Concerning Salaries.
Tupelo Journal.

The CLARION referring to the bill intro
duced by Mr.. Warren of Marshall county,
which reduces the salaries OF State officers
lower than they were prior to the war,
very appropriately says
The people expect the Legislature rigidly
to scrutinize expenditures and enforce
economy in all the branches of the public
service but this does not imply that they
are in favor of establishing an aristocracy
of officeholders and reducing salaries to a
point so low as to place the offices of trust
and responsibility beyond the reach of the
poor, and accessible only to the rich. 1t is
rule OF Divine inspiration, applicable to
all the affairs of life, that the ''laboror is
worthy of his hire"
1t seems that the people must ever be on
extremes. The Radical party were so prof
ligate in expenditures, that their Democrat
ic successors seem bent on going as far in
the other direction.

The school System.
Prentiss PIeader.

Viewed from a standpoint of pure, az
stract economy, the suggestion OF the Ola
RON as to lowering the grades of studies is
a good one. The present school system is
obnoxious in many respects. The stan
dard is either too high or 100 low; and as
we do not see from all the lights before us
much chance for elevationg it, we join
hands with the CLARION and 60 in for de-
pressing it. Then we say lower. the stan
dard. c0nfine the studies to the elementary
branches. reading, writing and arithmetic
diminish the pay of teachers for those
branches, at the same time allowing other
bra. ches to be taught, the parent paying
for the same.

Hon. H. P. Reid of Coahoma.
CoQhouaidu.

Our Representative ia the State Legisla-
ture, Judge Ell. P. Reid, has been placed upon
the Committee on Printing, and also upon
thaton Levees. Judge Reid would prove a
good committeeman in almost any depart
ment and is especially fitted for the work
before him on these two committees. He
has been practical printer and editor, with
high appreciation of the usefulness of the
press, we feel satisfied that he will rather
strive to encourage the institution than to
follow the course of rs Legislature, in its
efforts to suppress it. As regards the levee
Business, we can speak from actual knowl-
edge. de has given the subject his serious
consideration for years, and we know posi-
lively that he perceives the folly ofthe Casey
Young bill, as regards Our district, and will
resist the States acquiesence therein with
all his skill and power.

THE debt of Virginia is SAG, 600, 900,
which is 12R per cent. on the taxable
valuation of property in the State, or
about $50 10 each family in the State.
The debt of Tennessee is S22, 100000.
We will venture the prediction that not
one-half of either of these sums will ever
be paid and that men who had de-
claimed loudest against Mississippi for re-
pudiating debt which she never author
lied, nor pledged her faith to redeem,
nor for which she ever received cent of
consideration--will be found among the
foremost advocates of scaling" them.

A WRITER in the bondholder's interest,
says that "Senator Hill gives the people
of Georgia an open and decided express
sion of hostility to the financial fallacies
and delusions which seem to be ravaging
the South and West-that he cares less
about finding out what the sentiment of
Georgia is than he does about educating
that sentiment up to what it should be-
All this is in reference to his supposed op.
position to remonetizing silver and repeal
ing the resumption act. 1t is strange
that Senator, even with six years
term before him does not know that his
business is to reflect the will of the peo-
pie whose agent he is-to serve them, not
to "educate" them. The conceit, if he
unfortunately has it, that he is their
master, and not their servant, may be
taken out of him before his race is run.

RESOLUTIONS are pending in the Lou
isiana Legislature in favor of the silver
bill, and repeating the resumption act.
The New Orleans Democrat, the official
journal of the State and central Demo-
cratic organ, states that these resolutions
represent the views of the great mass of
the people Of Louisiana, and should be
adopted by the Legislature of the State.
But we apprehend they will not be. Some
how or other, the Hayes Administration
has obtained ar extraordinary ascend
ency over the Democratic Administration
of our sister State.

The followingiS a late special dis
naich 10 the NaM Orleans Tlmes:

The following is q late special dis
patch to the New Orleans Times:
The Republican Congressional Com
miltee is holding meetings and getting
ready for the next canvass. The Sc
crets of the Committee are guarded
with uncommon care, but It 10 known
that thorough reorganization is TO be
made. Especial attention ls given 10
the South, particularly Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and Alabama. The Republi-
can party 10 those States is thought to
have elements Of vitality left, and
everything possible will be done 10
stImulale It. In close districts In Lou
isiana aud Mississippi the Committee
will not advise the nomination of a
Republican ticket, but suggest that
Independent candidates be encour-
aged TO run, for whom the colored vote
should be cast. This plan is strongly
recommended by leading Republicans,
In ct least two districts In Louisiana,
one in Mississippi, two in Alabama,
and one In Georgia. They think South
Carolina is . hard nut to crack, and
will not waste much money or time on
1t. The Committee, however, has great
hopes of Louisiana. From reports
made TO It, the opinion ie that the Re-
publlcans have 9 fair chance to carry
at least two Of the districts that are
now Democratic, besides holding the
one they have. The administration is
informed that there is great dissatisfac.
ton among certain Democratic leaders
ct the course of things, and that 3 iu.
dicious use Of money and some pat.
rOnage would make such 3 split 81
would be beyond healing.
As has been said, It is not the policy
of. the Republicans to nominate
straight-out men Of their own party
when the result is at all doubtful, but
to foment disagreements among The
Democrats and csst their votes for thC
! candidate with whom . confidential
