TOBACCO KILLS CHOLERA.-Defend.
ers of tobacco smoking fall to make
use Of the most powerful arguments
in its favor. Hitherto the most that
has been claimed in favor Of smoking
was a certain subtle, beneficial effect
on the digestion and a soothing effect
on the nerves. 1t has been learned
recently, from the report of investiga-
tions OF the effects Of tobacco during
the epidemic Of cholera at Hamburg,
that cholera microbes could not exist
There were me ne the smokers.

germs to the cubic inch. There were
no traces of microbes to be found in
any Of the cigars manufactured at
Hamburg in the time of the epidemic.
The microbes die in a half to hours
exposure to smoke of Brazil, Sumatru
or Havana tobacco. The smoke of any
cigar kills the microbes. Experiments
show that in five minutes after begin
ming to smoke the microbes in the
mouth are killed. Another fac
established is that none of the per
sons employed in the tobacco factorie,
at Hamburg contracted cholera.

III PUBLIC SCHOOL
Review of Reviews.

Review OF Reviews.
The public school is the institution
which saws that the poor boy, though
he may cat coarser food and wear a
shabbier coat and dwell in a smaller
house and work earlier and later and
harder than his rich companion, still
shall have his eyes trained to behold
the same glory in the heavens and the
same beauty in the earth; shall have
his mind developed to appreciate the
same sweetness in music and the
same lovliDess in art; shall have his
heart opened to enjoy the same liter
airy treasures and the same philosophic
truths; shall have his soul stirred by
the same social influences aud the
same spiritual ideals as the children
OF his wealthier neighb0rs.
The socialism of wealth, the cquall-
zation of material conditions, is at
present an idle dream a contradictory
conception; toward which society can
take, no doubt, a few faltcring steps,
but which no mechanical invention
or constitutional device can hope to
realize in our day. The socialism OF
the intellect, the offering TO all Of the
true riches of an enlightened mind
and a heart that is trained to love the
true, the beautiful and the good; TINS
is a possibility for the children OF
every workingman; and the public
school is the channel through which
this common fund Of intellectual ana
spiritual wealth is freely distributed
alike to rich and poor.
Here native and foreign born should
meettolear the common languageano
to cherish the common history and
traditions of our country; here the sor
of the rich mar should learn to re
spect the dignity of manual labor
and the daughter Of the poor mai
should learn how to adorn and beau
tify her future humble home. Herr
all classes and conditions OF mel
should meet together and form thos
bonds of fellowship, ties of sympathy
and community of interest and ident
ity of aim, which will render thcr
superior to all the divisiye forces
scctarian religion, or partisan politics
or industrial antagonisms; and max
them all contented adhcrcnts, stron
supporters, trm defenders of that ST
cial order which must rest upon I'll
intelligence, the sympathy, the fe
lowship, the unity of its constitl
tional members.

WILLING TO COMPROMISE. Ar
EngliShman at a dinner once told d
tale of a tiger he had shot which
measured "a feet from snout to tai
tip. Every II vas astOnished, but nc
one vcntured to ~insinuate a doubt OF
the truth Of the story. Presently q
ScOtchman told his tale. He had once
caught Il fish which he said he was
unable to pull in alone, managing
only to land it at last with the aid OF
six friends.
ut was a skate, and it covered two
acres"
Silence followed this recital, during
which the offended Englishman left
the table. The host followed. After
returning he said to the Scotchman:
"Sir, you have insulted my friend.
You must apologize"
Il dinna insoolt him" said the Scot.
"Yes, you did, with your two-acre
fish story. You must apologize"
"Well," said the offender slowly,
with the air of one making a great
concession, 'tell him II he will take
ten feet off that tiger I will see what
l can do with the fish,"

CHAMBERS.

Owing to the large number Of horses
being constantly brought. into the
State from St. Louis and other North.
ern cities, that scourge of horse flesh,
CHAMBERS, which is always coextensive
with the traffic or horses, it being
spread over Mississippi with alarming
rapidity. Until the last two years
CHAMBERS had been rare in the State
for several years, but recently out
breaks OF more or less magnitude
have occurred in Noxubee, Holmes,
Yazoo and SunAOwer counties. These
outbreaks always result in great loss
to a section, not alone from the ami
mails that die, but from the scarce and
consequent interference with tfans
which always occurs. Our people arc
very deficient in knowledge regarding
the true nature OF the disease, The
general IMPRESSION Is that the disease
is highly contagious and that well
horses coming in contact with a dis.
eased one are almost certain TO con-
tract the disease. This is not So, Is
the disease Is not readily commuut
Gated except by actual contact. Again,
the general impression is that a horse
diseased with CHAMBERS is likely TO die
within a week or two at most. This
is also a mistake, as a large number
Of cases assume a chronic form ana
the animals go on and do regular work
and keep in fair condition. 1t is just
this sort of cases that constitute the
chief danger from CHAMBERS. Tney
are extremely difficult to positively
diagnose and may spread the disease
broadcast and remain unsuspected'
Our laws are also very deficient 'F

their stock the Alabama crowd took
down State street in the direction OF
Rankin county and the Mississippi
crowd took up State street. A reporter
asked the Mississippi crowd their
destination. They said they were
going to their old home in Webster
county and were from Henderson
county, one year ago this month In
order to better their conditions, but
instead of this they made it worse,
and by reason of the prolonged drouth
they made no crop to speak of. They
said that they left good homes in
Webster county where they always
made a good crop. They say that
Texas is not near a good a State as
Mississippi and when they get back to
old Webster county they propose to
stay there. They said that between
now and January, many Mississippi
people now IN Texas would return to
this State. When they reached here
they had been on the road twenty-Ont

CATsUP. How IT Cor ITS NAME

from the Roanoke IN. c. News:
Many Weldon ladies make tomato
catsup, and for the benefit of those
who do not already know we here give
the origin of the word, which was dis
covered through the accidental use Of
the wrong condiments.
A manufacturer Of sweet preserves
allowed a new attendant to season a
large kettle of tomato preserves and
returned to see II the compound had
been seasoned sufficiently. Upon test.
ing the mixture he found that it was
not as it should be, and in grieving
tones exclaimed:

The kettle was put to one side, and
when its contents were tasted again
to see what was wrong, the mixture
was found TO be toothsome and good
on meats. So It was readily called
catsup.

THE OUTLOOK.

St. Louis Republic.
The flower of consolation in the
nettle of Democratic defeat is the
fact that the Republicans will have to
deal with their legislative botches and
the troubles of the country.
In his tcrsc way Matt Quay summed
up the situation when he wired Vice
troubles are just beginning"
In the first place, Major Mckinley
is confronted with the practical GER
tainty of a hostile majority in the
Senate. AS the Republic predicted,
there will be a small but effective free
silver majority in the Senate for two
years, at least, which will be power
less for legislation, but powerful for
veto purposes.
For two years, therefore, II the sill.
yer Republican Senators hold to Their
expressed resolution not to permit
Republican legislation without con
.cessions to silver coinage, the way OF
legislation will be blocked for Major
Mckinley. 1t is highly probable thai
it will be blocked during his entire
administration.
Even with a favorable majority ii
both branches Of Congress, the line.
of the President elect wul be laid il
rough places. He has a team of wilt
horses in the elements back OF him
The tariff barons who staked his can
didacy are greedy for new fayors. The
representatives of combine interests
who gave influence and money to elect
him expect to be rewarded.

THE OLD LADY KNEW IT ALL.

A traveller once put up for the night
with a supplemented old couple In a
lonely farm house. As he rode up to
the door he heard the old woman say,
in a tone OF deep conviction:
There! l knowed somebody'd come
before night, for l dropped my fork on
the floor this morning and it stuck
straight up. Then dropped my dish
cloth at noon, another sure sign OF
company"
In entering the house the visitor
carelessly struck his foot against the
step, and came near falling.
"Ahm said the old lady, quickly,
(which toe did you stub, the right or
the left?"
''The right" was the reply.
''That's good it's a sure sign you're
going where you are wanted. Pa, shoe
that rooster off the fence. II he crows
there. it will rain before morning."
A young woman was washing on a
porch back Of the house, and the old
lady cried out:
There, there, Susan, il you haven't
splashed soapsuds all over the front OF
your dress. And il you don't get a
drunken husband for it, I'm wonder.
fully mistaken, I've known that sign
to come true often and often. But
you can keep it from coming true by
hanging all of the clothes on the lines
wrongside out, and you'd better do it.
So Susan did; as the traveller noticed,
to his great amusement.

What Ticket is 1t?

The Populist papers clam that the
mongrei ticket headed by Grand-Dadd,
Pharr is of their own making, and the,
head it THE Peoples Party Ticket
The New Orleans Republican and the
Sugar Belt indicator, Capt. Pbarr's
own paper, which is the ayowed organ OF
the Sugar Teat Republicans, flies the
same ticket and head it "The Republican
Ticket" Now, Capt. Pharr holds the
money bags, and, like Jones, '.he pays
the freight" and ought to know what
sort of a ticket he wanted that commit
tee to manufacture; so. from his stand
point, the ticket is Sugar Teat ticket.
The dickering leaders of the Pops, ON
the other hand, claim that they have
"hogged" all the chicken pie, therefore
it is their ticket. Opposed to. these
claims are the regular or National Re-
publicans, who refuse to stand by COM
pact made with an insignificant little set
of jobbers, who only wish to use them to
ride into power. Then there are the
Populists who lay claim to honesty of
purpose and integrity of their party prin-
ciples, who despise the trade and en-
tangling alliance the bosses seek to i'm
pose upon them, because they know it
will weaken their party and destroy its
identity. With. both Republicans and
Populists repudiating the combine, the
question naturally arises, "What is it?'
We would like very mnch to have the
Populist papers explain some of their
as to what it is.
