Most people would say that we d the jaundlce, from the yellowish nge which appears in this issue. be truth is that that is just what is matter with us, and we have had HeEe-eE less, since the advent of this paper. nearly five months ago. The cause of it is simply the worry and bother Of trying to get paper to Mineral Park. We have paper com ing from San Francisco, freight paid in advance, which has been on the way four months. We have also paper coming from Denver winch has been about thirty days on the reaassalso paper by express from AL buquerque which has been over a week on the road and yet ;t seems impossible to get any of it landed in ?

." they will never haVSs E15 as good. Of course these few remarks are only intended for the benefit of those who make a practice of locating mines for the purpose of selling them to others and not with view of working them themselves. In this connection we are pleased to note the disposition on the part of our miners to encour- age men who are willing to work by giving them an interest in some good claim, or by leasing a good claim to them, and especially is this so in-re- gard to old timers who have left the county for years and have now come back again, All we ask is that the same generous disposition be shown to the men who are willing to invest
 their money with us, Let us not stand in our own light by placing a fictitious value on our mines but rather go to work and open them up and give them real value. To do this we need the aid of capital; hence we say encourage the capitalists by every means in your power and if he be afraid to buy a mine give him 7ne nroTfde6;= ;=7 1.sElss. t1ea+ ha will agree to spend certain amount of money 1nI developing it.

Senator George On 3ailrOad Sa-
peryistOn.

In his able and exhaustive letter
on toe subject of Railroad Superyi-
sion 30 which we refer. ed last week,
Senator George, after expressing his
opinion in favor of the right OF Su
pervisioD, but showing that nothing
can BE- accomplished by any one
State as far as the regulation of
tariffs on inter-S State commerce j.,
concerned, proceeds to argue in
favor OF local supervision as follows:
1t would seem then that the elf =
cient power of the State to regulate
charg, on Railroads. is confined to
purely internal transporlion, i. e. :,
shipments starting at one point in
the State and ending at another
point in the 5 ate, and that this por-
ton of our commerce is exceedingly
small. Mississippi has no large
commercial city, which is the end
OF shipments of her products, and
which Is the starting poiut Of ship
ments of supplies which she needs
Texas has Galveston, Alabama has
Mobile, Georgia has Atlanta, Sa-
vaunah, Augusta and Brunswick, land
other States have one or more large
cities 10 which lines of both internal
and Interstate commerce converge,
aud which are markets for their
products, and also for the sale and
distribution Of supplies which their
people need. In all such States, the
power TO regulate charges on internal
and domestic transportation is of
great value; and when wisely used
cauno: fail to benefit their people.
BY the exercise of this power, trans
portatiou of freight to aud from
their large cities is secured at the
fixei rates, and when freight has
reached these points cheap rates to
other markets are afforded 10y com
pe,ition on the different lines run
ming from those cities. Wherever
competition exists, freight by 8
natural law of trade will be as low
as the cost Of transportation will
admit. No one wishes to force
them lower than this; and if there
was a wish there would be no power
since that would not only be unjust
but would if persisted in, destroy the
Railroad Companies, for they, as
Others, cannot and will not carry
on business for anylong time with
out profit or the hope of profit. The
trouble in Mississippi is that we
have no competition, affecting any
considerable portion ofonr commerce;
hut wherever it exists, whether re-
su!ting from competing lines Of

a mother TaI:s on the Question Of
Nominations.

Only two days more will elapse
before the bat meetings in this
county to appoint delegates TO the
county convention which meets on
August llth, aud fm these two days
at least the question of nominating
Dem "crslic county ticket will re-
main an open one. During court
we have met a great many OF the
leading Democrats from all portions
of the county, and decided ma
iority nf those with whom we have
talked on the subject, either do not
object to nominations by the con-
vention, or else are outspoSen in
favor of such a policy. 1t might as
well be said that by far the greater
portion Of all the objections We have
ever heard to the nominating plan,
came from candidates themselves,
who hope BY having party disorgan-
ization perpetuated and the vote OF
the county divided among multi
tude o" office seekers, each to have
his individual chances for receiving
a mere plurality Of the votes greatly
enhanced. This will be the effect
tr 49, o.o 80 combinations and
from the personal-interest stand
point of the candidate, it is all
very we'll; but the people have an
interest in the matter, too, which is
of far more importance than that OF
advancing the selfish ends of in
diyiduals. OF tue 1860 ballots cast
in the county at the last congress
sional election, there are known 10 be
at least 50I-HilPs vote when the
color line was drawn-uncompromls-
ingly opposed to the Democracy, and
whether there is any organized op-
position or not, this element. unas-
simulated and unchanged in its
antagonism 10 our party, will exer-
else Il potent influence in deciding
who shall fill the legislative amt
county offices for the next term. If,
too, they are true TO their past
practices and instincts, they will
on the most obJectioaa
Die candidates in the field, and, as
we have minated, with the best
element of the county divided and
voting for personal friends, will elect
them.
The policy of THE LEADER, and
that of large number with whom
we have conversed, is to have the
beat meetings we'll attended next
Saturday; allow no one tie participate
except known Democrats, or those
who will pledge themselves to
vote with the party; then appoint
representative meh in each beat to
come t. the convention aud nOmi-
nate from the best material availa-
bic, and if any candidate WHO calls
himself a Democrat will not abide
by the will of the people thus ex-
pressed, let him SHIFT tor himself
and meet the defeat at the polls
which he will so richly deserve.

JOHN L. CARNEY, young molder
of this city, has had an experience to
remember. Recently he went to Mis-
sissippi and was taken as a tramp
before an ignorant Judge. He was
fined, and then sent off to work on a
railroad as one Of a gang of convicts.
They we're put at work near a place
called Byhalia, and there, fed poorly
and crowded together at night like
rats, the poor white slaves, captured
by the authorities, died rapidly. A
gang of men were employed to dig
graves every Sunday. A young car.
penter from Wisconsin was beaten so
badly that be died; but there was no
investigation. 1t was with great diff
Guilty that Carney got opportunity to
communicate With bis father in this
city. Then his release was Effected
[St, Louis Chronicle, "a.
This is the tale Of tramp as repro.
duced by respectable journal. 1t is
altogether improbable, Molders do
not usually % to Mississippi looking
for work. Byhalia is in the county
next to Memphis, on the Mississippi
side. There are no fOundries IN North
Mississippi that we know of, though
there are machine shops at Water
Valley. If Mr.. Carney was treated as
a tramp, it was because of his own
conduct. Able bodied men can always
get something to do in this part Of the
country when they are willing to
work.
