WHAT MEANS 1T

Peace hangs over Oyster Bay. Quiet
broods over Sycamore Hill. The First
Citizen whiIes away the dog days in idle
ness, slumber and silence. Adoring
multitudes of fellow citizens and sub
jects scan the press for tidings of his
deeds, but they scan in vain. They lis
ten eagerly for the detonations of his
speech, but their eagerness is squan-
dered. They look anxiously for an ex-
plosion, rage or thunderbolt, but
they might as well seek music in tur-
nip. Only the bees hum and the birds
twitter, and the hay dries, and the flow
ers smile, while the stately ships &c on
to their haven under the hill. The still
ness and the voicelessness are novel.
Such a state of affairs is not what peo-
pie accustomed to the spectacular are
trained to expect. Tae thing is weird,
bizarre, almost unbelievable. 1t pro-
vokes disappointment. 1t all but
smacks of petty oppression. What
means this? What means the cessation
of stunts and gyrations and thunder
ings? Wherefore the whyness of all
this intermission Because why this
overproduction of inactivity ? The Anne
rican people are entitled to amusement,
even in midsummer. The order Of
Ananias must grow, or it will diminish.
The Amalgamated Union of Nature Fa-
kris must gain new recruits or its ranks
will gradually thin until the entire
membership has perished from the land.

do something to bring the First Citizen
into action? Remember, the patriot
who does this will not only provide en-
tertainment for his countrymen, but he
will reap the reward of fame for him

GEN. LEE HAD NO SLAVES.

Col. John S. Mosby, the famous Con-
federate guerrilla and commander of the
Mosby Rangers, now special attorney in
the department of justice, is authority
for the statement that Gen. Robt. E.
Lee never owned slaves in contradiction
to the statement recently made at Rich
mond, Va, that Lee had freed his slaves
before the end of the war,
Col. Mosby declares that those slaves
had been the property of Mr.. Custis,
Lees father-in-law, who died in 1852,
and who provided in his will that his
slaves be manumitted. Mosby says Lee
was the executor.
stLee was at the front in 1868, and
there issued his order of manumission
in compliance with the provision OF the
Custis WILL" says Mosby, shut the war
had already freed them. AT the time
the order was issued the slaves were in
Father Abraham's bosom in Washing
ton. They were far freer than Lee."-

new SPECIES OF BLIND
TIGER AT new ORLEANS.
At These Tigers Watered Milk is Sold in GUAM
titiid Investigation is in Progress Milk
Inspectors are Experienced Men and Are Up
to All Tricks.

The New Orleans City Board of Health
has unearthed new species of "blind
tiger' which some people think they
are foxy enough to run in that city.
"Blind tigers" haye hardly ever been
heard of before in New Orleans but
every day Inspector Henry Dural makes
a confidential report to Health Officer
O'Rielly concerning them and from
what is already known of them it is
pretty certain that they are scattered
all over the city.
The worst thing that these places sell,
however, is watered milk. In many in
stances the Board of Health people do
not claim that they sell water along with
their milk but the mere fact that they
are selling milk, no matter how pure it
is, constitutes an offense in the eyes of
the law. When the dairy ordinances
went into effect everyone was prohibited
from selling milk produced by cows kept
within certain limits of the city. Any
one may keep a cow in the heart Of the
city, even, provided certain sanitary
regulations are followed, but the milk
must not be offered for sale or given
away. There are many people who
keep COWS for their own use, but while
they all claim that they are not selling
milk the milk inspectors of the Board
of Health know they are and therefore a
crusade is being directed against them
which must inevitably cause some OF
these lawbreakers to befined. The milk
inspectors are experienced men and are
up to all the tricks of the trade.
Just now the inspectors are keeping
close watch on three or four places in
the uptown districts, near the ryer,
where only one cow is kept in each
place. In one place milk has heen Of
fered for sale very openly and the in
spectors are bound to break up the prac-
tice.

AFTER TAKING.

ackson News, Saturday August 8.
The very last returns from the sen a.
torial race indicate that Congressm n
John Sharp Williams has been nomi-
mated by-a majority that will not go
much over thousand and will hardly
touch two thousand. 1t is such race
as Mississippi has not experienced in
many years, and, to be frank, it is a
great surprise to the supporters OF Mr..
Williams. From the information
which they had, and which they con-
sidered reliable, they believed Mr..
Williams would go in by at least
twenty thousand, but it appears that
the governor is nearly as strong in
the state as Mr.. Williams. While
Governor Vardaman is more than
likely defeated in his ambition to go
to the sehate, the vote on Thursday
shows that he is factor to be reck-
oned with in Mississippi politics in
the future.

State Revenue Agent Adams reports
that his department is working quietly,
but steadily, its Investigation into the
sixteenth section depreciation cases, but
that the Investigations are necessarily
slow and surrounded by numerous diff
culties. One of the chief obstacles to
progress is the difficulty of getting at
the information required through county
officers, as not all of them are willing or
anxious to give up the data that is re-
quired. However, as Mr.. Adams init
mates, the work may be slow, but they
will reach their men eventually, as they
generally do, and will recover large
sums of money due the State on account
of these sixteenth section funds.

BEFORE TAKING.
Jackson News, Friday, August 2,

Jackson News, Friday, August 2.
The picturesqueness of the Governor
and his apparent strength convinced
many people that he was like JEFF Davis
of Arkansas-inv His followers
were not so we'll informed as the Will
liams men and especially did they miss
it on the rural vote, which was more for
Williams than it was for Vardaman.
The result eliminated Vardaman from
the politics of the state; it DEGREES that
the negro is no longer an issue in Mis-
sissippi politics. The atmosphere is
CONSIDERABLY clarified and in the future
we will have less of hysteria in our poll-
tics and more issues in which the voters
and taxpayers are interested. Varda-
man staked his all on the election and
lost. He reached his high tide of
political strength yesterday. Divested
of patronage, he will not be a domi-
nant factor in Mississippi politics.

The esteemed Brookhaven Leader
seems unnecessarily concerned over a
boycott by a few of its advertisers, in
consequence of its support of Governor
Vardaman in the late Senatorial conte ST.
Since these would-be stiflers OF free
press have thus declared themselves as
supporters of the minority leader, it
does not reflect well ON the material that
supported Williams. The Leader, one
of the best, ablest and representative
weeklies of the State of Mississippi,
might retaliate by little boycott of its
own. It's poor saw that don't work
both ways.

LETTER OF HON. CHAS.
SCOTT IS REFRESHING.
His Letter After Defeat Is That of High
Minded Gentleman Support Hon. E. F.
Noel-Noel's Election Will Be Blow to Nc
Laurinism-The Issue Is: Noel and Scott
or Brewer and McLaurin.

1t is refreshing to read letter like
that of Hon. Charles Scott, accepting
with characteristic manliness his defeat
in the recent gubernatoria1 primaries In
Mississippi. The Commercial Appeal
has always had the very highest esteem
for Mr.. Scott, and we felt confident that
he would decline to inject any discord
into the political situation in his State,
and that he would do just what he has
done. His letter is that Of a high
minded gentleman, and it breathes an
air that is vitalizing in this day and
generation. Had Mr.. Scott been elected
governor, it was his purpose to serve
his State for the honor of it and without
remuneration. He would make great
governor of Mississippi or, indeed, auy
other State. He is man who unltes
brilliant intellectual gifts with rare
executive ability and marked personal
charm. A man among men, he would
make a governor among governors. II
will be observed that Mr.. Scott promptly
makes his choice between the two can
didates who will contest for the guber-
Material nomination in the second pri-
mary. He will support the Hon. Ed
ward Noel and will use his personal
interest to further the candidacy of that
gentleman. The McLaurin interest
promises to be the vital issue in the
coming primary. If Mr.. Brewer is
nominated, that interest will be sover-
eign of the ascendant in Mississippi. Il
Mr.. Noel is elected, a decisive blow will
be struck at its prestige, and Senator
McLaurin may, in the next election,
find himself confronted by some such
gladiator as James K. Vardaman, or an
intrepid swordsman like Charles Scott
The letter of the latter indicates thai
there will be fight to finish over thu
McLaurin issue; and so the second pri-
mary will be fraught with unusual in
terest.-Memphis Commercial Appeal
