SOME DARN FOOLS.

The New Orleans States very SEN
sibly states in the following editorial
some truths that would be we'll to
preserve for the next presidential
campaign:
San American who needs type
writer these days must pay 800 for a
machine that is sold to foreigners for
$50. In buying the wire nails he
pays 1925 per keg, although the for
eigner must pay only $l.30 per keg.
The American woman who purchases
a sewing machine pays $40 for it, and
the same machine is sold. to her
European sister for SIT. The Ameri-
can retailer pays $3.50 per dozen for
shovels, the price of which to the
European retailer is $3.50 per dozen.
If you want an alarm clock you must
pay 80 cents for it. but a European
gets it for 30 cents. These are the
prices specified on the discount sheets
of American trusts as charged re-
spectively to American and Euro
peau buyers. They are but a few OF
many kindred instances of the dis
elimination made against the Amer
lean buyer by the American trusts.
The reason the trusts can do this is
because the Dingley tariff protects
them In monopolies which place the
American buyers at their mercy,
Aren't we an amazingly foolish peo-
pie IN maintaining this Dingley tariff
and so keeping ourselves at the mer-
cy of the tariff-created trusts?n

New York and New Orleans are
having discussion as to which is
the bigger liar. New York has put
out the report that in all probability
when the river rises again it will
break the levees in front of New Or
leans when 100000 peple will be
drowned. 1t seems to be certain that
this will occur soon and it advises
the people of the Crescent City to
fee for their lives. To get even New
Orleans has put out the report that
Judging from scientific view, New
York is soon to be wiped from the
face of the earth by an earthquake,
and Philadelphia viii also so with it.
In the meantime Annanias turned
over in his grave twice and Lamar
Fontaine is wondering why he was
so neglected. as to not warn the peo-
pie of these two cities of these calam-
tiles long before, he knowing full
well that they would take place.

William G. WhitDey says the dem
ocratic party has no "no issue and no
man." That may be true now, for
the past six years it had too much of
an Issue and man taken from the
populite party. But both are dead
now and the party with the aid of
McAllister of the "free state OF
Madison" will begin to pull itself
together.

KILLINGS AND HANGINGs.

Notwithstanding there have been
about two dozen legal hangings in
this state within seven months
killings continue and hardly day
passes that some one is not slain by
his fellowman. A mania for muir
derlng seems to have gotten hold of
the people and they either cannot
help from killing or they have no
fear of the law or death.
But in proportion to the present
population of the state there may be
no more homicides than there were
years ago. Since telegraph wires
and railroads now run through nearly
every county in the state it is almost
impossible for murder to occur
without it's being given the widest
circulation and hence it appears that
there are many more occurring now
than heretofore when such killings
were hardly heard outside of the
neighborhood. Now if in the re-
hottest part of the state murder is
committed it is wired all over the
state and every country cross-road
newspaper publishes it. Hence eve
rybody knows 1T and everybody
talks it and it makes 1T appear that
there are hundreds where thirty or
forty years ago there was but one.
But there is no greater number of
killings in Mississippi than in other
states, but here of late there have
been more legal hangings. The laws
of the state in this regard have been
better executed of recent date than
ever before and in consequence there
have been more legal hangings.

The Progress of the New Meat der

ger.
In the excitement over the election
returns the fact that the new meat
mergers organiza tion is being openly
pushed regardless of Mr.. KnoX'S in
junction proceedings has almost es-
capped attention.
Even President Roosevelt cannot
complain of lack of publicity" in the
interesting preparations of the new
merger to make the old beef trust 5
monopoly more perfect. With charm
ing candor its promoters have given
out semi-official statement of their
plans for the press. According to the
New \ DIRK World the capitalization of
the steel mergers duplicate in meat is
put at $5OO,OOO,OOO. OF this amount
500, 100000 is to be in bonds and the
balance half in preferred and half in
common stock. The National City
bank, representing the ROckefellers,
is to underwrite the bonds, just as the
Morgan syndicate underworld the
steel mergers bonds.
The new combine with the money
furnished by the bond syndicate, Will
says the semi-Official prospectus, take
over the Union Stock yards at Chi.
cago and the yards at South Omaha
St. Joseph, Kansas City and East st
Louis. This it is calmly announced
will give the combination complete
control of the packing market and
shut out any independent competitor
from operating in the yards"

General Knox doing, or going to dc

The South Bend Tribune says Prof.
Herring, the democratic nominee fol
congress was red hot republican in
1894. This probably accounts for the
republicanism in his speech accepting
the nomination. On the question OF
trusts Mr. Herring takes radical fepub.
lican ground. He also declared that
no party applying the principles of gov.
eminent that existed fifty years age
to the present, can hope to succeed.
He says what was best for this cOun-
try in the days of Jefferson, Madison
and Monroe are not worth anything
now, and that parties. like individ-
uals must keep up with the times.
Teis is republican doctrine but it
sounds very strange to old democrats
who have always worshiped at the
shrine of Jefferson and Jackson.
