VERY FEW ApPROPRIATIONs-NIT.

Very few appropriation bills have
passed into the legislature, and If
that body adjourns next Thursday
it will have made lighter demands on
the treasury than many of its prede-
ccssors. All this bowling about ex-
travagance is but the habitual cry OF
iconoclast-Columbus Commercial.
Geewhilikins! The powers of dim
mutton which some people possess is
little short of remarkable. No doubt
the writer Of the above paragraph
could take in at one sweep of his
wonderful eyes the whole state of
Mississippi. very few" may ex-
press the meaning of the Commercial,
and may be true, but no matter how
few or how many bills were passed,
the fact cannot be controverted that
the appropriations amounted to
So, 500, 0S1.62, exclusive of the new
state capital. The figures came d.
rect from the Office of the state audi
tor, and are authentic. And this
amount is carried by a very few bills.
That is all the more reprehensible, as
the money is less apt to benefit the
mass of the people. The Commercial
may be correct in its statement that
the recent legislature has made lighter
demands or the treasury than many
of its predecessors, but we are not old
enough to remember anything about
it. 1t will take a long time to con-
vince the taxpayers Of the state that
the criticism of the legislature is the
habitual cry Of the iconoclast, and
when they get through with some of
the members the population of the
Salt river section of country will be
very materially increased.

The greatest danger from colds and
la grippe is their resulting in pneu-
mOnia. If reasonable care is used,
however, and Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy taken, all danger will be avoi-
ded. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy for these
diseases, we have yet to learn Of a
single case having resulted in pneu-
monia, which shows c~onclusively that
it is a certain preventive of that dan
gerouS malady. 1t will cure a cold or
an attack of la grippe in less time
than any other treatment. 1t is plea

Many of the people Of Mississippi
are breathing an air of relief nov that
dbe legislature has adjourned. They
Eatched with eager interest the move
ments of the legislature-that power
vhich could levy tax against them.
Now it's all over; the matter is fixed;
and they go to work with ease and
comfort, with figures for a basis.
And, best of all, the legislature does
not meet again until 1904.-Meridian

The Hartford Comm COurant is
surprised that the old custom Of re-
quiring and giving personal bonds still
hOlds on. The custom, it says, should
have been abandoned as soou as the
op-to-date methods of surety compan-
aS were developed. There is no sound
neason for a personal bond nowadays.
1t is humiliating to ask for such a
ayor, and it is trying to have to re-
Ease it.

absence, for the purpose of committing
an assault on her. On their testimony
Bonnetti was held in $1,000 bail on five
charges, namely, burglary. assault and
battery. attempted criminal assault

HIGH SCHOOL CYCLE CLUB.
No Game Because of Disagreement
Picked Nine PLAYS.

The base ball game scheduled for yes
terday afternoon between the High
school and Cycle club mines failed to
materalize on account of the ina bility
of Manager Moon of the wheelmen to
accede to Manager Kilpatrick's terms.
Nevertheless. the school boys were not
to be done out of a game by an eleventh
hour refusal, and played a picked nine
instead.
Their opponents included players from
the Pets plumbers, machinists and
st. Aloysius. But this formidable ag-
gregation did not queer the students,
who started in at the beginning to fin
ish their adversaries with ungloved
hands.
On account of the lateness of the hour
only seven innings We're played, at
which stage the score showed IA decided
advantage for the students, the result
being % to IA.
A large assemblage witnessed the
contest among whom We're many up
holders of the red and blue, who used
their vocal organs to good advantage
in behalf of their representatives.
Raynor ofiiciated in the box for the
students and did well, striking out
eight men during the game.
The school manager has received
many communications from outside
schools. but prefers to engage the home
teams in order that school boys may
substantially prove their superiority.
