Col. HEMINGwAY's unflagging candi-
dacy for State Treasurer brings softly
back to our memory, that old catch ques-
ton which they sometimes ask young at
torneys: I'll a tenant for life holds over
his term, what must be done to eject
him f"-UticG Comet.
The political life of Col. Hem
mingway is waning, and the remain
der man wakes impatient, and in
his imaginings can already hear
the lowing of the Jersey herd.
Those verdant fields and green
pastures are too good to be the
subject of monopoly.

FIRST BLOOD FOR LOWRY.

The Democrats of Jackson county lead
off solidly for Gov. Lowry. They held a
meeting on Monday and advices received
from that point report that they selected
a solid Lowry delegation to the State
Convention. This is but the beginning of
the end. The opposition to Dear Bob
will grow small by degrees and beauti-
fully less.-V icksburg Herald.
eco AWAY from home to get the
news" is the old adage, and sure
enough it does eem to be true,
W. know of nothing that would
justify the assertion that the Jack
son county delegation referred to
is for Lowry, solid or otherwise. 1t
is simply a newspaper rumOr that
is entirely unauthorized by any ex-
preston or indication OH the part
of the delegates. The delegation
is probably divided, like their con.
stituency OF the county. Every
candidate for Governor has his fol-
lowing of admirers, Lowry and
Walker have their friends and Gen.
FeatherstOn his war comrades, and
no n can say how u delegation
will vote, as ii unit, according to
the instructions OF tue mass meet
ing.

USES ANp ABUSES OF POWER.

Ii our memory serves us right
the time was when the pardoning
of criminals by the executive was
q rare occurrence, and executive
clemency was exercised with great
caution. Not that judges and ju.
ries were more intelligent, but, in
tact, when knowledge OF the learned
professions was BY no means so ex.
tensive as now, at a time when the
laws of the land we're permeated
with dangerous technicalities, and
contained much fewer loop holes
for the escape of prisoners than
the statute books of today. Elk
perience teaches that by the rules
of practice now in vogue in our
State the ungodly can scarcely be
convicted, and that tho righteous
have but little to fear. But, with
all that, pardons have recently be-
come SO common that a certain
class of criminals, at least, viz
the genteel ones-have come to ex-
pect it as a matter of right, simply
upon a petition of friends. These
documents are something similar,
in operation, to what is known in
commercial circles as accommoda-
ton paper, with none of the re.
responsibility incident thereto.
Cheap, is the word! Simply a
stroke of the pen akin to the mod
us operandi of brushing away a
troublesome fly. We are not pre-
pared to say that our present Gov
ernOr is in the habit of pardoning
on these petitions alone, but GER
tainly if all his washed criminals
were hung on a line to dry it would
be quite an encouraging sight to
the evil doer. AS it is the appeal
for executive clemency is coming
to he considered quite a safe
dernier resort, and the once awe
inspiring "Let him hang till he is
dead deadll dead Up is wonder
fully stripped of its power. All of
which is the result of an abuse OF
power, or it is a very damaging re-
Election upon the laws, judges and
%juries of Mississippi.

The official mill grinds slowly, but
there were four internal revenue collect
Ors appointed to day. One of these is
Capt. Ham. Shepherd, of Virginia, instead
of Craig, a Mahonite. Craig is the first
of his gang of miscreats in Virginia to
suffer. Shepherd is a frst-rate man in
every point OF view, and this one will en-
courage many Democrats who haye been
much discouraged by the lack of prompti-
tude in displacing Mahone's appolntees.

MooRHEAD, Mimi, Jan. 1s.-There was
an informal meeting of a number of Red
River valley millers held yesterday at the
Grand Pacific, who talked over the advisa-
bility of calling a convention, at an early
date, of the millers throughout the valley
from Brainerd on the east and jamestown
on the west along the line of the Northern
Pacific, and Fergus Falls and Alexandria on
the south to Pembina on the north, along the
Manitoba line. The object of the convention
will be to form an association of Red River val
ley millers who will exert united effort to pro-
tect their common interest, aud especially to
make a market in the east as well as nearer
home for the Red river brand of -four to be
kept distinct and unadulterated. Among
other subjects that will be discussed will be
insurance rates, freight transit and shipment.
At to-day's meeting there were present Mrssrs
F.Viets, of Mimic; W.O. Leistekow, Grafton J. .
f. Dow, Grand Forks; j. W. Horning, Fer
gus Falls, and Il. A. Burns, of this city.
The convention will be held at the Grand
Pacific, January 81. This is an important
step in the right direction. There is no good
reason why with proper effort the excellence
of the Red River valley -four cannot be made
known to the customers and when once
learned there can be not the slightest doubt
that it will hold its own in competition with
the -four of the world. The advantage of
water power enjoyed by Minneapolis is Offset
by the mills in the Red river valley being
where the wheat is grown, and can be bought
direct from the producer without having to
pay elevator or warehouse charges, and fonr
can be shipped at the same rate per ton as
wheat. Red River valley men are awakening
to the realization that they are not owned
body and soul by Minneapolis millers, St.
Paul jobbers and railroad corporations.
