/ Never was an impeachment made by

political pelf, more thoroughly and alb
solutely disproven by clean, clear-cut
action, effectively and unselfshly put
forth in the cause for which he has ever
been an earnest worker, than the charge

against Congressman Bowers in the
campaign OF a few months ago when he
defeated Judge Deavours for Congress
man from the Sixth district.
His constituency, his admirers at home
and the newspapers Of Mississippi and
the Sixth district have not been the first
to recognize this splendid work. Re
publican and Democratic papers alike
of far-reaching influence have COM
mented extensively on his work for the
election Of Judge Parker, and the bril-
liancy of his campaign arguments and
representations Of the true conditions in
the South with which he pleaded for the
defeat of Roosevelt, the former attempt
ing to deprecate this work, and the lat
ter unstintcdly applauding 1t.
Democrats over the entire State of
Mississippi have reason to be proud that
this man, who only snort time ago en-
tered the political arena in fighting the
battles of democracy as representative
OF the Fifth district, but who has already
made his influence felt more powerfully
than many who haye publicly seryed
the people for decades, has been given
d permanent place in the government
Of our country.

KURoKI's WONDERFUL Ex-
PLOTS.

When the war in the Orient broke out
very little was known about the people
and the resources Of Japan. Whether
the Japanese soldier would measure up
with the European was unsolved prob
lem, and the quality OF the Japanese
Generals could only be guessed at. But
Japan has produced soms generals Of
the first class. Kuroti, Nodzu, oku and
Oyama have shown themselves in every
way superior TO the billiards sent out by
Russia against them.
But Of all the notable Japanese Gen.
erals Kuroki has unquestionably had
tho most remarkable career. He won
the earlier battles Of the war, single-
handed and alone; but the subsequent
events in his career constitute the re-
marksble part OF 1t. >.
In June Kuroki was captured by the
Russian correspondents at the seats OF
war.
In July he was reported to be dying of
malarial fever in the Japenese camp.
In September he was killed in battle
On October 4 he was killed again by a
splinter from shell. and the secret was
carefully kept from everybody except y
Russian correspondent.
On October IL Gen. Kuroki reported
the operations Of his army TO Toxic.
On October IL Kuroki reported that he
had buried $500 Russians on the bat-
tlefield.
On October Is Kuroki was captured
by the press Of st. Petersburg.
According TO the latest accounts, the
Russian scouts have been unable to Io-
cate Kuroki at all. 1t Is possible that he
may yet telegraph to his admirers
throughout the world in the language OF
Mark Twain, "The reports OF my death
are greatly exaggerated. &C Commercial

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad
10 contemplating a number of change.
In Its Coast Line service during the
coming season, These changes win re-
suit in better service on ali the coaa,
trains. Better trains are to be furnish
cd and faster time will be made by ali Of
time. The New Orleans Picayune has
u nom = Louisville & Nashville Official
that the recent improvements which
have been mode in the roadbed of the
Louisville & Nashville between that CITY
and Mobile are for the purpose Of ena-
bling the management'to use heavier and
better equipment on this section OF the
road. During the past six months the
Louisville 4 Nashville has had large
forces Of men constantly at work on this
division, and the roadbed is now in con-
dition for use by the heaviest equipment
which the road owns.
All the bridges between New Orleans
and Mobile have been practically re-
built at heavy cost. An official said
that as soon as the improvements we're
completed, the management OF the road
intended to send here number Of the
heavy locomotives which we're now in
use on the northern end Of the road,
but which It has been impossible TO use
on the coast trains on account of the
condition OF the roadbed. When this 1.
done much faster train service viii re-
suit.
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad
is planning an innovation In their COM
muter service on the coast trains, which
win be welcomed by all those who live
out OF town, but whose business brings
them into the city every day.
Hereafter 1t is the intention Of the
road not only 70 sell commuters ticket
for the season TO each passenger, but,
when he gets on the train, he will find
his seat reserved for him.
Hereafter each commuters ticket win
bear certain number, which will cor
respond with certain seat in the chair
car on q certain train every day. The
commutsr isscxpected TO notify the
Kiilfoad Company just what trains he
expects 10 uae. 10 win be assigned u
y seat, ana Throughout DE season this
seat win be reserved for him on that
train.
To do this, the Railroad Company is
having placards printed, which will be
placed on all the seats which have been
sold, and conductors are to be instructed
to sec that the seat is kept for the per-
son who holds the check for it until that
person gets on the train. The result of
the experiment will be watched with in
terest, and is expected by the Railroad
Company to result in some trouble until
the people learn that when seat is
placarded as sold, they are to stay out
of 1t.
Tho plan is being adopted at the re-
quest Of large number Of comm uters
who objected to standing, while all the
seats in the train we're taken by excur-
sionists who seldom used the road.

President Roosevelt declares that he
VIII not be candidate for the office
again. This is wise and doubtless sim
cere. But is not the spirit Of this pledge
violated when he affirms that Mr.. Root
is his candidate for his successor and
that ne will appoint nobody to his Cabi-
net except the champions Of Mr.. Root ?
II 1t Is not safe and wise for a president
TO accept third term, because he would
be tempted to use the machinery OF his
office TO secure such denomination, is it
any safer or more patriotic TO use his
ONCE to secure the success OF friend ?
To prostitute the highest office in the
gift OF the American people to effect the
election Of a particular individual is
about as dangerous thing as a presi-
dent can undertake.
