The Brookhaven leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1883-1891, 1888-01-05
What the Legislature Has to Do.

The Legislature, when it meets
in January, will have some difficult
problems to solve and a great deal of
hard labor to perform. The members
being fresh from the people and back
ed by strong sentiment of Economy
and reform" will no doubt undertake
to right some wrongs ndput things in
better shape. But they will be some
what in the condition ola doctor visit
ing sick patient; they must first
diagnose the case, then judiciOusly
prescribe the remedy and prudently
apply it. The State has several "ele-
plants on hand and the question will
be whether to keep them or turn them
loose. The big elephant-the Jumbo
of the menagerie, is the penitentiary.
The lease system is bad, yet it will
not do to turn it lose without adopt
ing something better in its stead.
Perhaps the best that can he done will
he to continue it under restriction.
The Railroad Commission is another
good sized elephant, the utility of
which calls for rigid scrutiny. Wheth-
er the luxury is worth the cost will be
a proper question for investigation.
The college elephants will also de-
mand good share of attention.
There is no doubt but that these are
very useful The State could not
now well dispense with either of
them, vet the cost at which they are
supported is a subject of high con-
sideratiOn and should receive care
full attention. The school law should
have its raggedness trimmed Off, and
there are various other matters which
will present themselves to the mem
beers that should have their careful at
/ tentiOn. Not the least of these is the
revenue law, which is a pretty good
sized elep liant itself. This calls for
the greatest display of craftsmanship.
How to keep the Indebtedness of the
State within prudent limits and at the
same time guard the interest of the
taxpayers, is question to puzzle the
best minds of the Legislature. But
that is what the people expect ofthem;
that is what they are elected to do
and we can assure them now that they
will find no child's play thing

mittee of one hundred and the Young
White Mems League both had COM
mittees stationed not far from the
polls, those of the latter determined,
at all hazards, to enforce their resolu-
ton that no man with a black skin
should be allowed to vote. However,
the election passed off peaceably.
Only two colored men offered them
selves at the polls to vote, and they
were easily persuaded not to insist
and went away without doing so. On
the other hand, nearly every register
ed white man of the city voted, and
both sides worked like beavers for the
white vote, but long before the hour
for closing the polls. it was evident
that victory had perched OH the ban
ncr of the gallant Henry, and that
John McGill, the hitherto invincible,
had met his Wellington and his
W aterloo.
When the result was definitely known
that Henry had won by SO majority
and that five out of six of the Demo-
cratic Aldermen were elected-the
whole city fairly went wild with en-
thusiasm. The newly elected Mayor
and his lieutenants in the struggle
were lifted upon the shoulders oftheir
enthusiastic SunnOrterS and choprpn
and recheered, amid the boom of can
non, the discharge of fire works and
| the widest huzzas.
Tonight large torch light process
sion is parading the streets, fire works
of all sorts being discharged, congrat-
ulatory speeches made and the town
is literally beside itself with joy.
Such, in brief, is the history OF one
of the most thrilling and decisive po-
litical contests ever witnessed in this
or any other State, and it lessons will
not be lost on either the victorious or
defeated. 1t ends forever, the cor
rupt relic of Regublicanism in the Cap
itol of the State and serves notice once
more on the entire country that the
Southern white people, long suffering
and patient, will not always tamely
submit to the domination of few
corrupt white men backed by the ne
gro vote. b. T. II.

Secretary L. Q C. Lamar, has our
thanks for "a copy of his report of the
Interior Department for the fiscal
year ending June Both, 1887. Much
of the report is devoted to the Gov
eminent lands and Indian reserva-
tions, and concludes with tribute
10 the efficiency and industry of his
able First Assistant, Hon. H. L..
MuldrOw.

1t is quite evident that Mr.. Hyde,
State Lecturer, has authority to Orga-
nize the negroes into alliances, and it
is now understood that they are not
to be admitted into the white allan
ces, but it is not so well understood
what connection, if any, the Planters
Alliance has with the Farmers ALI
ance. If there it no connection be-
tween the two, and the Planters ALI
ance is not under the jurisdiction of
the Farmers Alliance, why does it be-
come the duty of officers of the latter
to organize the negroes into alliances?
An article from Brother Hyde on this
subject would doubtless be instruc-
tive.-Signal- COpiahan.
