COY. LOWRY'S PASS.

The newspaper thck-and-thin cham
pions OF Gov. Lowry, Of Mississippi, were
probably mortified to learn that the Vice
President OF the Illinois Central Railroad
did not deny that pass had been issued
to Gov. Lowry, Of Mississippi. The state
ment OF this gentleman that passes had
also been issued to the Governors OF ILL
nois and Iowa, and probably OF Lou
isiana, win prove, doubtless, an aston
ishing revelation TO the members OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
and TnE APPEM is certainly cnti-
tied to the thanks Of the public for
the disclosure. In Gov. Lowry's case
there may be some question as TO whether
the pass is personal one or family
one, though it was a family pass tina,
the Lowry boys offered to Conductor Nc
Cuicheon, Of the Illinois Central. Mean
time the people Of Mississippi are wanting
TO know whether any Grand Jury in the
State has taken the matter up, and II not
why notY The statute is plain anC
| all the evidence is in. There was goot
deal Of railroad legislation during the Sos
sion OF the General Assembly just CLOSED
for which the railroads Of Mississippi arr

which required railroads TO pay certain
privilege taxes, failed to becomes law yer.
mystcriously. Indeed, we are quite sur
that the Grand Jury which shall consde
the whole subject Of pass-grandng an'
pass-acccpting by officials Of the State, will
do the public great service either b.
demonstrating that the statutes are obeye'
or that they are evaded.

Use all power and influence at his com
mand TO rid the State Of the convict lease
system. Recent disclosures show that the
horrors which marked the operation Of the
system in Mississippi have been paralleled
in Arkansas. The investigation which the
Board Of Penitentiary Commissioners Is
now conducting at Coal Hill has revealed
the most irightful atrocities. One war
den whipped seventy-ave convicts in one
night until the blood ran out Of their bod
les. Men have just been shod who had
gone barioolod all winter. A physician
found large number Of convicts whose
bodies were solid sores from whipping. A
warden ordered pit boss 10 90 and shoo'
Frank Tolbcrt who had hidden In IN,

have Just come TO the surface. Arkansal
