LATE LITERARY NEWS.


What makes the happy relation
between man and woman, is an
eternally interesting question, and
4 clever discussion Of why marriages
fail, presented by Rafford Pyke in
his article "The Woman's Side" is
certain to receive the very wide
consideration which has been given
to that authors previous articles on
tho discussion Of woman versus
man. The July Cosmopolitan seems
to be almost equally divided in in
terest between men and women.
IAN experiment in Domestic FL
nance" is another entirely novel
article which will appeal to women
while some twenty pages devoted
to the Captains of Industry" will
receive the consideration of men in
all classes of business. The Cosrao-
po1itan has undertaken to present a
series of brief sketches of the men
who are leaders in finance manufac-
lures, and commerce not prepared
in an off hand way but by writer's of
the greatest ability who have an
exact knowledge of their subjects.
The series thus far produced has
attracted the widest attention. The
Industrial changes which have Of
late been occurring with such rapid
ity have the widest possible interest
for all classes. The knowledge Of
these men, their derivation, leading
characteristic and weaknesses throws
much light upon the news Of the day
in which their name constantly
recur.

PROSPERITY" AND COST III
LIVING. T.

LII xANOs {"
The great prosperity of the county
rebounds most to the benefit III
trust proprietors, the manufacturers
who are combined in trust withIa
tariff which gives them vast profit
on their products and to corpora
lions transacting business in violA-
ton Of the national and state anti
trust laws. The prosperity is
abundant, but it is confined to a few.
The great mass of tho people of
the country live on stated wages.
All the money earned by the vast
MAJORITY comes to them as wages
and salaries which cannot bead
vanced the cost Of living inc reases
day by day.
The result is obvious. The man
living ON his salery or wages finds
his daily expenses for himself and
family much greater than formerly,
while his wages or salary remains
about the same. The men living
on fixed wages-and they compose
nineteenth Of the male population
have no share in the national
prosperity.
On the contrary, they are worse
off relatively than they were before
the tidal wave of prosperity swept
over the country. The cost of living
tho daily expense of life in every
home-oan be stated at an verage
of Is per cent more than the cost
before prosperity arrived. Every
householder can estimate for him
self the harvest Of prosperity which
he has gathered.
There are few necesaries of life
that have not advanced at least 10
per cent in cost within two years.
Many Of the necessaries of life have
advanced 40 or so per cont in cost.
Some necessaries have advanced
from 20 to 80 per cent. The aver
age is at least Is percent. Chicago

GEOGRAPHICAL CENTER
OF HARRISON COUNTY?
Case TO be Called for Hearing Before
the Supreme Court This Saturday
Afternoon,

The case of Leinhird VS.. Board
Of Supervisors Of Harrison Coun-
ty, now in the Supreme Court of
the State,and which was advanced
on the docket and set for Monday
afternoon, went over until next
Saturday on n preliminary motion.
The case involves the question
Of the result of II recent election
in Harrison County on the reno
val Of the courthouse site from
Mississippi City to Gulfport.
This involves the inquire as to
what point ris the geographical
center of the county, under sec
tion 259 Of the State Constitution
which provides that there must
be u two-thirds majority in favor
OF the removal unless the new
proposed site is toward the center
OF the county, in which case ma
jority is sufficient. There was a
majority, but not a two thirds ma
jority. in favor of Gulfport.
The Board of Supervisors deci-
ded that the majority was sulli-
cient. and that Gulfport was near
or the center Of the county.
The case involves, particularly,
The question Of the southern boun-
diary of Harrison County.
There WAS an appeal by Lien
hard, who is on the Mississippi
City side Of the case, from the
action of the Board to the Circuit
Court, where the order Of the
Board was affirmed, and from that
decision the present appeal IS TAX

quent raids. Thus far he has been
lucky enough not to be caught in
the act of making a sale, but of
course it is only a question Of
time until some officer will get eyi-
dence Of sale, and the unIucky
darkey goes to the countysfarm
while the man who has made ii
few thousand out Of the business
will stay at home and enjoy the
profits.
There is hardly any doubt that
nearly every blind tiger in Missis-
sippi operated by negro has
some white man behind il, who
Is furnishing the capital for the
business, or directly supervises
the sale of liquor, yet it rarely
happens that a white man Is
caught and convicted.
The suggestion has been made
and Is attracting considerable fav-
orable attention, that the law
should be so amended that when
u blind tiger is discovered on the
premises tenanted by a white
man, regardless of who is arrest
ed for running it, that ii shall be
taken as prima fucie evidence Of
the white mans participation
therein, and form good grounds
for conviction.
Another suggestion made re-
gardieg the liquor law Is for an
act authorizing the sale Of Illicit
liquor captured instead Of having
it destroyed, rs at present the case
under the Dinsmore raiding law,
with the further provision that
the liquor be shipped out of the
State, disposed Of to some whole.
sale dealer, and the proceeds plac-
cd into the treasury of the town.
where captured.
All oyer the State the circuit
judges and justices Of the peace
are making the punishment for IL
licit retailing more stringent, and
many Of the judges are inflicting
the maximum penalty where con-
viction is secured, following the
theory that the only way to break
up the traffic is to make the pu-
nlshment greater than the profit.

STATE REVENUE AGENT
AFTER LUMBERMEN
Expects to Make Big Haul On Back
Taxes
EspFS

The State revenue agent has
now turned his attention to the
lumber and timber men on the line
of the Gulf and Ship Island road
and in the southeastern section Of
the county, and he is taking steps
to colleetFa good pile of money
from the mon engaged in this bu-
siness who have failed to pay the
State what is due in the way of
taxes.
The acts Of the Legislature of
1900 creating a privilege on cer-
tam Industries Of Mississippi pro-
vide that each lumber mill, cor
poration or individual, who buys
timber on lnnds without buying
the lands. shall pay II privilege
tax of $25 for every five hundred
acres, $50 for every thousand
acres aud so on at the rate of $2J
for every 500 acres.
Only in one instance in the past
two years has this privilege tax
been paId,and every mill and tim
Der concern in the State buys the
timber off the lands without buy
ing the lands.
In several counties steps have
been taken to collect the revenue
due the State from the lumber
men. II is understoo | that they
viii fight the State revenue agent
IN some cases. A number OF the
largest concerns it will hit very
bard, AS during the past two years
they have cnt timber off great
many acres Of land.

temporary Democratic notofiety.
1t seems to me that the Demo-
cratic situation is such asto awak-
on the satisfaction and hope of
every thorough and consistent
Democrat. Our party has Ger.
tainly regaincd its old time fight
ing condition, and recovered the
morale that promises old-tine
success and prestige. ! think,
however, while We can safely as
sumo that we are not Immediately
threatened with a repetition Of
undemocratic heresy there are pal
pable dangers to be avoided If the
rejuvenetion of Democracy Is not
to be obstructed. The movement
toward the rcjuyenation tends to
a complete abandonment of our
late yielding to the temptations Of
expediency as against a firm adj
herence to Democratic doctrines.
The condition necessitates, in my
opinion, 10th in the enunciation
of platform principles and the se-
lection of candidates, sturdy and
determined march to the goal of
substantial and thorough Demo-
cracy. In other words, believe
that if the Democratic party is
tempted under a mistaken appre-
hension of the meaning of the re-
vival of true Democratic senti-
ment, to stop short of this goal,
and temporize by presenting to
the people platform principles
and candidates not entirely in
keeping with an absolutely chang
ed policy. it will tail to convince
the people of its sincerity, or to
satisfy them that it can safely be-
trusted. Such a condition can
not better be described than by
the homely illustration of man
sitting down between two chairs.
Such behavior would discourage
sincere and thoughtful Demo.

lican party. 1t may as we'll be
fully understood that any party
promising such relief cannot cal
cuiate that the people are in the
mood to be deceived or cajoled by
tricks OF oxpediency. The move
ment now under way must be pur-
sued with thoroughness, consist
ency and honesty. There need be.
no fear that a radical return to
the true Democracy is dangerous
to Democratic success. The hiss
tory of the party abundantIy
shows that it is only departure
from principle and yielding to
temptation Of expediency that
have brought disaster. The hope
of the Democratic party lies in the
inevitable discovery by our peo-
pie of its beneficent aims and
purposes. Already the beneficia-
ries of the high protective tariff
are reduced III number, and the
benefits derived from protection
are so palpably lessened, even MS
applied to the selfish interests of
those who have heretofore insist
ed upon its continuance, that they
are inclined to receive with favor
the adoption Of the Democratic
doctrine of n tariff for revenue.
The popular apprehension of the
evils OF aggressive expansion, and
lncompatibiity with what has al-
ready been regarded as safe Amer
lcanlsm, is constantly growing,
and cannot fail to become in the
near future most important fac
tor in the political thought Of our
people. The tremendous growth
Of trusts, the immense business
aggregations and the manner in
which they stifle heaithful conlpe-
tition and throttle individual en-
terprlse cannot pass long unheed-
ed byt voters of the land. The
stupendons governmental extrava-
gance that now prevails must at
length be appreciated by the peo-
pie as not only drain upon their
earnIng and Accommodations, but as
q most pernicious example, calcu-
lated to undermine the love Of
Wholesome economy among our
citizens. These topics and others
which might be mentioned, and
the abuses connected with them,
should be bravcly and uncompro-
mislngly death with by the Dem
ocratic party, as they all involve
Democratic principle. We should
have sufficient faith in the intelIi-
gence and right-mindeduess of our
countrymen to arouse confident
anticipation that will speedily
confidc the treatment of these vi
tai questions to the party which
satisfy them IN an honest, unequi-
vocal and patriotic manner. II
see only hope and confidence in
the future of Democracy; but this
hope and confidence is based on
the belief that the party will be
true to itself and true to its pro-
fession of devotion to the welfare
of the people.

MAKING CATSPAWS OF
NEGROES AT JACKSON.
Owners Of Blind Tigers Employ Me-
gro Keepers Who Assume All Re-
sponslblilty When Arrested.

jackson, Miss, Nov. PA
new phase of the blind tiger dues-
ton is now occupying the atten-
ton OF the coults and juries in
Mississippi.
In majority Of instances where
the illicit liquor joints are raided
by officers 1t is found that some
lonely negro il in charge Of the
premises, and If evidence OF sale
Is secured it is invariably the case
that the negro is made tho victim
of the vindication of Justice,
whereas he is merely the agent or
servant of some white man who
uses him MS II catspaw, or shield,
10 prevent him from tho punish
ment of the law.
I AS an illustration Of this, a few
days since the largest blind tiger
IN one of the northern counties
was rnided and the negro servant
who was dispensing the drinks
placed under arrest. The court
fined him $500 and three months
on the county farm. The negro
will also have to work out the fine,
which means an imprisonment of
two years, while the white man,
who owns the illicit joint and re-
celves the profits thciefi ON, will
pursue the even tenor of his way
and hire another negro to perform
the menial work of handing out
the drinks.
An instance similar to this Is on
record in Jackson. A blind tiger
that for more than II year has
sold more whiskcy than any
three places in the town combin-
ed, employed a negro bartender
who took all the risk and received
none Of the profits, working for a
salary and constantly dodg-
