Ach Wilhelm, bruder Wilhelm,
That America is fine;
Ach Wilhelm, lieber Wilhelm,
| surely had a time.
The citizens Of America,
Can certainly entertain;
They always kept me going,
In sunshine and in rain.
Ach Wilhelm, bruder Wilhelm,
Their banquets and parades;
Ach Wilhelm. lieber Wilhelm,
They play fine s%erenades.
The ladies are the n~eatest,
Put on the greatest style;
Their voices are the sweetest,
They always gave a smile.
Ach Wilhelm, bruder Wilhelm,
Their buildings are so high;
Ach Wilhelm, lieber Wilhelm,
They almost touch the sky.
The scenery is the grandest,
That ever l did see;
The breezes are the blandest,
AS freshing as can be.
When at St. Louis | took a drive,
To far famed Forest Park;
That's where the Great Worlds Fair will
be,
Some did to me Remark.
From what I've seen, from what I've
heard,
1t surely will be grand;
And in the year nineteen and three
They'll startle all the land.
Ach Wilhelm, bruder Wilhelm,
Of Germans there's a lot;
Ach Wilhelm, lieber Wilhelm,
There's more than we have got.
Ach Wilhelm, bruder Wilhelm,

It simply beat them all.

The folks Of me, a snap shot took;
And every time | came or went,

IT is not improbable that the next

those conditions, which a dozen years
ago created populism. The difficulty
the p~lutocracy experienced in 1896 In
defeating free coinage and other none

by Democrats and Populists, frightened
them so thoroughly, that to make the

The REGISTER believes in every Demo-

questions, on all candidates for politi-
cal preferment. To be an intelligent
Democrat one must have views and
opinions, and If he be a sincere Demo-
crat he will seek to advance them-at
the proper time and place. That his
view and his opinion will not always
obtain, is absolutely sure, and when
such is the case his duty is plain: not
to desert the party nearest his heart
and aid the other fellows whose every
contention is against all that he holds
politically righteous, but TO ''pick his
flint and try it again. with those who,
although opposed to him in this one
instance, are mainly friendly to him
and his desires. The writer probably
has as pronounced views as any Demo-
crat who may chance to read this; but
he does not consider himself suffic-
iently .'the whole show to refuse to
bow to the dictum OF his party, especi-
ally in the matter OF nomination to
office; for it Is absolutely true that in
matters of policy a poor Democrat is
better than a good Republican. just

The Supreme Court refuses to give
any reason for throwing out the man
damus proceedings on the part OF the
Board of Education of St, Louis against
the Board of Equalization, to compel
that body to assess the railroad and
other corporations at their cash value.
The question arises, do these gentlemen
consider themselves servants of the
peopfep Perhaps they regard the peo-
pie as their servants, to whom they
are not accountable. The suggestion
of a jefferson City paper, that If the
assessment of the railroad and other
corporations throughout the State
should be raised, the assessment of
farms and other property throughout
the State would have to be raised in
like proportion and that therefore the
farmer would have 10 pay more taxes,
is ridiculous. The ground of the com
plant is that railroads are assessed
lower than other property in the State.
II the assessment should be raised,
would that not reduce the rate of tax
ationP The people have everything
to gain and nothing to lose in making

more special trains to political con-

THERE has been a meeting of the

to devise ways and mean to capture

The usual amount OF clap-trap and
platitude was INDUCED 10 by this
branch of the Republican party.
What they really wish to accomplish
is to prevent any change of present
policies. David DeArmond was a
good Democrat in bad company when
he went there. Let these gentlemen
outline a we'll defined and clear-cut
policy and present it, before any heed
is given to them.

IN MISSISSIPPI
OR ARKANSAS /?
LIQUOR LAW VIOLATION CASE
IN cOAH0MA..
CONTENTION ADVANCED
Defendant Claims His Saloon was
on a Point of Land a Part
of Arkansas.

Friars Point Miss, Nov. 17.-An
appeal has been taken to the Supreme
Ccurt in very peculiar case tried at
the recent session of the circuit court
in Coahoma county. Charles Cook
IVES indicted and arraigned for selling
liquor without license. and as a de
fense he claimed that his saloon was
located in the jurisdiction of Arkan-
sss. and is therefore not subject to the
laws of Mississippi. He exhibited Ar
kansas Licenses for which over $500
had been paid, and maps were produc-
cd that the point of land on which the
saloon is located, about one mile south
of Friar's Point, is on the Arkansas
side. Surveyors testified to this effect,
but the prosecution showed that the
land is Mississippi territory and be-
cause By aooretions formed from the
Mississippi shore, and Lot from the
Horse Shoe Island further down the
river. The problem is complicated
one, and it is understood that the det
fense will endeavor TO get the Supreme
Court to transfer the case to the Fed
earl Court, as the liqour laws of the
two states are involved. Cook was
convicted in the Coahoma court and
the sheriff has attached his saloon and
he stock of liquors ON hand.

Brookhaven, Miss, Nov l7.-Judge
Robert Powell has adjourned the
Lincoln county circuit court after q
two weeks session. A large volume
of civil business was disposed of and
four prisoners sent to the penitentiary
to serve terms ranging from three
years to life.
An interesting legal question was
submitted to Judge Powell in Lincoln
county circuit court, and the matter
is now under advisement. At the last
session of the legislature a bill was
passed to protect attorneys acting as
counsel for litigants in damage suit
claims by providing that justices Of
the peace shall make allowance in
court bills for attorneys fees. In case
Judge Powell sustains the point
brought up this law will be practical
ly destroyed. at the counsel for rail
road company demanded in trial of
this nature at Brookhaven that the
opposing counsel, being practically q
party to the suit, give bond for COSTS.
The plaintiff had given q pauper's 8
oath. and should the motion be sus-
tainsd, il will force the counsel for
litigants to assume equal response
bility with their clients.

Election Returns all in = No Elec-
tions In Many Parts
of State.

jackson, Miss Nov. 17s-Since the
returns havc been received from all
the counties showing the total Con-
gressional vote on the 4th of Novem-
ber to be only 1898. reports are COM
Ing in from many rarts Of the state of
failures of the election officers to open
The polls on election day. This neg
lect was manifested not only in the
ruial precincts, but in the cities and
towns rs we'll, and 1t is roughly esti-
mated that FIVE per Ger of the polling
places in Mississippi failed to open,
while in numerous instances the vail
dity of the election could be contested,
should anybody see fit to do so, on the
ground that the election mad not been
properly held. At Friar's Point, for
instance, nobody manifested enough
interest to serve as judges and clerks,
and the editor of the local newspaper
took the ballot box and ma lie tour of
tue town. After much solicitation be
managed to collect twenty four votes
for thenCongressional candidate.

jackson, Miss, Nov. i7.-During
the past week State Revenue Agent
Adams has turned over to the tax
collectors of several counties the list
of solvent credit back tax delinqr-
encies as revised and approved by the
boards of supervisors, and the collsc-
tors are now being enforced by these
officials.
The revenue agents deputies have
renewed their crusades and are now
busily engaged in exercising the deed
and mortgage records in other coun.
ties which will be treated in a similar
manner. The delinquents are allowed
thirty days In which to make pay
ments after the claims OF the revenue
agent have approved and the solvent
credit crusade is being conducted In q
business like manner and is compare
lively free from friction, alhough the
result in each county generally occa-
sions much surprise and the ousto-
mary amount OF indignation to the
delinquents.

YAZ00 CITY is
HAVING TROUBLE

Yazoo City, Miss, Nov. 17.-Yazoo
City is having considerable trouble in
making a valid issue of $40, 600 in
municipal bonds to be used in estab-
fishing waterworks, electric lights and
sewerage. The plans for the three
systems were drawn some time ago by
Mr.. Walter G.. Kirkpatrick, city en-
gineer of jackson, and a few days ago
the issue was sold to Cleveland and
ATLANTA capitalists for prem
ium of $5, 800. Protests have been
fled, however, by several citizens on
the ground that the issuance and sale
is contrary to law, and that the
amendments to the city charter au-
thorizing their sale are not consistent
with sections 3039 of the code of 1898,
and delay of several months will re-
suit, as it will be ne ,essary to carry
the matter to the circuit court and
thence to the Supreme Court.
Owing to the fact that no question
of legality was raised By the puroha s.
ers of the bonds, but on the contrary
they were sold at a good premium, the
delay is regarded as very unfortunate.

SUNDAY AT THE
HUNTING CAMP
THE PRESIDENT SPENT A
QUIET SABBATH
FINE PoSSUM DINNER
Holt Collier Has His Dander Up
and Vows the President
Will Get q Bear.

Smedes, Miss. Nov. I7-Sunday was
a quiet day in the Presidents camp
On the Little Sunfower The Presi-
dent and several members of the par
ty spent couple of hours this morn
ing rambling over the forest trails on
their horses. Dinner was the chief
event of the day. The menu includ :
ed roast bear paws and 'possum and
sweet potatoes. Dinner was served in
simple camp style on q rough pine
board table set up in the open air.
Tin plates and tin cups and tin cans
were used. There were not enough
knives and forks to 60 around and
the colored cook announced TO the
amusement of everybody as the party
sat down that on account of the scar
city of the articles he had distribut-
cd them only to the Colonel, as the
president is invariably called in camp,
and the foreign gentlemen. The Presi-
dent is enjoying his outing very much.
He has not had three days of such
complete freedom and rest since he
entered the white house.
The insurgent newspaper men re-
turned to the assault. Having been
repulsed on tile land side by Mr.. Man
gums pickets, they resolved today to
try to effect an entry to the camp by
the water route. A boat was charter
ed at Vicksburg. according to a story
in circulation here. and it was report
ed to havo left that place ut o'lcock
Sunday morning. The route of the
expedition was to be up the Misisssip-
pi to the mouth of the Yazoo, then mp
the little river to the Sunfiower The
distance, owing to bends. Is over for
ty miles, but il the party started, it
did not reach its destination. The
river men say there is now q sand bar
at the mouth of the Yazoo whioli
would stop any craft drawing over
twelve inches.
The Chicago party which is hunting
with Bob Bobo's pack of hounds
seventy miles north of hele, is re-
ported to have had better luck than
the Presidents party, according to a
message received here today. The
party during the last week bagged
eleven deer and four bear.
Holt Golfers dander is up, and he
vows that the Colonel will not go
home empty handed. His dogs have
had good rest Sunday and we're in
fine condition to resume the chase
this morning. The weather however,
is turning cooler, and rain is falling.
A report circulated among the COL
ored people that the President was
coming to Smedes attracted about T..
600 negroes to the station. They wait
ed until dark before they would be con-
vinced the report was incorrect
