AN IMPORTANT AND HEATED DISCUS
SION.
Col. Gordon, of Pontotoc, offered the
resolution that each mcmLer be Furnish
ed with four dollars worth of station
cry and one dollars worth of postage
stamps.%
. Then our distinguished friend, the
great southern economist, Capt. Frank
Chickasaw, of Burkitt, arose in the
fulness of his patriotic indignation and.
sternly rebuked such reckless extrava-
gance.*
In the name of the oppressed masses
of toiling Taxpayers of Mississippi, he
loudly demanded that the enormous
sum of five dollars be reduced to two
and halls
Undaunted by the jeers and laught-
er of the wasteful and extravagant
Legislators, so thoughtless and recTeant
to their sworn duty, this faithful pro-
tector of the people, like the Roman
Sentinel of old at his post, in ringing
tones opposed this reckless and bank
ruptingWaste oftwo dollars and half.
And in the long and heated discus
sion which followed, this illustrious
defender of ground hog-economy con-
tended earnestly and pathetioally
gainst the greed of the rapacious
spoilsmen who sought to thrust hun
CRY fingers into the State treasury and
pillage its wealth. and perpetrate an
other gigantic Credit MobiIier fraud.
But unheeding the voice of economy
this extravagant Legislature passed q
resolution allowing each member four
dollars worth of stationery.#
Secretary Of State transmitted to the
House the official vote cast for Gov
ernor, stating that the counties of Cow
ington, Holmes, Issaquena, .Sunfiower
and Winston had not sent in the votes
as required by the code.*
Mr.. HOyle, then offered a resolution,
that the Speaker appoints postmaster
of the House, and that each member
be requested to pay fifty cents for his
salary.
We do not know whether the dis
tinguished economist of Chickasaw
was so overwhelmed and troubled by
his defeat in attempting to thwart the
spoilesmen in their stationery grab, OF
whether he was out having an injunct-
ion sued out against the scheme; but
this extravagant post office resolution
went through without opposition from
Chikasaw and the House adjourned un.
til the following day.
