President Harrison's Policy In MAX
ing Appointments.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-President
Harrison has reached a conclusion that
ill cause deep disappointment to the
rmy of patriots who are besieging him
Nth applications for place. 1t is a con-
huston that may delay the filling OF GER
ain Offices with Republicans for months,
Ind possible in some cases for even a
bnger period.
The President has decided that he will
4 Of only move with extreme caution in
ne matter Of removals, but that where
he incumbent is competent for the Of
ee, against whom no charges can be
nade, he will, in many cases, be per-
nitted to serve out his term should he
ecline peremptorily to resign.
This information is given out by a
entleman whose relation with the Pres
Hent give to his utterances the charac-
er of a semi. official Endorsement. ut is
hid in explanation Of the course, that
President Harrison does not intend to
|nake martyrs of good men for no better
Ieasop than because Of their devotion to
Democratic principles. President Cleve-
and established an excellent precedent
& such matters, and President Harrison,
] is said, will be guided by it to a GER
ain extent at least.

GRENADA, MISS. SATURDAY, MARCH l6, 1889.
Southern SOlIdity-Why :

! The New York Herald says tina
Northern voters cannot understand "why
the South, divided in politics, divided il
opinion, should remain 'solid'-that il
what no Northern voter can understand
and it is this fact which creates irrita'
tion in the North, and which, since 1882
has gradually made the North almost al
solid as the South"
This state Of Northern ignorance on
the "solid" Southern phenomenon has
been commented on an explained hun.
dred times by the Southern press, and
the reason for the "soldity" has been
clearly stated as often. We may easily
understand how it should be that the
ordinary Northern voter is ignorant on
this subject. We cannot understand how
Northern editor fit for his duties can
be thus ignorant. The cause Of the So
lidity lies on the surface of current hiss
tory. 1t is simply the interposition of a
solid. unpenetrable and insurmountable
wall between social order and the eles
ments of social disorder, political degra
dation. governmental imbecility, waste,
robbery and bankruptcy. The man in
the North and elsewhere who assumes
the duties of an editor and don't know
that this.is the Foundation of Southern
political soldity we should say Is too
stupid for his role, and ought to turn it
over to man of more sense ard keener
powers of observation.
AS we have explained many times, the
South will not divide its vote between
The parties 50 long as the supremacy OF
one means good government and the
triumph of the other would mean the re-
verse. This section-we speak of the
South proper, not including the border
States-will not farego its political sols
idity to save the democratic or any other
party from defeat by the vote of the
''Soid North" The sentiment for solid.
ity is deeper and stronger than that
which desires national party success and
control. 1t IS simply an assertion of the
instinct Of selfspreservation, the most
powerful motive in the human breast.
If Northern voters cannot comprehend
this we know nothing likely to get the
idea into their heads, except short res
idence in Southern State, say SouthS

Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, West
Tennessee and Louisiana.-Chattanooga

man, the organ Of the Republican party
Of Mississippi, in hoisting the name Of
Judge Simrall to the head of its columns
is correctly interpreted by a number Of
our contemporaries in that State to fore
shadow a warm contest.
Mississippi has for SO long enjoyed
Democratic rule, without the necessity
for fighting hard for it, that the ranks o!
the party have not been as compact in
the few years as the friends of good gov
eminent could wish them to be.
But from the tone Of the Press and the
public men Of Mississippi it is plain that
personal prejudices and individual am
bitions are to be put aside for the gen~
eral good, and the party will be more
compact in the coming campaign than it
has ever been before. In a State ike
Mississippi, where the large black popu-
lation, led by designing politicians, is a
continual menace, it is not sufficient that
the Democracy shall win in its peIlodlc>
al struggles by bare majority.
Its enemies must be showed unde-.
The majority must be made gre; :
enough to emphasize the purpose OF the
Democrats of the State to control its ait
fairs. The prosperity Of the State, the
happiness of the people depend upon 1T.

as not to destroy the harmony OF its Va

On April 10. 1888, the Senate pass
ed an act admitting South Dakota as a
State. 1t has taken the Democrats in
the House ever since to make up their
minds to do something; and at last they
have done something that is little better
than nothing. The bill which has pass
ed the House provides for the admission
of South Dakota and Montana, provided
that at an election next November the
people of both South and North Dakota
vote for division; otherwise the Terrific
ry is to come in as one State. As to
North Dakota and Washington, they are
coupled with New Mexico, with the evil
dent purpose of keeping them out of the
Union till the latest possible moment
1t is believed that some assurance has
been given that the Democrats will con-
troll Montana, or else the bill would not
have gone through at all. The whole
treatment of the Territories by the House
