The new county of Pearl has
heen created by our Legislature.
This county was the creature of
the Republicans and Democratic
Legislature abolished it as not self
sustaining, and there is no necessi-
ly for its revival now, but it was a
job for somebody. Its formation
takes a slice off Marion and Han
cock counties with Poplarville as
the county site.

DEMONSTRATION OF OFFICIALS.

- wy - - RNfNfNAAANAAA WIN AIA'
State the Legislature before ad
journment appointed a committe,
of trustworthy gentlemen to in
yestigate our State offices, which i,
a very proper step in the night di
rection. Let the investigation be
thorough and rigid and all along
the line from the Treasurer down
to the humblest public trust and
report any and all delinquencies
however Insignificant. There
shouldbe no white-washingin their
reports, for the people will not
calmly submit to it, as the appoint.
ment of this committee indicates.
They demand that the public af-
fairs be not kept so mysteriously
hid from the public view, but that
be so open to scrutiny that he who
runs may read, which is right and
proper.
The game of bluff on the part of
officials to prevent the consumma-
ton of this end, will not work ;
they are but the servants of
the people, and as such they are
in duty bound to give an account
Of their stewardship to their mas
tiers. An honest official courts in,
vestigation, but should he by pro-
testations and bluff try to avert it,
then it may be put down that that
there is something wrong in the
conduct of the affairs of his office.
and should it prove so, and there is
a plausible excuse to offer for such
delinquency the people will Ger
tainly condone his acts. But if
his acts are of a criminal nature
let him meet The fate he so richly
deserves. He knew the conse-
quences Of the failure to perform
the duties of his office according to
law. If an official is incompetent
he should not desire to be fostered
in office at the public expense, and
incompetency is always hurtful to
the public veal. The people of
this State are tired of giving places
Of trust to candidates on mere
sentimentalities, and we are glad
to know that a new leaf is being
turned over in this respect.
1t is but natural that the incom-
petents, rascals and demagogues
should kick, but it will avail them
nothing. They had just as well
make up their minds to submit to
the will of the people, peacefully ;
for no amount of kicking will turn
the sweeping tide of public senti
ment that is the cause of this
grand movement for reform. Me
diocrity must give way to honesty
and compentency demagogueism
must give way tohonest conviction;
corruption must give way to hon
esty; the bulIdozer must give way
to the considerate and delinquency
of official acts must give way to
the open administration of those
who court investigation. "Hew
to the line, let the chips fall where
they may!"

considers it in bad taste for any
member of the present Legislature
To become candidates for the Com
stiluIional Convention las they
created the thing" We differ with
Brother Mavers. The Legislature
merely acted in compliance with a
preponderance Of the sentiment
among the people Of Mississippi.
The Legislature contains many
nOnentities whose presence IN the
Constitutional Convention would
be altogether undesirable but it
also numbers in its ranks some
whose absence would be equally
regretable. Let The people choose
