The Supervision Bill.

Surprise is being expressed that the
Railroad Supervision Bill that passed
the House ON Monday night of last
week, has not yet been heard from in
the Senate. 1t must be remembered
that the Senate was not in session
two days last week, and that other i'm.
portant questions had been made special
orders in that body We understand
that the friends of the measure, in the
Senate, will move to make it special
order for Friday next, Its considera-
ton should certainly not be longer de.
layed. 1t is the one measure, above all
others, in which the people feel a deep
interest, and If, by any possibility this
Legislature shall disappoint their ex.
pectations, 1t is the one question that
must remain in the front until IL is de.
cided substantially in the form that 1t
passed the House. We believe the Sen.
ate will pass the bill, and that il will be
approved and become a law. As the
Picayune remarked at is q good bill, as
far as IL goes" and it goes far enough
for the present.

Remarks Of Mr.. Murry on the Bill
to Repeal the Equalization Law.

When the bill was under consideration
by the House 20 repeal the law Of 1882,
creating Boards of Equalization, Mr.. Muir.
~ said he wished 20 express not only
his views, but also the wishes Of those who
sent him here and in reply to the gentle
man from Lafayette (Mr. Baker, who
claimed that the question had been thor.
oughly ventilated and explained in his
county, and assumed that this had not
been done in other counties, otherwise they
would have sent Representatives here TO
oppose tho bill, he would state that this
question was fully discussed in the late
canvass and is well understood by the
people OF Benton and Tippah coun-
ties, and that at least nine out of every
ten Of the voters Of these counties are in
favor Of this measure, and as far as his in
formation extended these views are held by
thelpeople all over the State, and that, too,
after they have deliberately and maturely
considered the question.
he objected 10 the law that the bill
sought to repeal because il created one
thousand eight hundred and fifty salaried
offices, who were nothing more than use.
less appendages, doing no good, and Great.
ing dissatisfaction, and even strife, in
many places among the people. He hoped
the bill would pass,

Stock Guards and Railroads.

EDIroRs CLARION: Tho effect of the late
decision Of the Supreme Court in regard
to stock guards, being one of public inter
est, an urgent demand has been made for
legislation to protect the largo interest in
volved in il.
Railroad interest il now attempting to
draw attention Oft from the true position
in which this decision has placed the pro
prietors of land in regard to rights OF way,
by porverting 1t from one of public inter
est to that of more personal consideration,
and suggest fences ms the remedy. Law
Ia intended TO protect the weak against the
strong, and pdblic policy demands that
those great corporations should be com
PEELED to use their privileges so rs not to
abuse the rights of others.
Tho Legislature should not be de
ceived by the proposition simply
requiring the railroads to fence their right
of way, IA il will not only fail TO give the
relief asked for, but will make the matter
worse, as such law would confer the abb
solute right to the railroad TO prevent a
proprietor of crossing the road from one
part of his land to the other, divided by
railroad, but should the corporation be dis
posed TO act more lenlently and permit
gates to be put up on each side of the road
IL would take three hands to safely drive
COW or other stock from one side to the
other, one to stand ON each side OF the pass
way, and one TO drive. Again, tho tramps
who infest these rights Of way, would leave
the gates open, stock would be killed, and
the road not only claim exemption from
responsibility, but demand damages from
the owner for not keeping his gates
closed, Nothing short of experience
will give correct idea OF the numerous
unavoidable troubles and annoyances which
proprietor is subject to, through whose
land railroad passes, and to which, IL be
added the deprivation of the long and uni
versal custom of stock guards and crossings
his situation would become unbearable and
the ownership of his lands worthless.
