Letter from Rev. G.. B. Galloway.
LIQUOR AND LAW

Legislation on the sale of Intoxicating
liquors in the vicinity of the University
should be made as perfect as possible
Governor Stones message to Mississippi
Legislature.
After fattering statement of the great
prosperity of the State University, the Gov
ernor makes the above recommendation.
Why? Can liquor endanger public inter-
ests and morals more at Oxford than at
Jackson and Vicksburg? True there are
391 young men at Oxford attending college,
but are there not boys and young men in
every town and city OF the State? Is Ok
ford dearer to the public heart than any
other place?
These interrogatories expose mercilessly
| the morale of our liquor laws. The Gov
errors recommendation, which cordially
indorse, acknowledges liquor to be a public
and dreaded evil, and also the right and duty
of the State to legislate against it. In
his calm judgment the suppression of the
| liquor traffic in Oxford will subserve the
continued growth aud prosperity of the
University. intoxicating spirits are an
enemy to the morals and efficiency of a
great educational institution. The Legis-
| latUre is invited to exercise its mighty
power to guarantee protection. But what
| say the liquor dealers? Ours is a legti-
mate business. We have a right to ply our
trade without hindrance or injury. AS cit
liens We claim protection from the State.
We protest against discriminating laws.
The truth is-which underlies the Gov
ernor's message-liquor- selling is not a
right but privilege. No man has right TO
injure his neighbor. The sale of liquor is
an unmitigated evil. Its injury to the
peace and prosperity ola community is be-
yond calculation. The State has undoubt-
ed rtght to control or suppress it. Did any
one ever question the wisdom or right OF
quarantine laws? SO every sentiment
of humanity, every feeling of be-
nevolence and every principle OF
of Lofty patriotism, to say nothing of
Christian sympathy, demand that our homes
and communities be quarantined against
this worse than blighting pestlence. II
right and the duty of the State to throw its
] strong arms of defense around the fair little
city of Oxford and our noble University
other town and cities should have the same
kind of protection and fostering care. 49,.
am gratified by the Governors recon-
mendation. He has placed the argument
where it legitimately and logically belongs
Liquor selling is not a right but a privilege
granted by the sufferance of our moral
cowardice and inhumanity.
! This much | have written, not with the
hope of effeeting any speedy reform, but to
keep the truth clearly before the people.
| Its ultimate triumph is as certain as the
power and providence of God ~

Mr.. GooDALE, Northern man who
was educated at Y ale and Andover, and
is Superintendent of Education in the
parish of Baton Rouge, La, writes to
the New York Times, Republican, to
deny characteristic falsehood of Radi-
cal and sectional agitators that the
"White Leaguers" of that parish would
not permit the establishment of schools
in that District for the education of col
ored children. He says there is no such
organization as the White League in
that parish, that the school board con-
sists of six Democrats, (white,) and
three Republicans. (colored,) all ap-
pointees of the Nichols Government.
He says, further, that the people desire
to provide literally for the education of
the children of both races, and, in proof
of this assertion, he cites the fact that
the board has established twenty-five
white and twenty-five colored schools in
that parish. The teachers in both
classes of schools are paid the same sala-

THE CLARION has been a consistent
advocate of retrenchment in all the
branches of the State Administration
and especially the printing depart
ment. 1t was the first to point
out the way by which large
sums could be saved to the tax payers,
and it has reason to congratulate itself
that its efforts in this line have been
successful. The cost of public print
ing annually, under the six years OF
Republican rule, amounted to about
$4,000. The annual cost under the
two years of Democratic rule has not
exceeded one-fourth or InaU sum. W.
other branch of the public service pre-
sents similar example of retrench
ment and reform.
We are grAtifed that the Honse o
Representatives has taken the subject il
hand, in order to ascertain if still
further reductions cannot be made, AM
with this view has appointed a committe
of which Mr.. Gallagher Of Lauderdale
is chairman, composed of able and prac
tical members, to institute an investigs
ton and report to that body. In the in
terest of economy, we trust they will max
full and searching investigation.
