few references to his oppo-
nents we're extremely courteous
and he did not predicate his
claim for the office Of Governor
upon the blighted reputation of
those against him. Throughout
the two hours OF his impassioAed
discussion of State issues ne was
eloquent, resourceful, graceful.
impressive and sincere and he
made a profound impression up
on the vast assembly and made
votes by the hundreds. The
great thought which impressed
itself upon every man through
out this mastery presentation
was that here is a sincere, up
right, honest, conscientious man;
man with convictions upon all
questions of State policy who is
able to give a sound reason for
every position and who is honest
and candid with his fellowman
and who does not fear to state
his position upon any question
and who, if elected. will give to
the people a clean and honest ad
ministration which has for its
foundation equal and exact jus
tice to all; special privileges to
none Vardaman presented the
various planks of his platform
with virility aud force and elo-
quence and impressiyeness and
captivated his hearers complete
ly. It was a speech which con-
frmed his friends and admirers
good opinion of him and made
him many new friends.
Judge Critz was expected but
at the last moment telephoned
that he would not come. Judge
Critz has no following in this
county and his refusal TO come
here is taken to mean that he
has surrendered and given up
this county.
After Vardaman s great speech
dinner and the barbecue was
served and after dinner a pleas
ant half hour was spent in social
intercourse and rest.
At two o'clock the crowd re-
assem- bled around the speaker s
stand and the speech making
again began. Nj. n. B. Craw-
ford, of Atlanta, presented his
cause for Railroad Commissioner
and he was followed by Mr.. J. 2.
Carter, of Hattiesburg. a candi-
date for Lieutenant-Go Governor
Senator Noel was then introduce
ed, just having arrived from Co
lum bus.
Mr. Noel began by criticising
Vardaman and then went INTO
discussion of the duties of Gov
erpor and reviewed his legisla-
tive and political career. Mr..
Noel was attentiyely listened to
by good crowd and made
good impression. He was follow
ed by Mr. T. M. Henry who pre-
sented his claim for Auditor.
The day was one Of great en-
jOyment; it permitted the people
of three great counties to mingle
together and hear the great is
sues so closely involving their
political fortunes and welfare.
1t was in all probability the last
time the people in this section
will hear the State candidates
before the primary on the 9th
of August.

some: Show me how a GENE

And again, THE manner in which
church property is kept and
cared for is a pretty accurate
basis of estimating the spiritual

the recent improvement around
their church properties have
greatly enhanced their comfort

the storm of the evening be-

than was at first expect

United States but their soulful protestations Of
injured Innocence reminiscent Of such infantile
squabbles.
It doesn't make great deal of difference which
side fred the first shot in the battle between Fort
San Carlos and the ships last week. for the fact
mains that great imperial Germany, with her huge
navy and nexhaustabe resources has acted the part
of the bully ever since the blockade commenced.
The fact remains that from the very start her
was unfair and unwarranted And the razing of the
fort looks like bullys display Of prowess and
perhaps quasi-defiance of the United States.
This government has evidently no desire to be
drawn into quarrel with Germany, but if the
latter really bankers after trouble she find it by
violating the Monroe Doctrine Until this is done
she will be permitted to bully helpless little states to
her hearts content This is eminenty sensible, for
there is no reason under the sun why the United
States should be responsible for Venezueas quarres
By the time this appears in print Minister
Bowen's mission will probably have been successful

pute with dignity and added prestige. Germany

LAST week The MIRROR took occasion to COM
ment on the action of the Toledo Ohio, Workhouse
Board in freeing those prisoners convicted of coal
thefts This week a truculent party writing over
the initials "E. g. A." enters petulent protest
against the comments of The MIRROR. We stand
on record on this subject and have no inclination
either to retract or apologize for our remarks We
stated that the action of the Toledo authorities ap-
peals to sense and take pleasure in reiterat
ing the statement. Our correspondent differs with
us on the matter The conclusion is obvious-our
correspondent is deficient in common sense. This
is, of course, to be regretted, but even E. G.. A
who by the way, exhibits fatuous desire to argue
the question-even E. G.. A. can scarcely hold The
MIRROR responsible for his shortcomings.
There is, however, an alternative possibility. It
may be that our correspondent is himself Coal
Baron We realize that this is serious accusation
to bring against any man, even by implication but
be it remembered the discussion is none of our
seeking, and there many things in E. G.. AS
communication that point to this conclusion. In
sanguine and impassioned language he harrows our
feelings by drawing a picture of coal dealer i'm
poverished by the action of the Toledo Board; of
lusty burglar going from shop to shop, from fence
to fence peddling the Goals flched from the needy
merchant Does not this SAVIOR of Baer? Again, he
refers to the possibility of great factories closing
down and armies of employees standing about with
their hands in their pockets, because coal thieves
have decamped with the fuel. Was he not thinking
of his boon companions, Frick and Carnegie, when
he penned those words? But there remains still
more convincing evidence: the letters A and G oc-
cur in the talisman Morgan; the letters A and E
occur in the name Baer, and all three letters E, G.,
and A, are to be found within the compass of the
approbrious epithet Lehigh Valley! Gould further
proof be desired?

AS THE facts concerning Canfeld's New York
gambling house come to light it becomes apparent
that no essential difference exists between the
gilded palace" and the sordid den of the frontier
The former is handsomely and tastefully furnished
and it's proprietor is and genemany in his de-
meanor the latter is barren and ugly and the propr
etor is an unshorn boor but both joints and both
have for their object the fleeing of the unwary by
fair means or foul Let there be no deception, the
square gambler doesn't exist The picturesque figure
created by Bret Harte and other writer's is felton,
pure and simple. The business precludes honesty.
So long the sucker is losing the house is content
with the large percentage in its favor, but the
moment the luck changes all sorts of brace games
are introduced This was the method employed by
Garfield and it is practiced by all professional gam
blers.
To say that it is foolish to enter gambling
house with view to winning any considerable sum
is to put it very mildly. It is the essence of as
sininity. IF the stakes high the proprietor has
got to win because like the boy in the story he faint
got no meat in the house." His rent is large. his
running expenses heavy and he must pay for
protection whether business is good or not Suckers
have got to be trimmed. The man who plays in a
gambling house in order to buy an evenings enter
tainment expecting to lose before he enters perhaps
knows his own business, but the one that follows
the pursuit with any hope Of beating the game is
veritable sheep. Garfield is crooked and the whole
tribe is crooked. aAse-e

In TRYING and convicting Arthur Lynch, ex-
newspaper correspondent, member of the British
Parliament and sometime colonel in the Boer army,
of treason, England has perpetrated merry farce.
COL Lynch will not be executed If he is even
subjected to long imprisonment it will be travesty
of justice so long as the thousand and one other
Irish subjects of the who fought for the Boer
cause are permitted to remain at liberty If it
constituted treason for Col. Lynch to fight against
England it was also treason for the others to do the
same thing.
But Col. Lynch not tried for treason, even
if the records say he He was tried for having
the efrontery and consummate impudence to attempt
to share in the government of Great Britain after
having expatriated himself to bear arms against her.
1t was scandalous, outrageous contemplate
thing to do and it deserves punishment-not a
British prison. but social ostracism. And society
would have to it that this was melted out to him
if he had not been arrested and tried for treason.
Now the British government has made itself ridicu-
lous and Col. Lynch is martyr in Ireland.
