CONDUCT.

Just here I think it proper to call
attention of the. people of Mississ-
ippi to the habit which the Govern
or has manifested time and again
and especially in his Meridian
speech to excuse himself for doing
something because others have done
it. Suppose the bill filed to enjoin
the misrepresentation of funds by
the Board of Control was filed
through spite. Is it any excuse for
the Governor having brought about
such condition of affairs that this
noble institution erected in your
midst, had become a public mendi-
can't and was threatened with the
overshadowing calamity of either
closing its doors or else having a
special session of the legislature

Capitol issues by narrowing simply
to the Gordon and Weathers plans.

quoted in his Meridian speech, the

the matter of the capitol plans, but

am warranted in making this
assertion by the action of the SEN

day of the session, when it passed
by a vote of IL to 10 the following
resolution
Resolved. That the senate re.
lgrets the failure of what is known
as the capitol bill, after so much
labor and concession on the part OF
the members of the senate and so
much expense to the State, and
now desires to put on the records
of the senate that said bill was
wholly free from any constitutional
or other objection as stated in the

He also takes comfort in the fact
that the house in which body that
measure originated sustained this
veto, but he failed to say that of the
SO members who voted to sustain

before them plans submitted by Is
architects, all of them IN the Ian
'guage Of the Governors message to
the Special Session of 1897, "were

skillful architects and accomplished

possible for the Legislature to have
made a mistake In selecting one
plan out of these is plans prepared
by skillful architects and accom-
plished gentlemen, and further it
may be said that the Legislature
would not have begrudged the time
our effort to have made this selec-
ton. They desired to do 80 and it
was therefore unnecessary for the
Capitol Commission in the language
of the Governor in this san 9 mes

given them pleasure to carry out as
they wanted to do the difficult task
of making determinations between
these excellent plans, drawn and

Continental nerS.

The person who would wish to learn
something about the chief newspapers Of
foreign countries must first grasp the
fact that they arc in two or three most
important points very different from the
great English journals with which he
is so familiar. In the first place they
seldom make any striking pretense of be-
ing "up-to-date' news purveyors for the
public. III the sense tlsat we understand
that term in relation to the British and
American press. In fact, they give some
few items Of fresh news here and there
i'll their pages, but it is in most cases a
very desultory kind of rechauffe.
Secondly, newspapers Oh the continent
are seldom or never sold SO widely OH
they are nearly all subscribed for by ad-
vance payments, and then are delivered
by hand or post at the houses Of the
various subscribers as they are issued.
1t is true that in Paris, Berlin and
one or two other large towns, one can
buy paper at the kiosks which are in
many. parts. of the city. but this sys-
tenn is nothing like so universal as are
our news agents shops.
Again, the continental papers. almost
without exception. devote a large part of
their space to short story, or continual
ton of a serial one, daily: and they have,
comparatively spea king, much more space
given up to advertisements than our pa
pers have.
Lastly. there are few papers of Eu-
rope outside our own country which ex-
ercise any important effect on the pub
lie opinion regarding political events.
such as is exercised every day by the
great London and New York journals.
Though foreign papers pretend to be lib
cral or conservative, as the case may
be. the meaning Of these terms to them
is quite different from what it is to us.
Roughly speaking. they may be taken
to be Of two classes, either supporters
OF the government or opposed to it; a
few pretend to be of no politics at ALL

How John Chinuman Marries.

A somewhat superfuous law of this
country shuts out John Chinaman from
citizenship. That is no grief to John.
He doesn't yearn for the enlightenment
of Western civilization typitied by foreign
devils who attempt to restrict his use OF
opium, and even 90 so far as to deny him
the right of gambling. What he wants to
do is to live here on 20 cents a day while
making 50 a day, and, as soon as he gets
enough surplus, go back to his ancestral
halls, where he can support family in
great comfort on something like II cents
a day. The copyright on this article
doesn't prohibit persons with taste for
mathematics from using these figures as
4 basis for calculating how long it will be
before, under present conditions. America
has permanent Chinese population. OF
course John sometimes marries here and
settles down. His wife may be Chi.
nese woman to whom he was betrothcd
years before, when she was baby, and
who comes over here in the steerage and
under chaperonage TO fulfill the Obliga-
ton entered into by her parents, and to
find herself the center of very consider
able celebrations extending through the
three 1,: streets of the quarter; In the last
wedding of this sort the bride was 21 and
the bridegroom 81. The betrothal had
lasted since her second year. More often
the bride is one of the debauched girl
victims Of the quarter, and the wedding
ceremony is after the American custom,
for which the Chinaman has small re-
gard. 1t matters the less in that the wife
commonly dies in a year or two, rarely
leaving any offspring. Opium does it.

GOLF BALLS WILL COST MORE.
Gutta Percha Rising on Account Of
Demand for Submarine Cables

Golfers of Chicago next season may
come in contact with a new instance oi
the law of supply and demand. The de-
mand for gutta percha in laying the new
submarine cables it is said, will increase
the price Of that commodity SO that dear
err golf balls will add to the cost Of an
already expensive sport. The price Of
balls already has begun to go up, and as
merchants in the country are antjcipat
ing a shortage next year the Scotch man
ufacturers are deluged with orders
The estimate for the trade of the Unit
ed States next year places the number of
balls wanted at 100000. This means
eighty-fve tons of gutta percha. The
price at present for a dozen is from
$3.50 to $3.50. The advance of Cd a
dozen recently was explained by the
statement that the same quality of gutta
percha is used in the construction Of
ocean cables.
The price of gutta percha has risen in
the last six months from so cents to
1925 a pound in the crude state. Dur
ing the refinement 33 3 per cent. of the
weight is lost. making the cost of the fin
ished product $1.G5 pound 1t takes
about 81 worth of gutta percha to make
a dozen balls.-Chicago Tribune.

Saved from Destru ctiOn.

A writer in the Ladies' Home Journal
tells an interesting story of Sargent, the
artist, in connection with his great mural
painting in the Boston public library.
Sargent had given much time and study
to his theme, but went to some friends
one day in mood of artistic despair in
sisting that he had conceived an idea
beyond his powers of execution. He OK.
planned. then goomily insisted. that he
was going home to destroy the entire
batch Of drawings. They pleaded with
him not to do so before they had seen
them. He consented, and spurred on by
their encouragement, finished his noble
design. But for the insistence of Sar-
gents friends we would have lost one OF
CIR most treasured works of art.

Porto Rico has no barns, we are told
by an American visitor, and the vision
of a harmless region, so far as sentiment
is concerned, is not welcome How
much the children of that island have
lost! No haymow sports; no hidings in
fragrant recesses; no leaps into friendly
depths of the harvest of the meadows;
no rainy -day delights, shared with swal-
lows darling in and out; no memories of
such hours to give their pleasant sadness
to later years! American children will
regard their contemporaries in Porto
Rico as fair subjects for Sympathy
