Steps are being taken by prom
inept New Orleans merchants
who do a heavy business with
China and Japan to inaugurate
a ship hne between New Orleans
and the Orient. The business
between the southern ports and
the far east is increasing with
each succeeding year and it is a
matter of only a few years when
a heavy shipping will be carried
on from all our southern ports
with the eastern countries.
Southern manufactured cotton
goods find ready exchange for
Chinese and Japanese commodi-
ties that are bought in large
quantities by the United States
and such goods will be shipped
through southern ports as soon
as cnterprising southern mer-
chants afford the necessary ship
ping facilities.

The marriage Of the young
king Of Spain to Princess Ena Of
EBattenburg was the occasion Of
great ceremony and much pomp
by the royalty of Europe. Ev-
erybody seemed pleased with the
match and wished the happy
couple a long life Of much joy
except a murderous anarchist
who sought to end their lives by
throwing a bomb at the kingand
queen on their first public ap-
pearance. Uneasy rests the head
that wears a crown.

The rivers and harbors com

favorably the bill accepting for
the government the harbor of
Gulfport and the reimbursement
Of President Jones of the Gulf
& Ship Island railroad in the
sum of $3.50, 900, which Mr.. Jones
claims to have spent in work on
the harbor. AS the latter has
derived great benefit and profit
out Of the investment, there is
no apparent reason why he
should have this money refun-
ded. A mere gift of this mag

A WeItMerited Tribute to Prof.
Bailey T. Schumpert.

After having been identified
with our people for four years as
principal of the Verona High
School, Nh. Schumpert has, by
his ability, scholarship and ener-
gy brought the school to the
high standard of excellence that
it has now attained. The school
and the people of this communi-
ty value highly his long and eff
cient services as a teacher; his
helpfulness in church and Sun
day School work and his exam
pie and influence as a model cit.
izen among US.
1t is therefore with feelings OF
deep and sincere regret, on oul
part, that he sewers his connec.
ton with us to enter another
field of usefulness in his chosen
profession.
With high appreciation of hin
and his excellent work amongs
us, we hope that the same mea
sure of success and appreciation
may reward his efforts in hi
new field of labor.
While saddened at the loss t.
us, we take pleasure in recon
mending him to those with whom
he has cast his lot as being en-
tirely worthy in every way OF tn
highest degree of confidence.

Disclosures into the methods
of the packers in Chicago reveal
some very bad practices in the
matter of shipping out and sell
ing meats that are unfit for
food. The story told by those
who made an inspection is sick
ening and discloses an utter dis
regard for decency and the
health Of the people who con-
sumo this tainted meat. Atern
in the pen is too good for the
man whose greed for money is
so great that he will knowingly
sell unwholesome food to the
unsuspecting.

The PRIVILEGE Tax.

The annual collection of priv.
ilege taxes, which by law is done
during the month of May of each
year, has been completed with
but few exceptions, and the
sheriffs of the various counties
of the state will by the 10th
of the month forward a very
large sum in the aggregate to
the state treasury. The sum
thus collected is a direct tax on
the Individual in his efforts to
earn a livelihood and is there
fore unpopular with everybody,
it seems, but the legislator. The
idea Of a special privilege tax
began with the effortto get back
some part of the money which
fakes robbed the people Of and
to prevent imposition which were
often practiced by nonresident
vendors of nostrums and other
worthless articles; The tax has
been extended until there is
hardly a business thati is not done

The gubernatorial fghtin Ten
nessee was won by Malcolm r.
Patterson in a four days conven-
ton in Nashville, beginning on
the 29th inst. The nomination
came to Mr.. Patterson by ac-
clamation after one of the hard
est campaigns in the history Of
the state. The election of Gen.
Patterson was brought about
largely by the fight brought on
between Carmack, Fraser and
Cox on the one hand against
Taylor and Mem Han, which
resulted in the election of
Fraser to the United States
senate and the promotion of Cox
to the governorship. The de-
feat Of Carmack few weeks ago
was a forecast Of the situation
which showed that the people
did not approve the manner in
which the Carmack-Fraser-Cox
combination had shut out every
thing and every body unfriend-
ly to the combine. The election
of Patterson is a further condem-
nation Of the ring by the people
which will ultimately find a cul-
mination in the defeat of Fraser
for the senate by either McMill-
an or Gov. Patterson when Fra
ser's successor is ramed.

SCHOOL CONTRACTS LET
COSTS MONEY TO CHANGE LOCA-
TON OF NEW HIGH SCHOOL,
EVEN THIRTEEN FEET.

Contracts were awarded by the school
board yesterday for the erection of the
William Penn school on Penn avenue
NJ, and the foundation Of the fifth high
school at Hennepin avenue and Twenty
eighth street. The contract for the
Penn school was awarded to E. G..
Davis at $43,4l6, which was the lowest
ny $44. The contract for the founda-
ton Of the new high school was given
to F. G.. Mcmillan at $8,967. -.
A delegation Of citizens from that
section OF the city appeared before the
board to urge that the building be set
back fifty feet from Humboldt avenue,
instead of twenty-five feet, as pro-
posed. After some debate it was de-
cided to change the plans so as to put
the building back thirty eight feet, altho
this would cost $4,000 additional. Some
Of the citizens were not pleased over
the compromise and insisted that their
request should be granted, but the board
refused to concede any more as it would
take the building over into soft ground
and increase the expense from 100000
to $4,000. 80.
A. w. Rankin, assistant professor of
pedagogy at the state university, sub
mitted to the board proposition to
employ some of his students in helping
out the backward pupils in the public
schools. Such plan would be Of bene.
fit to the pupils and the prospective
teachers.
It was decided to appoint two assist.
ant kindergarten teachers at the Blaine
and Franklin schools.
