TRYING HIM OUT.

When John S. Shriver, secretary
of the Gridiron Club, and for years
well-known Washington cores
pondent, began newspaper work in
Baltimore, his mother, agast at the
thought of the boy being out late
at night, sent the family carriage
around to the Office every evening,
and Shriver drove to his assign
nents.
This was easy for the city
editor. Every time he had long
trip for a reporter, he sent Shriver.
One night Shriver had been to a
labor netting and had made cop
ious notes. He was preparing to
write his story when word came in
that there was another labor meet
ing in another part of the city that
needed covering.
The city editor sent Shriver,
who drove up to the hall in the
carriage. He went in and was inn
nediately seized by the men and
called spy.
III no spy protested Shriver;

How does it come you are rid
ing in a carriage? We never saw
reporter i'll carriage in this town
before
It's my carriage, and it's all
right. I'm a reporter, asserted
Shriver.

man of the meeting, if you are a
reporter, what have you been re-
porting to-night2'

That half convinced the labor men.
but, to make sure, they placed
Shriver at table, forced him to sit
there until three o'clock i'll the
morning and take down everything
that was said.
Now, sonny" said the chair
man, as the meeting broke up, if
ali that amt in the paper, you will
get what IS coming to you.
Of course, it was too late then
to get anything i'll the paper, and
Shriver kept out of sight for a
week, for the labor men were
around early next day TO find that
dude who said he was a reporter,
and him riding around i'll a car

MONEY IN THE BANK.

We made some observations yes
tefday concerning the efforts OF
Wall street to borrow money from
! the country bankers. Another
matter il the same connection,
which is worthy of attention, is
found in the statement that OH
July 1st., one savings band in New
York had or deposit, one hundred
million dollars worth of savings.
This is a vc~y large sum to be ac-
cumulated i one bank, and there
are many OF .er banks of the same
sort, no O.. y i'll New York, but in
every c,,y n the Union, and every
enc atiy iyhese banks, almost without
al exception, report the same sort
o. con 1sioa, and yet we are told
tat tie RS roads and the big trusts
must lot1og money wherever they
can &c It, nd pay a high rate of
interess.
Att OF this seems to us to be
equivalent to saying that the trusts
methods Of finance are SO unwise
and so unsafe that conservative
men who are handling saving
funds-are rot willing to lend on the
securities which these trusts, can
offer.
So Ions as the railroads carried
the KEY to he safe in the insurance
Office. there was no trouble about
watering ny sort of railroad stock
that could be had, or, for that mat
ter. airy other sort of stock. but
when through the medium of re-
cent exposures, time lock was put
on the insurance Office safes, all
this ended, and the watefed sroek
concerns found that they had over
capitalized to such all extent, that
borrowing even the amount needed
for immediate and legitimate needs
was serious problem.a

a wall goes up from the. cotton
fields in almost every county of the
state. The cotton has made about
the same growth that it would have
attained at the beginning of July
had the season been normal; that is
to say it is month or more behind
hand and yet the plant has been
so hardened and matured by drouth
and extreme heat that its growth
is practically compile. In Nlany
places it has already ceased to pro-
dlice bolls, and everywhere is pit
fully small. The report OF pess-
t,nistic Texan, who says grass
hopper can sit on the ground and
look over the top of the cotton is
of course a figure of speech, but it
expresses the situation pictures
ourely and fornibly. In the Yazoo-
Mississippi Delta, where it is usual
for cotton to grow to a height of
six-eight or ten feet, and produce
a bale or more to the acre, the con-
di,ion is not much better. Plan

SEE THE COMET.

The comet about which the as
tronomers and star gazers general :
ly have been talking so much for
the past ten days or so is quite
plainly visible IN Hattisburg these
nights, and a limited and select
few of the early risers have the
privilege of gazing upon it i'll all
its glory. ~
1t is one Of the most distinct
comets that have appeared in the
sky during the past quarter of a
century, and as a curiesitysis well
worth the price of looking upon it.
The comet is visible any time
after $50 in the morning until the
approach Ct the sun lightens TIP
the eastern sky and obscures the
light of the stars, moon and comet.
The position if the comet is down
near the horison, little north of
east. It is just passing out of the
constellation Orion, and is travel
ing away from that beautiful of the
star groups known as Orion's belt
The reason why it is visible for
shch short time each smorning is
that it does not get above the hor-
ison till the time stated and i'll
short time to become daylight, so
that while the comet remains i'll the
,skyssall right it is invisible as are
the stars.
The indications now that the
comet will be visible only for att
other week or SO. It's path is
around the sun, and at the preset
time it is approaching the sun, At
the rate of it's travels it will. in
about week, be so near the sun
that it will not be discernable in
the glare of the solar luminary. 1t
is not improbable that after it pas
ses the sun and stars Oh its journey
back into unknown space whence
it came it will be visible again for
a short time.
The comet is perfect specimen
of it's kind. It is supplied with
the characteristic tail tlaring off
from what appears to be very
bright star. This morning the
comet was seen under conditions
of no littlesinterest to those who
study such matters. The tail of
the comet was passing over star.
While the star was supposed to be
thus obscured by the neubulous
visitor it was just as distinctly Wis
ible as before, which phenomon has
been observed in the case Of pre-
vious, comets and is taken by the
scientists to prove the thin, airy
quality of the substance of which
the comets tail is composed.

A DISCREP ANCY

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 16.--Sec-
etary Power has been making a
careful canvass of the official re-
turns over to him by the State
Executive Committee recently, and
has patiently and laboriously tabu-
lated the returns, checking over
each county and each precinct,
vote is given, with greatest care in
order to get the exact figures. Of
course the figures promulgated by
the committee will stand as the
official figures bur for all that Sec
retary Power has discovered sew
eral errors in the vote for governor
and other officers also.
The returns as made up by Mf.
Power, show some curious results.
Por example they were, according
to the returns, 1852 more votes
cast for governor than for
for United States senator. This
is hard to explain in view OF
the fact that there was largely more
interest in the race for senator, and
the betting was almost exclusively
made on the senatorial race.
While there werc more candidates
for governor this very fact deefeas-
ed the interest to some extent, be
cause there was 10 possibility Of a
nomination for governor ard the
senate race was 70 be decided once
for ali in fist primary. Hence
manv voters went to the polls to
vote for the senator whereas they
might not have gone at all to vote
for governor.
The total vote as cast for gcv-
ernor lacked four votes only OF
being even 10000. This is prac-
tically $4,000 more votes than were
polled in the first primary last time
This fact is regretted because it
indicates that the primary law has
been shamefully abused in many
sections by admittin.s persons to
vote who were disqualified. 1t IS
known that the total qualified de-
mocratic vote of the state will tall
many thousand votes short OF TINS
FIGURE. Indeed had the vote stop
ped at l15, 900. it would have been
considered in excess of the legally
qualified list. The vote as com
puted by Mr.. Power for governor
is 121, 1896, and for senator 1875
The figures also show that there
were Ia, 600 more votes cast lo1
lieutenant goverdor, while tor att
ditor, treasurer, insurance comnlis-
/ sioner, etc. = there were from ter
to thirteen thousand less votes poll
ed than for governor.
The exact figures for governor
as complied by Mr.. Power, correct
ing errors that we're overlooked Dy
the Executive Committee, show
that Noel has lead over brewer
of IL, and that Brewers vote
exceeds SCOTS by only 1,O12.

Then it will take but short time for
the good people of Garfield to compel

1t is somewhat surprising in this con
uecticn that no serious crimes, such as
robbery and murder, have been commit

narily a person would think that a

thrive unless they captured an occa-
sional victim and stripped him of his
personal possessions, or held him for
ransom. But no such occurrence has

PRESIDENT AND GOVERNOR

Through chain of circumstances
over which neither side had control,
an impression prevailed for year or
at the White House that the Rcpubli
can party in Colorado was not in har
mony with the national administration.
Meddlers us well as busybodies from
other parties carried tales to Washing
ton. \ United States states senator,
who has since been relcgated, posing as
"not Democrat, not Republican, but
lust Independents, ~ worked harm in the
direction named. In recent times, how
ever, the atmosphere has changed.
Governor Buchtel has been largely re
sponsibIe. He has taken such deci-
sive, open hearted stand on every mat
ter that has been before the state that
the nation has come to look this way.
That characteristic letter from the
president to Colorado's executive,
which was published yesterday, is an
evidence that the White House and
the state capitol are close together, as
they should be. Governor Buchtel by
nature is of the Roosevelt mold. He
has the same direct manner of getting
it in brief time. Although not cont
mon politician under the common ac-
ceptation, Colorado's executive, like
the nation s head, beats the profession
al at his own game. He plays in the
open.
Colorado is sincerely for Roosevelt.
The Republican party will stand by
him as long as there is hope of the
president being prevailed upon to ac-
cept another term. And Colorado Re
publicans are heart and soul with
Buchtel in his good work. They know
that he cannot be bossed and they love
him, as they love Roosevelt, for the
enemies he has made.-Denver Repub-
lican.
