Through the carelessness of the con-
tributor J. Knox Hall, in furnishing
supplies for the Home Circle De
partment, some articles have APP
peared twice therein. These repeat
ers got into type before we discover
ed the trouble and SO we just had to
let them run. We have written Mr.
Hall to be more careful hereafter in
gathering up his copy, that no such
similar mistakes may occur. It's
true that some of these articles are
good enough to be run twice and
even more than that, but Hall is
under contract to furnish us fresh
complement for each issue, and as
our readers have come to expect it,
we are going to do our level best to
present new section each time we
get out an edition.

An official who will stoop to use
his Office as a cudgel to hammer
those for whom he has conceived
dislikes or preiudicies, is unworthy
of the public trust and should either
reform his willful ways or resign.
The discharge of the functions of no
Office, should be permitted to operate
as clearinghouse for the grudge-
accounts of the incumbent If there
be any officer in Mississippi guilty of
this smallness or disposed to such
malignity, God grant that he may
speedily quit it or be kicked out Of

One of the most interesting develop ments of the situation was the large amount of purchases of securities in small lots for investment. Most of the large private banking houses which sell stocks and bonds have been keeping their clerical forces at work overtime in executing investment or ders and attending to transfers of title in the books of the corporations to which they are issued. This is a de- cisive mark in investment buying. It is estimated by good judges that there are 100000 more stockholders on the books of the railroad and industrial corporations than was the case a year ago. A single large firm reports sales of between s500.000 and s750.000 per day. Another firm states that wires from outlying places are crowded with small orders directing the transfer of securities to the names of new owners while still another firm declares there has not been a movement of the kind and such a volume of business for twenty years.
 Cables from Europe are not dis quieting. There is an absence of fail ures either financial or mercantile in New York of any importance except that of Urssler & Co, private bnak- ing firm. There were offers of call money at lower rates than during most of the time yesterday and there are other favorable symptoms in the situation. The Trust Company of America, received deposits of nearly s100.000 more than it paid out today. only 43S withdrawals were made dur inG the day.

Then came a stinging rejoinder like blow across the cheek. that brought BYington in rage to his feet: If your blood, MT. Byington, had only been a little redder when you were district attorney. you might have been indict- ed and convicted on the French res taurant scandals long ago"
 Byington, his own face crimson, jumped up and gripped the front of the pew: Il will say this. Mir Heney. that the blood which flows in my veins is as pure and honest as ever pulsated in yours; everybody who knows me from childhood knows it. You don't stand any higher in this community. you don't stand higher among those who have grown up from boyhood with you. then I do. l defy you: I defy the minions behind you, to put a finger on a dishonest act in all my career as public official or in my life as d private citizen l served the city seven years. You can't put a finger on anything I did that calls for repre- hension from the people of the town. You under oath swore to the truth of that before a grand jury; you swore to the grand jury that l had not done anything but my duty. and you know I never did
 '1 would like" interposed Judge Lawler. 10 dispose of the matters be- fore the court"

 Well. you brought it on yourself '' said Hene:.
 You arc not a little god that stands above the rest cc the world Ewing ton replied. We are as much inter ested in the welfare of California as you are. and I want everybody to know it''

Frank Heney and Counsel for the Defense
 Wrought Themselves Into Fury
An Exciting Incident Which Grew Out of Surprise Sprung by the Prosecution Near It's End of the Proceedings

San Francisco, Oct. Exchanges of too much red blood" and too little of it were flung in each others faces by Heney and Lewis F. Byington, counsel for the defense and stirred up in the Ford bribery trial today the bitterest court room row since the trial began.
 The prosecution was nearing the close of its case and spread consterna- tion in the forces of its opponents by suddenly calling to the stand Ford's assistant and co-defendant, William M. Abbott. Earl Rogers promptly ad- vised Abbott not to testify, which ad- vice he took. Then ensued a long and bitterly fought legal battle, Heney try ing with all his skill and power to persuade Judge Lawler to rule that the only ground on which Abbott could base his refusal was. claim that his testimony would tend to in criminate himself. Rogers and the two Moores, father and son, with At torneys Byington and King. asserted with equal force that as co-defendant with Ford, Abbott could not be lawful ly put on the stand by the prosecution.
 Finally. Heney declared that the only right any man has to prevent the exposure of a ring in court is a con- stitutional privilege that he is not bound to do so. and I want everybody in the court room and outside. to hear me; yes, in the whole United States"
 All right" the elder Moore inter rupted. throw up the windows
 Yes" Heney continued. pitching his voice to scream. and the whole English speaking, civilized world. You don't have to throw them up"
 You don't need to get red about it." remarked Byington.
 The remark so incensed Heney that his face became purple and he raised his clenched fist, yelling Yes. I do have to. get red over it. because I am 90 built that there is some red blood in my veins and when it comes to question. of justice and the protection or the common man against the crim- inal. the red blood does course through my veins; it appears in my face and r am glad of il. l am proud of it."
 The district attorney" said Ewing ton. the prosecuting officer. should always be calm"
 S The prosecuting officer" Heney re- torted. should have the ability to be- come indignant when people endeay- or to use the laws of their country to protect crime"
 Well. you have 1t; now let's get on." said Moore senior
 Yes, I have it. I thank God have it. cried Heney.
 Byington said, smiling. Well you haven't it all: there is little red blood in the world besides yours. You are not the only honest man"

A SUDDEN CHANGE
 IN MIR. TAFI'S PLANS
The Secretary is Wanted at Once in
 Germany on Important Business.

Manila. oct. 30.-As a result of vol luminous cable correspondence between Prsident Roosevelt and Secretary Taft it is understood that the latter will leave Manila on Nov. 2. in order to reach Berlin at the earliest possible date. It is impossible to communicate with the secretary at present, and of- ficials here are reticent regarding the change of plans. It Is understood that the secretary will leave on the flag ship Rainbow. Admiral Hemphill re- ceived d cablegram on Monday asking whether he could make the cruiser ready to sail by Saturday. He replied in the affirmative and he was inform ed unofficially that matter of the utmost importance was pending in Germany. and that Taft's presence there was necessary immediately.
 The nasty departure of Taft will cut short him stay in the Philippines week. Originally he intended to leave on Saturday but recently he all tered his plans so as to permit a longer stay. and clear up important business. -.
