THE WORK OF TEE CONVENTION.

After the turmoil attendant upon all political conventions has passed, and the delegates have gained their equilibrium and the work of the con- vention stands out in cold type, the Democrats of the county at large will, with a great deal of pleasure, find that the Democratic ticket nominated by the convention at Douglas on Saturday last is one of the strongest named b. the party in recent years
 The ticket is not all that each dele gate desired, but in the main the very strongest and best qualified men in the party were put forward for the ap- proval of the voters next November. The ticket nominated expresses the honest wishes of a majority of dele gates assembled. While in one or two instances these majorities were small, still 1t is fact that the con vention adjourned without leaving any sores to be healed. and every man nominated from Steve Roemer, for the Council, to H. B. Frye, for Surveyor is capable of discharging in an able manner the duties of his office.
 In one or two instances. ,a the opinion of the Review, stronger nomi- nations could have been named, which would have made the election of the entire ticket more certain. but in the main the ticket will be satisfactory to the rank and file of the party and there is To good reason why every Democrat cannot vote the ticket straight from top to bottom.
 The convention was signally free form any bitter debates or arguments, and only once was there semblance of any feeling and this was the trial of the merits o3 the Naco delegation on the floor of the convention. which was soon adjusted by large majority vote of the convention and after thai there was smooth sailing.
 With the exception of Recorder, Su peryisor, District Attorney and County School Superintendent. the nomina tions were made on one ballot. Stew art Hunt, of Bisbee, for Sheriff, re cetyed the nomination by exclamation likewise J. N. Gaines. for Treasurer The silly story that the Bisbee dele gation was trading Stewart Hunt. Il order to secure votes for any othe man on the ticket, was put at rest Douglas by the Bisbee delegation cast ing the solid fl votes for Bisbee' choice for Sheriff.
 The nomination of Riggs, @atti' man from the eastern part of IT. county, came in the nature Of SUI nrise. The nomination was made recognition of a demand for Supe visor from the eastern portion of tn county. but in the case of MT. Rlgg' the nomination was made in recoen ton of the cattle interests or tn county who have been without TepT sentation or the board for severn years Ii is said that Mir. Wm. Nei who had consented to make the ru on the Republican ticket. m tne me

 The convention made nc ser'ou mistakes. For this the delegates al 10 be congratulated For tie impo tant offices the ne ncera-s have p' forward excepticul'y strong i"e and will not only 'e:e-- in' i"'' par vote but by tho:- reoognized apiii' should command ne independent VI" Of the county.

The Cowan bill which saved to the taxpayers of this territory several thousand dollars was passed by a Democratic legislature which had a clean working majority in both houses. It took out of the pocket of a sleek Republican office holder no less than thirty thousand dollars in fees per an mum and placed it in the public treas ury where it belonged.

A MisrOuri editor announced
that for just one issue he would
tell the truth. Here are few
items from that issue: John Boin,
the LATEST merchant in town, made
trip to Bellview yesterday. John
Doyle, our groceryman, is doing a
poor business. His store is dusty,
dirty and and noxiously odorife-
rous. How can he expect to do
much? Rev. Styx preached Sun
day night on charity. The sermon
was punk. Ii the reverend gen.
tleman would live up little closer
to what ne breaches he'd have big
ger congregations. Dave Smokey
died last Sunday at his home in
this place. The doctor gave il out
as heart failure. The fact is, he
was drunk and whiskey is what
killed him. His home was rent
cd shack on Rowdy street. Mar
ried Miss Sylvia Rhodes and Jas
Canhan last Sunday evening in
the Baptist parsonage. The bride
is very ordinary town girl, who
dosn't know any more than a rab-
bit about cooking, and who never
helped her mother three days in
her life. She is not a beauty by
any means and b as gait like fat
duck. The groom is we'll known
here az an up-to-date loafer. He
has been living of the old folks
all his life and don't amount to
shucks. They will have a hard
life while they live together and
the News has no congratulations
to Offer, for we don't believe any
good can come from such q union"
The issue in which the Missouri
editor told the truth was the last
he ever made. Now the spring
time, when the dew like diamonds
sparkle in the tender grass. whore
sweet throated birds make melody
all the day. subscribers to his pa
per while it was published, drive
out in the country a short way.

State Auditor Henry has pre-
pared an interesting reoapitulation
of the statements Of tho state bank
ing institutions of Mississippi
showing their conditions at the
close of business on the 3lst of
December. as compared with the
statement at the close of the pre-
vious year.
For the year just closed the total
resources of the l67 banks report
ing was SAC, ,427, 997.62 as compar-
with resources of S34 ,O37, $40 II
for l49 banks reporting for the
previous year. The number OF
banks established during the year
was Is. and resources increased
$l2, ,390,670 ST. The capitol stock
of the l49 banks was 5.SS5. ASA
and the capital stock of the l67
banks Sc, ,99S, ,S14 p. an increase of
over one million dollars.
Individual deposits subject to
check for the year just closed were
$32 ,OS1 .042, ,S2,as compared with
neposits of $2l. ITO, 7S6 .O4 for the
previous year, an increase of near
ly eleven million dollars. While
this shows a plentitude of money
and good measure of prosperity
among the people, it is also unsat-
isfaotory for the reason that the
disposition to hoard savings in
stead Of making investments is in
creasing at an alarming rate.
The volume of loans and dis
counts for the year just closed
we're S2l, ,7OS, S,6lS.S5, as compared
with $l6,695, $50 10 for the previ-
Gus year, an increase of over Eve

Word reached the city last night
OF the death of State Senator W..
B. Walker, Of Monroe county,
which occurred near Ackerman,
while enroute to his old home at
Aberdeen in a private car. accom-
panied by his faithful wife and a
fe~ aevuted friends.
The end of the distinguished
patient came even sooner than the
physicians expected. Yesterday
morning they abandoned all hope
for his recovery and in accordance
with Senator Walkers request
that he be allowed to- die in his old
home, a private car was secured
and the sufferer tenderly borne to
the railway station. He was un-
conscious throughout the journey,
and death ended all pain about
$50 O'Clock when the train was
within a two hours ride OF the
home he so longed to reach before
death overlook him.
Senator Walker was about forty
years Of age, graduate OF the
University Of Mississippi. and for
the past ten years had been prom
inent in the political affairs Of Mis-
sissippi. No member Of the legal
profession in the state enjoyed q
higher standing at the bar. and as
district attorney of his homo dis
trict he achieved wide reputation
for ability and energetic discharge
of his duties. He had previously
served az a member of the legisla-
ture, and IA n member Of the state
senate at this session much was
expected Of him in the way of
shaping the legislation of the COM
monwealth, as he had been placed
at the head of the judiciary COM
mittse, the highest working com
mittee OF that body.
In the death of Senator Walker
the legislature has Lost one of its
most prominent and useful mem
bers, the bar of the state one of its
most distinguished practitioners,
and the state one or its most man.

Consumption

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott EmulSionisth themod-
ern method of feeding fat TO
the conSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, w ich is often the only
way, is half the battle, bat
Scott's Emulsion does more
chan that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.

WE have always said that the state
affairs were badly managed when in
the hands of the republicans. Every
body knows that they stole thousands
of dollars out of the state treasury in
the shape of interest on moneys, which
the democrats, about ten years ago,
made them pay back to the state. Now
the present republican state treasurer
has been found to be crooked, so the
Wausau Record says, and further states
that he is unable to secure an increase
in his bond from the Fidelity q Deposit
