DEAR SIR:-The Daily Mining
Record, of Denver. Colo, in its
issue of Dec. Sd, 1904, includes in
its "insipid" list, the Goldfeld
Mining company, of Nevada, "(2)
defunct." This seems a puzzle to
us. All the reports that We have
come across have been very favor
able as to said company. Can YOU
give us some enlightenment? The
writer has recently ordered 100
shares of the Goldfeld Mining
company's stock, and another pr~ty
in our bank has a small amount
We are therefore interested in thd
matter. Thanking you in advanced

Before commenting upon the
above letter a little explanation.
will serve TO make the matter.
clearer to those who are not fully
posted. The Daily Mining Record,
for the benefit of its subscribers,
has an information department."
and upon request will endeavor to
ascertain the physical and tinan-
cial condition of any mining com
pany, the object being to give the
subscribers a better opportunity of
Judging of the merits of its stock
as an investment. From personal
knowledge of the Record and its
owners we believe they are thor
oughlv honest in doing this and do
not use it as IA means of blackmail-
ing, a. do many alleged mining
papers including some not a thou
sand miles from Goldticld.
But, no matter how honest a
paper or man may be, what with
propriety may be ASKED can be put
in the form of a DEMAND, which Il
self-respecting man will ignore, es-
peciallv if the latter has reason to
feel the request or demand Is made
by one who has no right to make
it. We venture the assertion that
q large proportion of labor troubles
and strikes have been caused. not
so much because of concessions
asked. but because of the way III
which one side or the other De
MAyDEr certain things.
Getting back to the case in point:
The Goldtield Mining company of
Nevada is neither insipid nor de-
funct. 1t is the pioneer mining
company OF the district, and /, Off

The above being true, it seems
peculiar that the Record should
place the Goldfield Mining com
pany in its ''insipid" list. 1t Is
probable that the Record, at the
request Of Il stakeholder, sent let
tiers asking for information which,
owing to faulty mail service, were
not received here. As the Gold
field Mining company has never
offered its stock to the general pub
ylc. it is under no obligation to give
information to the Record editor
or anyone else not IA stakeholder.

REFUSED TO PRINT

The Jackson and other papers severely
criticised the Governor for the above
telegram. The editor of THE COMMON

which is self-explanatory:

Birdsall, Greenwood, Miss.-My Dear
Sir:
/ hand you copy of communica-
tion which was brought forth by Vi
cious attack upon the Governor in the
Clarion Ledger of this place, in regard
to his intimation to President Francis
that the State Of Mississippi desired no
mora communication with Theodore
Roosevelt than this latter desired with
Jefferson Davis. The Clarion Ledger
refused to print the communication. |
do not believe that you will be placed
in the same category Of denying the
people who read your admirable paper
an opportunity to see the other side Of
of the question.
Very respectfully,
GARRARD HARRIS.
The communication which the Clarion
Ledger refused to print, is as follows:

LIGHT AND WATER

Foundation Being Laid for The New tnaIne
10 Arrive In a few DAYS.

The big new engine ordered some
time ago for the Greenwood Light and
Water Plant, is expected to arrive in a
few days. Work is now well under way
at the plant in laying the foundation
for the engine, and this will be ready
in time to put the engine in place as
soon as it arrives.
Practically all the new machinery is
now on the way, and it is expected that
it will be installed by the middle OF
January, when there will he a noticea-
bic Improvement in the service. With
the old equipment it is impossible to
give the service which Manager Dab
ney would like to give. This is gener-
orally understood, but when the new
plant is installed people will expect and
receive as good serAico as may be had
anywhere.

goes without saying.

GOV. VANDAMAN
ON ROOSEVELT
Sizes Up the Accidental President In a
Telegram to President Francis

Jackson, Miss.-Gov. Vardaman this
morning received the following telegram
from President Francis, Of the Worlds
Fair.
St. Louis, No., Nov. 27. 1904
Hon. J. X. vardaman, Governor of Miss
Jackson, Miss.
Presidents visit to exposition yester-
day greatly enjoyed by himself and ap-
preciated by exposition management and
people who welcomed him in large num-
bers. He saw and admired Mississippi
building and expressed great gratitca-
tion at participation of your State.
David r. Francis, President.
Governor Vardaman replied to the
above as follows:
jackson, Miss, Nov. %, 1904.
Hon. David r. Francis, President Worlds
Fair Commission, St. Louis, Mo-:
Your courteous message informing me
that the President saw and admired the
Mississippi building and expressed
qualification at the States participation
in the Fair has been received.
u thank you for the information. 1t
is, af course, gratifying to the people
Of Mississippi to know that they have
done one thing that the present Presi-
dent Of the United States approves.
Doubtless the Presidents admiration of
the Mississippi building is due to his
admiration Of Jefferson Davis, of whose
home it is replica. want to con-
gratulate you upon the greatest exposi-
tion the world has ever known.
JAS. X. VARDAMAN.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

No one expected that the political
and personal enemies Of Governor
Vardaman would commend him for
his outspoken reference to Roose-
velt, in his telegram to President
Francis, and it may be assumed that
the Governor is making no apologies
to them or to anyone else for his at
titude in the matter.
The Governors enemies, mindful
of the popularity of his administra-
ton, and fearful Of his increasing
political power in the State, have
been waiting for an opportunity to
seize upon some tlimsy preteXt to
attack him, and the Francis tele-
gram seemed to furnish the desired
occasion. No one who has sense
enough to properly read and inter
pret the English language would
construe the Governors telegram as
in any sense djscourteous to Mr.
Francis, and the effort to make it 50
appear is silly twaddle
So far as his refrence to Roosevelt
is concerned, the latter's attitude to-
ward the South, and especially to-
ward Mississippi, gives the lie to his
hypocritical protestations of admlra-
ton for anything pertaining to Mis-
sissippi.
The Commonwealth thinks that
most of the criticism that has been
made against the Governor has been
manufactured by his political and
personal enemies, and that the ma
jority of the people Of Mississippi
will endorse him.
The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1904-12-03

Editor Clarion Ledger: 1t seems to
me you are unduly severe in your con-
demnation of the message sent by Gov
ernor Nardaman to President Francis of
the exposition relative to TIL eodere
Roosevelt's gracious appreciation of the
Mississippi exhibit and building.
There was no discourtesy to President
Francis. A calm perusal of the message
shows that; but when Governor Narda-
man thought of the desecrating specta-
Gle of Theadore Roosevelt entering the
replica of the home of Jefferson Davis
that gentle old man he DETAINED about
whom he told deliberate untruths in his
published works; to whom, when the
poor old Mississippian, ex-President of
the Confederacy, after being called by
this same Roosevelt "the arch traiter,"
"chief repudiationist," one of a brutal
race yentured to call Roosevelt's at
tention in courteous terms to "repub-
licanist" received typewriter commu-
nication, not even signed, not even ad-
dressed as ordinary letters, as follows:
Theodore Roosevelt desires no com
munication with Jefferson Davis"
] say when Governor Vardaman recall
ed all this, and thought of the blatant
Roosevelt stamping through the rooms
hallowed by the memories of the heart
Of the Confederacy who, when feeble,
weak, old and broken in heart and spir-
its, he had gratuiously insulted and
wantonly DETAINED, it was natural and
human as Mississippian who resented
the Dissertation, to have given express
sion to something and not exactly COM
plimentary to the Rough Rider.
True, the Governor could have remain
ed silent, but after Roosevelt has insult
ed the South by saying that Southern
ers have q strong strain of brutility in
their nature" after dining with a
niger as wanton defiance to our
traditions; after forcing another niger
down the throats of the Charleston
people as collector and representative
of the port; after Furnishing a whole
community in this State for the lawless
act of few men; after Offering every
malicious wrong he could do to the most
illustrious citizen, the President of the
Confederacy, Roosevelt graciously con-
sents to approve our exhibit made at the
Exposition, and through our Executive,
we are to crawl to the feet of this ar
rant charlitan, aud there lick the boot
which has time and again spurned us?
Not if the Southern nature is un-
changed. The Governor might have
carrolled ioyfully over this distinguish
ing mark of Immortality conferred upon
us, and those who are sever ready to
crook the pregnant hinges of the knee
that thrift may follow fawning" would
have cooed sweetly about his "broad
craftsmanship and the material pros
perity" which Teddy's dentifcrous smile
would confer upon us.
A man who would defame an old man
like jefferson Davis is unworthy of re-
spect; il he is shown his wrong and re-
fuses to right it, he merits contempt
