Up TO a few years ago we had but
little faith In the future of Jackson,
but in the last year, especially, the
energy and enthusiasm . displayed
there by some citizens have changed
the complexion Of things, and now the
outlook is that it will very soon be the
first city OF the state. She has the
favored location. she has the railroads,
she has the capital and she is beginning
to have the energy. With a continu-
alton of the spirit that has been
displayed during the past year Jackson
will make her mark, and the SENTINEL
wishes her God speed in her upward
career. 20,

The Mississippi Fire Association has
been organized with a capital stock OF
81 1000 900 and with 500, 900 OF this
already paid in. Its officers and
directors are made up from the best
business and financial men OF the state,
aud it is organized on d basis which
assures it's success. The idea was
originated by Mr.. Phil A. Rush, of
Senatobia, and to him is mainly due
the credit for the final completion of
the enterprise. The SENTINEL
believes that this move is a good one,
and that instead Of the state having
one of these fire insurance companies
II should have half n dozen OF them.
They would pay better than banks, and
they would keep at home the vast
sums now sent out of the state In
premiums. The domicile OF the new
company is at Senatobia while the
principal offices will be at Jackson
with an experienced fire insurance man
in charge.

Grover Cleveland, in a speech at the
annual dinner of the Holland Society
in New York last week, made some
statements which are not as sweet
music to the ears of the imperalists,
in the Republican party or without it.
He sets himself sqoarely against our
war OF conquest in the Philippines.
He says that I'VE can conquer the
Philippines and after %conquering them
a probably govern them. 1t is in
the strain upon our institutions, the
decentralization OF our people, the
evasion OF our constitutional limitations
and the ~perversion of our national
mission that the danger lies. Our
country will never be the same again.
For veal or woe, we have already
irrevocably passed beyond the old
lines" While 10 the past we have
seen much to condemn in Cleveland
aud his actions, his u%tterances on this
occasion must be given their Just
Significance and import. We believe
he spoke the truth and tina! he believes
every word he uttered. Grover Cleve.

\ few months ago Mr.. Ed S.,,Wilson,
sbe Jackson correspondent OF the New
Orleans P~icayune, started an agitation
Tor the building of the Jackson,

from Jackson to Columbus. Mr..
Wilson gained the cooperation OF
Bishop Galloway, Col. Powers and
several other influential and prominent
men, and a company was organized,
surveyor was sent over the proposed
yoate, subscriptions and grants OF land
we're called for, and such success has
attended their efforts that it is more

QUEEN VICTORIA DEAD.

Queen Victoria, the beloved ruler Of
four hundred million people, the
and greatest monarch of all the
world, is cold in death, and throughout
the civilized world sorrow reigps in
the hearts OF the people. After having
re,gued for over sixty years, taking
her kingdom through the grandest and
most glorious eras OF its existence, she
has laid down her scep,er and her
crown to answer TO the summons TO a
higher power, where every man is a
king and every woman a queen.
Queen Victoria was loved not onlybe-
cause she was Il queen, but because tn
virtues OF life aud the teachings of
Christianity were practiced and exem-
plifed by her in her every act and
deed. AS a wife and mother she was
the noble, tender, atfectionate woman,
and MS Queen she was just, tolerant,
conciliatory and c~onsiderate OF the
comforts OF her people. In every land
and 10 every cline there is sorrow and
tears, for it was not alone in the pos
sessions of the British empire that the
Queen was loved. The tributes paid
her by the press and people have been
the most marked and the most sincere
that have been paid 10 any mortal
10 all the years OF the centuries past.
This has a cause, and that cause We at
tribute mainly to the fact that she was
a true Christian, and being such she
could tie nothing but a noble woman.
Columns OF the SENTINEL could be
used in telling of the kindly deeds ano
noble virtues OF the dead Queen, and
then the half would not be told. The
world is better for the examples she
set as standards for right living, ant
her memory will long live in the hearts
OF all as queen Of queens, and as one o
the noblest OF characters as a simpl,
but grand woman. The world will eve
owe her THINKS.

Our Trade with the Philippines.

An increase of 81 per cent in inn
ports and 149 per cent in Philippine
commerce is shown in comparative
statement made public on the 18th by
the division of insular affairs, war de-
partment, setting forth the trade re-
turns for the first 10 months of 1900,
as compared with the same period
for the preceding year. The total

demptlon OF stamps must be prepared

sides and forwarded by the collector
Of that district to the internal revenue

deemed, be retained with the claim;
therefore, no such instrument can be

The Best of 1t
A Juvenile Sketch
for
independence Day

The Crosspatch Man was sick again.
and this time il must be pretty bad,
for all the morning Meredith had been
watching the servants spread straw
before the house and muffle the big,
shiny doorbell.
Poor mani" mamma said, pitingly.
He is sick so often!"
But he's a Crosspatch Mani" NUT
tered Meredith stifily. Then he re-
pented and looked as shamefaced as a
very little boy with very round, dim
pied face could look. I'm so sorry
he's very SICK" he said slowly. Il
s'pose it hurts even Crosspatch Men"
Mamma did not notice. She was
having her little noon gossip" with
papa, and they were still talking about
their invalid neighbor.
1T isn't quite so bad as it seems,
you know" papa was saying. HE al
ways has the straw laid down and
things muffled when he has one of
his worse nervous attacks. 1t doesn't
mean all that IL does in most cases.
He is terribly afflicted by noise at al
most any time
Noise! | should think SOL" That
was from Meredith, who pricked up
his ears at the word Didn't he know
how the Crosspatch Man felt bout a
noise? Didn't he belong to the Rudd
Street Second? Wasn't he captain?
And oh, my, the times he'd seen the
Crosspatch Man a-scowling and a
Tuning when they marched past his
window!
but Fourth of July will be a terri
BILE day to him-poor mani" went on
mammals gentle voice. That made
Meredith start a little. He had been
thinking about Fourth o July, too.
(Did he think of much of anything
else nowadays?) He had been going
over in his mind all the glorious pro-
gram OF the day. For the Rudd Street
Second was going to celebrate in a
worthy manner They were going to
even Guido themselves this year-and
hadn't they had the proud honor of
being the noisest street in the city for
two Fourth o. Julys a-running? Let
'em just wait till they heard this
Fourth o. July!
1t was three days off. That would
give the Crosspatch Man time to have
the straw taken up and the bell un-
muffied for his worst times" never
lasted more than two or three days.
"Then he'll have to cotton up his
ears" unused Meredith, philosophic-
ally, watching the big foreign servant
that wore a turban go back and forth
past the Crosspatch Mans window.
The house Meredith lived in and the
Crosspatch Mans house were quite
close together, so it was easy to watch
things.

Crosspatch Mans house, he heard
voices distinctly issuing from an open
window. He couldn't help hearing, it
was so quiet in the street. Perhaps 1t
was the "lulI before the storm"
The sahib cannot bear It." a gentle
soothing voice was saying, but Mere
dith recognized the indignation mixed
with the pity in it. THE sahib will
be again sick"
Then came Meredith's establishment,
for the Crosspatch Mans voice was
answering, and it was quite calm and
gentle; and it said:
"Of course / shall be sick again,
Hari!I'ye made all my plans to perish.
But what can you expect? The little
chaps must have their Fourth o. July.
| was little chap myself-once. Shut
the window ,Hari. There's a suspicion
of a draught."
Meredith stood still in sheer amaze
ment, and watched the turban-ma
close the window. He was a little
chap himself once, the Crosspatch
Man was And how kind his voice
had sounded, too. II made his. sorry
for the crasspatch Man-sorrier than
he had ever been before.
Hes a-dreadin' it like sixty. He's
'spectin to perish" Meredith said
aloud. ITS goin' to make him sick,
of course-that's what he said to the
turban-man. An he was a little chap
once, an his voice was kind an tired
out"
Then Meredith went home and
perched himself up on the banister
post in the hall, to think. That was
where he always thought things-big
things, you know. This was, oh my,
such a big thing!
I'm capn,' unused Meredith, knit
ting his little fair brows. Il can say,
Go, an thou ghost" like the man in
the Bible; but they'll be dreadful
Disappointed the Rudd Street Seconds
will be. Sull-well, he sick an he
had a kind spot in his voice, en- he
used to be little chap too, so Of
course he used to bang things an
make noises | don't think he sound
ed much like a Crosspatch Man"
In a little while. after a little more
tough thinking, Meredith slipped
down and out of the door, up the
street He got together the Rudd
Street Seconds and made a little
speech, as a captain may to his men.
The next day the city and all Amer
lea celebrated Fourth o. July, and
Rudd Street was famous again, but
this time for being the very quietest
street in all the city! There were just
as many boys in Il, too as ever.
The Crosspatch Mans white, ner-
yous face smoothed and Gained as the
day wore on, and at last 1t actually
smiled in a gentle way, as II he was
thinking about something pleasant.
And the captain of the Rudd Street
Seconds and his brave men, drilling
and popping and banging in distant
street, were happy, too.-Annie Ham
ilton Donnell.
