TOUR OF THE WORLD.

The Aerial Excursion given by
the senior class on the evening of
December 9th was a success in
every way. Robert Bager acted as
ticket agent and as you entered the
sFrolic Chas. Knox took each
ticket and Clipped it. Hubert Peavy,
the colored porter, was the most
striking figure seen during the
excursion and was very accommo-
dating and polite to all passengers.
If tips had been allowed heswould
have received many. There were
20 cities, States, etc, represented
on the journey. The start was
made at Redwood and then began
the trip around the world. a hub
with most Of the spokes gone repre-
sented Boston and a large g covered
with red paper represented the Red
Sea.
Refreshments were served after.
the passengers were tired Of sight
seeing and all will agree in saying
that the dining service was perfect.
After refreshments were served
all were glad to make a change to
games, which were made success
particularly by Joe Chadderdon
and Rollard Lutz, who took special
part il that work
At about 10 q clock Red dwood Falls

CHILDISH NUMMERIES,

How far apart we are in ideas from
the worn-out old world is grOtesquely IL
Illustrated by the absurd solcmnity of the
preparations for King Edwards corona
ton. AS Il matter of fact, the King 0f
England is incomparably less of ruler
than the President of the United States.
He has not a thousandth part of the pow
er, and his coronation is therefore that
much less of an important event. Yet
the Privy Council, which corresponds to
our Cabinet, has been sitting in solemn
session to determine such privileges as
these:
The Duke of Norfolk to act as Chief
Butler for England: the Duke of Somer-
set to carry the orb; the Earl of Enroll
to have the silver baton, tipped with gold;
Lord Gray de Ruthyn to carry the golden
spurs: Col. Brown, to carry the canopy
over the King and Queen; the Earl Of
Shrewsbury to provide the glove for the
Kings right hand; and support the hand
while holding the Scepter; Sir Wyndham
Anstruther, Grand Carver for Scotland
Think of our Cabinet laboring for weeks
bordering and discussing whether the
Governor of North Carolina or the Gov
crnor of South Carolina should carry the
VI
President McKinley's Inauguration; what
Governor should be allowed to carry the
pad on which the President writes; what
Senator should be permitted to carry a
stick wrapped with silver paper with gold
at the end. and whether it should not be
wrapped with gold paper with silver at
the end; what one should hold the Bible
when the President took the oath, and
what one should stand near holding the
White House carving knife. fork and steel,
and which one the White House dishc cloth
and towels.
Think Of elderly. educated, dignified
men. leaders in society, angrily cOntending
for these privileges.
Yet the English people are the most
cool-headed, prOsaic and business-like Of
any in Europe. And they are going to pay
some S5,000,000 of the Taxpayers money
not voluntary contributions, as our In
augpral festivities are, but money gathered
up by the collectors, and taken out Of the
Treasury to encourage such ridiculous
mummerieS as this
Then they wonder why Americans are
Outstripping the world.
The more peoples mind are taken up
with such fOllies as this the less they will
nave for the really valuable, useful, grace
full and fner things of life. Let them 90
ahead. We can stand it very well to have
them waste their energies this way

MISSISSIPPI sTHTIsTICs

Now Mississippi is writing her history,
and claiming TO have sent 5000 regu-
larry enlisted soldiers into the rebel army,
ont of Il total military population of TO-
29J i'll 1860. This was beside the ilrcgu-
lar troops, of which Mississippi had several
brsadcs. 1t is also claimed that Yankee
bullets were very much more fatal than
would be admitted during the war. and
the Yankees fought with savage persist
ence. The Nicksburg Cadets went out
125 strong, and but six returned The
Nicksbrg Sharpshootcrs went out l2I
strong; but one came home. OF 125 men
OF the Whitman Guard, but - survived.
These are cXaggerations, of Course: there
Is never anything accurate about South
crn sO-called history, but they show that
the Mississippians were far from having
the picnic they had been promised in
whipping the Yankees. 1t is estimated
that fully One-fourth of the MississiD-
plans who entered the rebel army were
dead before the war closed. The 9Th
Miss. lost 800 out of the 400 men it took
into Shiloh; the 18th Miss. lost G3 per
cent. Of the men it took into Antictam:
and the 29th Miss. lost 53 per cent. at
Chickamauga. As late as January, 1864,
Mississippi still had 66,9S2 men on the
rebel mustcr-rolls. As Mississippi had
about one-fiftcenth the population of the
Southern Confederacy, it would follow
that if the other rebel States had proper
tionately as many men that the rebels
entered the great final campaign with
fully 100000 men under arms.
As we have frequently said before, we
can safely trust State pride to correct the
foolish claim that the Southern Confed-
eracy had but 100000 men in its armies.

STILL PLAYING TO THE GALLERY.

Nothing will cure Mr.. Evans of play
ing to the rampant soldicrhaters.
In our issue of May 9 we gave an ac-
count of the way the Commissioner had
been turned down very hard in the case
of a poor old widow of most respectable
character, Mrs Maxim Dal;icn. whom he
had dropped from the rolls on the unsup-
ported evidence of n drunken reprobate
who had the shamclcSSncss to swear to
his own criminal relations with her. Such
evidence would he spurncd by any jury
in the country. especially as it was clearly
shown that the raScalS animuS was due
to Il dispute about property. Assistant
Secretary Campbell appropriately scored
the evidence. and returned the case to the
Commissioner for further consideration
The Commissioner persisted in his action,
and the Assistant Secretary has again
oyerruled him, pointing out the criminal
woIthlesSncsS of the evidence upon which
the Commissioner based his action. The
widow is able to show by the testimony
of neighbors with whom she has lived
all her life her modest, virtuous, loyal
character, and that ut the time the
drunken rascal alleges notorious adul-
ferrous cohabitation' she was living blame
lesSly with her grown-up children, one
of whom was married and had children.
Yet to make Il showing of saving the
s.; week 10 which this poor old woman
was lawfully entitled, Mr.. Evans does
not hesitate to blast her character, and
put the stigma of shame upon her chill
dren and grandchildren.
The case needs no further comment.

MORE HOPEFUL INpIcATIoN>.

The terrible drouth in the West has
been broken by copious showers. and the
whole horizon out there looks far brighter
than ii did 4 few weeks ago.
The rains have come in time to pro-
duce an abundant growth of forage,
which will carry the stock through the
rest of the year, and thus save drafts
upon the scanty corn crop.
While the damage has been fearful, it
is nothing like so serious as at first feared.
There have been magnificent crops of
wheat, oats and hay, which win bring
good prices, on account Of the lamentable
crop failures in Europe-paticularl in
Russia, which Of late years has been our
most formidable competitor in the grain
markets.
The loss Of corn has been estimated ut
312,0OO,000 bushels, which is, after ali.
but one-eighth Of the crop in good years.
The loss will be minimized by the exu-
berant growth of forage, which will grow
now as it rarely does.
