LET THIS SETTLE IT.

L We see that several of the news,
\ papers are still discussing the sen,
atorial succession. In some quar-
tiers there seems to be an impress
sion that Senator Money will not be
in the contest. The Senator feels
some sense Of modesty about parad-
ing himself for the succession, when
his present term has just been en-
tered upon, but as @Rasticus' said
recently, The Senator and his
friends will have something to say
before he is knocked out"
We believe the people Of Missis-
sippi will appreciate his feelings
and understand his motives for not
proclaiming to the world his candi-
dacy. AS a friend Of the Senator
we answer that he will stand for re-
election, unless his health is. SO
greatly impaired before then as to
make IT necessary for him to retire.
The aspirants for the position,
-self-called, !se~lf-praising, and utter
~ ignoring the wishes Of the De-
mocracy Of the State are hoping to
stir the waters that they may profit,
whether the party may profit or not.
When the proper time comes and
the hour calls, the hero will come.

Hill is "disloyal to Governor Varda.
man, and charges him with engag.
ing in "baok-biting politics. and
warns the Representative from the
Fourth District that his constituents
will remember him at the polls on
election day, and that he may find
his road to Congress next wear
strewn with stumbling blocks and
thorns, that may prove formidable
obstacles" adding that Mr.. Hills
fight on Governor Vardaman is de-
cidedly uniustifiable, ill-timed, H.
hammered and in bad taste, and he
will find hundreds to resent it on
the first opportunity"
The above, doubtless, means that
Mr.. Hill has a leaning for Senator
Money as his own successor, which
would be perfectly natural, under
the circumstances,
The Winona Times, Mr.. Hills
home paper, denies the soft l i'm
parchment laid against Mr.. Hill by
the Herald, and says:
Mr. Hill has declared publicly or
privately no position on the senator
ial question, Unlike the extremely
suspicious editor Of the Herald, the
Congressman from the Fourth has
been unwilling to thrust this busy
and prosperous commonwealth into
the turmoil of a heated political
campaign to be waged two years
than is necessary"
"The Herald, in guarding the
senatorial aspirations of our worthy
md honored Governor, appears very
much like an old hen guarding her
brood, that esteems everyone enter
ng the barnyard her enemy, who
Ices not scatter a handful Of meal
o her chicks. His u~nwarranted, I'M
proven, unsustained attack on Mr..
I'LL shows him to be just about that ,
tapable in passing upon any ques-
ion touching his hobby Clarion

We would not give a cent for an

anything but stands, health of
weed and weather. All this grass
talk, so far as its bearing upon har-
vest results goes, amounts to moth
ling. Grass is simply an obstacle
that confronts will and muscle, and
an invitation, incentive and chal-
lenge to labor, and the battle with
it will always be won if the weather
admits Of fighting; and its conquest

But a few times in the past quar-
ter Of a century have prospects
so gloomy for the farmer.
Not the least m~enacing of all crop
conditions, is that of corn-the i
mainstay and bulwark Of all planta-
lion prosperity. Never before prob
ably was old corn so universally
sorry. What young corn will do, I
IS shrouded in a deep and porten- {
tous mystery. And the cotton {
but it matters little whether it is a G
large or a small crop. One will sell G
for about as much as the other, if 3
not more. The farmer is d~eserving G
sympathy, if not pity. He is the '
prey of the wind and the weather,
storm and disaster, and if they were ii
lot optimistic by nature, more of n
hem would become hopelessly dis
outraged. -Kosciusko Herald.

be secured, whether by toning, by
complementaries, by contrast. or by
the small interval, must be considered
later. Meanwhile the reader may exer-

rarer than any but the initiated sup

and to the left stretched the gardens of

sun beat hot upon the white domes of the

picturesque figures of Arabs hawking
their oriental wares mingled with the

japanese Fare.

When the ordinary well-to-do Japa-
nese sits down to dine, the following
menu generally represents his meal:
Rice, soup, fish, and two or three vege-
tables, always served with a pickle,
which is very much like German sauer-
kraut, and other pickles of cucumbers,
turnlps or radishes. The soup is made
from fish. The fish itself is boiled,
stewe6 or fried. Rice takes the place
of bread. The only meal at which
sweet cakes are eaten is at the after
noon tea, between three and foul
o'clock. Some of these cakes are made
from boiled beans converted into
paste, favored and sweetened. Sponge
cake is very much liked.

EXPRESS COMPANIES BANE
Particularly Obnoxious Is the Man
Who Paints Address on
Trunk and Moves.

The bane Of the express company is
the man who has his address carefully
painted on his trunk or baggage. He
may change his address a score OF
times, but almost invariably the ad-
dress he had when he first bought his
trunk remains blazoned upon it, says
the Brooklyn Eagle. When for some
reason the destination marked on u
trunk is lost or has been written in
correctly, the trunk is held at the
terminal and then sent to any address
that can be found on it. If the trunk
has painted on it: John Jones, 500
Blank street, Newark, N. j." it Is
shipped off to Newark. But if Mr..
Jones, since he bought the trunk, has
moved to Manhattan or Brooklyn, or
POughkeepsie or some other place, his
trunk is going to have a long trip
before he gets it and a lot of needless
activity and expense is gone through
with.
Owing to such misunderstanding.
for which the owner is entirely to
blame, trunks have been shipped from
Long Island City to Chicago, while
the owner was all the time a resi-
dent of New York city. In other cases
trunks have also travelled from Long
Island City up to the heart of the
A~dirondacks because their destination
address had been lost and all that re-
NAMED to identify them was an old
express card plastered on, with an
Adirondack address.
If these trunks are not claimed, they
eventually find a lodging, along with
other express fiOtsam and jetsam, in
the con Hand Room" This is the
express company's orphan asylum
Here all lost and unclaimed parcels
everything from a paper of pins to a
grand piano is a parcel" in the ex-
press Office vocabulary-are stored,
and here one may find every conceiv-
able article, rowboats and r%efrigera-
tors, oil cans and cases Of cham
payne, baby carriages and bamboo
poles, garden hose and steam heaters.
These are for the most part articles
that have been dumped at some ter
minal by an alien expressman without
proper directions attached to them,
and without a clew to the owners
identity.
In the con Hand Room" of the Long
Island Express company. at Long Is
land City. many carefully wrapped
parcels and wooden boxes can be seen,
which have not as much as a word
written on the outside to betray their
contents. But these, along with all
other articles in the room, are care
fully numbered and their numbers en-.
tered in a record book, with the de-
scription attached. The express com
panies in this state are required by
law to keep these unclaimed articles
for at least one year before diSpOSing
of them. Every December, the Long
Island company makes a final effort by
advertising to find the owners and
then the articles are sold at auction.
The boxes or packed articles are sold
blind, the purchaser not being in
as to the contents. Bicycles
are things most commonly abandoned
by their owners and allowed to go
and at the last sale so were
sold. At no sale has the amount real
lied been more than sufficient to pay
for the expense of the effort made to
find the owners Of the various par
cells.
