Doctors and others have long recog
nized, in eases OF disease, the power oil
the imagination over the body. Much
OF their treatment assumes that the
feelings of the patient viii affect the
course of the disease. The skilltul
among them aim therefore to excite
hope, not to exaggerato the symptoms.
and 10 assure their patients that the
medicines they give will produce GER
tain desirable effects In this way they
reinforce thor remedies and increase

suits at which they am. ---i..
1t is well known. too, that in Gases OF
imaginary or exaggerated troubles they
only make show OF giving medicine,
administering pLtce1o n they are

imaginative patient thinks will cure him
of his ills. These ills, being 'argcly the

1t is nice piece of casuistry to do
eide just how far peoples imaginations
should b. used to mislead them even for
their own good In all departments, %
well as in the practice OF medicine, the
question often arises. 1t not unfre-

deceived will reap neither special harm
nor special benefit, whereas the deceive,
will find the deception greatly 10 his ad

Not a Good Plan.

In some parts Of England public
school teachers are paid according to
the standing of the pupils on examina-
ton day. The result Is not all good,
for some Of the pupils are over-driven
by the teacher. The teacher is thus
much like the Chicago cabman whose
wages are greater the more he whips
his horse As many would rather
walk home than ride to the music of a
whip, so one would better let the chill
dren pick up small education of one
or two years than have them driven
along many years so as to justify the
salary Of the driver. In Greece, paida-
Cog meant gentle child-leGder; in En-

raE MuRpERER OF MILTON MCKAY.

Since our last ISSUE the following
developments have been made with
reference to the assassination last
Sunday week of Mr.. Milton Mckay,
at Salem, Greene county. Dave
Farley has been arrested, tried and
committed on the charge of com.
hitting the bloody deed, on circum.
stancial evidence, which cast the
suspicion upon him from the begin
Mug. Some days previous TO the
killing Dave aud Joe Farley, who
lived neighboIs to Mr.. Mckay, ag.
gravated a difficulty with him in
which they were considerably
vorsted by Mr.. McKay's knife aud
took TO their heels. with this tact
as an incentive, an Investigation
of the scene of the murder devel-
oped the fact that two blinds had
been constructed on the side of the
road from II of which the fatal
shot was fired Into the back of de.

At this one, tracks were found
leading into the swamp where a
horse had been hitched. The tracks

were measured aud otherwise no.
ted. The first, by comparison,
Identified the foot of Dave Farley,
and the latter the horse which lie
had been seen riding the same day.
He was thereupou arrested, tried
and committed as before stated aud
his brother placed under a bond to
keep the peace. We understand
Dave has been transferred to the
Lau0erdale county Jail for safe
keeping. There seems to be nc
proof that Joe was present at the
time of the murder, though two
blinds had been constructed, evi

ing another.

clined to make. Feeling that upon

public good in bis selections, he is
disposed to 'let the other fellows

Gov. LowRY's record ON Railroad Su-
pervision is unassailable. Having been
elected on a supervision platform, he ia
yored the passage of a fair supervision
bill. When the Legislature passed a bill
that was clearly unconstitutional he We
tOed it, as was his duty to do, but he told
them in his veto message that if they
would pass a bill that was nns uE~
constitutional he would sign 1t. The
Legislature did pass another bill, which
many able lawyers thought was also m
constitutional, but he thought otherwise
and approved it., and now the Supreme
Court has endorsed his views.--BrandoR
Republican.
1t would be a good idea if Low
rvs friends would agree unon a
plan of defense of their client on
this subject. Some contend that
Lowry believed the bill he signed
to be unconstitutional but yielded
to the popular clamor to allow it to
undergo the test OF the courts.
These arguments are Inconsistent,
in the first place, aud both imagin-
airy. Look at it as you may, Gov,
Lowry's veto message on the first
bill applied with equal force to the
second, which was substantially the
same; from which we are COMPEL
ed to conclude that he simply be-
came alarmed at the disturbance
his veto caused aud abandoned bis
convictions aud timidly depressed
from the course he set out TO pur
sue.

WHEN the Democrats of Jackson coun-
ty appointed delegates to the State Con-
vention, who are in favor of the re-nomi-
nation OF Gov. Lowry. II great cutlery was
at once raised because the delegates were
mot instructed for him! The Democra-
c. of Harrison county have had their
Convention, appointed delegates and
unanimously instructed them to vote for
Lowry tor Governor. A telegram to the
n. o. PicayuRe referring to this Harrison
county meeting says:
RESOLUTIONS indOrsing Gov. Lowry for
Governor and NJ. NJ. Evans for Secretary
of State were passed unanimously. Dele
gates were appointed for the State Con
vention, also for the Senatorial COnyen-
ton"
There seems to be little doubt as the
wishes ofthe Harrison county Democracy,
but we suppose the "anYbody-to-beat-
Lowry" fellows will manage to find a flaw
in the proceedings Vicksbmg Herald.
When yOu-anything.to-elect Low
nv "fellers' establish as Il fact that
the Jackson county delegation is IN
favor of Lowry denomination there
will be IL little sense in your pug,
nacious ranting. Ii any flaws have
been picked in any proceedings, as
Lowry used to tell King when he
would draw a picture OF his politl-
cal attitude and point his index
finger over the old gentleman'S
bald head, "Thou art the man"
We beg leave to inform you that
Harrison county did not instruct
her delegates to vote for Lowry Tor
Governor. Now, who is picking
flaws? We, therefore, score two
blunders against you.

WHERE SHALL THE END BE9

In law, in politics, in society aud
pervading all the rules aud regula-
tions of human conduct there are
more or less of presidents that
reach the dignity of binding force.
Not always because of the especial
wisdom or utility of that particular
rule, INT it is for the injustice that
the exception or variation would
occasion. Let us then see ii we
are not abOnt to loose sight of this
precious jewel of consistency in
the consideration of an important
political question. 1t is uuqnes-
tionably one of the rules of prece-
dent in this State that no Governor
shall serve more than one term OF
four years. We do not know of a
single exception. Governor Stone
served out the uhexpired term OF
another, was then elected and
served one term. He was then de-
feated on the rotation precedent
theory. The most enthusiastic ad
mirer of Gov. Lowry will admit
that Stone was an excellent aud
conscientious Chief Magistrate.
His defeat was certainly not in
tended as condemnation of his adj.
ministration. The precedent idea
prevailed against him and he lost
the nomination for collection.
Now, we will meet the friends OF
Lowry on half way ground, and con-
cede, for arguments sake, that be
has made as good a governor as
Stone. If, then, it is deemed nee
essary to reflect Lowry to avoid an
action that would condemn his adj.
ministration, as some coAtend, lUok.
ing upon it in the light of impeach
ment for mal-feasance or mis-teas.
ance, we ask, i'll all candor, why
did We do this thing to Gov. Stone
Why have you done it to score o.
worthy men who have held Office
at your hands from constable t
Governor and were defeated for re
election. Is this the way men arr
to be branded who fail to hold of
flee tor life in the future? Then We
ask where shall the end be if thi'
wholesome rotation precedent Is bt
abolished If Gov. Lowry ha'
done his duty as M ordinary mortal
he has done well, and his friend,
have the right to praise him. But
if he is to be kept in Office eight
years because he did the best he
knew how, what shall We do fol
the next Governor, who, all things
equal, happens to know better how
The fact is we caunot afford the
reward.
There is no clause 10 force rota
zion in the constitution, but beaver
forbid that it shall ever come t.
pass that MisSissippians shall needs
be nailed down by law to hold them
within the bounds of common sense.
