ETERNAL TRUTH.

says: "The phenomenal character Of
the present Winter, held forth by me
now for the past six months, seems
about being verified. Further, the red
or ruddy tint in the sky-concerning
which so much explanation has been
attempted-seems, to my way of reas-
oning, to indicate terms of unusual
warmth during the last portion Of
December and much of January. Yes,
even Summer warmth in mid Winter.
But March and April win probably
give US the cold and snow lacking
through the first half of the Winter

ANOTHER WHITE EXPLANATION
Friday, December 2Sth, Mr.. Adam
Forepaugh received telegram from
his curiosity collector in Algiers, say
ing he could purchase white elephant
for 10000, whereupon Mr.. Forepaugh
instructed him to make the purchase
forthwith. This will be sad news for
Mr.. P. T. Barnum, but such is the fate
of the show business.

slant and persuasive sermon in the

OF the parish priest and his Gu

County Superintendent Of Education

Our nelghbor Of the New Mississip-
plan hits the nail on the head when it
contends for the right Of the people TO
elect their County Superintendents Of
Education. The people are about as
apt to know who will suit them in this
responsible Office as board Of gentle
men in Jackson. The Office Is growing
in Importance, and the best men are
needed for the place. 1t is a non-polit.
ical Office, but complaints are now and
then heard that it is an Office made use
of to advance political interests.
Mr.. Hoyle has already introduced a
bill calculated TO bring about remedy
for this possible evil. There should be
a complete divorce between the politi-
cal aspirations Of men and the educa
tional interests Of our children. The
official who would procure vote fol
his party by granting a certificate to ar
applicant to teach, or by Withholding it
is unfit for his Office, and Legislation
ought TO be provided for such prostitu
ton Of official place.

The Public Printing.

THE CLARION has had very little TO
say on this subject. Its proprietor IL
content TO leave the matter 10 the inves-
tigation Of the capable Committees Of the
Legislature and to the wisdom Of that
body. We have the satisfaction Of being
able TO state that the average annual cost
Of the printing has been less since our
connection with II than at any time In
the previous twenty-five years, and we
cheerfully admit that in several classes
Of work q still further reduction can be
made and saving thus effected without
entering upon the experiment Of letting
the work out to the lowest bidder under
the direction of Board Of Printing
Commissioner.
From the many expressions Of the
press in opposition to that proposition
we copy the following
American Citizen.
The Meridian Observer, VicksburR Her.
aid and some other prominent Mississippi
journals are urging the abolition OF the
Office Of State Printer, and the letting of
the commonwealth printing TO the lowest
bidder. This question, like most others,
has two sides We favor the election Of
State Printer by the Legislature, whose
members will have n number OF good men
10 choose frop, and we doubt that any inn
provement in the public service would be
made by change from the present very
worthy and conscientious incumbent OF the
Office. The "lowest bidder" plan some
times cuts backward, like boomerang,
and in many instances results in sending
the work out of the State, and deprives
home mechanics of their daily labor, fore
ing them to seek support for themselves
and families In other communities. Let
the State work OF Mississippi be done in
Mississippi, and IL all things are equal. at
the Capital.
