The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1899-06-17

This fin de steele period has
been productive of more fads and
fancies than anything yet intro
duced. 1t is a sure sign of insan-
ity. We had better he more prac-
teal than indulging in so danger
Gus nonsense. And like the gay
side to all dark subjects, there is
the ridiculous phase to all serious
things. A fad growing to an
alarming extent in the ridiculous
sense is found in the way our
young girls are changing the way
our grandmothers wrote their
names. For Mare they substitute
Marye, Mamie is written Mamye,
Katie is Katye and so on. The
young man looking for sensible
girl to make him practical wife
will not embark with the silly
creature who would distort her
name. Pretty soon she would be
changing off his name for some
thing new. Even geographically
the effect is repugnant.

Taxes are higher in Mississlppl
than they have been since Ames
and the hated carpetbag regime;
they are higher than the taxes of
any other Southern State; there
is no public Improvement to show
for it. On the contrary, the old
capitol is dangerous and leaks
even to the ground floor. And
yet the taxpayers are asked by
the Governor to vindicate the
Governor by sending him to the
United States Senate for six years
where he would draw a salary of
$50, ,000.-New Orleans Pieayune,

THE SAME OLD ENGLAND.

The United States is having
great difficulty in ocoming to an
understanding with Great Britain
over the Alaska boundary. But
Great Britain is as soft and gentle
over her contentious as buttered
parsnips. She is having dispute
with the Boer Republic IN South
Africa over the privileges extend
ed to the British residentsln the
Transyaal. These British are TAX
ing some $3.50, 900 in gold out of
the Transvaal and making a less
u.eturn to that country than Cana
Ia exacts from the Klondyke min

ouR PHENOMENAL GOVERNOR.

There is no better reflex of pub
lie sentiment than the newspapers.
IF we are to judge by this stand
ard what then is more convincing,
more conclusive in condemnation
of J. A. McLaurin. the remarkable
Governor of Mississippi, who
would be u. S. Senator simply to
Iyindicate himself from what he
terms persecution, when of the
some three hundred newspapers
published in the State only eleven
are supporting this same McLau-
rim. Positively a sad and poor
commentary on the gentleman's
boasted popularity, and is 81 tell
ing argument that the clan fol-
lowers cannot well undertake to
entertain. But the McLaurinites
are a tricky and sorry band, and
like the drowning grasp'the frail-
est straw. They hope to win ON
sympathy. They pose in the
face of the absurdity by telling how
tAe sabuse" heaped on their idol
invites sympathy and courts new
friends. How about the abuse
they are heaping on Allen? Ii
Mr.. McLaurin can win on such
vivid creation why not Mr.. Allen?
We are told by the Governors
organs of his friends and power.
One needs not be a Soloman to
see wherein that strata of McLau-
rim strength lies. When it is con-
sidered that over 5000 men have
been given appointments, besides
a host relatives, by this remark
able Governor; that these appoln-
tees have their influence, their
friends, and they in turn their IN
fiuence, why not then so purple
streak of McLaurlnism all through
Mississippi? Governor McLaurin
has all along prostituted the gu
bernatorial chair for political an
grandizement, to further selfish
ends. to defeat those whom he
could not entrap, as he had wish
ed to punish Mr.. Vardaman: But
McLaurin first makes mad the
gods whom he would destroy. No
one in all honesty approves the
McLaurin administration. His
record stinketh to heaven. A vote
now for him would mean an un-
qualified endorsement of this dis
reputable administration. Can
you, honest voters, tax payers and
true manhood afford this endorse
ment? Hardly. Let us first dip
this demagogue in the gall of de-
feat and consign him to political
oblivion; let him down deep INTO
the grave and his name never
mentioned lest Mississippi hang
her head in shame. Save, you
voters, Mississippi this blush.

THE LITTLE BROTHER OF THE
PRESIDENT.

Who ever knew that the presi-
dent had brother? Who ever
heard of II. Abner Mckinley four
years ago? 1t is different now.
If you have any business with
the Administration of any of the
departments, even to their utmost
ramifcations, you had better see
Abner Mckinley. In fact you
are bound to come on his trail
somewhere. Hanna looks after
the Offices; Abner looks after the
Jobs. Abner is permitted to trade
on the prestige of his brother in
the White House and is said to
have made cool half million dur
ing the last twelve months, prln-
cipally on war contracts. No one
accuses the Presi lent of sharing
in these enormous profits, but it's
all in the family. Abner McKin-
lev and his methods have been
brought to public attention in the
latest instance by a suit begun by
James Lutkins a New York brok-
er. to,compela clothing manufact-
uring concern to pay him $4,000
for his "lnfiuence" in getting them
contract for army uniforms at a
big price. Every effort is being
made to suppress Lutkins because
his story of the transaction threat
ems to show Abner Mckinley as
the real influence. A great to do
has been made because ex-Speak-
er Reed gives up the most power
full and influential position in the
country, next to that of the Pres,
ident, for $4,000 a year. And
vet the Presidents brother, four
years ago an unknown quantity OF
very mediocre ability. is said to
have received as retainers more
than twice that amount In the
last twelve months. If the Presi-
dent had given brother Abner The
latest office in his control the
country would have shrieked with
charges of nepotism, but the mat,
! ter is being handled with much
greater wisdom. Abner dives out
of sight like loon at the flash OF
a gun and only comes TO the sur
face to draw his breath and his
commissions

The Louisville and Nashville
Road is interested just now in the
plans of some eastern people,
who propose 10 develop the coun.
try AS a grape-growing section.
These eastern people, represen-
tative of whom spent week on
the coast recently, have decided
that there is no better opportuni-
ty anywhere in the South than the
coast country for growing vine
yards.
The company includes a very
large holder in gulf property, now
a resident of Chicago. This gen
tleman has quietly. for the past
few years been buying up all the
lands he could secure on the
Gulf Coast, and now proposes to
establish there very large grape
farm. Several hundred acres will
be planted, and every preparation
made for increasing the acreage
each year.
1.-The Chicago gentleman who
spent several days on the coast
was astonished to find such lux
uriant grapes growing. There are
hundreds of small grape plant.
ings along the coast, which last
year bore some of the prettiest
fruit one would care to see. "As
a matter Of fact" continued this
Louisville and Nashville official,
"there is a wonderful develop
ton in store for the Gulf Coast.
For intanca, who would suspect
that indigo can be raised there.
The soil is specially adapted to
the culture of the plant which
produces indigo. A gentlemanat
Gulfport has several plants
growing. and this being the third
years trial, he is convinced that
its culture can be made a big sue
cess all along the coast. Then,
too, there is not a finer section of
the sugar beet than on the Gulf
Coast.
1.-THE sugar beet is being grown
there now with every success.
And who would suspect that tea
can be grown on the Gulf Coast? =?
Well, it is true. There are seve-
raj tea trees in Bay St. Louis,
out some distance from the shore,
and the owner is satisfied that tea
can he grown there as easily as
anywhere else in the world, with
proper precautions, and by using
hard varieties of the plant-New

JOHN SHARPE WILLIAMS.

/ J. ne eXpeCttA LIDS =.
| John Sharpe Williams, OF Yazoo,
and present congressman from
that district, announced himself
this week a candidate for the long
term in the T.. S. Senate, with
Messrs. Allen and McLaurin tor
opponents. 1t is true MI. VIII
liams did yield to heavy press.
ure, yielded to the solicitations or
many, but this comes from his
home section only. These people
cannot but be patriotic. Specula-
tions are rife as to what effect the
announcement will have in the
Allen and McLaurin camps, but
those who are doing the least talk
ing happen to be those in posi-
ton to know whereof they speak
and they assert that if anything at
all the gain is Aliens. Williams
chances are slim. He cannot
catch up with the tens of thous-
ands of shake hands and the
scores of speeches and campaign
qualifications made by his hard
working opponents. Whatever
support received will come from
his home counties and from that
source where Allen may not yet
have penetrated. In announcing,
Me-. Williams declared himself
otr;ctly on national issues, aud
one happy trait of his plan for
campaign is found in his PROPOSE
ton to avoid personal dwelling.
There is a something dignlfied IN
this ..apd which wins applause.
Now to the man. AS congress
man he is of very mediocre abili-
ty, and it is common that he has
accomplished nothing that would
emulate him to gain that pro-
motion he, now seeks. A Jackson
correspondent, we'll acquainted,
wires: civilians is not man of
executive ability. His career in
Congress has not been marked by
any especial display of talent as
legislator, and his most intimate
friends admit that he is decided
" impractical. Unquestionably,
however, he is one of the most
gifted orators in the South, if
flowery Language is one of the re-
uuisites of true oratory. He also
possesses a fine education. Will
iiams was born in Memphis on the
3Oth of, July, 1854, and is now
nearly As years of age. His moth
er died while he was yet child.
His father was killed during the
battle. of Shiloh, and young Will
liams was taken to 9azoo county,
this State, where he was reared by
his mothers family. He received
a fair education in private'schools
and afterwards graduated from the
Kentucky Military Institute, the
University of the South, the Uui-
versity of Virginia, and the UNI
versity of Heidelburg, Baden,
Germany. Afterwards he studied
law in the Office of Harris, McKisick
& Turley, IN Memphis, and took a
special law course in the Univer-
sity of Virginia. In 1898 he NOV
ed back to Yazoo county and en-
gagged in the practice of his chosen
profession and the varied pursuits
of cotton planter SO there
you are, man we'll educated, but
with no executive ability; flow
cry speaker, but a legislator inn
practical.
