MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME.

1t devolves upon the Legislature to
make I'D by hard work and steady ap-
plication the time it lost through the
dilat0ry tactics of the Republican
bosses in their plotting and scheming
to outwit the Democrats and steal the
United States Senator.
The revolutionists for two whole
weeks held the Senate completely dead
locked. Every day in that time they
no sooner met than they adjourned in
order to prevent the House, which had
promptly organized and begun the
work of the session, from notifying
them CT its readiness for business.
This ilibustering was done because
the reyOlutiOnists at that time had a
scheme to refuse to recognize the
House and to organize a separate rump
House of their own of the Republican
minority. But that scheme, like their
previous bold plan to file soldiers into
the House and seat a Republican ma
jority at the point of the bayonet, and
that other revolutionary plot to unseat
all the Democrats in the Senate by
resolution, went glimmering.
But the cold hard fact confronts the
people that two whole weeks at a cost
Of over $500 a day, or about $4,000 in
all, of the peoples money, were DELHI
GRO tp1u ond Ky nfOn1yr uyoctnI Nv, +Ioro
revolutionary tricksters simply in
playing their disreputable game of
revolutionary politics. 1t was an out
rageOus, scandalOus, wanton waste Of
one-third of the session and for none
but their own dishonest and selfish pur-
pose of reversing the will of the peo-
pie.
Doubtless an extra session will be
asked to cover the lost ground, but
the Democrats should set their faces
against any such proposition unless it
shall be absolutely necessary to carry
on the government. If needed legisla-
ton should go unattended 10, there will
he none to blame but these Republi-
Ear leaders who frittered away the first
part of the session in filibustering for
selfish and dishonest partisan advan-
tage.
The Democrats should not consent,
unless forced by the exigencies of the
government, to any expenditure of the
peoples money beyond the regular ex-
penses of the regular session.
In this, as in everything they have
done nus far at Charleston, the people
will uphold the Democratic members.
The consequences of delay as well as
the responsibility therefor will be laid
by the people at the right door.
ApICpos to recent events and others
transpiring throughout the country,
and in the event of failure of the pro-
posed reform of electing Senators by
vote of the people, how would it do to
put United States Scholarships up at
auction hereafter. knocking them down
20 the highest bidder and covering the
money into the State treasures? 1t
would at least be an Improvement on
the present arrangement whereby the
price is paid secretly into the pockets
OF a few meroenayy legislators who hold
the balance OF power. Besides, under
the new arrangement the full price
would always be paid for the prize,
which wouldn't go as it frequently does
for a mere song.

Because it did not guard against an
issue of gold bonds, though not call
ing specifically for gold, a bill author
izing a bond issue by the city of Mem
phis, Tennessee. was vetoed by Gov.
McMillin. Gov. McMillin is ex-Con-
gresham McMillin, and he knows how
this bond business works. Bonds of
the United States that plainly called
for coin and did not anywhere men
ton gold, were nevertheless held by a
goldbug administration to be gold
bonds, and with this precedent in view
Gov. McMillin has evidently resolved
that the city OF Memphis shall not
with his consent, be liable to similar
bunco by goldbugs in the future.

HOLD YOUR COTTON.

Galveston News.
Mr.. Robert COrbett returned from
his summer 0uling in England. "You
know | told you last summer when l
got back from England that the spin
ners were enjoying a very good trade.
Well, the trade now Is better than it
was at that time. l would like to own
a mill now. 1t is one of the best pay
ing businesses in England at the pres.
ent time. Trade all over England and
the far east is good. They in England
expect to see another big crop this sea-
son. They say in regard to prices
that they expect to see them 60 lower.
One of them told me just before l
left that II the American planter per-
sisting bumper crops he must suffer
the penalty of lower prices, and as
they expect big crop again they also
expect the prices to diminish. Liver
pool, though, is holding remarkably
firm with the immense stocks they
have and the ideas they entertain of
the coming crop. l know one thing
II the farmers rush their cotton to
market, there are going to be lower
prices. That was what they did last
year and that was the result"

THE PRIMARY ELECTION LAW;

There Is growing sentiment all
over the State in favor OF strengthen
ing the primary election law and en-.
forcing it as strictly as the act gov.
erning general elections. The es.
teemed Vicksburg Dispatch has this
to say on the subject:
When the Democratic Convention
meets In Jackson IL should certainly
pass resolution fixing the Qualiflca.
tion OF voters in the county primaries,
mass meetings aud conventions. The
prerequisite to taking part In Demo-
cratic primaries, mass meetings and
conventions should be the same In
every county, city and district In the
State.
1t is our opinion that no one should
be permitted to take part in the se-
lection Of Democratic candidates ex.
cept legally qualified white Demo:
Gratis. During this canvass this rule
has not been strictly observed by
either side, but the State Convention
should not let this opportunity pass
to require II Of every county In the
State.
Following that the Legislature
should amend the whole primary
system. AS it is now our primary
elections are equally as important, il
not more so, than the regular elect
ions, and they should be justly, care-
fully and wisely regulated by law.

GREAT LUMBER CONTRACT.
BRITISH GOVERNMENT AFTER 500, 900.
600 FEET OF YELLOW PINE.

Galveston, Texas, August lO.-Pri-
uate advices from London and New
York are that the British government
has contracted with the Lutcher and
Moore Lumber Company, limited, Of
Orange, Texas, for 100000, 900 feet Of
yellow pine.
Five hundred million feet OF lumber
would be the greatest order in the
history Of the world. 1t would take
all the mills in southeast Texas a
year to turn that much out, and it
would require nearly 500 good-sized
steamships to carry that amount of
lumber across the ocean. 1t would
mean great boon in. the yellow pine
lumber prices, and pronounced ad-
vance in ocean freights.
The idea here is that the lumber is
wanted for the new government rail.
road from the Nile to Cape Town.
The mills are already crowded with
orders, and, il this new business is
placed, the Southern lumber country
will have a period of unexampled
prosperity.

1t is related that Ingersoll once got
a thorough throw-down from the late
Washington Mclean, father of John
R.McLean. One terribly snowy, sleety
day in Washington, Mclean was sit
ting in the Riggs House reading room
looking out upon the dreary scene on
Pennsylvania avenue, Presently In
came IngersOll. AS he entered the
apartment he held out his hand, say
ing:
"Hello, Wash, how do you do?"
Mr.. Mclean took his hand, and a;
he did so said; "Bob, wish you coult
have been here a little while ago.
saw scene out there that made me
wish l was twenty years younger. A
poor old crippled soldier was lmpinQ
across the avenue when a young lusty
fellow ran by him, and as he did SC
kicked the crutch from under him
and tumbled him down into the
slush."
"The villianm said Ingersoll "He
should have been sent to the peniten-
tiary."
"Do you really think SOP" said Nc.
Lean.
"Why. certainly" responded the
Colonel. "What else could l Think"
"And yet, Bob. "said Mclean, that
is what you are doing every week in
the year. Here are poor, old, infrm
Christians, with nothing to aid or sup
port them but their belief in religion,
nothing to keep them out Of the mire
Of despair but faith, and yet you 60
about kicking the crutch from under
them worse than even this fictitious
fellow did to this fictitious soldier"

Redeemed to the roots of his scanty
hair and passed on without deighing
to reply.

THE RACE PROBLEM.

That able Southern journal, the
Nashville American, discussing tile
problem that confronts the South,
believes that no greater blessing
could befall the South than the clim-
iuation of the negro from political
life" The American saysi
No other people that we are aware
Of have had the condition to contend
with such as now cOnfronts the people
Of the South-an inferior race living
side by side with a superior, enjoying
political equality. Can any one, there's
fore, marvel at the problem" that
confronts the South? And after stu.
dying that problem can any one doutt
that the first step toward bettering
the condition which exists-we do not
say toward solving the problems, for
we do not know what a solution OF 10
would be-is to take from the negro
privilege which partially in ignorance
and in thoughtlessness OF the results
and partially in malice was bestowed
upon him by the victors In a long and
bloody contest.
We can, indeed, hardly conceive of
a greater blessing which Gould befall
the South than the elimination OF the
negro from political life. Eliminate
the negro and the parties 10 the South
would divide as they should upon
questions Of government, social and
economic questions, not those of race.
And as step toward this the igno.
rant negro should be constitutionally
dlsfranchised, as has been done In
Louisiana. But no sooner Is It done
than her representation in Congress
and in the electoral college is threat
ened. Thus are the efforts OF the
South to remedy its conditions aided
by the North.

the home merchant stands ready to
furnish the same goods for the same

customer sends in answer to an adver-

may be losing money by the deal he

TROUBLES THAT DO NOT CONE.

or the hard and weary loads
Meath which we bend and fall,
The troubles that do not come
Are the heaviest ones OF ALL
For grief that cuts like knife
There's oil Of comfort and cure,
And the Hand which binds the weight
Brings strength and grace to endure.
But to phantoms OF pain and woe
The lips OF Pity are dumb,
And there's never oil or wine
For troubles that do nOs come.
There's song to tighten the toll.
And staff for climbing the height,
But never an Alpine stock
For the hills that are out Of sight.
There are bitter herbs enough
In the brimm!ng cup OF to-day,
without the sprig Of rue
From to morrOw's unknown way.
Then take the meal that is spread,
And go with song on thy way,
And let not the morrow shade
The sunshine and JOY Of to-day.
