OUR entire sea-board is garrison ed by
the Radicals, yet. They hold all of the
eustOm-houses and lighthouses with a
few -exceptions. 1t is to be hoped that
there will be a general change in the new
fiscal year; which begins in July. These
light houses are the watch towers of the
enemy, and people are anxious to see them
occupied by friends, as they are to get
possession OF the p~ostofices.
The very first o on the part of the
Republicans when they cam6 into power,
was to turn out the lighthouse keepers
and put in their friends. That was a poll
tic move, and we commend the lesson to
Secretary Manning. aberdeen Examiner.
And there are several other more
important sea board offices that
also remain intact, aud demand at.
tention from Mr.. Naming. They
have all been "weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting" in the
elements necessary to hold Office
under a Democratic administration.
We teel assured, therefore, that
they will be removed soon, but if
Mr.. Manning can find cases more
urgent we will try and be patient
awhile longer, but we pity those
eases.

Two UNFRIENDLY felines were perched

the heat of passion, their spinal columns
were elevated to too high an attitude

resultant precipitation into the liquid

APPOINTMENTS.

Steady boys! Don't get excited
on the idea that we are about to
make a startling announcement be.
cause the heading has the ear.
marks OF something of the kind.
But we feel like saying a word,
publicly, about the disappointment
consequent upon the delay of Mr..
Cleveland in giving us Democratic
officers. We all want them, we
need them and will look for them
as long as the Democratic sun con-
tinues to shine. But we are liable
to judge to hastily. Weknow that
President Cleveland and his Cabi-
net have been laboring faithfully
since they have been in Washing
tou, and as we have cause 10 be.
lieve, for the general good of the
country. They found much work
to do iu the way of retrenehment
other than that of removals and
appointments. 1T this were not
true we should reasonably conclude
that the Republican party was not
so bad after all. If we had found
the old house in such perfect order
upon taking possession, with all
the servants in a situation to dis
miss upon Il mere formal settle
ment we should have felt rebuked
for our clamor to have them out.
But the fact is their pockets had
to beturued, their houses examined,
their accounts carefully scanned to
find the receptical of last years
harvest. The welding of the axe
is retarded, also, by another Cir
cumstance of no small significance.
1t is an easy matter to chop off a
head, but not always so easy to fill
the vacancy. Prudence and just
ice demands that these vacancies
should be filled by honest and
m%eritorious men, but merit being
modest bIazen.faced impotence
must first be heard, wrestled with
and shut out before the right man
is reached. And after all there is
still another obstacle, Before the
Republicans left the Capitol they
placed over each department a
lightning rod to prevent Democrats
being struck with any great force
by Democratic lightning, and they
called it Civil Service Regulations.
1t being the sworn duty Of Presi.
dent Cleveland to observe Obedi.
ence to the Constitution aud the
laws of the country, good or bad,
this must remain an obstacle until
removed by Democratic legislation.

A WRITER in the Starkville
Stock Journal says less than half of
the available area Of Mississippi is
unoccupled aud murh more than
half has never felt the pillow, while
that In cultivation has never been
titled after the best methods. The
big estates + falling TO pieces and
fresh immigration and the surplus
products of an inexhaustible soil
are furnishing means. Srnall firms
highly cultivated have been found
most profitable.

That is according to the rules of
practice, aud the Optic is wise
enough to give judgment by de-

The Rolling Fork Pilot says the
fair sentiment of Sharkey county
was veIy doubtfully represented
by her recent mass meeting which
instructed for Lowry. That large
majority of the farmers we've all
sent on that day, owing to the fact
that an important local election
was set for next day and they
could ill afford TO loose two days
from their work. That watchful
journal says, also, that Lowry only
received 46 votes out of 80, at the
mass meeting, aud out of tour hun
dred in tie county. One supervi-
sor's district was not represented
at all, and another by only one
man. The ring evidently had the
advantage of the working men,
and the ring is for Lowry.
