UNITY OF The DELTA.

Those people who insist that an
effort is being made to eliminate
the discussion of free silver from
the next State, county and beat
election in Mississippi know bet
ter. They know that the only
thing asked is that free silver be
not discussed to the exclusion of
everything else They know that
everything else was ignored in the
campaign for the nominations for
State, county and beat officers in
1898, and they must know, if they
know anything, that the State has
suffered from official inoompeten-
cy, drunkenness in high places.

silver, per Sc, is not to blame TOR

The above explanation may he
appropriate and eXpedient TO some
parts of the State, but in this dis
trict there is little or no DISPOSE
ton to subvert interests of press
ing importance to the discussion
of the financial issue. Indeed,
there is probably less diversity Of
feeling and a more harmonious
and unified sentiment in the Delta
than in any other portion of Mis-
sissippi. Individual convictions
on the conduct Of national affairs
are of course maintained with firm
mess and discussed with intelli-
gence. Our population is cosmo-
politan, and is drawn from the
four quarters of the earth but
! the peculiar natural conditions
of the Delta are such rs to
make the safety of its agricultural
interests first and foremost in the
consideration of all its citizens
save those few who live by the
upheayals of political change, the
warning of factions, and the petty
spoils they may snatch from par
tisan success.

SPAIN IS ALARMED.
There is Not a Ship in Her Navy
Fit for Service.

LONDON, Jan. 30-The "Correro,"
organ of the Carlists, discussing the
visit Of the United States battleship
Maine to Havana, expresses the belief
that the Spanish public is justifably
alarmed, adding: "As a fact, it is the
Government ieself which is seriously
alarmed, though every effort is made
to disguise it. In spite of the official
statement of that, Cervaras, the Admi-
raj of the fleet, on Tuesday last, at
conference with the Minister of Ma
rine, asserted that the recent evolutions
had demonstrated the perfected condi-
ton of the Spanish fleet, Admiral Ger
varas, in reality, reported that there
was not ship ready for service; that
the vessels not actually in drydock
ought to be there; that many Of the
boilers were defective, and that some
of the ships We're not yet armed, and
that most of the vessels require clean
ing. In view of the perfidy Of the
United States, it is not surprising that
such neglect and helplessness create
alarm
According to the same paper, great
Importance is attached to the confer
ence between NJ. Patenotre, the French
Minister to Spain, and Senior Gullon,
the Spanish Minister for Foreign At
fairs, who, it is said, discussed the ac-
ton Of the United States, as it is we'll
known that there is great alarm in
France at the course of events. The
fact that M. Patenotre is intimately
conversant with United States affairs,
lends additional Importance to the
matter"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The report

THAT DECISION.
1t Does Not Strike at the Anti
Debris Association.

Considerable has been published the
last few days concerning the effect of
recent decision of the Supreme Court
III a Yuba County case and its possible
effect on the Anti-Debris Association,
which is maintained by monthly appro-
prlatlons made by several counties. A
san francisco paper yesterday gave
the gist of the decision as follows:
"A. G. Irwin, one of the Supervisors
OF Yuba County, was appointed a COM
m1ttee to confer with appointees from
the counties Of Sutter, Sacramento, Co
lusa, Glenn, Tehama, Yolo and Solano,
whose duty it was to inves tigate into
the danger and damage arising from
deposits through hydra ulic mining to
the several counties. He entered upon
these duties and presented his item of
expenditures to the Supervisors, but
the District Attorney ordered it rejected
upon the ground that it was illegal.
The Supreme Court holds that this
contention is correct, saying .'the pow
er is not to be found in any statute, and
its assumption would quickly lose the
common consent if it should be held
that the boards could also provide for
compensating the services rendered
under such appointments
The Supreme Court holds that the
Supervisors could not pay the demand
of Mr.. Irwin; that If he attended a
meeting of the commission he did so as
any other citizen could, and as such
could not make his expenses a county
charge; that the statute provided what
the powers of Supervisor were, and
the duties he must transact, and that
in attending meeting, although COM
missioned by the Supervisors, no valid
contract for remuneration could be
made for the return of his expenses
"The County Government bill fixes
the salaries of Supervisors, and the SAL
ary fixed therein shall be in full of all
demands for services rendered to the
county Therefore, if Irwin attended
as Supervisor, he could not collect
for the cost Of his trip or his per diem.
''The question Of the right of a eoun-
ty to contribute to a fund as suggested
by the suit-protecting the county from
overfiow-was touched upon, and the
court held that, while the expenditure
was not strictly within the power Of
the Supervisors, the people could ap-
prove Of such a course, thus making
the action tacitly a legal one -

EVERYTHING TRANQUIL.
The Names Visit Increases Friend
ly Feeling

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The Her
aids" Washington correspondent tele-
graphs:
The Captain-G General has returned
my visit. Everything is tranquil I'm
doubtedly the effect of the Names Wis
it has been to increase the friendly
feeling toward the United States. No
restriction is now placed on officers of
the vessel with respect to going
ashore"
This in effect is the contents of a ca
blegram received at the Navy Depart
ment yesterday from Captain c. D.
Sigsbee. commanding the battleship
Maine, which is lying in the harhor OF
Havana.
The administration authorities were
prepared for this dispatch l learned
to-day that soon after the arrival of
the Maine in Havana Harbor Captain
Sigsbee cabled TO the department,
stating that the presence of the yes
sci has increased the favorable re-
gard felt for Americans by the Spanish
authorities in Cuba. Furthermore, he
has informed the department that he
and the officers under his command
have been treated with the greatest
cordiality. and that every courtesy that
could be desired had been extended to
them.
1t is felt by the authorities that the
moral effect of the Names visit has
been excellent, and WI benefit Ameri-
can interests. just as Captain Sigsbee's
dispatch indicates it has already done
to some extent.
With such good results following the
visit of the Maine TO Havana. the adj
nainistration officials say that the
jingoes Of the country and Congress
have no further ground for urging in
reference by the administration in the
Cuban question. 1t was said at the
Navy Department that it has not yet
