at variance with the voters.
Over 100 republican nominees for
congress, if honest should take the
same step. Grosvenor and others of
Ohio; Hemenway and Lands and Over
street, of Indiana; Loudenslager and
others in New Jersey, and so the lists
of states might be gone through.
Nearly every congressman from Iowa,
if honest, would step aside. All these
and others know that tariff reform
sentiment is overwhelming in the CEN
trail and western states. President
Roosevelt also has discovered, even in
New England, that tariff-reform senti-
ment was rampant, but he did not have
the pluck of Henderson,. He looked for
a way to evade the issue that he knew
was right and ON the side of the people.
His conscience told him that he should
boldly champion their cause against
the trusts and corporations. But he
needed it not and called in the chosen
protection advocates, knowing what
their advice would be before he
asked it.
The senatorial junta that controls
legislation, through their power as
chairmen of the important commit
tees, decided of course, that reform of
tn. tariff must not be an issue. The
president must go to the western
states and make no promise of relief
from the real cause OF the enormous
prices OF the necessaries of life. Thus
tho trusts have the president gagged,
HIS talks to the people with be stified
by the orders OF the senatorial junta.
The coincidence Of the announcement
of the retirement Of Henderson at the
very time the senator's were persuad-
ing the president to forego tariff dis
cussions, is so remarkable that it-fs

United States mails be denied to

that the insuring public be protected
against them. Although none Of

to the knowledge Of this department

5hocking Accident.

A shocking accident occurred at
Water Valley last week which re-
suited in the death of Mrs. Mont
gomery, one of the oldest and most
estimable ladies of the community.
While looking through some old pa
pers she ran across an old 32-calibcr
derringer pistol, relic in her fam
lily, which she had not seen for twen-
tv years and which had not been used
in that time. 1t did not occur to
her that it was loaded, and as soon
as her eyes discovered it she picked
it up and playfully snapped it at
G. B. Mcmahon, a young man who
boards in her house. He took the
weapon from her, and while examin-
ing the condition of barrels and the
mechanism Of the gun, it fired, in
flicting q fatal wound.

Dsnlsss % Crops.

The continued rains in the Delta

damage TO the cotton in the field,
snd the picking Of the crop is get
ting considerably behind. It is esti-
loated by planters Of ability that the
loss since the first ofsthe season will
amount to more than one third right
l,ow. The question Of weathex.is be-
ginning to b : serious one with the
large planters, and unless the price
Of the staple rises in proportion to
the loss the present crop will not
balance their accounts, which have
been made necessarily large owing 70
the short corn crop Of last year,
causing their feed and meat expense

Iron Ore FOund.

Yazoo county is rejoicing in the
prospect of new industry which is
likely to open new store of wealth
to her. Recently ledge of iron ore
was discovered near Satartia, which
has been passed upon by an expert
as ore of the finest quality. He pro-
nounces it red, or hematite ore, and
states that the ore is superior to the
average findings that are used COM
mercially. The only question raised
is as to the quantity, and whether
the'vein runs deep enough and broad
enough to make it pay. Splendid
iron ores are to be found in many
parts Of North Mississippi, and it
has been said that if Mississippi were
isolated from the rest Of the world
she could make all Of the iron uten-
sils she might need.

To Estsblish Cotton Factories.
A New York syndicate Of capital
lists interested in the textile industry,
| will send representative to Missis-
sippi next month for the purpose Of
touring the State to encourage inter-
est in the establishment of cotton
factories. ~,
The plan of the syndicate is to

ing cotton mill enterprises in con-
| temptation, and to subscribe from
twenty to fifty per cent of the cap
ital stock Of such companies where
assurances are given that the man
agement will be placed in the hands
of experienced men.
The. company has abundant re-
sources to assists in establishing q
dozen or more mills in Mississippi,
and is strongly endorsed by Prof.
Arthur Whittam, director of the tex
tile school at the Mississippi Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College.
The general plan il to establish
small mills having from 5000 to
10000 spindles, such concerns Civ
ing employment to from five hum
dred to one thousand people.
Prof. Whittam is also interesting
capital from other sources in cotton
mill building in Mississippi, and he
has set about the work of encourag-
ing the establishment of factories in
active earnest. The textile school
will graduate men capable of taking
hold and managing the mills and he

Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1902-02-08

The decision Of President Roose-
welt in the matter of Admiral Schley
will be announced soon, and will be
it is stated, in accord with the
majority OF the Court of Inquiry and
the naval clique which dominated
st. If reported correctly. in the
opinion of Teddy, the battle of San.
rlagO de Cuba, was not only fought
in accordance with plans prepared
and adopted by Sampson but he,
though ten miles or more away
while the battle was being waged
and never at the scene of action un-
til Spanish squadron was destroyed,
was actually in command OF
the American forces on the day.
The President may be honest
in the conclusion at which he
mas arrived, but the folly of it will
be too apparent to the American
people for them to accept it as corr
rect. Inelr verdict IN TACT, as shown
by the ovations which Admiral
Schley is receiving everywhere he
goes, has already been rendered and
cannot be changed, Teddy to the
contrary Notwithstanding, nor is it
possible that the reputation Of
Schley will suffer, when the true
history of the battle of Santiago is
written because of the false page
which be, either through ignorance
or envy, has contributed to it.

The battle is now on in the Con-
stitutionsl Convention, between
those who favor the adoption of
some provision by the Convention
for the protection of the people
against corporations and those who
in the interest of the corporations
say, that while it is right for the
State to supervise them, that the
adoption of any plan, which will
give the State the power to control
their operations, will be hurtful to
the material interests of Virginia.
The battle began on Tuesday with
a speech by Hon. Carter Braxton in
explanation of the report of the cor
poration commission and has since
been discussed by Eppa Hunter, Jr.,
in opposition to and Judge Ingram
in favor of it. The struggle will last
many days and how it will be deter
mined, of course. cannot be predict
ed with certainty, but there ought
not TO be much doubt what the final
result will be. The railroads with
all their powerful il fluence and the
men of ability who will represent
them in the Convention ought not
TO have more influence with the
members of the Convention than
those from whom they derive their
power, and it is fair to presume that
the report of the corporation com
mission, in the interest of the people,
will prevail That it will be hurtful
TO the material interests of the State
if it does, rs predicted by the repre-
sentatives of the railroads. no one
can believe, IN the light of the state
ment made by Mr.. Braxton in his
speech, that Virginia, which has a
commission with practically no pow
ers, there had been less than twenty
five miles of railroad built last year,
while in States where there were
stringent laws with regard to corpo-
rations there was vast contrast
Texas, for Instance, with very strict
laws, had five hundred and eighty
three miles built last year II about
so in other States south of Virginia. "
1t does not follow of course, as the
extract from Mr.. Braxton's speech
shows, that the people in having pro-
lection against corporations should
be unjust to them, nor is it TO their
interest that they should be.
