NOT 4 CENTURY OLD.
But Old Enough to Know and Do Its
 Duty.

But Old Enough to Know and Do Its
 Duty.
 New Orleans Picayune.
 The Vernon News remarks, concern ing some announcements that recently appeared in the New Orleans papers, that:
 The dear old Picayune has been sued enough by different members of the Po- lice Board, if they be successful. to bankrupt that institution. But 1t is an easy reflection that The Pic has not been in the newspaper business a hun dred years for nothing, and 1t knows what Is solid reading matter and what is not"
 We'll. The Pieayune is not quite a century old. although it is well on the road in that direction, but 1t has had some experience in the newspaper busi- ness, and 1t has never failed, in q proper and 1egitaimate way, to exercise its right and duty, as a representative of the people of this State and city, to criticise the public behavior of public officials. That is what The Picayune did In the case of the Police Board Of New Orleans. and in doing so did It's duty. That The Picayune voiced the Judgment and the wishes of the peopte of this State and city, is established by the fact that the Board has been leEislated out of office. Members were only criticised as to their official con- duct so far. But those members who have seen fit to attack The Picayune in the premises may have to explain their private conduct while holding import ant public offices.

would mean stagnant times and lower values, whether their possessions be In the shape of stocks and bonds or in houses and farm lands.
 Now, what sense Is there in making such untruthful assertions? The Press knows that "all owners of property do not take any such thing for granted. Even if all owners of property were Republicans they would not be so pre- judiced as The Press intimates, and would not by any means take it for granted that they would go into the bankruptcy court merely because c Democratic President was elected. We suppose The Press used the language as a campaign argument but it is not likely that it will have any effect with men of sense. There may be some Republicans who will believe it but we have a better opinion ot the party than to think any great numbers are so ig- norant or so prejudiced

SOME cRUMpAoKERrNG.

As was natural, the Republicans couldn't let such an occasion as their cuckoo convention pass without tak- ing a crack at the South. Whenever and wherever Republicans assemble themselves together they are dead sure to resolute about the negro and the South. and the Chicago convention was an especially favorable time and place for such work. There were some scores of colored delegates in the convention and they had to be rubbed the right way. There are some hum dreds of thousands of colored votes in the North and they are essential tc Republican success. Then the party must maintain it's reputation for 4t- ting into matters that don't concern 1t.
 For all these reasons the convention was bound to do some Crumpackering. and must needs ring in the time-worn rot about suffrage in the South. The Northern Republican dearly loves the negro in the South. In the North they do not thlnk enough oI mn to eiect him to a good office or to send him as delegate to their conventions. but they have oceans of sympathy for the ebon-hued citizen who is, for any cause, denied the right of suffrage in the South. No doubt the men who voted for the resolution 1t Chicago knew that it was not only useless and inn pertinent but thoroughly hypocritical. For all these reasons it was typically Republican.

General statements as to the pro- gress made in checking the ravages of consumption are always interesting, but 1t is much better to have specific statistical information upon the sub ject. Vital statistics have been taken in Massachusetts since 1S42. In all the years before 1857 the annual death rate from consumption was nearly or quite four thousand to a million in habitants. The rate has declined al- most steadily ever since. It was about thirty-two hundred to a million in 1882: less than twenty-five hundred in 1892 and less than sixteen hundred in 1902--the lowest point reached up to that time. Corresponding figures for England show a similar decrease. The system of keeping vital statistics has not been general enough to make sure that all the States can present as good record of progress as Massa- chusetts, but all the facts that are available are encouraging.

 A GOOD EXAMPLE,

The extremists, among the Union Labor men are learning a much needed lesson. which is that they are not su- perior to the laws of the land. In various parts of the country there have been unionists who were apparently of the opinion that they were above all law except their own desires, and they ought to have known that there must be a limit to their intolerance. In Baltimore recently a non-union work ingman was set upon by three union men and badly beaten. The ruffians were brought up before Judge Gran nan. and this is the way he talked to them:
 Any man. woman or child has the right to ask for higher wages, and. not getting them. to stop work. But no man, woman or child has the right to Interfere with any ether individual In this case a brutal assault has been Inflicted upon citizen of Baltimore, who was exercising his right to work for the Merchants and Miners Trans strongly condemn such behavior. whether it is committed by members of an organized body, by their sympa- thizers or by individuals. Therefore. George Baleda. Tony Sares and James Godd, I fine each of you Sl0 and costs and sentence you additionally to serve six months in Baltimore city jail"
 That was talking to the point. and it was just the way all courts should talk and act in similar eases. If the unions themselves cannot or will not put down rufianism the laws and the courts must do 1t, and when union men resort to the methods of the thugs In order to keep non-union men from exercising their right to work for liv- ing a term in prison will teach them that there is still such thing as per sonal freedom in the land and that there are courts to punish those who try to deprive others of their right to work More Judges like Judge Gran nan and frequent examples of the kind made by him will be lesson to ruff fans and an advantage to fair minded and tolerant union men.

A Growing Sentiment.

DemopOI1S EXpress-DIspdtcH.
 For the first time in the history of Alabama the principle of local taxa ton is recognized in the constitution. Under this constitution counties may, by a three-fifths vote of the people. levy tax of 10 cents on the $100. The machinery for levying this tax has been provided and the question is now being agitated in many counties. The sentiment in favor of local taxation is growing in the State every day.

 The Republicans do not seem to en- tain much respect for the Supreme Court of the United States. That court. it will be recalled, has heard all the charges filed against the Demo- cratic party at the South in the mat ter of new election laws and in every case has decided for the Democrats. It would seem that the Republican party proposes to take issue with the Supreme Court

A Bit of Inconsistency,

memphis CG@nmercial- Appeal
 Ii Democratic President had ap- pointed Republican to membership in his cabinet mighty roar of disappro- val would have gone up from Dan to Beersheba. This is what happened when MT. Cleveland selected Walter O Gresham to preside over the State De- partment, but if the party had rallied tH him in this instance if would have encouraged the detection from Repub- ilcan rarks and built up strong fol- lowing in the Republican Common wealths of the West. This appoint- ment may have been a blunder. as some have averred, but 1t Is the lea st olt inconsistent for Mir. Cleveland's ac- cusers and critics to condemn him when they admit an old Radical like Henry M. Teller Into the inner sane tuary Of the party and elevate him to the high priesthood. Teller left the Republican party to save his bacon ana not from principle. but with Gres- nam It was altogether different. He acted from disinterested motives and with no thought of being rewarded.

Good Showing and Good Sentiment

GOOd Showing ana Go0d Senthment' Brundidge News.
 Tax Collector Gibson made his an- nuaI settlement with the State Auditor last week and was checked O. K. In this connection we will add that Pike had no lands advertised for sale this year. nor has it had any considerable amount of lands advertised to be sold for taxes for several years past. We do not deem this. however, any great hardship upon the newspapers of the country. Public printing is legitimate patronage when fairly obtained. justly compensated and not based upon the necessities of the people, their mis- fortunes or inability to meet obliga- tions to the government. All is not good grist that comes to the mill, and while tax sales and like advertisements are required by law to be printed, and the publisher should get a just com pensation therefor, The News is glad that no land Is advertised for taxes in Pike. 1t being an evidence of the peo- ple's prosperity, which will rebound far more to the good of the newspapers, than the money that would come to them from advertising such sales. The newspaper based upon the esteem and patronage of prosperous people will live and have an influence which can not be broken down or resisted. and one that depends upon pap" for ex- istence, doesn't deserve to succeed and is likely, sooner or later, to hit the ceiling"

| While it may be the breeding place of freaks and freak politics, Kansas manages in a material way to keep up with the procession, The statement is made that since 1894 Kansas has pulled herself out of debt; her proportion of rented farms is smaller than that of any other State in the Trans Missouri country. seven-tenths of the homes of the people are owned. The rail- road mileage of the State is larger than that of any other American State in proportion to the population. The per capita wealth of Kansas may not be larger than that of New York, but Kansas wealth is more evenly dis tributed. There are no rich men-not a dozen men in the State worth more 2 than sI,OOO.OOo; not 200 worth $500. 900. but thousands worth from s5.O0O to $10.oOO and scores worth $1OO 900.

The Hartford Courant is not at all pleased with the practice of having delegates from the Territories to take part in our National conventions. It was bad enough. it argues, when only our Territories here at home were rep resented. but when all our outlying possessions are thus placed on an equality with the States of the Union
 the thing has gone too far. As all the territories combined cannot con- tribute a single electoral vote to either party the folly of allowing them rep resentation in the convention is ap- parent. And when we reflect that the vote of delegate from Hawaii caused the free silver plank to be inserted in the Democratic platform of 1900 we can join The Courant in its unfavorable aninion of territorial representation.

TERRIER ATTACKS A LION.
Recent Exploring Expedition in Al
riea Marked by Some Thrill
ing Experiences.

A recent exploring expedition along
the boundaries Of British East Africa
killed 80 lions and had some thrilling
adventures. Capt. Maud, who was in
command, writes IN the Philadelphia
Inquirer: Baird had a few days be-
fore been mauled by a lion. The brute
charged out from a patch Of brush and
Baird's shot failed to stop him. The
next moment the lion hal knocked
him down and was mauling him
''Baird's fox terrier James, which had
hitherto had a well-merited reputation
for discretion, performed prodigies Of
valor and positively found HIS way into
the lions mouth. But he was not Of
his majesty's tagte, and was elected,
strangely enough. with little hurt.
Meanwhile Baird's two shikaris be-
hayed splendidly. One caught the lion
by the tail and pulled, while the other
very coolly shot him through the
heart Baird had several wounds, some
OF them deep, but the miracle Of HIS
escape as well as that Of James was
explained when It was seen that the
Hons Jaw had been broken by Baird's
first shot"
