Editor Vicksburg Commercial Herald:
| ask the courtesy of your space for q
brief comment on the speech of Mr.. Boil,
Of Lauderdale, which appears in the
Commercial Herald to day, prefaced, as
the same is, by the usual unkind refer
ence to myself.
Mr.. Bell states that sit was not Col
Powers generosity that prompted him to
make reduction of twenty per cent on
present prices, but the result of Law
| that passed the house Monday" do
not suppose that Mr. Bell would inten-
tionally misrepresent even in a matter
| in which he displayed such intense zeal.
do not claim any special generosity in
| the matter, but do state emphaticallv
that the reduction of twenty per cent
would not have been made without nv
consent. The Senate Printing Com.
mittee had rejected the low-bidder bill,
and passed a substitute making a gen.
eral reduction of Is per cent. When il
came up in the House several gentlemen
on Mr.. Bells side of the question re-
marked that they had guarantee that
the work could be done for D per cent. |
less. | was sitting next to Mr.. William
son, of Cgrroll, and asked him to amend |
the Senate bill to make it 20 per cent,
which was done and the same was adopt
ed. then asked friends in the Senate to /
meve concurrence, which was done. 7
therefore claim some credit; at least / |
deny having been prompted" as set forth
by DIR. Bell. Every member of the House
Printing Committee will bear me out in
the statement that at an early day in
the session | suggested reduction of
about Is per cent in prices, and to apply
to all work done since January LIST. The
House Committee adopted q bill To
this effect, as did the Senate afterwards.
DIR. Bell intimates that / should not
have taken advantage of my election to
stand in the way of his pet bill. The
Printing Committee In each house was !,
opposed to his bill, and certainly was ,
and | cannot appreciate the force Of bis
objection to my opposition. Had his | /
bill become law, was ready to sur- {

WHEN the decision of the Federal Court
at Nashville declaring the Railroad Com
mission act unconstitutional was pub
Iished,. many persons feared that an at
tack on all the existing State commission
would follow. So far we do not see any
Indication of it. The commissions pro-
vided by the laws of Arkansas, South Car
DINA, Iowa, Mississippi, Maine, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, New Jersey. New York, Ohio,
Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and
Wisconsin, have no control over railway
rates. They are merely arbitrator to set
tie differences between complaining par
ties and the companies, have large powers
of inspection and exposure OF abuses. In
some cases they aid citizens in prosecuting
claims against roads not disposed to listen
to reason and moderate counsels. These
commissioners are not obnoxious 10 the
railroad compan es. 1t is only those that
have power 10 regulate rates, as those OF
this State, Alabama, California, Georgia,
Illinois, Kansas and Kentucky. Eventually
the laws under which they act will be
shorn of their objectionable features, and
they will be assimiated to that of Mas
sachusetts, where the commissioners duty
has been managed so skillfully that there
has not been a single case in the Supreme
Court of the State between a railroad and
citizen, for several years.-Memphis Ap-
peal.
The Appeal is in error as to the law
of this State, but it does not follow that
commissions will be obnoxious because
they are authorized to fix and regulate
rates To grant this would be to grant
that they propose to abuse their power.
Commissions are created not to antago
nize railroads, but to keep them in due
bounds, and indeed to reconcile the APP
parently conflicting but really Identical
interests of the railroads and the PEG

The state College for Girls.


In the discussion of the Girls College
bill, though great differences existed as
to the adYisability of such an institution,
and also as to the propriety Of the State
undertaking it now, or till she had hrst
rendered her coz mon school system
more efficient, there was no difference In
the sentiment that the girls should be
educated. The contest as to the estab-
lishment of the college is over now, It
having been decided to build and equip
a college for girls with the industrial de-
partment special feature. Let all hands
now unite in making success Of the
enterprise. The first important step Is
the matter of location. 1t will be noted
that in the selection of site, the trustees
are required ''to look to the convenience
of the people of every section of the
State" and that the place "must be
known to be healthy and free from an
nual epidemics." The next very i'm
portant step is the selection of a good
faculty, which should be composed
mostly of ladies who shall be thorough
ly proficient in the literary and indus
trial studies to be pursued. The salaries
should be such as to secure the very best
talent.
Let every citizen give the institution
that moral countenance and support
that is so essential to its tone and sue
cess. Let us throw around in the hearts
of the people a regard and love for Its
honor and good name that will guard it
from any attempt at derogation or effort
to iniure. Let it be 4 school to which
our young girls may go to improve them
selves in knowledge of the useful
sciences and arts, as well as the opportu
nifty to pursue the ordinary academic
course and inform themselves upon
general topics. At the same time, let
our people everywhere, and our educat-
ors and parents especially, do all in their
power to promote the common schools,
the home schools, so necessary to those
who can never go to this or other higher
institutions, and equally necessary to the
foundation work of those who are so
fortunate. Every man and every woman
can do something to make more efficient
the school in their immediate neighbor-
hood and Tins aid in KING the schools
of the State better, and contributing
indirectly even to the success of this
very school. Success, say We, to the
Girls College.

Gov. HoADLEY, of Ohio, has designated
Friday, April 18th, as Arbor Day in that
State, when all the people are expected to
engage in planting forest trees. Other
States might proftably engage in the sam,
business, thus making provision for re-
placing the forests So rapidly being de
nuded.-Meridian Observer.
The example might well be followed
in our own State. If one day in every
year were set apart for the whole popu-
Iation to put at least one tree where it
will do the most good, the beneficial
effects would very soon be seen. Though
we do not suffer from any immediate
danger to our forests, still it is well to
begin to preserve them in time, but the
first Improvement would be seen in our
villages and cities. Where now are
treeless streets, would soon be shaded
avenues conducive at once to comfort,
beauty and health.
