HARD TIMES AT TUPELO.

Representative Allen, Of Mississippi, in a
speech on Saturday denying that prosperity
has returned, said he had not met a man in
Tupelo who bore testimony to any an
preciable improvement in business Prob
ably the first impulse of most persons on
reading this statement will be to doubt the
existence Of such a place rs Tupeio, but
they would be mistaken. There is such a
place, and Mr.. Allen lives there 1t is in
Lee county. Mississippi The fact that it
appears in the United States postal guide
being printed in black-faced letters shows
that it is a money-order office the same as
Bippus, Birdseye, Disko, Haubstadt, Modoc.
Paragon and other money-order towns in
Indiana. Moreover. it is the county seat OF
Lee county, and has the commercial ad-
vantage Of being located, according to the
gazetteer, on Old Town creek and the Mo-
bile &, Ohio Railroad. 1t is only fifty miles
from Oxford, q city of more than 15OO pop
ulation. Tupelo itself, according to the
gazetteer, had a population of 1,OOS by the
census of 1880, which has probably increased
to LOO by this time, though some of the
colored citizens may have mysteriousy dis
appeared. Anyhow, Tupelo is a much larger
place than Guntown, in the same county.
and the town of Bog. also in Lee county.
has not even a money-order postoffice.
Tupelo has a bank and newspaper office.
The gazetteer does not make any mention
of blacksmith shop or saloons, but no
doubt they are there. So it will be seen
that Tupelo is quite city, from Missis-
sippi point of view. Being located at the
junction OF Old Town creek and a railroad.
one would think there would have been
some Improvement in business there, as
there has been everywhere throughout the
must know, says he has not heard a single
man there say there has been any appre-
ciable improvement in business. There
must be some reason for this. Perhaps the
city is handicapped by the lack of banking
facilities, or perhaps the business men are
away from home too much-possum hunt
ing or attending political barbecues, maybe.
But, luckily, Tupelo is not the United
States, and the rest of the country is ex-
periencing very decided Improvement in
business, as Mr.. Allen will discover if he
will visit any one of several thousand cities
and towns in the North. He ought not to
try to scare prosperity away by shaking
Tupelo in her face. Times may be hard
there now. but, in the spring, when the fish
begin to bite, the people will feel more en-
oo1fraCaJ

NO CAUSE FOR SURPRISE.

An exchange says that Senator Teller
should be ashamed of himself for the part
he has taken in pushing the Matthews res
olution through the Senate, SINCE if it were
his purpose to get an expression of that
body upon the independent free coinage of
silver, it would have been more manly to
have introduced a measure to that effect
and obtained direct vote.
This expression seems to be based upon
the assumption that Mr.. Teller is man of
rare Integrity and has always been gov
erned by conscientious scruples, because he
makes a parade of his Sunday observance
and extreme orthodoxy. and that this is his
first meanness. AS a matter of fact, there
is no more INSCRIPTIONS conspirator in
politics than is the sanctimonious Teller.
This fact has been recently recalled by the
ST. Louis Globe-Democrat in connection
with some reference to the defeat of Rep
resentative Hinrichsen as chairman of the
Democratic congressional committee. 1t is
now a well-known fact of political history
that Senator Teller, when he went as a
delegate to the last Republican national
convention, was the candidate selected by
the Democratic silver senator's except Mr..
Turpie, who was openly at least in favor
OF Governor Matthews 1t was part of
the plot conceived by Harris. Vest, Coke,
Jones and the other ex-Confederate silver
Democratic senators that Mr.. Teller should
go to the Republican national convention,
make the dramatic and hypocritical with
drawal which he did, to the end that he
might be made the Democratic silver can
