| quiet Mr. Bryan was in the state sew
| eral times before the convention was
| held which repudiated the Kansas City
platform. but since then he has done
nothing. He did not even answer the
polite invitation Of the committee to
speak in the state. An effort was made
to induce his friend. Congressman
Hitchcock, of Nebraska, to come into
The state, but he declined. Ex-Gov.
| Thomas, of Colorado, was in Des
| Moines on the occasion of political
rally and he was advertised to speak
and invited to do SO. but he remained
! in his room at the hotel and did not
concern himself with politics. And SO
lit appears all along the line. the free
silver element Of the party is doing
nothing while the other fellows are
doing all the fighting that is being
done. a few years ago when the dem
ocrats wanted campaign material cir
culated in the state they called on the
Omaha World Herald, most radical of
the free silver organs; this year they
are making use of the material fur
nished thru Mr.. Hearst, which Is known
to be antagonistic to the aspirations
Of Bryan and continuation of the free
made by the democrats over the votes
of the past will be credited to the fact
that they have dropped free silver and
not to any activity of the free silver
men.

Professor J. F. Riggs, Of ,Keokuk

a house in Des Moines and come here

until after election, but that it lies
between two men, so that others need

for the place. Nothing is known Of the

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1903-11-19

There eau be doubt that there Is a
rapidly-growing sentiment against The
sale Of whiskey in Mississippi, even IN
counties where the saloon Is being H..
ceused. The following from The Wood
vile Republican is one Of the many ev
licences that prove this assertion:
"The time Is near at hand when new
licenses must be secured ia our town
for The continuance Of the sale Of liquor.
aud the petitions are now being circu-
lated. as the law directs, with that end
iu view. ahere has been more than the
usual amount Of discussion this year,
brought out no doubt by the fact that
several Of the former signers have re-
fused to again affix their names TO thrse
petitions, together with 8 change Of
sentiment Oh The subject"
The saloon has been a curse 10 Mis-.
sis.ippi and the sooner Il is driven out
Of every county the better will be the
moral and financial condition OF the
stale.
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1903-11-19

The following article from the Scott
County Register shows how facts can be
distorted by repetition:
"claiborne county has the honor Of
claiming the only Chinese farmer 10
Mississippi. His name Il Quoug Thorn.
as. and the almond eyed celestial runs
farm Of 100 acres near Port Gibson
where he cultIvates fine variety Of cot
ton, all Of which is shipped to the Ori-
ent. Thomas has been quite successful,
and within the past few years has ac-
cumulated a snug account In the savings
bank"
The first published notice Of Quoug
Thomas farming interests appeared in
the "Quiduunk Kwilletts" column Of
the Reveille Of Oct. aeth. and reads as
follows:
"The Chinese farmer has come to clai.
borne county, and Is factor near Port
Gibson. His name Is Quong Tbomas
He runs 100 acres Of the Hopes place
aud II is cultivated in Cotton. May be
the Nsukeen variety Of the staple is
wanted for export to the Dragon King
dom Of China. The wise Chinamau is a
fertiliziug farmer, for that has to be his
savings bank account"
There IS no intimalion that Quong
Thomas Is cutivating "a fine variety Of
cotton" or that the cotton sis shipped
TO the Orient" or that he has been en-
gaged In farming "for the past few
years." or that he "has accumulated
snug account In the savings bank +"
While these slight inaccuracies are Of
small moment, for the purpose OF easing
the minds Of our large planters we will
say that Thomas Is a merchant OF Port
Gibson and his farm Is "side-show."

ing into this allnriug business. II will
take a big crop next year TO put the
price Of cotton much lower than it is
now selling. There will be no surplus,
and the demand is constantly increas-
ing. There can be no doubt that the
planters and farmers have gathered the
cream Of prosperity In the south this
season, and we must admit that the
much-abused farm.life is quite tempting
But the wisest followers of the pillow
must see danger ahead one, the boil
weevil another, glulted market. This
last danger could hardly affect the bust
ness next year; but a propitious season

other season OF high prices, wouId ma
terially affect the market value Of the
crop.

The.Memphis Commercial Appeal, IN
recent editorial, attacked Congress
man B. G. Humphreys for having ex-
pressed himself as fsvoring the nomi-
nation Of Grover Cleveland for presi-
dent. The Commercial Appeal further
criticized Mr.. Humphreys, and the vol-
ers Of his district, for his having made
the race ss "gold.bug."
The last charge is utterly untrue. Mr..
Humphreys had no opponent, and this
question was not mentioned.
MI. Humphreys belief that Mr. cleve-
land Is the most available timber for the
Democratic nomination Is an Indication
that he has given the matter thought.
Many former an,i-cleveland men agree
with him in this, and We doubt If the
commercisl-AppeaI's harbored bitter
ness toward Mr.. Cleveland wilI avail
much.

Perhaps you have never thought Of it but
the fact must be apparent to every one that
constipation is caused by lack Of water in
the system, and the use of drastic cathartics
like the old-fashioned pills only makes a
bad matter worse. Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets are much more mild and
gentle in their effect, and when the proper
dose is taken their action is so natural that
one can hardly realize it is the effect Of a
medicine. Try a IS cent bottle Of them.

AS. A YOUTH.
wash lnston Did Many Things whe.
. BOY That Were Worthy Of
q Grown Man.

The early age at which Washington
developed the tender passion has been
noticed. In fact. it was despair at tho
uncompromising attitude Of certain
"Lowland Beauty" that he fed to the
domain Of Lord Fairfax, afterwards
his patron. The noble gentleman had
left England and buried himself in
the wilderness on account Of disap-
pointed passion; perhaps George, who
was then coming Is, felt there might
be bond between two such wounded
hearts," at any rate, before he had
been many months under Fairfax's
eye, just as he was completing his six
teenth year, he set out on surveying
expedition. The Englishman's ground
included thousands of acres Of the
most fertile country in the world, ex-
tending in a wide strip from the SEE
to the Alleghanies. It was no small
sign of confidence to allow a youth to
lay out such country.
This position is merely sample Of
the many important places he held.
At 10 he was major of the Virginia
militia; at 81 he commanded an impor-
tant expedition to Du Quesne. Small
wonder is it that his first love came 50
young.-CincinnatiE Enquirer.

SAID OF WASHINGTON.

Just honor to Washington can only
be rendered by observing his pre-
cepts and initiating his example,
Robert C. Winthrop.
However his military fame may
excite the wonder of mankind, It il
chiefly by his civil magistracy that
Washingtons example will instruct
them.-Fisher Ames.
A great and venerated character
like that of Washington is
not an isolated fact in history to be
regarded with barren admiration-k
is q dispensation Of Providence for
good.-E. Everett.
He illustrated and adorned the civ
ilization of Christianity and furnished
an example Of the wisdom and per-
lection of its teachings which the
subtlest arguments Of its enemies
cannot impeach.-Zebulon B. Vance.
George Washington, the brave, the
wise, the good. Supreme in war, in
council and in peace. Washington.
valiant, without ambition; discreet,
without fear; confident, without pre-
sumption.-Dr. Andrew Lee.
To add brightness to the sun or
glory to the name of Washington is
alike impossible. Let none attempt
it. In solemn awe pronounce the
name, and in its naked. deathless
splendor leave it shining on.-Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Let him who looks for monument
to Washington look around tho
United States. Your freedom, your
independence. your national power,
your prosperity and your prodigious
growth are q monument to him.

wAsH1NGToN's BIRTHPLACE.
mt {. Small Monument Marks the
Spot at Wakefield Farm on
the Potomac.

Mount Vernon has become great
mecca for the American tourist; at
Yorktown and Valley Forge stand
stately reminders of the First Gen.
tleman of America, while in every
part of the land the smallest memen-
toes of his life and actions are reli-
giously preserved; but in magnificent
decay on the lower Potomac lies
Wakefield Farm, which was associ-
ated with his early life. A simple
granite shaft marks the spot where
George Washington was born, and a
few bricks and stones are all that
remain of his early home.
The old country mansion was
burned early in the last century, but
the brick chimney, within whose arch
four people could sit, and the corner
stones, with portion of the founda-
ton, were saved. Shortly before the
civil war the historic farm passed
into the hands of family which at
first showed some appreciation for
it's associations. A succeeding gen.
GRAFTON, however, tore down the
chimney and. the remnant of the
walls in order to secure the bricks.
A marble slab bearing an inscription
giving the date of Washington's birth
and other information, which had
been set into the great arch, was
removed to the old family grave
yard; but in placing it beneath two
ancient fig trees planted by the moth
err of Washington, it was broken, and
it's fragments lie there to-day, moss
grown and vine-covered.
1t was in 1895 that the national
COVE rnmcnt erected at Wakefield a
miniature copy of the Washington
monument, with the inscription
''Washington's Birthplace" and in
small letters at the base the words:
directed bv the United States, A.
d. 5."-Waldon Fawcett, in Wom-
mans Home Companion.
