The lesson to be drawn from the
result of the recent elections is the
laxity of party allegiance. The ease
and intrepidity with which the
sovereign people transfer power from
one party to the oUher argues well for
Republican institutions and shows the
people are not going to be dominated
by any party or leaders not in bold,
unequivocal accord with the best in
terest of the public welfare, men who
are Democrats from principles and
patriotism must direct the councils of
the party in future if it is to retrieve
its losses, and again obtain power.
There must be no stradling, nor
eqnivocal Interpretation of platforms.
Honesty is as essential to enduring
success in politics, as in private alIiiairs.
such a policy alone can command re-
spect and confidence. Tammaoy, Hill,

treacherously corrupt factors, must no

TO THE BENEVOLENT AND CHARITABLE
PEOPLE OF MISSISSIPPI:
For many years, it has been my duty
and privilege 10 call public attention
to the needs and usefulness of this
noble charity. 1t is duty, because of
my relation to the several Benevolent
Orders who are now SO generously aid
ing it, and it is privilege becauee of
the good that know the Asylum is do
ing, in receiving and caring for orphan
children, and preparing them for use
fitness and respectability in the world.
Tim asylum has been in operation
seventy-six years, and although it's
treasury has often been without dol
lar, and its larder often empty, it's
doors have never been closed to til !,
unfortunates who have sought it's
shelter and protection.
The Asylum is absolutely dependent
on the benevolence and charity of the
public. 1t has no other resource.
The Thanksgiving contributions by
Churches, Fraternal Orders and in,i-
viduals last fall, with occasional helm
from other directions since, have main
tanned it to the present time; and now
that its treasury is again nearly empty.
the Lady Managers are anxious abont
its support for the winter now upon
them. But while they are deeply con-
cerned, they have an abiding faith in
the charitable and generous people Of
Mississippi, that their remembrance
will be as prompt and liberal as their
circumstances and these stringent |
times will allow.

The Anticipation Convention.

burg, was well attended from this and
adjoining states, and resolutions adopt
ed, memorializing our representatives
in Washington, to have law in some
form, enacted to prevent the specula-
ton in futures on agricultural prod
ucts. Such bill, known as the Hatch
bill, is pending IN the Senate. having
passed Congress, in which is some of
the best legal talent ia the country.
This fact, it is claimed, settles it's con-
stitutionality.
There are many intricate features
however,upon which lawyers differ. A
letter was read from Gen. George, elab-
Grating the subject in It's legal aspects
and difficulties, which will make IL no
easy matter To reach the evil, under
the present power of our Federal Gov

is, that such a law is necessary, and
our representatives, CatchiDgs, Nc
Laurin, and Spencer. who were pres.
ent and addressed the meeting, pledge
their best efforts to have a law framed
and passed, which will reach the evil.
Aside from the general, deleterious eff
fects of future dealings. there is an
immediate and local effect in every

! The average citizen thinks i is mon
strous for the government to give to a
Louisiana sugar planter two cents per
pound bounty on his sugar, but for it
to give silver miner dollar worth
hundred cents for fifty cents worth
of silver bullion is all right. We do
not want to be understood as opposing
sufficient amount of money to trans
act the volume of business of the conn
try nor to antagonize silver money as
long as the government can maintain
it without los3. The silver miner, like
the pensioner, spend their money in
the north and is of little benefit to the
south. The government can only put
money in circulation by paying it out
for it's obligation land it has always
done this,and will continue to do so, in

banking system. 1t is cheaper to bor-

plenty, at low rates of interest. than

An anarchist ie fellow who wants

An anarchist ic fellow who wants
to pull down, destroy everything be-
cause he has not got anything and is
too lazy To work for it. The comma o.
ist is a FELLOW as lazy as the anarchist,
but wants things to be nice, smooth
and elegant, but wants the fellow vino
worked and accumu ,ated, whilst he
gathered poverty and big gas bag, to
divide up with him and hold all 10
common, and when his share gives out
give him some more. Now little
two-byfOur politician or newspaper
or, ''mores the pity, macy would be
larger ones-who panders to the poo,
shiftless, lazy fellows and broken down
aristocricy, who, sad 10 relate, form
considerable portion of our people, in
their desperate efforts to live and
maintain style without la Dor, and who
curse the government and all mopied
men because they do not drop money
in their poclleUs, are as great enemies
to good society and free honest govern
ment, as the anarchist or communis,
whether they intend to be or not.
Doubtful expedients retro-act upon the
perpetrators, and people who wait
