EARLY QUARANTINE.

Quarantine Against Cuba by the T..
). to be Taken Earlier Than Ever.
The Louisiana State board of
health received notification yester-
day from the United States marine
hospital service that all vessels and
soldiers from Havana and Cien-
fuegOs. Cuba, arriving here after
March Is, must be disinfected be-
fore being allowed to come INTO
this port. Similar instructions
have been sent to the other State
boards Of health and health
officers.
We are glad to see prompt and
early actinnin this .matter.~~NeEp
err before has it been deemed ne
cessary to begin the work Of quar-
antine and disinfection as early
as March. Last summer, it will
be remembered the date was adj
vanced from May l to April Is.
1t is now still further advanced an
entire month.
Too great precaution cannot be
taken, for, while Cuba will un-
doubtedly be much healthier this
summer than last year, and there
fore less dangerous to us, those
sanitary improvements recon-
ended by Col. Waring have not
yet been made, and some sickness
is likely to occur there. Every
thing should be done to protect
us from the danger. The United
States marine hospital service will
do well to direct its attention to
New York and other northern
points, where last years eXpe-
rience proved that, because there
was no local danger, less care was
shown in quarantine and disinfec-
tion than is abSolutel Y necessary.

can be sure it is full of nice. plump
woodchucks, who are glad they
got through without being skinn-
ed.
The Republicans are patting
| themselves on the back and try
ing to tell us that we have Mica
ragua canal measure. Not much.
The Nicaragua Canal was abso-
| lutely defeated and the lobby is
| triumphant. \ paltry million
dollars is appropriated fora sur
vey to report when it gets ready.
just watch the next Congress and
see the Huntington interests waltz
up and get the Government to
pledge its credit to build the canal
for private profit. That is what
will be done and we might as we'll
understand it.
Think of Mark Hanna's armor-
plated nerve when he told the
Senate we could not afford twelve
new battle ships. No more we
could if he got the millions be
wanted for his subsidy scheme.
He got more than he ought But
the Senate had just done him the
courtesy to dismiss the bribery
charges preferred against him by
the Ohio State Legislature and no
wonder he felt in a merry, merry
mood.
The Senate did a good thing
when it ventilated the armor plate
steal. The trust wanted us to
pay $3.50 ton. They sell it to,
European nations for half that
sum, and make a good profit.
The Senate simply decided that
unless we could get it for $500 a
ton we would tart a government
plant and make our own. This
would be easy because there is
considerable hand work about az
NOR plate and not much eXpcn-
sIve machinery and no secrets
except those of defrauding the
government and making it pay
for something it did not get. This
has been done a number of times
very successfully.

THE FARMERS PLATFORM.
A "Farmer's Son. Takes Timely Sug-
gestions For Mississippi.
Editor Southern Farm Gazette:

Editor Southern Farm Gazette:
A great many men are seeking
an office in order to serve the peo-
pie. Seven men have announce d
themselves as candidates for gov
ernor. Hundreds of Others ale
asking the voters to cast their
votes for them.
When these men arc asked to in
form the public in regard to the
platform on which they stand,
they say: "We endorse the Chi
acago platforn-we are Democrats "
This answer satisfies most all of
the voters, and no further ques-
tions are asked. Therefore, the
people are wholly ignorant of the
views of these men on the most
important issues of the day. They
are Democrats and believers in
free silver-so far, so good; but
what else do they believe in?
Other issues of great Importance
to Mississippi should receive at
tentiOn.
Fifteen-sixteenths of the popu-
lation are farmers. A larger per
cent of the population of Missis-
sippi is engaged in farming than
in any State in the union, yet the
farming class of this State re-
ceives less attention at the hands
of the lawmakers than in any one
of the forty-sjX States. Why is
this true? Because the farmers
of Mississippi do no not demand
their rights. "Charity begins at
home," therefore, let Us do our
duty to ourselves.
The question may be asked:
What laws can be passed that Will
benefit the farming class? \ great
number should be passed, but the
following are the most important:
MISSISSIPPI NEEDS:
|. A commissioner of agriculture.
2. A State veterinarian.
3. A system of farmers Institutes.
4. Agriculture taught in t he rural
public schools.
). Better roads.
6. A dog tax.
7. A law prohibiting the selling of
adulteratcd foOdstuffs unless they
are branded as such.
These things are of interest to
the farmers, therefore, we should
not vote any man unless he stands
on this platform in addition to the
Chicago platform. Let us keep
this in mind when we go to the
ballot box. FARMER S Son.

There is little doubt that limit

In view .of the fact that one
government Commission has re-

Canal, ordinary men are excusa-

of Congress in authorizing the
expenditure of 81 900 900 to find
out whether the government
ought to build the Nicaraguea Ca
nal or buy a partnership with the
French Co., that is making a pre-
tence. of constructing the Panama
Canal.

! Jackson. March S.-Hon. $. r.
! Coleman, of Greenwood. arrived
in the city this morning, accompa-
MED by Miss Miller, the sister of
Ivo Miller. Judge Coleman was
here ten days ago, and returns to
hear the governors decision as to
the pardon sought to be secured
for young Miller, and which was
promised him today, if possible.
Miller is now at work on the Ran
kin county convict farm, and has
been for some months. Judge
Coleman has been confident for
some time that his client would be
pardoned, and when he left his
hotel this afternoon at O'Clock
to keep his appointment with the
governor for last review of the
case, was very hopeful of righting
what he is convinced is great
wrong-the life imprisonment of
any man under such circums-
tance. At Z O'Clock Judge Cole
man return from his interview
with the governor and announced
that he had gotten no decision
that none would be rendered to-
night. He has not, however,
given up hope Of securing the par
don. The governor told Judge
Coleman he wanted still further
time to consider the case; that he
had been sick and had not vet had
the opportunity to give it the at
tention it deserved.
DR.. l.. W. Mannaway, an intel
ligent coIored minister and physi-
elan of this city, and who, as
financial agent of the Campbell
college, has done considerable
missionary work among the be-
nighted people of the New En-
gland States, lccturing on the
south and its needs and social
conditions, and always defending
the Southern white people as oo-
ing the best and only true friends
the negro has, furnished your cor~
respondent some interesting
statistics as TO the murders COM
mitted since the first day of last
January to date in the States of
Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama,
Arkansas and Louisiana. The
doctor has kept this record for the
purpose of proving to the people
of the North that the Southern
negroes are not killed by the
white men, but by their own race,
fact known in the South but not
in the North and East. This record
shows that since January 80 ne
grocS have been killed by negroes;
/ negroes were killed by white
men; 3 white men killed by ne
grocs; and there have only been
two lynchingS and enc attempted
lynching during that time These
statistics will doubtless be eye
openers to the citizens of Massa-
chusetts, Maine and other States,
who think the negro is shot down
by the Southern whites on the
provocatiOn and will
prove that the negro is his own
worst enemy.
