The acquittal of John w. knight
of Knight Yancey forged cotton
bills of lading fame, seems a clear
case of jury gone wrong. 1t is in
violent contrast with the trial of
the members of the forging Steel
Miller Company. While their con-
viction was generally hailed as
right and deserved, "Knight, on
his acquittal,' reads the press
dispatch, twas almost over
whelmed with congratulations. "
The wholesome effect of the con-
viction, the poor comfort it afforded
the victims of this method of
swindling, will crumble under the
evil force of the acquittal. knights
statement on the witness stand
that he drew bills of lading for fic-
titious cotton with the knowledge
and permission of the railroad Of

cotton later, YVES broadly denied.
But even if this were true, we can
see no ground for acquittal; such

PRAISE AND DLSPRALSE.

The leader of his forces in the
state was one, j. S. McNeilly,
editor of the Vicksburg Herald.
A man of rare ability, with a
large fund of information and fer
tile Imagination, who never lost
an opportunity to lie on and SLAM
der Governor Vardaman, Mr..
Percy's chief opponent.
The above excerpt from Varda-
mans signed editorial in last
weeks Issue must have given Mr.
McNeilly a shock. He might
well have suddenly asked himself
on reading the first half of Yard
aman's reference to him" what
have done to deserve this" and
suspiciously review his own re-
cent acts and writings to detect
some outrageous slip, some crime
or lapse from rectitude he had
been guilty of thus to gain praise
from Vardaman.
The completion of the sentence,
however, treasured him and re-
stored his self-confdence. 1t con-
WINGED MIN that he was still Nc
Nelly and Vardaman was Varda
man still. The senator-nominee
of Mississippi violated all his pre-
cedents in according to one op-
posed to him any talent or any
virtue, but he redeemed his slight
lapse into magnanimity by an op-
probrious insult in the same SEN
tence.
tits Mr.. McNeilly's good fortune,
won and deserved, to be high re-
moved from Vardaman's bitter
malice and the mean judgment of
those who form their opinion
from Vardaman's traduction. He
has in truth edited a great paper
with rare ability, a large fund
OF information and a fertile i'm
agination."
He has written much and his
writings show the instincts of a
gentleman and the taste of Gull
tured man as well as the ability
and learning of thorough
scholar. He has in truth the
large stock of information an
editor should possess and his in
formation is accurate and COM
prehensive. He has, too, the
imagination that enables one to
see things deeply and widely and
in their true relation. Vicksburg,
comparatively, is small city and

OF the nine two votes cast against
the Sherwood pension bill, eight
were contributed by the Missisip-
pi delegation, 1st district, Chand-
Ter, End, Stephens, 3rd, Humph-
reys, 4th, Sission, 9Th, Wither-
spoon, 9th, Harrison, 18th, Dick
son, Sth, Collier. All were pres
ent and all voted. While it re-
quires no courage for Southern
representative to vote against a
pension bill these negative votes
were none the less right and pa.
triotic. Casting his vote for the
bill on a matter of political ex-
pediency, one Southern congress-
man said: "No Republican Presi-
dent ever voted a pension bill.
None will ever do it. The only
one who did it was Grover Cleve-
land and we all know his fate
when the American people gather
ed at the ballot box in the follow
ing election after those pension We
toes" We are not so sure that
Mr.. Taft will not break into the
Cleveland class, if this bill reaches
him. We are sure that he will
have a far easier reckoning with
"the American people" if he does.
This bill is too plainly over play
ing the old soldier racket; it is
plus the one that came after Cleve-
land, which was the then claimed
limit. 1t "piles Pelion on Osa."

FIERCE FIGHTING
IN JUAREZ, MEX.
30 TO 60 DEAD, rs TO 100 WOUND.
ED AND CITY SHOT PIECES
RESULT OF DAYS FIGHT.
fifteen Wounded in EI Paso-Rebels
Forced Fighting, but Could Not
Capture the City.

Ell Paso, Texas.-From 80 to 90
lead, 70 to 100 wounded on the bat
tlefield and about Is struck by bull
let's in Ell Paso; a town shot TO pieces
and yet held by the federals; both
sides resting on their arms-these
are the net results of the fight at
Juarez Tuesday.
All day the battle ragged, the insur-
reetos swarming through the streets
of Juarez, meeting the heavy fire of
the fedeTals with an equally vigorous
yolley of musketry, artillery lent its
deep note to the inferno of sound
men on both sides fell and yielded
their lives; one commander grimly
determined to stand by his guns I'M
til he died and the other shouting
when an insurrecto shell struck home
or rebel sortie was apparently sue
cessful But the result of the strug
gle was drawn battle. The federals
hold six points of vantage, the bar
racks. the church, the theater, the
school house, hotel and the customs
house. The rebels control the river
front and declare that they will yet
take the city.
The strength of the federal posi-
ton is largely due to the fact that
the rebels are scattered If the reb-
els were lined up in battle formation
probably they could storm the federal
strengholds But the insuTectos
suspect and not without some degree
CT certainty, that a detachment Of
nearly 300 federals with a machine
gun Is concealed somewhere in town,
and they are hesitating TO move in
close formation for fear of rear Or
flank attack.
The rebels forced the fighting in the
face of the deadly fire of the federal
guns. They dared not gather in too
great number for an attack on the
federals. because the artillerymen of
General Navarro many times demon
strated the accuracy of their range
when they shelled adobe houses. be-
bind which insurrectos had sought
protection half a mile from Juarez.
W uiit ShuihiHS dlOlS lut river iloit.
General Navarro in said to have
mined most of the houses in Juare2.
and when he gets word of an insur-
reeto gathering it is believed he will
be able to infliet a terrible slaughter.
The town of Juarez looks as if a
hurricane had struck it. Wires are
suspended from jagged telegraph
poles and the streets are filled with
debris Signs and awnings are pune
tured with holes. Many a brick
building has hole in it, and few
adobe houses are without roofs.
Gen. Francesca |. Madero Jr, lead
err of the rebels. observed the progress
of the battle from a distance He
used pair of powerful field glasses
and not infrequently gave shouts OF
exultation at the advancing insur-
rectos.
