most thorough fashion. The Lexow COM
mittee year or two later laid befe the
whole disgraceful story.
Now apply this history. Imagine Mr..
Croker appearing In New York next year.
and opening a dicker for the return Of Tam
many to power. He points out the i'm
portance of the control Of the city by the
democracy in 1904. He describes that as
absolutely essential to democratic sue
cess in the state. and such success as
absolutely essential to the election of a
democrat to the presidency. And so he
will repeat his proposition of 1892. Your
money. or your life. That is to say. the
control of the city, or Tammany apathy in
the presidential race.
VIII this proposition be accepted? Is it
not likely to be? Tanmany's record In
1892 was as vile as It now is, or will be
next year or the year after. The presi-
dency is great stake. and trading goes
on at great rate during a presidential
campaign. Don't count Mr. Croker or
Tammany as dead yet. Many democrats
now loud in denunciation of the boss will
be found fighting in his company and glad
of his company in 1904.

Wilson, OF Marion, Ind, have been in
vicksburg for some days, prospecting

themselves as being better pleased with
Vicksburg and surroundings than any of
the others. The mill will manufacture

Figures newly compiled in the Audi
|,or,s office show that the privilege license
paid by the saloons in the State for the
|6scal year ended Oct. 1 will amount to
$4,000. The corresponding figures for
me preceding year were $4,000, and
there is decrease Of $500 in the receipts
from this source. Inasmuch as the pri-
rileqe license of saloons range in cost
from 5000 to $1,000 per annum, according
10 location, it is conservative estimate
that the decrease in receipts represents
The closing OF at least ten saloons over
tbe State. The decease is largely due,
Of course, to the operation of the Dunn
liquor law adopted at the last session Of
the Legislature.
