of
England rate of discount tomorrow to 3
per cent, and a slight stiffening in ex-
change rates late in the day were u.ilized
by the bears against the market, but in
sugar there was no appreciable pressure
OF long stock in the active list. The market
closed heavy at slight general gains. The
Reading issues were the features of the
bond trading and scored material gains.
Government bonds were quiet but firmer
