Holmes County and the Levee Bill

EDITOR CLARION; In reference to the
brief report that see in your paper of the

DR., Henry Christmas, OF course say this
without the slightest reflection upon the Of
forts of Messrs. Dyer and Warfield, the lat.
- whom is man Of cultured mind and
rn7Je an able defense Of his side of the
question. But DR.. Christmas, the prime
'-pvor in the Holmes county delegation.
made not only an earnest but able and
eloquent speech in behalf of excluding
Holmes from the operation of the Senate
bill. Having listened attentively to all the
speeches pro and con in this matter, as an
outsider intently desiring to vote intelh.
gently in the matter, know that you will
permit me to set right before the public OF
Holmes and the State, the course of one Of
the most thoughtful, conservative and in
telligent members on the floor Of the House.

II may have been impoli,ic to announce
tho doctrine of supervision of corpora
tons as an issue, and place it in tho Dem
ocratic platform, as was done by the State
Convention in 1877. 1t may have been a
very short-sighted policy 10 reiterate the
doctrine in 1891, but this also was done by
the representatives Of the party in conven.
ton assembled. The attention of the peo-
pie was thus directed to this question; the
press has been active in instructiing them
on the subject and our public men have
agitstod it until the issue has become one
OF paramount Importance, and overshad-
ows all Others. The unjust exactions and
determinations practiced by the railroads
have by these means become so apparent;
the necessity for protection against these
great wrongs 50 urgent and the people
have become so thoroughly aroused, that
nothing short of supervision that will
supervise the corporations will suffice to
remove this question from our politics, and
the Democratic party must do it, or it will
be forced to surrender the government TO
some other party that will comply with the
demand of the taxpayers of the State.

The Governor has vetoed tho Railroad
Supervision Bill, and in doing so, he has
assigned the very best reasons to sustain
his objections. He points out conclusive,
ly in several instances where tho provisions
of the bill are clearly unconstitutional.
One provision of the bill is a direct blow
at assessors and tax collectors. The Gov
ernor is undoubtedly correct in urging this
obisction to the bill, and the position he
assumes in this respect, being sustained by
decision of the Supreme Court Of this
State, places his objection to the bill in
question beyond controversy.
