The LEDGER is in favor of sewer
age provided it can be accomplished
without imposing too great burden
upon the people. For the present we
are committed to no particular plan.
This is a big question and should be
we'll considered in all its bearings
before we commit ourselves to any
general and costly plan of public
improvements. A mass meeting of
the citizens Of Memphis is to be held
next Saturday night to consider the
sanitary needs of Memphis, and for
the purpose Of securing a call for a
meeting of the legislature as speedy
as possible. At this meeting we may
expect free expression of opinion in
regard to sewerage and other matters.
When a tangible plan is agreed upon
at mass meeting or by any response
bic body of citizens, we will be ready
to investigate and discuss it upon its
merits. That something must be
done, and that speedily, all admit. 1t
will not do to wait until summer as
in former years and then begin to
scrape up heaps of filth and cart off
foul reeking garbage in roasting hot
sun AS we study the questions
which most deeply concern the people
Of Memphis and form opinions we
shall express them in a clear but
temperate way. But Of one thing our
readers may rest assured - the
LEDGER will be found taking sides
when the lines are drawn.

Nashville Banner, Sth.l
The death of General James n

THE high school question will come
up before the school board next
Saturday night. The board now has
an opportunity to receive itself by
abolishing this expensive ornamental
feature Of our public school system.
High school education at the expense
of the many for the benefit of fa-
vored few is contrary to the spirit OF
our institutions, There are the
strongest economic reasons why the
high school should be discontinued
and there are other and more patent
considerations which we have uFged

s'. Francis River improvements.
The congress of the United States
appropriated for the especial service
of navigation improvement in the St,
Francis river considerable sum OF
money, both last year and the year
before. Five thousand dollars, prop

iy benefciql to commercial traffic in

have recently been complaining that
no portion of the appropriation has
been expended for the purpose, but
thatit was used to build an iron snag

large for use 10 the St. Francis river,
and which is now occupied in the
Yazoo. AS the trade of the St. Fran
sis valley is almost wholly with Mem,
