A Heavy Responsibility.

The act calling the constitutions al
convention provides among other
things as follows:
AFTER said members shall have
taken an oath to support the consti-
tuition and the laws of the United
States. and to faithfully discharge
their duties as delegates, they shall
organize" ETC.. ETC., SO that each dele
gate will assume the solemn response
bility Of supporting the constitution OF
the United States
What that constitution is Is not a
question OF doubt so far as it apper-
tains to the passage OF any State con-
stitutional act regulating the suffrage
in Mississippi.
The Fifteenth amendment to the
constitution OF the United States pro-
vides that ''the right OF citizens of the
United States to vote shall not be de-
MED or abridged by the United States
or by any State on account Of race.
color or previous condition of servi-
tude."
In the face Of these requirements,
thesact calling the convention and the
constitution OF the United States,
there IL little or no latitude given the
convention 10 deny or abridge the
electoral franchise, either by u prop
erty or educational qualification. nor
can speciOus argument or the appre-
tensions OF danger alter the condi-
tions.
The introduction into the conven-
tlon OF any plans which seek to avoid
or circumvent the plans and unan-
biguous language contained in the
constitution. will be but idle words
and waste of precious time.
The delegates TO the convention will
have heavy responsibility resting
upon them such as requires all of the
calmest thought, wisdom and integrity

YOU.

may be in very few words. The second
question may lind you so inactive that
there may be suspicion OF idleness
about you. The average of human
lie is SO short that you cannot afford
idleness. II you are guilty of that you
will not accomplish all you ought to
In the few years you are permitted to
live The third question involves all
your future life. but If you have
reached the busy age and are we'll
ba.anced man or woman, your work
speaks for you. But if you are a
young man or woman just drifting
along in the present and have no
thought Of the future. you should put
that question squarely to yourself and
then with what brain you have, con-
suit your tastes and inclinations.

possibilities and probabilities thers
are in you and before you. and then

future. When you have decided, unite

make the world better for your hav-

Hemingway Convicted.

The jury in the Hemingway case,
after beng locked up all night, came
into court at O'Clock Thursday morn
ing with verdict of guilty, and recon
mended the defendant to the mercy OF
The court. The indictment tried was
the one charging the ex treasurer to
$315,612 19 Of the States money.
Very few had expected more than a
disagreement of the jury, and the ans
nouncement of the verdict created
much excitement. The defondant was
ysibly affected. The defendant at
once moved for an arrest Of Judgment !,
which, if granted, would have had the
effect Of quashlng the Indictment. The
motion was overrnled, and then q
lengthy argument by the defense ful~
lowed for y new trial This motion
was also overruled by the court.
There was great crowd standing in
the court room when Judge Chrisman
asked Col. Hemingway what he had TO
say why sentence should not be pro-
nounced on him. In . firm voice he
asserted his innocence Of ever having
converted any Of the States money to
his own use. He urged the injustice Of
the court in forcing him to = precipitate
trial, and vehsmently denounced the
action OF District Attorney Miller, al
leging in strong terms that be had been
unjust and unfair in conducting the
prosecution. especially SO IN referring.
in his closing speech, 20 matters not
IN testimony.
Judge Chrisman stated there was
nothing in the evidence going to show
that the defendant had converted to his
own use any of the States funds, and
that his friends did not think he had
done SO, Snd upon this point the court
would express no opinion, but that the
evidence had sustained the Indictment
charging him with failure to pay over
to his successor, ana that he would
sentence him to the penitentiary for
FIVE years, which is the maximum pun
jshment for the crime he was convicted
ct. An appeal was taken aud the de-
fendant released on bond of $4,000 to
appear before the supreme court in Uc-
tot er. The other bond OF $4,000, to
answer the remaining indictment of
en- oezzlement, etc. holds good,
sentence beng passed, Col. Heming-
wav could control his feelings no
lon ger, but sinking in his chair burst
irto tears. His brother, son and other
relatives and scores of friends crowded
around him, evincing their sorrow at
hs condition and loyalty to him.
Strong men wept. Indeed, it was one
of he saddest scenes ever witnessed in
a court room.
While the State upheld the substan-
tial correctness Of the reports and books
OF the ex-treasurer, which showed his
shortage to the satisfaction OF the jury,
the opinion Is still strong In the COM
mun1ty that Col. Hemingway, while
gully OF almost criminal negligence in
the conduct Of his office, is innocen. of
app opriating the States money to his
own use.-Avalanche.

tFrom our regular ccrrespondent.l
What has become of the principle
Of fprotecsion so prominent in the
Chicago platform Of 1888?
The hardest blow yet received by
the tafiff and the tariff ring, here
tOlore the sole issue and source of
hustcnance, respectively, of the repub-
lican party, has just been delivered
by The President. He has had
occasion to be seriously provoked
hy the manner in which his sugges-
stions were tabled during the present
session. by both Houses Of Congress.
In fact. the old Republican Ship

Fact is, we know very little about wo-
man suffrage as practical question.
We hear good deal about it of theo-
retical nature from the ladies of the
Wimadaughsis and others. But the facts
from which to generalize any definite or
rational conclusion are not to be had,
unless we go for them to the mining
camps of Wyoming. the only state or
territory in the Union, save Utah. where
woman suffrage has been tried. In KAN
sas, the Holy Land OF isms, an abridged
sort of political equality exists by virtue
of which women are permitted to vote on
educational matters, such as the election
of school boards and county superintend-
ents.
They are also given the right to vote
for municipal officers in all Incorporated
towns or cities. They have enjoyed this
At first, there was a pretty respectable
female vote, but at each succeeding
election since the vote has grown
smaller, and last spring at the municipal
elections throughout the state the female
vote dwindled to the merest fraction, iu-
dicatIug almost total lack OF interest
except in few places where fierce Local
fights enabled the men to prevail on the
women to ride in hacks or other convey
ances to the polls. In Kansas, the situ-
alton is extremely discouraging to the
women suffragists, who invariably fill the
state with their ablest lecturers previous
to an election. The novelty OF voting
died out with the first election held after
the right was granted. and now it Is
difficult to get any but the masculine and
strong minded near the polling booths.
In Utah women voted with the same
they clung TO polygamY. The franchise
there was utilized to bolster no the cor
rupt aud debasing social and religious
system In vogue. Zeal for an unholy
cause upheld and supported it. Instead
of reforming or correcting evils. 1t only
aggravated and intrenched them the
more firmly. Nothing but uumixed evil
resulted from woman suffrage among the
Mormons.
In Wyoming no fair test of its workings
can be had for the reason that the class
80 . he
mining camps of that rotten borough are
largely those whose moral or political
character and conduct cannot be called
exemplary. At the election held in that
territory last spring for the adoption of
the new constitution, only about 5000
votes all told were cast. So 1t will be
seen that there are not many women in
the state, or but a small number of those
residing there voted
