The Locusts.

An immense number of ant hills have
been observed this season, and it is
judged from their appearance at this
time that they are the enemies of the
locusts When the locusts first ISSUE
from the ground and are soft, an army
of ants will attack them, and birds of
various kinds prey onTthem, and fowls
of all kinds thrive on them. The locust
is harmless, but persons before handling
it should be sure that the digger wasp
OF ''stizzus grads" is not hung to the
insect. 1t is this wasp that in locust
years causes 50 may deaths that are
credited to the locust. This large wasp,
about the size of locust, comes with
each return of the l7-year locusts to
prev on them. The sting of the wasp
causes death frequently in two hours.
In short time the female locusts will
commence laying their eggs in the
young branches of the trees, selecting
those less than an inch in diameter.
From the points of puncture the limbs
die out to the tips, and hanging from the
trees through the season present peeu-
liar appearance that calls the attention
of all to the fact that it is locust year.

Offensive Partisanshfp.

As an answer to the oft repeated
question, What is offensive partisanship7
We append the following from the Gal
weston Nelcs:
Offensive partisanship may be qualifi-
ed in two ways-what' is offensive to the
other party and what is offensive to a
decent public sentiment in view of the
purposes of the Office, and in considera-
tion of the fact that no man can serve
two masters-his party boss and his
country. What Is offensive to opposite
partisaDs purely as such need not mat
ter. What is offensive to common
American sense and decency matters so
much that it is cause for removal unless
the incumbents can back themselves up
with clear statutory title and thus
hold the fort against utility and decency
in public sense

Our Public Schools.

EDITOR CLARION: [ have read an arti-
Gle under the above heading in your issue
of the Goth, and | fully agree with the
author that we need an improvement in
the law relative to public schools, and
to get this we must agitate and point
out the present evils and defects. The
greatest step to further this object would
be an act of the Legislature to compel
County Boards of Supervisors to levy a
tax to supplement the State distribution
to continue the schools eight months of
the year. If possible, make it the duty
of State Superintendent to visit each
county once a year, to see that the
County Superintendent and schools are
progressive, and the County Superinten-
dent and the trustees should visit coun-
ty and township schools at stated periods
to see that teachers do their duty and
earn their pay. The grievances in
my county are, now we have schools
four months only every second gear in
each town or village, thereby allowing
the poorer class of pupils time to forget
what they have studied and the great
object of public education averted in a
measure; and another to control teachers
so as to compel the performance of their
duty and the just earning of their salary
in comparison with those of private
schools 5. r. T.

As to the Tariff.

n. Y Herald.
The tariff reformers want, we suppose,
to reform the tariff That, at any rate,
is what they pretended. Well, they can
do this only by securing majority of
votes for it. But without Mr.. Randall
and those who usually follow him they
cannot hope for such majority in the
next Congress. 1t seemed to us, there
fore, a very important point gained for
tariff reform when few days ago Mr..
Randall said to the Herald :-"As to the
tariff, the administration should be
guided by the spirit and letter of the
utterances of our platform on this sub
ject; and faithful execution of these
declarations, without cavil, will unite
our party everywhere and accomplish
the tariff reform which both platforms
asserted to be necessary"

It Does II OF Exist.

The esteemed Meridian Mercury did
not read our reply TO its interrogatory
concerning a joint discussion between
the candidates for Governor, with its
usual discernment, else 1t would not |
have said that the condition of affairs |
under which The CLARION would favor
a canvass does exist" nor would it
have said that we endeavored "to make |
it appear that Capt. WALKER invited |
Gov. LOWRY to canvass which would |
exclude all other candidates. To make |
ourselves plain, we repeat that part of
our answer to the MTeur5's question
which is specially pertinent, in the
words following:
If it were fact that the members of
the Democratic party had determin-
ed to nominate Gov. LOWRY or Col.
WALKER for Governor, thereby shut
ting out all other candidates, and had
expressed a desire to hear them in joint
discussion, to the exclusion of all others,
our views as to the propriety of joint
discussion might be materially changed.
But we have no evidence that this con-
dition of affairs exists. We know that
it does not.
| On the other hand, we are of the
opinion that it would be highly improper
| for person occupying the exalted posi-
| ton of Governor to submit himself to
! the assaults of every one who should
! choose to become candidate for that
office The Governor, in office, owes it
to the people who elected him to MAN.
tain the dignity of his exalted position,
and, since he is not at liberty to choose,
from among several candidates, that one
whom the people might consider worthy
Of his consideration, the proper thing
for him to do is to decline the invita-
tons of all.
1t is very plain from the foregoing,
that the ground on which we rested the
propriety of the action of Gov. Lowry
in refusing to engage in joint discussion,
was that he was not at liberty to choose
from among the candidates who might
aspire to the nomination, 'that one
whom the people might consider worthy
of his consideration" With this objec-
ton to the proposition we coupled the
fact that the people had not selected
Col. WALKER and Gov. Lowry as the
only gentlemen from whom they desired
an expression of opinion on such ques-
lions as would influence them in deter
mining whom of the two they would
prefer. How the Mercury could conclude
that our reply was based on the mistaken
view that Capt. WALKER invited Gov.
Lowry to canvass which would ex-
clude all other candidates" and that the
Condition of affairs under which THE
CLARION would favor canvass does
exist" excites our special wonder.
'The condition of affairs under which
| The CLARION would favor a canvass
does not exist, has not existed, and in
all probability will not exist during the
) present year.
Since the Mercury admits that the
Democratic party is competent to select
a suitable candidate for Governor with
out previous joint discussion between
Gov. LOWRY and Col. WALKER, its
insi5tence in the matter is one of those
thiLgs which, without explanation, is
harder to understand than the plainly
expressed views of THE CLARION.

We do not know, answering the gues-
ton of our contemporary, what will be
the practical workings of the provisions
of the law concerning discrimination
but quote the language of the court:
So it may be said, that the company has
10 right TO make unjust determinations or
show Partially not authorized by its char
ter in transporting persons and things.
As part Of the history of the super
vision cases in the Supreme Court of
Mississippi we will say to the Herald
that many points were made against the
validity of the Supervision law and
pressed with great ability, and that
only one was decided in favor of the
railroads. That point being applicable
to but two roads it would seem that as
between those who sought to destroy
the law and those who upheld it, the
decision Of the Supreme Court is with
/ the latter.

LOUIS KAHN.
From the Circuit Court of Amite coun-
ty. J. B. Chrisman, Judge.
Statute Of frauds. Business sign. Code
Z 1900 construed. Gumbel q. Koon. 50
Mss, distinguished
COOPER, C. J.:
On January 10, 1885, Max Kahn, a
storekeeper at Gloster, being consider
ably involved, and indebted to Louis
Kahn, his clerk, for money borrowed
and services rendered, sold his store
house and stock of goods to Louis Kahn.
in consideration of this Indebtedness
There seems to be no doubt about the
good faith of the transaction On jan
uary L, the deed was filed for record :;
but the name of Max Kahn remained on
the sign, and the business was conducted
as before, so for as outside observers
could judge. On January 10, appel
lants, as creators of Max Kahn, levied
an attachment upon the property. Louis
Kahn asserted his claim, and this ap-
peal is taken from a judgment in his
favor
The court rightly refused to charge
the jury that the fact alone that Louis
Kahn carried on business in a store
having on its front the name of Max
Kahn rendered the goods liable for the
debts of Max. 1t is a mistake to sup
pose that the effect of Code . 1900 is to
fix the ownership of property in the
person whose name appears at the place
of business when the sign has no con-
nection with the business, and is not in
tended or used as an advertisement
thereof. The purpose of the statute is
to fix the ownership of the goods in him
by whom the business is transacted.
The opinion In the case of Gunabel q.
Koon, 50 Miss, is to be considered with
reference to the facts before the court.
The language of that opinion, delivered
by me, is subject to the criticism that in
the last sentence the word manager, is
used as the equivalent of ssthe person
transacting the business in his own
name
But on the facts testified to by the
claimant himself, and admitting the
bona tfdes of the transfer of the goods.
we are of opinion that the verdict of the
jury is manifestly wrong. During the
five days which elapsed between the
transfer and the levy of the attachment,
every appearance that would lead to the
belief that Max was transacting the
business as before was presented, and
nothing was shown from which it could
be inferred that he had given up the
business to his late clerk. None but
Louis and Max knew that Louis was to
have the proceeds of the business. I'm
less one can transact business in his
own name" secretly, Louis Kahn did
not 50 transact business. The business
was apparently transacted by Max Kahn.
and as between Louis and the creditors
of Max, the goods were to be held and
treated rs the goods of Max. Reversed.
