The action of Gov. Lowry, in re-
fusing to approve the bill enacted by
the Legislature of this State Tor the
supervision of railroads seems to
give general satisfaction. His Excel
lency justly holds that it is unconsti-
tutional in many of its clauses. BY
his veto, no matter What reasons in
fiuenced him, he has carried out the
views of the progressive and wide
awake element Of our people, those
who are in favor of building up the
State rather than retarding its growth.
Ii our Governor will now veto the
unconstitutional, unjust and redicu-
lous free pass bill which will soon
come before him, he will raise him
self very high in the estimation of
the people. CofeeoiHe Tins.

GRANT is for Logan. Arthur was
one of the 3O6 who stood by Grant
Jocks0n NjSSissjppjan.
And so was Logan. There was
this difference however in the matter
of the support of Grant by the two
men. Logan was Grant man per
SC, while Arthur was simply a hench-
man and hacker Of Conkling, and
would have been as ready to follow
his leader into the Garfield or Sher-
man camp as to stand by him in his
adherence to his first love. We do
not know that Grant is a supporter of
Logan, but we do know that Logon
has claims upon Grant, Conkling and
Cameron that are far more substan-
tial and binding, in partisan sense,
than any that can be urged by the
gentleman who drew the highest
prize in "the lottery of Assassination"

WE believe from the manifestations we
witnessed last fall in the River Counties
that the great majority of colored Re-
publicans, favor the nomination OF Gen.
Logan at Chicago; but we doubt wheth-
Ell this sentiment can find means of ex>
preston in convention, for Arthur
appears to have captured the machine
men and convention fxers OF both races,
80 Logan has little army OF Federal
officials to overcome ere he can reach
the Republican masses who IRE his
friends and supporters.
We have no doubt that be ought to
have the Republican delegation from
Mississippi, but the outlook does not fa-
vor his fortunes at present.

A STATE FEMALE COLLEGE

We heartily endorse the views ex-
pressed by Mrs. Annie G. Peyton, of
Hazlehurst, in communication pub
lished in the Clarion of the 9th inst,
in advocacy of State Female Col
lege. We have ever since the war
been a stalwaat advocate of the policy
of extending equal facilities to the
races who dwell side by side in Mis-
sissippi, in all matters pertaining to
educational Advancement, and de-
manded for them both free schools
separate of course-fron the first
Legislature that assembled at Jack
son after the surrender, and now that
our girls appeal to the law makers
for such higher educational provision
as has been long accorded to the
boys, we hope the Legislature will
grant it. We cannot see why the
boys of Mississippi should be given
free collegiate advantages at public
expense, while the girls who aspire
to mount beyond the rudiments are
forced to pay their own way up the
higher rounds.
To be sure the doors of the State
University and Agricultural College
have by action of their Trustees been
thrown open to girls, but then many
parents are averse to the system of
"co-education of the sexes" and in
addition to this objection it must be
apparent to all that the course of
study and school regimen best suited
to the young men who attend the
University is not exactly adapted to
the other sex, and, in the language
of Mrs. Peyton, cit does not furnish
training in practical pursuits whereby
women may earn livlihood."
1t is not necessary in the practical
Inauguration of this scheme that the
State shall incur large expenditure,
for number of excellent College
buildings are available that could be
leased for a term of four or five years
at moderate rental-if we are not
mistaken such building can be OBJ
tanned upon reasonable terms in our
neighboring city, Columbus, and if
the State entered upon the expert
ment in this way, merely providing
for the rent of the building, the en-
ployment of the teachers, furnishing
the school rooms, etc, the scheme
would be afforded fair trial until
the next meeting of the Legislature.
If we had such an institution the
several counties would of course be
entitled to representation in its ad-
vantages in proportion to population,
and these scholarships could be
granted as prizes to the girls in the
common schools, or given as awards
IN competitive examinations.
The experiment ought to be tried.
Give the girls fair chance in the
struggle for education's highest hon

CoRINTH, MISSISSIPPI


The Governor comes squarely out
in favor of railroad supervision, thus
verifying the prediction of The Post.
Here is the official pronunciamento-
the platform upon which the next
battle in this State is to be fought:
at will be seen that my objection
to this bill extends to its unconstitu-
tional features, and it is fortunate for
the cause Of railroad supervision that
these have been discovered thus early
while there is yet time for their elm
nation and the passage Of another
bill. We are pledged to the super
vision of corporations of every de-
scription within constitutional limits
in the interest and for the protection
of the people, and the time has come
when this pledge is to be redeemed"
Vscksbrg Pot
The extract which the Post makes
from the Governors veto message, is
qualified in a very material sense, in
the same paragraph, and instead of
showing that our Executive is a pro-
nounced supervislonist it places him
upon the highest conservative
grounds in regard to that subject, i
it does not stamp him as absolutely
opposed to interfering with the rail-
roads at all. Here is the remainder
of the paragraph, which the Post
failed to reproduce in connection
with its editorial:
"But l impress upon you that leg
islation on this subject should be fair
and equitable else it will receive the
instant condemnation of the people of
Mississippi. Our people are just and
intelligent. They are wide-awake and
in full accord with the progressive
spirit which has caused such mar
Vicious regeneration of our country
that it is known to-day as the New
South. They heartily favor the
building of railroads and the full de-
velopment of our material resources.
They cordially invite the investment
Of capital among us under guaranty
Of ample. legal and constitutional
protection. This is a practical, bust
ness question which the people will
expect you solve in a practical bust
ness way, without throwing unneces-
sary or veXatious restriction around
railroads and their management, or at
all retarding the building of these
great modern highways. The attempt
to control the property Of another by
stranger, even where the right ex-
lists, naturally excites CONSERVATION
and alarm. Let us see to it that the
pearl chain of moderation shall run
through all our Legislation on this
delicate subject, SO that no uneasiness
or anxiety shall be felt by the man in
New York who has invested all his
capital in railroads in Mississippi.
Let us understand that the people of
Mississippi only desire fair and rea-
sonable bill which will be satisfactory
to the public and just to the railroads,
and that we would outstrip him in the
condemnation of a bill of any other
character.

The German Complication.

In referring to possible compiled
tons with Germany growing out of
the return of the Lasker resolution
of coincidence by Bismark, the Wash-
ington Post INDUCES in the following
spread eagle twaddle:
"In the event of difficulty it is
held that an alliance could be formed
with France in twenty four hours, and
either ships procured or an arrange
ment made for troops to be sent at
the expense of this Governments"
The author of that paragraph
hardly realizes the fact that of all the
things in the world that France most
breads at the present time, is q war
with Germany without powerful
European allies; and that if it was
possible for her to commit the in
comprehensive folly of forming a
trans Atlantic alliance against her
hereditary enemy, Germany could
precipitate half u million men upon
her soil before her transports with
their protecting iron clads were well
on the way across the ccean.
No, if Germany or even Japan sees
fit to insult us we must pocket the
affront as gracefully or disgracefully
as We have worn the cudgelings of
Spain, thanks to twenty four years
of Republican rule that have left the
country without navy that can even
command the respect of Hayti; with.
out frIgate that can hazard collision
with ferry boat
If the United States could to day
boast dozen first class naval vessels
that would be able to protect her
ports from the attack of the feet of
a fourth class naval power like Ger
many, she could afford to declare
war against her when insulted, and
send to sea a swarm of improvised
wot den cruisers to prey upon her
commerce; but under present cir
cumstances she can only protest and
whine, and "tarry in Jericho till her
beard grows" 1t would be in keep
ing with the character OF her present
rulers to buster little, if it was not
for the fact that in dealing with Bis.
merck she would find an antagonist
who cannot stand any nonsense of
that kind. In fact nothing would
suit Germany half as much at the
present time as war with the Uni
ted States, for it would give her
rare opportunity to gain what she
has never yet enjoyed, naval renown,
and to gain it cheaply. 1t would
grandly round up Bismark's career
to lombard New York, Galveston,
New Orleans and San Francisco.

W ny an Eastern Manufactures is
In Favor Of Free Trade.

A prominent Eastern manufacturer
in conversation with Southern Sena-
tor a few days ago rather startled him
by the remark" l have at last after
thorough consideration of the matter
determined to advocate free trade in
all kinds of manufactured goods"
"Why have you come to that de-
termination" asked our astonished
friend.
"By course Of reasoning that is
very simple and eminently practical"
was the reply. "a careful study Of
the statistics of the country,and of the
products and freight facilities of the
various States and sections convinces
me that under the fostering influence
of protection we will in a few years
nurse your Southern factories into
such healthy growth that they will
far outstrip us in every particular,
and not only capture the home mar
ket but absolutely usurp the little
foreign trade we now control. To
meet this impending and inevitable
outgrowth of the present order Of
things, am in favor of free trade,
for this in my opinion will turn the
tables upou your people"

Senator.

"The manufacturers of the East have
accumulated vast capital and extern
sive factory plants, They are sur
sounded by villages of skilled work.
men who must seek employment in
their mills no matter how stubbornly
they may at first resist reductions in
wages, and while free trade would
reduce our profits very materially we
could still make fair percentage on
our Investments and would not be
harassed by new establishments con |
tinually sprlnging up around us, and
would be relieved to some extent by |
the suspension of the weaker organi-
cations. On the other hand, the ain !
FAINT industries" of the South that are |
now being nursed by "protection,"
would be strangled in their youth,
and the general tendency to erect
cotton, wooden and other mills all
over your section, that now gives us
such good cause for uneasiness would
rapidly subside, and your people
would retire into their shells again,
as it were, and devote their capital
and wonderful recuperative energies /
to agriculture and stock raising ex-
clusively, thus contributing to cheap
ening living in the East while they
withdraw from mill competition and
give US our old control Of the home
market for fabrics.
"If we continue under the present
protective system for five years longer
your people will capture manutactu.-
ing control Of the country, and will
be SO strong in money and machinery,
in addition to contiguity to cheap
raw material, that we will have to
chose between quitting the drive"
altogether, Or moving our mills to the
South. Satisfied with my deductions
and conclusions, | am henceforth an
advocate Of free trade, absolutely
and unequivocally, IN all manufac-
lures from cotton, wool and IRON"

An esteemed patron of the ExAMI-
NER writing from Starkville, heartily
endorses our suggestion in recent
issue in regard to CO. operative Life
Insurance Associations, and submits
number of admirable hints in ref
erence to the details of organization
which we would cheerfully accept
but for the fact that they would take
from the plan its distinctive local
feature, and place it upon the expen
sive and general basis of Insurance
Companies organized upon the usual
mutual system.
What we would have, is this: Such
an organization as might be inau.
gurated at town meeting, by a
pledge something like the following
being prepared and signed:
We the undersigned citizens of
--, county Of, State of
Mississippi, do hereby covenant and
agree that upon the death ofany one
of the signers of this obligation, we
will each and every one of us pay
into the hands Of, who is Only
authorized and empowed by MS to
collect the same, tbs sum OF one dol
lar for the benefit of the lawful heirs
of such deceased signer, and ten
cents to defray the costs and COM
missions incident to such collection,
within thirty days from notice OF
such death, and that upon failure to
make such payment within the time
prescribed we agree to surrender all
rights and claims we may have upon
our fellow signers, and shall not be
eligible to reinstatement in the AS
sociation within period of three
months, and only then upon the
payment Of all past dues.
We would make these associations
strictly and absolutely local in their
character, limiting the membership
to towns or at the f4rthest extent
to counties, so MS to make the col.
lections sasy and inexpensive; retain
the money at home, and while the
total sum recovered might be small
in many instances,jts payment would
be expeditions and the poorest and
humblest citizen would feel assured
of leaving some provision for his de
pendent survivors.
We would dispense with the
formula aud cost of medical exami~
nation, simply requiring that the app
plicant for membership should be in
ordinarily good health and capable
of earning living and paying Lis or
her assessments.
We would not fix meximum age
for applicants, but would receive
persons far advanced in life if they
were strong and healthy; for we have
noticed that death, in our communi-
ty at least, oftener strikes down the
Young and hopeful than those who
have counted the mile stones that
mark the years Of long journey.
We would admit to membership |
children above the age of ten years
when reputed to be of good health,
whose assessments were guaranteed .
by their parents.
In short we believe that it is in
the power of every community to
effect cheap organization for life
