On the Dedication of Sherman's Statue.
Salute, with roll Of drum and trumpet blare,
Salute! with standard and artillery
Salute! with loud acclaim and throbbine heart
The hOuored name to every comrade dear,
William Teculnseh sherman, patriot.
Tn times ten thousand hailed thee once as chief
Ana at thy word dared things impossible
Today, remnant OF that mighty host
Here dedicate, in token Of their love,
Thy name and honor 10 perpetuate
This monument of stone.
Oh, may IT stand for many, many years, not to
preserve
One recollection tlnged with bitterness
From which thy generous heart was wholly free;
But as reminder to postcrity
OF thine intrepid daUntless herosm,
Thine ardent, pure answering loyalty,
1nihe almost matchless military skill,
Thy sweet benevolence IN time OF peate
Which made thy fallen foe q fervent friend
Growing thy life with charity's fair wreath
More satisfying and perdurable
Than victor's bays or conqueror's waving palms.
And may we not believe. In faith assured
That when this stone shall crumble into dust,
And every token OF this day be lost
AS In our human way we think and speak
Nevertheless, in the great sum of things,
The noble life commemorate,
And our apprecia tion of Its worth.
Shall form portion indestructible2
lgain, salute! long live thy memory!
We leave this testimonial to the world
OF thee. our gallant. trusted general,
With whom right soon, we'H muster for dis
charge
And fnai settlements In yon green fields,
Where peace forever reigns. Parade's dismissed.

Eshed by our fathers The record of it's
marches, its battles and its glorious tri-
umphs will ever adorn the brightest pages
OF our country's history If the lesson of
its bravery, its loyalty and its patriotic
devotion TO the flag of country shall be
hearts of the generations which shall come
after us and be followed by them, then
this proud republic, this mighty nation will
endure to the end of time. And | know
this is the earnest wish and desire of all
assembled here today, and of every sur
vivor of all the great armies which fought
to maintain the Union, and for the honor
and glory of the country.
In thus referring as l have done to the
Grand Army of the West and it's illustri-
Gus service, l do not wish it to be under
stood that l have either forgotten or un-
derestimated the glorious service of that
other grand army in the war for The
Union, the Army of the Potomac. That
magnificent army, under the command of
Mcclellan, of Burnside, of Hooker, Of
Meade, and finally of Grant, the greatest OF
all our great commanders, was by its posi-
ton the defender at all times of the ma
ticnal capital, the loss Of which at any
time might have been the loss of the cause
to1 which we fought. But the Army of
battles of the war and won many Of the
most glorious victories, eliminating in the
occupation of Richmond, the confederate
capital; the surrender of Lees army at
Appomattox, and the glorious termination
of the war for the Union-the greatest war
ever waged by mankind for freedom and
tree government.
All honor and all glory to the Grand

spectators had an opportunity to properly
appreciate the extent and meaning of the
emblems and symbols displayed. at no
time was there any hitch In the arrange
nents for the exercises and the program
as announced previously was carried out
to the letter. The parade moved on time,
something unusual even here, where
parades are formed SO often, and passed
in review before the President and his dis
tirguished guests. The route of the pro-
cession around the reviewing stand and
through the court in front of the statue
was not the best adapted for marching. a

A Rebel Souvenir.

The New Orleans papers speak
in the most complimentary terms
of Confederate souvenir spoon
designed and placed on sale in
that city by Miss Lucille Banks,
daughter of Capt. r. w. Banks,
and for several years a resident Of
this city. The souvenir is one
that will appeal directly to every
old veteran that attends the re-
union, especially those of Missis-
sippi, being in the shape of tea
spoon, the handle Of which is a
musket of the old powder and ball
pattern. On the stock is engrav-
ed a Confederate flag, furled, and
down the barrel is United Con-
federate Veterans. . The bowl of
the spoon is occupied by a photo
graphic view of Jefferson Davis
home, Beauvoir, and engraved
around it is Confederate Home,

HON. A. II. LONGING.

1t is highly gratifying to the
many friends of Gov. A. H. Lon
gino in Simpson county, who have
known and esteemed him from
childhood, to note the announce
ment of his candidacy for the
United States Senate to succeed
Hon. H. d. Money. More than
eight and twenty years ago, in the
pride of a glorious young man
hood, fresh from his graduation at
Clinton, with high and ardent
hopes for the future, he made his
maiden effort as public speaker
to Simpson county audience at
one of the old Grange picnics at
Mt. Zion, and at that early date
he impressed upon his hearers the
prophesy of the coming man, and
from that good day until this, this
gifted son of Lawrence has had
his legion of friends in old Simp-
son who have watched his remark
able career with pride and exulta-
ton. To paint his high and exalt-
ed character, his many and varied
qualifications to fulfill the require
ments and responsibilities Of the
greatest Office in the gift of the
people of Mississippi, or to at
tempt to paint the nobility of his
great heart, or the virtues of his
stainless private life would be an
entire waste of time. Suffice it
to say that Hon. A. H. LONGING
has made a model Governor, and
advanced Mississippi in the good
opinion of mankind, and inspired
her people with broader and
loftier conception of-the suprem-
acy of law and the maintenance of
order, and should he be elected
Senator, we stand sponsor for the
proposition that he will make an
able and useful member. -Simp-
son County News.

In an article in The Newton

tion," is this extract: ''It is
stated on good authority that Gov.
Longino, Senator McLaurin and
Mr.. Fox had a long conference in
Jackson recently, and as soon
thereafter as Fox returned to
Washington, he announced his
candidacy for the office of Govern
or. We showed it to Senator
McLaurin and he said he had not
seen Mr.. Fox in Jackson in many
years, certainly not in the last
four years; that he had never in
his lifetime been in company
with Mr.. Fox and Gov. Longino
together in Jackson. Senator Nc

VICE IN CITIES.

After commencing the move
lately inaugurated in New Orleans
by Protestant clergymen and lay
men for the enforcement of law
and the putting down of vice, the
Picayune says:
The fact remains that municipal
corruption has never received any
severe shock from pulpit denunci-
atoms, although this has done
good. Rev. Parkhurst and
Bishop Potter have taken a large
part in seeking to reform the gov
eminent of the city of New York,
but District Attorney jerome has
done more than all the rest. He
fights municipal criminals, and
has the law on them. He has
stirred up the offenders to such a
degree that one of the judges of
the supreme court of the State of
New York has attacked Mr.. Je-
rome in the public prints for his
radical onslaught upon political
criminals.
1t is remarkable fact that mu-
nicipal corruption has more to
fear from a fearless and determin-
ed district attorney than from any
other source. 1t was District At
torney Folke who prosecuted and
bought to punishment the corrupt
city officials of Minneapolis, while
District Attorney Jerome is max
ing vigorous war on the intrench-
ed CRIME of the American metrop-
oils. New Orleans is not without
an experience of that sort, and it
all goes to show the enormous
capabilities of that official when
he happens to possess the special
for such duty.
There are but few of them, and
that is the reason municipal crime
fourishes in every large city in
the union.
Nevertheless, there is no desire
to deprecate the honest efforts of
citizens, whether in the pulpit or
out of it, to secure some remedy
against municipal corruption.
Agitation is worth something, and
it is to be encouraged. P"

THE PASSING OF THE SALOON.

The following card appeared in
The Nashville Daily News re-
Gently:
That the liquor trade has en-
joyed for many years an unex-
ampled prosperity is apparent to
every careful observer, but there
are few, if any, who would predict
for the future anything like
glorious progress. Unless we see
with blurred vision, there are
troublous times ahead for the
trade. The prohibition cranks
have, with the tenacity of bull
dogs, held their forces together
and made gains for the past ten
years that bode i'll to our trade as
surely as the sun rises and sets.
These enemies are in our camp
and they never sleep. They are
laying the foundation for their
plans broad and deep. Let them
increase, in like ratio, their num-
bers a few years to come as they
have done in the last decade, and
our business will be swept from
existence. Every distillery, every
brewery, and every saloon will
be closed as tight as a sealed coffin
and will be as dead as corpse.
The wave of prohibition that is
sweeping over this country, from
one end to the other, threatens to
engulf and carry to destruction the
entire liquor business. 1t is
growing stronger and more power
full each day, for each day cities,
towns and counties are added to
that class in which the liquor bust
ness cannot be carried on legiti-
mately, and unless the prohibition
lists are speedily thwarted, we may
as well hang our harps on the will
low tree, for our vocations will be
gone forever.
1t is strange what horrible
death the liquor traffic is dying
when prohibition don't pro-
hibit, "you know. The whisky or
gans can't believe their own lie,
much less make others believe it.

Vardaman, the only candidate who
condemned them, had voted for
these same laws in 1892, and never
made any objection to them until
his Legislative career had ended.
Senator Noel closed by remark
ing that the fact that he spoke

ponents to agree to a series of
joint speeches from the beginning
of the canvass, but had been un-
successful.

Ohio Lynch Law.

Click Mitchell, a negro, was
lynched in the court house yard
at Urbana, Ohio, in 1897. In
1896 the Ohio legislature had pass
ed an anti-lynching bill, drawn by
Albion W. Tourgee, which made
the county in which the lynching
occurred liable in sums up to
$1,000 ''for mistreatment at the
hands of mob resulting in the
permanent injury or death of any
person"
The administrator of Mitchelrs
estate brought suit in 1897 to re
cover $4,000 damages from Cham
paign county. Judgment was
given in his favor. This was
affirmed by the district court and
later by the State Supreme Court.
In the face of this decision the
authorities of Champaign county
a few days ago paid Mitchell's
heirs $4,000, the amount of the
original judgment.
The theory of the Ohio mob law
is that the county in which a mob
is organized to hang man under
suspicion must maintain the law
and dispense the mob or take the
consequences. In other words,
the people encouraging a mob, or
permitting unlawful acts by a
mob, through increased taxation,
must pay for consequences of mob
violence.
Knowing they are to be held re-
sponsible for the acts of the mob,
the people of any given county are
interested in restraining a mob.
The effect of the law, even while
it has been before the coults has
been to prevent lynchings in
Ohio. Now that the law has been
tested before the courts and has
been sustained in every case, SIM
ila1 acts undoubtedly will be plac-
ed on the statute books of other
States. Chicago er-Ocean.
