RESERKoIRS AND DAMS.

Compare the rapid progress Of the work upon
the mighty dam and upon the enormous reser-
voir in Worcester County, in Massachusetts,
with the delays in the Croton watershed and at
Jerome Park! The artificial lake which will
provide an almost inexhaustible supply for BOs-
ton and the cities and towns for long distance
around Boston viii be immensely larger than
the Jerome Park reservoir, and the skyscraping
dam in the Nashua Valley is an ambitious
structure, worthy of comparison with the colos-
sal barrier in Westchester County near the
Hudson River
There have been some strikes and some other
labor outbreaks in the commonwealth of the
Puritans and the Pilgrims. Nevertheless, the
work on the new lake has been carried on with
an energy and devotion to duty on the part of
those in control that have seemed at times to
be sadly lacking in the Croton territory and at
Fordham. And no accusations of scamped or
imperfect work have been heard in New-Eng-
land.
Massachusetts has no well paid, easy going

According TO the report Of Frank P. Sargent.
Commissioner General of Immigration. nearly
one million aliens were received in this country
in the fiscal year just ended. This would be a
matter for congratulation If the report did not
show that the great majority of the arrivals
were ignorant and undesirable. The same re-
port says that the number of immigrants next
year will probably exceed one million. and this
estimate will probably cause Congress to con-
slider the Commissioners suggestion as to
amending the existing immigration laws.

Some of the Filipinos are protesting against
modern methods of exterminating locusts. They
assert that they don't enjoy eating insects which
have been killed by a diet of fungus. In fact,
intestinal disorders are provoked by the indul-
gence and the health authorities in that quarter
of the world find it necessary to Danish the
grasshopper from popular bills of fare in certain
provinces. In the long run, doubt, saving
the crops will be recognized as a much greater
blessing than leaving untainted and alive their

that every will see it in that light at first.

BAD STREETS.

A gentleman who lives in another
city made a statement the other day
about our streets in which there was
more truth than poetry. He said it
could not be expected that Hatties
burg could have good streets at this
early age of its life. We are contin-
ually building; there are great piles
of brick and lumber and morter and
other building material in the streets
and they cannot be removed until
the buildings are completed. He
said: "You build up your town first
and good streets will naturally follow.
This doubtless is true to very large
extent, but if we cannot have good
streets now we certainly can remove
the old barrels and boxes that lie and
are decaying in them.
1t may be presumed, however,
that it will not be long before the
subject of paving the streets will be
agitated before the mayor and board
of aldermen, and they will
be paved too and not with good
intentions only.

NOT To resurrected. Living questions
must be met There is no time in a
crisis for the obtrusion of the personal
equation. The individual must be
swallowed up in the cause. Whether
Mr.. Bryan was right or wrong is now
an academic question; the. concrete
condition is that the republicans have
control of the country and it is
essential to the national welfare to
wrest their power from them. To
atain that end the aid and influence of
Mr.. Bryan would be welcomed. In
denying it he strikes a blow at his
party and lends strength to the
enemy. Nevertheless, if the democra-
tic party cannot count upon Mr.. Bryan
as an ally, it must prepare to wage
the battle without his assistance The
cause of the party transcends personal
ambition even as the existance of the
party has survived the lives of its most
illustrious leaders. .-Birmingham

MR.. BRYAN AND HARMONY.

1t is to be regretted by every true
democrat, that Mr.. Bryan assumes an
irreconcilable and defiat attitude to-
wards all attempts to harmonize the
orgaization. Certainly he must realize
that democratic success cannot be
achieved upon the platform of 1896 and
1900. Certainly he must accord to a
majority OF the party the right
to adopt platform based upon existing
conditions. 1t is not fair to the party
which has signally honored him to set
his opinion and prejudices as a barrier
to hsrmoy and victory. Yet unques-
tionably, that is his course.
Mr.. Bryan denouces the Palmer and
Buckner advocate, but he has no kind
word for the millions of democrats
who, disbelieving in the democratic
platform of 1896, yet vote for the nomi-
nees of the Chicago covention, recog-
nizing the right of the majority to
rule. The number of votes received
by Palmer and Buckner was insignifi
cant, and had no effect upo the result.
Mr.. Bryan's defeat was due to the
fact that he represented issues to which
the great majority of the American
people were, and are now unalterably
opposed.
Mr.. Bryan cries persecution. Yet he
is saying harsh things about those who
differ from him. He refuses TO sit at
the table with democratic leaders.
He sneers at those who suggest harm
ony, as if they were bent upon some
perfidious mission. He denies the
right of any one to question the wis
dom of his course. Unless he can
dominate the councils of the party and
dictate its course he is reckless of its
future.
Mr.. Bryan will lose man admirers
by his intolerance. The great masses
of democracy are awake to realiza-
ton that the party must get together.
] There is no need to discuss the plat
form of 1896 and 1900. The burning
questiona is the platform of 1904.
The democratic party wants TO win.

GREAT EXCITEMENT.
Students in Jones County Contest

There was great excitement all over
Jones county last Saturday, Feb
ruary IA, when two students from
each district, making fourteen in all,
met at the court house in Ellisville
to take part in the oratorical contest
J. p. Meyer had offered $40 gold
medal to the best speaker in the
county. Some one else offered a So
gold piece to the second best, and the
contest was to decide it. Miss Carrie
Ridgeway, youngest daughter of the
Methodist minister, Rev W. w.
Ridgeway, carried off the second
prize. Miss Ridgeway's friends here
will be delighted to hear this news.
AS she had never studied elocution,

Following are few Of the defini-
tions of the kiss:
A kiss is an insipid and tasteless
morsel, which becomes delicious and
delectable in proportion as it is fla
vored with love.
The sweetest fruit ON the tree of
love. The oftener plucked the more
abundant it grows.
A thing of use to no one, but much
priced by two.
The baby's right, the lovers privi-
lege, the parents benison and the
hypocrite's mask.
The food by which the flame of love
is fed.
The only known smack that will
calm a storm.
A telegram to the heart, in which
the operator uses the sounding system.
Nothing divided between two.
Not enough for one, just enough
for two; too much for three.
The only really agreeable two-faced
action under the sun, or the moon
either.
The sweetest labial of the world s
language.
Awoman's most effective argument,
whether to cajole the heart of a
father, control the humors of hus-
band or console the griefs of child
hood.
The thunder clap of the lip, which
inevitably follows the lightning
glance of the eyes.
A report at headquarters.
Every body's acting edition OF
Romeo and Juliet.
What the child receives free. what
the young man steals and what the
old man buys.

the cup Of love is full. kansas City
