The Fourth Estate is ably repre-
scented in the Mississippi House of
Representatives, l,y Col. Ethel
Barksda'e of the Clarion, Uncle
George Harper of the Raymond
Gazette, Professor Guthrie of the
Oxford Falcon, and Hon. 10 Mead
of the Westville News. There are
two laws in force in this state, which
very injuriously and unjustly affect
the newspapers. The first is tho
fixed pxice Of fifteen cents for each
legal subdivision for publishing the
list of delinqrfents for Sheriff,s tax
sales. BY this law, parties who pay
from twenty to one hundred dollars
general tax and costs, pay the prin-
Ter only fifteen cents; while others
whose property unfortunately lies
In two or more legal Subdivisions,
but whose general taxes and costs
amount, often to less than five dol
lars, have to pay the printer from
fifteen cents to two dollars. See
the injustice to both the publisher
and the delinquent advertised. The
second law is not only unjust but
Ubiquitous. We refer to the act
which relieves insurance .compa-
mics doing business in this state
from publishing an annual state
ment of the condition of such COM
panies. Our confcrcs all over the
state, must have thought of these
things as we have; and now let us
urge on our Honorable brothers in
the Legislature not to neglect our
common cause. The Legislature
will doubtless adjourn at an early
day. We have no time to lose.

THE w EEKLY SUN.

| Ito. NEW 0kNA. 1910.
Eighteen hundred and seventy six
is the Centennial year. 1t is also
the year in which an Opposition
House of Representatives, the first
since the war, will he in session at
Washington; and the year of the
twenty-third election of IL PRESIDENT
of the United States. AL of these
events are sure to be of great inter-
est and Importance, especially the
two latter; and all of them and
everything connected with them
will he fully and freely reported
and expounded in The Sun.
The Opposition House of Repre-
sentatives, taking up the line of
inquiry opened years ago !. i
Sun, will stel My and diligently in
vestigate the corruptinns and mis-
deeds~ of Grants administrath .
and will, it is to lie hoped, lay ell
foundation for new and better psi
Rod in our national history. or ae
this The Sun will contain complete
and accurate accounts, furnishing
its readers with early and trust :
worthy information upon these alb
sorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential
election, with the preparations for
it, will be memorable as deciding
upon Grants aspirations for a third
term of power and plumber, and
still more as deciding who shall be
the candidate of the party of Re-
form, and as electing that candidate.
Concerning all these subjects, those
who read The Sun will have the
constant means of being thoroughly
informed.
The Weekly Sun, which has at
tanned Il circulation of over $4,000
copies, already has its readers in
every State and Territory, and we
trust that the year 1876 will see
their numbers doubled. 1t will
continue to be a thorough news
paper. All the general news of the
day Will be found in it, condensed
when unimpOrtunt, at full length
when OF moment; and always, we
trust, treated in IL clear, interesting
aud instructive manner.
1t is our aim to make the Weekly
Sun the best family newspaper in
the world. and we shall continue to
give in its columns a large amount
of miscellaneous reading, such as
stories, tales, poems. scientific intel
ligence, and agricultural informa-
ton, for which we are not able to
make room in our daily edition.
The agricultural department espe-
cially is one of its prominent fea-
lures. The fashions are also regu-
larly reported in it's columns, and
SO are the markets of every kind.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages,
with fifty-slx broad columns, is only
81 20 year, postage prepaid. AS
this price barely repays the cost of
paper, 10 discount can be made
from this rate to clubs, agents, post
masters or any one.

Wanted---A New Sex.

A New York paper tacetiously advo-
cafes the institution of new sex, the
inclpient of which shall be designated
as the ''male girl" 1t is thought that
such an institution will correct all the
shortcomings aud longvgoings Of the.
present two sexes, and constitute an;
Improvement. The writer says:
On the other hand, the belief that a
new variety of human being is impera-
lively needed has long prevailed among
the most advanced social IetOrmers. 1t
is generally conceded among the friends
OF the Emancipation OF Woman" that
what is really needed is the invention
OF new sex. 1t is obvious to the minds
of our strongest-minded women not only
that men, being unmitigated brutes, are
entirely unfit to live, but also that
women, who are spiritually a little
higher than the angels, are physically
unit to meet all the exigencIes OF life.
or course, they consider that If men
could be wholly eliminated and the
world placed wholly under the control
of women, the change would be an enor-
nous improvements; nevertheless they
admit--in the confidence of private ten
aud toast-LthaL even in u world governed
wholly by women contingencies would
arise with which the ablest woman
would be unable to successfully cope
For instance, there is the implacable and
devastating mouse.
What would become of Senate of
women if a mouse should venture into
the Senate chamber? There, too, is
the appalling earJh-Worm. How could
| women venture 70 undertake the cult
Of ri NH al Of 40
world with The certainty That from time
| 10 time the plow would bring to the sur
| face fierce and deadly earth-worm,
which would squirm under the very feel
| Of the hOrritied husbandWoman? 1t is
| in vain to alIege that woman can face
| dangers like these With any hope Of tri-
umphing over them.
The most progressive woman, clad in
| the best OF trousers, armed with the bal
lot, and holding the most important Of
| flee in the State, would be liable to faint
in the presence of determined mouse
or to perish under the attack OF an en-
ragged and violent earth-Worm. 1t is
thus clear that before the world can be
brought to state OF absolute perfection
new kind OF woman, having The moral
and mental eXcellenoies of tne present
variety OF women, and the boldness in
the face OF mice ana creeping things
which distinguishes the brave though
| brutal man, must be devised.
| Such a being would virtually consti
tule new sex, to whom would right
fully appertain the possession and gov.
| ernmenL OF the world. n
When this male girl is formally placed
on exhibition, there will be an end of the
pretense that evolution can not evolve II
new pattern OF humanity and a revival
of courage among the advocates OF
woman's supremacy. Under the leader.
ship OF male girls who can face the
dercest mouse with impunity, and liter.
ally beard the earth-werm in his native
ground, woman can tearlessly undertake
all the duties which men SO imperieetly

The n, Y. Times.

TODAY the New York Times cele-
hrates the completion of its one-quarter
of o century's existence. 1t owes its
origin and much of its greatness to the
anergy, learning, prudence, industry
and moral worth of its founder, HENRY
j. RAYMOND. From clean.looking
handsome little sheet when issued
twenty-five years ago this morning,
backed by capital but small in money
yet large in brains, the Times has grown
into strength until it is the leading pa
per of the country as to influence, and
Is worth one million of dollars.
Though Mr.. RAYMOND did not Live to
Zee the twenty-ffLh anniversary Of the
great paper he had founded and nur-
,tuFed, he nevertheless lived long enough
10 witness its greatness, nearly all Of
which had been achieved by his own
a. tir lng hand and fertile brain.
1t is peculiar commentator due to
The Times that, while always positive, it
has never been pompous and dictatorial.
ITS moral tone has always been main
tained to the highest standard. And
this is as true of its political as it is of
It's SOCIAL ssntiments< and doctrines.
Though devoted to apolitieal a party as
H principle, it has never hesltated 10
Ecourgs the unworthy persossReg and un-
Nise policy of the party to which it be-
i6nged. And this is the true secret of
its popularity and power.
ia paper such as is the Times becomes,
after such lapse of time, "public in
stitAtien" in every sense of the word.
Isis a public instructor. 1t is mouth
6ieee for public utterance. 1t is reeog-
nized defender Of public rights; and
HcOgnined avenger of public wrongs.
With such character and such a career
as the NY. Times presents, we devoutly
trast that it may continue TO celebrate.
Rot only quarters, but whole centuries
bi prosperous existence.
