A MODEST HINT.

Charley Wright, of the the Vicksburg
Commercial Herald, has long been
noted for his shrinking, retiring nature
and innate modesty. This has become
such a marked characteristic of the
man that his paper has been not inapt-
ly styled "the Great Consequentious"
The latest exhibition of his maiden
like diffidence is the following, which
appeared in a recent issue of the CHI:
The editor of the Commercial Herald
would esteem it a compliment, if this
District would select him as one of the
delegates to the National Democratic
Convention. Our services for twenty
years to the party, and to the District,
are too well known for us to refer to
them at length, and besides if the
empty honor is not freely accorded, it
certainly will not be sought. We wish
to go to guard to the best our ability
the interests of the Valley. We think
the delegation from this State should
go uninstructed, for no one can tell yet
whom it is best to support.
1t is not known what view Charley's
fellow Democrats will take of this
modest hint. A few years ago he as
pired in the same modest way to be a
delegate from the State at large, and
was beaten by the action of his own
county men.

The Alliance Manufacturing Coz

AhS hiiiahCC
1t is to be greatly regretted that the
prospects are that the property of the
Alliance Manufacturing Co. may be
sold on March II under deed of trust
to satisfy debt of S3,140 contracted
by the fomer Board of Directors.
The stockholders at their meeting
in October last made a levy of 20 per
cent. on the stock of the company,
which, if it had been fully paid in,
would have been ample to have paid
off the present indebtness and to have
paid the incidental expenses for a term
which might have given opportunity,
even if it were desirable to sell the
property, in which it might have been
sold for price something nearer the
value of the property. There is no
doubt but that the property being
mortgaged depreciates the estimated
value and it is to be greatly feared
that if the property is sold under the
"hammer" that the property which is
worth many thousands and cost the
stockholders some $4,000 may not
bring more than one-fourth of it's
value.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1892-03-10

The LEADER congratulates the Legis-
lature that the printing of the new
code and reports of the Supreme Court
is to be open to the competition of the
world. The LEADER wants to see all
the work possible to be done we'll in
the State given to the State publishers;
but it does not want to see any more
poorly printed and badly bound vol
umes like the Code of 1880. 1t is not
only a matter of economy, concerning
dollars and cents, but matter of
necessity also, if looks and durability
are to be taken into account, that the
contract for such work go to some
great publishing house which makes
the printing of law books a speciality.

THE MEN FOR LEGISLATORS.

In selecting men to make laws either
in Congress or the Legislature, care
should be taken not only in selecting
good men and wise men, but also men
who have the moral courage to stand
up for the right. Many a man with
both good sense and morals has come
to the Legislature and become simply
a figure head because he did not have
the courage and boldness to attack the
wrong and defend the right. Others
come who have an ambitious 'bee in
their bonnets" and go to playing the
demagogue and dickering with wrong
in the hope that it will insure to their
future political promotion. Said one
of the ablest and most influential
members of the House to the editor of
this paper a few days ago-a man who
did not seek the position he holds, but
is in every respect an honor to it
1.-THE people ought to quit sending men
here to make laws for them who are
| oftice-seekers and looking out for the
future. Such men never cast vote
on an important measure, that they
are not influenced more by its proba-
BILE effect on their future aspirations
than whether it is good or bad meas
ure for the State. Their chief concern
seems to be to lay pipe to insure their
own reelection to the Legislature or to
some other official position on which
their selfish aspirations are SET,
The people ought to understand this.
1t requires moral courage and patriot
ism to make a legislative reformer.
The fellow who is only after the loaves
and fishes of office ought to be discov-
cred in time and elected to stay at
home. jackson is not the place for
him.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1892-03-10

The LEADER suggests that special
Legislative committee to set in vacation
and report to the Governor and to the
next session of the Legislature, be
created to investigate the State offices.
1t is nothing but business and the peo-
pie have a right to know hoy their
business is being conducted by their
agents. The death of the lamented
Patty closed the investigation of State
offices, no other offices than the
Treasurer's we believe having been in
vestigated. Open the books, gentle
men of the Legislature, they belong to
the people, whose servants you are and
whose immediate jewels you should
prove yourselves to be.

The Associated Press, third cous in
to Wall street, makes great to do over
the fact that Candidate Hill refused to
draw some 5000 to his credit as Sena-
tor, but took only some $500 and mile
age, computed amount due not from
the date of his election, but since the
date of his swearing in as Senator
But the A. P. does not tell that he held
on as Governor of New York for about
a year after he was elected Senator and
drew salary as Governor for the time
he declined with so much gusto as
Senator, and that the salary he drew
as Governor was $4,000 a year with a
luxuriantly furnished mansion" to live
in as side dish; more than twice the
amount paid Senator. OF course
Candidate Hill is too oleaginous to be
caught drawing two salaries at once.
But when it comes to the "draw" he
takes the biggest one.

Jefferson Davis Brown.

GREENvILLE, Texas, March 3, 1892
Editor Mississippi Leader:
Having just learned of the tragic
death of j. d. Brown. a classmata of
mine at the University, | wish to writo
you something in regard to his Career
at College. / first met him at the ITni
versity in the session of 1886. Ha
lived harder and suffered more priva.
tions than any student | ever saw at
Oxford. He was trying to educate
himself for the Presbyterian ministry
and seemed willing to endure any
hardship to gain his object. He was
singularly inoffensive and gentle, re.
ceiving with meekness the Sights and
slurs cast by the thOughtless upon the
unfortunate and the odd, for even then
he had the name of being a crank: but
L knew from intimate association, that
these things cut his sensitive spirit to
the quick. He had the courage of his
convictions to a remarkable extent for
one so young. remember on one oc
caSion, though | was almost his only
CollliuellI anu lTleIlu, ana ne younger
and seemingly weaker in every respect
than myself, that he gave most
severe rebuke for some boyish folly of
mine. This was the main cause of his
unpopularity, his intolerance of frivol-
ity and college pranks. He seemed to
me to be mentally and morally starved
and stunted, and warped. His isola-
ton and hardships evidently preyed
upon his mind until it became unba!-
anced. He was good friend of mine
and had many noble and sturdy quail
ties. Your friend,
EARLE BROUGHER.

The leaders of the anti-Hill move
ment in New York have addressed a
letter to each member of the National
Democratic Committee protesting
vigorously against Candidate Hill.
They asseverate that the movement
Is not necessarily PROF. Cleveland.
They are for any good man inside OF
outside of New York. They assert that
Hill will, If nominated, lose the State
to the Democracy by from $1,000 to
100000 votes, that Cleveland, Russell
Of Massachusetts,, or Western mar
can carry the st ate.

There is a pretty kettle of fish stew
ing in the Republican camp in this
State. Bruce and Lynch have had
Wimberly removed as Collector of In
ternal Revenue for Mississippi and
Louisiana, and supplanted him with
Homer G.. Powers, of Starkville, Miss,
brother of Ex-Governor Ridgely c.
Powers, whom, it is stated in press
dispatch from Washington, will fire all
of Wimberly's appointees. And
James Hill, postmaster of Vicksburg
whose confirmation has not yet been
made by the Senate, it is stated, is be-
ing pursued by his dusky- hued rivals,
the aforesaid Lynch and Bruce with
drawn tomahawks. 1t is sad com
mentary when two negroes are the
masters of the Federal patronage of a
great State like Mississippi.
