ELECTRIC RAILWAY.

The person who would throw an
obstacle in the way of the build
ing of an electric railway in'' Hatties-
burg stands in his own light,
There are no dozen industries with
their combined influences that could
come SO near doubling the population
OF Hattiesburg i'll five years as an
electric railway, skirting the city
and traversing its center through
Main or some other centrally located
thoroughfare.
simultaneously with the coming
OF such an enterprise, land as far
out as three miles would come into
demand at miraculous prices. and
beautiful cottages and paying indus
tries would spring up and the sales
OF our merchants would be tenfold,
as result of this increased popula-
tion, over what they are today.
At Meridian recently as soon as it
was learned that Prof Beeson would
remove his college two miles bevond
the corporate limits of :the civ,
and that the electric railway COM
pany would extend their lire TO IT,
cid, wornout lands environinR the
way that could have been bought for
two dollars all acre advanced TO
twen s, fifty and hundred times
that price and all along the line a
building boom has started, and nat
urally the business men and citizens
generally feel that there il
nothing like an electric railway 70
give an awakening to slum berlne re.
sources.
Let's have the electric railway.
and up to our shoulders together now
for long, strong pull and a pull
altogether for its early coming.

MAYOR @. ". RICH.

Perhaps there is no mayor of any
city Of the south whose name is more
widely known or who enjoys a greater
or more favorable acquaintance
abroad than Mayor G. ". Rich Of
Hattiesburg, this acquaintance being
gained and the ties O. friendship
woven through the visits of people
here from all portions Of the country
who formed his acquaintance during
their stOp-over: basked in the cor
diality Of his welcome to, and treat
ment Of them as visitors while here,
and who bore away with them
pleasant and lasting memories Of
him, and the little city he presides
over, and to which he has given so
many of the best days of his life.
The writer, who has, the past two
years, visited every city and town Of
prominence in the scuth, has had an
opportunity Of knowing this to be
true, having thousands and thousands
of times heard his name mentioned,
and always in a most complimentary
way. Many have met him here on
public days, at banquets or social
functions, and these especially grow
enthusiastic when speaking of his
style of genuine southern hospitality
and digni1ied bearing, being, they
say, the one that stranger would
point to in lined-up crowd Of
thousand who. il not mayor, bore
every resemblance to one. Not a
/ few OF these are familiar with the
conditions that prevailed here eat
the tina Mayor Rich took hold Of
the reins of government and they
say they don't believe the man lives
who could have more gracefully stood
between the extreme and liberal ele-
ments and brought greater stillness''to
the troubled waters.
And here, at home, it is known
that at times when visiting bodies
were here surveying the field with a
view to investment, or to court
closer commercial relations times
when it was necessary that the city
put its best foot forward, Mayor Rich
not only gave every moment of hi:
time to the entertainment of these
visitors, but went down into his
pockets and allowed no citizen to out
do him in bearing the fnancia
brunt
Charlie Rich, in private life, wa
always liberal and as mayor tba
, characteristic has marked his steward
ship, for his administration, whethe
carried out to the full meaning Of th
motto or not, was intended as on
forsaking none and blessing all. :"
!, Knowing Charlie Rich as th
writer does, he could brook no ide
: having for its meaning that he eve
committed an error knowingly O
wilfully wronged friend, and thi
notice of him is intended as jus
- tribute to a man worthy of it all an
:. more.

THE GAZETTE gave the Collins gu
bernatorial candidacy news just a
little bit in advance of any other
paper. Two weeks ago it was an
nounced that Mr.. Collins would be
candidate, and that Attorney Gen
eral Douglas or Judge Elliott would
be appointed to succeed him. With
in the week Judge Collins made the
announcement, and as soon as he
resigns. unless present plans go
awry, one of the other two gentle
men will be appointed to succeed
him. Mr.. Douglas has a little bit
the best of it just now.

Should Mr.. Eustis get into the
fight, the contest will be further
complicated. The lines now seem to
be drawn with Mr.. Dunn on one
side, Judge Collins and the admin
istration on the other, while Frank
Eddy is on neutral ground, ready to
receive the honors, or holding the
balance of power and ready to take
whatever either of the other two
candidates may wish to throw his
way. Candid observers must give
Mr.. Dunn the best of the battle at
this time.

THE NEW RICHMOND.

Hon. Loren w. Collins, associate
Justice of the supreme court, has
announced through his home paper,
the St. Cloud Journal Press, that he
is now a candidate for the Republican
nomination for governor. While he
will be so regarded by the Republi-
cans of the state, his candidacy
cannot be taken very seriously
until he passes his resignation to
Gov. Van SAINT and the latter APP
points his successor. Then it will
be evident that Judge Collins is
sincere and has no string attached
to the announcement.
OF Judge Collins everything good
may be said. We believe that no
one can say aught evil of his long
life in Minnesota politics, and per-
chance the nomination should fall to
him he would make a successful
nominee and good governor. y
With the announcement of the
Collins candidacy came the other
announcement that Gov. Van SAINT
would not stand for a denomination
or attempt to become a third termer.
It is even reported now that Mr..
Eustis OF Minneapolis may be can
didate for the place, making a field
of four active candidates. Should
he enter the arena it would undoubt-
edly be for the purpose OF weaken
ing Robert G. Dunn. who is strong
in Henpepin county.
The situation was never more
complicated. MIR Dunn was gain
ing ground so rapidly that it be-
came necessary to enter Judge Col
Inns at this early period in a contest
to end eight months hence. Country
newspapers were coming to his
standard every week. Old-line pol
iticians were enlisting under his
banner. A stop was essential, OF
his opponents would so down before
the wave. The stopper has been
placed, but will it stand the test Of
it's purpose?
Judge Collins candidacy sintend-
ed to split Mr.. Dunns strength II
the north a fight in his own home
as it were and while it will m
doubtedly have some effect, its ex-
tent cannot now be determined.
That Judge Collins will be import

A1ruoUeH THE people of the country
,,ore baen told from time to time during
the past two years that the war in the
Philippines is over and that peace pre-
walls there, just so often do reports
from those far away islands contradict
these statements. Dispatches from Ma
Mia today say that the town of Surlgao,
in the northeastern part Of the Island OF
Mindanao, was captured yesterday by
Ladrones, who killed Constabulary In
snector Clarke and several Others. A
detachment of 30 men belonging to the

orders to recapture that place. The
Filipinos we're at war with Spain for four

they have but transferred their enmity
to the recent purchasers of their islands

Murder ON the High Seas.

Liverpool, March 24.-Otto Monson,
Ludwig Flore, William Smith and
Gustaye Rau. the four seamen of the
British bark Veronica, who have been in
cusodv here for eight weeks past on a
charge of having murdered the captain
and crew of the bark and then set fire to
the vessel, were broughtup for trial this
morning. Flore, who was released that
he might turn Kings evidence, was
called to the stand. He said that Rar
was the ringleader. Rau, he asserted,
ordered him to kill the man at the wheel,
and then turned his attention to the
captain. Rau threw a Delaying pin at
the captains chest and then fired two
shots at him. The captain crawled into
the cabin but Rau followed him and
again shot him. The Veronica sailed
from Ship Island, Miss, October 6,
bound for Montevideo. That was the last
heard of her until the British steamer
Brunswick picked up the four seamen
now on trial at Liverpool, and the cook
of the vessel. The men were picked up
near the Island of Madeira.
Monson killed Parsons while the latter
was lying in his bunk, and Rau had
murdered Doran with a Delaying pin.
Afterwards Rau spoke to Captain Shaw
and the second mate both of whom were
terribly wounded. The captain begged
for his life so that he could see his wife
and children again, and added: 'For
Gods sake give me a drink of water.
I'll give you my gold watch and III
take you to any port" Smith handed
the captain cup of water. Captain
Shaw then gave the chart and the glasses
to Rau who shut the captains cabin.
Later Rau drove Captain Shaw and the
mate out of the cabin. When they
reached the deck Rau shot the captain,
and Smith and Monson shot the mate
Both the wounded men were throwr
overheard
