The Druggist of our State ia False
position.

Whisky or strong drink was originally
introduced into and sold from drug
stores, and from that day in all enlighten-
ed countries, it has been considered a
part ofhis necessary stock. Druggists pay
taxes upon their goods like other mer-
chants, and have what we believe, is
called privilege taxes. If we are not
mistaken, Mississippi is the first State
that made druggists take out license to
sell liquor as retailers. They are paying
saloon taxes without the benefit of the
retail saloon. Druggists are supposed
to keep liquors as part OF their medici-
nal supplies, not only selling liquors for
the benefit OF the sick, but using them
largely in the compounding and mixing
OF medicines designed wholly for the
use of the sick and ailing, but they use
them largely in lotions and washes for
the skin. How far they may have
abused their privileges for gain in sell
ms We C'tulloU anu puo ~ 10
certainly mortifying to some menof stand
ing and conscience to be compelled to
come before the public with petition
to sell liquor in less quantities than one
gallon, or forfeit his trade in the article
altogether.
This is hard law upon druggists, and
was certainly an oversight in the Legs-
lature that exceptions were not made in
favor Of the legitimate drug business. A
druggist is compelled to abandon an i'm
portant branch of his trade, or face the
moral sentiment Of many of his friends
as a violator OF precepts which enjoin
him as Il Christian gentleman.
This constitutes one more proof
that our last Legislature was
the weakest body of law-making
authority that ever assembled in the old
Capitol at Jackson and it is to be hoped
that the people Of Mississippi will rele-
gate the majority Of them to other. posi-
lions which they understand much better
than making laws for the diversified in
terests of u great Sovereign State.

Hail stones over one foot long and
three and four inches in diameter were
amazing enough for any editor to pub,
lish, and be left within the possible domain
OF truth, but when the same man, Of the
salina Journal, Kansas, told OF one OF
eighty pounds weight that fell near his
town, we just let the paper drop, With
the conclusion, 60 inadnte, that he was
aspiring to be the biggest hail stone liar
on record, and we granted bin the honor.
Whenever hail stones that large begin
to fall around our habitation, we shall
not only pull up stakes and leave, but
will be forced to the conclusion that we
left the North Pole just above that place
slowly disintegrating and falling by sec
tons.

ENGLAND As A REFORMER AND
LAW-GIVEK.

The Egyptian war has closed as every
observant man must have foreseen and
every philanthropic man must have
wished, in favor OF British arms, and as
consequence, higher niche is in the
temple of fame for Sir Garnet Wolsey
Arabi Bey and his untutored Arabs
fighting the British empire was like &
bumble-bee antagonizing an eagle, or 8
rat and Bengal tiger in conflict. Moth
ing during this struggle surprised us more
than hearing the wish often expressed
that Arab might conquer. We wished
lust otherwise, for many reasons; ant
amongst them, we believed it would be
best for the Egyptians to have stable
government that they could respect ant
obey. 1t was best for civilization, be
cause under British rule the life anc
property of foreigners would be pro
tected. 1t was better for the advance
ment of the christian religion if it is
possible for christianity ever to get &
foothold in Mohammedan countries. /
christians cannot make converts, they
will, under the protection OF British
guns, be allowed to have a say, and
preach us freely on the banks Of the Nile
rs on the margin of the Thames. We
are free to confess that if the Moslems
are ever converted to the christian reli
gion the age of miracles must be re-
vived
One thing is sure in connection with
British conquest, and that is, law and
order will prevail. While it is her policy
to interfere with no religion, wherever
her national ensign floats all religions
are protected. She says to the pagans,
you are not compelled to believe these
christian teachers, but you shall not eat
nor hurt them; and the missionary of any
and all denominations feels very safe in
announcing his message amidst the
cleaning points of British rifles. Like
old Rome, old England carries with her
armies and navies her laws and institu-
tions, and generally whenever she goes
to country, she goes to stay, and has
seldom failed to improve it in all the
elements Of social and political power,
leaving religion matter of choice to all
alike. All the missionaries on the globe
have not in two hundred years accom-
plished results equal to one British cam
paign amongst the peoples of Hindoostan
and Burmah and the Isles of the Sea.
We are far from approving all that is
done by England, the pivot upon which
the vast British empire turns, but we are
seldom disposed to check her progress
in Asia or Africa, for we feel assured
that civilization in all its bearings upon
ignorant and degraded humanity will be
the result.

OF the Jerrys that we have been unable
to ltxate, although his name and his
work have been severely criticised in
several portions of Mississippi. jerry
was not elected, but he had place
amongst our late solons, or the mighty
truth has been badly told.

rested for passing counterfeit coin just

on an eighty acre homestead, twenty
miles north of Kirwin. The sheriff
searched his house and found a pal
named Hudson, a complete set Of dies
and a quantity of unfinished counter
felt coin in different parts of the house.
Best proposes to squeal, intimating that
he has accomplices in the east who are
interested with him in this business.
He has been successfully showing the
queer in country towns for two weeks.
Both he and Hudson hint strongly of
their connection with gangs operating

that these rumors had no other object
than to depreciate certain stock in the

made UP his mind not to contradict any
