THE STORY.

IT seemed like such a little thing
i and yet Daniel as he faced the
issue realized that it was the crisis of
his life. Should he or should he not
partake of the bounties from the
kings table?
Why, what else was there that he
could do? he asked himself. There
he was captive in the kings palace,
and there was the food provided for
him. If he ate not he would incur the
displeasure Of the prince under whom
the Hebrew captives had been placed
and perhaps endanger his life with the
king. And then, what was he to eat IL
he did not eat that which the king
had SO bountifully and so generously
provided:
That day he and others of the CAP
tive Hebrew princes had been brought
from their rude quarters, and were
told by the interpreter that hence
forth these sumptuous apartments
were for their use. Ever since their
arrival at Babylon under guard of the
soldiers they had been quartered in
rough building adjacent to the SOL
diers' quarters, and that day Ashpe-
naz, the prince of the kings eunuchs
had visited them and chosen certain
ef them and taken them to the palace,

Fierce Fight.

In free for all fight, covering des-
perate attempt to escape, at the Oakley
convict farm, Capt. Buckley, hospital
steward, received a sevon-inch cash
across the chest and Sergeant Dodds
had an arm broken.
The fight began in the hospital, ne
gro named Ben Cooper attacking an
other negro named Charles Prince with
razor. Capt. Buckley attempted to
cut his throat, and was only prevented
by Hezekiah Pluney knocking the
weapon down. Pluney then grappled
with Cooper and disarmed kim.
The attack on Prince was the signal
for general fight, in which eight or
other negroes took part, and when Ser
geant Dodds entered the room he was
set upon and badly beaten with clubs,
iron bars, ETC., sustaining broken arm.
When the other negroes saw Pluney
take the razor from Cooper they quieted
down and order was restored.
Pluney will be given q pardon for his
action in the emergency.

MORE FRAUDS AND GRATING.
Need of Thorough Reorganization Of
Departments.

those in charge of the government

carry out fraudulent work without the
connivance of their superiOrs, or II
they can those over them are en-.
tirely incompetent for the work they
are paid to do. The origination OF
these corrupt doings mostly had their
inception in the Mckinley administra-
ton, when the Democratic chiefs OF
bureaus and divisions were nearly
all removed to make place for Repub-
licans, who had aided Hanna and
Perry Heath and Senator Dick in de-
bauching the voters of the United
States in 1896. The Republican

the frauds have strong interests back

A long-standing family feud was
ended when Henry NJ. Hurst and John
L. Stewart met in the public road near
Magnolia and Hurst was killed. For
years there had been trouble between
the two men, the original differences
arising from trivial cause. When the
the two met, it is said Hurst turned his

INCOME AND INHERITANCE TAX.
Obstacles in the Way of Accomplish
ment Into Law.

If we are to have federal income
tax, it is evident that the income from
land will escape taxation under the
decision of the supreme court in 1898
In that case Mr.. ChOate's. argument
was SO adroit that the court reversed
| itself and decided that to tax the in
come from land was to tax the land
itself. Now an income tax that would
not apply to all the great landed pro-
prietors would hardly be fair and
just tax upon the income of others
who would have to pay it. There is no
more equitable tax than the tax upon
| incomes, if it is applied to all and
pay-that is, the greater the income
the higher rate of taxation.
President Roosevelt in his speech at
Harrisburg reiterated his opinion that
| incomes should be taxed and also that
great fortunes should be-if not con.
fiscated-at least greatly diminished
by an inheritance tax. AS it requires
an almost unanimous public sentiment
to amend the constitution, the income
tax looks like far-off proposition un.
less the incomes from land are allowed
to go free of taxation. How, therefore,
does President Roosevelt propose to
carry out his recommendations There
would seem to be but one way and that
is to so pack the supreme court that
it will reverse it's income tax decision.
There is good reason to believe that
the majority of one against the income
tax has already been changed by later
appointments and that the intention to
appoint Secretary Moody as one of the
justices will make a certain majority
in favor of an income tax, when such
a question is again up for decision.
There is big obstacle to carrying
out this change in the complexion of
the supreme court, for it requires "the
advice and consent of the senate" to
confirm justice of the supreme court
and there is lurking suspicion that
the Republican majority of the senate
is not in full accord with taxing in.

The Democratic plan is to so amend |
or enact laws that there will be no |

build up these enormous fortunes, |
while the Republican plan is to tax
the many for the benefit of the few |

RYAN Controls Commercial Congress

Ryan Controls Commercial Congress-
The members of the late session of
the Transmlssissippi Commercial con-
gress tried to show their political in
dependence by indorsing Secretary of
State Roots proposition, "for encour-
aging our merchant marine ald for
increasing our intercourse with South
America by adequate mail facilities" ("
and two resolutions presented by Mr..
Ryan. One, Gin favor of the submis-
sion of all international questions to
an impartial court for investigation
before a declaration of war;" and the
other declaring the congress as "op-
posed to private monopolies as indie
fensible and intolerable and favoring
the enforcement of existing laws and
the enactment of such new ones as
may be necessary to protect industry
from the menace offered by the
trusts"
The press reports of the congress
naively says: ''The introduction of
politics into the proceedings of the
congress was narrowly averted when
the report of the committee on resolu-
tions was submitted for action" AS
the committee had reported adversely
to Mr.. Ryan's resolutions and there
appears to have been a lively discus
sion before their adoption and the re-
sultIng victory for Mr.. Ryan, the es-
cape of the congress from a political

the capacity to write in such a way

Work-Horse Parades.

All lovers of horses should be great
ly interested in the movement very
recently started in several cities OF
this country by organizations known
as Work Horse Parade associations,
which have been formed for the pur-
pose of improving the condition OF
work horses. 1t is the object of the
associations, says the World To-Day,
to induce owners and drivers of work
horses to take more pride in the ap-
pearance of their animals, to foster
ment, and to arouse the interest OF
the public in the horses which they
see daily at work in the city streets
The associations endeavor to further
these ends by means of annual
parades, in which all work horses, ex-
cept hack and cab horses. may be en-
tered in competition for prizes. The
horses are classified according to the
business in which they are employed,
prizes being awarded for good hard
working condition, docile and gentle
manners, and for comfortable har-
Messing. Age counts in the horses
favor, not against him, and other
things being equal, to the elder horse
is awarded the prize. For many
years such parades have taken place
in London and Liverpool and other
large cities of England, where they
have aroused great popular interest
and have been a leading factor IN
creating a spirit of pride and emula-
ton in the owners and drivers OF
British horses, which has been of the
greatest benefit to the horses them
selves. Pride in the appearance OF
their horses has proved to be a strong
er incentive than a purely disinterest
ed regard for their welfare.
