Cur Friends, the Postmaster Editors.

The editors OF some Of our esteemed
Democratic contemporaries in the
country towns have had the felicity of
being appointed Postmasters, and many
more Of them are doubtless looking
forward to the enjoyment of that
felicity. We hope they viii get it, and
we are sure they deserve it. These
Democratic editors in the small towns
have long done faithful service to the
party, often in the face of great discour-
agements and with no immediate pros
pect of reward. They have whacked
away at the Republicans year in and
year out, and it is right that they should
have their share in the benefits of the
change for which they have worked SO
we'll The editor of a country paper is
often his own publisher and his own
printer He usually has good business
qualities, and is fitted to be an efficient
Postmaster. He may grow fat and
saucy, as other officeholders do, if he is
kept too long in Office, but otherwise he
is all right, and will not neglect his
Office for his paper, nor his paper for his
office.
We would heartily con graduate these
esteemed contemporaries who are or
are sure of being Postmasters, were it
not for one solemn thought. They have
been boiling-hot partisans these many
years when they were out in the cold;
how high will the thermometer of their
partisanship go now they have been
taken in and have had their "toes
warmed" They have made themselves
very offensive politically to the Repubh-
cans in their neighborhood. They do
not understand the Mugwump dialect.
They speak right out and pitch right in,
and there is no inofensiyeness in them.
From writing a red-hot Democratic
editorial to running a red-hot Demo-
cratic campaign there is no sort of honor
able offensive partisanship of which
they are not capable. Can they suffer
so great change of heart when they
get into their Postoffices as to be meek
Intellectual, inactive, neutral, Mugwump
ish? Will these sturdy old wolves be
transformed ON the instant into pretty
little lambs, with an EATON collar
around their necks?
Perhaps they will if they choose, but
what if they don't choose? We suspect
that they will keep on working for the
Democratic party, and that their Post
offices, like their journals, will be centres
of Democratic activity in their districts
They will yet give the Mugwumps a
heap of trouble.-N y Sun.

Free Public Schools.

The article printed elsewhere in this
issue headed "a Queer Demand" dis
closes practice which. in our opinion,
is not warranted by the Constitution or
laws of this State.
As we understand it, the educable
children of Kinds county who may
attend Whitworth College are not re
ceived on the terms contemplated by the
provisions of the Code of 1880 or the
amendment thereto in the laws Of 1882;
but are received as pay pupils under a
contract made between the patrons and
the authorities of the College; and this
seems to be the understanding OF the
County Superintendent Of Lincoln coun-
ty as we gather from his statement that
"the pay certificates are to be turned
over to the patrons of the institution"
There is no provision of the lew known
to US authorizing pay certificates to be
turned over" to the patrons of the
"public schools" of this State, or to any
other persons except the teachers; nor
is there legal warrant for the payment of
any portion of the common school
fund" to the teacher of a private school.
The Constitution of the State makes
it the duty of the Legislature to estab-
fish "a uniform system of free public
schoolsSp The schools must be 'free,"
and the system must be uniform" In
obedience to this Constitutional mandate
the legislature has declared that ''there
shall be maintained in this State a uni
form system of free public schools"
and has undertaken to provide by
suitable legislation such system. This
system nowhere recognizes the right of
private schools under any circumstances
to receive any portion of the fund pro-
vided for the support of the free
public schools" "Cities and towns,
districts or private parties" may give
teachers of free schools" additional
compensation (Code of 1880 s72D; but
it is plain that the teachers OF public OF
private schools,not "free," cannot legally
receive any portion of the Common
School Fund"
Although under Z III of the Code and
the amendment of 1882 (Acts p. SD
"pupils from different counties or school
districts may attend the same school, :"
we do not believe that ii was the inten-
ton of the Legislature by adopting such
provision to do more than authorize
the children of contiguous districts or
counties to attend the same school. This
is manifest to us from the general pro-
visions regulating the system, though it
may be that the construction of General
Smith is the proper one. If it is there
should be change in the law.
The free public schools Of this State do
not give satisfaction, and members of
the next Legislature who desire to do
the State a great service should familiar
ize themselves with the system and its
practical workings, before the Legisla-
ture meets, and should come to the Cap
ital intent on making such changes in
the law or in the manner of its execu-
ton as wise regard for the interests of
popular education in Mississippi may
require.

ARRANGEMENTS are made for the
greatest discharge of dynamite that has
ever taken place-the explosion of 275,-
900 pounds of the dreaded mixture.
This large amount of dynamite is now
being stored away in the drill holes
under Flood Rock, in the East river,
opposite New York. There are four
miles of tunneling under the island, and
in the walls and columns supporting the
bed of the stream and the island nearly
fourteen thousand three inch holes have
been drilled to depth of nine feet.
These are being packed with dynamite,
and some day in September all of them
will be simultaneously exploded by the
touch of an electric button. The pre-
vious explosion of dynamite at He'll
Gate required $4,000 pounds, and was
by comparison small affair. In exea-
waiting the tunnels $4,000 cubic yards of
rock were removed, and the explosion is
expected to dislodge $4,000 cubic yards
more. The present work is carried on
at great risk. The accidental discharge
of one of the cartridges now being placed
in position would produce a conclusion
exploding all the others, and might
involve great loss to the Government, as
well as sacrificing the lives of all en-
gagged in the work. Nearly a million
dollars have been spent in this work,
and two millions in excavations of He'll
Gate channel since 1850.

ReS0lred, That we re-afiirm the following adopted
by the Democratic State Convention which assem-
bled IN the City Of Jackson, on the ID day Of Au-
gust, 1877, and on the 4th day Of August 1881
The Democratic party of Mississippi, grateful for
the success Of its past efforts in the cause Of reform
and Of just and honest government, and invoking
the blessing Of Heaven on its future endeavors in
the same cause does adopt and proclaim the follow

PLATFORM or PRINCIPLES.
/. Fidelity to the Constitution Of the United

2. No interference by the military power with
the freedom OF elections, and with the civil and
political rights Of citizens of the United States.

and the prompt vigorous and impartial admins
tration Of the criminal laws; and 10 this end we
cxhort Judges, peace officers and jurors-grand and
Pstit--to vigilance, fidelity and promptness.
.. No discrimination on account Of race, color or
previous condition of seryitude birth place and
no special legislation for the benefit OF the few at
the expense of the many.
8. A strict adherence, in the selection OF public
agents, to the tme-honored Jeiiersonan standard,
ls he honest is he capable is he true TO the Con-
stitutionY
7. A continuation Of the policy OF retrenchment

lowest point compatible with an efficient execution

3 Corporations OF every description supervisable
within Constitutional limits by State authority

10. AS the perpetuity Of free government depends
upon ule virtue ana intelligence OF the people, we
pledge ourselves TO the maintenance OF our State
