There is mo- question but that the
cause OF the inspiration to send ont
that dispatch ct noon on last Thursday
saying that Noel had come down, was
that the Ortiz management feared that
Noel would get too many votes for
CrItz to be left In the race. The Critz
management dare not contemplate
their candidate running third In the
race and something must be done to
save this possibility. Col. Levy is not
a stranger to desperate political meth
eds, as his boodling, his ante mortem
statements aud his general editorial
work on the subsidized newspapers
have plainly shown. He was equal to
the emergency when It began to look
like Noel was running ahead of Ori1z
and might shut him out on the hrst
dash. The telegram was sent out ali
over the state, and to men who would
use Il to the best advantage. The
fact that It was signed by name that
nobody seemed to locate made no
difference. The hope was that Noel
men everywhere would desert their
man aud throw their votes to Critz.
Doubtless this was the result in many
instances. In this city the telegram
was discredited and suppressed,
though it was discussed somewhat in
inner circles. Senator Noel denounc.
ed the fake in an. interview In the
Time Democrat on the morning of the
7th His friends will not only de-
nounce it also, but they will see to 1t
that Judge Critz does not profit by
such vilhanous tactics. The only
thing Critz can hope for by going
through another primary is the ex.
posure OF bis dirty boodling politics,
by attempting to buy his way into the
Governors manson, the expenditure
Of few more thousands of dollars,
for those who have had taste of his
coin will be aVeracious for more, and
a defeat which will send him to politi-
cal oblivion in dishonor and discredit.
II he has enjoyed the reputation OF an
honest, Christian gentleman through
out his life, as his boosters claim, he
will not have such enjoyment when
this dirty campaign is ended. And
the stain upon his character will fol-
low him to his gravs.

A study Of the figures as published,
gslalming that q second primary Is nec-
asssary, is interesting. In many coun-
ties Vardaman carried practically a
solid vote, bic majority being two and
three to one over both of his Oppon-
sents. In most instances where one Of
the others carried q county it was by
3 small plurality vote. Vardaman
lacked but about !, 900 votes Of receiv-
ing more votes in the state than both
OF bis competitors. Don't doubt but
that the men who have voted for him,
will be only too anxious to 90 the polls
again and do the same thing. and he
viii certainly be able to draw from the
Noel vote the few necessary to give
him 3 clean majority. He win do more
than this; be viii draw from the Critz
column also, Tor when money hes once
influenced g vote, the poasessor Of that
vote considers the contract closed, and
NE next vote win be deposited to at
tone for the former humIliating act.

When such men as John Sharp Will
llams, Shed Hill, William Williams,
and others of similar note in the state
wire Major Vardaman that they are
ready to take the stump for him and
to ight to finish for the good name
Of Mississippi and for white suprema-
cy, It means something. 1t means
that II Mississippi makes the mistake
Of accepting as their nominee for q
Governor q man who is tied mp to
Roosevelt, an apologist for the negro,
and indorser OF the recommendations
Of Governor Longino to the legisla-
ture to pension negro rapists and to
pardon them for ell manner of crimes
and appoint them to office over white
m an, 1t will be with is eyes wide open.

The people OF this country need not
be surprised If there are serious finan'
ciaI results to follow the recent fur.
sries.on Wall Street. While specula-
tlons there are really not based on the
solid conditions Of the country, they
are Of such a gigantic character ss to
AFFECT the business world. It may be
illustrated in this way: If there is a
strong banking institution in your
city into the vaults Of which all the
people deposit their savings and the
man who handles those deposits gets

The sending Of Governor LOngino
to the stables last Thursday, where be
can mount bis best nag and start for
oblivion, was emphatic notice to all
aspirants for public favor In Missis-
sippi, that this state is not tainted to
any alarming extent with the spirit of
RoOseveltisna. Dispute the fact that
the Commereisl Appeal uses two coll
umns of editorial dross to tulOgizs
the GoYerner, It may be reiterated
without fear OF contradiction from any
reliable SQUIRE, that the people have
bad quite enough of the present ad-
ministration and It's dirty methods.
Even now, when there can be little
object in such g statement, It may be
reiterated that Longino has disgraoed
the state as none hope It will ever be
disgraced again by an executive, and
the people will be glad when the day
comes that be may be cid OF the
perch into political oblivion. They
want no more Of him nor his clique.

That dispatch which was sent out
under direction of the Critz headquar-

Noel had withdrawn, will not inspire
Noel men to break their necks now to
get into the Critz column. Noel de-

A brave man never relies upon his
wealth to advance him in the eyes of

Critz will be farther behind Missis-

Cheap and Cats Construction.
All existing railroad spans Of more

than IN the rest OF tLe world all TO-

than those OF any other country. In
a word, American engineers have

In the last quarter century, have de.
yeloped the art of bridge building tc
perfection that no other sort Of con-

Secret Of the Academic francaise,

In connection with the reception Of
NJ. de Vogue by the French Academy,
1t is noted that the new academician
made his opening address iaclrg to-
ward the southwest pillar Of the hall
SO has every new academician since
I819-since, in fact, the admission of
the Able Aiaury, who. feeble in voice
and fearing fiasco for his reception
speech, went to the hall some days in
advance to test his voice. Turning
slowly round as he spoke he noticed
clear echo as he faced the southwest
pillar. Several tests confirmed the
result, and Maury went away happy.
HIS reception was brilliant success.
He afterward gave his secret away,
and no academician has ever been
Known to ignore it.--LoDdOn Globe.
