to secede in 1861"
And it is well for Mr.. Roosevelt
that the question of secession has
been settled, for the course which he
has taken is a serious affront to one
of the sovereign commonwealth of the
American Union.
But there are other measures of
redress; and, unless he is able to sub
stantiate the charges in each minute
particular, he must reap the discom-
future which he has sown in his rash
ness.
Already smarting under the severest
language of rebuke which congress
has administered to an executive since
the days of Andrew Jackson, and feel
ing the castigation all the more acut-
ly because the legislative department
of the government is controlled and
dominated. by his own party, the presi-

Senator Tillman may have his

But even his worst enemies have

faithfully served the state of South
Carolina, and who has shown his UNI
hinching fidelity to duty in the pres

jackson, Jan. 13.-According to ad.
vices received here last night from
Pike county. citizens of the Darbun
neighborhood are not at all elated over
the announcement that a conference
of Latter Day Saints, better known
as Norman elders, is to be held in
that community on Sunday, January
II, and it is very likely that a quiet
warning will be issued to the Nor
mons that it will be advisable for them
to hold their gathering elsewhere.
So far as known, no open threats
of violence have been made, but citi-
zens of the Darbun neighborhood are
not pleased with the work of the
Mormon proselyters, and if the con-
ference is convened in that locality
1T may result in ttrouble.
Several years ago an attempt was
made by the Mormons to hold a
similar conference in the Mechanics
burg neighborhood, in Yazoo county,
and notice was served by citizens of
that locality for the elders to get out
of the community within ten minutes.
All of them including the presiding
officer, Elder Ben. E. Rich, left with

During the past year the Norman

were formed to erect Mormon tab
ernacle and mission church in the
western suburbs of Jackson, but it
was abandoned when property owners
in that locality advised the mission
aries that it would not be wise to do
so; that while they were not disposed
to resort to harsh treatment, the
erection of the church would not be
tolerated. and the Mormons conclud-
ed that, in this particular instance,
discretion would be the better part of
of valor, and the Mormon church in
Mississippi's capital still exists in
the imagination only.
According to reliable advices, not
less than fifty Mormon missionaries

THE TREND TOWARD TARIFF RE-
DUCTlON.

DOCTION.
At the risk Of offending the sensi-
bilities of the fairfield, trust protected
industries of Hattiesburg, The News
reproduces the following from the In
dianapolis Sun:
"Unobtrusively, and almost unob-
served accordingly, a revolution has
been going on within the Republican
party on the subject of the tariff. The
distance the popular thought has
travelled is disclosed in Mr.. Carnegie's
stand for free trade in steel products
and in Chairman Payne's declaration
for free lumber. Almost all that Grow
er Cleveland contended for in 1894
seems to be Republican doctrine now.
The first law of nature is self-preser-
walton, and it does not need very acute
discernment to see what will happen
when the Republican party, comes to
believe that high protection for giant
corporations has become a milestone
about it's neck. ~. -.-.-.....
