Jennie Baxter reached her hotel as
quickly as fast pair of horses could
take her. She had succeeded, yet few
rebellious tears of disappointment
trickled down her cheeks now that she
was alone In the semidarkness Of the
carriage She thought Of the eager
Young man left standing disconsolately
on the curb, with her glove dangling
In his hand, and she bitterly regretted
that unkind fortune had made it posi-
BILE for her to meet him only under false
pretenses. One consolation was that he
had no clew to her identity, and she
was resolved never, never to see him
again; yet, such is the contrariness OF
human nature, no sooner was she re-
freshed by this determination than her
tears flowed more freely than ever.
She felt that she was as capable of
ENJOYING scenes like the function she
had Just left as any who were there; as
fitted for them by education, by per
sonal appearance or by natural gifts OF
the mind as the most welcome Of the
duchess guests; yet she was barred out
from them as effectually as was the lost
peri at the closed gate. Why had capri

girl was now face to face with the real
tiles Of life, and the events she had so
recently taken part in would soon blend

night porter:

his hand and ran lightly up the stairs.
The porter was well accustomed to the

tipped so generously they might order
an omnibus and welcome, so the han

GOVERNOR LONGING.

The Meridian Press, which
started into the campaign for Sen
ator Money, but which served
notice on him several weeks ago
that it would not stand the sort Of
campaign he was making, in its
issue of Monday last has the
following sensible advice for Mis-
sissippians: ''The people of Mis-
sissippi fully recognize the fact
that this is progressive era in
the history of there State; that the
are present opportunities to go
toward to build up, to develop;
and they are not slow to grasp
these opportunities. If the State
has pushed forward in the advance
column of industrial progress the
past several years, all credit for
this onward and upward move
ment belongs to the wisdom and
energies of the people and the
natural gifts SO. bountifuliy be-
slowed upon this State by the
hands of Providence. True patri-
otism is that which looks well to
the cares of the commonwealth of
today and tomorrow. Past
achievements are already won and
past failures are dead. Life and
activity are the watchwords, and
every opportunity to stimulate
the one or revive the other
should be seized by the people.
The election of Governor Lon
gino to the United States Senate
at this time would prove a boon
to Mississippi. His vigorous
manhood, broad spirit and intel
lectual acumen..wuold' 'provea pow
er at Washington; and his cleo
tion of itself, presents an invita-
tion to capital and to labor to
come to this State, develop its re-
sources and add to the prosperity
of our people.
As governor Of this State Mr..
Longino has splendidly demon.
strated his honesty Of purpose.
and ability to lead. He has seized
opportunities for the people, as
their chief executive and consum.
mated plans and propositions for
popular achievements suggested
by himself, and enacted By faith
full and wise legislation Of represen
tatiyes Of the people.
His ambition to occupy th,
highest Legislative position in th,
/ gift of the people Of his State il
llaudable; and the opportunity
presented the State to have hin
Irepresent her in the high coun
Ecil Of the nation should not be
neglected at this time. There
Ioan be no sentiment higher thar
THAT which springs from a desire
Ito advance the interests Of the
State TO her present and future
generations to place the common
wealt on the highest plane made
possible by the natural gifts vouch
safed to the State.

GIVES MONEY UNDUE CREDIT.

In closing his letter to the Hon.
Frank Johnston, generating
Gov. Longino from the pardon
of the old negro, Nance, Justice
IS. S. Calhoon said:
am amazed to find any
charge made against Gov. Longi-
no for this act, than which none
can be more thoroughly vindi-
Gated, and it is difficult to be-
lieve that any Mississippian could
have resorted to such a. charge
for political purposes, and /
know it is impossible that it could
be approved Of by Senator Mon
ley, Gov. Longino's distinguished
Opponent for the United States
SENATE.
Judge Calhoon here gives SEN
ator Money entirely t6o much
credit. He has overestimated
his man. One of the most distin-
guished and reputable private
lcitizens of Mississippi, whose
name we can furnish, if need be,
| told the editor of the Leader the
lother day, that the first he ever
heard of this charge against the
| Governor was from the lips OF
Senator Money, while the two
were riding together on an IlIi-
nois Central train in North Mis-
lsissippi. The gentleman says

ldent purpose Of prejudicing him.

THE FIGURES.

IhE FldVRES.
That Vardaman's campaign
thunder is an appeal to the vicious
and Ignorant white people and an
insult to the intelligent voters of
the State can be proven by figures
and they can't be made to falsi.
fy.
Mr.. Vardaman advocates a di-
vision of the school fund so that
each race may have the benefit
of its own contributions to the
fund; he then urges that the
white people of the State pay
almost the entire tax. This
sounds extremely we'll in theory,
and would doubtless make the
"LeFlore statesman many friends
If its logic were not so palpably
erroneous.
A large portion of the tax in
Mississippi is paid by, the rail-
roads, cotton mills, oil mills,
banks and other incorporated con-
Germs whose stock may be owned
by either white or black men, and
therefore it cannot be classified as
belonging to either race. A di-
vision of. the revenues accruing
from these sources, under Mr..
Vardaman's plan, would neces-
sarily have to be made by pro-
rating to each lace an allotment
according to the number of educa-
Bile children. As the negro child
rem of the State outnumber the
white vastly, the result is obvious.
We will illustrate: In the Fayette
Separate School District there
are ITO educable children, 900
of whom are negroes and -270
whites; in the maintenance of
the schools of this District $50. 90
per month is paid in salaries to
the two negro teachers employed
for a seven months term in each
year; in the white school with
less than a third as many children
to derive the benefit of a prorated
school fund) seven teachers are
paid $433.33 per month for a
nine months term. The condi-
tions existing here is a fair index
to what is being done throughout
the State in this matter, and if
any body ought to advocate Var
daman's policy it should be the
negroes themselves, for certain
its adoption would benefit them
only.
He who runs may read.o A
man neither need be a prophet or
the son of a prophet to see that
should this fanatical rot become
law it would result" disastrously
for white educational interests in
Mississippi.
If one thought that the apostle
of the division of school moneys
was sincere in desire to better
present conditions then the man
tie of charity for his ignorance
would keep thinking people from
exposing it; but Mr.. Vardauman
is as well acquainted with the in
|eVitable result of the adoption of
this plan as is any man, and is
simply trying to use race preiu-
dice in an ignoble effort to Sc
cure for himself political distinc-
ton and an honor of which he is
entirely unworthy. There is
nothing big nor great about man
