Better BE mind rhsn Dear and Dumh.
Are not the blind proverbially cheer
full, and Is not this a benefcent, useful,
and compensating quality In themi As
a rule, we carry our cross gayly, and 1t
is constant source Of wonder TO many
that NC can keep up our spirits in face Of
the calamity. Contrasted with the deaf
our bearing Is remarkable; they are
prone to look gloomy and morose, while
we are, think, usually the reverse.
The secret is that it is far more depress-
ing and miserable to live in silence than
in darkness. As proof of this, watch a
deaf person sitting apart with saddened
expression and suspicious glance quick
travelling in all directions. The whole
aspect and demeanor of the man changes
ON the instant some one speaks to him in
his own tongue-on the fingers, that is
to say. The silence in which he lives is
dispelled; he has found an equivalent for
his ears.
Give, then, the blind man in his fingers
AN equivalent for his eyes and the dark
ness in which he lives is dispelled. His
mood, if happy, simply becomes happier,
In that he has an occupation, the source
of all happiness. The situation is not
changed if the occupation be directing
or listening instead of technical. No; ]
must repeat this is a misunderstanding
of the powers Of the blind which has
hitherto retarded their fullest develop
ment. They have been too much rele-
gated to the ranks of the incompetent,
too much set aside as a class by them.

IT is stated that our present Board
of Railroad Commissioners shave
never worked so hard as they have for
the past forty days" But the work
they have been doing has not pro6ted
the State, but has been, mainly, in their
own behalf-working on the members
of the Legislature with a view to Sc
curing their reelection. 1t is reported
that one Senator has said "if the Leg.
islature does not soon adjourn he very
much fears the Commissioners will
overwork themselves, so arduous have
been their electioneering efforts" AS
before remarked in these columns, the
Commissioners must anticipate another
injunction shortly, or they place very
little value on their time and talents to
be willing to work for $1,000 per year
of one hundred and fifty days.

WHAT NEW YORK PAPERS SAL

WHAT NEW YORK PAPERS SAY
The World says: president Cleve
land, in his message in relation to the
claims of Chinese sufferers, takes the
ground that while the Government is
not bound by treaty or by statute to
make r~eparation, it is morally bound
to right the wrong, because of the
utter failure of the authorities to give
the peaceful aliens. the protection to
which they are entitled"
The Tribune, on the same subject
says: { Mr.. Cleveland denies that the
United States is liable for the loss of
life and property the Chinese suffered
at Rock Springs, but he brings the
matter to the benevolent attention of
Congress, : and suggests that it
would be a generous action on
our part to indemnify the poor
sufferers. The main question, how
ever, which the President raises is
whether the Chinese have any right at
all under the treaty of 1880. Accord
ing to Mr.. Cleveland, that treaty would
seem to be only waste paper"
The Times, in an editorial on the mat
ter of difference between the President
and the Senate concerning the with
holding of papers in certain cases,
says "The essential issue now is
whether the President assuming the
sole responsibility for suspensions, is
not in a better position than the major
ity of the Senators desiring to NEEDLE
with suspensions, but to avoid all re-
sponsibility."
The Sun says: ut is gratifying to
know that a conference between ac-
credited leaders and the President
will soon take place at which
the points of disagreement will
be frankly discussed and with the
hope of a clearer understanding. With
proper explanations, and mutual con-
cessions a perfect agreement ought
to be reached. Whoever stands
in the way of harmony will GER
tainly be the loser in the long run.
The Democracy can forgive much, but
treachery they will not forgive"

IT will be remembered that a few
days since a party Of capitalists from
the North and East, as guests of Mr..
John H. Inman, made a trip through
the South. Among the number was
Mr.. Cornelius N. Bliss, one of the
most prominent Republicans of the
Empire State, who came neal being the
nominee of that party for Governor.
On the return of the party to New
York, MI. Bliss was interviewed by a
reporter of the New York World. The
interview, which we print else
where, will be read with interest by
our readers. If more gentlemen like
Mr.. Bliss would go through our country
and mlngle with our people, there
would be no further use for sectional
prejudices and the occupation of the
"bloody shirt" orators would be, like
Othello's-gone.

Senator Gray, of Delaware, says:
"The Presidents message is very able

port Of the majority of the Judiciary
Committee, in the most severe terms,

General, and therefore the message is
entirely justified. lie IA compelled
to defend himself, and he has done it
ably and effectively. AS a matter of
right, the President cannot allow the
prerogatives Of his high Office to be
trenched on"
The President is responsible to the
people for the administration of the
affairs of the Government, and not
to the Senate. The President,
through the departments or secretaries,
is not asked for reasons for suspending
officials, but for papers. Asking for the
papers is a mere subterfuge and device
They know that they have no right to
demand reasons for suspensions.

The large attendance of delegates
from the West and Northwest at the
Interstate Agricultural and Industrial
convention, held at Jackson, Tenn.
last week, is indicative that the tide Of
emigration Of a sturdy, intelligent and
skilled class is about to set in south.
ward. The men who attended that
convention are MOI adventures; on the
contrary a majority of them are well
to-do men at home, and their only
object in seeking homes and invest
ments in the South is because of our
genial climate and the wonderful
possibilities Of our undeYeloped
resources. A representative of the c.
H. interviewed a number Of these del
egates and was pleased to hear them
express themselves so favorably of our
section, its soil and climate.
Several of the gentlemen who read
papers and delivered addresses gave it
as their opinion that the South is to-
day a most inviting field for the estab-
lishment Of aver manner Of industry,
and must, by reason of her natural ad-
vantages, be the centre Of cotton man
ufacturing; declaring that no other
section can compete with her in that
line. Many Of the speakers predicted
that Eastern manufacturers would be
compelled to move their machinery
South, or retire from business. In re-
gard to the creamery and dairy indus
try, Competent men declared) that
"the South would soon fall
heir to a monopoly in that; the only
obstacle in the way being a lack of the
proper temperature for successful but
ter making, but this could be obviated,
since the South was manufacturing ice
cheaper than the West could afford to
freeze it,"
With the possibilities of an influx Of
such a hardy, thrifty, wealth-produc-
ing class, is it not an outrage that we
are not making some efforts to en-
courage their coming, like some of our
sister States; but on the contrary, are
placing obstacles in their way? We
verely believe that if all laws that re-
strain, prescribe and restrict certain
corporations organized for public good,
were repealed, another twelve months
would see our State on the high road
to progress, to the happiness and en-
richment of all classes of our people.

Mr.. Orr, OF Okalona, Appears Before
the Senate Committee in Behalf
of the Magruder Bill.
Special to Commercial Herald.
JACKSON, March Mr.. G. Orr, of
Okolona. appeared before the senate
committee to-day and argued very
deliberately and ably in favor of the
house bill introduced by Mr.. Magru-
der, and which passed the house pro-
viding for the relief of merchants and
others who have been doing business
with inefficient privilege licenses, they
being incorporated under the code to
make contracts or collect obligations
due them according to the recent de-
cision of the supreme courtin the Pol
lard insurance case. He contended that
the passage of the bill would not only
be just and right to these men, many
OF whom honestly made the mistake Of
paying an insufficient privilege, but
would Immediately put thousands of
dollars into the State treasury. His
argument was very convincing, and no
doubt had a full effect.
There is no reasonable probability
that the senate will fail to pass this bill
or n of a SIMILAR nature.

A SPECIAL from Mississippi City to

A large and enthusiastic mass meet

towns, but also the county of Harri-
son, met to-day at the Courthouse to
take into consideration and give an ex-
preston for or against certain bills
said to have been offered to the State
Legislature Ivy F, w. Elmer, Repre-
sentative of this county. This bill is
said to give the coast towns the privil-
eye of abolishing Sunday laws in their
midst
Mi. Theobold, of Biloxi, was elected
to the chair and Messrs. Jas. Thomas,
of Long Beach, and Jos. B. Leger, of
Handsboro, Secretaries.
Resolutions were offered and car
ried without a dissenting voice, pro-
testing against any laws which will
abolish or interfere with Sunday laws.
This measure appears to be M in
the interest of and by the efforts Of
saloon men, and 1t is rumored that the
late Legislative Sunday excursion on
this coast was run in the interest Of the
Objectionable bill which the citizens Of
this county, in mass meeting assem-
BILE, have SO unanimously protested
against.

In order to give u State Board of

irony in the suggestion. The idea that
