immigration RestrI :tlon.

The discussion and the vote in the
Senate on the immigration Bill shows
very clearly where the Republican
party stands in the matter Of iutelli-
gence and law and order The lead
ing men of the party have spoken out
clearly and vigorously in favor Of a
law which shall exclude from the
United States the ignorant, the de-
PRAYED and the unsatisfactory classes
which have, during the past few
years, made up such large proper
ton Of the immigration. The Repub
lican party, it will be remembered,
passed measure Of this kind during
the closing months Of President
Cleveland's term, and it was vetoed
by him. Now that there is Repnb-
lican President III the White House,
there is little doubt but that the
measure will become a law aud that
the world will be given to understand
that the party in control of affairs IN
the United States does not desire to
recruit the citizenship Of this nation
with ignorant and degraded men, and
is not willing to permit this class to
come into competition with intelli-
gent American citizens, or assist In
national affairs

BREAKFAST CEREALS.
They Contain Essential Elements For Per-

feet NOurtsh1Dent OF the BODY.
Cereals and fruits should form the
base of breakfast foods, writes Mrs.
S. r. Rorer on Breakfast Cereals and
Fruits in her cooking lesson in The
Ladies' Home Journal ''They will sup
port muscular action, preserve the heat
Of the body and strengthen the brain in
its nervous activity Whole or steel cut
oats and whole wheat, from which our
nineteenth century bread should be
made, contain the essential elements for
the perfect nourishment of the human
body. The great objection to cereal
foods is their difficulty Of digestion, not
from any fault of the foods, but, first,
from lack of time in cooking and, second,
from lack Of proper mastication. Raw
starches are indigestible The first step,
then, toward the digestion of starches
is over the fire. Each little cell must be
ruptured, and for this long and careful
cooking is required. The second step to
the digestion of starches is in the
mouth. They are there converted from
the insoluble starch to soluble sugar
If they are swallowed quickly, without
mastication, they miss this digestion,
entering the stomach as strangers. This
organ not being prepared to receive
them, they are cast out into the small
intestines to be entirely instead of part
ly digested. This organ, now compelled
to do, in addition to its own duties, the
work of the mouth, soon becomes over
taxed, and we have, as result, the
disease most common i'll this country
intestinal indigestion
''Of the breakfast cereals steel cut
oats head the list. Any Of the wheat
germ preparations are good. After these
come the rolled wheat and barley and
rice preparations. Ali these foods, how
ever, must be thoroughly cooked and
eaten without sugar.

-. .. OIARNES, TOIellldH'
Judge Powell then in a very i'm
pressive manner made the follow
ing remarks in the presence of the
grand jury and large crowd of
citizens:
GENTLEMEN OF TIE GRAND
JURY:-The court would be re-
creant to the duty that has de-
volved upon it and to it's own feel
ings did the court fail to say that
it believes that this grand jury, at
least, has done their whole duty
consclentiously, faithfully and fear,
lessly. Thank God, Copiah Coun-
ty has not entirely gone to the bad,
when we can assemble from her
citizens body of honest men
such as | believe this grand jury
to be. God in his own good provi-
dence will bring us out OF this
thing after a while.
1t is passing strange to me, gen
tlemen, as you said in your report,
that a cruel aud diabolical murder
could be committed right under
the sound of the church bells, right
in the sight of civilized people. in
the broad open daylight, in the
crowded streets of city, and men
be summoned from the highest 70
the lowest stations in life, men
from right along the highway
where the procession passed, and
yet not IA single man can be found
to identify a single individual who
participated in that mob. Some.
body, gentlemen, has committed
cold-blOOded, willful perjury be
yOnd controversy of a doubt. l
am told that they had dust in their
eyes. Somebody, gentlemen, had
dust upon their consciences.
And yet they say that the courts
of the country are not doing their
duty and criminals go unwhipped
of justice, when the very men who
should be law abiding citizens, who
stand we'll in the community, will
come before the juries of the cOun-
try and perjure themselves, and
fail to tell the truth. Gentlemen,
the mob escapes, bat my God, they
have paid the penalty that should
make angels weep! Another thing,
gentlemen, that passes my COM
prehensiOn is that the sworn Off
cers of the law, the highest peace
officers in the county, who had
sworn to protect their prisoners
and to do their duty could have a
man taken away from them in the
broad open daylight, and yet not
strike a blow for the law, and fail
to recognize a single individual
who had taken away their prisoner.
That is the situation, gentlemen,
in COpiah county. God help them
| shall, gentlemen, record this re
port in full upon the minutes of
this court, as perpetual reminder
that the grand jury, the district
attorney and the court, at least,
have done their duty, and that the
people may judge hereafter whom
to trust. l thank you, gentlemen.
