Police Methods In india.

A jewel was lost by rich Komati
It was found in the possession of a
Mohammedan. Two policemen OF the
station seized 1t from him and pledged
1t and obtained g loan from a local
merchant. Then another policeman
was asked to search the house Of the
merchant, and before the search was
effected the merchant gave 1t to him
with a present as bribe not to haul
him up before the court. Between the
three policemen a sum of about 60
rupees ,-as looted from one or the
other of the dishonest and avaric!ous
merchants. Then arsse split among
these policemen and their comrades
about the division Of the spoils, and
they are now blinking as to what
aourse to adopt and whom to charge
and what pffense to charge with. The
people are losing all confidence In
these en.-Mysore Standard.

Gulfport Record Tribune.
| The board of oyster commissioner
held its annual election this morning
with every member present.
Hon. Richard Mendes, of Bay ST
Louis, was elected president in the place
of Duncan Minor, of Ocean Springs;
F. S. Hewes, jr., was reelected secre-
tary, and r. M. Mosley, of Biloxi, was
also reelected chief oyster inspector.
The list OF sub-inspectors will remain
unchanged.
With the morning session 0. T. Cas-
sibry ceases to be member of the eom-
mission, Gov. Noel having recently ap-
pointed Walter Gex, of Bay st. Louis,
to succeed him.
Mr.. Cassibry has made an excellent
member, and his retirement from the
board was the occasion of genuine re-
greet.
Mr.. Gex, his successor, is one of Bay
ST. Louis foremost citizens and pos
sesses every qualification for making a
good member.
OF the new president of the commits
sion nothing but good can be said, and
the Record Tribune predicts that he
will fill this office as he does every Office
entrusted to his care-as good as it is
possible to fill it.
The secretary, Mr.. Hewes, has made
himself so useful to the board of oyster
commissioners by reason of his appli-
cation to business and warm geniality
that that body would not look natural
without him. There is no man in Mis-
sissippi who could fill the Office of Sec
retary more acceptably than Mr.. Hewes,
and we congratulate the board upon his
retention.
Inspector Mosley y's-re-elect will be
received with favor by all who take an
interest in the oyster industry. His
work as inspector is absve repFoach,
and the commission is showing good
judgment by continuing him in Office.
The commission will meet again in
a few days to approve the bonds OF the
newly elected officers.
After the morning session the board
repaired to Pierce's restaurant, where
an elaborate dinner (only such as Pierce
can prepare) was served.

SHOWS HOW BRYAN

Walter Weflman, the foremost poll
tical news writer of his time III am
erica, sends a forecast of the Bfy'
an-Taft election to the Chicago Ike
cord Herald According to his figures
Bryan has a chance to win. He
says:
.It is curious coincidence that
Taft and Bryan start upon an almost
equal footing SO far as the absolute

it is an interesting coincidence that

the IL months were $3,O55, 100000, be-
ing decrease of nearly $300,000,G00
from the record of the former fiscal
year, but the decrease was almost en-
tirely in imports. The decrease in
exports from the former year was but
500 100000.
Analysis shows that the depression
existing throughout the country serv-
ed to slightly increase the export of
manufactured products, while the ex-
ports of foodstuffs were unusually
large. But this same influence of
commercial depression worked quick
ly and effectively in reducing impor-
tations, with the net result of leaving
to the credit of the country the larg-
est balance of exports ever recorded
Only once before has such balance
above S666,000,000 been closely
approached, and that was in 1901,
when the balance was $664,000,00O.
