Thinks Impeachment Talk Should Cease.

Daily Clarion-Lcdg Jackson.
Some of the rank papers of the
State, not satisfied with cleaning of
the platter at tho last primary eec
tor, are now demanding the i'm
parchment of Governor Noel for at
tempting to defeat Vardaman before
the last Legislature But the Greene
county Herald, editor by q Varda-
man man, and one of the most sehsi-
BILE and reasonable in the State, dep
recates any such move, saying that
the "Vardaman forces can afford to
be generous and dismiss such pro
posed proceedings with the mere
threat. Mississippi has had enough
of spite work about its State Capt.
tai for awhile. and lets relcgate small
politics to the rear and get down to
solid business, furthcring the great
er interests of the Seate
Some of the Vardanan papers do
not agree with the Herald, and in
sist that the Legislature should i'm
peach Governor Noel. They had
better turn TO the SCatc constitution
and see on what grounds articles of
impeachment can be drawn for
treason, bribery, on any high crime
or m,sdemeanor in office.
Who for d moment believes the
Governor guilty Of any of the above
named crimes? Is there man in
the State, honest with himself, who
believes Governor Noel guilty of
treason, bribery, or high crimes or
misdemeanor?"
All this talk about attempting, for
it could only be an attempt, to i'm
peach Governor Noel is rank non
sense, ana the sooner abandoned The
better it will be for all concerned.

If John Sharp Williams thought it
would be such calamity to send
Vardaman to the Senate as he stated
just prior to the Primaries, then he
is certainly not the fit man to intro
duce Vardaman to the Senate, the
perfunctory custom to the contrary,
Notwithstanding, for it would put
John before the Senate in the foolish
attitude of saying to the cid Romans
of the Senate chamber, II present
you man sent up here by my fool
ish people as my colleague, whom |
thoroughly agree with those of you
of that persuasion, as being a ridicl-
lous figure to sit in this dignitied
body The Herald would suggest
that Vardaman and Williams discard
''e"sonal dislikes engendered BY state
political struSe'les and to"ch should
erS in attending to business at Wash
ington in the interests of their state,
section and the party to which they
owe allegiance, but we don't take
kindly to the idea of having Varda-
man appear for his first time in the
body from which we expect to hear
much from him in the future under
the sponsorship of Jawn Sharp, who
has done much to deprecate Jas. X.
at home and abroad.

Turn From Politics, The Dope Now.

Greenwood Commonwealth
To the qualification, as we'll as the
ediication, of the reading public, the
newspapers of the State, without re
gard to factional learning, are put
ting the recent election behind them,
and it is pleasant to note that the
bitterness Of the Vardaman journals,
and the aggressiveness Of those
which oppose him, are things of the
past.
This is as it should be. 1t is ali
right to stand up and fight for your
favorites as long as they are in the
field, but it is part of wisdom, and
the course that should be pursued by
all sensible men and true Democrats,
to stop fighting after a canvass is ov-
er, and undertake to pour oil on the
troubled waters, that the State may
get back to normal conditions.

Is The Sunday Paper Helpful or HuTtful.

A Selection.
The Sunday paper is one of the
most efficient agencies in the king
dom of darkness. such statement
will seem surprising to many we'll
inclined men and women. They
read it and 90 to church -some OF
them. The Sunday paper is not
wholly Objectionable as to its
contents; much of it is excellent. 1t
is no worse thah the average paper
except as to size and the childishnts
of some of its colored Illustrations.
The grave objection to it is that it
pre-empts sacred time time solemn
ly devoted by the Most High to spirit
ual purpose, time set apart by the
Creator for the higher interests OF
the soul. 1t provides work on the
Sabbath for trainmen, distributor.
and sellers. 1t invades the quiet
and repose of the day with the shout
cf newsboy and glarng pictures. It
pours a flood of secular matter, bust
ness politics, sport and social gossip
into the Sabbath day.
1t supplants the sanctuary it un-
fits for worship the mind Of him who
reads and goes TO the house of God.
1t deadens the message Of eternal life
1t is read by millions in our land eve
ny Sabbath morning. 1t neutralizes,
in no inconsidera bic degree, the work
of the church OF Christ. 1t is mos,
pernicious foe of the Kingdom. II
bears the brand Of Satan. Every child
of God should feel it to be his duty
to refrain from supporting the Sun
day press, from buying 1t, readingit
and from advertising in it. Pulpit
and church court should speak out
more firmly and distinctly. The
The church must take more decisive
steps. Along with the saloon and
other evil institutions, the Sunday
press is doomed to ultimate over
throw.

Pascagoula Democrats
1t appears that the incoming iegis-
lature will take some action relative
to the county attorneyships so freely
created by the last legislature and
used, according to political gossip,
principally to defeat Major Varda
man in the secret caucus. Many
plans have been suggested looking
to the abolishing of these Offices, but
even in that case the attorneys re-
Gently nominated by the party will
not, or should not, be disturbed in
their term of service. Whatever
legislation may be attempted or
adopted will probably become effect
i've at the end of the terms of the in
coming attorneys. Such should be
the case, at least, in common fairness
and Justice.

Beautiful Thoughts.

The Countess Irna is one of the
characters in a German novel enti-
tied ION the Heights. In her jour
nal are iound the following beauti-
fully expressed sentiments:
Modern culture cannot take the
place of religion; religion makes all
men equal, culture unequal. There
must however, some day, be q sys-
tenn OF culture which will make all
men equal; then only will it be the
right or the true. We are only yet
at the beginning,
so long as we can say father or
mother" there is a love on the
earth which bears one up IN its arms
1t is only when the parents are dead
that we are set down on the hard
ground.
we only see all the good nests
when the trees are bare, and there
is nothing more in them"
Every man, wherever he may be,
is standing, unforeboded, on a
height from which he does not see
the signs of mortality. If one always
saw them there would DE no more
work in the world-no more song.n
The most mysterious, dreamy
thoughts are like bird on a twig;
he sings, bat if he sees an eye watch
ing him he flies away. y
A man who allows himself to al
ter his sentiments, and permits the
hunger CT his character to be chang
ed, is conquered by the world, and
exists no longer as himself.

Hints For Wives.

Perchance you think that your
husbands disposition is much chan
ged; that he Is no longer the sweet
tempered, ardent lover he used to
be. This may be a mistake. Con
slider his struggle with the world
his everlasting race with the busy
competition of trade. What is it
that makes him SO eager in the pur-
suit OF galn-so energetic by day, so
sleepless by night-but his love of
home, wife and children, and dread
that their responsibility, according
to the light III which he has conceiv-
ed 1t, may be encroached upon by the
strife of existence. This is the true
secret of that silent care which prey
upon the hearts of many men; and
true it is, that. when love is least APP
parent, it is nevertheless the active
principle which animates the heart,
though fears and disappointments
makes up u cloud which closures the
warmer element. AS above the
clouds there is a glorious sunshine
while below are showers and gloom,
SO with the conduct of behind
the gloom of alXlety there is {,
bright fountain of high and noble
feeling. Thinking of this in those
moments when clouds seem to lower
upon your domestic peace and by
tempering your conduct accordingly,
the gloom will soon pass away and
warmth and brightness takes it's
place.

Tradesmens' Cards.


Idle moments are the openings
through which the temper finds
readiest entrance with the citadels
Of the soul.
If a man be gracious to strangers
it shows that he is citizen of the
world, and that his heart is no island
cut off from other lands, but con
tinent that joins them,
Nothing is more penuriousness,
nothing more anxious than careless
less, and every duty which is hidden
to wait returns with seven fresh du-
ties at It's back.
Today is king IN disguise. Today
always looks mean to be the thought
less, in the face of uniform expert
ence that all good and great anC
happy actions are made up precisely
of these blanks today

Bright Prospects For Democratic Success

Meridian Star.
There is no question but that the
caders of the democratic party in
the present house OF representatives
have made splendid impression up
on the people of the entire country
and that the chances for democratic
success in the congressional election
to be held next year have been great
Iy increased by the showing thus far
made by the present democratic
house of representatives,
Another factor for success in the
next congressional campaign lies in
the new reapportionment bill recent
ly passed by the congress and signed
by the president, giving a larger
membership in the lower branch of
the national legislature.

The Herald notes with approva
that right here in the home county
we have men exempifying the tri-
umphs of the American form of gov
eminent, i. e., the rule of the MAJOR
ity. 1t will be observed that the
boys who went down in defeat are
publishing Cards of Thanks as well
as TIE victors, and reflected from
these cards is the spirit of accept
bility, which is the best insurance
these United States of America have
for their perpetuity, The man who
bows to the will of the majority is
not beaten after all, for he conquers
himself in doing so and that is bet
ter than conquering a fenced city,
