l. The Thirtieth Of May falling upon
Sunday, in consequence of the preceding
day having been made holiday by legal
enactment in the Department of Pennsyl-
vania, Saturday, May Goth, will be OBJ
served as Memorial Day.
2. The fitting observance of the day and
of the ceremonies which hallow it, inten-
sify in interest as the graves increase and
the years multiply which separate us
from the scenes which made the lives of
our comrades memorable. The fairest of
ferings of this bright spring time, we will
again bring to their last resting places, to
testify to the nobility of love and affection
they deserve at our hands. From the
outpouring of grateful hearts, we select
the words most fitting to tell the story of
their lives, that posterity may read in
their deaths the true virtue of loyalty to
flag and country. In land for which, as
citizen soldiers, they offered their lives
that it might forever exist as the home of
liberty and freedom, we cannot render
them too much homage.
Regard our every grave as tnausole-
um before which future generations will
stand with uncovered heads. The indi-
vidual soldier who sleeps within, howev-
or humble his sphere in life, represents
the grandest principle for which battles
were fought since the world began. The
maintenance of that principle in all it's
purity is the assurance of the perpetuity
of the Republic. The Union, which was
the gift of the soldier to the citizen, should
be the inspiration of the citizen to do hon.
or to the soldier.
Comrades all rally for muster to-day,
Come, with oblations of reverent love,
With beautiful flowers,
To honor the brave who lie
Peacefully sleeping around u.s."

STATE FLNANoBs.

The Evening Post attempts to make
the point, the finances Of the State
have been badly managed, because We
said the State did not have the cash
on hand to return the deposits to the
insurance companies.
We can see no logic in what the
Post asserts, and would like to see its
array Of proof, that the State finances
have been badly managed. Beyond
the fact that the State has not
collected all the revenues, we do
not know of a single one that
warrants the assertion that the
finances have been badly managed. On
the contrary, we think they have been
honestly and ably managed. Our
Treasurer could not manage what did
not get into his hands, and The Post
should not hold him responsible for
amounts, Of which the State was
swindled in some of the counties, by
careless or rascally Sheriffs. In this
county we are quite sure
the State was swindled for
years by the late Sheriff. Indeed
Beck made every transaction tell, yet
the Post said he had as much right to
be reelected as anyone and now
charges, without any facts to sustain
it, that the finances Of the State have
been badly managed.
The State has reduced the rate Of
State taxation very low, and it has
spent the money, but it can show
where every dollar went. Look
at our noble public institutions the two
new Colleges, the new insane Asylum
and the improvements in the other
charitable institutions. The money
went to them, and we hope no good
citizen regrets it, If the Legislature
will do its duty we feel every conf
dence, that the State officials will dc
theirs.

THE BEST SUPERVISOR.

Dispatches from New York an
nounce that the Railroad Pool was
smashed on the 18th, and that all the
east and west lines would cut rates.
In other words, competition would
have its full effect. While that is the
case, the people may be sure they will
get the very lowest passage and
freight rates and the best treatment.
When there is NO pooling,
there are times when the rates are
too low. 1t frequently happens
that the roads attempt to do business
for less than will pay their expenses.
In no section of country in the world
are rates as low as in the northern part
Of the United States, when there is
competition. This fact should be care
fully considered by our State Legisla-
ture. They should encourage the rail-
road development of the State in every
possible way, and do away with the
Commission plan altogether. All that
is needed, is a good plain
law defining what is extortion
and unjust discrimination, and
giving the citizen his remedy in
the courts. This would make every
citizen his own supervisor, every court
the means of securing justice, and
save the expense and irritation of a
Railroad Commission. Such a law has
been introduced by the Judiciary Com.
mittee of the House, and we believe
will be acted on next week. We think
it far better than the present law or
any one which provides for Commits
%sioners.

MAJOR S. A. JONAS writing from
Washington City to his paper. the
Aberdeen Examiner, says:
The President could not make a
better appointment to the vacant place
on the Civil Service Commission, than
that of ex Senator B. K Bruce, would
be. The Board already contains two
Democrats, and the law requires that
the third mar shall be a Republican;
and so, in appointing Bruce, the poll
tical conditions are met as fully as our
opponents could possibly demand, and
at the same time the minority race in
American citizenship will find full
recognition and representation upon
the Board.
The colored race was given represen-
tation in high office by the last admins
tration when Bruce was appointed
Register of the Treasury on the unani-
mou recommendation Of the Senate,
and now the Democratic party can give
equal consideration to the colored race
by appointing him to what is prac.
tically a Republican vacancy that must
be filled by a Republican.

THE Chinese Minister at Washing
ton has directed the attention Of the
Secretary of State to an alleged con-
certed plan in California to drive out
all Chinese except from San Francisco.
The Minister says that this would not
only be ruinous to Chinese laborers,
but to merchants as well. The New
York Times says:
"The object of this communication
is believed to be not simply to in
yoke protection for the Chinese, to
which they are entitled under the
treaty with China, but to lay the
foundation for claims upon the Gov
eminent for idemnity for losses occa-
stoned by the violation of treaty
rights. China a appeal to the nu-
merous precedents established in cases
in which she has had to pay just such
claims. If the Government neglects
to afford the protection which it has
guaranteed, it may have a heavy bill

THE caucus of about half the Re
publican Senators, has agreed upon
three resolutions to be submitted to
the Judiciary Committee, and by it to
be submitted to the Senate in open
session. The first resolution says no
matter what reason actuates a Cabinet
officer for refusing to furnish papers
about removals, the refusal is repre-.
hensible. The second says where the
papers in regard to removals are not
furnished if requested, the person ap'
pointed to succeed the person removed
will not be confirmed.
In these two resolutions the Repub.
lican Senators disclose their weak poll

BE CAREFUL.

1t frequently happens that Legisla-
lures do more harm by passing acts
that ought not to be passed, than by
not passing some, that are deserving.
We think this will prove to bethe case
if the Mississippi Legislature passes an
act to hold a Constitutional Conven-
tton. There are doctrinaires and
cranks in the State without
doubt, who imagine they could
construct the best funda-
mental law for a State, that
was ever seen, hut it will not do for
the people Of the State to rely upon
the imagination OF such people. The
rule to guide in such cases is similar
to what Burke suggested, before a peo-
pie should revolt or attempt to revo-
lutionize their government. They
should be firmly convinced Of
two things: that the evils
with which they have to contend
can be borne no longer, and that
there is a reasonable hope they could
be ameliorated or removed by taking
up arms. In politics, the party in
power should beware Of radical
changes, and especially should it shun
the counsel of those who wish to
throw the whole people into a ferment
unless there is the most urgent
necessity for it. No such necessity
exists in this State, and we are sur
prised that any considerable portion Of
our Legislature can seriously consider
a proposition to tear to pieces our
State government, just as the people
have become familiar with It. If a
few of the wlsest men we have could
be entrust with the making of a new
constitution, it is not very certain they
would do more good than harm. They
would encounter honest differences of
opinion about various important ques-
lions, and the conflicting interests to
be harmonized, would make their
work one Of the greatest
difficulty. And such would not
be the sort of a body, that
would compose a constitutional
convention. 1t would be a large body
comparing in discretion and intelli-
gence to our present Legislature. Our
present law makers are up to the aver
age, but the great body of the citizens
would not like to see them clothed with
power to destroy the State Govern
ment, and build a new one. They
might make some improvements
and they might make many
blunders. One thing is very
sure the danger OF dividing the intel
ligent people and property owners, il
far greater than any necessity for
new constitution.
In Jul judgment, a constitutional
convention would prove a costly, irri'
tating and dangerous experiment.
To those who imagine that such q
need is what ais the State, we would
suggest that the present constitution
and laws are good enough if we Car
secure their enforcement. Thrift, in,
dustry and intelligent management o.
our varied and vast resources are more
needed in the State than new consti
buttons.
