The First Local Mint.

One OF the institutions here
which has the special attention of
tourists as we'll as the local people
is the Mint, which is established on
Nuuanu street, opposite Queen
Emma Hall. 1t is interesting to
enter the large main working room,
where general manager McDonough
and his corps OF assistants are at
work. The cool and large lanai is a
proper resting place aud the vaults,
whore the "bars" to be minted and
beer are kept present very tasty
spectacle. The Mint is open from
$50 =. N. to ll:30 p. m. and during
those hours the work never ceases.
Visitors after looking over the place
will find first class refreshments and
the purest Of LIQUORS.

Corn-Hogs.

We learn that the shipment of
corn from u county has already
begun. Several car loads have
been shipped and the enquiery
for corn from distant purchasers
is quite large In shipping thus
early the farmer is receiving the
benefit of better prices than may
be expected later in the season.
In addition he gets the advantage
in weight as corn gathered so
early is not fully dried. Prices are
pretty good too and will remain
so until the western crop begins
to reach the markets. All this
seems to be III favor of the farmer
and he is not to blame for filling
his empty pocket book with a
little cash from this source. tie
has carried it empty for quite a
time and the temptation to sieze
the first chance to fill it is too
strong for him to resist 1t.
But the question arises. Is It
good policy to do so by selling
corns The past two crops were
very short and there has been
great stinting in using it. AS a
consequence, the stock of hogs in
the country has run very short
and there are not enough to
make a supply of meat for II
people. Lhe price of meat of all
kinds, is very high-so high that
our farmer friends a not afford
to buy 1T. Corn at fifty cents
means pork at five cents. Instead
of that imported salt meat is sell
ing for twelve and a half cents.
This means corn at a dollar per
bushel, or over.
The wise cource to pursue is to
be careful in the nse of corn and
to sell but little of it. The stock
of hogs should be r~eplenished and
never be allowed again to run
down so low. We now have plenty
of corn to do this and wisdom
directs that every farmer sets to
work to accomplish that end.
With his crib full of corn and his
smoke house full Of IN at the
farmer can not fail to prosper.
With both empty his condition
generally is embarrassing and, in
some instances, pitiable.
Keep up your stock of hogs!

Horrible Catastrophe.

The terrible destruction of life
at the meeting of negro Baptists
at Birmingham foots up, at last
accounts. one hundred and ten
killed and as many injured. 1t
seems that the meeting which
brought them together was being
addressed by Booker Washington,
who was concluding his speech
when a fight occurred between a
Baltimore negro doctor and a
negro leader of the choir of the
church in which the meeting was
held. The audience numbered
two thousand aud when the fight
opened a panic seized the crowd
and in the rush 10 get out hun
dreds were thrown down and
trambled under foot. The meet
ing included only negroes, and
the killed we're all Of that race.
Taken into account with the dis
aster Of the recent excursion to
Birmingham from Columtu us near
II two hundred negroes have been
killed.

Opening of |. I. & G.

The opening of the Ii. Il G. at
Columbus, occurred on Wednes-
day 18th inst. Nearly six hun
dred girls were present to enter
the school. They came from all
parts of the state, every county
being represented.
The exercises we're very interest
ing. President A. \. Kincannon
offered a few Introductory remarks
as a prelude to the introduction of
the distinguished gentlemen who
had been invited to deliver adj
dresses on the occasion. Hon.
Geo. Z. Mitchell, of PontotOc, was
first introduced and occupied a
half hour in an address full of
thoughtful and pertinent sug-
gestions to the young ladies whom
he addressed. His theme vas up
on the scope and purposes of the
institution and its benign infiu-
ence in moulding the characters
of those who enjoyed its benefits.
Mr.. Mitchell is an orator of abili-
ty, he having inherited the strong
qualities possessed by his lament
ed father who was 80 popular and
influential in the affairs of the
state during his life. Mr.. F..
B. Evans, editor of the Meridian
Press followed MIR. Mitchell in a
pertinent and strong address up
on the industrial features of the
education received at the famous
institution and emphasized it's
value in all the aft airs of life upon
his youthful hearers. Mr.. Evans
is an accomplished writer and
Yields a wide influence as editor
in chief of the "Press' which
is fast gaining popularity as a
democratic organ of the state.
Each of these gentlemen are speak
ers of pleasing style upon the
rostrum and their addresses were
heard with marked attention.
The scope Of the institution
has been enlarged since its last
term. There have been sever
al schools added, including
Pharmacy aud Photography. It
is believed that the present term
will be the most successful III its
history. Lee county has nine
young ladies in attendance.

A Handsome Menu Card.

1.-THE menu card gotten up by
the Mobile q Ohio Railroad for
their dining car service is a very
chaste and handsome card. The
frontispiece is a pretty maiden
walking along a country lane with
dress full of spring blossoms, and
in the upper lett hand corner IS
embossed in black and white the
we'll known insignia of the Mobile
& Ohio Railroad. The back Of
the card is embelllshed with a
view of the Union Station at st.
Louis, with a map of the route
from st. Louis to New Orleans,
Mobile and Montgomery. With
in is given a list Of the good
things to eat that can be found on
these cars."-From nThe Daily
Register" Mobile, Ala, Saturday,

Christian Science.

The Christian Science fallacy
has claimed two nor victims near
Memphis. Two little boys who
had ordinary cases of maiarlal
fever, died because they we're not
given the simple remedies which
are needed in such eases. The
people who investigated the cases
affirm that the simplest of RENE
dies would have saved the boys
lives. This new tangled belief
has a peculiar influence over those
who accept it, and they persist in
it, though death stares them in the
face. When grown people refuse
to take remedies that are needed
to save their lives they do not de-
serve much sympathy, but it is
terrible for children to be made
the victims of the heresies and
fanatical ideas of others.-EX.
1t indeed astonishing that people
who appear to be intelligent and
who go along in life with reason
able actions except upon this one
hobby should be permitted by the
States authorities to maltreat their
children as seems 10 have been
done in the above case. Children
should not be permitted to become
victims of their parents tom-fool-
cry and the state should adopt
to protect them against
their fool parents. This thing of
people being allowed to die be-
cause their fathers or friends be-
lieve in Christian Science and keep
the doctors away from them is be-
coming too common and steps
should be taken to put a stop to it.

pleases ADD g medicine and

somebody e.se is sick and he goes
to fooling around with his non
sence and keeps the sick one from
seeking relief through regular
medical means, the law should
take hold of both the sick one and
the scientest and provide treat
ment for both. The sick patient
should be treated by a physician
and the .sscience" crank should
be treated by law in a manner that
would put a stop to his inter-
meddling with sick people.

Where Does it all Come From?

The country just now is enjoying a
treat in the way OF the sale Of scrap iron
and other kinds ofjunk. Mr.. II. B. Good
win. Of Birmingham, is buying large
quantities Of it in the towns along the
railroad and ships it by car loads to
his principals at Birmingham. At every
town he has agents who buy for him
and the way the little bows and niggers
bring in every description OF old irons
is wonderful. The old wagons. old
stoves and old everything else Is drawn
upon and brought in Tor sale. i is
quite astonishing how great IN amount
Of this stuff ia being shipped away and
IT must be q source Of considerable
revenue to the county.

Bryan.
We think all this abuse of B

VIZ think all this abuse Of Bry-
an that some democratic news
papers continue to heap upon him
is in exceeding ill taste and ILL
timed. That distinguished man is
now a private citizen and not a
candidate for the presidency. He
is, however, still a potential factor
in the democratic party and has a
perfect right to entertain and ad-
vocate such policies as his judg-
ment may suggest as good for the
party. His present views have
been twice endorsed by his party
in national conventions and he
has been twice honored by being
selected as its leader. The papers
that are now deriding aud abusing
him stepped out of line in the last
canvass and did not support him.
In this they joined the enemy and,
in so far as their influence went,
aided in the defeat of the democ-
racy.
Bryan does not expect the nomi-
nation by the next national demo-
cratic convention. He discerns
plainly that there is now no pros
pect of his policies being adopted
and is a man of sufficient wisdom
to see that a fight with free silver
as the salient principle of %conten-
tioL aud demand would be impol-
itic. We do not pretend that hi
views upon this subject have been
modified, but we think that he is
sharp enough to realize that there
can be nothing gained next year
by continuing the fight upon free
silver lines. The followers of
Bryan do not deride and abuse the
Cleveland organs and "gold bugs"
for the stand that they maintained
in our last great fight. We need
ed their aid then badly but did not
get il. The result of the fight
showed their ininitesimal numbers
They Are as much needed in the
party now as then and nobody is
proposing any sort of means to
keep them out. If they feel that
they + on top now and can die
tate the party's action they should
eschew all elimination and strive
to heal all wounds and strengthen
the party. We will need Bryan
and his crowd next time as much,
or more, than we will need Cleve-
land and his crowd. Let both
sides remember this and quit kick
ing the sore spots on anybody's
corpus.

The declination Of the re-nomi-
nation rendered speaker Hender:
son Of the lower house of Congress.
by the republican party Of his dis
trict in Iowa, tells the tale Of the
dissensious in that party in strong
and emphatic manner. The Speak
er is an Interpretations of the
New England type. He thinks
there is no room for sealing the
duties of the infamous Dingley
tariff and believes that the para
mount object of the tariff is pro-
lection and protection alone. The
republican convention which re-
nominated him realized the grow
ing sentiment in favor of tariff
revision and reduction and in the
platform adopted by it declared
accordingly. The grounds taken
by it were stronger than Speaker
Henderson could stand and he
promptly declined the rendered
nomination.
1t is apparent that the G. o. p.
is at sea. Discussions prevail
throuhout it's entire body and its
leaders are dumbfounded and dis
couraged. Roosevelt is puzzled
over the Speakers action and all
the leading Senators, Hanna,
Lodge, Platt, Allison, and others
are putting their heads together in
dismay. They realize the depth
and strength of the popular cur
rent that is whirling the old party
to wreck and seek to devise means
to stem it for a while longer.
1t is becoming more and more
apparent every day that the great
questions that will be forced to
the front as issues in the next
national contest will be the trusts
and the tariff. The people show
very plainly that they will force
the issue upon these questions and
the two great parties will be COM
PEELED to pronounce emphatically
upon them in their platforms.
They are tired Of the robbery
from which they are suffering
from these immense vehicles of
extortion and class favoritism
The one is the %ontgrowth Of the
other and they are so joined in
their iniquitous operation that
only the wealthy r benefited by
them. The tariff robs the people
and gives life to the trusts which,
in their turn, cut deeper still into
the substance of the people. They
are the product of the republican
party and are the base work of its
fabric. The east has fattened
upon their prey until its Golfers
are bursting with i'll gotten wealth
The west has been duped into ac'
ceptance and support of the poll
cles which the east has promul'
gated and profted by. Now, the
west is finding out how the thing
has been worked on them and il
is to be hoped that returning
reason may hold sway until the
bosom of destruction rends tht
republican party into fragments sc
small that they will be hard tt
find.
