The last issue of that influential
paper, the Marine Journal, has pub
lished an interesting article on the
subject Of Pascagoula's commerce,
present und future. Owing to the
wide publicity which will be given to
the article in question, coming as II
does from such trustworthy source,
We beg 10 correct an important typo
graphical error contained therein.
The exports Of lumber for tile past
year were given as 1,04l, 1852 superficial
feet, whereas the figures to he correct
should have been l3l, 1873, ,456 feet. The
British steamship Strathgyle alone
took away three million and odd feet
of lumber at one cargo, and other
vessels were not far behind. Pascal
goula is undoubtedly destined 10 take
a place Ia the front rank OF lumber
exporting ports Of this country.

We extend hearty greetings to our
new, but able contemporary, the b.
loxi Review, which made its first ap-
pcarance on Saturday, July 25th. The
editor, Mr.. II. S. Evans, whose elo-
qucnt, facile and vigorous pen erst-
while graced the columns Of the Biloxi
Herald Is too wcll-known to need any
enconiums at Our hands. Under his
management, the Review will easily
take front rank among the journals
of Mississippi. While protesting
Democratic principles, it leaves It's
readers in the dark as to whether it
will support the Chicago ticket We
wish the new candidate for public
favor q long and useful career.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindealcr,
printed ia McKinleys State has this
estimate OF Bryan: Young, able, elo-
quent, aggressive, strong in his con-
victions and fearless in expressing
them, William Jennings Bryan is a
typical representative of the great
central west, where they grow men
and ideas rs well as corn and wheat.
The youngest man ever nominated for
the presidency, he has already given
conclusive evidence of powers that
inspire confidence in his filling the
position with ability and good judg.

The West Point Forum, which Is cd
tied by northern man, and who is
always laboring in the interest of his
adopted land, has the following timely
suggestion:
A heated presidential campaign
should not cause our people to forget
tleir lest interest, the development Of
the South. 1t is Il common thing for
most persons to forget all else but pO-
litical issues and conditions at such
periods, follow the band and throw up
their hats for their favorite. We
heartily approve OF everybody being
patriotic. But we should not neglect
to look after new settlers, search for
new factories and help develop the
country in Il way so that when the ex-
citement is over we may have some
thing to fall back upon for our bread
and butter. We should not neglect the
right and privilege to vote our scnti-
ment. but Cont lets get sucked under
into the whirlpool. Let's look after
the industrial mid-south.

The great drawback tu truck-farm-
ing in this State is the enormous rates
charged for transportation. A truck
farmer at Crystal Springs says Of his
gross receipts for vegetables Of ~, 800;
The railroad company got 81 200 which
was $40 per acre for his products. II
he had planted the same land in cot
ton the railroad company would have
received 50 per acre for the transpor-
tation. There is no industry that
can stand such drainage and must

GETTING READY TO FLOP.

The New York World, published
right in the shadow of Wall streets
great money centers, b0lted the n0mi-
nation of Bryan and Scwall, but now
1t seems evident that is is preparing
the way for a flop 10 the Democratic
ticket, inasmueh us IT is forced to tell
the truth Here is what the World
said in recent issue:
The Stock Exchange has no Bryan,
so far as is known, but on Saturday it
worked itself into qui,ca Il fair imita-
tion Of the Chicago Convention hys-
terics. One of the members franti-
cally waved an American ilag, and
there was great uutcry and uprOar
against Bryan and Populism." The
tuEiult ended with the organizal ion
Of bankers and Brokers Mckin-
ley Campaign Club" consisting OF
Democrats and Republicans.
The men may mean well, but they
don't IN to know that any demon
stration which they make is not cal
culated to help the Republican ticket.
L ivy VuShS w nave lNNNlNtu q NtibiS
hint from st. Louis and TO have learn
ed for certain from Chicago that any
thing which wall Street" wants is
quite sure to be hotly opposed by i'm
mense bodies of voters in other parts
OF the country.
Nor is this feeling without reason
Many OF the wrongs and grievances
complained OF by the voters who sent
the twO-thirds majority to the Chicago
Convention are real and just. While
not upholding the remedy they pro-
pose we have never for IL moment lost
sight 0f the fact that their grievance
is great and their complaint in some
part well founded.
1t is the cuncrete and combined
power for which wall Street" is the
symbol in the popular mind that has
made a monopoly Of transportation,
that has brought all the great prime
neccSSares Of lifc-iron, steel, coal,
oil, beef, sugar and hundred others
under the control of trusts and COM
binatlons that Cypress labor at one
end and rob consumers at the other.
Its wall Street" that has depleted
the Treasury of gold and cXacted
uSuriOuS millions from the Govern
ment in forced bond sales to protect
its credit"
Jt is you gentlemen Of the gambling
exchanges, manipulators OF mnney
corners, organizers of swindling
trusts, wreckcrs OF railroads, shear
crs Of ''lambs," tax dodgers and
absorbers OF money that you never
earned, who have done more than all
the ignorant blundering at Washing
ton and all the demagogy at the South
and West to raise the Spectre of An
archy and Popuism" at which you
now stand afrrightcd.
