AN AMENDMENT TO CIVIL SERVICE.
Again hope dawns that President Nc
Kinley will take decisive action to cure
some of the wrongs committed by
President CLEVELAND in the name of
Civil Service. I'VE are promised that
an order will be Issued sometime before
Thanksgiving YS 4 T. will take out about
5000 places fromitiae classified service.
About 1000 Of these are Deputy Col
lectors of Internal Revenue. Then
there are 4,100 Pension Examining
Surgeons, who. never had any place
in the Civil Service, as The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE has all along contended.
1t is understood that Secretary Bliss
accepted this view, as every man
must who looked into the law, but he
never could be brought to recommend it.
Then there are several hundred other
places-Deputy Marshals, etc.-which
We are promised shall be included.
The order will not go as far as it should,
but it will 60 great ways towards I'M
doing Cleveland's prostitution of Civil
Service when he made a raid on the
veterans of the rebellion and their
widows, and turned them out by the
thousands, in order to make places for
his henchmen.
Let us have the veterans who were
dismissed restored to their
places let us have the veterans given
the preference in appointment provided
by law, and then we shall have a
genuine Civil Service Reform.

Big Cotton Crop-Lou Prices.

The Treasury Departments statistics
show that the United States has quad
rupIed its cotton crop since 1872, and the
price has fallen to about one-fourth what
it was then. In 1872 the cotton crop of
the United States was 1854, 084, 494 pounds,
and the price 22.19 cents a pound. In
1898 the crop is 5,6a7, 372, 05f pounds, and
the average price 623 cents per pound
Other countries have somewhat increased
their production of cotton, but the United
States now produces IS per cent. OF the
cotton of the world, as against 20 pei
cent. in 1872.

The Shadow OF an East Tennessee Vendetta.
The long roll turned out to be occasioned
by the burning of Union Tennesean' IS
house by a squad of reveneeful guerri'las,
but the regiment had TO stay under arms
until party of cavalry went out and made
an investigation. The men stacked their
arms, and lay around on the ground to get
what sleep was possible, and which was a
good deal, for the night was pleasant. and
there are worse beds than the messy hillside
on July night.
Too bad that your weddin' night had to
be broken up so, said ST alphabetically, as
he and Shorty and the bridegroom sat to-
gether on a knoll and watched the distant
flames. But you needn'tve come with US
this time; nobody expected you to"
Why, Is'posed this WIZ part @ the reg

THE soldier-hating papers are prob
ably responsible for the idea that a good
many seem to have gotten that going to
war was merely embarking on pro-
longed, enjoyable picnic, with an easy,
well-fed, lazy time during the service,
and big pension at the end.

WE have repeatedly stated it in THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE, but many letters
advise us to state it again, that Internal
Revenue stamps are not needed on
pension afiidavits and other papers.
Remembering this will save the CON-
rades much trouble.

THE obstinacy" of the American
Peace Commissioners seems to be due to
an idea that it was our side which licked.
Probably they would not be so obsti.

It is undoubtedly a fact that our

robust sons and daughters, and did not
become weak, complaining invalids as
consequence.
There are probably several reasons for
this. One is, that they lived more in the
open air, and another, and probably the
most influential of ALL is that they were
less prudish than the women of to-day
They were not ashamed to know something
of their own physical makeup. They were
not too nice to take care of their health in
a womanly way. Women now days suf
fer untold tortures in silence, because of
weakness and disease of the distinctly
feminine organism, rather than consult a
physician, or even talk upon the subject to
their own husbands They imagine that
troubles of this description can only be
cured by undergoing the disgusting exam

Persons troubled with diarrh9a will
be interested in the experience of Mr..
w. M. Bush, clerk of Hotel Dorrance,
Providence, r. /. He says: "For sever
al years have been almost constant
sufferer from diarrh9a, the frequent
attacks completely Frustrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duties at this
hotel About two years ago travelling
salesman kindly gave me a small bottle
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy. Much to my sur
prise and delight its effects were i'm

this valuable remedy. The result has
been very satisfactory and almost com

The address was feelingly responded
to by Rev. E. L. Wesson, of Water

The Convention held second ses-
sion in the Baptist Church Thursday
afternoon. and then adjourned to meet
at Calisthenics Hall, which had been
courteously rendered for it's use by
President Chambers, of Whitworth
College.
THE LEADER cannot undertake in the
limited space available, to give a re
view of all the work done by the Con
vention, but will mention only that
regarded as of chief Importance.
First came the Whitsitt matter. The
Convention stood ready to re-affirn
the position taken last year, and give
no recognition to the claims of the
Southern Baptist Theological Semi
nary at Louisville, so long as DR..
Whitsitt remained at it's head or one
of its professors. When the Conven-
ton learned, however, on the second
day, that Dr. Whitsitt had severed his
connection with the Seminary, the 10y
atty of Mississippi Baptists to it was
reaffirmed.
The following resolution reiterates
the sentiment held by Baptists from
the beginning of their history in Amer
lea on the subject of religious liber-
ty 1t was introduced by Rev. J. II.
Whitfield, of Brandon, and unanimous
ly adopted
Resolved, That we, representing
104 900 Baptists, heartily join the South
ern Baptist Convention in requesting
ing the President of the United States
and all others who may take part
in adjusting the political affairs in the
Island of Cuba and other parts of the
world, that in said adjustment they use
every proper means to secure equal
religious rights to every inhabitant
thereof.
50 That our recording secretary be
hereby instructed to forward at the
earliest practicable moment copy of
this resolution to the President"
The paper question was found to be
one of absorbing interest, and on
Friday took form in the adoption of
the following reolution

to organize a joint stock company

crate one Baptist paper in Missis sippi
