The estimated cost of closing the gaps
in the levees between Vicksburg and
Memphis, is estimated at SO, 900, 900.
This is rather a rough guess; but what
ever the cost is. an appropriation for
that object should be obtained at once.
The Mississippi members Of Congress
viii entitle themselves to the gratitude
of their constituents If they viii devote
their energies to this important work
without delay.

sidious disease, Col. Victor W. Thomp-
son yielded up his life at Savannah,
Ga. on the 18th inst. He was con-
lnected with the press of Mississippi in
his early manhood; and continued it in
Texas until the war He won his spurs
lin the struggle, as a gallant confederate
soldier. When the war was over, he
returned to his original pursuit in Texas,
and afterwards in Mississippi and Ten
nessee. In the hope of regaining his
health, he accepted the appointment Of
Consul to the Island ST. Thomas, under

| ESTeRPRIsE COURIER: Our Legislature
which has Just adjourned, has left \ pretty
wide gap down for the ''anti-monopoiistsa
to come in and fight the democracy. This
class legislation in favor of capital and cor
porations will be heavy weight for the
Democratic party to carry in the next
campaign. In this the Democratic party of
Mississippi have not been truly represented.
The party-the people are at heart true
anti-monopolist, and their voice will be
heard in the future campaigns; and it will
be heard inside the party remanding to the
rear all who favor corporations and the
money power as against the people. The
| Legislature is not the party.

In a recent debate in the lower House
of Congress, Judge Kelly, Chairman of
the Committee on Ways and Means,
said that in two weeks, bill would be
reported reducing the internal revenue
taxes $50, 900, 900 per annum This is
right. Reduce the war tax; and at the
same time reduce the sc-called ''protec-
tive" duties that increase the cost of ar
ticles of daily and necessary eonsump-
ton for the benefit of monopolists.-
IT will be matter of satisfaction to
the good people of Pamela to know that
their efficient Democratic member, N.
G. Knox, has well and faithfully dis
charged his duty as member of the
Legislature in refecting their wishes
upon every question affecting their in
terest. His efficiency, vigilance and
sound discretion will entitle him to the
applaudit, "well done, thou good and
