Without resorting to diatribe of per-
sonalities against Mr.. John McNicoI, the
gentleman to whom the nomination of
the Peoples Party for Probate Judge
has been rendered, it can be shown that
his position upon that ticket, should he
conclude to accept the nomination,
would be, to say the least, anomalous.
Mr.. McNicol has been for years a Re.
publican. Every member of the party
is allowed certain latitude of opinion,
and while Mr.. McNicol may have exer.
cised that right to degree either greater
or less than some, yet he maintained his
adherence to its cardinal doctrines, and
put forth active efforts for its success.
He was known and wished to be known
as q worker. So active and effective was
he in contributing to the triumph of the
Republican Party that he became an
active, though as yet ineffective, appli-
cant for an appointment from the Re.
publican administration. The fact of
Mr.. McNicol being an applicant for q
consular appointment of great RESPONSE
bility, dignity and emolument, indicates
the estimation which he and his friends
placed upon his agency in bringing
about Republican victory.
1t is no discredit to those who fight
the battles of party to ask some recog-
milton from the appointive power pro.
portienate to their instrumentality in
achieving the result. They do not de-
mand it as something due nor ask it as
a reward, and if these tokens of admins
trative appreciation are not Immediately
forthcoming they smother such feelings
OF personal disappointment as may rise,
and remain firm in their allegiance to
the principles of the party. Mr.. Nc
Nicol, as was said, is an applicant for
office. His papers are now on file in
the Appointment Bureau. Within the
last three months active efforts were
made in his behalf. As late as three
weeks ago Senator Quay promised to CO.
operate with Mr.. Pugsley in urging any
claim he might wish to make for his
constituent. For Mr.. McNicol at this
time to have accepted nomination from
party which is attempting to array
itself against his own party would have
been inexplicable under the circum-
stances. If he had received a rebuff
from the leaders of the Republican
Party the action might admit of expla-
nation. He has not. 1t is true that the
mills at Washington grind exceeding
slow. 1t is true that hope deferred
maketh person very tired. But every
thing requires time, and if Mr.. McNicol
should accept the nomination for Probate
Judge, without at least awaiting the re.
suit of bis applications now on file, his
position would be, as we said before,
quite phenomenal. He will see to it
that all his claims upon the administra.
ticn are formally Withdrawn before he
accepts, If he should accept, the nomi-
nation Of the Peoples Party.

Judge Calhoun, President of the Con-
stitational Convention of the State of
Mississippi, in speech before that body
admitted that the real object in framing
a new constitution is to restrict negro
suffrage. The plan he favors is that of
dividing the State into thirteen election
districts, eight OF which shall have white
majorities. The counties in which the
blacks predominant are to be placed in
the five remaining districts. All State
officers are chosen by electors from these
serrymandered districts. By this plan
the possibility OF negro majority is pre-
vented without abridging the right OF
any man to vote, which would be an
ingenious evasion of the XIV amendment.
Many prominent Democrats in Missis-
sippi have expressed willingness to
legally disfranchise the negro and thus
permit Congress to cut down their con-
gressional and electoral representation,
rather than submit to the domination of
black majorities. If the fifteenth amend
ment did not prevent the restriction OF
the suffrage, many States would now
take the course contemplated by Missis-
sippi and voluntarily suffer the reduc-
tion in representation provided for in
the fourteenth, since the rapid growth
of the Republican northwest takes
away the hope OF their being able to
maintain majority in Congress or get
possession OF the Presidency,

The NEws-HERALD has always ex-
pressed itself as in sympathy with the
main objects of the Farmers Alliance,
as those objects were understood by
many of the members when they enter
ed it. 1t has freely given its columns
for the use Of the Alliance officially and
up to the present issue has published
communications from individual mem
bers, and extracts for the sentiments of
which it will not be held responsible.
It has considered the Alliance as nom
political, in accordance with the views
set forth by the Farmers Union at Co.
lumbus, and as carried out by the or
ganization all over the state with the
exception of this county. Whether the
Alliance of the county will remain with
the body of the organization in the
State or allow themselves to be drawn
off by few leaders into an ambitious
attempt to organize Peoples Party
without the people remains to be seen.
This will not be done without a struggle
as is shown by the expression OF several
Subordinate Alliances and many indi-
vidual members. As long as the ALI
ance in this county remains non-partisan
we shall continue to aid in every way
possible, but hereafter we do not pro-
pose to give space to such utterances as
have heretofore appeared without COM
ment in our columns.

When a Man Wants u Wife.

Men universally admire them, and like

would not think Of marrying them.
They know that snowy women are us
ually dashing. aud few sensible men
want to marry ,lashlng women. Like
dashing horses they take the road aud
make their competitors jealous. but 1t
is only u question Of time until they
make dash that wrecks the whole
