ANENT CITY WARRANTS.

That there is not surplus OF
system in the operations charact-
erizing the deliberations of our
Board of mayor and aldermen is
a deplorable fact too familiar with
the intelligent people to be re-
called here. Very few are the
people who have not heard a
musician" play by ear, and well,
too, but any hearer who can in
telligently interpret the white and
black figures above. below or on
the staff cannot fail to. detect the
impractical proceeding, and so it
is with our local executive body.
These gentleman do not see things
in the true practical light and the
very fact that they work without
system, so necessary for good gov
ernment, conclusively proves the
assertion. Elimination is neces-
sary, and we now appeal to all
fairness and in the name of justice
for at least one change, the sys-
tenn of the city by which it re-
deems its warrants, the present
method being utterly inadequate
to meet popular demand
The city has it now thst if Mr..
A received a warrant feom the
city ten years from date and Mr..
B one to-day, whoever is fortu-
nate betweenthe two to locate the
uncertain time when there's mon
ey in the treasury is first served,
making not one iota of difference
how you have been waiting on the
city. Who would not like to bor-
row money for an indefinite time
and pay no interest, only giving
such attention as would be nee
essary to continue the debt.
The poor laboring man depend
ing entirely on city money is not
to be envied even ny a beggar.
He cannot remain idle or forfeit
his position to apprehend the
means to redeem his warrants, the
merchants NOW demand cash and
even at premium individuals no
longer speculate. The Echo, and
all just and sensible-tbinking peo-
pie will concur with it, wants these
warrants to be redeemed in con-
secutive order as numbered or
dated, provided if same de pre-
sented within 30 or 60 days or any
limited time from date. That
would be systematic, practical and
just.

II The legislature, which assemblies
IN January, undertakes TO pass all
the laws and make all the changes
urged by the papers at the present
time, It will be forced into extra ses-
sion and required to work without
pay. Mississippi is not suffering
from pauciLy Of laws, regulatIn 2
her affairs. There are some needed
revisions along some Fundamental
lines that will engage the attention
of that body, but there Is no demand
that we can see, for any constructive
statesmanship. The member who In
troduces the most bills is not the
greatest benefactor TO his state. True
wisdom more often consists In re-
framing from introducing a bill or in
killing bill already introduced.
Mississippi already has laws enough.
She needs some better laws and Tho
enforcement OF those already enact.

SOUND MONEY AT LOUISVILLE
THAT is THE NATURE OF THE
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
THERE.
CLEVELAND AND CARLISLE ARE
STRONGLY ENDORSED
By the Committee on Resolutions-Two
Minority Reports, One Silver and
One Conseryative-Fight in the
Credentials Committee.

Louisville, June 25.-Promptly at noon
the Democratic State convention was call
ed to order by Chairman Carroll of the
State committee.
Rev. Charles NJ. Hemphill of Louisville
offered prayer, after which the names
of ex-Congressman Stone and Judge w.
n. Beckner were presented for temporary
chairman. The roll call proceeded with
all sorts of points of order and dilatory
confusion for over an hour, when the re-
suit was announced at 2 o'clock as fol-
lows: Beckner, 44S 1-2; Stone, 373 IL.
Necessary to a choice, 440. The election
of Beckner as the temporary presiding
officer was made unanimous. On assum-
ing the chair, Judge Beckner delivered
an eloquent address and assured all that
he represented no faction, and would rule
with impartiality. He pleaded for har-
mony. That part of the address relat-
ing to the financial question was not dis
pleasing to the "sOund money men" and
not altogether satisfactory to the free
coinage men.
Messrs. William Cromwell, ]. q. Stone
and j. D. Schrader were elected secre-
taries, when the congressional districts
were called for members of the committee.
i The resolutions committee was made up
as follows:
First district, August Cotton, silver;

AFTER FILIBUsTERERS.

Washington, June 25.-Secretary Her
bert has issued orders to the Atlanta to
make a southern cruise. She will go to
San Domingo, touching at some point in
Cuba. and finally reaching Key West.
The Atlanta will keep a watch upon
flibustering expeditions while the Ra-
leigh is cruising in the gulf
The secretary of the treasury has de-
cided to materially strengthen the South
Atlantic and Florida coast patrols and
for that purpose will probably send down
the revenue cutters Forward, Morrow
and Winona. These cutters will be as
signed to the double duty of enforcing the
quarantine laws against yellow fever
infected vessels from Southern ports and
preventing the departure of Cuban hli
bustering expeditions. 1t is thought thai
with these additions to the naval force
in these waters, it will be almost i'm
nossible for any armed vessel 20 leave
the port. A sharp lookout will be KEEP
in ali of the rivers and arms of the sec
indenting the southern coast. and an!
expedition found arming against Cubi
will be promptly dealt with.

Ellis of the Second district, offered Sena-
tor Blackburn his proxy.
Objections We're raised in the conyen-
ton on the announcement of Blackburn
name for the committee from the Second
district, and no further efforts in that
direction were made.
Senator Blackburn did not meet with the
committee on resolutions. The use of
his name by proxy for the Second dis
trict was without his knowledge or con-
sent. His friends thought he should be
on the committee, especially after the ap-
pointment of his colleague. Senator Lind
say, and the selection of his opponent,
James b. McCreary, but Blackburn did
not want to serve on the committee after
his defeat in his old district and especial
ly after it was known that he would be in
such small minority.
On reassembling at 8 p. m, Congress
man A. s. Berry was made permanent
chairman. Mr.. Berry made vigorous
speech on taking the chair. Numerous
dilatory motions were INDUCED in, the
Clay men wanting an adjournment until
tomorrow. AS neither the committee on
credentials nor the one on resolutions
were ready to report, this filibustering
was taken up for over two hours with
much disturbance.
The committee on resolutions was ready
to report at 9 p. M, but delayed its report
awaiting that of the committee on Gre
dentials, which was fighting over con-
tests among the delegates from Louis
Vile and Newport.
Senator Lindsay prepared the majority
report on resolutions, which embraced
strong, honest money plank and endorsed

the committee. There were two minority
the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 and
| the other simply reaffirming the plat
form of 1892, signed by Claridy and
Coulter.
| There was an intense feeling because
the fight between the Hardin and the
Clay men on sitting delegates in the COM
mittee on credentials delayed the resolu-
tions and the proceedings of the conven-
ton, but nothing could be done toward
| facilitating business. Several hundred
motions to adjourn were voted down and
| the convention remained waiting al
| though the committee on credentials at
| IL D. m. announced it could not report till
after midnight.
Senator Lindsay and Chairman Berry
refused to report the resolutions or do
anything until the report of the commit
tee on credentials came in.
The committee on credentials closed up
shortly before midnight and reported in
favor of the Hardin delegation in Louis
vile and at Newport, when the scenes of
disorder had a short suspension.
When the Clay men offered a minority
report on credentials another lively scene

CHINESE ABUSE FOREIGNERS.

London, June 25.-A special dispatch
from Shanghai says the details have been
received there of the outrages on foreign
ers at Chang Tu, capital Of the province
of Sezechuen, showing that their suffer
ings must thave been appalling. The
viceroy of the province, it appears, en-
couraged the Chinese mob to destroy the
mission and other property and 1t is re-
ported that Chinese official attempted
to behead Bishop Dunand.
The French minister at Pekin has sent
an ultimatum to the viceroy at Nankin
demanding proper redress of the wrongs
done to foreigners and announcing that
in the event of compliance with the de-
mands of France the commander of the
French squadron will be empowered to act
at his discretion.
