TIE PRESS ASSOCIATION.

' The coming Press convention u
this place in June next Is bein.
looked forward to with anticipa
tions of great JOY and good cheer
by our brethren OF the press
throughout the State, and almost
weekly do we see something in our
exchanges about the anticipated
pleasures of our reunion this year.
We believe the members of the
association will not be disappointed
in receiving a warm welcome by
our citizens, and that they VIII be
pleased with the coast when they
see it. As has already been pub
lished in these columns, ourcitizens
held IA meeting and appointed the
necessary committees to make AZ
rangements for receiving and en-
tcrtaining the association, and we
do not doubt everything necessary
for the comfort and enjoyment of
the press gang while on the coast
will be attend to by our hospitable
citizens.
To show our citizens what the
State papers I saying upon this
subject we publish the following
extracts. The Yazoo City Herald
says:

held in June at ~Pascagoula, with his dis

A person in the gentlemens' gal,
lery of the house yesterday inter.
rupted the proceedings by crying,
"woe, woe, to this den of thieves!'
We are glad the person was
promptly elected, for however much
the democrats abuse the republi-
cans, it is their duty to protect the
minority from denunciations of
strangers in the gallery. We trust
the democratic door-keepers will
continue to arrest and eject from
the gallery all persons who attack
the republicans in this style. The
rites of hospitality should not be
violated.

Governor Stone has accordingly
received several applications. If
such a provision vas in the bill

AN EXAMPLE FOR NEW ORLEANS,
New Orleans Democrat.
The Chicago socialists may pos.
sess all the wild ideas, but they
also have some good ones. For in.
stance, they declare that "the
health of the city is of the first i'm
portance; therefore, the city must
be cleaned and kept clean" They
also insist that "the city shall be
run Oh a cash basis, not a dollar to
be expended until it is collected:r
These two planks in their platform
cover the ground OF municipal gov
ernment much more effectually
than the socialists and more care
full of the interests of the corpora
