WILL BE HARD TO BEAT.

The Cincinnati Times.Star, one Of
the stanchest Republican newspapers
of the middle West, makes this obser.
walton: "No matter how much we
may realize the utter fallacy of Mr..
Bryan's arguments, no matter how
much we may believe in their
impracticability, no matter how much
we may deride the half truths he pre-
sents as argument, the fact remains
that Mr.. Bryan, with the benefit Of
112 votes at the start, Is going to be a
hard man to beat. He possesses the
ability to combine in his behalf and
bring to his support elements that are
as distant as the poles. We are not
theorizlng now, but dealing with facts.
Examine the conditions and see. Look
at Mr.. Bryan's supporters and their
divergent arguments and you will
come to the same conclusion"

A PRETTY LEGEND OF THE
MIRROR.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
One of the prettiest Of all the stories
relating to mirrors is that which
comes from the far east. In this a
man brings as gift to his wife mir.
ror of silvered bronze. Then she,
having seen nothing Of the kind be-
fore, asks in the innocence Of her
heart whose was the pretty face snlil-
ing back at her. And when, laughing,
he tells her it is none other than her
own, she wonders still more, but is
ashamed to ask further questions.
But when at last her time comes to
die, she calls her little daughter, and
gives her the treasure she has long
kept hidden away as sacred thing,
telling her. after | am dead you
must look in this mirror, morning and
evening, and you will see me. Do not
grieve," So when the mother is dead
the girl who much resembles her,
looks in the mirror day by day, think
ing she is there talks face to face
with the dead woman and never guess.
ing 1t is but her own shadow she sees.
And it is added, by the old japanese
narrator, that when the girls father
learned the meaning of this strange
conduct of hers, she thinking it to be
a very piteous thing, his eyes grew
dark with tears"

SIMPLE ANTISEPTICS.

II is we'll TO remember that charcoal
and borax are simple but valuable an
tiseptics. Meat, poultry, game or fish,
etc. may be preserved from taint by
being sprinkled with powdered char
COAL which should be washed off with
clean cold water before the food is
cooked. Borax is very purifying, and
meat Is often benefited by being
wiped over with damp cloth dipped
in borax. In the washing Of glass,
china aud other things bOrax is again
OF value, and imparts luster to such
articles as Is not obtained by washing
them in water only, without the as.
Stance of borax. A solution Of borax
and hot water should be made and al
lowed to cool before 1t is used for the
glass.

WHAT DIFFERENTIATION DID.

When young Stonewall Jackson,
one of the most awkward ungainly,
and, seemingly, unpromising youths
that the South has produced, heard of
a vancy at West Point, he Immediately
went to Washington, determined to
get the appointment, and he got it.
When he reached West Point the
other boys laughed at him, but one of
them, with more penetration than
his companions, said: "That fellow
looks like he's come to stay" He did
stay.
He worked hard, economised, and
saved enough from his cadets pay
after covering all expenses, to buy
his sister silk dress.
The world knows what battles he
fought, what victories he won, in the
last years of his life.
1t was determination that gave to
history this splendid name.

NEGRO LABOR IN THE SOUTH.

The Vicksburp Dispatch points out
how much better off the negro is who
stays at home than the one who goes
North expecting to find himself a
favored mortal. The Dispatch is not
at all wrong when it says:
"The facts being published about
the Northern coal minners, show that
they do not enjoy the advantages Of
the negroes OF the South. The miners
labor in the bowels of the earth for
less really than the Tennessee and
Alabama miners, and have to endure
all sorts OF exactions, fines and so
forth, In the South, the negroes,
whether they have cent in their
pockets or not, are furnished homes,
food and clothing, and paid fair wages
to work on the cotton and sugar farms,
or. are given share OF the crop They
are allowed to use all the wood they
want, have garden spots and so forth
free Of rent, and in most cases are per.
mitted to have COW, horses and
mules, and to raise hogs. They have
their own churches, and have the pri
vilege of attending the public schools
They may enter the trades they SEE
fit, and it is common TO see white an(
black carpen .ers and masons working
side by side, on the same building
No peasantry or laboring class in th'
world, have the same chances as tn
negroes IN the Southern States"
No wonder the cCal miners Of tn
North 90 on strikes. But what OF til
great prosperity of which Hanna-MC
Kinley people are boastng?

CONFEDERATE PENSIONS.
AUDITOR COLE PERPLEXED ABOUT
THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE FUND.

Auditor Cole, who is also State Pen.
sion Commissioner, is greatly perplex.
ed over the distribution Of the $780,.
900, which was set aside by the last
Legislature for Confederate veterans,
says Jackson special to the CONNER.
cial Appeal. The distribution will be
made about December lst, aud the
rolls from the counties have pretty
nearly all been received. The Auditor
is required to inspect these rolls, and
is expected to strike off all names
which may be found to be there con-
trary to legal provisions, but by just
what process of divinati0n he is to
know what names ought to be includ.
ed and what not, has not appeared to
him. He is daily in receipt of letters.
many of them anonymous, giving in
formation about certain persons whose
names appear on the pension lists from
particular counties, and which the cor
respondents undertake to show should
not be there. These lists are all made
up by the Boards Of Supervisors and
they are required TO pass upon the
case of every applicant before it Is
forwarded to the Auditor, but the
eagerness of many of these bodies to
get for their counties good slice out
of the distribution has caused vast
number Of persons to be put down for
pensions who are not entitled to them.
Just how to get rid OF these parties is
the question that is now up to Audi
tor Cole. AS he is without means to
ascertain the facts 10 any particular
case, he is almost wholly without
power to correct abuses. Whenever
he is advised that the lists now 10 his
possession contain names which, un-
der the law, have no right to be there,
he will promptly eliminate them. The
county Boards of Supervisors are.
however, responsible for all such impo-
stions, and 1t has been suggested that
when any OF these are discovered that
the rolls should be returned to the
Boards from whence they came. The
pension fund this year is double what
it has been heretofore, but the great
increase In the number Of pensioners
will very probably result in cutting
the prorate class laUef' than ever.
The law provides that the $50 and go
classes shall be satisfied first and the
balance Of the money, should there be
any, will be divided among the needy
Of all grades. These latter received
last year the pitiful sum Of e7.20 each.

Editor Democrat-Star
We have just closed great Camp
Meeting at old Palmer Camp Ground.
The meeting commenced Oct. 5th and
continued ten days. We had some of
the finest preachers in the Mississippi
Conference to assist US, and of course
the preaching for eloquence and spirit
ual power could not be excelled. 1t
was simply grand. We had some fine
lay workers who rendered valuable
service at the altar. One good Pres.
byterian lady could shout and pray
equal to some Of our Methodist people,
God bless her. God bless the Presby.
terians.
Forty or fifty conversions, twenty
one accessons to the church and a
collection of one hundred and sixty
dollars, and a glorious revival OF re-
ligion in our church were some OF the
results Of our camp meeting. | am
closing my second year at Coalville,
and these two years have been the
happest years of my life. Everything
has been nice and pleasant and these
people are as true to their church as
any people on earth can be. And for
nice people, fine looking people, and big
hearted people we have them on this
work. | am greatly in love with this
people for their deeds of kindness to
me and my family since we came
among them, l shall ever remember
with loving heart this people that
has stood nobly by me these two
years, and il the Bishop at our next
Conference (which is close at HANDY
removes me from this to another field
Of labor and l never see them again
on earth l shall expect to meet them
again in the home OF the soul. We
have received very nearly 800 people
into the church and had more than
200 conversions, built a new church in
the town of McHenry and done some
work and on the parsonage, and two
churches furnished with fine organs.
One Of these organs was present from
those big hearted people, Captain
Stiglets and his good wife. This is
only some of the fruits of our labors
since we came to this circuit. God
bless the "Old Reliable" and the
Editor.

WHEN
SOME THINGS WHICH WILL HAPPEN
WHEN DEMOCRACY is NO MORE.

The Senatobia Democrat asks the
question, "When Will the Democratic
Party Die?" and answers the question
as follows:
When the lion eats grass like an OK,
And the fish worms swallows the hook:
When the terpan knite wool socks,
And the hare is outrun by the snail,
When serpants walk upright like men,
When doodle bugs travel like frogs,
When graSshoppers feed on the hen,
And feathers are found on hogs,
When Thomas cats swim in the air,
And elephants roost on trees,
When insects in summer rare,
And snuff never makes people sneeze,
When fish creep over dry land.
And mules on velocepeds ride,
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And woman in dress takes no pride,
When Dutchmen no longer drink beer,
And girls get to preaching on time,
When Billy goats butt from the rear,
And treason is no longer crime,
When the humming bird brays like
an ass.
And limberger smells like cologne,
When plow shares are made out Of
glass,
And The hearts If the Mississippians
are stone,
When ideas grow in the golebug's head
And wool on the hydraulic ram,
Then the Democratic party will bt
dead,
And the country not worth d-n.

D..A Il.

Hark! The steady tramp Of millions,
Stern and solemn as they come!
With the banner waving DER them
But no sound OF fife or drum.
Flag unfurled,
Tell the world
That a nations hosts are rising, but
the ranks with rage are dumb.
Not as one in days of struggle,
Hearts are heavy with dismay;
Dim the eyes with tears or sorrow
For the brethren gone astray;
Not for Union,
Or Disunion,
Rally now the grim defenders at the
Weakening Reveille.
Silent all the mass is moving,
Beating time with giant throb,
For heritage in danger,
For legacy from God.
TO the polls
On it rolls,
And the mumed cry is "Give us back
the path our fathers trodw
Gods elect are we no longer,
To uphold banner free,
When we plant the heel of Conquest,
On the lands beyond the sea.
Right is Might
In his sight
Who bestowed the sacred charter Of
Columbia's claim to be.
Stain the flag with wanton carnage?
Trail it in the Plunder sty?
Think ye tits "the white mans BURDEN
To proclaim that flag lie?
Let them say
Who this day
Have defiled the Nations temple will
the Vandal's battle cry?
Not for long is stayed the Vengeance
Honor comes to claim his own;
Soon the Golden Calf of Conquest
Totters from his stolen throne.
Through the gloom
Swift the DOOM
When the stormy voice of ocean roar
in Feedom's angry tone.
