The Jackson correspondent Of
the New Orleans Picayune tele-
graphs the following remarks of
Mr.. w. S. McAllister, one of the
highest officials of the Alliance in
the State, to that paper:
81 have read the views Of Sena-
tors George and Walthall on the
Sub-treasury, with qualification.
These gentlemen will be over
whelmingly Endorsed upon this
question and upon their course
generally. For Mississippi to fail
to return them would be calami-
ty to the state and country at
large. Their views are shared by
most of the leading alliance men
Of Mississippi with whom / have
recently talked. of them the
highest officials in the order.
"The preservation of white su-
premacy in Mississippi is para
mount to any and all economic
questions. The element in Miss
issippi, with but few honorable
exceptions, which is forcing the
sub-treasury question to the front,
and seeking to make an issue in
the selection of members to the
legislature, is the disaffected ele-
ment which came to the surface in
the greenback fat craze and maze
rializsd In The banking campaign
N 1851, joining with Republicans
against the regular Democracy.
Their efferts new will fail, as they
did then.
"The attempt to make the sub
treasury question a test in the
election of senator's is unfortunate
in the extreme, and will inevitably
result in failure and disaster to
the alliance, as it did in Georgia,
Alabama and elsewhere"
These are manly words, and will
be Endorsed by every goOd-think-
ing man. As Mr.. McAllister we'll
says, "the preservation of white
supremacy is paramount to any
and all economic questions" The
Democratic party, through Its
leaders, is the only party to be
trusted with this all-important
question.

The killing Of the eleven Ital-
ians Ii New Orleans last Saturday
was a bold step. These men wero
charged with a most outrageous
crime--assassinating Chief OF Po-
lice Hennessey in October last.
They had been tried; all but three
Of them were acquitted by a jury.
The verdict, in the face Of the
plain and unmistakable evidence
Of the guilt Of the accused, but adj
ded flames to the slumbering en-
bers. The sequel was that the
people Of an outraged community
took the law in their own hands,
feeling that should this lawless
class be again turned loose, not a
single life in New Orleans would
be safe. The band TO which these
Italians belonged was such that il
was impossible to secure the con-
viction Of any Of their number, no
matter how heinous crime they
might commit. The killing of
these eleven was not the work Of a |
mob. and it might also be said, |
was not unjust, for the leading |
citizens, by deliberate action, de-
termined that the death Of their
beloved and respected officer should
be avenged. The jury and court
failing, there was nothing left for
the people to do, than what they
did.
We believe the result will be
wholesome it certainly should be.
It will teach criminals that though
they may bribe juries, suborn the
courts and officers they cannot
the people. The meas
lres resorted to to accomplish the
desired ends, were extreme, but
he magnitude of the case demand
ID them. Law-abiding, peaceful
citizens, those who wish to see
such lawless bands as the Italian
Malta destroyed, viii not censure,
but commend the action of the
citizens of New Orleans in what
hey did. 1t had TO be done, one
time or another. Let it be hoped
that the fate of the midnight as
sassins Of New Orleans will be a
warning to those Of other cities.
Such acts as the killing of Chief
Hennessey must be avenged
Deaceably il possible.

THE HERALDsis of the opinion
that the withdrawal of Senator
Walthall makes it necessity to
so fix the Constitution that United
States Senators can be elected at
the special sessions of the Legis-
lature. This can be done by linn
iting the terms of the Speaker of
the House and the Clerk to two
years. The Federal law only says
the Senator shall be hallotted for
on the second Tuesday after the
Legislature meets and its, officers
are elected. Thus, if the terms of
the officers of the House were made
two years, and not four. as the
Constitution now infers, the Seia-
tors would be elected one year be-
fore the expiration of their terms,
instead of nearly four. Could
Senator Walthall's successor be
elected in 1894, instead Of 1892,
questions now before the people
would be more thoroughly under
stood, and more time given to
make q wise selection.

Appcal-AvalanclIe Special.
| GRENADA, Miss, Mar. 11.-sen
ator Walthall arrived here Salur
day and today gave the Sentinel
the following letter FOR publica-
tion, which will appear in the next
issue Of that paper:
GRKxADA. Mlss., Marrh .. 1891.
TO the People Of Mississippi;
Although my present term AZ
United States Senator will not end
till March, 1895, under existing
law my successor must be chosen
BY the legislature TO be elected
this year.
The time fer nominating candi-
dates for the Legislature Is ap-
preaching. and presumably this
subject will enter largely into their
selection.
Seeing that il is somewhat gem
orally assumed that ] will Be
candidate for reelection, / deem
it proper without delay, to make
this public declaration that / have
no such purpose.
At the expiration Of my term,
for personal reasons which are
controlling, wish to retire from
the service of the state, in accord
ance with a purpose lcaas since
formed, which is unalterabie.
Up to this time there has been
no opportune occasion for me to
make this purpose public, but now
it is due the people Of the state,
and myself as well, that this an
nouncement be made at once.
/ take this step without consul
tation even with those whose de-
votion to my fortunes has entitled
them to my confidence, which
they have had fully and without
reserve. do SO purposelY and
considerably, in order that they
may not incur even the appearance
of any responsibility for my pre-
judged determination.
Having been twice elected by |
the legislature, unanimously the
second time and with but one vote
against me the first, the manner
in which / was chosen has
strengthened me in my endeavors
to represent efficiently the inter-
ests of all classes of our popula-
tion.
By unremitting attention to
these, to the neglect of all private
pursuits, / have striven to show
my appreciation of the obligations
belonging to my high Office and to
illustrate my gratitude for the
faith and trust of those by whom
it was conferred.
The gratifying commendatisns
of my official course which, thro'
the press and otherwise, have come
to me from all quarters of the
state, l value as more than full re-
turn for whatever have done for
the people of Mississippi, whose
interests and honor are az dear as
life to me, and the warm assurances
Of their confidence and support re-
ceived since / became a public SER
want, and especially of late, will
me to renewed exertions
in their behalf, with undated in
terest in all that concerns them,
during the remainder of my term.
Your Obedient servant,
K. C. WALTHALL.

THE Southern Livestock Jour

this bit of advice to farmers:
"Select tho very best seed that
caA be obtained, whether for field
or garden. Plant in land best
adapted. Cultivate intelligently.
Use care in saving the crop. Study
the markets sud govern your crops
accordingly. Keep posted. And
then if you come out behind try
something else. Farming is not
your calling. Possibly you might
make a good agricultural editor or

sEnA1nR WALIHALl.

Today we print Senator y. g
WalthaIl's letter, in which be de-
clines to be a candidate for ro-
election to the U. 8. Senate,
This unexpected action on the part
Of this distinguished gentleman
will be regretted by thousands Of
people in Mississippi, whose admi-
ration aud esteem he holds more
closely than any other man in the
State.
When Gen. Waltball retires from
the Senate on the fourth Of March,
1895, the public services Of an
able, pure, patriotic citizen and
statesman will be lost to the peo-
pie not only Of Mississippi, but Of
the nation. To say that he has
been an honor TO his people and
high position, is known from one
end Of the United States to the
other. Since becoming a mem-
Der Of the U. s. Senate, Gen. Wal
thall has taken position amongst
the ablest Of that body. When he
surrenders back to the people the
charge conferred, it will be un-
spotted, for no man ever wore po-
litical honors and kept them more
uniarnished than has he. His
record is without blemish, his abil-
ity unquestioned, his popularity |
without precedent. This is not
the result Of pandering to whims
and doubtful questions. but be-
cause of his lofty character, his
high integrity, his statesmanship
and purity of all actions.
For reasons Gen. Walthall deems
his announcement is
final. II is now incumbent upon
The people to select his successor.
Mere politicians should be over
ooked. Mississippi has always
been ably represented in the Uni
ed States Senate, when the selec-
ions were left to the intelligence
IF the people. Let the successor
If Senator Walthall be as patriot
c, as peerless, as free from entan-
Cling alliances, and the statesman
hat he has proven TO be.
The HERALD has ever been
warm supporter of Gen. Walthall,
md il is with feelings of sorrow
hat we note his intention to with
lraw from public life. Had he
in the canvass, we firm
y believe that he would have been
reelected without opposition, SO
strong is his hold upon the conf
lencs and affections of the people
whom he has so faithfully repre-
,ented in the Senate.
