The Herald hopes that he
will. The free silver yawps
who elected the McLaurins
governor, as the Raymond
Gazette very aptly puts it,
are only receiving their mer-
tied disappointment. TheHer-
aid wants Anse to continue
his nepOtic course until the
last one of the kith and kin
are sucking the. public teat.
1t will be the best thing that
can come to the people Of
the State. Mississippi has
been for sometime pretty well
McLaurinized, and when the
day comes, and Come it will,
when the people of the State
will rise and overthrow them
the State will be relieved of
a great political burden. In
the short time that Anse has
been in the gubernatorial
chair he has proven his inca
pability as an executive, and
there is scarce a doubt but
what his administration will
prove anything but an honor
to either the State or him
self. Intellectually he is be-
yond question third-rate in
State matters and cannot rise
above his own personal incli-
nations in his administrative
acts. For his course he is
not at fault. He is power
less to rise above that level
to which nature assigned
him. 1t is the people who
are at fault. They are to
blame for placing a man of
small executive ability in the
gubernatOrial chair. As a
legislator he ranked about on
a level with a majority of the
present Legislature, and as a
United States Senator he did
nothing but walk in the
tracks of those who had pre-
coded him, just as the faith
full canine follows his master.
This the people knew or
could have known by inves-
tigation, but that he had es-
pOused a fanaticism that CO.
incided with their crude
ideas of finance was all that
they deemed necessary, and
fired by the fever of that
craze they made him govern
or of the great State of Mis-
sissippi. They were welded
to their idol in haste, and
many of them are now bitter
ly repenting at their leisure.

OLD YOUNG WOMEN.
Root of tho EVIL Is In Parental Indui-

Root of the Evil Is In Parental Indul-
gence.
One of the saddest features of pres
ent-day life is the condition of ennui
in which even the very young women
settle soon after their school days are
finished, says the Philadelphia Times.
At 1S or 10 they have been everywhere,
seen everything. possessed whatever
their desires have prompted. and just
when life should be most filed with
beautiful promises they are hopelessly
ference. The root Of this evil Is to
be found in paternal indulgence. The
American father and mother work
hard, saving all they can, denying
themselves luxuries and ofttimes neces-
saries as we'll, that their daughter may
revel in that which they have never
taken the time or the means to enjoy
From her earliest infancy the girl finds
that her lightest wish is to be graft
fed II 1t is possible. regardless OF the
fact that what she desires may not be
becoming to her age or to her condi-
tion OF life. That she wants 1t is all
that the parents consider, so that when
the time comes that such qualification
would have some significance she is
past enjoying 1t. She has nothing to
look forward to, she Is surfeited. and
should she marry. her husband will
find this ennui the greatest bar to their
domestic happiness. A little more de-
NAL in early youth. plain food, plain
frocks. simple pleasures up to the time
of her debut. should be the rule, when
the delight of new sensations will more
than compensate for the doing without
that which has marked her pathway up
to that time.

RESULTS OF FOREST FIRES.
Devastation Wrought In Colorado xGsun-
tain Regiona.


Devastation Wrought In Colorado Nsun-
tain Regions
The traveller through the mountain
regions Of central and northern Colo
RADIO, even though he makes only cas-
ual observations, cannot fail to. be i'm
pressed with the extent of ne dewas-
tation that has been wrought by forest
fires. One may ride for miles through
regions where the destruction came In
very recent years, as Is shown by the
blackness, the entire absence of living
vegetation and the utter desolation.
On these areas the general appearance
marks the destruction as more remote; /;
many trees are r0tting on the ground;
from those standing the bark has been
worn away, and their bleaching trunks
remain, white and ghostly, the last
relics of a once grand forest. On these
areas other vegetation has started,
and some are sufficiently covered with
grasses and sedges to afford good pas
turage for stock. Here and there are
thick groves Of young aspens, bordered
with scattering shrubs, elder, buffalo
berry, shad bush, currants and goose
berries, or the whole may be covered
with growth of shrubs intermingled
with scattering pines and spruces.
Sometimes this new coniferous growth
is scanty, and again it Is abundant,
covering the whole surface and form
ing dense forests. Other areas must
have been denuded Mt still earlier pc
riod, and here the evidence of former
forest growth is reduced to few rot
ten remnants of stumps or trees. Some
of these new areas are now timbered
with new coniferous growth, while 9TH
ers are nearly barren of vegetation.

Now Omcers Have Taken Charge of the
Road.
Baltimore, July 1.-The receivership
OF the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
terminated at IL o'clock last night and
the property was turned over to the
stockholders without celebration or
formal ceremony. John K. Cowen
and Oscar G. Murray were appointed
29th. 1896, by the United States court
for the District of Maryland. Being
familiar with the needs Of the property
the receivers decided that the only
wise course to pursue was to practi-
cally rebuild and re-eQuip the railroad.
The physical condition was bad. its
equipment antiquated and inadequate
to handle business and its insufiiciency
was such as to seriously injure the
revenues. The receivers plans were
discussed by the security holders and
as large majority agreed to the pro-
vision of enough funds to place the
road in condition to handle its traf-
fic, they obtained permission of the
court to issue certificates for the pur-
chase, by means Of equipment trusts
and receivers certificates, of new cars
and locomotives and to improve the
physical condition OF the property.
The plan also provided for the payment
in full of all receivers indebtedness,
the entire floating debt Of the COM
pany, represented by promissory notes
and negotiable obligations and of all
car trust obligations, enabling the COM
pany to begin the fiscal year Of 1899-
1900 with all its obligations paid. For
the reason that reorganization was
possible without foreclosure, the orig
fnal charter Of the company remains in
force, and the next annual meeting of
the stockholders will be the 73d. The
new stock Of the company is held by in
terests which cannot fail to be OF great
help to the property and much new
capital has been invested in the Sc
curities, and there is sufficiency Of
money for still further improvements.
which are in progress, with view to
still further reducing the cost Of trans
portation.
