A TEST.

What would you dc, ;" asked the fireman black,
of the gIiuy engineer,
III suddenly upon the track
a woman should appear
And suppose you were running little behind,
With your gauge chock up to II
And the woman was deaf and dumb and blind,
And couldn't hear whistle or bell.
"DoI cried the grimy engineer,
With look of cold disdain;
"pd get out there and leave you here
To take your chance with the trainl
I'd straighten out on that pilot plate,
And that woman would snatch
Before she knew whether we were freight,
Express wild or dispatchl''
''Thst," said the fireman, 81 call gamep'
And he shoyeled in the coal,
And wondered If he'd do the same
In q similar kind OF hole.
And the headlight cast a long, thin stream
Through the night of dismal black,
When suddenly there came the scream
Of woman on the track
'Jumpr' shrieked the fireman. There she
goes"
Bnt the engineer sat still,
And a woman's sorrows, joys and woes
Were taken like pill.
Why didn't you out on the pilot plate?
That was the place for you'll
Why didn't you try TO avert her fate,
AS you boosted you would do?''
"My friend" said the engineer,
With an apologize cough,
THAT woman knew but trouble here,
And now she's better off.
Besides, by grinding her to hash,
good fat thing draw,
The road will pay five thousand cash,
And she wes-my mOther-in-law."

THE DELTA LEVEES.
what the Mississippi Press Says About
abe Necessity for q Called Meeting of
The Legislafure-A Failure TO Do so
May Entail Great Loss to Planters.

The Columbus Dispatch says: "We have
not raised our voice on the subject of a
called session of the Legislature to consider
the wants of the people in the Overflow dis
trict,' because we believed their needs would
have proper consideration and attention,
and their rights the recognition due them.
1t seems we we're mistaken, and that the
force Of popular opinion will alons avail
to move in the matter. AS we have a right
to cur opinion we propose to speak can-
didiy in behalf Of the interests Of that suf-
fering section of our State, and as far as our
individual opinion goes toward making up
general sentiment, we declare it 10 be in
favor of yielding to the pressing demasd for
relief by legislation to the Yszoo Delta.
Opportunity will soon pass, and we bslieve
IT the duty OF that portion OF the press, who
think as we do, TO come promptly to their
rescue. Whether we influence action or not,
it is nevertheless a duty to obey right
incentives, and we follow our conscience aud
judgment when we say our people and our
legislators should not withhold from this dis.
tressed section their rights. The principal
Obi 'ctions we have heard urged by the OPP
ponsnts of an extra session sre that the
people declared in favor of biennial sessions,
ard that the State would BE- put to much ex-
pense by an extra session. A healthy senti-
ment abolished annual sessions and saved
the State much money. But the same au-
thorilies provided the people with the means
OF Immediate relief at any time, on any SD,
preme demand, by the exception in favor of
sessions when the Governor thought the &C.
cssion required. If the Governor fails to
see the dsmsnd it is possible it does not ex-
ist, hui in the meantime the laymen can talk
their views until he speaks. There is no
force in the argument that the people de-
clared in favor of biennial sessions, for they
Immediately provided for just such emer-
gencies ss we now have btfose us, and in
fact biennial sessions would have been i'm
possible without this con ingent remedy in
certain cases. As to the expense to
the State, we must remember our regular
sessions are an expense, and much more 40
tn An the called session can probably be. 1t
is absurd TO argue against holding sessions of
the Legislature becsEse they are expensive
to abolish our Legislature because it is ex-
pensive? 1t must be viewed a necessary
or,l 1t least, for must have laws. The
occasion is public need. Ths-eoossinn now
is public need. Who will view the Yazoo
Delta in It's extent OF fertility; who will ex-
anime the Auditors reports over number
OF years, and not see that the territory em-
bracsd and the tax income derived does not
constitute this public demand-a general
need? 1t ia Too palpsble a fact to be ignored,

had ever formed the subject of secret CORE
