Great preparations are being made for
a celebration in memory of Horace
Greeley. to be held at Chappaqua, N. Y.
Feb. 3, the centennial of his birth. Hor-
ace Greeley was one of the most re-
markabie figures in the past century of
our history. Born a poor boy in New
Hampshire, with the slenderest oppor-
tunities for education, he attained a Ma
tion-wide celebrity as the editor of the
New York Tribune, and the vigorous ex-
ponent of ideas which were then color
Wing, he supported with unusual eff
fectiveness the principles OF that party
as to sound money, internal improve
ments, a protective tariff and a real ma
tionality. AS the slavery question loom
ed up he took equally strong sides
against the expansion of the peculiar
institution" and was regarded as a fore
most journalistic champion of Free
Soil-that is, the restriction of slavery
to the States where it had been estab-
!ished, and the prohibition of it in terri
tory naturally free. He cried aloud for
a vigorous prosecution of the war, but
his erratic course was a great annoy
ance to President Lincoln This led him
to signing the bail bond of jeff Davis
and accepting the nomination for the
Presidency on the Liberal Republican
ticket, which was made up of a COM
of all the enemies of Repub-
licanism. He had miscalculated his pop
ularity and the strength of his name,
and the disfavor with which his can
didacy was received broke his heart, and
he died. He is entitled to the gratitude
Of the people of the great West for his
vigorous advocacy of the homestead law
and his urgency upon the young men
to go West and develop the country.

The Chattanooga Times begins a
vicious assault upon the Sulloway bill
with the weil-worn hypocritical cant:
This last measure is so offensive to
ordinary decency and justice and so dis
graces the name of soldier that we won
der the Grand Army of the Republic
would stand for it. Nobody begrudges
the worthy soldier his pension, but in
justice and decency, the squandering of
the peoples money on undeservers and
in paying bounties to men who were
never even in action ought 20 be
stopped by an outraged sentiment for
the honor and glory of the country's
real defenders"
What a refreshment it would be to
have some one just once, start out with
the frank admission of a song once
popular down South:
am a good old rebel,
Now that's just what I am;
And for this glorious Union,
1 do not care a -.
I hate the snivelling blue bellies,
1 hate the Flag they bore;
know l killed thousand Yankees,
1 wish I'd killed some more.

MIR. LONGING To
SPEAK TONIGHT
Ex-Governor viii Address Voters At
The Court House-AIi Cor
daily Invited.

Hon. A. II. Longino, Ex-Governor of
Mississippi, will address the voters of
liattiesburg and Forrest county at the
court house tonight on the political
issues of the day. The speaking will
begin at 500 o'clock. Everybody
is cordially invited to be present and
special invitation is extended the
ladies'.
Gov. Longing has many friends
throughout this section who will be
glad of an opportunity to hear him
again as he has a reputation as an
orator second to none in the state.
For four years, from 1900 to 1904. he
safely and honorably piloted the ship
of state, making an enviable record
as governor. 1t was during his ad-
ministration that the magnificent State
Capitol was erected, any many other
evidences of his business-like admin
istration stand to his credit. Missis-
sippi was never more prosperous than
during Gov. Longino's tenure of office
and those four years were marked by
good feeling and political quiet.
1t is eight years since Gov. Longino
has been heard on the stump, having
retired to private life at the expira-
tion of his term of office to devote his
time to his law practice and farming
interests, and comes now to deliver a
message to the people which he deems
of vital Importance.

REDUCES RAW WOOL IS Per CENT
Some Doubt As To How The House
Will Receive the Compromise Bill
Regular Republicans of Senate FL
narce Committee Refuse to Serve
On Conference Committee.
by Associated Press.)

Washington, July PA compro-
mise wool tariff bill was offered by
Senator Lafollette, of Wisconsin, to
day. A modification Of both his own
and the House bill was passed by the
Senate by majority of forty-eight to
thirty-two votes through the union of
the Democrats and Republican insur-
gents. Upon this middle ground the
Democrats, having secured a record
vote on the original Underwood bill,
Joined the Republican insurgent
forces. The measure adopted reduces
the raw wool duty to thirty-five per
cent advalorem and cerrespondingly
reduces the duties on woolen articles
There is some doubt as to what
course the House Democrats will pur-
sue with regard to the compromise
bill. House Leader Underwood sew
eral days ago served notice that the
House would not accept the original
LafoliettS bill. Although President
Taft has made no definite utterance to
that effect, 1t has been strongly init
mated at the WHITE House he might
feel called upon to veto wool tar1r
bill passed in advance Of the report
on that schedule from the tariff board.
The regular Republican members Of
the Senate finance committee an
nounced they would refuse to serve
on the conference committee between
the two Houses on the wool bill.
Solid support for the house wool
tariff revision bill was pledged in eau
Gus last night by the Democrats of
the senate, A resolution setting forth
their attitude offered by Senator Cul-
berson of Texas was adopted without
dissenting voice, although the eau
Gus lasted throughout the greater part
of two evenings and was signalized
by protracted debate.

growers of the Northwest, who supply
no inconsiderable portion of the
"spuds" grown in the United States.
