Now it is proposed by the Atlanta (Ga)
Constitution that the Governor of Mississippi
shall, if necessary, "call upon the Govern

in Yazoo County, in that state. Such u
proposition as this, coming as it does from
q Democratic source, carries with it volumes
of argument to show the soundness of the
so-called bayonet policy of the Republican
party Perhaps it was the failure of Presi-
dent GRANT to favorably respond to Gov
ernor ANIEs call for troops in 1874 that en-
couraged the germ of these outbreaks" so
that they have now grown into the most
colossal proportions.

INDIANA is also on the re-
trenchment and reform list. A
bill has been introduced in the
legislature to regulate fees and
salaries. 1t provides that in
counties having less than IS 900
inhabitants, all officers except
recorders shall receive $1,000
per year; from 5000 to 10000
they shall receive SI252 per
year; from 20, 900 to IS, 900 they
shall receive SI565 per year, and
in counties of over 5000 inhab-
itants the officers receive SIS7S
annually. This bill has been ia
vorably reported on by the COM
mittee to whom it was referred.
The idea that the fees of office
are too large is not confined to
Texas alone.

THE Waco Telephone says
"the Brennan jail is empty

refreshing news, considering the
distance it comes. 1t is an old

home" The Brenham jail is
not empty, has not been empty
since it was built, and stands no
show of being empty for some
time to come unless the birds
should all take wings and fly
away. The people of Washing
ton county would be glad to
have an empty county Jail, but
such cannot be.

but practiced law only a short
time. His inclinations led him
towards literature, and he was
for many years intimately con-

sight of by the public for the
last quarter of a century. He
was the father of Richard Hen

He put a teaspoon-fuil Of flour

idly, SO rapidly in fact that there

population makes a town and
the larger the population the
better for all kinds of business
es and professions, the store
keeper, the professional an,the
laborer. the mechanic, the land
lord and in fact everybody is
equally benefited. Destroy the
public schools and at once the
reputation of the town is ruined,
people who have settled here
will move away and none will

stead of making an effort to kill
