1t is said by some of the Washington

master General Payne has suffered great
ly from the strain he has been under on
account of the scandal in his department.
He would gladly relinquish office, but
finds himself so clrcumstanced that he
cannot do so without laying himself opon
to the suspicion that he is retreatlng un-
der fire.
IT Is stated that the President Is not
pleased with the free giving out of scan
dial news at the department and the con-
sequence is that Mr.. Payne has taken a
new tack. Now no one In the department
but himself Is authorized to give out
news, upon penalty of dismissal from

The Hartford Courant enters its pro-
test against Connecticut being called 1.-THE
Nutmeg state.'' It characterizes It AS
a false and slanderous appellauon, and
declares that the people Of that State
never did make wooden nutmegs and
that II they had made them the southern
people would never have been fools
enough to buy them.
The Courant thinks 1t particularly hard
that 80 many citizens of Connecticut
should participate In keeping up this

THE MISSISSIPPI PRlMAR Y

AS heretofore stated In this paper, the
next Senator from Mississippi is to be
nominated by State Democratic primary
election, the voters to vote directly FOR
the candidates offering. Tho rivals for
this honor are Senator Money and GOV
ernor Longno.
Mississippi has a. State primary election
law which provides that each political
party shall defray all the expenses incl
dent to its primary elections, and no such
cost shall be a charge either upon the
state or county or city treasury.
The cost Of printing ballots and trans
hitting them to the polling places, and
providing ballot boxes and erecting booths
must be fairly apportioned by the county
executive committees among all the can
didates voted for in such primaries.
State, county and district candidates bear
ing their pro rata share
These expenses are the only ones charge-
ablo against candidates. No candidate
for n State or district office can be
assessed more than is assessed upon the
candidates for county offices.
By another section of tho act OF assem-
bly, 1t Is provided that the nominations
for United States Senator shall be made
under the same regulations governing the
nomination Of State officers.
The county committees have no uniform
scale Of assessment The assessments
vary from year to year, but we are In
formed that this year they range from
twenty-five cents per capita Of candidates
TO IS. 1t seems that in Mississippi all the
elections are thrown together, hence the
number Of candidates is very large and
consequently the assessments necessary
to be made upon each In comparatively
small.

Absalom. not to we'll. but unwisely.
He was blind to his faults: he forgave
when he should have punished; he al
lowed unrestrained liberty when he
should ave given firm direction; he
put his affection for his hayward boy
above his duty to the state. In this he
was at fault. Yet his persisting father
love is the best Old Testament illus
tration of the way God loves his way
ward children in spite of their way
wardness.
TWO PROUD PRINCES.
This dashing. selfish. handsome
Prince AbsalOm was Il strange mixture
OF qualities. He was II fop. Il disseln-
bier. Il traitor and an migrate. The
vices hat idlness breeds were all there
to be found in him. His filial love and
duty seem to ave been absent guam
titles. Under the very eyes of the king
he stole the hearts of Israel. fomented
and led a rebellion and drove his aged
father into exile. But his plot eventu-
ally failed, and he died as the fool
dieth. Still the kings heart broke over
this fool. as many another mob heart
since a been broken by a worthless
character.
Absalom had a younger brother,
AdOnijah, who in time tried the for
mer's tactics to secure the kingdom
for himself. His rebellion was like
wise a formidable one, but David
thwarted 1t by crowning young Solo
mon king. He defeated the bad by
emphasizing the good.
THE WiSEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
Here enters Solomon. the best of the
kings SONS. and the one appointed to
carry on the royal succession and to
build the temple. Solomon entered
upon his reign in a commendable spir-
tt nxrarovf fono1rh1a sNntvintt, Tyn
coveted earnestly the best gifts, and
when given his choice by God he chose
an understanding heart. The unset
fishness OF his choice of wisdom so
pleased Jehovah that he granted Solo
mon all that he wished, and added
thereto the other gifts which he might
have sought, but did not. Seek We
first the kingdom of God and his right
eousness and all these things shall be
added unto you"
To Solomon fell the privilege OF full
filling his fathers cherished design of
the building of a great temple to Je-
In all the world there was no
such triumph of architecture as this.
and 1t might well be called the crown
ing achievement of Davids family
with two exceptions.
David did a greater work than de-
and prepare for the temple. The
songs that he wrote out of his e.
are a better heritage to the race than
the temple beautiful. The latter was
in ruins centuries ago, but the psalms
of David were nev more alive than,
they are today in human hearts.
Greater even than as author of these
songs was David's place as ancestor
Jesus. This is the pre-eminent glory
that attaches to his name. He was
one of the agencies through which God
gent into the world his only begotten
son. After all, the best that most men
is to serve as links in the chain of
Gods providences.
