HON JOHN NJ. ALLEN BLISTERED
BY His Home Paper, The Tupelo
journal.
In Which the Funny Man" Is Presented in
all Of His Weaknesses.
The Article, i" 3aeSti"n, Creating Some
what Of il Sensation.

The Tupelo Journal, the home paper
OF Congressman John NJ. Allen. and the
only one published in the county. it
seems has fallen OUT with ''priyate
john" and deals his political corpus
some heavy licls, as will be seen from
the article below. While many Of the
charges of the Journal are doubtless
true, we think on the whole, it is too
severe on him. While we too think
the country is paying very high for
jokes and other things OF but very lit
tie benefit, yet we suppose ''Private
John" had as we'll draw his pay as
many others in both branches of Con-
gress have and are doing, who have
never done but little, if anything, for
their constituents and country. The
jackson, Miss. correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune, in speaking of
this article, says it ''has created pro-
found political sensation from one end
of the State to the other: Here is the
article referred to:
"1tis Il good thing for the people, as
we'll as an individual, to call !. halt at
intervals and have summing up of re-
ceipts and disbursements, and thereby
ascertain the linancial pace at which
they have been going and whether or
not they have been receiving benefits
in proportion to the amount of money
paid out. Let us see. for instance.
what the funny man in congress has
cost the people in the past fifteen years.
and see if we have not been paying
pretty dear for few stale jokes. In
the first place, he served as district at
torney in the flush times and deve!opcd
IL fine eye for the perqusltes, and it is
estimated that he pochetcd at least
$25 900 during the term. At the close
OF his present term he will have been
in congress ten years, at a salary of
| $5,oOO Il year, amounting in the aggrc-
gate to $50 600: in addition, he has re-
ceived S425 year mileage, amounting
for ten years to $3.50. Besides he has
received u stationery fund of 1925 a
year, amounting to 81 $50. Then there
was a back mileage and incidental fund
grab last wiuter. We won't charge
that the private got any of that Doodle,
but if he did it amounted to about $3.50.
Now, let us gather up these various
amounts and do little sum in addi-
tion and see how much of the people 5
hard earned money has gone into the
pockets of this man of mirth, who
cracks his little jokclet while his con-
stituents are in the throes Of financial
distress and many of them without the
bare necessities of life. Here is the

GRENADA, MISS, SATURDAY, APRIL 2s 1884,

The Jackson (Miss.) correspondent
Of the New Orleans Picayu,e, Of April
%, says:
1.-THE Democratic press Of Mis-
sissippi, always unfettered, is dis
playing in the congressional canvass
absolute independence. It is discussing
men and measure respectfully, but all
subjects are handled without gloves.
Some politicians are disposed to resent
this candid criticism by the press, but
they should remember that tho press
has ever stood for the success of the
Democratic party, the elevation Of its
purest patriots to office, and for the re-
nown and glory Of the state. AS
once before remarked in these columns,
one single able, fearless, conscientious
newspaper is bigger than all the rest of
the politicians In the state. Yes, politi-
clans are the creatures, not the masters
of such newspapers"

Sugar Bects in Iowa

Profs. G. l.. Patrick and o. ii. Pagel-
son, OF Il g Iowa Agricultural College
Exl eriment Station OF Ames, have been
making a stuGysof sugar beeis in WA
during 1898, the results OF which have
recently been published in the Station
Bulleton, No. 20. The additional data
secured indicates the unquestioned
possibility Of successful beet culture and
beet sugar production in Iowa, as well
as most OF the other States in the Union.
There was an unexpected delay Of n
month in planting, the beet seed not
hasingarriyed from Germany, and these
gentlemen believe that the result would
have been better had the seed been on
hand ready for the plantingat an earlier
date. The average OF nfly-fve samples
