the reason that they supercede the pre-

The amendments recently adopted by

The State Board of Health

One of the wisest acts of the Legisla-
ture was to pass well digested bill
amending the laws of the State for the
protection of public health. 1t enlarged
the powers of the State Board, provided
it with funds sufficient to meet emer-
eencies, and conferred mandatory
powers upon it for the abatement Of
pestilence-breeding nuisances and ward
ing off contagious diseases. To enable
it to perform its important duties sue
cessfuIly, the Board must be supported
by all the moral infunce of a strong and
active public sentiment. For the achieve
ment Of this important measure great
credit is due our talented townsman
and eminent physician, DR.. Writ John
son, the secretary and chief executive
officer of the Board. He realized the
necessities of the situation, and his labors
for the bill were earnest and effective.
In the Senate, it was In charge of Mr..
Brennan of Natchez, and in the House
of Mr.. Ford, of Marion, both able MEM
bers of the medical profession. The
Board consists of physicians of high
standing as men of learning and expe-
rienced practitioners. 1t will hold its
first meeting in this city on Friday
the I'd, for the purpose Of putting the
machinery Of the new law into opera
ton.

THE Democratic problem 70 be solved at
Cincinnati then is simply this: What Dem
ocratic candidate can most securely, and
easily, and naturally hold the fifteen South
ern States, and at the same time give the
best assurance of carrying New York Con-
necticut, Massachusetts, Indiana and New
Jersey for the Democratic ticket New
York World.
To begin with, set down the Southern
States Democracy, for PRINCIPLES, not
MEN. They will support the nominee.
1t is absurd to talk about Massachusetts,
voting the Democratic ticket but we
have a very distinct impression that the
other Northern States named, can be
easily carried by Horatio Seymour, the
Cincinnatus of his time. As New
York goes, so viii go New Jersey and
Connecticut Indiana always answers
in the right place at roll-call.

Lieut.. Gov. Sims.

The success of a legislative body in
despatching business expeditiously de-
ponds upon the skill and efficiency of the
presiding officer. In this particular,
the Mississippi Senate is highly favored.
The rapidity as well as impartiality with
which Lieut. Governor Sims conducted
its proceedings was a subject of general
remark; and therefore the following
tribute from the West Point Echo, is
richly deserved:
Read the farewell remarks of Lieutenant~
Governor w. II. Sims, to the Senate on the
adjournment of that body. This gentleman
has won the distinction of being the best
presiding officer who ever presided over a
Mississippi Senate, and he will make the
best Governor who ever welded the execu-
tive sceptre over any State. He is the shin
ing light of the Mississippi bar, he is the
courtly gentleman and polished scholar, he
is the true friend, he has the best poised in
tellect in the State, No man, men or object
can swerve him one iota from a conscious
duty. There is no position within the gift
of the people that he would not reflect credit
upon them as their representative and lead

IT is said by well-informed Democrats in
Mississippi that, should Tilden be nomina-
ted at Cincinnati, Grant or Blaine or Wash
burne would carry the State by a large
majority.-New York Express.
With an opportunity equal to most
others for ascertaining public sentiment
in Mississippi, We can assure our New
York contemporary that there is no
truth in the report, 80 far as it implies
that the Democrats will not vote for
Mr. Tilden if he is nominated. For the
reason that he was made the scape-goat
for the plumbers Of others who lost the
Presidency after it had been gained in
a ,hard-fought contest in 1876, a large
number Of Democrats in the State do
not think him the most available can
didate, but this does not argue that they
Will not vote for him with all the zeal
they would bring to the support Of any
other candidate, if he should be selected
as the Democratic standard bearer.
Thousands will vote for him with more
genuine, hearty enthusiasm than any
other man that could be nominated.
Count the Mississippi Democracy for
the nominee, whether he be Tilden or
Hendricks, Thurman or Hancock, Sey-
mour or Bayard, Randall or Field

THE last Legislature passed an Act Civ
ing the Boards of Supervisors the power to
tax dogs. We hope the Board in this coun-
ty will not fail to exercise the authority.
There are nine million dogs in the county
and eleven million in the city. Any one
can estimate what q revenue may be raised
by taxing them. And the sheep, hogs,
calves and children shoulds be protected by
reducing the dogs million or so.-Vicks-

determination of dogs running at large,
which citizens ought to take special
pains to enforce as they have the right
to do under its provisions.

The Humphries Bill in New York.

The New York Legislature is greatly
railroad tariff bill, such as has been en-
acted into a law in many of the other
States. The contest is fierce one. The
New York Herald, which advocates the
measure, says that ''the corporations
have a great advantage in legislative
contests which touch their interests.
The people who complain Of injustice
cannot easily concentrate their influence,
whereas the railroads are always
equipped for such emergencies. The
railroad lobby Is the most powerful,
dexterousand best supplied Of all lob
bies, and no bill restricting the roads or
adverse to their interests has any
chance of success unless it Is clearly
right and is urgently demanded by the
great body Of the people"
The Herald, in discussing the anti
discrimination bill, says:
The main purpose of this bill is so clearly
lust as to admit Of no dispute, except by
the roads and business men who profit by
their tavoritism. The general public senti-
ment of the State demands that the unjust
determinations practiced by the roads shall
be abolished. A cry for redress has been
raised throughout the State. A year ago it
had become so earnest and Imperative that
the last Legislature was constrained 10 APP
point committee to investigate the subject.
Laborious inquiries supported tie complaints
by erWhelmIng evidence. W nile the
committee WAS still exploring abuses both
political parties held their State Conven-
lions and Endorsed the popular demand in
their platforms Governor Cornell went
beyond the platform of his party i'll his
letter of acceptance, and in his message at
the beginning OF the session, he presented
this as one of the most important subjects Of
legislative action. He said that ''the public
have the right to demand that fright tariffs
shall be uniform for like service, without
discrimination as between citizens or com
munities, and that they should also have ali
reasonable publicity. This should be Sc
cured by just and practical regulations
And in conclusion Of its able article,
the Herald says;
The people of this State demand justice,
and if they do not get ii from this Legisla-
ture they will have it from the next. 1t Is
not expected that the same rates will be
charged tor all classes of freight, but only
for the same kind Of freight. 1t is not ex-
pected that there will be a uniform rate for
carloads and for single packages, but that
carload for carload COR single package for
single package the charge shall be the same
between the same places. The unjust favor
itism of secret special rates must be abol-
ished.
