MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
srl.si..lppu Cattle For Cuba.

According to the National Live Stock
Journal of st. Louis Mississippi has
shipped up to date to the st. Louis
market 1857 carloads of cattle. II Is
estimated that cattle shipments for the
season of 1898 up TO the present time
amount to fully s1,ooo,oo to all mar
kets. Recently many Cuban buyers
have been in the State buying cattle
for shipment to the island. A large
shipment was made from Brandon re-
Gently and another one from McComb
City. The latter shipment was about
GOO head, consigned to Cienfuegos.
Mississippi cattle are much in demand
in Cuba, as they stand the climate adj
mirably, while cattle from northern
ATTITUDES invariably die of the acclima-
ton fever. The opening of the Cuban
market is an offset to the recent pro-
hibitory quarantine rule passed agains;
Southern cattle by the Northern and
Western markets.

Aldrich is Frye, of Maine. Mr.. Frye is
a vigorous, conservative, sound-think-
irg man. He is good parliamentarian,
is president pro tempore of the senate,
and makes most excellent presiding
officer. His decisions are clear. prompt
and impartial.
There are several men in the senate
who talk little, but who, figuratively
speaking, saw lots of wood. Among
these are Jones, of Nevada. and Proc
tor, of Vermont. Senator Jones speaks
less on the floor of the senate than al
most any other senator. Some OF his
silver speeches. however. show the
work of a profound scholar. Senator
Proctor is a quiet. earnest worker.
Senator Proctor's colleague. Mr.. Nor
rill, is an able. clear-headed. high-mind-
cd gentleman. whose intellect is still
keen and vigorous, after his AZ years OF
congressional service.
There is one man in the senate who
has been lifelong republican, who
now strictly belongs to no party, and
yet who has very great influence IN all
parties. This is Senator Teller. Sim
cere and earnest as man can be. hard
working. practical. and with his whole
heart and life in the fight for what he

Senator. Teller. When he speaks III the
