NEW ORLEANS CAR STRIKE.

tits evident, and very evident al
that, that unless the street rail-
ways company will lend an ear to
reason. settlement of the street
car strike in New Orleans is very
remote. Reports yesterday err
day) convey the news of Govern
or Heard's arrival in the city and
OF the presence Of the militia on
the scene; that peace prevails, and
that no settlement is in sight.
The Echo would champion the
cause of the union men. Their de-
mand that from a tcn-hour day al
IL cents per hour they be given
an eight-hour day at rs cents. is
just.
That an outsider like j. B. Pear
son, Jr., a tentacle of the trust
octopus, should come to New Or
leans and acquire by purchase
every car line in the city does not
signify he has purchased, too, like
so many beasts the men who oper-
ate the vast property and make
possible the big dividends that ac-
crue in the company's exchcqner.
Neither does it guarantee they can
be purchased, or, like a herd of
cattle, subdued into any form of
doing at the bidding of the trust.
1t was a sad day when the peo-
pie of New Orleans sold out their
railway property and interests as
they are forced to feel all the too
keenly today.
The members of the police force
are New Orleans men, the militia
ry forces, too, are composed of
local material. Will they array
themselves against their own peo-
pie under these conditions? Will
brother fight against brother? Let
union men be firm; rigid in their
demands, but, above all, peaceful
and due regard for the law.
The days of slavery are over.
Will the Southern laborer now be-
come the slave of Yankee trusts? ?

A CITIZEN OF JACKSON
AFTER Big DAMAGES.
PhGnix Insurance Company of Brook
iyn Made Ugly Charges Against
fiim--Won't Compromise.

jackson, Miss, Oct. b. A very
interesting suit has been filed in
Canton by a Jacksonian against
the Ph9nix Insurance Company
of Brooklyn. The suit is a little
out of the ordinary. Last May
Mr.. John Turner Of this city, was
running barber shop in Canton
and on the 18th day Of the month
his shop was burned. The insu
rance adjuster came along and
adjusted the loss and paid Mr..
Turner his money and he began
to figure around on opening an.
other shop. On the 3rd of June
he was arrested at the instance of
the insurance company, so it is al
legged, and kept in the Canton
Jail for twenty-five hours without
anything to eat and without being
allowed to communicate with any
of his friends. When his friends
did get to him he demanded an
immediate trial and the case was
arranged for the next day before
justice of the peace. The trial
was gone into and before it was
completed the insurance company
threw up its hands and Mr.. Tur-
ner was acquitted. Now the com.
pany charged Mr.. Turner with a
great many things. They brought
about a dozen charges against
him and on each charge that they
brought against him he is suing
them for $3.50. The company has
offered to compromise the matter
with Mr.. Turner, but he has re-

BUYING IMMENSE LAND
TRACTS FOR FARMING.
What an Ex-kansan Thinks of Mis-
sIssippi-Uut Syndicates In
vesting Heavily In Land.

The Okolona Messenger, edited
by Abe Steinberger, formely OF
Kansas, says:
"lt is estimated that Northern
capitalists have bought up nearly
two million dollars of lands in
the current year.
This statement may sound start
ling, but If accurate figures could
be given the probabilities are that
the sum total of foreign capital
invested in Delta farming lands
would exceed two millions.
Not only is this activity in real
estate being manifested in the
Delta but in nearly every section of
the State as well and the timber
lands of Southeast Mississippi an
Central Mississippi are full of
prospectors and agents negotlat
ing large deals.
A Pennsylvania syndicate is ne
gotiating for 10000 acres in prai-
rie and pine regions for truck
farming purposes. Last week an
option was given to a New York
buyer on q large tract east of
Jackson, and Memphis brokers
are in daily negotiation with land
owners and agents in this State.
The men are buying these lands
with view to improving them
and cutting them into small farms
either for sale or lease on easy
terms. The money that is going
into them is being planted for
permanent investment on the
faith in the future prosperity of
the State.
AS rule the investors seek wild
lands or. lands that have never
been cultivated, and it is their
purpose to improve them, en-
hance their value. The sure-sight-
cd moneyel men of the East ap-
preciate the possibilities of Missis-
sippi lands 1and see the golden
future that is drawing for the
commonwealth.
In the Delta country the pace
was set by the Illinois Central
Railroad Company, which is in
vesting its money by thousands
of dollars daily in that section aud
giving to the capitalists of the
country an object lesson in saga
cious business enterprise. In
Southeast Mississippi and North
east Mississippi the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad has just awaken to
the possibilities that are in their
reach and are initiating the policy
of the Illinois Central company.
The Mobile and Ohio is working
on branch line extensions into the
heart of the timber regions, and
relizingi that the timber must fail
in the years to come the company
is industriously fostering the
trucking business and lending all
the aid in its power to the deve-
lopment of this industry.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE COAL
STRIKE.

The President of the United

and on the working miners to

John Wanamaker, who is both
an advertiser and a newspaper
publisher and therefore competent
to speak from either standpoint,
ia credited with the following:
.'There is only one way to adver-
tise, and that is to hammer your
name, your location, your business
so constantly, so persistently, so
thoroughly into the peoples head
that if they walked in their sleep
they would constantly turn their
faces toward your store. The
newspaper is your best friend in
spite of criticism. 1t helps to
build up the community that sup
ports YOU. when the day comes
that the newspapers are dead, the
people are near the edge of the
grave with no one to write their
epitaph."

THE BUDDING HOPE OF ASPIRING
GENIUS.

Editor Chas. G.. Moreau, the

of the Sea Coast Echo. grows re-
miniscent, and with his face TO-
ward the heavens and his heart full
Of throbbing love for all that is
sublime in nature, watts to the
breeze the following beautiful pa
rag -aph:
Children chase butterflies and build
sand houses and thereby develop
strength to do life-work. AS we grow
older we are prone to indulge in chasing
the rainbow and building castles in the
air. And this inclination is not all bad
as some moralists tell us. Even though
we never catch the rainbow, even though
our castles fail to find a foundation we
we are uplifted and strengthened for our
real work in life. Man is a working
animal, but his hest work is done with
his eyes beholding the rainbow and his
hope moulding the clouds OF sunset in
ethereal palaces.
"Hope springs eternal in the
human breast" was not spoken
carelessly, but born of sentiment
akin to a conviction that the hu.
man race lives more in expectancy
for the glad tomorrow than for
the past or present.
Hope is the handspring of am
bition, the puryeyor of glad smiles
and the sunshine of eternal years
to come. In the diamond-be-
decked bosom of the millionaire
and In the grizzly breasts of the
sons of toll the same impulse ami
mates, energies and encourages
us on to greater achievements--to
heights yet unattained.
Commend to us always the man
who takes the optomistic view of
life and looks forward with eager
ness to greater fields of usefulness.
His presence carries Joy and glad
ness into the presence of his fell
lows and his life is a bencdiction
to the world.

Who will deny the value of the
present historical novel or dare
underate its potency as an instruc-
tor? The historical novel is the
powerful and pleasant form of
every day literature that not only
fascinates the reader and trans
mits history but refreshens the
mind of he or she who reads as to
the scenes and incidents that have
uadc notable the eventful periods
of time. There is more history
read, intermingled with fiction,
than ever, and that the historical
novel has become popular is easily
explained.

To Protect Deer,

In several counties in Mississip-
pi orders have recently been adopt
ed by the Boards of Supervisors
prohibiting the shooting of deer
at any season Of the year.
Very few deer are now left in
the State and species of game is
confined exclusively to the virgin
forests of the interior counties.
The supply has been growing
more scarce each year, and to pre-.
vent complete extermination the
prohibitory orders are being
adopted.
An order of this kind was
adopted by the Adams County
Board few days since, and other
Boards in the State are being urg-
ed to follow suit, which they will
doubtless do, as the necessity for
the step is made apparent to the
members.

A candidate for a county Office
in Ohio, says the Yazoo City Sen
tinel, has introduced novel and
what seems to be q very useful
plan Of electioneering. In his
rounds he takes with him in his
buggy plowman. When he
halls a farmer in the field the
plowman takes the plow or culti-
vator and the work goes right on
while the farmer stands in the
shade of the hedge row and listen
to the tale the candidate tells. 1t
works like a charm. Some farm
ers would rather be talked to for
a whole day in the shade than
plod in the new field behind the
implement.

In every age, in every cline, in
every country, when conditions
are TOO hard upon the people, the
people demand a change. The
answer is always made that under
the law nothing can be done.
Then, and not till then, the fun
damental law is changed. 1t will
be changed here. The people will
not forever be at the mercy of
combinations Of capital or Of la
Dor. Ii private ownership of pub
lie necessities and public utilities
proves harmful to the public at
large, public ownership will be
tried. To make these changes
does not mean socialism, anarchy
or revolution. We. have the right
and the tools with which to con-
troll our own destinies and tits our
duty TO use them.
