Moss Point, Miss. is in one of the
most peculiar situations in which a flour
fishing town was ever placed. 1t has
popula tion Setween four and five thou
sand and is unIncorporated. II has as
its chief officer only a justice of the
peace, and for police service, one lone
conStah Tie. The fact that il is still unncor-
porated as not the fault of the citizens
OF Moss Poiut, however. They have tried
time and again TO be Incorporated, but,
according TO The attorney general, it
can't he done. The section of the statutes
1921 which deals with the subject of
Incorporation only provides for the in
corporation of villages, and not word
is said about towns and cities. Now
llage is Wei defined in section 29I1 Of
the statute and il must not contain over
500 souls Moss Point has 5000 more or
less, and ca mot be classed as a village. 1t
Is city AMI no provision is made for its
Incorporation. A bill was passed last term
refnedying this omission in the statute, but
1t got lost, somehow. NJ. A. Dees, repre-
sentative from that county, Will present
another one soon with the same object
Moss Point is the largest unincorporated
municipality in Mississippi, and probably
IN the Unit ID States.

have made a very profound impression
upon my mind. He is my favorite.
American literature has helped me
more than any other. Perhaps you are
suffering now from the reaction which
came after the race of poets of the
anti-slavery agitation had passed, just
as in England we have had a reaction
from the great poets,bf the Tennyson
type. But We are getting over that.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4,1s9s.


Lord Salisbury denies with scOrn that
he has backed down before Russia. lie
declares that impossible because he had
never backed up. 1t is a mistake to
think that he said Talienwan must be
an open port. He only said how nice
that would be. He does not believe
that Russia win fight. In short, the
wild attacks of the Tory press have
smoked the marquis out, and compelled
him 10 make a little show OF courage.

troops have arrived AT Kirin, southwest
of Nladivostock, on the road to Port
Arthur. That does not look much like
abandoning the enterprise. Lord Sal

will he get out of this when it appears
that the Car has sat himself down

Another important step has been
made in connection with Hawaiian an
nexation. An agreement has been
reached between the State Depart
ment and the japanese legation that.
after annexation. japanese residents
of the Hawaiian islands are to be &C
corded all the rights now enjoyed by
Japanese in this country, or by the
subjects or citizens OF the most favor
Cd nation. Upon this understanding
Japan withdraws her objections to an
neNation. and Mr.. Mckinley and the
Mikado are once more upon speaking
terms. The prospects for the treaty
in the Senate grow brighter every day.
The necessary tWo-tEirds majority is
i'm sight and safe, but a number of the
Senators who compose il are showing
a disposition To- postpone action until
Mr. Mckinley recognizes the beliger-
ency of the Cuban Republic. Ii is plain
that he viii not do this unless forced
to, and there are more than a few SEN
ators who think the time has come to
insist upon the performance of SO nat
ural and imperative duty. We ara
not sure that it is necessary to use
the Hawaiian treaty as such a club.
The diplomatic and consular bill would
bring him to book, and all the appro-
priatiOn bills might be postponed I'M

crisis is coming in Congress very
quickly, and almost as certainly as the
