his Endorsements l feel very kindly
toward Jim Butler because of the long
friendship that has existed between
me and his father. Colonel Ed. Butler
has voluntarily given me valuable
support In the two races | have made
before the people, and ia to-day one OF
my best friends. Away back in the
'70's he supported my fathers can
didacy for the gubernatorial nomina-
tion. So you see, it was a hard trial
for me to ignore the Buffers"
1t Is such things as these that IN AXE
q fellows head swim and cause him
to cry out in pain and anguish, '1s it
true, then, that, as the prophet of old
exclaimed, 'All men are liars'P" II
Col. Ed. Butler tried to lead him into
the den OF iniquity in December, 1896,
how could Gov. Stephens say all those
pretty things about the Buffers in
January, 1892 Perhaps he may call
it political diplomacy, and it may be
that, for know of no other thing that
can assume 20 sweet mien Of virtue
and dabble more deeply in the mire of
deception and regeneration. The St.
Louis Folk papers lie SO much and so
continuously about what ought to be
the secrets OF the grand jury room,
that all this that is said as to Gov.
Stephens alleged testimony may be
false, too. l hope it is false, for I
have no use for the Virtue that bottles
herself up until Vice lies writhing and
helpless; that wreathes her face In
smiles and fills her mouth with
honeyed words for the offender in
health and power, and jumps on him
only when he lies prone in the dust,
weak and helpless.

THOUGH our Washington CORE.
spondence is crowded out this week, /
will not let the following paragraph
go that way. Talk about "the soul
damning traffic in strong drink"
whiskey isn'ta marker to opium in its
evil effects, apd yet no doubt many a
good Republican Christian may be
found to condone the crime in the in
terest OF "education"-to overlook the
means because OF the pretended end:
democrats and Republicans alike
have always denounced the English
policy OF the opium monopoly in India
and the opening of the Chinese Empire
to the opium trade, but our present
administration appears to now ap-
prove it, for even a worse opium sys-
tenn is to be forced on the Philippines.
The exclusive right to run opium
joints In those islands Is to be sold at
auction, law for that purpose having
been prepared, and is now before the
Philippine Commission. This bill is
coated 30 that the American people
will be able to swallow it. In order
to prepare the American public for the
proposal, the War Department lately
has been giving out vague information
to the correspondents about new opium
laws designed TO "restrict the use of
opium" and that the money derived
thersfrom was to be used for educat-
ing young Filipinos in American
schools, as prospective teachers for
the islands. A strong protest has
been made to President Roosevelt to
stop the iniquitous traffic, or at least
not make this government party to
1t by participating in the proceeds.
The nefarious plan seems to be pet
measure OF the Secretary OF War, and
1t is feared that thee influence he ex-
erts over the President will more than
Offset the protests that have been
made" ss4s4,

In the early days of the Republic
the salary of Congressman was
$1,000 q year. Now that sum barely
suffices the private secretary, while
the man he serves gets $4,000 and
mileage. This is only typical Of ali
the public service. Extravaganza
grows with riches, as we'll with nations
as individuals, and with the former it
is sure in the end to breed corruption.
No people ever recorded their decline
and fall in the days OF their poverty

THE Arkansas statute making un-

it would be knocked out as soon as
tested, but it costs money to litigate
and somebody had to pay to maintain
right that ought never have been

A Good Suggestion

There have been many ways sug-
gested as to the best way to make use
of the old capitol building which now
seems a drug on the states hands an
about the best one we have seen is
the following, from correspondent
signing himself Physician" in the
Daily News Of Jackson
II notice there have appeared IN
your paper recently several artlc' es
containing opinions as to what is best
TO do with the old capitol building
now that it has been vacated by the
state, and want to support the views
of the writer who suggests that 1t be
remodeled and converted into state
charity hospital. The site is admir-
able for such an institution " ich
Mississippi in this day OF progress
stands very much in need of. L would
not say one word or detract from, Tor
a great amount OF good is accom-
plished by the state hospita at NIcks-
burg and Natchez. But studying this
matter as | have since my presence at
the very large clinics of one Of the
hospitals in New Orleans for The
greater part of 1892, my eyes have
been opened.
Il found there ;, 005 patients from
Mississippi. all charity. These with
the great number of charity patients
in other like institutions il that city,
aggregated in round pumber- for that
year, 5000 from Mississippi, who
went to New Orleans simply because
the facilities furnished by our own
state are inadequate for this great
number and yet we do not con-
tribu e one cent to these great insti-
tutors of that great city.
This is great state, populated by
a great people. with wonderful re-
sources; therefore we should no long
er ignore her great need of a charity
hospital, sufficiently large and well
equipped, so as TO care for her pqnner
sick, as we do her iH-aEe, heI Id,
her deaf and dumb. and no longer
dump them on sister state CT city.
"Therefore / say with these facts
before me, that Mississip! needs
badly an institution large enough and
properly located to care for all who
live or may come within her borders,
and who have been unfortunate
enough to fall! upon the charity OF
the state. So let the old capitol be
remodeled and converted into such al
institution.

THE DANDELiON.
No More Successful Plant and None
More Wonderful.

Perhaps none of our plants is more
common or more familiar than the
dandeIion. and certainly none is more
wonderful First of all it is not a ma
tive but vas introduced from Europe,
whence have come many of our worst
weeds, fitted by centuries of struggle IN
cultivated fields to overcome the ma
tive plants Of a continent where Guilt
walton had previously been practically
unknown and where natives bad had
no opportunity of adapting themselves
to the conditions of civilized agricul-
ture.
One of the dandelion's strongest
points is the ability to obtain nourish-
ment under strong competition and IN
unfavorable situations. a deep, strong,
perennial taproot draws all available
nourishment and moisture from sur
face and subsoil, stores nourishment
during the winter and enables the
plant to start far and away ahead OF
most of its competitors. This same tap
root is exceedingly bitter, which very
likely protects it from destruction by
do not remember having seen root
that had been disturbed by animals of
any kind.
But only small portion of it's food
comes from the soil. Air and sunshine
are Just as necessary, for the air is
food and the sunshine Is digestion for
our vegetable neighbors. Note the
shape of the leaves. Narrow at the
base and widening at the outer end,
they form a dense rosette that not only
gets for the dandelion all the air and
sunshine coming its way, but smothers
all but the most sturdy competitors.
Here lies the secret of the dandeliOns
presence in lawns and walks and open
waste places. In lawns the grass Is
kept low so that it cannot overtop and
shade the dandelion, while its own
leaves lie so low and close that they
are little hurt by the mower and can
smother the grass underneath. - Har-
per's Magazine.
