sH-Confedera,e.
WASHINGTON, March 2-Ex-Repre-
sentative Tarsney spent some time Sat-
urday at the white house and the dc.
partment Of justice. He demanded
that United States Marshal Shelby be
removed from office The reason for

inquiry about the Van Horn-Tarsney
contest case. Gen. Shelby, In answer
ing the letter, first gave attention 10
the private business matter and at the
close observed in answer TO the add.
tional inquiry as follows: ivan Horn
was elected by 1900 TO 5000 msjority.
lie was elected beyond any question Of
doubt" This ia the part Of the letter
10 which Mr.. Tarsney made exception,

FALSE ECONOMY.

Al their regular meeting held this
week, the board of supervisors Of
Hancock county, utterly failed on
the question for representation at the
Chicago Southern States Exposition,
and why they did so we cannot even
conceive unless it be they knew no
better. A canvass throughout the
county, 1t Is safe to assert, would
reveal the fact that big majority of
those who support the county and
want TO sec IT it prosper and known
as taxpayers, are unanimous in
wanting it represented. To DIV /!
on the incalculable good to accrue
TO the credit and welfare of this sec
ton by being represented and
advertised TO the world, would be
superfuous, for their is nothing pre-
sumptious in the thought that the or
dinary school boy might grasp the
si.uai at glance.
II is 10 be feared certain board
members take it too much upon their
own minds or hands to run the cour
ty, thinking they are the people own
ing the county, not once realizing
they are selected by the peo-
pie to be their servants in public
matters. The state press willsevere.
ly criticise the action of Hancock
supervisors, and while this will moi
be so well relished, yet 1t Is nothing
but meet. However, we hope the
county,s name will not be rsspon
sible for the shame.

A prominent local official IN this
town said to us the othe,' day:
"Ihe next representative to congress
from tins district should he instruct
ed to secure an appropriation for a
public building for Bay St. Louis,
and II 1t becomes necessary to move
away the Federal court from NIissis-
sippi City, the location to be more
central and more convenient to the
counties of Marion, Pearl, Perry and
others should he located right here
In Bay 81. Louis, then such building
would become an Indispensable nee
essity, The customhouse is located
here and there Is enough business to
Justify the occupancy OF The entire
second floor OF any building of con-
siderable dimensions, while the first
floor could be utilized for the post
oliice building, ma king plenty use of
big two'story building, and il the
Federal court must be removed then
a three story building would not be
too much"

II al the newspapers and public speak,
ers IN Mississippi would devote us much
timo aud space to the earnest discussion
OF industrial subjects as they do 10 poH-
ties, the state would no longer ag behind
other and less favored states In the march
OF progress Try it, Magnolia Gazette.
The above is II very sensible
suggestion, and one which should
be acted upon. Politics is very
fascinating, and people are dis
posed to look to The papers for
the latest political gossip. The
press of South Carolina has set
Mississippi an example inthis res
pect. While the state has been
torn with political discussions
the press of that state has put the
material prospects of tha st.te bo.
fore party politics, and instead of
great columns about the next gov
ernor OF the state, they have talk
ed about when the next cotton
factory will be erected. The wis
dom OF this course has been dem
onstrated by the hundreds of cot
ton mills which have been built
IN all parts of the state. Missis-
slppi Is great in resources and
there IS no reason why cotton fac
tories should not spring up in
every village and hamlet, A half
dozen factories a"e worth more 70
the state than all the free silver
we can get jackson News.

COMPULSORY 3 UFFR1GE,

81
Those who were anxious for the
passage OF the compulsory poll tax
bill in the last legislature, will find
some qualification 10 the following,
taken from the Clarion Ledger, of
Jackson,
A few days since State Auditor
Holder addressed letter to Attor-
ney General Nash, requesting an O.
hcial opinion as TO what property, if
any, was exempt from execution on
account Of default Of payment of the
poll tax by the owner
The Attorney General replies that
nothing is exempt from seizure for
the poll tax except the clothes on a
persons back.
This is one OF the most interesting
and important decisions, rendered In
this state in years, from the fact that
II settles mooted question AID puts
from $500 TO $1,000, 900 more cash
IN the state treasury. 1t has been
held for six years that poll taxes
could not be collected by seizure and
sale OF exempt property, so that this
opinion reverses the old order, and
Attorney General Nash is TO be con-
graduated on having made this tax
collectible.s
The good'y amount Which will be
realized from the enforcement of the
tax will materially aid the state in
the discharge Of its financial obliga-
tions; but does IL not incidentally
demonstrate an alarming disintcrest-
edness as regards the exercising of a
duty every suffragist owes this gov
ernmenta Fifty thousand to $780,
900 means exactly from $4,000 to
$4,000 votes more-almost once
again the number of votes now cast /
! We can almost Imagine with what
degree of longing the enslaved Euro
p an con'emplates free ballot, and
here, where IL is as free as the wind.
strange to say, it is dlsegarded, and
the state has TO interfere and enact
laws 10 enfcrse the exercise Of this
proudest legacy ever bequeathed by
any government.
And of the vast number dlsquai-
fed voters by delinquent poll taxes it
is safe to assume that fully one-half
are of the most intelligent citizens of
the state, and while the compulsory
poll tax will compel this number to
vote it will likewise restore the bal
lot to a large class of ignorant vot-
ers.
And when we consider this indlffer-
ence that exists between man and his
right to vote, is it at all astonishing
to behold the number OF political
crimes committed in broad day light,
the assassination Of right, the annihi-
.lation Of principle, and worse than
all, the undermining of the founda-
tion Of our great government?
The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1896-05-09

The gold men Of Mississippi, so
far as the Clarion-Ledger has been
able TO observe, with very few excep-
tons, announce their purpose to bow
TO the action of the party at Chicago.
This is the right spirit and means q
united democracy in this state. -
Summit Sentinel.
The sound money democrats are
true to their party, and like the prin-
ciples Of their party will bow to the
action of the convention. But
nothing flom our free silver friends
has been heard OF on the subject
and neither is it expected until the
sound Of the bolt. The southern
god of the white metal, THAT blatant
free silver demagogue, Senator Till.
mann, will undoubtedly make the
break, and, like "monkey see, mon.
key do" Mississippians of his kind
will follow.

wmY NorAs INSURANCE COMPANY

The Grenada Sentinel thinks
thore is more money to be made
by the organization of an insur-
ance company or two in Mississip-
Pi than there is in the banking
business. 1t contains the follow
ing editorial which will no doubt
attract wide attention:
When person stops to consid-
er the enormous amount cf money
that annually leaves this state for
fire and life insurance, the won
der is that some of our wealthy
and public spirited citizens don't
organize one or more good COM
panies. The sentinel was discuss.
ing this matter recently with n
prominent insurance man Of this
state, and he was of the opinion
that there was splendid field in
Mississippi for or more well re-
gulated companies. He said it
would keep a vast amount Of in
surance right here at home, the
people would patronize it literally
if it would keep out of associa-
tions or trusts and make liberal
rates, and in his opinion it would
be Of great benefit and advantage
to the state, There is but little
doubt that the investment would
be a profitable one. For evidence
of the latter fact, one has but to
observe the banking institutions
of the state. A new bank start
ing out in some locality is a COM
mon occurrence, and there is APP
parentIy always sufficient busi-
ness fot it to pay a dividend, while
a failure of late years is q rare
thing. There is a great deal more
reason to believe o good insurance
company, especially fire, would
fill long want. We believe the
sentiment of the people is ripe for
it, for continued but vain are the
pr0testations against exhorbitant
rates now charged for fire insur-
ance in every locality in the state.
