The Mississippi Constitutional C0nven-
iIOn.
[Times-Demncrat.l


Tho Mississippi Constitutional Con-
vention is rapidly drawing to a close
aud win be through its work this
week. The feeling throughout the
State is very much opposed to long
discussions of the questions before the
convention rather than to prompt ac-
tion, and the members themselves are
much Of this way of thinking and cry
"question" whenever long speech Is
threatened. They want to get home
as soon as possible
At the same time II cannot bo said
that the convention has been long at
work, and II will have framed a new
constitution for the State in about as
short time as this has ever been done.
There was, as expected, long debate
over the suffrage question, but consid-
ering the importance and difficulty Of
this question, no one can say that 1t
was too long. Since then, the conyeu-
tion has gone TO work In very busi-
ncss-like way and settled all matters
coming before it promptly and effect
ually. When the time IL has taken to
complete this important work is COM
pared with the long session of conven-
tions framing constitutions in other
States. the people Of Mississippi will
have reason to feel obligated to their
convention for its quick and excellent
work in settling SO many important
matters.

Melnpnls seminar.
To close observer Of the financial
policy pursued by he Republican
party since the close ofthe war, II has
been apparent that the favontism
shown to the Eastern capitalists by that
party, aud the ignoring of the inter-
ests of the West and South, would,
sooner or later, force these sections to
act together for protection of their
interests.
Those sections have borne up under
the burdens heaped upon them by un-
just legislation passed by the Repub-
licans, and have hoped that tho Re-
publican leaders, seeing the injurious
effect which its financial legislation
was having upon these sections, would
change Its policy and enact legislation
in the interests of tho whole people,
instead OF that Of money power Pc
titions to this end have been sent to
Congress, but the answer has been tho
Mckinley act and threatened force
bin.
The effect of this legislation has
been to bring the West and South into
closer union. In view Of the action of
the Republican Congress, life long Re-
publicans in the South aud West de-
clare that tho demagogues have got
control of the Republican party, aud
are running the party In the interests
of the wealthy class and for Doodle.
These Republicans declare that they
will not longer affiliate with the party,
but will do all in their power to de-
feat IL
