If THE people and police OF Rich
mond were like those OF Boston, Miss
Jewett, whom the negroes refused to
listen to, in their church, instead of be-
ing permitted to obstruct the streets
with crowd assembled to hear her at
tempt to incite race animosity, If not
worse, they would have arrested her
and sent her back to her own city by
The next train. The Southern woman,
high or low, rich or poor, doesn't live
who would have ever conceived the
idea of going to Boston to attempt TO
ioment i'll feeling, disorder and trouble
between the different classes aud races
of that city. But now, as formerly,
Boston people labor under the false
idea that they know what is good fol-
other people, better than those people
themselves do.

BECAUSE few rebels against the
Chinese government lived in town
near Pekin, a detachment of the allied
army, though the insurgents had notonly
abandoned it, but all the adjacent coun-
try, looted and burned it. And though
the japanese contingent of the allied
army is doing all it can to stop the loot
ing OF the imperial part OF Pekin, the
missionaries in China are advising the
demolition and entire destruction Of
that city. And all this, too, in the
name of humanity aud Christianity !!

many converts to Christianity in China

THAT the republicans are not capa-
bic of properly conducting even the f.
nancial affairs OF the government is
proved by the fact that though they
have been paramount for long time,
having had undisputed control of all
three branches of the government,
executive, legislative and judicial. they
have not arranged those affairs so as
to settle and remove them from the
squaoble OF politics aud put an end to

No LESS than two hundred men have
deserted recently from the U. s. ships
Kearsarge and Kentucky. II there be
great difficulty and trouble in getting
crews for the present naval vessels, why
should hundreds OF millions be spent
for building more of them, except for
the reason that the builders make lib
eral contributions to republican cam
paign funds, and that the taxpayers
willingly, and, apparently, cheerfully,
submit to all the burdens that may be
imposed upon them?

IT Is notorious fact that the trusts
sell their products abroad at much
cheaper rates than they do at home.
This they can we'll afford to do by
reason of the war tariff, which, while it
puts untold millions into the pockets OF
the managers of the trusts, only in-
cresses the burdens of the poor tax-rid-
den people of this country, and reduces
both their work and it's wages. But as
they can relieve themselves IL they
choose, aud won't do so, the blame is
their own.

The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1900-08-25

In Chicago and other cities the shirt
waist mar has suffered degradation by
being elected from hotels and other
public places. This seems to US to be
very absurd. Certainly a young man
in a tasty shirt waist, even though he
be coatless and veslless, Is o offensive
to any eye. II the ladies are permit,
ted to go abroad in abbreviated gar
ments with only tantalizing lace stand
ing between rounded shoulders and the
eye of man, surely a mar with a white
| shirt waist which comes clear up to hi
neck and is surmounteo by a collar ant
tie, ought not 10 jar the sensibilities o
the most fastidious lady that evel
wore a number two shoe. Prudes ar,
always iniolerable, and that is tn
only name for the mao or woman VIII,
objects to neatness and comfort in tn,
dress OF either sex.

Tariff And The Trusts.

The following from the Nashville
American states the SENTINEL'S ideas
exactly. Without "a protective tariff
the trusts cannot exist. This gets us
right back to the Democratic policy OF
former days, and to a question which
is far from being settled.
The American says:
Tear down the tariff wall behind
which the trusts operate without let or
hinderance and the question oil how &c
smash the trusts will disappear. Under
free trade Il the trusts raised prices in
this country Europe would rush IL
goods and reduce prices 10 the market
level. Where there is the right te
trade with all countries without being
taxed for the privilege trusts annot il
the nature of things exist"

which has grown up in the last fifteen

While there We met scores oil Ola
friends and made many new ones, ana
were pleased TO note the signs OF THRIFT
and enterprise on every hand.
splendid forty-ton cotton seed oil MIL
is being built, and between 10000 and
$50, 600 has been subscribed for the
building of a cotton factory. There Is
not a vacant residence in the town. but
additional ones will soon be built.
Among others, we met our old ana
esteemed friend, II. NJ. Quinn, editor
of the Ceutreville J~effersonian, and

people appreciate it and return a gen

most energetic and hustling merchants,
Mr.. w. j. Jenkins, the leading drug

counties in the state and ought to bt
in the front rank.
! From Centreville we went to Wood
Vile, the home of our boyhood. Wood
Vile is one of the Oldest towns in tn
state, and it and Wilkinson county arr
pregnant with the early history o
Mississippi. Like mary very oil
towns which reveled in riches and lux
ury before the war, Woodville has de
generated and Jagged behind in the in
dustrial race, Notwithstanding the fac
THAT she has a citizenship that canno
be excelled anywhere, and riches t
spare. OF late, though, a change 10

here, too, money is being raised wit
which to build a cotton factory, an
the project seems likely to materalize
| OF course, here at our old home wher
relatives and the friends OF boyhoo
live, we had an excellent time. Th
town has changed in the years ths
have gone since we left the old place
and the people, too, have changed, BIT
1t was boyhood's home and will alway
be remembered as such.
