1T is feared that the atmosphere of
London will soon damage the surface of
Ceopatras' needle. The Luxer obelisk
erected in the Palace de Ia Concorde in
Paris in 1885, is some S;400 y,a.s old,
having stood with another still larger
one before the great temple of Thebes.
The stone is syenite granite, OF brown,
ish red color. Thirty-six years exposure
to the atmosphere of Paris has affected
theystone more than the same number of
centuries exposure to the purer air of
Egypt.

? state Code.

The present Code of Mississippi being the
Code of '71-shoul1 receive the early atten-
ton of the Legislature which will soon
convene at Jackson, for the purpose of Civ
ing it thorough revision and subjecting
it to much needed simplification Per-
spicuity aud simplicity are essential to
written Code of laws, and if these necessary
features are not observed in the framing OF
laws inevitable difficulty and confusion will
ensue.
The condition of the present Code of Mis-
sis>ippi is somewhat peculiar. The Radical
party ruled the State for years and of course
monoDolized the w-making function till
few years ago when the Democratic Onser-
Vative party gained the ascendancy and Sc
cured control of the Safe Government.
And then the new Legislature proceeded
at once to make necessary new laws and to
repeal and amend numerous existing ones.
As necessary result, the State Code is en-
cum bered with repeats and amendments to
an extent that occasions vast amount of
perplexity, and confusion. And as statutes
or parts of statutes can be repealed ind-
rectly ard by implication as well as by di-
rect provision, it follows that the Judicial
officers of the State, especially Justices of
the Peace, will sometimes give confused
and contradictory interpretations of the
law.
Let the Code be carefully revised and
sim plified.

Many expressions from the Presssof the
State, and other sources lead us to believe
that there will be an effort made. at this
session, to call State Convention to get up
new Constitution. This movement is
ill-timed and out of place. Our people are
tax-ridden to death, and have been Iegisla-
ted to death, and the idea of spending one
or two hundred thousand dollars in doing
what could be done otherwise so cheaply,
is preposterous. The Constitution itself
provides for the remedy, and that is sufi-
cient. There are defects that ought to be
righted and changes made, it is true, but
the mode proposed is a remedy worse than
the disease. In the present attitude of af-
fairs the best policy is to make haste by GO

STATE TREASURER HEMING-
WAY.


We were pleased on last Monday to meet
our distinguished and worthy friend, w. L.
Hem anyway, on his return from old Carroll
county, where he had been for the purpose
of making his bond for $4,000 as State
Treasurer. We are pleased to learn that he
had no trouble whatever in procuring the
names of q sufficient number of good and
solvent men in his own county of Carroll to
make the bond good. When he was first
elected, citizens Of Carroll, his native eoun-
t.. made his bond good, and again they
have done so. This speaks well for his rep
utatIon for being honest, capable and faith
fal 70 every trust.
