From Sundays Paper.

The recent primary served to
accom- plish one end and that was
to betray to the people Of the
State the brazen trafficry in the
jud diciary under Longino's ad-
ministration. The pernicious ac-
tivity in political matters of GER
tain judicial appointees and the
subsequent reward of others
who rendered faithful service to
the Governor s cause has focused
attention on this evil and has
aroused public Indignation to
such an extent that their cOntir-
nation by the next senate is
seriously in doubt The prOsti-
tuition of the judiciary is the
greatest danger to human rights
and liberty that we know of and
when political considerations are
the chief recon mendation and
fitness and capacity are trampled
under foot, the good name Of
Mississippi, her institutions and
her civil life are in bad way. ItI
should be the pleasure as we'll as
the duty of the peoples repre-
sentatives in the next legislature
to repudiate such disreputable
deals and to set the standard
high for an incorruptible and un-
impeachable bench in MISSISSIPPI

To Be Expected.

JACKSON. Miss. Aug. 31.-It
is the concensus of opinion here
that the present primary election
law is a delusion and a snare,
and that the next Legislature,
the very first that has been elect.
ed under it's provisions, will be
called upon to repeal or to amend
it very materially. 1t is known
here that Governors and United
States Senators were traded off
for Beat Constables and Justices
of the Peace and there is a
strong demand for the State and
the county primary elections
shall be held on different days if
there are to be primaries at all.
There are great many who
would gladly turn back to the
old fashioned county and State
method of selecting candidates
for Office.

Mississippi Matters.

Mississippi's new capitol has
been virtually completed and is
awaiting the removal of the State
officers into it. The last legisla-
ture made no provision for main
tanning the capitol and the Gov
ernor will probably be compelled
to borrow money to run it until
the legislature meets.
Brooks Story, the famous out
law who uses the Mississippi
penitentiary as a place of rest
escaping and returning at will.
has just disappeared from the
walls for the fifth time. Brooks
tired of the Rankin farm the
past week and walked off. No
doubt he will return after a reas-
enable absence.
The Meridian Press, which
was established a few years ago
with a capital OF fifty thousand
dollars and which had a fine field
with good railroad schedules and
able and capable and experienced
men at its head, has suspended.
It requires money to run a news
paper, even a semi weekly and
weekly, much less a daily.

BROWNS STRATEGY.


Brown had but few thousand
bales yet to unload when the
market opened. Deciding to
clean up, he went in and bought
September options freely, bid
ding for 10000 bales at a time.
At the same time he had a score
of brokers selling. At the sight
of the cotton king buying in per-
son, shorts run to cover and the
cotton they got was Brown stuff.
After running the price of
September up from II. 45 to 11.68
or S1.15 bale, Mr.. Brown fairly
.smothered the room with as
result, for the whole cotton trad
ing and consuming world was
left with the suspicion that the
Brown pool was loading up for
another long campaign whereas
the exact reverse was true.
There are seven men in the
pool proper; Mr.. Brown has been
the leader, but F. 2. Hayne and
Ell. d. Vincent have been heavily
interested. T. J. Majors. Ma
son Smith, g. G. Cordell and F.
L. Lonshore are holders of small
interests. OF course there have
been tailers who have made sew
eral millions more, but the pool
proper was composed of only
seven men.

Brown Closes Out.

New York, Sept. 2-W. P.
Brown, the New Orleans king OF
cotton, to-day closed his great
corner.
He has exchanged his spot cot
ton for above 100000 in spot
cash. He has laid down the crown
where anybody who thinks he
can wear it may pick it up. Theo-
dore FL. Price has laid hands on
the crown, having placed himself
at the head of a big bear pool
which will operate through the
firm Of S. Meld & Co.
Daniel J. Sully, who became
celebrated last spring when he
made above 100000 in a cor
ner on March cotton without the
outlay of a single dollar of origi-
nal money, is out of the market
believing, with Mr..
Brown, that the future course of
prices is a matter of chance.
Both Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Sully
stand ready to spring into the
pit and do battle for the leader
ship as soon as the trend of the
market is proved with reasonable
GER rtainty.

County Medical Society.

The, Shiawassee County Medical
Society held their regular monthly meet
ing at the Armory on Thursday last A
large number of members were in at
tendance and the meeting was the most
interesting of any yet held. DR.. Victor
Q. Vaughan was present and gave the
society his views on tuberculosis. He
emphasized the necessity of making an
early diagnosis in these cases. and con-
tended that of such cases if early dag
nosed and properly managed ninety per
cent got well. tuberculosis could be
diagnosed before the bacilli appeared
in the sputum. He laid great stress on
the loss of weight, rise of temperature
and prolonged exploratory murmur,
as important diagnostic symptoms
All these conditions might exist in
patient who considered himself but
slightly indisposed. From a better
knowledge of the sources of infection,
better dieting and better sanitary sur
roundings, the mortality from tuber-
culosis is rapidly decreasing. There is
no longer any question but that the milk
and flesh of tuberculous cattle taken as
food causes the disease in human beings.
Tie chief source of infection however is
from inhaling the dust of the dried
sputum. When the case was seen late
and the infection a mixed one then it
was most invariably fatal. He roundly
scored the legislature for not providing
means for caring for the consumptive
poor; remarking that if twenty thousand
cattle died annually of some preventable
disease, the means would tie forthcom-
ing at once to help stay the plague, but
the consumptive poor can care for them
selves. Twenty thousand human lives
annually sacrificed to this dread plague
of consumption passed unheeded. The
German government had an ideal way
of caring for its INDECENT sick. He
thought physicians too should be more
honest with these patients and tell them
the truth, not through sympathy or for
any other reason deceive them by calling
their affliction by some other name.
Tell them the exact truth and put them
in the best possible way to avert the
danger to themselves and to others.
He recited many of his laboratory ex-
periments on rabbits and guinea pigs
with the tubercular germ, all of which
were exceedingly interesting and in
structive.
He next went into a discussion n of the
various treatments of tuberculosis and
their comparative merits, and finally
clearly and concisely detailed his own
management of these cases. The mem
bership then piled him with numerous
questions to which he gave brief and
satisfactory answers.
On motion vote of thanks was ten
dered him for his most excellent ad-
dress.
The society then proceeded to the
election of officers for the ensuing year,
which resulted as follows:
President-Dr Mccormick
Vice president-Dr Yeomans
Sec-Treas-Dr Shickles
Delegate to the State Council-Dr.
Lamb
Alternately Arnold
Directors--Drs. Cudworth, Howard,
and Eldred.

Death of Rev 3. r. Matrau.

News of the death of Rev. B. f
Matrau, former pastor of Christ Church,
this city, which occurred at st. Luke's
hospital, Chicago, Friday, was received
with profound regret by his many
friends in this city. Mr.. Matrau had
been in poor health for several years
and recently had suffered two strokes of
paralysis.
Benjamin F. Matrau was born near
st. Joseph, Mich, in February, 1S40
Before he was 16 years of age he enlisted
in Michigan regiment and saw about
one years service in the war of the re-
bellion. His health being broken he re-
ceived an honorable discharge and re-
turned to his home and for a time his
life was dispaired of. He rallied, and
later devoted himself to business for q
few years; then he determined to enter
the ministery and studied at Fairbault,
MINI. He was ordained in 1877, and
was advanced to the priesthood the next
year. His first parish was at Louisiana,
Mo. From there he came to Christ
church, this city, and went next to st.
Johns church, Saginaw in 1888, and
was rector there until December, 1889.
He went to Idaho Springs, Col, where
he remained for little over year, and
then went to ST. Bartholomew church,
Engelwood, now Chicago. In Owosso.
Saginaw and in Chicago part of his
work was the securing of church build
ings. The complete and magnificent
buildings of st. Bartholomew parish.
Chicago, will be an enduring monument
to his memory. But, however, wisely
he builded in brick and stone, his endur-
ing work was in moulding the lives and
characters of men and women. The
church press may properly eulogize him
as clergyman, but he was more. He
was man among men, a true friend
whose sympathies were not circumscrib-
ed by class or condition, a patriot, a
good citizen. Freely We have received,
freely give" was the golden text of his
life, and there was nothing that he pos
sessed, whether of counsel, sympathy or
material things, that he would not
cheerfully give to him who needed. To
his family, to the churches he served as
rector, to his friends who are legion, ne
leaves what is beyond price, the example
of noble, Christian character.
He is survived by his wife. Funeral
services were held in Vicksburg, Mich,
on Monday, proceeded byservices held
in st. Bartholomew church, Engelwood
on Sunday.
