The Iuka Vidette; Iuka, Miss.
Mr. Editor Will the Vidette kind
ly call attention to the fact that on
yesterday the Southern Railroad
put on double daily trains to Riv-
erton? People of Iuka who desire
to visit Riverton can do SO by rail
and return the same day by taking
the morning train and people from
here can spend several hours in
luka and return the same day. We
are much gratified with the addi-
tional train and hope for closer and
more intimate business and social
relations with the people of Iuka
than heretofore.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
sas supposed to be incurable For great
many years doctors pronounced 1t a local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven Catarrh to be a consti-
tutionai disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by T. J. Cheney Sc
: Co., Toledo, Ohio. Is the only Constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood

Christmas Liquor

Our law does not presume to
say what man must eat and drink
unless his eating or drinking makes
him dangerous to others. Christ
mas will soon be here and many
think that jug of liquor is neces-
sity. ! cannot conceive, of a poor
er way to celebrate the the birth
of our Lord. We are glad to note
that there has not been as much
drinking as usual. The CONNER
cial Appeal says that crime runs
riot in anv community, whether
New YORK. or Memphis, in any
village whether it be New, York
or Memphis, just to the extent
that the village or city permits it.
The Commercial speaks the truth
for once. If we would set our
faces against this evil there would
be less of it. Not only condemn
it but say so. If you are called
before the grand jury do not for
get all you ever heard or ever
saw. 1t is mistaken kindness to
overlook these violations of law.
1t may bear a little hard on them
at times but it makes them think.
A wholesome respect for the law
is good thing. But respect for
the right and for the christian re
Iipion is much better.

-ffiifffiic fiifffiic SENTIMENT dFrt1sf.,, i. !.

F VERY hour makes it clearer that it wfl not be
- wen for the Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis Com
mission to override public sentiment and establish
sanatorium for negro oonsumptves in the Eleventh
Ward The people there do not want it, and their opn-
ion that such Institution should be established
in such place is shared by thousands Of persons in
the outside wards Mayor Howell, who is a physician
and naturally in sympathy with the anti-tuberculosis
movement, has taken the side of those who protest
against the Eleventh ward site. He says
- certainly should not want the hospital around my
hotse, nor do ! think that the people who are advo-
eating its location in the Eleventh ward would want
it near their homes am IN sympathy with the obec-
tons of the people of the Eleventh ward"
The success of the anti-tubercuosis movement is
dependent upon public sympathy and support AS we
view it, it would be ruinous to the in this State
for the Ant-Tuherculosis Commission 10 persist in
which inevitably will deprive il of much Of the
public favor it enjoys to-day. There nothing in the
situation whch calls Tor such extreme STEP There
hundreds Of sites in New Castle county whore such
an institution may be placed without giving ofense
20 the public any considerable part thereof
Heretofore those who have been in the forefront Of
the highly commendable movement to stamp tuber-
culosis have wonderfully careful and dplo-
matte course in dealing with vexed situation t is
scarcely likely that at this time when the sympathy and
the goodwill of the public have been obtained that
they viii spo it all by perssting in pursuing course

amendment of the bill on this and
other grounds, while many on the op-
posite side insist that flogging is a
wholesome and expedient sort of dis
cipline for the class of offenders dealt
with in this particular piece Of leg
islation. The reformers have been
shocked to find a high ecclesiastic
among their warmest opponents. In
a letter to the Times the Bishop Of
Chester writes:
Christ wlLn a whip Of rushes drove
from the courts of the Temple those
who profaned them with their traffic.
What shall be said of those who for
the filthiest of filthy lucres defile the
human temple, the shrine of the Holy
Ghost? If hogging will bring home
to them the Nervousness of their
guilt will it not be mercy to them as
we'll as to the girls and women whom
they have marked down for their
victims?"
The answer is that no amount of
fogging is likely to lead them to a
keen consciousness Of their sin, but
the Bishop is of another opinion. "A
few years ago." he says, "a chief con-
stable told me that when in an ear
/ lier stage of his career it was his
duty to give assistance to discharged
prisoners in one of our large towns
some of those who had more than
once been in prison declared to him
their resolution to return no more.
On inquiry he found that this was due
to their havin0 w 'a~gone fiogging
\ for their last offence"
The anecdote Is interesting, but 1t
would be more impressive if we were
assured that the other prisoners had
as positively declared their intention
of coming back. An officer whose
business it is to help discharged pris-
oners is after all not likely to be in
formed of the innermost wishes of
those with a genuine craving for pris-
on life We fancy that a good many
who have never been logged have
| nevertheless. sworn off after a reason
able time of penal servitude.

THEY DO HIM DAMAGE.

From the Wilmington Sunday Star
Is it not a significant circumstance
that the chief claim of Mr.. Willard
Salisbury to the United States sena-
torship, as put forward by his friends,
is that he has always been on hand
with his barrel" to keep the party
alive? These friends do not appear to
appreciate the sinister meaning of
this claim; nor do they seem to recog-
nize the insinuation against the party
which such an argument implies. A
party whose Conference depends upon
the cash of one man, who is a peren-
nial applicant for high party favor, is
not worth keeping alive; yet that is
what the thick and thin friends of
Mr.. Salisbury say of the Democratic
party. 1t was a similar party claim
urged by Addicks and his supporters
lin favor of the gas man for senatorial
honors Addicks played that card for
twelve years, and failed because the
people did not admit the validity of
the claim

DEMOCRATs AND A SENATOR.

From the Dover Delawarean.
The Democrats will have a major
ity of the legislative votes on joint
ballot in the next Legislature, and
these votes are all that is necessary
to elect a United States Senator to
fill the vacancy which will be caused
by the expiration of the term of Sen
ator Richardson. That these Demo-
cratic legislators will select a Demo-
crat to represent the State at Wash
ington, there can be little doubt.
Some OF our Republican contempor-
aries appear to be considerably exer-
cised over this matter, but they can
rest assured that the Democrats will
meet the issue, when the time comes,
fairly, and that Delaware will lose
nothing in honor through their
choice.

nOIDAY SHOPPING AND srLr.INTEREsT.

- TIE holiday season is approaching Wilmington
ians preparing 10 do shopping in which
hundreds of thousands of dollars, made chiefly here
at home viii be spent Heretofore much of that
has gone to Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore.
This year an almost all of it should be spent right
here at home with local merchants They are lay
ing in extensive stocks OF goods through which shop
pers will have a wide range Of selection; they have
fixed prices which fair and reasonable they have
prepared TO augment their selling forces to
sure quick service aud the delivery facilities have
been extended TO handle the holiday traffic with ex-
rodition and accuracy. Surely nothing more could be
asked of Them They have done prepared to
do, their fun duty to the Wilmington Shoppers, and
those shoppers should make up their minds to do
their fun duty TO the Wilmington merchants. We say
that in behalf OF all those merchants great and small
and utterly regardless of whether they advertise or
do not advertise in the columns of THE EVENING
JOURNAL We say it because deem it duty we
owe to the local business community. We say it be-
cause know that the chief bane of the local NOR
chant is the man or woman who makes his her
money here and then rushes off to Philadelphia, New
York OF Baltimore 10 spend &C. We say it because we
know that if We are to have here great commercial
city is imperative that Wilmngtonians shall assist in
making it great by shopping az home and keeping in
circulation here the hundreds of thousands they make
and spend.
Al Wilmingionian who loves his home city and has a
regard for its future should not need urging
such a matter lie should act mstinctivey to protect
the commercial interests of his home town and add-
ton he should insist that the members OF his family
also pursue that policy i'm doing their shopping Our
Wilmington merchants deserving OF fair treatment
at the hands OF Wilmingonians They are not in a
position to demand it nor would they be in a position
10 enforce such demand were made. The best they
do is to rely upon that spirit Of home love and
fair play which should aetuate every wideawake com
munity. ID has been said by OF Americas wisest
men that when you buy away from home, you get tle
goods and the other people Get the money, but that
when you buy at home you get both the goods and the
money Carry that thought I'm your mind when YOU

most aggressive opponents will be
former Congressman l.. Irving Handy
of Smyrna, judging from a letter he
has sent to prominent Democrats,
pointing out that for the last twenty
years he has been an exponent of
progressive policies, that New Castle
county already has one Senator who
will look out for the needs of that

bury's friends say he is the proper

cause of any public service he has
rendered, or because Of any special
aility as a statesman displayed by
him-it is always party service, and
service of a kind that is not gener-
ally regarded as of very high order
If Mr.. Salisbury is entitled to party
recognition upon any other ground
than that he has spent his money for

his friends would do him a service
