Special N. o. Times. Democrat.

Washington, Oct. 10.-The De-
mocratic congressional committee
has prepared a statement, given
out tonight for publication, in
which it is shown that not only
are there trusts in the United
States, Mark Hanna to the con-
trary, but that under their baneful
influence everything manufacture
ed or handled by these industrial
combinations has advanced in
price from 30 to 100 per cent.
These increases have all taken
place during the administration of
Mr.. Mckinley, whom the trusts
are supporting for re-election, by
generous contributions to the Re-
publican campaign fund, while ex-
ercising every means in heir pow
er, fairly or unfairly, to force
those in their employ to vote the
Republican ticket. One interest
ing thing in connection with the
increases named under trust ma
nipulation is the fact that while
the manufactured article has
doubled in value, the price of the
raw material out of which it is
made remains unchanged, show
ing that the trust not only has the

ed, no formal call for a meeting
could be issued.
The commission was created by
the legislature at the suggestion of
the State Historical Society and
its duty, as outlined by the legis-
lative act, is to make full,
detailed and exhaustive examina-
tion of all sources and materials,
documentary and record manu-
script, of the history of Mississippi
from the earliest times, whether
in this State or elsewhere, and to
include therein the records of
Mississippi troops in all wars in
which they have participated, and
also of the location aud present
condition of battlefelds, historic
houses and buildings, and other
places of historic interest and inn
portance in the State. The act
also provides that the results of
these Investigations shall be en-
bodied in a detailed report TO the
next session of the legislature.
The legislature also appropriat-
ed $1,000 to the State Historical
Society and the Mississippi Histo-
rical Commission to be used in the
printing of their publications.
The act creating the commits
sion, as stated by General Lee in
his address to the public when
the five members we're appointed
''was the result of a widespread
sentiment on the part of the peo-
pie of the State in favor of pre-
serving and perpetuating the
sources Of their history, many OF
which are being lost without any
hope of recovery"
The report to be made by the
commission is intended to convey
fully what historical material Is

DON'T PAY POLL TAXES
Half of rIississlpp's Voting PopuIa-
ton Startling Figures.

jackson, MISS, Oct. 10.-The
annual report of Hon. w. @.
Cole State auditor, makes the
startling revelation that not one
half of the voting population of
Mississippi meets it's solemn obj
CATION TO thecommon school fukd
by paying poll taxes.
1t has long been generals
known that the number of poll
tax delinquencies in the State is
very large, but few people realize
that it amounts to fifty per cent,
The figures cannot be disputed as
they are embodied in the 1899
1900 report which the auditor will
make to the next session of the
legislature.
For the fiscal year ending Octo-
Der /, 1900 the amount of poll tax
collected in the Is counties of the
State and deducted from the com
mon school fund distribution was
$280,074. The number of polls
assessed was 283,877, and il all
polls thus shown to be due had
been collected the States revenue
from this source would have been

$547.7l4.

547,7j4.
Another phase of the question
Is here presented. The payment
of poll tax in Mississippi is a pre-
requisite to voting and one-half
of the voting population of the
State is disfranchised from this
cause alone.
1t Is true that not ten per cent
OF the negro voting population
pay poll taxes, but the delinauents
are not confined alone to the negro
race. Men prominent in business
and social affairs wantonIy and
wilfully neglect to pay their pay
their poll taxes and as there IS no
legal way to enforce collections
the sheriff is compelled to report
a constantly increasing number of
delinquents each year.
The amount collected this year
is only $4,000 more than last year,
and this does not balance the ma
tural increase in number of polls.
1t is very likely, however, that
there will be quite an "increase
during the recent session of the
legislature law was passed direct
ing sheriffs to publish in the
county newspapers on the first of
April in each year a list Of poll
tax delinquents. Undoubtedly,
this law will act as a sharp stimu-
lus in swelling the revenues from
this source.

NO REASON WHY NEXT HOUSE
SHOULD NOT BE DEMOCRATIC.
The Democratic Campaign is
Confident of a Majority
Republicans Have Only
Seventeen Majority in the
Present House and This
Can be Easily Wiped Out
in November.

The Democratic campaign COM
mlttee is confident of carrying
the House of Representatives
this election, says the n. O. Pic
ayune's Washington correspon-
dent. They figure that the Rep
ublican majority in the last House
was II, counting all vacancies as
illled. The next House will, as
the present one. be composed of
357 members, 179 being necessary
for a majority. 1t may be pre-
sumed that, all things being equal,
the Democrats will gain as many
districts as they will lose, and
they should have TO members of
the next House to start with. 1hey
will need nine more fora majority.
The managers are sure of gain.
ing one in Virginia, where Repre-
sentative Wise was seated on n
contest. They will secure third
in Kentucky, where Representa-
tive Pugh was elected by ten votes.
They are sure of three more in
North Carolina, where Represen-
tatiyes White and Linney we're
elected by the negro vote, and
Mr., Pearson was seated on CON
test. Another seat may be gained
in Texas, where Representative
llawley, who was the only Repub-
lican who could carry his district,
declined to be a candidate again.
These count up a total gain of
eight seats.
Maryland is an old-timo Demo-
cratic State, and with one or two
exceptions has always returned
Democrats to Congress, except in
the fifth and sixth districts. Last
year Representative Wachter was
elected by the scant plurality of
l22 votes, and received less than a
majority of the votes cast, The
Democrats should recapture this
district it is contended. One vote
can also be easily secured in the
second district, carried by the Re-
publicans in 1898 by only $40
votes. 1fthe Democrats of Mary
land cannot do this much for the
sake of the national cause and an
effort to RESTRAIN the imperialistic
tendencies of the administration.
then Maryland may hereafter be
put in the doubtful class. Nor is
the defeat of Representatives
PearIc and Mudd impossible. The
latter has 5000 plurality behind
him, while Pearrc had majority
of 4j06 and comes from u strong
Republican district. Yet McKaig
was elected from that district.
But in any event, if the Demo-
Gratis win in the second and third
districts the House will be safe, if
the party holds It's own through
out the country, while if they can
carry the fifth and sixth districts
the house will he Democratic be-
yond doubt.

also the power of naming the

circumstance to be specifically
noted is the further fact that
