Washington, Dec. 81 Press dispatehl
As the hour Of noon approached the
noise and confusion increased upon the
tioOr and the executive and diplomatic
galleries were filled. AS the hands of
the clock pointed to the hour of l2,
Clerk Clark called the House to order
and proceeded to read the roll Of men,
bers-elect. The roll-eall showed the
presence of S27 members. the three
absentees being O'Neil, of Indiana !;
Randall, Of Pennsylvania, and Whit
thorne, of Tennessee.
More than a quorum having been
disclosed, nominations for speaker were
in order, and Mr.. Reed was placed In
nomination by Mr. Henderson of Illi-
nois. The mention of Mr.. Reeds name
was the signal for applause on the Re
publican side, which was returned with
interest by the Democrats when Mr..

Mr.. Carlisle for the honorable position.
The vote resulted for Reed l66, for
Carlisle 1854, for Cummings, of New

said:
Gentlemen OF the House OF Representatives;
| thank you for the high office which
your voices have bestowed upon me.
IL would be impossible not to be moved
by its dignity and honor, yet you may
well imagine that am at this moment
more impressed by Its responsibilities
and duties. Under our system of Gov
ernment as II has been developed these
responsibilities and duties are both po-
litical and parliamentary. So far as
the duties are political | sincerely hope
that they may be performed with a
proper sense of what Is due to all the
people of the whole country. SO far
as they are parliamentary hope with
equal sincerity that they may bo per.
formed with n proper sense of what Is
due to both sides of the chamber. To
the end that ! may be successful in
carrying out your wishes, invoke the
consideration, Judgment and cordial
aid of all the members of this House.
The next step In the organization Of
the House was the swearing In of th,
mombers-elect, and they ranged them
selves In squads OF twenty at a time in
the space In trout of the Clerks desk
The oath was administered by th,
Speaker.
When this duty was finished, tn,
house proceeded to the election of tn,
other officers.
Edward Mcpherson was elected
clerk; A. y. Holmes sergeant-at-arms
Z. A. Adams doorkeeper, and JAS. /
Wheat postmaster
When 1t came to the election of ,

Chas. B. Ramsdell, the nominee of tn,
Republican caucus was defeated, an,
the chaplain Of the last house, VIM. II
Millburn, was reelected.
These officers were then sworn in.
Messrs. Mckinley, Cannon and Car

The Y. n N. v. X. X. Tax Case.
[Jackson Commonwealth |


Attorney General Miller has been
formally notified of the aflirmance by
the United States supreme court of the
Judgment of the supreme court of Mis-
sissippi, which denied the exemption
from taxation claimed by the Yazoo
aud Mississippi Valley Railroad CON-
pany under Its charter granted IN 1882.
Ii Is doubtful II civil case of such i'm
poriance ever went through the state
courts and supreme court of the Uni
ted States on such short time. For
some years II was thought that this
company was exempt from taxation
and the question was not raised until
In the fall of 1887, when the attorney
general held that the company could
claim no exemption until the compile
tion OF Its road 10 the Mississippi river
The language of the exemption clause
being as follows: "The property Of
said railroad company shall be exempt
from all taxation for term of twenty
years from the completion of its rail-
road to the Mississippi river but not
to extend beyond twenty-five years
from the approval of this act. And
upon the expiration of the period
aforesaid said company shall be taxed
as other property In this state, and all
taxes to which II may be subject shall
be paid into the treasury of the state
to be dealt with as the legislature may
direct"
No taxes having been collected fol
previous years the attention of the leg.
islature of 1888 was called 10 the mat.
ter by the attorney general and upon
his suggestion, an act was framed tc
assess delinquent railroads for back
taxes. Under this act the Y. e. M. v
was assessed tor 1884, 1885, 1886 and
1887 but enjoined the various sheriff.
from proceeding to collect.
The case was first heard before
Judge Cowan in 1888, who rendered Q
decree dissolving the Injunction, from
this decree and appeal was taken to the
supreme court where IL was affirmed
thence the company appealed to the
supreme court Of the United States in
sisting that the charter did contain an
exemption; that this exemption was
contract, the obligation of which wa,
impaired by the act of 1883 contrary te
the constitution of the United States.
The result of the decision is that the
company must pay taxes until, and ex
cept 1t shall complete its road to tn,
river, then its term of exemption will
! expire in 1907, so that under no view
can II obtain more than sixteen oil
seventeen years of exemption.
II remains to be seen whether suci
an exemption viii operate as an In
ducement to the plan Of development
designed by the charter for the Delt,
+ region and thus secure for jackson
another outlet to the Mississippi river
The decree of the supreme court il
favor of the several tax collectors TO
the use of the State aud their countie

The Anti Constitutional Convention
ists who apprehend dire trouble, are
respectfully referred to Alabama,
Georgia and Louisiana. They have
not been wiped out Of cxistence.-Me-
ridian News.
The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1889-12-07

Our friend will remember that the
whites are largely In the majority in
both Georgia and Alabama, and that
in no one of the three States named
was suffrage in any way, shape or
manner abriged or extended by its new
Constitution, nor was the election OF
judges provided for in Louisiana where
several districts have black majoritics
as in Mississippi.-Aberdecn Exam
liner.
The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1889-12-07

Possibly the fact of white majorities
In Georgia and Alabama had some
thing to do with the abridgement
of suffrage. If we are not In error
there has been profound dissatisfaction
in Louisiana that the constitutional
Convention held in that Slate ten years
since, did NOT in some "shape or man.
ner abridge suffrage" Why this was
not done, we will let the N. o. States
answer:
When the Louisiana Constitutional
Convention of 1879 assembled IN New
| Orleans, nine-tenths of the country
members were strongly in favor of IN
cooperating a poll tax qualification in
the new organic law ofthe State. Had
those members adhered TO their origi-
nal purpose, they would have bestowed
a blessing upon Louisiana; but they
speedily fell into the hands of New
Orleans politicians, who wanted to
handle the hoodlum vote of the city,
and they were not only seduced from
their original and wise purpose, but
actually induced TO sweep out of exis-
tence even the few feeble defenses Of
society against unqualified suffrage.
If our Mississippi neighbors determine
10 hold convention, we sincerely hope
they will consider this sort of quail.
flcation and conclude to adopt It. We
arc quite certain that ii would dc
much good to elevate the standard o.
citizenship in the State.

Henry Georges Doctrine.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 18.-The conven-
ton of Knights of Labor to-day went
into the Committee of the Whole on
The land question. The following res
olutien was adopted, as the fourth
plank of the declaration Of principles
of the Knights That land, including
all the natural sources of wealth, is the
heritage ofall the people and should
not be subject to speculative traffic.
Occupancy and use shall be the only
title to the possession of land. Taxes
upon lands should be levied upon its
full value for use, exclusive of improve
ments, and should be sufficient to make
for the community all the unearned in
crement. After the committee had
risen and the assembly had adopted
the resolution, Mr.. Powderly and A.
w. Wright, of the Executive Board
were appointed a committee TO attend
the National Farmers Alliance Con-
vention, al st. Louis.

The Wheat Crop of the State.

Secretary Heron, of the State Board of
Agriculture. took advantage of the recent
meeting of the board in this city to get the
statements of it's members as to the condi-
ton of wheat in their respective neighbor-
hoods. As these members are practical
farmers and their observations cover near
ly every section of the State, the report is a
valuable one. Taking 100 as the standard
for tirst-class condition, Gibson county was
reported at 100, with 20 per cent. less acre
age; Harrison, 90: Monroe. %; Jefferson, 100;
Bartholomew, 100; Henry, 80; Johnson, IS;
Parke, 90; Montgomery, so; Huntington, 100;
Tippecanoe, IS; Wabash, IS, with ID pei
cent. less acreage; Fulton, S5; LaPorte. 100;
DeKalb, so; Shelby, s.; Grant, 60; st. Joseph,
100. In all cases where a change in the
acreage is not noted, the area planted was
given as up to the average of last year, and
the result shows that the prospects for a
gOOd crop are ENCOURAGING. 81
