Still RtMEMBhREp, BUf-

The Maine is still remembered, but
it isn't remembered as bitterly as it
was. The fact is, there is a quietly
growing doubt that it was blown up
by wicked and conspiring Spaniards.
The accident on the Georgia has called
new attention to the Maine disaster. 1t
is remembered that Professor Alger,
powder expert of the navy, announced
with a great flourish day or so after
the news was received, that it was I'M
doubtedly due to spontaneous conlbus-
ton in one Of the magazines. The
board of inquiry reported that the
Maine was blown up by contact with a
submarine mine, and the fact that the
bottom plates were turned inward
seemed to support this theory. The
confidence in this opinion has been
shaken, however, by the repeated ex-
plosions of powder on warships since
that time. The authorities have been
able to furnish explanations for these
accidents, and, while they have not
been convincing to everybody, they
have been accepted generally as cor
rect But the fact is that there are
certain mysterious characteristics as
ISOLATED with smokeless powder which
inspire dread in those who manufac-
ture and handle it. Queer chemical
changes are constantly taking place
that alter its original qualities and
impart new properties. A few years
ago the entire stock of smol1eless pow
der owned by the army was rendered
too dangerous to be kept by reason of
chemical changes. 1t took on tremend-
Gus strength, an eight-inch gun being
blown to atoms and the registering
gauge breaking after passing the max
imum mark.
And SO forth and SO on. If the Maine
disaster was an accident it may never
clearly appear that it was But it IL
already clear that smokeless powder
is queer stuff

SPECIAL GOVERNMENT.

The protest which has been lodged
against government IN the State of
Connecticut by special commission
finds its parallel in protest soon to be
Forthcoming against Federal govern
ment by special employees, special
agents and special investigators. AS
the error in Connecticut of relieving
the General Assembly of tasks set it
by the founders of our government and
passing them on to State commissions
with the State treasury to draw upon
is being realized, so a like error on the
part Of the Federal administration is
being realized.
The number of special representa-
tives acting for the Federal govern
ment has increased from few scores
to many hundreds and the cost has run
lup from thousands to millions. There
! is a disposition among members of
congress to inquire how many are thus
employed, who employed them, what
1.-THE annual cost is and what authority
exists for the investment? An at
tempt will be made at the next session
of congress to have these inquiries an
swerad but it is not likely that the
ANSWERS will be recorded until after a
new President has been elected, No
congress, whether representing one
party or the other in power, will ever
deliberately undertake an investiga~
ton of this character on the eve Of a
national election. 1t would be strange
from the point Of view Of practical
politics if it should. All that can be
expected is the passage of a resolution
making it the business Of a Legislature
to be created in the future.
1t would be interesting if the Inn
pending cry in the state of Connecticut
of back to the constitution and to
constitutional ways should be followed
by the cry in the country of back to
the constitution and to constitutional
ways. The more intelligent people
study the trend Of things which Is
away from representative processes
the more apprehensive they grow witt
regard to democratic institutions.

Pleasing PROGRESS.

Government clerks, who have been
well provided for in the way of easy
work, short hours and good pay, are
going to be still better provided for
by fund to which they and the gov
eminent vii contribute and which will
enable them to die at home If they are
not travelling when death overtakes
them. This is encouraging. It will also
be encouraging when all the faithful
workers of this country are made Sc

age and weakness. Progress is being
made in England toward such an ar

A TENN. SSTE MIXTURE.

Judge Jones Of Dresden, Tennessee,
Is more famous than he was, He sat
on the bench III a divorce case and sat
on the husband concerned In it to the
extent Of granting the wife an absolute
divorce She was much pleased, so
much pleased that just as soon as she
got her divorce she got
marriage license and before the
sun had hadda chance to set on her as
a divorced woman she became a mar
ried woman. Judge Jones heard of
this rapid transit from woe to happl-
ness and 1t didn't suit him. He
thought woman who had suffered as
the divorced one testified she had
should have stayed divorced a little
while anyway. So he set aside the de-
cree of absolute divorce he had made
in her case, and substituted for 1t
decree of limited divorce. He defend
ed his action on the ground that until
adjournment for the term a divorce is
within the bosom of the Court" and
that public morals demanded his
action,
Quite interesting, isn't it? Whether
or not 1t is quite legal will appear later.
The woman in the case must feel that
the Judge is a mean old thing, and
that, having opened the door to hap
piness for her by giving her an abso-
Lutte divorce he has no right to try to
close it by trying to give her a limited
divorce. She would probably be will
ing to admit that she was in hurry
but she would not he willing to admit
that she hadn't right to be in a hur-
ry. Wasn't the new marriage what
she got her divorce for?

there have been no more loyal South

DoN,r ABOLISH THEM All.

I The Earl of Euston, now travelling in
this country thinks he knows how war
can be abolished. The Earl says the
way to abolish war Is to abolish uni
forms. He argues that for countless
centuries the horrors Of war have
been cloaked in purple and scarlet, in
splendid armor and shining uniforms.
"Let the weak races whose continued
existence offends the moral sense of
the strong, be swept away. Let uni
forms be abolished and fresh peace
conference decide, that pajamas and
skull caps are to be the costumes of
all grades Of soldiery, and within a
generation war will be as scarce as
snow in August"
Of course If the abolition Of uniforms
will abolish war we all ought to be
willing to see them abolished, But a
sad thought arises. If all uniforms
are abolished there can be NJ
more such pageants as the pep
pie Of the States are treated tc
when the Governors staff comes out
Perhaps the Earl of Euston would
compromise, and allow the uniforms of
the governors STATS to continue. We
don't suppose he would favor the aboli
ton Of the beautiful plumage of the
peacock, or even its strut. He might
even ask, What have the uniforms Of
governors stats 10 do with war?

jackson, Miss, July 81. The
Vardaman State Campaign Com
mlttee, Hon. G. M. Williamson,
chairman, and Garrad Harris,
secretary, issued from the com
mittee headquarters today the
following address to the white
people of Mississippi:
THE LAST WORD!
Tothe White People of Missis-
sippi:
As the Senatorial campaign
draws to close, the dust
and smoke which has been raised
over mere side issues or person
alities to becloud the public Wis
ion, has cleared away and the true
issue, the negro problem in pol
itics, the repeal of the Fifteenth
Amendment to the Constitution of
ths United States, represented
by the candidacy of James K.
Vardaman, looms up as the one of
paramount, overshadowing impor-
tance to the white people Of Mis-
sissippi.
The interested utterances of the
Northern as we'll as Southern
press: the denunciations of negro
leaders of the North who are
clamoring for greater social and
political recognition: and the ex-
pressions from negro editors and
leaders here in Mississippi, all
testify to the wide interest felt in
the Mississippi Senatorial cam
paign and its deep significence
to the whole country.
The Fifteenth Amendment,
which guarantees to the negro
the same right to vote and hold
public Office in the United States
as the white man, was IN the ma
ture of a political crime, perpe-
trated upon Mississippi when she
was PROSTATE and helpless. 1t
has never met the honest sanction
of her white citizens and never
will. It was accepted under pro-
test in the shadow Of Federal bay
onets, the alternative being read
mission to the Union under these
hard conditions, or remaining in
definitely a military province,
governed by Federal despots and
negro hIrelings, backed by the
