POLITICAL DRIFT.

The Ohio republicans are har-
monious; but none of the harmony is
genuine without Mark Hanna's sigma
ture on the label.-Albany Argus.
Secretary Root cannot forgive
Miles, of course. The revelations OF
the conduct of the war in the Philip
pines have put the s%ecretary's CORE
s~pondence with Miles in a ridiculous
light.-Indianpolis News Qnd.).
President Roosevelt knows too
much about politics to lay much stress
on anything complimentary to him
in the resolutions Of the Ohio republic
an convention. There will be men
at Cleveland who "smile, and murder
while they smile."-Cincinnati En-
quirer.
Statesmen who constantly quote
the late president Mckinley are max
ing the mistake of alleging private
conversations that belle his public nj
terances. The rest of the country
knows just as well as to certain re-
publican senator's that he said: Fore
ible annexation is criminal aggres'
sion."-Detroit Free Press.
To the trusts, which he so strenu-
ously upholds both in and Il OF con-
gress, he turns for the necessary cam
paign funds: to the laborers he turns
for votes. This sort of political policy
has been sometimes called by s%coflers
carrying water on both shoulders
Whether this can be lone successfully
can be better known Ammo Domini 1904.
1t is not surprising that Senator
Hanna has declined to take charge OF
the republican congressional cam
paign. His plea of too much WORK Is
an excuse which many other Of the ola
Mckinley politicians will use during
the next few months when they are
asked to get out and hustle. As shrewd
prophets they realize that little less
than a miracle will save the republicans
during the congressional fight. sena-
tor Hanna does not care to identity
himself with a lost cause.-St. LOUIS
Republic.
THE republican party Is held to-
gether by the mutual attachment OF its
members to a system which rob- the
masses in the interests of combined
capital, and it would be politictl suicide
for the republican party to meddls
with present tariff rates. The tarih
must be revised by the democrats
party If II is ever to be revised at a
and the ooner the voters get this IN
their heads the sooner conditions "
be brought back TO the normal ANDY
markets will be governed by thel
nomic laws OF supply and demaD

Liquor Ordered Destroyed.

In the cases of the liquors taken
by Sheriff Harding of Kinds county
from the Jackson clubs in the recent
raid, Justice Fitzgerald held that the
ailidavits of the clients for the goods
found in the Elks' Club and the Co.
lumbia Club were insufficient, and
the court ordered that the liquors be
destroyed as the law directs. The
attorneys against the clubs served
notice on the claimants to produce
their Federal revenue licenses, books
and invoices and all correspondence
in relation to the liquors and the
transactions by which it is obtained
and dispensed. The court, however,
did not act upon the notice to pro-
duce the papers.

In its project to establish a farm
for consumptives near Denver. the
Colorado Y. NJ. c. A. seems to have
undertaken a praiseworthy work. A
large number Of young men of limit
ed means go to Colorado every year
in search of health. 1t is proposed to
give them a place where they may
stay at small ost and where those
who are able may find ~out-of-door
work. Sixty acres of land has been
secured ear Denver. Tents are to
be erected for 30 men. If additional
funds can be raised quarters for 200

THE TARIFF AND THE TRUSTS.
Paramount Nature of This Issue HaA
Been Made Plain to the
People

From Washington comes the an
nouncement that the executive COM
mittee of the democratic congressional
committee is considering plans for max
ing the trusts and tariff the leading is
sue of the coming campaign for the
election of representatives in the ma
tional congress.
The democratic party has every
thing to gain from a campaign con-
Quoted on the issue, says the st. Louis
Republic. Indeed, the situation is that
the people themselves are debating
the issue for the political struggle of
this year and of 1904. They have come
TO see SO clearly the truth that the
tariff imposes a heavy burden upon
them for the exclusive benefit of the
trusts that the paramount nature of
this issue is made absolutely certain.
They have learned, through the beef
trusts greed and arrogance, the ul-
innate evil of the trust system to
such a convincing extent that they
demand with irresistible insistence the
correction of trustism by means of a
revision of the tariff that shall destroy
the trust %monopolies of products and
markets.
The democratic party will meet the
people half way by making the con-
sressional campaign on the tariff
trusts issue. There is no hope of re-
publican action against the trusts or
for revision of the tariff. That party
is so completely under the dominance
Of trust magnates that its usefulness
to the people is gone. It is the party
of the trusts and of the burdensome
tariffs which create the trusts, and 1t
must be removed from power in the
government as the first step toward re-
lief from tariff taxation and trustism.
Never before in this country has there
been so distinct an alignment of the
people against a favored and priv
ileged class as is now witnessed.
The democratic congressional COM
mittee should by all means make trusts
and the tariff the paramount issue of
the approaching campaign. The cam
paign literature, the work of demo-
cratic speakers and of democratic
newspapers, must all deal aggressive
ly with this issue. The American peo-
pie are determined upon relief from
trustism and the tariff and the national
democracy must lead the movement
which shall terminate in victory for
the people.

The mean temperature averaged
about 4 degrees above normal, says
the weekly crop review by the Missis-
sippi division of the weather bureau.
On the 9Th maximum temperature
reached or exceeded 100 degrees at
several places in the central and
northern portions of the State. Mod
crate showers fell in the extreme
northern counties during the first Of
the week, but over the remainder Of
the State only a few light scattered
showers occurred.
The week was favorable for farm
work and good progress was made
in the cultivation of crops, which are
generally clean and, on the whole,
making a fair growth. Over the east
ern half of the State, and in some Of
the southwestern counties, there is
considerable complaint of continued
dry weather, which has cut short the
oat crop and is checking the growth
of corn, while over the remainder of
the State conditions r quite favor
able, although a good rain would be
beneficial.
Over a greater portion of the State
cotton is very promising; it i:
healthy, making a fine growth, and
in the southern counties is beginning
to bloom. Owing to the very dry
weather in the e~ast-central anc
northeastern counties the staple il
not doing so well, and in a few local
tiles it is much in need of more mois
ture. Lice, although less damaging
than last week, are still doing som,
harm in the southern portions of tn
State.
Laying by corn is general ant
where moisture is sufficient for ger
mination the planting of COW pea
continues.
Dat harvest is about completed
south and generally in progress
north. The yield is very light.
Irish potatoes are being dug anC
are yielding well. Sweet potatoe
are making a satisfactory growth
Haying is in progress in severa
counties. Gardens and pastures ar
suffering for rain.

AGAINST TARIFF FOR TRUSTS
Western Republicans VINO fAsoi
Free-Listing Monopoly-Con-
troIIed Products.

1t seems that Representative BAD
cocks constituency is not the only re-
publican constituency in Wisconsin
that objects to a tariff whose chief
function is to arm trusts with power
to exact IS from Americans for an ar
ticle which they are glad to sell TO lot
eigners for So.
The constituency represented IN tne
house by j. j. jenkins, republican, nave
their opinion about this kind Of a tariff.
In their recent convention they adopt
ed a resolution in which they declare
| that the industries of the country have
outgrown the needs of a protective tar
if. In proof of this proposition they
submit the notorious fact that our
manufacturers are competing success
fully in the markets of the world, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
They therefore declare that they
"favor a revision of the tariff without
unreasonable delay, which will place
upon the free list every article anu
product controlled by any monopoly,
and such other articles and products
as are beyond the reach of protection
No doubt there are other republican
constituencies in the west which are
ready or getting ready to express
themselves to.this effect. Certain de
l%iverances of the republican governor
of Iowa in his message last January
imply that in the opinion of that of
fetal a great many republicans II
that state are not willing to be blet
for the purpose of securing foreign
markets for the protected classes
after having been bled for 40 years
to secure for them the home market
What these western constituencies
have yet to learn is that the western
republicans are not the republican
party and will not be consulted t
any great extent when it comes t.
deciding what it's tariff policy vii
be.
They have yet to learn that TO
the last quarter of a century a
least the policy of their party ha
been shaped in all particulars t
suit the interest of the classes whic-
are protected by the tariff or othe
legislative devices in getting posses
sion of a portion of the earnings o
others to which they are not justl
entitled and for which they rende
no equivalent.
They have yet to learn that !
they wish to be delivered out of tn
hands of robbers they must asso
ciate themselves with a party whic'
does not uphold legalized robber,
on the plea of necessity or on an,
other plea whatsoever.
If they wish to escape smallpo
they must not put themselves in TIL
hands of doctors who will expos
them to the %contagion.
, If they wish to safeguard then
selves against grand larceny the
must not applaud and encourag
larceny in any degree.
If they wish to protect their pro-
erty against further tariff pillag
they must attack the entire systel
l of pillage from end to end and frol
top to bottom.

Work has begun on the Yazoo &
Belzoni railroad, a gap of about
twenty-five miles, which will connect
the city of Yazoo with the Delta rail
road, and will be pushed to compile
ton within twelve months. The
work includes a 240-foot bridge
across the Yazoo river at a point
about five miles from Yazoo, and the

Mormons to Canvass tho State.

The Mormons seem to have come
to the conclusion that the State of
Mississippi is a fertile field, and
have sent a score or more of elders to
work it up. They have just held a
State conference in Jefferson county,
which was presided over by Elder
Ben Rich, one of the most distin-
guished members of that church, and
at which territory was apportioned.
The elders will now make a thorough
canvass of the State, travelling two
by two. They never ask for fnan-
cial assistance, and as a general
thing do not need money, as there
are few country homes at which even
a Mormon cannot get food and lodg-
ing for the night. However, when
necessary, they pay the cash, and
seem to be well provided with funds.

Through the board Of supervisors

of Monroe county Inc war uepait
ment has notified the Southern
Bridge Company of Birmingham to
remove Instructions to navigation IN
the Tombigbee river at the Amory
bridge. United States engineers have
inspected the bridge and river chan
mel and reported that the piles driven
temporarily for the construction OF
the bridge have not been properly re-
moved but were sawed off at low
water and the stumps at a low stage
become a dangerous obstruction to
navigation. The bridge was built
with a draw span, in 1898, and has
been a matter of litigation from the
act of letting the contract. The bid
ders were warned by counsel that the
order Of the board of supervisors for
its construction was in violation Of
the law, but they accepted the con-
tract and proceeded to build the
bridge. The payments were enJoined
by the taxpayers and the injunction
was sustained by the Circuit Court.
1t was carried to the Supreme Court,
where the lower court was affirmed,
and has since appeared in some shape
in the United States District Court,
