Charles Warren Fairbanks. former
Vice President of the United States,

ocratic party will find it has made a
great mistake, ito throw away as he
expresses it, millions of dollars in
revenue at the customhouseS Of the
country and make up the deficiency by
a system of stamp taxes upon the cur
rent business of the people
This" Mr.. Fairbanks said, in an in
terview with reporter for The Star

he is staying. will intensity popular
discomfort. stamp taxes have never
been popular in the United States.
Mr.. Fairbanks came to Washin gton to
attend n meeting of the board of re-
gents of the Smithsonian Institution. of
which he is member. He expressed
himself as being delighted to be back
in the capital. where he lived so long,
and to have the opportunity to renew
many old friendships and acquaintance

Campaigns Striking Analogy.

| Speaking of the political situation,
Mr. Fairbanks said:
THE late campaign presented q strik-
! ing analogy to the campaign of 1894.
The people were aroused and deter
mined. They felt that the party in
power had not fulfilled its pledges and
that the unfortunate industrial and
| commercial conditions which prevailed
throughout the entire country We're
due chiefly to the overthrow of the re-
publican party two years ago.
The vast army of the unemployed
was more powerful argument against
democracy than the utterances of all
| the campaig ign orators and editors COM
| bined The effort of our friends in
| opposition to shift responsibility for the
| stamp tax to the necessities growing
| out of the European war did not salts
| fly the people, and as they are obliged
| to pay it from day to day in the future
they will condemn its authors for i'm
| posing upon them an unnecessary bur
| den.

NO. M.&C. PLANS
INCREASE MILEAGE
UTHORITATlvELY STATED ROAD
WILL BUILD EXTENSION TO
POINT ON GULF COAST.
(From Gulfport Herald. J

On January 2S, the Daily Herald
announced, upon what it claimed was
authoritative information, that within
a short time Harrison county would
have another railorad, which would be
built from Beaumont, Miss, to a point
in Louisiana on the l.. & N, possibly
Waveland. Like all railroad stories,
the announcement was denied, but
yesterday the New Orleans papers an
nounced the plans of the stockholders
of the New Orleans, Mobile & Chi
cago Railroad, which confirmed the
story in the Herald. The plans in
clude the extension of both ends of
that road, which now runs from Beau
mont to Middleton, Tenn.
The southern extension will connect
with the Louisville G. Nashville at
Ansley, Louisiana, and the trains of
the new line will enter New Orleans
over the l.. & N. tracks. It is claimed
III ANCW OilCdho ludt oil vi tue dT-
rangements for the project have been
completed.
E. H. Farrar, New Orleans attor-
ney and bondholder of the New Or
leans, Mobile & Chicago road, says
of the proposed extension 1T is no
secret that the New Orleans, Mobile
& Chicago Railroad has been negotiat-
ing for an entrance to New Orleans
and it is no secret that the road is
intending to extend its line from Mid
dleton, Tenn, to the Ohio river. The
objective point in the north is Padu.
cab, Ky. We expect to develop an.
other north and south trunk line. We
have the main portion of the line
built and need outlets at each end.
With the building of the branch from
Beaumont to Ansley, whereby an out
let will be obtained to New Orleans,
and the extension from Middleton,
Tenn, to Paducah. it will complete a
trunk line north and SOUTH"

JUDGE POTTER
IS MENTIONED
FRIENDS HOPE TO SEE HIM AP-
POINTED SUCCESSOR TO
JUDGE w. A. HENRY.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 11.-Judge W.
A. Henry, of the Seventh judicial dis
trict, who was stricken with paralysis
early yesterday morning at Raymond,
where he had been presiding over the
Second district court term, will not
be able to resume his duties on the
bench prior to the convening of the
criminal court term in this city next
MondayN
Gov. Brewer to name a special Judge
to preside here, and it is probable
that the Jackson bar will offer some
suggestions on the subject. However,
the Governor has a habit of selecting
judges without waiting for recommen-
dations, and may do so in this in
stance
1t is more than probable that the
special Judge named by Gov. Brewer
for the Jackson court term will also
be the Judge named to serve in the
Seventh district until the elective ju-
dietary system is put into effect.
Judge Robert Powell, who is presid-
ing as special Judge at Raymond, is
not an aspirant for the honor, and it is
said would not accept it if rendered. He
consented to fill out the week at Ray
mond as a courtesy to the Kinds coun-
ty bar, and could not preside in Jack
son, even if willing to do so, owing
to the fact that he is engaged as coun-
sci in large number of important
cases.
The Jackson bar is anxious to see
the berth rendered to Judge Wiley H.
Potter, former circuit Judge of the
district, who made an admirable rec
ord on the bench during the Varda-
man administration, and has since
been engaged in the practice of law
with Hon. Wiley p. Harris. The
friends of Judge Potter are also urg
| ing him to become a candidate for cir
cult Judge under the elective judiciary
system.
