Extract from Speech OF Hon James Gordon in

ton oil respect the memory of Hon Jeh Wilson.
Of PontOtoc-
Mr. SPEAKER / would be remiss in NV
duty TO the people of Pontotoe whom l

The Hon. jeff. Wilson came to Pontotoc

him the respect of his associates, the admi-
ration OF his friends, and the confidence OF
his clients. Although lawyer of high
star ding in his profession, he loved rural
pursuits and most oil his leisure hours were
spent IN the enj 'yment OF country life,
where he seemed happiest in the quetude
OF his little farm, surrounded by numer

Reports Of Departments and Insti-
tutions.

The fiscal year in this State closes on
Slst December, and the Legislature
meeting few days thereafter, makes it
impossible for the several departments
OF the State Government, and the Benev
olent Institutions, to have their reports
ready in time for consideration in the
early part of the session. All these
reports should be on the desks of the
members on the first day of the session.
They aggregate about ore thousand
pages of printed matter, and with the
ample facilities at the command of the late
Public Printer, he has been unable to print
these Reports in the unreasonably short
time allowed. We suggest that if it is
not practicable to change the close of the
fiscal year, or the time for the assembling
of the Legislature, that the several pub
lie institutions and departments of the
State observation-disclosures Auditor and
Treasurer-be required to close their
accounts on the LIST December, and have
their reports printed by January /.
The Auditor and Treasurer cannot close
their accounts before December Slst.
The reports of these officers are the
most important that can come before
the Legislature, but they are necessarily
delayed because Of the crest labor and
special care required in their preparation
and n work that has TO be done, too.

Facts Versus Assertions.

The New York San having said that
the questions to be determined in the
suit which the Secretary of the Interior
recommended should be instituted in the
name of the Government to test the val
idity of the Bell telephone patents, had
already been settled in the courts, the
Herald replies as follows:
The Sun asserts that "every possible
matter of controversy that has ever been
raised on the Bell patents" has been ad
Indicated in the various telephone suits
that have passed through the lower fed
eral courts. The fact is, that the main,
point on which the Government propos.
es to move against the Bell patent hes
not been passed upon by the court in
any one of these suits
The Sun asserts that every objection
brought to the validity of the Bell
patent is an issue in several cases now
pending in the Supreme Court. The
fact is that the most serious objection
is not an Issue in any of theE..
The Sun asserts that every point the
government proposes to test in a new
suit may be settled by the Supreme
Court ia the suits now on its docket
The fact is that the main issue which
the government will raise cannot be
considered by the Supreme Court in any
case now on its docket.
The chief ground on which the gov
eminent will move to vacate the Bell
patent is that the patent Was fraudu-
lently obtained by corrupt collision
with an examiner in the Patent Office.
This issue has not been adjudicated in
any of the telephone cases that have
been decided by the lower courts. 1t is
not an issue that the Supreme Court can
settle in any case now before it. 1t is a
question that can be properly tested
and adjudicated only in suit brought
by the government to annul the Bell
patent.
The course which the SUI urges is, no
doubt, the course that the ell-Western
Union monopoly would like to see
adopted. But the government is not so
blind as to make such q blunder.

The Supervision Law.

In accordance witt suggestion con-
tanned in the Governor Message, the
House has passed bill, of which Mr..
Williamson, of Carroll, is the author,
providing for the election of the Rail
road Commissioners, by the present
Legislature, and by the people at tie
next general election and every four
years thereafter.
The bill, is in terms, an amendment to
the act of 1884, and provides that the
Commissioners shall be elected by the
Legislature in joint convention, by ball
lot during its regular session in 1886, to
serve until the first general election
thereafter and until their successors are
elected and qualified; but at the said
first general election thereafter, said
Commissioners shall be elected by The
people as other State officers are
elected, for a term of four years, begin
ming on the first Monday in January
next succeeding said election, and every
four years thereafter. And if vacan
cies occur By death, resignation or 9th
erwise, such vacancies shall be filled by
appointment by the Governor, such ap.
pointees to bold their Office until an
election can be held, as provided in such
cases for other State officers, where their
successors shall DE elected as herein pro-
vided"
The Act, of course, is to take effect
after its passage.
While we heartily agree with the
House in its determination to relieve the
Governor of the embarrassment incident
to the appointment of the Commission
ers, we seriously doubt the requirement
that at the next general election, and
thereaf, err, they should be elected
by the people. This is feature of the
Tennessee law; and at the last general
election in that State the nominees OF
the Democratic party for the Office of
Commissioner, were defeated by the
Republican nominees, who pledged
themselves, in advance, not to execute
the law, though every other Democratic
cand date was elected. This result was
brought about by a combination OF
Republicans and anti-supervision Demo.
Gratis, the latter defending their course by
saying that it was legitimate to express
their disapproval of the policy of super
vision by voting for Commissioners who
would not supervise. For the present
at least, we think the wisest course would
be for the Legislature to retain the
power to elect. If the Legislature of
1888 shall think 1t best to devolve the
duty on the people, it can do so. True,
the Legislature of 1888 could repeal the
provision requiring the election of the
Commissioners by the people, but the
judgment of the present Legislature
that the people should elect, would be
at least persuasive against such course
and might defeat it.

A Reply to Plow Handles.

EDITOR CLARION / see in your Daily
OF The 10Th inst, an article from Pillow
Handles" III regard TO free passes. Judging
from the position taken, it would seem
that the writer has handled MANY other
things more than he has pillow. He gets
80 far away from the views and policy Of a
plowman, that our farmers in this section
think he must be the man who originally
put the plow before the horse. He desires
the repeal OF the anti free pass law OF 1854
and makes some gratuitous insinu ations
against the Legislature that passed it,
He says the reason why this law did not
apply 10 members OF that Legislature. is
that majority of them had free passes in
their pockets at that time. A splendid ad-
mission for the representative of class
who contend that free passes do not inhu-
ence men in their votes, and who say such
passes are NOT so intended-lhat thew are
courtesies-acts OF kindness and genuine
poiiteness on the part of the giyer.
This writer thought then, and still be-
lieves, the main reason for opposing the
Free Pass" bill, was that such "a law would
strengthen supervision sentiment in the
State; and he predicts when the test comes
every anti -superyisionist in the present Leg
islature will vote for its repeal.
In regard to p. H's assertion, that ONLY
thine of the brave fifty -two, who voted for
the free pass bill, have been returned.o |
can not believe any one of them was de-
feated on that question; and | know in
stances of members of the present Leeisla-
rure who advocated this law, and all others
appertaining to supervision, who would
not be there had they approved those meas
ur S.
What volume of meaning in the fling

considered worthy of Congressional honors
timber"
Well, If what p III. says on this point
means anything, it is that they will vote
against repeating the anti-free pass law
because their constituencies will approve
such vote. In this conclusion / concur
and would say. Woe to the man in the
House or Senate, VIII, votes TO repeal this
wholesome law, and who afterwards ao-
cepts and rides on free passes.
In conclusioo, would ask, how many Of
the boosted forty three, who voted agsins,
the free pass law, have been returned. es-

az to intimate that Plow Handles writes

Doubtful Economy.

We doubt the wisdom of limiting the
pay of the members of the Railroad
Commission to 81, 800 year. If they
do their full duty to the State and to
the railroad companies they will be i'll
service all the year.
Effective supervision, rs we understand
it, means intelligent Supervision. Com
missoners, who would undertake the
business of supervising the affairs of
railroad companies in the absence OF full
and accurate information on the subject,
would be dear at any price-doar to the
State, and dear to the cause of Supervis-
ion.
One need not believe that it takes
the experience of lifetime in railroad
affairs to gain a sufficient knowledge OF
the wol kings of railroads, to enforce the
provisions of the Supervision law wisely
aud with due regard to the rights OF the
people and the railroads; but the per-
son who believes that the Commissioners
can meet few DAYS in every month,
like the Boards of Supervisors, and do
all that is required of them. is vastly
mistaken.
The Commissioners should be con.
stantly IN service. They should be paid
for all their time, and no one should be
elected Commissioner who would not
couscientiously devote his entire time
to the performance of his puolic duties.
Limiting the amount of compensation
TO $500 year is an expression of the
judgment of the House that only $50
days service will be required in year.
We think that this grows out of a
mistaken conception of the volume and
importance of the work to be performed.
OF course there will be plenty of can
didates at $500 year. The number,
perhaps, would not be much reduced if
the compensation should be fixed at
$500.
In our judgment, the Supervision law
will not be satisfactorily enforced unless
the Commissioners be men of more than
ordinary ability. The power vested i'm
the Commission is unusual. 1t was said
by the distinguished railroad attorneys
to be legislative, executive and judicial.
This was not so; but the statement gives
fair idea of the extent OF their duties
and privileges. The services of person
who can comprehend these duties and
privileges are worth more than 81 500 a
"a year.
Inc aim should be to get persons to
abandon other profitable pursuits 10 take
the office of Commissioner, and not to
furnish living for persons out of EN-.
ployment, the number of whom is count
less--all clever men aud willing to serve
their country at almost any price.
II we desired to discredit the Com
mission and all who had anything to do
with the legislation providing for lit,
We would vote for rate of compensa-
ton 90 low that the class Of men who
would execute the law inteIlirently ard
jadiciousIy would not serve as Commits
