TyPoTHETAE RETRodREssIvE.

The United Typothetae, an asso-
citation of employing printers, has
taken a step backward. A year
ago it agreed to recognize and CO.
operate with the International
Typographical Union in establishing
uniform hours and equitable wages,
with the result that much was
accomplished without friction or
trouble. AT the meeting last week
a motion to authorize the Executive
Committee to confer with the Ex-
ecutive Council of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union to
further the interests of the print
ing craft and arbitrate all differ
ences that may arise, was defeated
after a long and acrimonious dis
cussion. Later the Typothetae
resolved to not recognize hereafter
the Typographical Union or any
labor organization.
Well, so much worse for the
Typothetae. One would think
that the Typothetae had learned
something by its experience in de-
parting from its original purpose of
protecting and advancing the print
ing art, and devoting ten years to
trying to crush labor unions-an
experience detrimental to employer
and employee alike and demoralizing
and ruinous to the craft as whole.
This idea was certainly indicated by
their conciliatory action last year.
We hope the last move of the
Typothetae is not a preliminary to
the renewal of the strife with labor
unions, but if it is, much as the
labor unions will regret it, they will
surely fight for their right to orga-
nize for protection and betterment
and a voice in regard to hours,
wages, regulations and all that
affects them as employees, while
fully conceding the employer his
just control and rights as such.
The Typothetae, if it renews the
issue, will, we think, soon realize
that things have changed in ten
years; that their refusal to allow
employees to organize for protection
and advancement while exercising
that right themselves, is more re-
pugnant to the popular sense of fair
play than it used to be; that the
American people do rot approve of
the foreign idea of "msster and
man." which some of our employers
seem intent on initiating and estab-
fishing in this country; that the
American workmen will resist it,
now as ever contending for his full
rights as a man and citizen, and
fully conceding the same right to
his employer; that arbitrariness in
an employer is as repulsive as vio-
lence in an employee; that labor
unions, by intelligent conservatism,
have gained the good will of the
people, and the settlement of labor
differences by conference and arbi-
tration, which the Typothetae re-
jected, meets with almost universal

Miss Annie Meehan, who for several
years has been one of the most valued
teachers in the Third ward school, has
been made Principal of the new German

The Republicans nominated

liz ANCRhbhA~abo q
fairly good ticket at their conven-
ton last Monday, but it ought to
have been better, as they have
plenty of first-class material. Some
of the candidates will not only run
far behind, but will prove dead
weight to the ticket, which only
proves that the Republicans, like
some other politicians, don't seem
to learn by experience, viz; an ele-
ment that has run behind and lost
votes to the ticket in every election
for years should be relegated TO the
rear.

PREWITT r1AY CONTEST.
He Claims Longino's Nomination IL
legal and Will Fight.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 14.-Dr.
r. n. Prewitt, Populist candinate
for governor in the recent elec-
ton, threatens to make contest
of Judge Longino's election on the
grounds that his nomination was
illegal.
In an open letter addressed to
other Populist candidates and the
executive committee of Populists,
Prewitt says that the Democrats
violated the primary election law
of their State ticket, section 3259
of the code, requiring that mass
meetings must be held in all
counties on the same day and
that the Democrats did not OBJ
serve this feature Of the primary.
He asks that a meeting of the
executive committee be held to
consider the matter.
When asked All opinion on the
subject last night, Governor Nc
Laurin stated that DR.. PreWitt 5
remonstrance is i'll founded, as
the Democratic ticket was official
ly recognized by the State board
of election commissioners and sent
to the various counties in due
form; that the entire proceedings
were regular and IN strict confor-
nifty with the primary laws.

Mrs. Hearst's gift of from ST.
100000 to s8,000,000 to provide
buildings for the University OF
California is probably the largest
ever given for such a purpose by
any one individual. This, with
many other munificent gifts to
American institutions Of learning
during the past few years, shows
a most gratifying tendency OF the
times. It likewise suggests the
speedy realization of high educa-
tional ideas, made possible by the
rapid acquisition of great wealth
today. in contrast to the slo"
growth of the past. 1t suggests
further, the responsibility resting
upon the accumulators and inner
itors of great wealth to use some
portion of it at least in benehtlng
the conditions of their fellow men.

ABOUT HUMANITY.

When England started out 10
do up the Beers it was announced
that the Dutch farmers were bru-
tai and inhuman monsters and re-
ouired several lessons in civlllza-
ton.
1t therefore came in the nature
of a severe shock to the civilized
world when it was learned that
the Commander in Chief of the
Boer forces, Gen. Joubert, pro-
tested in the name Of humanity
against the use by the British of
shells charged with lyddite. Since
the publication of the protest it
has developed that other highly
civilized and progressive nations
employ the same murderous stuff
under various names. The Aus
trians call it ecrasite, in France it
is known as mellenite, and our
own Uncle Sam is now expert
menting with the explosive, and
he has given it the name of tho
rite. Uncle expects to use it on
the Filipinos to more properly IN
struct them in the arts and
sciences, civilization and culture.
In passing it may be remarked
that a British brigade is en- route
for Africa with 10000 rounds of
lyddith shells. guaranteed that a
single one falling into a compact
body will kill 800 men. 1t is also
stated that in the battle of Om-
durman, which destroyed the army
of Khalifa Abdullah, the lyddite
shells killed thousands of der
wishes by suffocation, and even
vultures dropped dead from the
air when they came under the in
fluence of this mighty clvilizer.
In this instance it may not do
any harm to again mention the
fact that England, Austria, France
and the United States had consi
derable to say about humanity at
The Hague Peace Conference.

Says the Jackson correspondent
of the Times-Democrat:

CA = LIZ Il iAl4S1 - NfAAA ~AN~'
The Noel amendment to the
State Constitution providing for
an elective judiciary system, which
was voted upon at the election
Tuesday, will probably go before
the Supreme Court. In an in
terview tonight Senator +. +.
Noel, author of the measure, stat
ed that, if the Legislature failed
to incorporate the amendment IN
the Constitution, he would bring
the matter into the courts. Sena
tor Noel asserts that the amend
ment has received a majority as
required by section 273 of the
Constitution, said section reQuir-
ing only majority of the qualified
electors voting for and against the
measure, but, on the other hand,
many constitutional lawyers of
prominence interpret the section
as meaning that the amendment
must receive a majority of all the
voters participating in the cleo
ton. About 35 per cent of all the
voters last Tuesday failed to ex-
press any preference on the
amendment, which, if the latter
Interpretation is correct and the
majority required is based on the
vote for Governor, insures its de-
feat by over 5000 votes. If Mr..
Noel's Interpretation is correct,
however, the amendment has car
ried by majority of nearly 10000.
Mr.. Noel expresses confidence that
the Legislature will incorporate
the amendment, and if it should
90 so it will then devolve upon
the opponents of the measure to
bring the Supreme Courts test,
which they promise to do.

MISSISSIPPI EXHIBIT,
Commissioner King is Now Arranging
For a Very Decided Novelty.

Mississippi promises to shove
herself to the front at the Pari 5
Exposition next year.
Mr.. 0. G. King, of Meridian,
who was appointed by Governor
McLaurin some time ago as the
Mississippi Commissioner to the
Exposition, is now making ar
rangements for a decided novelty
in the way of an exhibit from
Mississippi. He will send over to
the French capital five hundred
thousand full grown cotton bolls
which will be sold by original cot
ton field darkies as souvenirs of
the American cotton exhibit.
These will be the first cotton
bolls ever shipped and they will
be eagerly sought after by people
who have used quantities of Anne
rican cotton, but who have never
seen it in its natural rm.-Jack-
son Clarion-Ledger.

LETTER FROM THE PEOPLE.

Editor Sea Coast Echo-Reply-
ing to the Progress comment on
the"devilish poor Democrats who
scratched the names Of some of
the nominees" we would say, not
in defense, but in explanation for
these Democrats, that some of the
men who ignored some of the
nominees in the last election that
their Democracy is unpuestioned
and unquestionable. Asto enter
tanning any fear of being debarred
from further participation in Dem
ocratic primaries the idea never
entered their heads. Verify, it
would require a greater offense
against the sanctity Of Democracy
in Hancock county to debar any
one. We have seen men vote the
Republican ticket in one election
and vote in Democratic primaries
in the next, and hold Office by
Democratic votes. We have seen
Republicans participate in Demo-
cratic mass meetings. We have
seen ct the last primary election
u0n-rgsijent5 a. we'll a. men who
bad never been able to cast a bal
io1 since the Constitutional con
vention march t. the polls and
cast their ballot. Some Of them
IF tAey were shown 4 copy each Of
the Constitution Of the State Of
Mississippi and q Neb9ter's un-
abridged they could not tell the
difference If Jley were going be 10
hanged. We have seen thoUs-
and other things that We could
tell if il were necessary, but every
intelligent man in Hancock coun-
| ty knows that the severest blow
! Democracy ever suffered in thi-
county is the last primary election
that was held here. No doubt il
would be to some ones inter
est if these "devilIsh poor Demo
Gratis could be hebarred; but
like BanQuo's ghost they ale going
to be ever present. If Democracy
means abs0lutisln then we are not
Democrats. But be they Demo
crats or not they are going to take
| a hand in matters political every
time the opportunity presents it
self, It may be that like Ney
they are going to be shot as trai-
tors, but they are going to oontin-
ue their opposition TO "the powers
that be, regardless Of the conse-
quences. And when the remnants
of Democracy can once more be
gathered in one flock perhaps than
! the Democracy Of Hancock cOun-
! tv will be able to work in harmO-
nv. but until then it Is useless to
think of it. The veil was rent in
twain on the day of the last pri-
mary election, and while a term
Of four yaars incumbency awaits
/ the present nominees, the next
county election will mark an
epoch in the annals of old Han
cock. Mark the prediction OF

Factories are being projected
right along IN Mississippi. The
people of the State have become
aroused along industrial lines and
results are becoming apparent.
There is scarcely a progressive
community that is not agitating
the building of cotton factory.
From nearly every section comes
news of movement in that direc-
ton.
All this is extremely gratifying
and indicates that it is now only a
question of tima when Mississippi
will assume thdplace among the
progressive States of the South

While playing before a New
York audience one evening last
week, Miss Julia Arthur, the cele-
brated actress, disturbed by par
ty of well-dressed but misbehaved
women, seated in a box, left her
lines and requested the curtain
be dropped, after which, appear
ing before the footlights and
pointing to the box party explain
ed the interruption. This was
just. A a decent-loving people will
applaud the step so bravely taken.
1t will win the artist admiration
and true regard. Too COM
mon an occurrance is this vulgar
behavior. We see it too frequent
". We see it at church, where
some giggle or the rustic of a
dress will tempt the turning Of
heads; where men and women
turn their gazes to the choir stand
either to show how deeply inter
ested and how far their appreciat-
ion for music extends or to satisfy
their impulse of curiosity. We
see it equally unbecoming in pri-
vate homes, where the daughter
or lady of the house is request
ed to sing or perform on the
piano and the hearers then engage
in conversation. But then we'll
bred people are never guilty of this
violation of self-respect.

The true inwardness 3" of the
Philippine war, from the money
value standpoint, is indicated in
the following extract from a re-
cent article in the New York
World by Henry Clews:
I believe in the civilized power
of beef steak and potatoes; in the
inspiration of baked beans and
pumpkin pie; IN the elevating eff
feet of good wheat bread and bis
cult; in the moral influence of the
bathtub. They are quicker and
more radical than prayer books
and preachers. They reach the
blood, and degeneracy is a blood
disease. AS soon as the East be
comes a market for the West the
pigtail is doomed. When they
take our merchandise they must
also take our civilization. When
they eat as we eat they will begin
to feel as we feel, to look as we
look, to talk as we talk, to pray
as we pray. Little by little, year
by year, they will change. And
from our standpoint the tremend-
Gus value of this market is not
possible to overestimate. With
the Philippines as depot at the
gates of the East we shall soon be
buying and selling with its AGO.
people and the brother
hood of man shall come incom-
parably nearer, and even those of
little faith shall see great things
in the coming century.

The Aberdeen Examiner has
every reason to believe that the
acreage given to wheat in Monroe
county this fall is greater than
in any previous year since

cred that during the war this
county was an enormous wheat
producer, and that before the
war such a thing as a barrel
of western flour, or Il pound of
western bacon was a curiosity in
this and neighboring counties. "
