Late edyjces state the sugar interest
III Cuba Ia virtually ruined. While we
synpathize with the Cuban planters,
our sympathy is not Of that. Astounding

MISSISSIPPI.
We clip from the Kinds county Gazette
the, following items or the Legisla-
ture Trays !.
Never has there been such an interest
displayed In the doings OF Legislature
ma there In In the one now In session.
Every newspaper YOU pick up. the first
article that meets your eye is "Lcgisla-
tive proceedings" The first question
that IL asked on meeting friend is,
"Well, what's the Legislature doing2.'
And 20 II is. an hour cannot pass with
ject, either directly or indirectly, 80 that
ones mind Ia constantly filed with
Legislative workings.
Then, quoting the following truthful
and vivid description Of the change Of
appearance in the Legislature, II adds a
few words OF eloquent compliment 10
the personnel OF the actual Legislature
OF Mississippi, Would to God that we
or Louisiana could say MS much:
The carpet-bag buzzards are not to be
eeen about the Capitol. rs In former
times, Their occupation II gone. The
Legislature is composed. with few ex-
ceptions. Of Southern gentlemen. The
atmosphere IL SO much purer In and
around the capitol, II Ii pleasant for a
white gentleman to spend time there.
