UNJUST TAXATION

The Purcell Register with it's
usual quota Of sound business
judgment says:
Taxation that brings to the pay
er neither benefit nor protection,
is unjust and irksome. The tax
required to be paid TO the Indian
government does NOT bring to the
man who must pay it one iota
of benefit. 1t goes into the tribal
treasury and not one penny is ever
paid out for any purpose that
reaches the payer. No roads are
improved, no bridges built, no
schools kept up to which the nom
citizen is allowed to send his
children, by the aid of this tax.
The business men of the Chick
asaw country are fully justified in
a strong and united protest against
the further continuance of this un-
Just tax.

Cattle Killed by Blasted Corn.

Anderson, Ind. Jan. 17.-Farm-
ers in the north Of Madison county
are losing fine cattle at an alarm
ing rate, and in one or two in
stances whole herd has been de-
populated. Expert veterinary sur
geons who have investigated the
cause state that death resulted by
cattle eating blasted corn, or corn
ergot. The unusual fall rains
caused extra growth of blasted or
smutty ears, which were left on the
stalk when the corn was harvested,
and the cattle turned into the field
soon die

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of la grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe few years
ago when SO many cases resulted in
pneumonia, it was observed that the
attack was never followed by that
disease when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was used. 1t counteracts
any tendency of cold or la grippe
to result in that dangerous disease.
1t is the best remedy in the world
for bad colds aud la grippe. Every
bottle warranted. For sale by City
Drug Store and T. N. Coleman.

Silver Very rlucn Alive.

Denver, Col, Jan. 17.-Col
William j. Bryan declared today
in brief speech, which he made
at the public reception given to
him by the bimetallic league of
this city that the silver issue is
still very much alive. He said.
THE cause lives because it EN-
bodies the hope, the aspirations
and the belief of our people. 1t is
a strong cause because the people
need silver. The American people
favor bemetallism, never mind
where he silver is produced. We
don't need it because it is pro-
duced here. People eat because
they need it, not because food has
to be consumed. And so with
with gold and silver. They are
imported in the worlds commerce
because they are needed and you
can never destroy silver when it i
needed.
The farmer, the creator of
wealth, knows that the gold stand
ard lowers prices without raising
money. And if the gold standard
should once be established you
may set it down that the date of
bankruptcy is not far ahead. To
restore bimetallism is to restore
the parity between money and
property.
Those who advocate the gold
standard as a rule know that the
gold dollar is not stable nor hon
est. The strength of the gold
standard is to be found in the
money centers and Its strongest
advocates are those who, when their
dollar is invested, want it to go
up.
If our cause is just, and / firm
ly believe it is, its triumph is ssure.
Truth can not be crushed to earth.
The hour of death is not here"

For the fifth time a Missouri
legislative caucus of the Demo
cratic party has nominated Francis
NJ. Cockrell for the United States
Senate. With tie death of Sena-
tor Morrill,, the senior Missouri
Senator becomes the Oldest Sena-
tor in point of continuous service.
Should he live to serve out the
congressional term for which he
has just been nominated. he will
have served as long as Benton.
Benton's senatorial term was en-
bittered by fights and personal an
tagonisms. 1t is most significant
that Cockrell's nomination came
to him without effort on his part,
and was made by acclamation.

A LATE issue of the New York
Sun, an ultra gold-bug apologist
for the present prosperity (9) ad
ministration, states that a most
careful investigation reveals the
fact that in New York city, alone,
there are fully 10000 women en-
ployed in various occupations, at
wages so low that it is an utter
impossibility for the women to
live on them-and that they are
compelled to ask for and accept
charity-or do worse. And this
in New York, the richest city in
the world, and the fact published
in gold bug paper. Think of it!
10000 women at work and not
enough wages to sustain life!
The Sun, however, does not state
the number of women and men
who are unable TO obtain work at
any price-neither does it mention
the horrible fact that ten thous-
and children die annually in that
city from starvation-in the city
where there are many men and
women whose ill-gotten fortunes
are fabulous; greater than that of
any Of the ancient or modern
kings, princes, PIRATES or barons
Of the old world. But this is the
fruits Of venal legislation, of the
single standard money. of the con-
centration of wealth through
purchased law-makers of Greed.

Easter In England,

In England less is made of the day
now than before the reformation, but
some curious practices survived until
recently in that country. Among them
was the custom of heaving, as it was
called-possibly relic of the heave
offering of the Jews, though others say
it was intended to symbolic the resur-
rection. A chair was decorated with
rosettes and ribbons, and eligible men or
guests were desired to sit in it while
the young women and servant maids of
the place heaved them or raised them
into the air. After that they gathered
about and kissed them. This delightful
custom should have been imported to
this country. 1t would have had re-
markable favor among those people who
are fond of things English. Perhaps it
book the edge from the enjoyment when
the servants afterward insisted on tips,
rs other English servants do and have
done on each and every occasion in life
that offered the slightest excuse for such
requests. On Easter Monday the men
took their turn and heaved the wom-
en-, demanding kisses and money as
penalty for refusal. In Ireland it was
customary to rise at 4 in the morning
IN order to see the sun dance, as it was
believed to do from joy that the ami
,ersary should have come round again.

Why Easter, unlike Christmas, should
be movable feast has often been asked,
but it is not so readily answered. To
have the date Of Easter Sunday fixed
definitely so that it's place in the calen-
dar year or 30 years ahead could be
stated as exactly and readily by people
in general as that Of Christmas would
be convenience. The majority of even
Catholics and Episcopalians have at
present but indistinct and probably in
accurate ideas as to why Easter is cele-
brated on such or such date and are
content to leave the time of its celebra-
tion TO be announced by the calendar
makers.
Aside from saving the abstruse calcu-
lations employed in determining the
Easter date there would certainly be
advantages in having the entire Chris
ian world celebrate the Easter festival
upon the same date, and Pope Leo XIII
Is said to be about to take the initiative
In tho matter by fixing the time of
Easter, after the present century, on
the third Sunday before the spring
equinox, provided the Greek church
will adopt this reckoning along with
The Gregorian calendar, thus bringing
the two great divisions Of the Catholic
church into uniformity as to the feasts
and festivals Of the Christian year. -
