A CARD FROM MR.. C. M. WISE.

EulLOI EHLeIpIlSS.
In your issue of July 5th., there appeared
an article entitled "Amende Honorable"in which
reference is made to an alleged error of mine.
Any one reading the article would inter that
was the author of the resolution and that sign
ed the name of Mr.. Mosher to the same.
wish to state that did not then know nor
do now know who prepared the resolution, nor
who signed Mr.. Mosher's name to the same.
The facts are as follows: After council had
convened, Alderman Parrot handed me three
resolutions, the one in question being one OF the
number; when the resolution was read, stated
to the council that the resolution was by Alder
man Mosher, as his name appeared on the same
though Mr.. Mosher was not present. In the
conversation that passed between us over the
phone Tuesday morning, you wanted to know
whether or not Mr. Mosher was present at the
Council meeting, and l replied that he was not:
YOU then wanted to know whether or not that
was his resolution, and replied that it was,
basng this statement On the fact that his name
appeared on the face Of the same, but did net
state that Mr. Mosher had sent it in, as din i :
know who the author was, and conseq ~c@t'y
could not attribute it to Mr.. Mosher.
Had you desired to do what right in the
have consulted Mr. Mosher first and ascertained
all the facts possible before using you lambast-
err" then there would have been no occasion TO
have written ''Amende Honorable"
This July 7th 1906. c. M. WISE.
If the above card from Mr.. Wise had been
published ia connection with our last explana-
ton on the subject, this article would not be
necessary. Mr.. Wise's card ,verifes our state
ment that Mr.. Mosher's name was signed to
the resolution and that he told us over the
'phone the next morning that it was his reso-
luton, which would seem to be authority enough
for any reasonable man to base statement on.
With the signed resolution in my hand, and pos
tive statement of the clerk of the council that
it was Moshers resolution, was certainly reas-
enable authority for the statemen we made.
Mr.. Wise is the least bit petulant in his
card, but probably there is little harm in that.
We do not agree with him that the wording of
the article admits of the inference that he
was the author or signed Mr.. Mosher's
name to it. At least we intended no such infer
ence, and we will say here once for all that we
have never believed that Mr. Wise had any
thing to do with the resolution, except in his
official capacity as clerk of the council.
AS to Mr.. Wises suggestion that we might
have seen Mr.. Mosher, we will say that Mr..
Mosher was out of town when the forgery was
committed and when our card was written. The
strange part Of is that the forger has not been
located. He is the proper subject for the lam.

prosperity than the American peO-
pie in 1905, and the auspices for
1906 are still more favorable for a
continuance Of the blessings which
Providence has showered upon us
in this country. There is no sign Of
an ebb in the tide OF prosperity
which is universal in the land, and
the great forces which have con.
tributed to its mighty flow are work
ing with increasing intelligence aid
unison to promote the peace and
happiness Of the American people
in the coming year. The trade
reports show that heavy orders
have been given In almost every
line OF industrial activity, which
will keep the furnaces and factories
busy until far in the summer to
supply the demands Of this great,
busy nation. The only uncertain
factor In the problem Of the future
is the crops, and even they have
become so we'll regulated by the
improved methods Of modern agri.
cultural science that the dangers Of
failure have been reduced to a
minimMm. While other nations
are menaced with famine and dis
ease, or with social or economic
disturbances, peace and plenty are
everywhere visible in this happy
land. The only speck oftrouble on
the horizon is the prospect Of
strikes in some branches of labor,
and even they might be termed the
excrescences Of a toe abundant
prosperity, the outbreaks of too
much rich blood in the heart OF the
nation. No permanent harm or
serious disaster is likely to result
from any strikes to come, for the
lAmerican people, with all their
unwieldy numbers and proverbial
good nature, have learned to deal
with such matters in a pretty
prompt and decided fashion, and
to enforce law and order, together
with spirit Of justice and fair play
to all parties concerned.
1t is especially pleasant to note
thar the South still leads the van
OF growth and prosperity lin the
nation. The year 1905 was the
best in the history Of this section,
and it's tabulated facts and figures
show that Mississippi is growing
at a rate which, il maintained,
will double its population and
wealth alike every decade. While
this stupendoUs ratio cannot
reasonably be hoped for as the
scale of progress increases, get it
has been clearly demonstrated
that all the important factors are
here and actively at work to make
Mississippi one Of the greatest
commonwealth on this continent.
AS for the splendid domain OF
the South, the historian or prOph-
ct who attempts to depict it's in.
comparable advantages and itsI
still more magnificent possibilities
must shrink from his task with a
feeling OF depression and a sense
Of failuge, in virtue Of the great
less Of his theme and the impOs-
sibility Of doing it justice. Suffice
It to say that happiness broods
over this favored land as brood
ing dove npon its chosen nest.
