Organic Union.

The subcommittee Of the two
great denominations of Presby-
terians, the Old School and the
Cumberlands, have agreed upon
terms by which they will come to
gether in n body to be known
as the Presbyterian church in
America. Under these terms the
Cumberland church, yields it's
separate organization aud returns
to the fold from which it came
about a century ago. The findings
of this committee will be submitted
to the General Assembly of each
church which rleet on the 2lst OF
May next, for ratification and a
vote by the la ty will afterwards
be taken to finally settle the ques
ton.
This proposition was first made
several years ago and has ecelv
ed the careful consideration from
the clergy and laity of each de
nomination to which it was entitled
and it is thought that this vote,
when taken, will be largely III ia
vor of union.
This movement involves many
important matters. The questions
of doctrinal belief, and of church
government have been virtually
settled by the action of the com.
mittee, but it is believed tina
many members of either denomi-
nation will hesitate to give up the
church relations which have bounC
them for the greater part. of their
lives. This will be the case il
many instances, especially, with
the aged who have chung to the
faith of their fathers for SO many
years. The disposition OF churcl
property will also be a matter Of
much interest. La cities and 10.
calities both churches have build
ings. Uuder the merger only one
house of worship and one mans
will be needed
This is the most important ac
ton of religious bodies witnessed
during the nineteenth century. Il
is to be devoutly hoped that i
may be successfully consummateG
in the spirit of christian faith and
hope and that it may rebound tt
the good of all parties in immedi
ate interest.

Rearst's Boom.

The Hearst boom of which we
hear so much is only the reflex of
the amount of cash that Hearst
is putting into it. It has no sol
id foundation and comes as near
beiug manufactured as a political
boom a be- Hearst is a million
aire and owns several yellow news
papers IN large cities. These are
pushing his ''boom'' for all it is
worth to them and to him. He is
IA gay and festive young man of
about forty years of age aud has
as little claim on the democratic
party as rou'e' could have upon
the church. He is an ornamental
member of congress, having been
elected from u New York City dis
trict, aud has been seen In his
seat only twice since he va sworn
in. He is the son OF old man
George Hearst who was sent to the
United States Senate by the demo
Gratis Of California after he had
made II big fortune ont there. His
son inherited his millions and put
them into newspapers at New
York, Chicago, San Francisco and
Los Angeles. He has shown some
ability in their direction, but
none of them are classed with the
higher type of papers.
The democratic party has now
the best opportunity to elect a
president that it has had in a good
many years. 1t oses it to the
country to present to the people
as It's candidate a patriot and a
statesman who has earned the re-
spect of the party by a life. of per-
sonal purity and party devotion.
He should haye earned a record
for party fealtly and should have
exhibited unmistakeable capacity
for the exalted place. 1t can not
afford to present the name of a
man whose life record shows no
act or deed in line with the high
station. 1t certainly can not nomi-
nate Hearst and will not do so.
Hearst will probably be at the
convention with a big crowd of
heelers, and squealers; but the
votes east for him will be few and
far between.

Guy w. Mitchell and Henry Hill

Guy W. Mitchell and Henry Hill
bun are the two youngest members
of the Mississippi legislature. Mr..
Mitchell represents the counties of
Itawamba and Lee as Floater, while
Mr.. Hilbun is from the county of
Jones. Both are active, faithful
Legislators but differing widely on
many questions of public policy.
Both are lawyers just on the thresh-
old of their professional careers.
Both haye many friends and de-
serve them. Both were elected to
the Legislature as soon as they could
vote and hold office.-Greenyille
Democrat.
We pnplish the above with pleas
ure. It shows the estimation in
which u young friend, Guy
Mitchell, is held abroad. We trust
Guy may grow to his measurement.
He has made a fine start and when
we consider the old block Of which
he is a chip we feel that he will
not stop short of the highest stand

After the Labor Agents.

The planters r making it hot
in many sections of the State for
the labor agents who are now stir
ring about quite actively in their
efforts to collect large gangs of
negroes for the large plantations
in the delta.
The efforts of the labor agents
seem to be confined chiefly to the
southern part of the State, where
the %whitecaper disturbances have
been brewing for the past year or
more, and it is IL comparatively
easy matter to induce the negroes
to leave these locations.-Clarion

San Domingo.

The indications are that the
Uulted States will soon be embroil-

Of San Domisgo, one Of the West
Indies. The people of that island
are principally negroes and their
rulers are all OF that race. They are
now engaged in one of the fort
nightly revolutions that seem to
break out down there with every
change of the moon. Advices from
Washington state that u pug
nacious president is displeased
over something that has been done
by the Dominicans that did not
show proper respect for the bun

HON. D. ". HOUSTON.

We have learned with great salts
faction that this distinguished
gentleman may become a candi-
dn}r for Senator from the 2Sth dis
t'ict TO fill the vacancy made by
the death of Hon w. B. Walker.
Mr.. Houston resides at Aberdeen
and is a leading member of the
bar of that city. He is a gentle
man of distinguished ability and
would grace the position through
his high character and magnetic
Influence. Governor Vardaman
has ordered an election to supply
the vacancy to be held on March
5th. The three counties, Monroe,
Lee aud Itawamba, will all partici-
pate in the election. The law pro.
vides that one Of the two Sena-
tors from this district shall reside
in Monroe county, Mr.. Houston
would certainly be voted for by his
equity should he become 3 candi-
date. There is no man who would
be more acceptable to the people
of Itawamba and Lee. We hope
he may enter the race and become
our Senator.

Pleasant Interview.

We had the pleasure of an inter-
view with Mr.. Spang, the manager
of the Topsy Hosiery Mill, a few
days since and learned a good deal
from him about its present situa
ton At present there are ninety
operatives at work there, but the
entire machinery of the mill is not
at work. This is because Of the
lack of labor, which Mr.. Spang
says, is hard to get. The opera
tiyes in this factory are Of IA su-
perior class. Mr.. Spang has been
very cautious in employing his
hands as he has desired to fill his
mill with a class of higher social
and intellectual grade than the
ordinary run of factory operatives.
He is continually on the look ont
for hands and expects as soon as
the winter is past to secure a full
supply.
Mr.. Spang deprecates the plan
usually adopted by factories of
huddling all their operatives in
close quarters. He does not think
it conducive to health, good morals
or intellectual betterment to build
a number of HOUSES in close proXl-
ty for the families whose parents
and children work in factories.
There is not in such clustering of
houses and grouping Of families
any gam of intelligence or moral
benefit to be obtained. On the
contrary such conditions initiate
against health and moral gain.
This is because in such cases there
is no attritlon with superior class
es from which cause there is al
ways drawn good results, 1t is
far better that the hands should
dwell in parts of the city where
the niger classes reside. He does
not NEAR that they should have as
good houses as their neighbors oc.
cupy nor that they should live up
on a similar scale. The advantages
which they would gain would come
from the contact and association
that would ensue from neighbor-
ship. Comfortable cottages built
on small lots near, or between, the
more pretentious dwellings would
suit the mean and aspirations of
these people. They would gain
greatly by the attrltion which
would necessarily ensue. They
would be benefited by the touch Of
GOOD, kind neighbors and learn
much from observation. These
advantages they are denied by resi-
dence in the cramped and crowd
ed factory village. Mr.. Spang SAYS
that as soon as the present ma
chinery of this mill is all in opera
ton additions will be made and
continue to be made until the
"Topsy Hosiery Mill' shall be-
c1me the largest knitting mill in
the south. He is a gentleman of
fine intelligence and is fast becom-
ing a strong facsor in our enlarg-
ing manufacturing interests. We
shall have more to ay on this
subject when u space will per-
nit and hope to arouse the dispo-
sition of our house builders to
come to the aid of our factories.

In reading about the Russo-Jap
war we find our knowledge of ge-
ography to be quite limited. We
have a general idea of the two
hemispheres and an indistinct idea
of where Manchuria and Korea are
located. But when it comes to Wi
ung-che-fow-to-ki.o and Che-mnl-
po-soing- spang-ping pong, we
search our old Olney's geography
in vain. The proposition of Mr.

to a small area, if adopted, would
relieve us from further perpleX-

A Fine Example.

Congressman Shafroth, OF Colo
rada, recently gave the country a
manifestation of political honesty
that is refreshing. His seat was
contested and the testimony ad
dnced before the Committee on
Elections was damaging to Mr..
Shafroth's claim. He admitted that
there had been fraud practiced to
elect him aud manfully withdrew
from the contest and gave up his
seat. This is the first time this
has been done in congress. Shat
roth was elected as a democrat
and, after this manly act, is fully
entitled to be one. We have never
been able to distinguish between
personal honesty and political
honesty and believe that a man
who would mold an office to which
he was not fairly elected Is as bad
as the man who, with knowledge,
would receive stolen goods. We
are glad that Shafroth's example
came from a democrat. The coun-
try would have waited till dooms-
day before it would have come
from the other side. There are on
record numerous instances where
the republicans have deliberately
ousted democrats who were elected
in order to increase their strength
in the House of Representatives.

SPOKANE CANDIDATE FOR UNIT
ED STATES SENATE WILL
START CANVASS.
His Friends Count on Support of Spo-
kane Delegation if 1t Is
Republican.

SPOKANE, Wash, Oct. 27.-Charles
Sweeny, president of the Federal Min
ing & Smelling company and candidate
for the United States senate has re-
turned from a two months trip to New
York. Politicians believe that Mr.
Sweeny has returned to take charge of
his campaign 70. the senate. Mr.
Sweeny declined to discuss this matter
yesterday, further than to say that if
his friends deemed it expedient for
him to enter the race he would do so
and make the fight This is the same
statement which he made about three
months ago.
While Mr.. Sweeny declined to dis
cuss his senatorial candidacy, state
politicians believe that he is preparing
to make the hardest fight before the
several years.
On the theory that the Legislature
that the senatorial fight next winter
will be a three cOrnered one-one in
which the leading aspirants will be
Senator Foster. Mr.. Sweeny, and Who
ever in the last analysis proves to be
the real King county candidate. 1t has
yet to be developed whether the King
county delegation will support Samuel
H. Piles. John L. Wilson or Jacob
Furth. Many we'll informed men believe
that Mr.. Furth will prove to be the
real candidate of King county.
There seems to be no doubt that the
democrats will elect several members
of the legislature both in King and
Pierce counties. That result, of course,
will weaken the home support of both
Senator Foster and the King county
candidate, whoever the latter may be.
The democrats in Spokane, moreover,
claim they will elect several members
of the Legislature, and if they do that
result VIII weaken MI. SWeenyS nome
support.
The attitude of the Spokane repub-
lican nominees for the legislature is
shrouded in more or less mystery. John
l.. Wilson has claimed all over the state
that a large majority of them are for
him. The candidates themselves deny
that they are pledged to any senatorial
candidate. Several of them say they
would support home man in prefer
ence to an outsider, and Mr.. Sweeny
is the only home candidate. Mr..
Sweenys friends believe that practi-
cally all of the nominees, if elected.
will support him.

it has seemed necessary to those COM

Issue Will Not Down.
The mistake is often made of stat
ing the principle for which Gov. Nc
Bride stands to be the establishment Of
a state railroad commission, and in
speaking of this as his hobby In fact
the desire for the creation of a railroad
commission, while genuine, and in my
judgment praiseworthy, is but drop
in the bucket. The issue is larger-it
is tremendous. Shall the state be gov
the great corporations? for as the DOM
inant party is controlled, SO is the
state. Mcbride happens to be the ex-
ponent of one side of this question.
Mcbride, the man, may be defeated,
but the issue still lives, it will not
down. Party lines do not contain it. So
truly and fully is Mcbride the repre-
sentative of the issue that his defeat
will be regarded, generally. and justly,
as the defeat of the principle involved.
Shake Of the Yoke.
The state is full-certainly some
localities of the state are full of re-

the railroad yoke at any cost Will not
these men, and their representatives
in the Legislature, attribute the con-
tinuance of the existing condition pri-
marily, or in large part at least, to the
one county in the state, whose vote in
the state convention is large enough
to have the yoke removed. If they do,
