New Orleans, March 20-The
Alabama coal operators have eff
fccted a deal with the Southern
railway to cover the immense coal
market among the Mississippi
sugar plantations south of Green
vile heretofore occupied by the
Pennsylvania operators. This
trade takes about 1900, 900 tons
annually, most of which has been
shipped from Pittsburg by river.
The deal includes freight rates
from Birmingham to Greenville
low enough to enable Alabama to
meet the Pennsylvania all-water
route prices, a fleet of barges to
transport the coal from Green
vile south and ample tipples at
Greenville which the Southern
railroad will provide.

The Echo apologies to its readers
for assuring them in its last issue
that a new capitol building was a
surety. The bill appropriating $780,
900 passed the house aud the CON
census Of opinion was that IL would
also pass the senate and then receive
the immediate approval Of the gov
ernor. But things did not come to
pass as anticipated. The senate and
house agreed on q misunderstanding
and the result is Mississippi will have
to endure its ruined relic Of antiquity
for some time to come.

JOHN q. CABLISLE.

The Echo gladly notes that the
eminent qualities Of John g. Carlisle
are meeting with recognition by The
American people. That be Is a great
man and that he would perpeluate,
IL elected TO the presidency, the
sound money policy Of The present
administration is beyond dispute,
a fact which should give him the un-
divided support of true democracy.
MIR. Carlisle has served his party
with that unswervlng fidelity which
belongs TO the great only; his views
on the political issues which today
confront the nation are sound, and
bis inHexible convictions should en-
dear him to lovers of good govern
ment.
The fact that he is a Southerner
must in nowise conflict with his cam
didacy. The two great sections are
indissolubIy joined, aud when the
selection Of ruler presents itself
the two should work in accord and
thereby select the best material avail
able TO insure safe management Of
oar affairs.

Frederick, Md, March 16-A
young couple from the country,
who came here to be married
Saturday, had an unsual ex-
perience while in the presence of
the minister, resulting from the
effort of the groom to wear tooth
pick shoes. In the midst of the
ceremony he suddenly reeled and
fell to the floor in a deadfaint,
the circulation of his blood hav-
ing been interrupted by the nm
usual shape and tightness of his
gaudy footgear. The anxious
bride quickly stopped down and
pulled off one of his shoes, while
tho minister removed the other.
The ceremony was then proceed
ed with, and at its conclusion the
minister loaned the young Bene-
dict q pair of his own shoes of
ample dimensions to go home in.

REMEDY TIE EYIL.

Fiat money advocates find their
strongest arguments fer unlimited is
sues OF greenbaeks in :he alleged
fact hat by printing paper promises
to pay the government gets the use
of hundreds of millions of dollars for
nothing. 1t is this belief that money
can be had for the more cost OF print
ing it which gives populism lts hold
on the farmers and leaders otherwise
intelligent citizens to oppose the re-
tirement Of the ereenbacks.
II is true that the government now
gets the use Of s34G,ooO,000 in
greenbacks without paying interest
on them, but it loses interest on the
$l0o.00o.000 gold reserve kept in
the treasury to rsdeew those notes
on demand, even the seeming gain is
not 80 large as is claimed by the fat
lists. In reality there is no gain at
all, for the issue Of greenbacks is
simply loan without interest forced
from the people by the government !.
What IS gained by the borrower is
lost 70 the owners Of capital who
would have received interest on their
loan II the government had not arbi-
trariiy issued its promise to pay.
There is no financial Juggling by
which something can be made out of
nothing. II tie owners of capital are
justly entitled to receive interest on
their loans, the government should
not take from them the opportunity
TO loan the amount represented by
the greenbacks. 1t Is evident that
by borrowing without paying intercs
the government is depriving some
persons OF return on their capital,
Socialists who believe in destroying
interest can consistently favor a pol.
icy which borrows without any re.
turn. But all believers in the rights
Of property should oppose what i:
practically the robbery Of property
owners by the government.

A Supposed Dead Husband Returns.
Sedalia, Mo, March 19-Nearly
sixteen years ago George III. Hat
field left Sedalia for Kansas City.
The next day the remains of a
man mangled were found on the
Missouri Pacific track three miles
west of Sedalia, and at the coro-
ner's inquest were believed to be
those of Hatfield. The body was
buried and for seven years Mrs.
Hatfield saw to it that the little
mound in the cemetery was not
neglected. At the expiration of
that time she was wooed and won
by w. III. Barnhart, who is en-
gagged in the coal business here.
To-day, however, the supposed
dead man materialized in Sedalia.
He has been in California ever
since his departure, and had new
er communicated with relatives OF
friends. He expressed surprise
at his wife's marriage, but left
this afternoon for Syracuse with
out calling, and it is believed
he will not interfere with the dom.

! family.

REPRESENT MISSISSIPPI.

A"lIA n" "AhSDAtA HADOfONIx 4.
In view of the recent conyen-
ton held In Chicago TO arrange
prelimiDaries for Southern States
Exposition to be held in that city In
the near future, Governor McLaurin
has issued proclamation which We
in part reproduce:
II is my desire that Mississippi
should not forego this splendid OPP
portunity offered Of showing the
world our matchless resources and
attractions.
therefore deem it wise and in
cumbent on our State pride and
splendid citizenship TO move in this
matter, as all others are doing, es-
pecially Seaboard States and those
north Of us. The Southwestern
States are sure to provide displays,
and we will fail Of manifest duty
to ourselves, and treat indlfferently
generous offer from q great city to
honor and serve us, IL we do not re-
spond TO tue opportunity presented.
Feeling as / do in relation TO this
matter, and at the instance OF many
patriotic and progressive citizens, /
therefore suggest the 28 day Of March
1896. as day for the assembling of
convention in this city Of delegates
to be appointed by the citizens Of tile
various counties OF The State, which
can take such preliminary steps as
may be proper and needful in the
premises. A. j. McLAURN,
Governor.
The Echo heartily commends the
above to those Mississippians which
have the interest of their state at
heart, for the time has come for Mis-
sisslppi 70 place her possibilities be-
fore the world, and in no way can
she better do this than by placing
her vast resources where they can
attract the attention OF strangers.
People from the north and west
are now looking southwark, but ow-
ing TO the imperturbable silence Mis-
issippi holds about her resources
these people naturally feel somc
hesitancy in leaving their locality,
where they always manage to make
a living, for land they practically
know nothing Of.
The south is the bonanza Of Amer
lea. Let this fact, and that missile

LEGISLATURE ADJOURN $.

LEGfSLAIOhE HDJOUHAS.
After two months Of consultation,
discussion, consideration and general
attention the state Legislature has
finally succeeded in accomplishing a
deed, which shall ever stand to its
credit. II adjourned yesterday. May
its failure to accomplish sny good
live as warning to the people when
the time comes TO elect another such
body.
Over one thousand bills were in
troduced, Of which number several
became law, and whose existence can
serve no purpose IN betteriDg the
state or people.
The free silver agitation was the
cause of Mississippi electiug Legis-
lature blindly, and we should like to
know whate the state has gained by
1t. But The Echo viii not chide the
state for its error. We hope the les
son lthas been taught Will be uused
as a guide 10 the future.

much disappointment caused
thereby throughout the state, but
good hope is found in the fact
that Governor McLaurin, who is
in favor of new building, said

to call a spscial session by June to

action, and further said he felt
confident that a million dollars

everyone recognized "damnable

talk he declared that it was so hot

would stop talking or take off his
coat. The audience yelled to him
to take off his coat and 60 ahead.
He accordingly threw it off and

TILLMAN'S PITCHFORR.

The Foddershock rankles in gore to-day.
The Pumpkin is up in arms,
The Corncob's out in martial array,
Iheres crop OF wars alarms
And here and there
And everywhere,
There's gallons Of blood
Mixed up with mud;
And Tillman is loose with his
pitchfork.
The tyrants s collar is fixed on the neck
Or the honest farmer man,
Whose home is nineteen-twentieths
wreck,
And he is under the ban
OF the demon gold,
All yellow and cold,
With it's greedy hands
Clutched hard on his lands;
And Tillman is loose with his
pitchfork.
The rural rooster is waiting his chance.
In the meantime he must beg
His poor and frugal sustenance,
And then he will lay an egg
or dynamite
On the tyrant's right,
To blow it through
To hellaballoo;
And Tillman is loose with his
pitchfork.
He wants their cider turned to cham
payne,
Their bacon to terrapin;
Their bread shall be pie their losses all
gain,
And 16 to their ten,
Above or below,
They haven't show,
But, by the gods,
THEY'LL conquer the odds,
If TiIlman is loose with his pitch
fork.
He pitched the President over the fence,
He prodded Carlisle In manner intense,
He forked the innocent millionaire,
He prodded the Wall Street yellow air,
He jabbed the Senators full Of holes,
He poked his tines into the souls
OF staid decorum, usage long
Observed by those who can do no wrong {;
He punched the goldbug in the bark,
He forked Sic Semper through the slack :;
For Tillman was loose with his
pitchfork,
Cyclopean Terror Tillman,
A statesman from the South;
A raw and ready statesman,
With wild and woolly mouth.
