Some Talk to / hat Effect INDUCED
In Regarding the "Shoe-
string" District.

vicksburg, March lin discussing
the reapportionment of this state, some
talk has been caused by the suggestion
that Warren county be ousted from the
Third Congressional District, This dis
trict is composed of the counties of
Tunica, Coahoma, Quitman, Bolivar,
Sunfower, Leflore, Washington, Shar-
key and Warren.
This district, known from its length
as the "Shoestring District borders
the Mississippi river from near the
Tennessee line on the north to Clai-
borne county on the south, being ada
cent to the river for two-thtrds OF its
distance alongside the state. The ques-
tion of levee protection has always been
considered of most vital interest to the
district, and the districts represents
tive in congress has always been urged
to look out for these interests.
II Warren county is ousted or the
district otherwise broken up the mat

likely be used as an argument to keeI
the district intact.

McKINLEY'S. INAUGURAL AD-
DRESS,
my Fellow-C Citizens When we as
sembled here on the 4th of March, 1897,
there was great anxiety with regard to
our currency and credit. None exists
now. Then our treasury receipts were
inadequate to meet the current obliga-
tions OF the government. Now they
are sufficient for all public needs, and
We have a surplus, instead of deficit.
Then felt constrained to convene con-
gress in extraordinary session to devise
revenues to pay the ordinary expendi-
lures of the government. Now | have
the satisfaction to announce that the
congress Just closed has reduced taxa
tion in the sum of S4l, 100000. Then
there, was deep solioltude because OF
the long depression in our manufactur-
ing, mining, agricultural and mercan-
tile industries, and the consequent dis
tress of our laboring population. Now
every avenue of production is crowded
with activity, labor is well employed
and American products find good mark
cts at.home and abroad Our diversi-
fed productions, however, are increas-
ing in such unprecedented volume as to
admonish us of the necessity of still
further enlarging our foreign markets
by broader commercial relations. For
this purpose reciprocal trade arrange
ments with other nations should in lib
eral spirit be carefully cultivated and
promoted. 3
1.-THE national verdict of 1896 has for
/, the most part been executed. What
ever remains untitled is continuing
obligation resting with undiIninished
force upon the executive and the CON
| gress. But fortunate as our condition
| is, its permanence can only be assured
by sound business methods and strict
economy in -uational administration
and legislation. We should not per-
NIT our great prosperity to lead us tC
lreckless ventures in business or profit
gacy in public expenditures. While
the congress determines the objects
and the sum Of appropriations, the on

The faith Of the fathers was mighty

their descendants has wrought it's pro-

They are obstructlonists who despair

the ability Of our people to solve wisely

that we lose our own liberties by sccur-
ing the enduring foundationsof liberty
to others.
1--WE are undergoing the same ordeal
as did our predecessors nearly CEN
tury ago. We are following the course
they blazed They triumphed. WIN
their successors falter and plead or
ganic impotency in the nation? Surely,
after 125 years OF achievement for
mankind, we will not now surrender
our equality with other powers on
matters fundamental and essential to
nationality. With no such purpose
was the nation created. In no such
spirit hasi it developed its full and in
dependent sovereignty. We adhere TO
the principle Of equality among our
selves and BY no act Of ours viii we as
sign to ourselves d subordinate rank Ia

A SPARTAN.

There is an old man of sixty-eight in
jail at Scranton. Pa. who has been
there for nearly seven years for con-
tempt of court. In 1893 James Cannon
was sued for the possession of IS. 900
worth of land. He lost the suit but re-
fused to sign the deed of conveyance
rs directed by the court and was
thrown into Jail for contempt. where
he has since remained. The man who
sued Cannon and the judge who COM
mitted him both have since died.
The other day a special bill to leg
islate the old man out of prison was
passed by the Pennsylvania Legisia-
ture and it only awaits the signature of
the Governor to make Mr.. Cannon a
free man. But the old fellow is still
unbending and will accept his freedom
as his right. In response to . suggest

That talented writer. Anna Farqu-
har, whose Boston Experiences" COM
prehensively reviewed in these columns
some time ago. was received with such
satisfaction by the reading public. has
just published, through l.. c. Page &
Co. of Boston, another notable volume
under the title of The DEVILS Plough"
Decidedly historic in its nature. the
volume deals with a closely interviewer
narrative embracing the French court
of Anne of Austria and Mazarine, the
period of Jesuit d~ecadence in France,
and the most stirring scenes Of life in
the New World in the early days of the
development of the country. "The
Devils Plough" is a book of more than
usual interest, and one evidently des-
tined to become popular through in
trinsie literary merit. The chief scenes
are laid at the French court during the
regency. but there are well drawn pic
lures OF American life. indicating close
familiarity with condiIon now happily

ridors Of his Being. After he had
had thought about them for a while,
they would seem to be about the size
of Oyster Grabs and sometimes it
seemed to him he could feel their lit
tie Claws tickle when they were doing
a Mobile Buck on the cleaning Surface
of his Diaphram. He wondered what
would happen to him when all of them
started to Gnaw their way out.
He began to wear a haggard, perse-
cuted Look. The Microbes were hiding
at every Corner, waiting to pounce out
at him. In order to be able to stand
them off, he consulted the Authorities
and found that it vas No Use. The
crafty little Creatures were floating
around in the Air and the only way
to Battle them was to breathe through
a Sieve. They were camped o by the
Millions on a moldy Piece of Bread,
while one Cubic inch of Roquefort
Cheese contained 14,500,0G0 Of them,
many of them Bearded and wearing

This Man became so worried and
apprehensive that he could not sleep
of Nights. So he began to read UP
on Nervousness and learned that he
would have to let up on Tea and Cef-
fee and Cigars and Pastry and nearly
everything else that he really liked.
He put himself on a Diet Of Asbestos
Breakfast Biscuit, and some other
kind of Health Fodder which resem-
bled the Excelsior Packing that
comes around Lamp Chimneys. When
he was Thirsty ne had a little Sterii-
izeu Milk or a nice refreshing Cup
of would-be limitations Coffee, made out
OF parched Barley. He began to take
his Temperature and examine his
Blood under a Microscope. When he
discovered that a minute form Of Tad

and ordered a fresh lot of Insect Pow
