SOME MISSISSIPPI NEWSPAPERS.

Mississippi has some good newspa
pers whose editorial pages reflect in
telligence of high order and per
ception Of public questions denoting :
clear understanding and unbiased
mind. Among these may be men
toned Vicksburg Herald, jackson
Clarion Ledger, Meridian Star, Me-
ridian Press, Natchez Democraat,
Natchez Bulletin, Hattiesburg Prog
ress, Greenwood Commonwealth, Abb
erdeen Examiner, Greenville Times,
Yazoo Herald, Laurel Chronicle, Gre
NADIA Sentinel and the Meridian State
Journal There are number o.
Others that could be included in this
list, but lack Of space prevents Us
from doing so OF those we have
named we incline to the opinion that
the paper that comes nearest to ex-
pounding the true democracy as
handed down by the founders and
that has striven hardest to guard the
substantial interests of the state Is
the Vicksburg Herald. This paper
has vigorously denounced the collec-
ton Of the back taxes against the Hi
nois Central railroad and the Gulf
and Ship Island railroad because Of
the exemption which had been granted
TO them and it has otherwise sought
to preserve the states integrity. The
Meridian papers are ably edited and
the enterprise shown by the Press III
issuing three editions to meet the
early mail Sc hedules is highly COM
mendable. The Natchez papers show
evidence of ability and are conserva-
tive III their treatment Of public ques-
tions. Neither adopted the free
silver theories of William Bryan and
both stand for the higher journalism.
The Clarion Ledger is an admirable
newspaper and its influence is felt over
the entire state. Wherever industrial
ism is mentioned in Mississippi the
Aberdeen Examiner will be remem-
bered as having contributed in no
little measure TO the material growth
Of the state. This is one Of the best
weeklies in the southern states. And
then there is the Hattiesburg Progress
with its quaint humOr and straight
forwardness. 1t is always a readable
newspaper and discusses men and
measures intelligently and without
gloss. The Greenwood Common
wealth may be said to be violent at
times in the denunciation of men and
policies which meet with its disfavor,
but it must be admitted that it is ed
tied on the whole with uncommon
force and ability. 1t disdains sham
and pretence and speaks at all times
with candor and determination. The
Commonwealth would attract atten-
ton in any state.
We repeat, Mississippi has some
whose brilliancy scope Of
information, willingness to do right
and polish and elevated tone are a
credit to American journalism; and
let it be remembered that modern civ
ilization has given birth to no institu-
ton whose power to do good can equal
an untrammeled newspaper. Gulf

DR.. Sieber has been frequently importuned to
send his wonderful serum, which is anttoxin to
blood poison to his brother physicians in various
parts Of the country. The International Serum
Toxin Co., which owns and administers this treat
ment, is always obliged, however. to refuse such
requests. For the patients protection. the treat

pecially drilled by DR.. Sieber for the administra.

offices in New York, Chicago, Washington. Boston.

Offices in other cities from time to time. In

suffering with blood poison cannot be com.

cember 9, 1902, to be an ilegal obstruction
thereof. In that case the defendant was
charged with the violation Of the police
regulation prohibiting licensed vendors from
occupying a stand upon the streets, except
upon duly designated places for longer
period than necessary to make sale. The
court, affirming the judgment of convic-
ton, said
Now, to occupy a stand in the public
street is plainly a very different thing
from stopping in the street. Any person,
driving or walking, or going over the pub
lie street. may have occasion to stop there
in, and he may lawfully do SO as long as
he does not hinder impede traffic there
on or the proper use of the street by other
persons; but to occupy stand In the street
we all know to be a very different thing,
and thing which is eminently proper to
regulate by municipal ordinance.
The occupation of a stand upon the public
street is to that extent of itself an OBJ
struction Of the street: and unless it is done
according to law 1t is in itself an offense
which may be pvnished by municipal ordi
nance. The obstruction of a free passage
Of the street, and thereby the hindrance
and delay of other vehicles, is the natural
and necessary consequence Of the occupa-
ton. of the street otherwise than in ac-
cordance with law; and such unlawful oc-
cupatiOn is in itself an obstruction and a
hindrance and an interference with traffic,
in contemplation Of law, even though there
were no other vehicle and no other person
on the street to be affected by the obstruc-
ton. The law does not require that some
one should be actually hindered and de-
layed before an obstruction on the street
can be regarded as an Offense against mu-
nicipal ordinance. On the contrary the
law in such cases is the law of precaution.
Regarded as Just Complaint.
1.-THE cabmen complain continues Mr..
Duvall. land it seems to be justly, that
the carriages from the livery stables are
allowed to stand in front of the hotels and
the aforementioned police regulation is
enforced against the cabmen. The question
under consideration is, and always has
been. difficult and embarrassing one in
municipal administration; and 1 can sug-
gest no more satisfactory solution of it
than that test case be made, in order to
obtain judicial determination of the claim
OF right asserted by the hotel proprietors."
The Commissioners have not yet acted in
the matter.
