"AudaclOuS and Desperate. /"
rYazoo Herald.l


From the Chiekasaw Messenger of
last week we extract the following
part of an editorial under the above
heading:
"A prominent official in
this State is quoted as saying that he
desired the Governor should call an
extra session of the Legislature, that
appropriations might be made out of
the State treasury to aid in rebuilding
the levees at once. The Messenger
certainly has ne prejudice against the
people of the valley; indeed we have
many warm friends in that section of
the State, and we have for some time
past, been gratified to see what we
thought were evidences of growing
fraternity between the bill counties
and the Delta, but we insist that a
scheme to tax us for the protection of
the alluvial lands of the valley, is both
unreasonable and unjust, We cannot
believe that the majority of the think
ing, intelligent people of the bottom
would seriously entertain any such
idea. The suggestion has been made,
however, from high official source
and il is well the people should know
the fact aud be prepared to guard
their interest"
The Herald would be delighted to
have the Messenger name the "high
oiliciaT spoken Of 1t is not the de-
sire nor purpose OF the people of the
valley to tax other portions of the
State to aid in rebuilding, keeping up
or in any way bear the expenses of
the levees. To satisfy the Messenger
and its readers of this fact, we will
state that not one.half of Yazoo coun-
ty pays dollar of leyee tax, for the
reason that most of the county is out
of the levee District. Ii, there
fore, one part of u county is exempt
because of its not being in the portion
subject to overflow, certainly our peo-
pie have more sense than TO attempt to
tax those living more than hundred
miles away. The "high official does
not know the citizens of the valley, or
he would never have made such sug-
gestion.
The TIMES joins the Herald in the
assurance that there is no thought or
desire in the Delta for such action by
the State as the Messenger apprehends
The Messenger has probably been mis-
informed as to what the I'll. o." said

WE'LL PUT.

The Hon. Il. Ii. Farrar, of New Or
leans, in an interview with tho New
York Herald, thus discusses the lottery
extension:
| am opposed to the extension of the
lottery charter even if they should
bind themselves to pave the State with
gold. An extension of that charter
means the domination of a corrupt
power in politics and the political
slavery of the people of this State. No
arrangement the State can make with
the lottery is anything more than a
revocable license. Such an agreement,
as decided by the Supreme Court of
the United States, is outside of the do
main of contract and entirely within
the police power; therefore. it rests
entirely in the good will of the grant
Ing power. The grant of a lottery
charter being, therefore, precarious,
the lottery company will be compelled
to protect IT, The more valuable the
grant, the greater the incentive to pro-
tect it. Now, the only way they can
protect such grant, is by perpetually
controlling the majority of every leg
islature that may hereafter be elected
in the State. They must, therefore, be
a perpetual factor in politics, and a
factor only of corruption, because it is
only by the exercise of such widespread
corruption in the future as they noto.
rlously exercised in the past that they
can hope to control a majority of al
future legislatures. They will then bt
brought into such relations with the
whole gamut of politics that they will
necessarily end by controlling the
whole politics of the State. The result
of this will be that all honorable ant
Independent men will be excluded
from public office, and no man wht
will not bow his head to the degrading
yoke can hope to obtain any politica
honor"
No thoughtful man who Is gsidet
by social and political moral tenets car
resist the force of Mr.. Farrar's objec
tion to the Louisiana Lottery. 1t wa
the recognition of the truth of wha
he says that caused the TIMES to say
that if the Lottery Is to be licensed, i
would far better for Louisiana in
material way even. to charter it gratis

OYER THE STATE.



Jackson, Miss, May 24.-The Su-
preme Court this morning announced
the rc-appointment of Oliver Clifton
for the ensuing term of four years.
Mr.. Clifton has been clerk for twelve
years, and his efficiency is recognized
by the bar throughout the State.
There have been several important
transfers of real estate in the city with
in the past week.
Mr.. w. Nj. Dubard, the brother of
our excellent fellow townsman A. G..
Dubard has purchased the lot from
Davis Il McMahon where the Ruby Sa-
loon was located on the corner of
Market aud Main Streets and he will
ut once erect thereon a handsome two
story brick building. The apprecia-
tion of property in tins part of the city
within the past five years has been
almost phenomenal. Then II was COW
cred with little old dilapidated shan
ties, now IL is being built up with state
ly brick structures-handsome fronts
that would do credit to any city in the
State. The beauty about the push aud
progress of the place is it is steady,
substantial and lasting-therc is not a
foot of land in the city or the contigu-
Gus country which has not doubled in
value the last half decade; and the
prospects are that 1t will continue
steadily and surely TO appreciate as
greatly for the next five years as II has
the past.
Mr.. w. Rush has purchased the East
property on Howard street where Mrs.
East now has her boarding house.
These houses will be removed from
the lot aud brick stores put in their
places. We make the. prediction that
ii will not be five years before this en-.

called 10 order at 1890 by District Or.
ganizer NJ. +, Moran, OF Wheeling, who
stated the object OF the meeting, US set
forth in the call, to be the election Of
permanent District officers and the
adoption Of ways and means for carrying
on the affairs OF the District and the
consideration Of the Columbus scale Of
prices for mining. y ~
A Committee on Credentials was t,p.
pointed and reported that five delegates.
representing all the, mining districts Of
the State, were present and were enti.
tied to seats. The chair then proceeded
to appoint the various committees, one
on Order OF Business, one on Resolu.
tions, one on Ways and Means and one
on Finance. In order to give the CON-
mittees. time to eprepare their reports,
a recess was taken until 30 o'clock.
The time this afternoon was spent in
the election Of officers and receiving the
reports OF the committees. NJ. F. Moran
wus elected President; s. NJ. Smith,
Vice President; Henry Smith, secreta.
ry. The Executive COMMITTEE is com.
posed Of A. Jewell, Patrick McAuley
and +. F. Prickett, together with the
President and Secretary.
The Columbus scale was adopted as
the price to be demanded throughout
the State after May first. This is 70
cents ton for screened and so for the
run Of mine, which is 9! cents more
than is now paid in the Wheeling dis.
trict and y more than in the kanawha
Valley. 1t is not likely the Kanawha
operators will accede to the demand,
and strike is imminent. All miners
in the State are eligible to membership.
The initiation fee was placed at one
dollar, and monthly dues at ten cents.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing the
action Of the miners Of the Flat Top
region, in. demanding an advance OF s
cents ton.

ofGenevn County, Ala.
h OZARK, ALA, April 2l.-The upper
portion Of Geneva county was visited by a
destructive tornado Saturday afternoon.
Houses, barns, fences were torn to pieces.
Fragments were carried upinto the clouds
and became scattered in all directions.
The track OF the tornado was only a few
hundred yards IN width when it first
struck the earth, but it made clean
sweep over everything for distance of
miles. The whole black mass OF storm,
cloud arose above the earth and with a
roar louder than thunder rushed on
striking the earth again two miles away.
:, When it struck the second time, the
path was wider, but the force not so
great. Fences and houses weie blown
down for distance of two miles and
then tho force Of the storm seemed to
have been spent. ''s .aE ~
p The loss Of life ia small, owing to the
country being thinly settled, and the
fact that the terrible roar Of the storm
was heard by number Of people in time
for them to get out OF the track. No
towns were struck. The path of the
tornado was 20 miles from the nearest
telegraph office.
