a lot of little fellows. Don't say any
thing about it, but if every voter in
the county could see JEFF Cooper sing
bass he would be elected from SYM
patty alone without bringing into
play his personal popularity Natural

earth while singing. But someone

City Financial Report.

The report of the financial condi-
ton of the city j. printed i'm this issue
of the Weekly, and discloses hat the
expense of maintaining the city gov
eminent and utilities has been kept
well within the bounds of income.
Reference 10 the report will show
that the cash ON hand Oct. /, 1905 i
practically hat reported or hand Oct.
/, 1904, proving the above statement.
OF course "A large amount of money
has been realized in the sale OF the
water works and electric light bonds,
amounting to nearly 500. 10000, but
the itemized statement of how this
money has been expended in install
ing one of the best water works, sew
erage and electric light systems in
the State, Will prove highly crafty
ing to all concerned.
Among the commendatOry things
characterizing the management of
city affairs, il the excellent credit the
city enjoys in the money marts OF
the world.
While other towns of Mississippi
have been forced to sell their bonds
at less than face value-some a low
as - cents on the dollar-Aberdeen
has disposed Of hers at a round
premium.
Aside from the sale of bonds to put
in water works and sewerage and To
improve the light plant, the city has
a debt of only Si5 600. S25, 200 of this
school house bonds, $4,000 railroad
and SIC, 900 floating bonds, which will
be eliminated III a few years, if the
past policy of liquidating $4,000 OF
Indebtedness per annum is continued.
The Weekly ventures to say that no
city in the State can make a better
showing. nor Is responding to its ex-
cellent financial condition with more
rapid and substantial growth

Hamilton Singing.

Did you ever attend ian all-day
singing with dinner on the ground?'
If not, then you have lost many of
the good things of life and | advise
you to begin early and 90 often or
YOU will be lost in the shuttle. The
first thing that will attrac the atten-
ton of the observer, Is the wonderful
improvements. The log cabin of the
daddies il gone forever and even the

no longer sings of the "old log cabin

On Sunday morning in company
with my good friend Mr.. &. Z. Smith,

Gerry clerks office, hied ourselves
down TO historic Old Hamilton, where
Monroe county vas born, and, as
well as / know the people of the
county, 1 was amazed. L think 500

and a more polished, attractive, well
dressed, up-to-date gathering would
be hard to find, even in h blue grass
region of "Old Kentuck." But listen
Just a moment, until | tell you a half
secret! If you want to see the big
gest gathering of pretty girls you ever
saw, all well dressed, modest and at
tractive, just attend ian all-day sing
ing'' at Old Hamilton. It's a good
thing Smith and l are married or some
body would have been courted Sun

twenty years ago At hat time half
the gathering was in two-horse wag-
ons with half the chairs in the neigh

now. Not a wagon on the ground Sun

out tina there was in the whole coun-
ty 20 years ago. Mules and horses
all fat and sleek, all of which shows
financial and intellectual develop
ment. The crops all along are i'm fine

Is that the stands of cotton are all

TIE PEOPLE WANT TO TRY IT.

TIE PEOPLE WANT TO TRY 1T.
THE vote on the initiative and referendum
a proposition in this State was most gratiiy-
ing to the members of the league, who labored
so hard and SO earnestly to promote the measure
The proposal was carried by a very large ma
ioriiy There were, however thousands of men
who did not express their sentiments. 1t is said
that in some places there were no ballots in the
booths Thousands of voters did not under
stand the question and hence did not care to vote
upon IT, Those who voted in the negative also
evidently were doubtful of what the league is
really after and hence would not support pro-
posal that was involved in uncertainty. But
there is a large element that has expressed ap-
proval OF the work OF the league and the latter as
soon as possible should formulate a positive pro-
gram So that tic citizens can see what is really
contemplated
There need be little uncertainty about the ref
ereadum part .of the program The referendum
is astlccdcd check on legislation. As we Under
stand It. for instance, should the Legislature pass
a bill which q certain percentage Of the people
deem unwisc they can call for the submission OF
the proposed law TO- the people for their approval
or rejection The voice Of the voters is iiial
About the initiative there is more doubt and
different schemes for an initiative can be framed.
The pure initiative gives the people the right to
suggest a measure and vote on it at large In
effect this would supercede the Legislature or
the veto OF a governor. 1t would be direct or
town meeting form Of legislation FN
Then there is an advisory scheme of initiative
under which the voters could suggest to the Leg
islature the passage OF certain la'G, and upon
failure Of the Legislature 70 make such an enact
ment the question could be put up TO the people
for their approval
OF course the Legislature must adopt some pro-
posed initiative and referendum law, and before
such measure is enacted there will be ample
time for discussion and thoughtful consideration.
The League is not intending to submit anything
revolutionary or extreme 1t wants to arouse
PEOPLE OF the State to greater interest in legsla-
ton and TO increase their responsibility in gov
crnment affairs. We trust the whole matter will
be thoroughly considered now that the league
has succeeded in stirring much interest. and we
feel sure bill will be framed that will answer
reasonable objections that have been advanced

CORPORATION JUDGES DEFEATED.

a the election in New York what was known
n as the Judiciary nominators ticket" Of
judges for the county was overwhelmingly de-
feated Not a man named by the self-appointed
committee was elected The ticket selected
by a committee Of leading lawyers headed by Mr..
Joseph II. Choate, and nearly all of their nomi-
nees were attorneys for corporations and usder
corporation influences. Their election would
have been fine thing for Mr.. Choate and his
fellow corporation attorneys. Had the people
agreed with them the judiciary nominators slate
would have been elected and the bench would
have been composed of men who at least we're
very friendly to predatory wealth. The people
would have had difficult time to obtain justice
in courts so constituted.

IS PROSPERITY oNE-sIDED.

W + are waiting for the manufacturing con-
Germs OF our city to follow the lead OF
the railroad corporations and share with their
employees their enormous earnings. There is no
reason why the workngmen Of Wilmington
should not be treated with some consideration
in these prosperous, booming times. In most
cases they are on the same wage scale of ten
years ago. The cost OF living has greatly in
creased, but that appears to make little or no
difference to a certain stamp of employer who
looks upon his worSingmen as mere servants or
slaves, and who should be thankful that they get
enough to eat and wear and have place to sleep.
There are some employers who recognize the
part labor plays in their prosperity and are in
clined to share it with their men. We hope soon
to announce that some OF our Wilmington manu-
facturers, mindful OF the blessed golden rule,
have granted substantial increase of wages to
those patient toiling workers who deserve so
much and yet have received so little benefit Of
these unparalleled prosperous times Who will BE-
the first?

MEANING OF NEW YORK ELECTION.

nj OST of the New York papers take sober
1 Ayiew Of the election in that State. Some
OF them pretended to believe that Hearst would
be defeated by an overwhelming majority say
couple OF hundred thousand or so. The New
York Prss, however, did not deceive its readers
by such predictions and it came closer to the
truth than did any Of them. And by the way,
Mr. Hughes owes his election as governor of that
great State more to The Press than to any Of the
other journals in that city.
While Hearst was defeated the remainder of
the Democratic State ticket appears to have won.
Hearst was the low man. The significant part of
it is that the other Democratic nominees stood
on the same platform as did Hearst The plat
form was radical enough and shows that there
is a strong radical sentiment throughout the
State. 1t is not likely to recede, either Corpo-
ration mouthpcces like the New York Times are
now pointing out that the evil trusts and rich
men will have to change their methods. or they
will be swept out Of power by the rising tide Of
radicasm.
Much depends upon the administration of Mr..
Hughes Should he make good and carry out
his pledges his strength will increase and he
people will be satisfied.
1t is doubtful however, whether the radical
element will be entirely submerged The senti-
ment OF the State is strong against the spolation
by trusts Fortunate indeed is it that President
Roosevelt - in fall power and can continue his
ssrfare against corporation greed and abuses.

Republican court-martial should be held and the
