INSTRUCTED AND NOT INSTRUCTED

The delegates elected to !he State
Democratic Convention we're not in-
structed definitely as to the casting
of their votes in said convention,
but still there is a saving clause in
the proceedings of the mass meet
ing which delegated to them the
authority to vote. They are ex-
pected to reflect the sentiments of
the people of JACKSON county, and
will be held responsible for any
failure to do so. In fact such is
the duty of every delegate, wheth-
er SO instructed or not. He who
represents "a county in a State Con.
vention undertakes to represent
the sentiment of that county's ma
jorlty. If he fails to do this, will
fully OF by reasOn of careless in
difference, he virtually robs his
county of her voice aud vote and
deserves the condemnation of that
people. There are no Lamars in this
cOunty|s delegation who can afford
to disregard the wishes of bis con.
stituency. Each mans action will
be watched and accounted to him
for good or evil, as the case may
be, and woe be unto the recreant
one.
1t is one thing TO be intrusted
with entire discretion to act upon
ones own Judgment tor another,
butt is altogether a different thing
to act as the mouth-piece or med
ium to express the wishes of that
other. This is just the attitude of
u delegates, and they have not
the semblance of ii right to vote
for the man of their choice, as del
egates, unless they are satisfied
that their choice is, also, the choice
of the county's majority, whether
they are instructed or not. 4 mans
acceptance of such an office is
equivalent to an agreement, based
upon honor, that he will endeavor
to cast the peoples vote,

Col. A. G. HORN, OF the Nerd
iau Mercury, has add essed a petit
ton to President Cleveland, asking
for the removal of the political disa-
bilities of Hon. Jefferson Davis.
He says MI. Davis "great military
and civic services, rendered to a
country now happily at peace in all
its borders, make a silent appeal to
The nation Tor this too long defer
red expression of maguanimity,"
aud adds 81 do not know that Mr..
Davis wants any friend to do this
for him. / only know that l want
1t done, and in conformity with my
undisputed right | ask It,"
While We fully appreciate the
spirit in which Col. Horn has set
this movement on foot, we are Ger.
tainly not inclined TO the opinion
that it will demonstrate more clear
ly the magnanimity OF our people.
The disability of Mr.. Davis is not
at all in his way, and only remains
a harmless brand with all Of honor
naught of stain or discredit. We
feel sure Mr.. Davis is not in the
least ashamed Of it, or especially
DESTROYS of shaking it of.

LAST Monday the Supreme Court
OF Mississippi virtually settled, so
far as that court is concerned, the
question of railroad supervision.
The decision is to the effect that
the State is competent to make a
Contract, and is bound by the terms
of Il contract by charter OF a rail
road company. That If such a
charter be granted by the terms of
winch the directors OF such com.
pany are allowed to fix the rate of
charges Tor freight and passengers,
moi TO exceed certain rates therein
specified, that the commissioners
have 10 right TO Interfere so long
as that contract is complied with
aud such rates not exceeded. The
Court Said further, that in case Il
maximum rate Of charges is not
specified in snch charter, bat a bare
right granted TO fix the rare, that
there is a tacit agreement that such
charges will be reasonable, aud that
any unreasonable charges would be
Il matter within the jurisdiction Of
Il supervisory commission.

A Bad Subject.

Colonel Mateland was recently
appointed agent of a well-known
life insurance company. The high
standing of the Colonel and his ex-
ceilent qualifications as business
man immediately secured for him
g remunerative run of business.
The other day. while sitting in hi.
office, healihylooking man enter
ed and said that he would like to
have his life Insured. Il am in a
hurry" said he "for my friends are
waiting for me at the door. | want
a $4,000 policy"
The company's physician, who
was present, pronounced him sound,
and the policy was soon made out.
Several days later friend met the
Colonel ia the street and said:
"What business did young Blu.
mus have with you the other day ?"
Had his life insured"
"And you insured it?"
"Of course. Why shouldn't /?
He is in good health"
But | believe he will die sudden
ly."
I'VE have an eminent physician
to decide upon such possibilities.
What makes you think he will die
suddenly ?"
"Oh, it's nothing to me, Colonel.
If your physician knows, all right.
The young fellow requested that he
be allowed to go out and settle up
his private affairs, and the Judge
granted it."
The Judge!' gasped the Colonel.
"Yes, the Circuit Judge. You see

Cuzco. the ancient capital of the
old Inca Empire Of Peru is situated
high up among the Andes, at q point
SO elevated that, although under
the tropics, is has the climate and
products Of the temperate zone. 1t
still has many remains of Inca archi-
lecture, distinguished for its massive
ness, which are likely to endure for
centuries to come. On a hill, or
eminence, nearly thousand feet
high, overlooking the city, are the
remains of the great Inca fortress OF
the Sas sa-hua- man, in the storming
of which Juan Pizarro. the brother
of the conqueror of Peru, vas slain.
This fortress was built of gigantic
stones, or rather rocks, aud their
great size and the accuracy with
which they are fitted together aston
ish all who see them.
In front of this fortress is Curl
Gus, dome-shaped mass of rock, call
ell the Rp da-dero. and sometimes
also La Piedra Lisa, or smooth
rock" because It's convex surface Is
grooved. as if the rock had been
squeezed up, while in a plastic state,
between irregular and unyielding
walls, and then hardened into shape.
A N ass OF dough, forced up under
the outspread hands, would give
something of the same appearance
in miniature. But the hollows of
the grooves on the Peruvian hill are
smooth and CLASSY. 1t is said in
the old chronicles and traditions,
thot the Inca youth, long years ago
amused themselves by coursing, or
sliding through these .,polished
grooves on festival days and holy
days; and this custom is still prac-
ticed by the modern youth of Cuzco.
There is one advantage. and it Is
great one, too, which these boys
possess over the northern boys, who
live in the land of ice and snow, and
that is, it is not necessary for them
to toll up long and slippery hill,
dragging after them their heavy
sleds, which grow heavier with ev-
cry step they take, SO that the lon
ger they ride the harder work it is
to get back to the starting place.
The Cuzco boy sits down at the top
of the rock in one of the grooves,
and with a slight start. away he goes
with all the speed imaginable, until
he reaches the bottom, sanding in
scft bed of earth then he picks
himself up, runs around to an easy
place of ascent, and is up again in a
minute to repeat his ride.-S. Nich-
olOs.
