The Southern reveille. (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1876-1890, 1890-05-16

The Clarion Ledger learns with
pleasure, ana from the most un.
questioned authority, that cx-gOv-
crnnr Robert Lowry, and Col. VIM.
III. McCardlc are engaged in the
preparation of "A History Of Mis-
sissippi, from the carliesl period Of
its settlement by the French to the
death Of Jefferson Davis" "
The latter gentleman has long
been engaged in collecting material
for such a history, and it is known
To q few of his friends that Cavern
or Lowry, since his retirement from
the position Of chiefmagistrate, has
also had O similar work in contem-
plation.
Learning Of the purpose Of each,
these gentlemen had a personal con-
ference n few days since, the result
Of which was a determination to
unite their labors and produce a
joint history Of the state. The vol
ume will contain from five to six
hundred pages, and VIII be ready
for the press about the first Of Oc-
tOber.
The CLARION Ledger makes tins
announcement with very great pleas
ure, fer the want of a popular and
authentic history OF our state is
recognized on all hands, and it is
certain that the task cannot be COM
mitted to more competent gentle
man.
These gentleman are thoroughly
familiar with the state, its people
and its traditions, and we heartily
congratulate the people upon the
fact that Mcssrs. Lowry and Nc
Cardle are preparing what VIC can
safely say viii be an entirely relia-
BILE history Of our beloved state

We're etiquette really common sense
set to rule, the variations of custom
would indicate that each nation had a
different standard Of common sense.
Thus, an American going up or down
stairs in public hotel does not feel il
incumbent on him to remove his hat
il lady should bc ON the stairs. In
Europe Il would be considered very
rude IL n man did not uncover under
such circumstances. An American
entering parlor, expects the lady Of
the house TO rise aud greet him.
Ia Spain lady would seem TO for,
felt her solf-rcspect should she exhibit
50 much forwardncss. No one ever
saw a man and woman arm in arm in
the streets ofa Spanish ciiy without
knowing they were foreigners. A
Spanish husband, even, never takes
his wife's arm in public. Nor would
a Spanish woman receive male visit
or alone. Such is the system Of pro-
lection exercised over women by
grandce, tradeslnan and peasant in
that land.
An American would never think of
removing bis hat prior to speak
ing TO any man on tho street In
Holland, before speaking to the most
humble individual out Of do0E, a man
uncoyers. In Holland, too, men and
women rarely purchase at the same
stores, but in cases where they do, il n
woman discovers that men arc assem-
bled inside she retreats until they
leave. An American storckccper would
probably soon change this feature of
Dutch etiquette.
The Americans, English, Germans
and Russians shake hands with a man
in bidding him welcome. An Arabs
greeting is to rub his cheek against
that Of the person he saIutes aud kiss
him. A Frcnchman welcomes n friend
hy embracing and kissing him, though
by slow degrees this custom u being
upcrsedcd-Fhiladelphia Press.

THE MISSISSIPPI PROBLEM.


Since 1880 the negro immigration
into Mississippi has been very large
while there has been no white i'm.
migration of consequence. The ex
odus Of the negroes from the hill
country Of the south into the del
ia may be expected to continue foI
some years TO come, and the negro
majority in Mississippi, therefore,
has not reached its maximum.
Under such conditions the plain
necessity of the state is the disfran-
chisement Of the ilhtcrate and ire
sponsible voters-good government
cannot be maintained without it,
and that disfranchisement must be
by law. 1t would be the acme Of
FOLLY 70 expect a perpetuation of
any other method, and no govern
ment could be more dangerous and
undesirable than that based on fraud
and illegality.
The prime requisite of the suf-
frage clause to be incorporated in
the new constitution is evident. Ii
must provide an educational quail
iication for voters, and a limited
property qualification would also
prove safeguard.
The matter might be satisfactorily
regulated after this fashion: Let
the constitution make no qualifica-
tion as to suffrage, or at least fail to
prohibit an educational qualifica-
tion. Then the legislature could
pass an election law modelled after
that Of Massachusetts,, which, i'm ef-
feet, DISTINGUISHES the illiterates,
and this might be supplemented
with requirement that no man
vote who cannot exhibit n receipt
for his poll tax. That would nc
complish the end desired.
But il would be far better to in
corporate these provisions in the
organic Jaw. The matter is vital
to Mississippi and the state can't
afford to temporize. This is atime,
if there ever was one, when the ex-
pcdients Of the demagogue should
be trampled under foot and the
preiudiccs Of unreasoning conserva-
tism set roughly aside.
The new institution Of Missis-
sippi will be intended TO make per-
manent the rule Of the intelligent
and responsible classes-to set up a
barrier against the rabble hrrdc Of
Illiteratc negroes that infest the
state, and there is but one plain
way marked out 10 do il We hope
the trainers Of the constitution will
have the nerve to stand manfully
to that mark.-BirmiRgham Age

Eight years ago an English writer
announced 10 the world that of the
10000 Europeans who annually took
their own lives 1000 were children.
The youngest case then recorded was
that of boy of nine, who drowned
himself for grief at the loss of his pet
canary. Since 1880 we have beaten
the record many times. The number
of suicides has increased enormously
and America alone can point t.
more than one baby Of seven who has
wcaried Of bis hardly tasted existence.

The Lincoln County Times, re-
ferring to the recent failure Of the
Alliance Exchange at Brookhaycn,
says:
"The debts as shown by the as
signment amo1nt TO 81. .3l2. This
does not include the paid up capital
nor all the due bills which will
make the total shortage in the neigh
borhoOd ofsl5,0O0 Ii Is estimated
by the assignee tina the total assetrs
will not foot up more than $1,000"
The Brookhaven Leader estimates
the assets as follows:
"Stock, $500; accounts, $500 ;
building, 21 800; total, ST. 200; leav-
ing a shortage Of s4,20l. There
were about 1SO shareholders. each
Of whom had paid into the original
stock one share Of $40, amounting
in all to some eighteen hundred
dollars, but none Of this Is included
in the above figures"
The Times continues:
"The Exchange was organized
eighteen months ago and has been
doing a good business and appar-
emily q safe one, as no goods were
sold except for cash. Bills were
paid promptly on presentation, and
the stockholders felt that their mon
ey was safer than In a bank. InJan-
uary their fine brick building was
purchased and large cash payment
made. Just how seven or eight
thousand dollars could drop out Of
business conducted on a cash basis
in a few months is a question hard
to understand, and the feelings Of
the farmers who have lost money
by the failure are wrought up 70
such q pitch that il Is probable the
grand jury Will be called upon 70
investigate the matter.
"The worst feature in the case Is
that so many farmers, who could III
afford to lose even small amount,
were induced 10 leave money on
deposit with the agent, 70 DC tfaucu
out in the future at the prices pre-
vailing at the time Of deposit-or.
in other words, they were induced
to gamble in futures. a little re-
Election would have told them that
no merchant financially sound could
afford to do that kind Of business.
One man was caught for $500 IN this
way, others for smaller amounts
down to one dollar Many deposit
ed money borrowedon deed Of trust
money with which they expected
to buy their summers provisions,
and such we fear will suffer before
crop can be marketed again. No
account was kept of the deposits 80
there is no telling how much was
lost by the failure. The system of
bookkeeping seems To have been
very loose one. For instance,
between the first Of April and the
first Of May, the stock and cash de-
Q eased $500 and the debts increas-
ed $500 OF a difference Of $1,000 In
one month"
