his old steers we may look for
cheaper beef. He expects people to
swallow his beef story, hide, head
and all, but they won't. There was
a big crop of corn last year, bnt the
COW is still jumping over the moon
in price. All trusts are ready to
make promises on the least provoca-
ton, whether they are asked to do
so or not, but if there was ever one
of these promises redeemed 1t was
after the trust had dropped dead
from It's own rottenness. If the re-
publican administration would get
behind the trust as it should it
would have a greater tendency to
bring down the price OF beef than
anything we know of.

Were it not for the fact that the
farmers send west for their corn, to
Tennessee and Kentucky for their
wagons, to Illinois for their flour, to
Boston for their beans and go over
into some other state for their wives
no one could tell why they send
their children outside of the state
for an education. But this is not
surprising when these same people
Will send to Maine for their reading
matter, and you couldn't give one of
them bible printed in Mississippi.
It would not be like the other bibles
not half so easily understood. We
are such a strange people. If we
had little swearing to do we would
rather do it in a foreign language.
1t would have more fierce and we
would feel better satisfied with the
quality and quantity. But there is
not the least excuse in the world for
parents to send their children out
side of the state to be educated, nor
any excuse for going outside of the
state to get a wife. There are
several thousand more single women
than men IN this state and out of
these several thousand if man can
not get a wife to suit him he cannot
be suited and has no business with
one.

The Progress does not believe that
Governor Longino will have the
nerve to tackle Senator Money in a
contest for the United States sena-

bite off more than he can mastlcate.
Senator Money is one of the ablest
senators from the south and the peo-
pie of Mississippi will not turn him
down for Governor Longino or any
other man.

A Notable Health Resort.

The Ozone Belt OF Louisiana situated

piney woods country traversed by the
East Louisiana railroad, connection of
the Queen and Crescent Route, and at
its fartherest point. Covington, La,
only sixty miles by rail from New Or

perhaps the least known and least writ

country, and yet has in the immediate
vicinity the best reputation fo- health
giving qualities of any locality in the
south, if not in the whole country.
1t has long been recognized by the
residents of New Orleans and the state
of Louisiana as place where those suf
fering from lung troubles, feVers, stom
ach, liver and other organic diseases, as
well as general debility, can obtain per-
feet rest and almost instant relief, and
IN most cases permanent cure. So con-
fident are residents of this favored To-
cality of its perfect healthfulness and
their immunity from contagious diseases
that quarantine against infected Iocali-
tiles is never considered necessary or

The nights are always agreeable and
mosquitoes are almost unknown.
Thousands of Pc pie every year spei d

Nature has done all that could be

home seeker DESTROYS of living where
the vigors of a northern climate can
surely be avoided.

1t seems that Pennsylvania is
about to have war of its own. The
strikers and the soldiers are about to
clash and from this distance the out
look is that somebody is going to
get hurt. The United States should
be very careful in opening the gates
to immigration. If we can't get the
right kind let's shut the gate, lock it
tightly and then guard the fence
with shotgun. The Ckinaman is
preferable to the Italian. The former
will go along eating rats and rice and
say nothing, while the latter will or
ganize, fight and fuss and make
themselves holy terror.

CANDIDATES AND PLATFORMS.

CANDIDATES AND PLATFORMS.
There seems to be no lack for ma
terlai for governor, even this early in
the race. If all the gentlemen men
toned IN the newspapers conclude to
stand for the race there will be half
a dozen or more of them and still the
list is not exhausted. There seems
to be no doubt about the candidacy
of Hon. f. F. Noel and Col. James
X. Vardaman and one or two others
whose names have been mentioned,
and, so far as that is concerned, there
is not much doubt about any of them
running whose names have been
mentioned.
But what is a little strange every
man is trying to get up platform of
his own. The state democratic par
ty is great party for platforms. In
1895 every candidate, from governor
down to justice of the peace, had a
platform, but all would wind up
in their little speeches that they
were ardent supporters of Mr.. Bryan
and his free silver platform and that
they neither desired nor expected to
hold office unless they should be
elected on that platform. But that is
thing of the past. The platform was
a farce, Bryan was a farce, and those
running on that ticket, as a general
thing, were not sincere in their adj
vocacy of the platform. So in the
next campaign the free silver plat
form will not be mentioned and these
candidates must get up a side-issue
platform of their own, something
like the judiciary election or the di-
vision of the school funds.
We have not heard from all the
candidates for governor yet, but it
may be presumed that the Jim
Crow" car will be very strong plat
form with some of them as soon as
the campaign is well open, and there
may be one or two of the candidates
with cheek enough to MAKE the tax
ing of sheep-killlng dogs platform.
This certainly would be better for
the farmer than the free silver craze
advocated few years ago, for, while
in the latter there was no chance for
him to get free silver, in the former
he would be able to have more wool,
and today wool is worth more than
free silver and without the consent
of any other nation.
And then Writ Adams sheuld be
made a platform. There are many
people, especially those who have
been touched by Writ Adams, who
would vote for the candidate prom
Using to lop off Mr.. Adams twenty
per cent commission on back taxes.
You see when a mans pocketbook is
touched he is touched all over and
he would vote for thief If he |
thought this would keep the thief |
from robblng him, though he might |
rob others. Self-protection is the |
first law of the land and applies to
the pocketbook as well as to life aud |
the pursuits of happiness. So it may
be that Mr.. Adams will also be an
issue in the next gubernatorial cam
paign.
But after all the successful candi-
1idate will be the accident of the
whole shooting match, just like it
las beeu heretofore. He will be a.
lark horse and it matters but little
he has any platform or not.
f he can slip in on the dark horse
Hide he will do so and he will have
more friends the next day than he
'ver had before and by many will be
the man who should have
'een elected at first and without OPP
'ositlon.
