THE .MIIEAGE- STEAL.

. We have heard great deal from
Democrats about retrenchment and
reform in the matter of National ex-
penditures, yet Congressman continue
to draw pay for mileage" at the alb
surd rate of twenty cents mile a
relic of the days long gone by, when
transportation was really expensive,
and when there was not even the sus-
picion that it would ever he reduced
to its present three cents mile rate.
Representatives from the extreme west
and Southwest make from 500 to
S1sOO a year "mileage:" and as it Is gen
orally understood that. through some
fiction or other. they evade the free
ticket prohibition of the interstate
commerce act. it is easy to be seen that
an attack on mileage" would hit them
in very soft spot
Not only do Congressman rob the
taxpayers in this shameless way. but
in addition. the last Congress. with the
House overwhelmingly Democratic,
voted to allow each Representative and
Senator private secretary at sl.2Oo
year. As these positions are generally
filed by some member OF Congress
mems families or other kinsmen, this
act virtually amounted to Congress
men Democrats and Republicans alike,
voting to increase their own salaries
81 200. or to total of 5000 per year.
besides the mileage" steal referred to.
While multipliel thousands of PEG
pie of the Nation are starving sad can
not find employment; while still lar
ger number are having daily life and
death struggle to keep the wolf from
the door. aud while unnumbered thous-
ands are being humoussed by the sham
professions referred to aud feiig,ousty
believed the millennium of reform
would come when the Democrats got
in power. these isGts are worth con-
sidering.

TIEING THE MATRIMONIAL KNOT.
Some Queer Features About Mis.issippis
Marriage Law.

Some Queer Features About Mississippi's
Marriage Law.
By the Code OF 1892. for the first
time in the history of Mississippi, the
common law on the subject of what
constitutes a valid marriage has been
changed. so as to require the issuance
of a marriage license as an essential to
the validity of the marriage.
No marriage, however publicly and
solemdly celebrated in any church by
regular ordained priest or minister
of the Gospel, is valid without the pri-
or issuance of marriage license by
the Circuit Court. Such a marriage is
absolutely null and void, and the chill
dren of such marriage are illegiti,
mats.
No emergency or exigency or urgen-
cy is so great as to excuse the failure
to get license, and no circumstances of
whatever character can render the
marriage legal, or give it the least val
idity or binding force.
On the other hand the very singular
incongruity is presented by the Code
of 1892, in this, that it does not require
any public ceremony or celebration OF
a marriage as condition of it's validi-
ty. And thus common law marriage
entered into by the parties informally
and simply by mutual consent, is val
id marriage, provided only that the
parties first procure license. In 9th
er words, if the two parties first get a
license and then verbally or in writing
agree that they are married, then they
are lawfully married. But if they do
not get license, although they are
married in a church full of people by
an ordained minister of the Gospel, in
the most solemn manner, then the
whole ceremony is worthless and such
marriage is void.
This is remarkable law-Vicksburg

STOP THE WASTE.
Colonel George w. Bain's Plan TO Prevent
Hard Times.

Close every saloon in New York, back
door and front, for one week, and sta
ton policeman at each door, and then
some one to watch the policeman, and
when the sun goes down on the next
Saturday evening there will not be q
beefsteak left in butchers shop. IL Is
a wonder to me that the business men
of q community do not rise and drive
this pirate off the sea of commerce. 1t
is a wonder to me that the politicians
cannot see that this cancer is as surely
eating into the life of our country to de-
stroy it as that cancer which ate into
and destroyed the life of General Grant.
All, they do see it, but they are afraid
of the power of the whisky ring.
When you remind them that some
thing ought to be done, they say, THAT
may be true, but nothing can be done. "
The solution which they propose is idle
ness. Idleness! Look at the whole of
Gods machinery-the earth, never a
second behindhand; the universe, every
cog in condition. Is it not deadly In
suit to our Maker, who fashioned us in
his image, to propose idleness as the So
luton of any problem? But what is the
solution? Why, close the breweries, the
distilleries, the grogshops, every place
that is q temptation to the masses of the
people to spend their money for worse
than useless objects. Do this and you
will as surely open the mills and shops.
If had my way, would write on the

duty of the government to make it easy
for the people to do right, and difficult
for the people to do wrong" and those
words of Burke, What is morally wrong

A Liquor Paper Admits the Power of Rum
sellers In Both PARTIES

There is more truth than poetry in the
constant plant of the Prohibitionists
that both of the old parties are depend
ent on the liquor interests. The substan-
tial truth is that liquor men are adher-
ents Of both parties, and each party left
to itself would equally favor the cause
of personal liberty. This is illustrated
in the result of the landslide that buried
the Democrats last November The leg
islature elected will be strongly Repub-

majority will be found number of liq-
uor sellers who may be depended upon
to see that no legislation injurious to

1t is curious feature of politics in
this State that United States Senators
are elected so long before their ser
vice begins. Senator Walthall has now
been elected for nearly two years and
a half for a term that does not begin
until next year. Senator George S
present term does not expire until
March, 1899, yet the Legislature that is
to be elected next year must choose his
successor at the January term, 1896.
In 1892 both Senators were elected by
the same Legislature. In 1896 and 1900
only one Senator will be elected each
year, but in 1904 both places will again
be filled by the same Legislature.
Some years they will be elected over
three years before their service begins
and at other times only about one year
i'm advance. 1t is an anomalous state
of affairs. star.
