The Sheen Of Pearls.

The famous pearl stud belonging to
the late marquis of Anglesey, sold at
Christie's in London some time z for
the large sum Of SIS, 900, is eclipsed by a
beautiful pearl which changed hands
some years ago for over SIS, 900. 1t was.
Of course, huge in size, and absolute per-
lection as to shape and color, and IL
possessed that radiant sheen which
marks the pearl of great price. This
characteristic is noticeable in the pearls
owned by Queen Margherita of Italy,
and by those in the possession of the
duchess Of Marlborough, gems which
often graced the beautiful neck of Marie
Antoinette. The luster 1t is which raises
the value of the pearl and decides its
price, and a smaller jewel possessing 1t
will realize a larger sum of money than

FRESH POLITICAL NOTES.

Prosperity breeds tyrants.'
said Abraham Lincoln. 1t also
through Republican policies breeds
Cassatts, McCurdys, McCalls and
Hamiltons, Rockefellers, Morgans,
Schiffs, and a cloud of marauders OF
the same kind. Prosperity that cen.
t~ralizes wealth is a worse curse than
adversely. But prosperity in which all
participate according to their natural
abilities unfettered by vicious laws,
produces neither tyrants nor plumber.
erS.
The president wants the govern.
ment to hold on to its coal lands and
work them If necessary to protect
itself against extortion by the coal
trust. Is this socialism? If not why
was David B. Hill denounced as a
socialist when he proposed that the
government should own and operate
coal mines for the protection of the
public? Is it any more socialistic than
the making Of cement and gunpowder
and the construction Of warships by
the government? In order to preserve
the tariff schedules intact, the govern.
ment will be obliged to manufacture
its own supplies and dig its own coal
or go into bankruptcy.
The Washington Post declares
that the steel trust has promised to
sell structural iron in San Francisco
as cheaply as it sells that product
abroad" and adds, that the bill to re-
fund the tariff duty has therefore
put to sleep. With all due def
erence to this exclusive information
in the Post of the condescension and
concession Of the steel trust, it is a
safe bet that San Francisco will be
lucky If it can buy steel at the top
price here. Why, to sell steel in San
at the same price it is sold
abroad for, would defeat the Repub-
lican candidates for congress in every
doubtful district and put every stand
on the defensive. The Post
should know that the protectAnists
claim that trust products are not sold
cheaper abroad than here.
The demand for free alcohol, |
free cement and structural steel, free

Gulfport Lumber Shipments.

For the month ending May 81 Gulf.
port shipped "a per cent of the lumber
handled in the Pearl River District,
the territory between New Orleans and
Mobile. The total shipments for the
district were 56.O83, 900 feet, board
measure. OF this amount the port OF
Gulfport is credited with 30,557, 900 feet,
board measure. This is lumber actu-
ally loaded on vessels at the wharf, and
does not include a foot placed On board
vessels at other points, which were then
forced to go to Gulfport in order to Sc
cure a complete cargo.
Net registered tonnage of vessels
carrying cargoes in the export trade
for the month of Nav was 2,5O6, and
shipments 1860, 900. The coastwise
ships had a total tonnage of 1,247, a r
goes 1886, 900, the grand total being &c..
5 1000 feet.
In 1902 a total of 81 vessels cleared
from the pert, the shipments of lumber
amounting to 19,O45, 252 feet, value
s33S, O00. How the port has grown can
be seen from a glance, as the first five
months of 1906 saw shipped 12S, TAO, OOO
