It is announced that if the demo
cratic party dominates some one for
president of the Cleveland type the
populite party will nominate man
of its own as it cannot support one of
the Cleveland type. Now here is
chance for Bryan. Let him seek the
nomination at the hands of the pop
ulite party. A recent dispatch sent
out from Washington contains the fol-
lowing interesting political news on
this subject:
The reports recently published to
the effect that western populists were
strongly inclined toward President
Roosevelt and would give him their
support if made the republican candi-
date next year, has caused ex-senator
Butler of North Carolina some annoy
anee. Mr.. Butler was the national
chairman of the populist praty three
yeras ago, and wants the party to
preserve it's distinctive organization.
He proclaimed today, when asked
about the report referred to, that it
was without foundation.
sit is very plain" said he, that
the democrats intend to nominate a
candidate of Mr.. Cleveland way OF
thinking, whom the populists will be
unable to support. Consequently the
populists will be compelled to go il
alone, and they will do that. A separ
ate convention will be held by the
populists, and they will nominate 6

CRIME ON THE INoREsAE.

Some of the newspapers which have
been inclined to boast about the peace
full and quiet condition of the state
and the high respect the people have
been showing the law the past few
months will have to change their tune
if things in that line do not materi-
ally mend within the next few weeks.
The man who does not read the pa
pers of the state has but little idea the
number of murders that are being COM
mitted just at this time. There
have been a dozen within the past
dozen days and very likely many away
out in the interior that have not been
made known.
Perhaps Mississippi is no worse
than other states, but it is more
noticeable when a murder is COM
mitted in this than were it to occur in
4
some other state. Our laws on this
subject have been more rigidly en-
forced than ever before and within the
past two years there have been more
legal hangings than was ever known
before during the same period, but
still murders and homicides are com
mitted nearly every day and the court
dockets are being crowded with sucl
cases. OF course all the cases are not
murder cases, but many of them are
and they are growing more numerous
every year, at least they have grown
very numerous the past year. There
have been twenty or thirty leagal
hangings in this state the present
year and several others are in jail
awaiting the time to be executed. A
maina seems to have broken out
among the people to take human life
and to checkmate this the law mus
not only be more rigidly executed, bu
more promptly. The courts must draw
tighter rein.

Bob TayiOr'S New Lecture.

The following is the outline of
Bob Taylor's new lecture, which
he proposes to write during the
summer months. Old Bob is a
daisy and his new lecture will
doubtless be a model for a castle
built in the air. Long may he
build them.
"CASTLES IN THE AIR..
Il propose to spend the summer
IN constructing this lecture, in
framing 1t, painting it and in
dressing the lumber inside and
out. ] shall take for my subject
the toddllng baby boy and I will
follow him from the cradle to the
grave. | see him now as a two
year old imp. building his mud
houses. Every rock, and gravel
IN that mud house is TO his pro-
life mind IA ruby, an emerald or a
diamond.
"By and by he gets more mate
rial IN his nature and the mud
house castles topple and fall. He
IS now sprouting a mustache and
he is constantly building castles
for her-her, not a mere thing of
flesh and blood, but a seraph. He
yearns to draw hat heaving bosom
to his, to look deep into those
bashful eyes, to taste the cherries
rare, red lips, and when he does
so the acme of bliss, the supreme
moment of happiness that ever is
known to moral man is reached.
4" When the rainbow changes to
a clothes line and the stars give
place to the wash tub, his castle
may topple and fall again. but =
he can build another. When he
has toddlers all around him, he
sits out in the cool, refreshing air
Of eventide and builds castles
again. This son is going to be a
great man, that daughter is going
to be a ueauti full woman and so he
goes oa building castle after cas-
tie, u..I. e is hidden to the Great
Castle beYond the sky"

Indifferent, but no one will pro-
pose to go into the pulpit and
take his place. The lawyer may
make a good, bad or Indifferent
argument in the presentation of
the Isl of his client, and he may
fail, but no II will say that he
knows more about the law in a
minute than the lawyer is capable
Of learning in a lifetime. The
physician can give his patient this
or hat medicine and he may live
or die. but no one is willing to
swear that he knows more about
medicine and the human system
thaa-the physician. But the editor
who has been in the business for
perhaps a quarter of a century
can find plenty of men who are
willing to swear that they can
edit two. papers to his one and
give entire satisfaction to every
reader-those who pay for the pa.
per and those who borrow it.

Georgia Militia Men Not Entirely
Satisfied.

Washington, May 14.-Maj.
William w. Williamson, of Savan-
nah, connected with the national
guard Of Georgia, had a conference
with Secretary Root today regard
ing the Dick military law and as
to whether the militia OF one state
might be called into service in
another state and made to do duty
IN suppressing instructions and
strikes. Some at least of the
Southern militia men we're oppos-
ed to be considered being in the
United service for such purposes.
Secretary Root informed Mai.
Williamson that the Dick law
did not change the status of the
militia men in respect to any SER
vice they might be called on to
perform. The duties and control
of the militia men. he said, were
defined by the constitution and re-
manned as they had for more than
one hundred years. AS to the
suppression of insurrectlons and
disturbances by the United States
government i'll which the army of
the United States would be neces-
sary, of curse the regular army
would be employed. The secre-
tary did not care to surmlse be-
You'd that point or discuss what
might happen in the event the
regular army was not sufficient to
meet any emergency which might
arise.
