The tendency to take advantage Of
ones fellows is pretty strong in human
nature and is by no means confined to
coal bdrons" or the heads of soul
less corporations" An example is seen
in the action of dealers in wood in the
big cities in putting a famine price up
on this form of fuel before the demand
has become large enough 10 create any
scarcity. Not only the great capital
lists but the business men and day la
borers are quick to take advantage Of
their fellow man when they have him
IN their power. This is simply Il weak
point in the character Of mankind
which the prevalence Of Christianity
has not removed, ana it will never be
Iemcdied by the denunciations of dem
agogues and professional agitators or
by methods of retaliation.

Some recently published statistics
for the year 1899 show a most melan-
choly increase in the drunkenness of
the English people. particularly among
the women. We pride ourselves that
the cause of temperance in this couu
try is advancing, but unless these fig
ures lie it is losing much ground in
England. Surely the statistics show a
most deplorable condition of things
among the women of that country. a
condition for which there is not the be-
ginning OF a parallel in the Unitai
states. The English courts in 1899 dis

Weep not the years
The bitter storm and trouble of the
past.
Life will not thank thee for thy tenderest
tears;
Take heart-take hope at last,
Let not thy sighs
Make sad the music Of earths briefest

The light is shining in Loves unveiled

Behold:-thc mornings ray.
The valleys yiolets glcam:
\ song is ringing from the sea-swept

Sorrow is but the echo of a dream
Joy on the Morning hills.

"The State of Mississippi is build

icated to the great men of our State

they may serve as an inspiration to
those who come after. We of the
South now realize the greatness and
goodness and grandness of the char
acter of President Abraham Lin
coin, your honored father, and
would honor his memory. Our
own Lee has been given place in
the temple of fame located on the
other side of Mason and Dixon's
line and his name stands with that
OF Lincoln. Your father belongs
to the worlds immortals, and moth
ing that we could do would add to
his fame. We can, however, show
our respect and love for him. Per-
NIT me, therefore, in the name of
the State, to invite you to place
portrait of President Lincoln in the
new capitol of Mississippi, that it
may symbolic his love for his coun-
try. his devotion to duty and his
heartfelt sympathy for the Southern
people. Your cooperation and as
sistance will be most heartily appre-
ciated."
The reply of Mr.. Lincoln came
