The Philadelphia Times very point
eddy says at is quite possible that
President Cleveland would be per-
kctly willing to give to the Senate the
reasons for all removals if he could
be assured that those reasons would
be discussed in open Senate and the
public given the benefit of both, the
discussion and the information. But
TO demand the information and then
suppress it in secret session is to
declare in practice that sauce for the
executive goose is not sauce for the
senatorial gander, a doctrine that is
entirely at variance with the Ameri-
can spirit of fair play"

THEIR RESpONSLRLLLrr

Our Sheriff and the county officials
and Legislators were elected distinctly
and positively Oh a reform platform.
They owe all their official, political
and personal influence to that cause
Sheriff Worrell, the Board of Super
YisorS and all the county officials must
do their duty, bearing that important
TACT IN mind. If they content them
selves by resting quietly in office, and
refuse to continue the struggle
Tor the reform so sadly needed in the
city and the county, they will fall short
OF the standard the citizens have
erected.
A reform in this county, that does
not include Vicksburg cannot last, for
the city is the center of power. The
city must therefore be reformed. All
The Officials should aid in that good
work In every way in their power.
Our Legislators should do the work;
they were elected for that purpose.
and they must now face the question.
they must take sides with those who
only ask Efficient, economical and i'm
partial rule or they will sustain the
worst elements of the city, who have
already disgraced it, and brought the
city government to a dead lock.
If they do not with honest purpose,
and firm hands make the reformation
needed, they will find it hard to ex-
plain in the future when the bad re-
suits will have to be endured.

be secured from each bale, and these are frequently very large, and at the end of the season are baled and sold for account of the commission house; these baled samples frequently amount to twenty-five pr one hun dred bales. or course, the samples are taken out before the bale is weighed, and our weights fall short from two to ten pounds. The charg- es for selling our cotton are as great today as they were in 1888. when cotton was worth % cents. Now, we leeire--we need --an organization among farmers that will be powerful enough to protect us from these Shy. locks. Certainly we have men of means and of brains to organize and fight them on their own grounds. By organization and co. operation we can do without their services. We can, through this organization, secure buyers for every village and cross roads store in the South can reach the most remote points, and sell dl rect to spinners. Saving even the commissions would mako , small difference to any community.
 For these and other equally neces- sary purposes, we need organization. The Grange, the Farmers' Alliance, the Wheel, and others step outside of their business to meddle with pol itics, and for this reason contain ele- me nts of weakness that destroys their usefulness. A union of all these might be effected, and general pnrging of objectionable features would give us what we want. The trouble, when politics are introduced, Lis in conflict of opinion. A farmers association may embrace, md should embrace, men of all political faiths, and no effort should be made to com bine these opinions in support of any party or political measure, for whenever attempt is made to do so, then and there the association Is al vided aud weakened. Can't some of us manage this organization? in vite personal correspondence on tho subject, and most respectfully ask ALL farmers clubs, of whatever des. eruption, if not too much trouble, to forward me their address, and we will make the effort.
