RUSSELL IN The CABINET.

The press of the South has al
ready begun to speculate upon
the personnel of the cabinet in
the event ofParker selection and
various national characters the
country over are being discussed
In connection with these respon.
sible positions. 1t is a trifie ear
ly to prognosticate, but in the
event that the Sage of Esopus
succeeds Teethy the Terrible, the
South will receive recognition
and the suggestion that Hon. E..
L. Russell would make an admir-
able member of the cabinet has
been received with genuine favor
every where
Mr.. Russell is typical of the
old and the new South-t the old
South which he fought for and
the new South to which he has
given the best years Of his life.
While loyal to his section, its
people, its history, he is broad
enough to serve his country in
any position he might be called
and his appointment as a mem
Der of a Democratic presidents
official family would be an act of
graciousness on Parker's part
of which the whole South would
justly be proud.
Mr.. Russell is cabinet tim Der.
A fine man, of ripe judgemen t, a
profound lawyer. accustomed to
graphing with weighty problems
and affairs, this experience
would admira bly, equip him for
so responsible work while his
counsel and advice in the solution
of southern problems would be
of incalculable value to the whole
country. The thought of his Sc
lection is one so pleasing and
gratifying to his large circle of
friends in North east Mississippi
that it is pleasure for THE DIS
PATCH to make mention of it and
to indorse it with all emphasis at
our command.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

The apathy ana Indifference Of
which Democrats com plain in the
present national contest certain
ly exists to a marked degree in
this county and city. Although
appeals for contributions TO a
campaign fund have been made
to our people by the State and
County Chairmen of the DemOc-
racy; although the necessity of
funds has been emphasized edi-
torially and through muni-
cations. up to Wednesday the
Lowndes county campaign fund
amounted TO the magnificent and
munificent sum of eleven dollars
five of which was contributed by
this paper.
Starkville' club, we are inform
ed, has contributed a hundred
dollars; the little town of Deer
brook has made up purse of
nearly this amount; In other
places the rank and file are re-
spending to the call but in Lown-
des the contributors are wanting.
Can Columbus and Lowndes
county afford to go before the
cOun' cy with such a record? Are
party obligations to be ignored
by loyal democrats here? Do not
the issues Of the present contest
appeal more directly to the white
people of the South than any
election since the period of re
construction
Where are the countless office
holders who have been favored by
the party at the present and in
the past? Where are the hundreds
who have enjoyed it's favors and
reaped it's rewards? Where are
the white men who through it
have had white supremacy and
democratic government? Do not
the needs of the hour appeal to
them?
Mississippi can do little save
to furnish some of the money
needed to fight the battles of
democracy in the doubtful States
and this we should do willingly
and we'll. Chairman Sherman
in his Introductory remarks
Wednesday night made a
strong appeal for m n e y
aud MIR. Gambler in his admira-
BILE review of national issues and
conditions laid special stress up
on the needs of the hour money.
It ought to be forthcoming and
we hope and trust it will.

PULITZER's MISTAKE.
He Does Not Understand the Attitude
OF Parker.

Joseph Pulitzer did not attend the
gathering of Democratic editors which
met and communed recently with the
Democratic candidate for the presidency,
but he wrote letter. of which this was
the concluding paragraph:
1t is because i so strongly desire Judge
Parker's election that | speak plainly on
this subject. l earnestly beg of you when
you see him tomorrow at Esopus to urge
that he accept also the full responsibility Of
his position: that he will not permit the
campaign In New York--the pivotal State
to be mismauaged by the small politicians
who beset him.
"Beset. 'Beset." indeed! Little is
Alton b. Parker ''beset' by the small
politicians 10 whom Pulitzer alludes,
those who have, for years, been the vas
sails of David Bennett Hill or among
the operators for Tammany. Alton b.
Parker has been one of them himself.
Foxy political manager for Hill. who
repaid him by an appointment, and who.
in the present year. has repaid him fur
Their, he is not likely TO oe ''beset" by his
own associates. Mr.. Pulitzer must be
wandering in his mind. Ii is upon those
from whom he wishes Mr.. Parker TO dis
sociate himself that Mr.. Parker depends
for whatever vote he may get in New
York-Tammanyites and the Hill bench

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
1t Expands Under Republican and Col
lapses Under Democratic Policies.

lapses Under Democratic Policies.
One Of the great arguments Of the
free traders has been that with free
trade We would have access to the mar
kets Of the world" WE'LL the only time
the free traders have had control of
the government in recent years was in
the second Cleveland administration
They did not put actual free trade into
operation, but they came close enough
to 1t to put most of the factories of
this country out of operation. We did
not get the markets of the world. They
may have been open to us, but our man
ufacturers were going out of business so
fast, under the ruinous tariff schedules
the Democrats had put into effect, that
they could not seek the markets of the
world. Their own home market, the best
one TO them, was invaded by cheap for
eign goods, however.
Then the protective tariff system was
reinstated by the people of this country,
and Immediately the factories began to
turn their wheels again. Within ten
years we have demonstrated that the
way to get the markets of the world
is to protect our own market against
invasion, build up our industries, and
then branch out for foreign trade
We have not had anything like free
trade within those ten years, and yet we
are selling millions of dollars worth of
goods every year in the markets of the
world"
In Congress, last winter, Congressman
Hill, of Connecticut. told of a recent
visit he had made abroad. He said:
Il stood on the deck of n Japanese liner
in the harbor Of Vladivostok, Russian
Siberia. In the hold Of that ship was
over 700 tons of American agricultural
implements that had come across the
Pacific ocean from America for the use
of the peasants of Siberia. and shipped
there under the Dingley tariff bill. That
night at the hotel ] met the represent
alive of a locomotive works in Phila-
delphia who told me he had just put i'll
$50 locomotives, for use in the Siberian
railway, shipped there under the Ding
ley tariff law.
Next day | rode 500 miles up the
banks of the Amur river over American
steel rails shipped there under he
Dingley tariff law Then | got aboard
steamer to go up the Amur 1.500 miles.
