SHOULD MOVE SLOWLY.
(Richmond Disnntch.l

Though no man can foresee what
they Will be. we may be sure that long
before 1904 has arrived new and great
national issues Will have arisen. And
before 1904 the Democratic party ought
to be in good fighting trim and have
iull ranks, and to that end we ought
TO labor to obtain new recruits, while
we retain the veterans who have stood
the shock of so many campaigns. If
we ever hope to win again-and we
are going to win-we must have
large accessions of strength in several
States. Better that we should move
slowly-better that we should give Mr..
Bryan time To weigh public opinion
before we make any serious movement
affecting the party's future.

IT'S TOO LATE.
(Pittsburg Post.)

For downright clear grit and colossal
impudence we have never heard of any
thing equalling that of Don Dickinson,
of Michigan, coming forward with his
plans 10 reorganizc the Democratic
party. 1t is as one man in opposition
handling six or seven millions of voters
according TO his own sweet will and
pleasure. lie talks of issuing n call to
others of his inclining. who voted for
Mckinley. To meet in n week or two
and take charge of the Democratic
party on letters of administration prob
ably to be issued by Mark Hanna. Don
Dickinson is IA daisy and should be put
on ice.

dOrsements.
Harry w. Bates. young man who for
several months has been employed as a
plate printer at the bureau of engraving
and printing, was today arraigned before
United States Commissioner Mills on the
charge Of securing his position through
fraud. Through his counsel, Mr. Camp

a continuance until tomorrow afternoon 1T
2 o'clock. which was granted, and he was
held in bonds for his appearance at that
time.
1t is alleged that Bates forged or caused
to be forged the names of two persons to
a document recommending him as a plate
printer, when at the same time he was
not a member of the craft. He soon how
ever, after entering upon his new duties
became quite proficient, and was about to
be promoted when an Inspection of the
papers revealed their irregularity.

Seizure of Bullion,

General Haywood submits the following

In communication dated July Is. 1900
Col. Meade refers to the looting which had
been going on in Tien Tsin He states
that the treasury has been ransacked but
that all the vaults were not looted and
Major Waller with a force is searching for
the treasure. The treasure, which consisted
principally of silver bullion, fused with
brick, mortar and other debris, was ra-
covered from the ruins of the sale commits
sioner's yamen, which had been looted and
burned before the marines arrived on the
spot. A board, consisting of Major Waller

intention to deposit the treasure for safe

Remove the Hat.

The problem of the high hat at
the church and theatre has about
been solved. In nearly all thelarge
cities it has become lawful for
the ladies' to remove their hats at
a public gathering, and a failure
to comply with this new law calls
forth from the managers a small
card which says in large letters;
please remove your hat" 1t IS
matter of only a short while
until all small towns will fall in
line with the larger ones in this
much needed fashion and we
would like to see Poplaryille take
the lead. The way the men had
to rubber-neck to see the perfor-
mances at commencement Xer-
cises clearly demonstrated the
wisdom and need of such a move
ment. We are sure that the
ladies wouldn't object to remov
ing their hats if it was only made
| a general custom. Besides {
lady looks much prettier without
hat than with one, and if they
could be convinced of this one
fact, the hat question would be
forever solved.

Who Will Be.

The Meridian Star, one of the
large majority of the state papers
which have condemned the action
of the state executive committee,
very pertinently asks:
under the arrangement that
the state executive committee at
tempts to fasten on the demo-
Gratis of this state, who will be au-
thorized to speak in the national
convention for the great demo-
cratic party of Mississippi on the
populist doctrine of the initiative
and referendum plank that was
incorporated in the Nebraska
platform of the populist and dem
ocratic parties Of that state,
and which it is understood met
with Mr.. Bryan's approval, if he
did not construct it?
There will doubtless be an
effort made in the national con-
vention to commit the party TO
questions that are repu1sive to
the membership in this state, and
the order of the executive COM
mittee takes from them the
right to protest against such ac-
ton, save in open revolt against
the ill-advised methods of the
constituted party authorities. %

Log Jams.

"a log jam is one Of the most
formidable problems we have to
encounter incur line OF business,
said a Mississippi lumberman at
the Grunewald yesterday. eve
had several big ones on the Pas
cagou1a and it's tributaries this
year and a tremendous jam some
distance above Moss Point was
dynamited only last week. How
they begin is difficult to explain.
A few dozen logs will become
wedged for an instant in a narrow
part of the stream and in less
time than it takes me to tell it
| hundreds of others will come
swooping down and pack them
selves in an intricate, c1ose-knit
span, reaching from bank to
bank, and almost as solid as d
rock. The force they exert is
something marvellous. During a
recent jam in my section I saw a
lot of logs plunge under the edge
of the blockade, and d few seconds
later they pushed their way up
through the very middle of the
pack, tossing timber as big
around as a man 5 waist into the
air like so many toothpicks. The
noise they made as they drove
through the mass was simply
deafening. 1t sounded as if the
solid earth was being torn up by
its foundation. When the logs
passed under the jam they were
evidently caught in such a way as
to still further Obstruct the i'm
prisoned stream and were hurled
upward with all the irresistible
energy of millions of gallons Of
rushing water. The breaking
of a jam is a very ticklish opera
ton and seems to be largely a
matter of instinct with old river
men. The lines and angles of
strain in such a blockade are so
compEcatedth that the best engi-
neer in the world is apt to go
wrong in indicating the proper
point of attack. A veteran Ium-
herman, on the contrary, will
often take long look at the mass
and then point out the key log
The KEY log is the timber on
which the strain centres, and
when it is blown out or pried out
the pack, IN almost every in
stance, will break up of itself. l
had an old fellow in my employ d
few years ago who could locate a

There is an interesting test case

not man has a right to keep a

would suggest that the case be

OF course they keep hogs within
the city limits, but often against
their will and the peace and dig

not walk on four legs. Four
legged hogs do not smoke cigar

to unlock the hall door with a
