Major Vardaman's Campaign.

The official count OF the vote cast by
the Democratic primary in Mississippi
leaves the question Of the Governorship
Of that State still in uncertainty. A
second primary is necessary. II will be
held week from next Thursday and on
that day it will be determined whether
the forces of reaction and radicalism,
awakened into activity by the policy Of
irritation and aggression with reference
to the negroes, shall win or not.
Major JAMES X. VARDAMAN Of Green
wood is the standard bearer of this ele-
ment in the State He and the Hon.
FRANK A. CRITz received the highest
number Of votes at the primary The
contest is between them. Mr.. CRITz
stands for conservatism and liberal
opportunity to the negroes for the i'm
provement of their condition through
education.
Mr.. VARDAMAN has made his campaign
on a platform the reverse of this. He
has frankly opposed affording the ne
groes an opportunity for educational
advancement. His theory has been that
whereas the negroes have been practi-
cally disfranchised at the cost Of
much money and tribulation it would
be folly to keep on spending money TO
raise them to an educational level which
would restore to them the ballot.
Major VARDAMAN does not represent
the people of the State of Mississippi in
his attitude toward the negroes. Under
normal conditions-th conditions, let
us say, which existed at the time OF
President MCKrNLEY's death--his can
didaoy on such an issue as he has been
advocating would have been hopeless
The numbers of those whom he might
rally to the support Of his platform
were every year diminishing
The only hope of politicians Of the
habit of thought of Major VARpAAsAN
was in some outside irritant which would
enable them to appeal to passions that
were fast approaching extinction. I'm
fortunately, the irritant so much desired
by the reactionaries. and 50 dreaded by
those who represent what is best in the
State was supplied. That Major VAR
DAMAN nearly carried the State at the
primaries is not so surprising. in view Of
the bitter feeling recently aroused, as
that he failed to carry it by heavy
majority.
The incident demonstrates the strength
of the conservative forces in Mississippi
in the face Of events calculated TO over
whelm them.

The Ceremony at Oyster Bay.

The imposing pageant organized for
to-day in the waters near Sycamore Hill
is in one respect without precedent or
parallel in the history of our navy.
The ships concerned were engaged in
man9uvres for practice hundreds OF
miles from Oyster Bay. along the coast
of Maine. They were summoned thence
to Long Island Sound for inspection.
Having been reviewed and inspected by
the Constitutional Commander-in-Chief
at Oyster Bay, the great fleet Of battle
ships, cruisers, gunboats, torpedo-boat
destroyers and small craft will steam
back hundreds of miles to the Maine
coast to resume the ordinary exercises
for the promotion Of discipline and the
test of efficiency.
This is an entirely new feature OF naval
inspection; new, that is to say, on the
western side of the Atlantic. The Com
mander-in- Chief does not take the May
flower the Sylph or the Dolphin and 90
to see his squadrons. The Commander
in-Chief remains stationary; the squad
rons come to him, and with the roar OF
twenty-five hundred cannon shots the
ships salute him at his home.
1t is a new thought; the inspiration OF
an actively commanding mind. IL has
occurred to no President before Mr.
ROOSEVELT, although several of his pre-
decessors have possessed or occupied
residences by the waterside, conven-
iently situated for an inspection and
ceremony of this kind.

regard the Land Purchase act as a
righteous and wise law, which for its
far-reaching consequences seems likely
to be classed by the historian among the
greatest achievements of British legis-
lators. Unquestionably, it represents a
profound revolution in the attitude OF
the British public mind toward the moral
claims of the Irish people To appreci-
ate the breadth and depth of the change
we need only recall the fact that in 1888
Mr. GLADSTONE introduced not only
Home Rule bill, but also Land Purchase
bill. and that it was opposition to the
latter, not to the former measure, that
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN made the pretext for
desertion OF his chief.
Now Land Purchase bill, quite as
sweeping in it's provisions, lis framed
and passed by the nti-Gladstonian
party, of which Mr. CHAMBERLAIN was
an organizer. In view OF the amazing
Transformation effected in Unionist SEN
timent with reference to Land Pur-
chase, and of the fact that the Landlord
garrison" having been legislated out OF
existence, can no longer be described
as needing to be protected against a
Dublin Parliament. we see nothing i'm
probable in the report that the Balfour
Government, should it retain power for a
few years, can be persuaded to give Ire
land large installment OF Home Rule.
Whatever political party shall be domi-
nant at Westminster hereafter, public
opinion will compel it to conform to the
beneficent precedent established by MIR.

He tells us only that "the striking feat

making the courts accomplices.
1t is hard to imagine a greater degra-
dation of law than to rush and quicken
it's orderly procedure through fear Of the
mob. Yet this is what some of the men
who think that they are against lynching
are now doing. They are really stimu-
lating lynching. They are filing the
lynchers with virtuous self-satisfaction
and apologizing for the murder they do.

BASE BALL.
Reds Robbed at Huntingburg.

The Jasper Reds went to Hunt
ingburg Sunday and attempted to
defeat nine men and the umpire,
but after putting up with his un
fair decisions for over six innings,
and finding no improvement in his
rulings they decided that the umpire
was too much for them, and quit
the game on account Of an unfair
decision on second base in the 9TH
inning with the score 5 to 5. The
Reds out-played the Babies all
through the game but it was useless
to attempt TO defeat the umpire.
The following is the score as fer as
the game was played:
