BRYAN EXPLAINS PROSPERITY.

The st. Louis Post Dispatch OF the
9TH inst. printed a letter from Hon.
W. }. Bryan, the first utterance after
three months of travel and observa-
ton during the return of prosperity.
Among other things he says:
"Wheat has risen because the for
eign crop has been exceedingly short.
The fact that silver and wheat
have parted company will cause no
dismay to those who understand that
the law Of supply and demand regu-
lates the price OF both.
Nothing can better disclose the
weakness OF the Republican position
than the JOY manifested by the Re-
.publicans over events for which their
administration and their politics arc
in no wise responsible.
"If the Republicans desire to claim
credit for the high price of wheat they
must assume the responsibility iOI
the famine in India.
"a great rise in price should be fol
lowed in a rise Of wages"
Mr.. Bryan says that the joy Ovel
the increase of money from wheat is
evident that we have too little money
that if the farmers are benefited by
the rise in one Of their products, how
much better would it be If the rise
was universal; that the price of wheat
will fall when the foreign demand be
comes normal, and that the present
spasmodic rise will aid rather thar
iniure the cause Of bimctalliSm.

PREACHING POLYGAMY.

lnasmuch as many of our readers
do not know the law OF Mississippi on
the subject Of preaching and teaching
polygamy, we take down the Code Of
1892 and quote in full the law bearing
directly on that nefarious and damna-
bic hersey and doctrine. Section 1857
Of the Code reads as follows:
III any person shall teach another
the doctrines, principles, or tenets, or
any of them, Of polygamy; or shall
endeavor so to do; Or shall induce or
persuade another by words or acts, or
otherwise, to embrace or adopt polyga-
my, to emigrate to any other State,
Territory, district, or country, for the
purpose of embracing, adopting, or
practicing polygamy, or shall endeayor
SO to do, he shall, on conviction, be
fined not less than 1926 nor more than
$500, or be imprisoned in the county
Jail not less than n month nor more
than six months, or BOTH"
The above law seems to us to be SC
plain that the wayfarer, though a fool,
can understand it, and we urge its
strict enforcement against all viola
tors whamsoever they may be, if found
in the State of Mississippi.

DEAL AND DUMB SCHOOL.

We are in receipt of a circular let
ter from Prof. j. r. Dobyns, supcrin-
tendcnt of the State Institute for the
education of the deaf and dumb at
jackson, which reads as follows:
There are many deaf children scat
tered oyer Mississippi who are old
enough to be in school, but have
never been sent to this Institution,
where the State furnishes them,
practically free, an education equal
to what is given in common
schools, and gives each one a knowl-
edge of some trade by which he or she
can make "A living. Our school opens
Wednesday (the 6thl of October, and
the management would be glad TO re-
ceiyc all these children who are quail
fed for admission. In cases where
parents are unable to pay travelling
expenses and clothe their children,
the management OF the Institution
is authorized to do that, so there is nc
excuse for a deaf child in this State
growing up in ignorance"

The Philadelphi, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad Co. Is experiment.
ing with a view to adopting a special
ly predared oil as Il means to lay the
dust caused by its flyers. The expert
ment is being made on its line, where
the speed attained 10y the trains is
very high and the amount Of dust and
dirt is cor0espondingly great. The oil
is distributed along the rOadbed by
means Of a specially constructed car,
The ''spreader," as the a is known,
is a comparatively simple contrivance,
and with gum hose aud pipes is con-
nected to an ordinary oil tank car I'LL
ed with the Oil, the spreading of the
oil over the rOadbed being done at the
rate OF about four miles an hour,
While this is the first experiment on
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad between Balti-
more and Washington, the use of oil
to destroy the nuisance caused by dust
and dirt has been undergoing a test on
the Pennsylvania lines running to the
New Jersey Seashore, where the dust
causes great annoyance, and it is
stated that the results are highly
satisfactory. The %spreadcr is So con
structed that not a praticle Of oil falls
on the rails. This, Of course, must be
the case, as it would be impossible for
d locomotive to haul its train were the
rails covered with oil. Between 1900
and 5000 gallons Of oil is required per
mile of double track, and it is claimed
that one application will allay the
dust and dirt for a year. Should the
experiment prove satisfactory, the
tracks may be sprinkled from New
York to Washington.

A MIsTRIAL.

The EAST of the State against some
Is prominent citizens OF Escatawpa
for tearing down the Gospel tent OF
n religious denomination known as
Latter Day Saints, came up for trial
last Monday afternoon at 3 O'Clock,
before Judge G. f. Chidsey and Mayor
w. W. Farnsworlh. AS o0n as the
defendants were arraigned their coun-
sci. Messrs. G. II. Wood, Ford 4 Ford
and Denny & Woods filed a demurrer
TO the Indictment, which was over
ruled. A jury was demanded by the
defendants, which was granted and
the trial then proceeded.
Gen. II. S. Ford, one Of the lawyers
for the defense, offered to introduce
evidence to show that the prosecutors
were polygamist. The court very
properly refused to entertain such
a proposition, saying that if the Lat
ter Day Saints were teaching and
practicing murder, incest, polygamy,
or any other crime, the court was
ready to try and punish them, but
knew no law that authorized the de-
fendats to constitute themselves
judges and jurors.
After hearing the arguments of Mr..
r. L. Billiard for the prosecution, and
Mr.. w. r. Woods and Gen. Thos. S.
Ford for the defense, the jury retired
and renamed out for about two hours
without agreeing to a verdict, as the
following shows: 1--WE, the jury can
not agree upon Il verdict" Whereup
on the jury was discharged, and thu
case set for rehearing on Saturday
September 18th.
We forbear comment until the cas-,
has been settled by the court,

THE YELLOW FEVER SCARE.

For the plst few days there has
been considerable uneasiness among
M people in regard to the rumors Of
the appearance of yellow fever in
Scranton, and which added to increase
the panic in Mobile and New Orleans.
Instituted strict quarantine measures
against our town.
For the past four weeks our local
physicians, Drs. Ford and Kell, have
treated about twenty-five cases OF
dengue fever, but no deaths have re-
suited therefrom. None of the cases
treated, or new, or now under treat
ment, Lave any yellow fever symp-
toms.
No cases OF fever OF any kind at
Moss Point, ~Pascagoula or West Pas
cagoula. A strict quarantine is en-
forced against Ocean Springs and
Biloxi.
The few cases of denyue now in
Scranton are conyalescing and the
houses are strictly guarded; no one be-
ing allowed to enter or go out, except
the doctors. The local health au-
th0ritics are using all the means in
their power to prevent the spread OF
the disease.
In our opinion, there has not been
even a case OF fever here which has
developed any symptoms Of yellow
fever. All summer we have had few
ers, which yielded to treatment and
not a single case proved fatal. Mr..
Arthur l.. Moore was confined to his
bed with fever for over six weeks, and
is up and well to-day. In the same
house where he was i'll, previous tC
his sickness, there were three or foul
cases, all Of which got we'll.
We are not afraid of yellow fever
as VIC have before announced; hav,
had considerable experience in nurs
ing and treating it, and If it does APP
pear here, we will remain at our pos
and send forth the "Old reliable" ever,
week to enlighten and instruct it
many Thousand readers. And if "
thought there vas a single suspicion
case of fever in Scranton, We woul
not for a moment hesitate to proclaim
it to the world, and advise all VIII
desired, to get away as 0 a
possible. This was the course we pul
= sued in 1878, and we now promise on
people to not suppress or deceiv
them on the subject of the prevailin
malady, il it should turn out to b
the yellow fever.

The survivors of Gen. Forests COM
mand will hold a reunion in Memphis

three hundred Of the command are
now living in the Bluff City, 1t has
been a matter of surprise to us that
Tennessee has failed to erect a monu-
ment to her great cavalry leader, Gen.
Forrest. New Orleans is called the
city of monuments, and We presume
ere long the people and the Times
Democrat of the Crescent City will
bcstir themselves to that end, and a
monument will soon be erected to the
memory Of the intrepid Tennessee

1t is said that President Mckinley
is being urged to convene Congress
in another special session on the first
of October, for the purpose Of taking
necessary steps to bring about the
annexation of Hawaii to the United

not spoil by waiting until the next
regular session of Congress, and ii is
to be hoped that Mark Hanna will
forbid Mckinley calling an extra ses-
sion thereof. OF course, whatever
Mark says goes with Mack.

At Il meeting on the Sd inst, at
Houston, Texas, OF lumber manufac-
turers Of Texas and Louisiana the list
of yellow pine was advanced 81 all
round. This is following in the wake
of the white pine men of the Missis.
sippi Valley. The advance is said 10
be on account of the large demand
and the supply not being equal to it.
There is Il larger demand for lumber
this year than usual, and the export
from Southern ports has been the
largest ever known.
