SHERMAN ON DECK.

Associated Press this morning that all
this talk about Gen. Sherman not being
q candidate is humbug.
Col. L. M. Dayton, Of Cincinnati, who
was the generals personal and most con-
fidential staff officer in this city, and who
has been circulating extensively among
she members of the loyal legion and Of
whom there are great number in the
city, said be knew that General Sherman
had never penned any such dispatch, as
it was rumored he bad done, saying that
he would not serve as president of the
United States even though he was nomi.
mated. The position is this: Gen. Sher-
idan has attained the highest honors
which can be bestowed upon
any man by the American people and he
is aware of this. On tho contrary John
Sherman, while he has had great honors
bestowed upon him has seen honors be-
yond and above those which he has en-
joyed. As long as John Sherman was
in the field, or rather until he had react-
ed the fruition Of his ambition his
brother, the general, would not allow
even by implication his name to be pres.
cnted. used or whispered. Now it is
certain that John Sherman does not
stand the slighest chance OF being moro
than mentioned in this convention. At
this juncture the friends Of General Sher.

Senator Guyton on Free Passes.

Our notes of the remarks Of Senator
Guyton on the free pass question got mis-
placed He said in substance
The bill before the Senate now docs not
meet my full appreciation 1t is too com
prehensive. It includes officials who have
neither legislative nor judicial powers.
Nor is there any clamor or complaint of
the people against them. l am not pre-
pared to say that either the judicial or leg
islaiive departments Of the State has been
corrupted by the use of free patsep, but ]
am prepared to say that the officers OF
those departments are publicly known tc
use these papers. Railroad corporations
represent consolidated wealth. They re.
ceive their charters at the hands of the Leg
islature. These charters may contain
grants detrimental to the interest of Tn,
people. When the people observe theil
legislators with free passes in their pock
cts, they feel, and justly too, that they arr
in the attitude of litigants before a iury
and that the situation is the same as if thu
Jurors had received gift from the handl
Of one of the litigants. Perhaps if it wer,
known that jurors had received a gift b.
courtesy or otherwise, it would be suiIicien
cause to set aside the verdict. The sam,
principle applies to the judicial depart
ment of the State. The people feel tina
they labor under sufficient disadvantage
when they are brought into court to con
tend with such consolidated wealth as j
represented in railroad corporations, Blu
they feel still worse prejudice when thei
indOaa hava in their pOcket n frne ms
from the very company with whom the,
are contending at law. Whether this Gus
tom of the officials of these department
using free passes is corrupting or not, i
strikes me that craftsmanship would die
tate that any legislation that inspires tn
people with confidence, should meet wit
the approval of the Senate, and while tn
/ pending bill does not meet my approval
I shall vote for it unless can secure be.

Storm Sounds in a Telephone,

A correspondent of L'Ingenieur-CoR-
sell, signing himself with the initials
'E. B." occupied himself during the
violent thunder storm which occurred
at Brussels on juno so, in listening to
the storm sounds in the telephone wire.
During the height Of the storm there
was continuous noise, which could
only be compared to that of frying.
From time to time it would grow louder
sometimes there would be little pop
ping sound, like a bubble bursting
sometime the series of cracking noises
which follow the fall of drop of grease
on a red-hot iron plate. This last noise
came abruptly and loud with each fash
of lightning, and seemed to precede it.
The observer was satisfied that his ear
was surprised by the sound before his
eve was surprised by the flash. The
same noises were often produced when
there was no accompanying fash, but
then they were less Loud. The force
seemed to hare no connection with the
peals of thunder.

A Blue Day for the Democratic
Party,

II was blue day for the Democratic
party yesterday, not only in Ohio, but
throughout the country. Despite the in
dignant protest OF Mr.. Thurman, the
strongest foo of monopoly in the Demo
cratic ranks, the Standard Oil Company
nominated its Senator, Mr.. Payne, and the
candidate Of real reform, Mr.. Pendleton,
was not only defeated, but badly defeated.
Fifteen ont of eighty-two, or about eighteen
per cent Is the highest attainable proper
ton of strength for reform in the Demo
cracy. "l4et the rascals mn. Y. Times
II it was blue day for the "Demo-
cratic Party" it was black day for the
Republicans. ANY Democrat that the
Ohio Democracy might have chosen for
Senator to succeed Mr.. Pendleton, would
have elected the same remark from the
New York Times tits exceedingly diff
cult for tho Democratic party to elect
United States Senators who please the
Republican party, Mr. Payne seems to
have great popularity among the Ohio
Democracy, and getting such vote as
he did against such distinguished men
as Perdleton and Ward, shows that he
is man esteemed by his countrymen.
The best sign we sec for hope of turn.
ing outNtho vampires who have infested
the departments at Washington, cs
pecially the Treasury, is the satisfaction
with which Democrats greet the election
of their candidates, and the open ant
avowed dissatisfaction vita which the.
are received by Republicans.

Public versus Private Schools.
WATER VALLEY, Miss,
Jan. II, 1884.

jan. II, 1901.
EDITORS CLAH1oN--The public school
.ystem has almost destroyed all private
enterprise in education, and it behooTes
us to recognize this fact, and to do all
things necessary to make it 4 proper
substitute for the cid plan, and If pos
sible an improvement on it. For fifteen
years have labored with other old clti-
zens Of Water Valley in trying to de-
velop proper school system for the ris-
| ing generation. How far we have sue
ceeded, Gen. Smith, State Superintend-
ent of Education, and strangers who
have visited our schools can tell. We
have single graded school each for
whites and blacks, continuing ten
months in zach year-aversge attend
ance over four hundred-three hundred
white and one hundred colored. Our
city authorities assess aud collect on the
property of our town seven and a-half
mills on the dollar, and our people pay
it promptly and cheerfully. This, with
the distributive share from the State
and small amount from the Chicka-
saw fund annually, pays all expenses,
and enables us to employ ten teachers,
4 able. competent and jealous, whose
4 whole hearts and souls are in the work
+ Many persons are moving to our. towr
y to educate their children and seek en-
d ployment in our cotton mills, railroad
d shops, and other industrial works W.
have arrived at this condition of Affairs
by earnest cooperation on the part o.
the bulk of our leading citizens anC

months public school, and makeshif

Il to collect for them the amount they d
get for their short time. We levy it ant
ID collect it, and our people pay it, ant
lr our schools 60 on as above stated, unde
popular sentiment whether we hav

ct would it not be well in the interest Q
n the future Of the whole State, for th
To present Legislature to remove all doub
in and pass general law empowering th
IS. Board OF Aldermen of all towns, tn
same being separate school districts,
70 levy and collect annually tax on tn

a. education of the great masses. 70
Sd cannot make a finished scholar Of ever

soon for the State to provide by law f
