After an absence of seventy-two
days, eighteen hours out of every
twenty-four Of which, were devot-
ed to earnest laborious efforts to
improve the condition of the tax
payers of Mississippi, the editor
finds himself again at the helm Of
the old reliable MESSENGER, ready
to battle for the rights of the peo-
pie as he has done for the past sew
enteen years. Now that our du-
ties as a legislator are ended, we
shall devote our time, energy and
intellectual capacity TO tho busi-
ness Of not only keeping the MIS-
sENazR up to i,s present high stand
ard, but to making it the best news
paper in the State. The "wool
hat" doctrine which this journal
has so long advocated, and which
has met with such extraordinary
favor from the masses of the peo-
pie, will be adhered to and enlarg-
ed upon. The success of the poll
cy first announced by this paper,
and advocated by its editor on the
stump and in the halls of Legisla-
ton, is now undoubted by those
who have watched the current Of
recent events, and he who would
keep up with the moving process
ion, having for its object the over
throw Of machine politics aRd the

meut from extrayaganee and mis-

THE covERNoKsFREE PASS.

A telegram TO the New Orleans
PieaYune last week, announced the
disgraceful conduct Of a son and
nephew Of Gov. Lowry on board
a passenger train on the I. c. Rail-
road. Neither our space nor in
clination will allow us to give a
detailed account Of the affair. Suf-
fee it TO say the Gubernatorial
progeny desired to travel On free
pass issued by the railroad com
pany to the Governor OF this proud
State, and the conductor objected.
whereupon a row ensued. The
row, of course, amounted to but
little at the time or since, but the
fact was developed that our great
and good Chief Magistrate has been
again detected in a deliberate vio-
lation Of the law Of the State, " hich
he is sworn to uphold and support.
Indeed, the law which prohibits
officials accepting free passes over
railroads enacted in 1884, was
approved by the present Governor
and reads as follows:
at shall be misdemeanor for
any legislative, executive, judicial
or ministerial officer ofhonor, trust
or profit under the laws of the
State to travel on any railroad in
the State without paying absolute
ly and without any guise or trick.
subterfuge or evasion whatsoever
the same fare required Of passen-
gers generally. For the first of
ionse the person violating this law
is punished by fine Of s25, for
the second offense 500 fine and
ten days Imprisonment in the coun-
ty Jail, and for the third offcnse a
fine of not less than $500 and inn
prisonment not less than thirty
days in the county jail"
A correspondent of the Picayuno
Of last Sunday says:
''It seems now that the Govern
or is holding passes on all the rail
roads in the State reading: "Pass
Governor and family during the
year 1888"
Unless otherwise ordered, these
passes cover the entire territory
through which the railroads cper-
ate. The Illinois Central Railroad
therefore, is liable to fine Of 5000
by the State and $4,000 fine by
the United States. There is con
siderable talk about this little in
cident, and it would be funny ifthe
Governor had to pay the fine and
go to Jail"
Ifthis be true His Excelloney
should be called to account just as
any other violator of law. There
are no recognized privileges class
es in this country, and Gov. Low
ry has no more right to plead inn
munity from crime than the hum
| blest individual in the State. Let
even handed justice be dealt out
to the Governor in his mansion as
we'll as to the poorest laborer in
his hovel.

While in Jackson, we had an IN

charged were not fair and just our
people had only to appeal to the
Commission and the matter would
receive immediate attention.

THE Hamilton trial is in progress
az Brandon, before Judge Mayors
and viii probably consume two
weeks more. The States witness
es are still being examined and
from our standpoint have made
very strong case against the
slayer of Rod GambrelI. What
the decision Of the jury may be, no
one with any certainty can predict,
but should the defendant be acquit-
ted, it would appear unnecessary
to try q rich man with influential
friends TO back him before onr
courts. Better authorize all such
characters to pay a stipulated fine
for murder and let them go, and
thus save a vast amount Of expense
to the State and useless inconven-
ience to the accused.

At the conclusion of the session
ofthe Legislature Speaker Mitchell
was the recipient oftwo handsome
presents from the members of the
House. The first was beautiful
silver pitcher, which was present
ed by Hon. T. W. Sullivan, of Car.
roll, in a neat and appropriate
speech; the other was an elegant
gold headed cane purchased by
the seven colored members of the
House and presented by Hon. G..
w. Bowles, Of Adams, in a speech
touching in sentiment and eloquent
in expression. Itwas apparent to
all that the Speaker was taken by
surprise, and at first he could
scarcely restrain his emotions, but
recovering be responded in a style
and manner which was most CRATE
ful and appreciative. The incident
will long be remembered by the
members Of the Lower House Of
the Mississippi Legislature Of 1888
as one Of the most pleasant in the
history Ofthe session.

five or six hundred boys and girls

tied to the credit (if any there bel
for this reduction
In addition to the itemized re-
ductions set forth, the reductions
made by the House in the fee and
salary bill, which was championed
by certain prominent mcmbers Of
the appropriation committee, and
the bill reducing the number of
Judicial and Chancery districts in
the State, which bad the support
of the same earnest, faithful and
conscientious members saved the
State Treasury more than $4,000
per annum.
Instead therefore of the appro-
priations being 100000 more than
heretofore, the expenditures ofthe
State government haze been reduced
by the late Legislature about $780,
900 per annum. We confess we
are net satisfied with the reduction;
it ought TO have been more than
twice as much, but surely the gem
tlemen, who by their jealous la
bors in behalf of the Taxpayers of
the State accomplished this reform,
in the face Of such powerful oppo-
sition as they were forced to con-
tend with are entitled to fair deal
ing at the hands Of an honest and
untrammelled press. Give us that
and the members Of the appropria-
tion committee who labored in
season and out of season for re-
trenohment in expenditures can
afford TO treat with positive indiff-
eTenc the utterances ofa subsidized
journal at the capitol, which is
nothing, if it is not a blatant tool

rHF APPROPRIATION BILL.

Honorable Frank Burkitt, the
great reformer, has reformed. Ap-
preparation to exceed over $780,
600 over last year. SO says the
ClarioR-Ledger.--BrOokhaven Rad
iator.
The Clarion Ledger has failed 70
be accurate in many statements 1t
has made since the combination
was effected, but We hope for the
honor Of journalism no such mex
ousable misrepresentation as the
above has been made by the State
organ. There is not a single item
IN the last appropriation bill, that
exceed the one Of 1886, except the
Legislative contingent fund, and
the increase here is owing to the
greater activity Of the committees
and the excess in number Of claims
allowed out Of said fund this ses-
sion as compared with former
years. And this increase amounts
only to $4,000.
The appropriation bill of 1888,
instead of being $500, 900 more than
former years is actually less by
several thousand dollars, and there
is no reason why the Radiator
snould have fallen into the same
error, which the State House organ
has been guilty of, except that its
editor was wanting in disposition
or capacity to investigate the mat
ter and ascertain the truth.
There were three points in the
late appropriation bin, which its
friends guarded with special care,
namely: To see that the support
and repair funds were not blended
with the amounts appropriated for
salaries and wages to the benevO-
lent Institutions; To require the
officers and employees in these IN.
stitutioDs to feed their own fami.
lies, hire their own servants and
pay their own laundry bills out Of
the money drawn by them as sala.
ries and wages instead Of the
State Treasury as heretofore,
and to protect the assistant prOfes,
sors and subordinates at the A. 4
NJ. College, who do the principal
part Of the work against the grasp.
ing selfshness of the red-tape
bosses, and to see that the students S
labor fund was properly applied,
In all the contests waged between
tho House appropriation commit
tee and the treasury cormorants
touching these points of difference
the former were successful.
1t was not expected or desired
for that matter by any one, that
the appropriations to the charitable
institutions should be materially
reduced, but when these illegal
expenses were cut of, reduction
was possible and in each case was
made.
The appropriation to the Jack.
son Insane Asylum was reduced
from $50, 900 in 1857 to S57, 500
for 1889, and the State saves in
addition s8OOO.OO per annum,
which has heretofore been expend-
ed under the sanction of custom
but without any authority of law.
Total saving to the State per
anDum $4,000.
The reduction made in the ap-
preparation to the East Mississippi
Insane Asylum including the re-
duction in superintendent's salary
amounts per annum to 50, AGA
And when we consider
that no families are to be
supported, no servants
hired and no dirty official
linen is to be washed at
the States expense by the
officers and employees Of
this institution we may
safely claim an additional
saving to the State amount
ing to at least 100000

After the adjOurnmept Of the
State Farmers Alliance, a commit.
tee Of the House and Senate waited
upon the Governor and inquired
Of him, if he would approve an act
calling a constitutional convention
after the Presidential canvass was
over. He fatty informed them no
bill calling a constitutional con-
vention, or submitting the question
to the people to determine for
themselves whether they would
have a convention could be drafted
that he would approve. Perhaps
the people can elect a Governor
next year, who will not be afraid
TO allow them to express their
views on questions ofpublic policy
at the ballot box.
