A MASS nEETlNG.

LII view OF the approaching
time at which our municipal pri
mary will be held, it is not out OF
place to call our readers atten-
tion to the fact that serious think
ing should be resorted to in maxi
ing the selection of board of one
mayor and four councilmen, sec
retary and marshal, in whose
hands for the next two years, will
be entrusted the moulding of the
destinies of Bay st. Louis. Men
should be selected who are known
to possess education and other re-
quisites to fill the positions as sue
cessors of our present administra-
tion and men who under no cir
cumstances and conditions will
sacrifice their honor and manhood
to serve corporations or individu-
ais at the expense of the masses.
Our coming officers must be men
willing to represent the people
and nothing less, regardless of
consequences that might follow
to their commercial interests, if
prosecuted by "the few" for 10y
atty to the masses. Men only who
are capable Of rewarding their
friends and furnishing them equal
ly when they violate the laws,
should be chosen and not those
who will ignore the promptings
of honesty in dealing justice to
those who come under their adj
ministration. and the best way to
reach that result, the object of
this editorial, or one of the good
ways at least, would be to appoint
a day for grand mass meeting
at which all candidates will be
present to answer the questions
of the voters and Taxpayers upon
the many points which vitaly in
terest a community desiring to be
progressive, by abandoning old
and exploded ideas and adopting
the most modern and successful
ones of the present day.
1t is often heard about the
streets, that a half dozen men in
Bay st. Louis control the political
movements to the extent of elect
ing any individual fancied by them
Let us hope that such is not the
case; such thing would jeopar-
die good government and bree,l
corrupted officers; destroy morals
and retard progress. Men who
could be controlled by the infu-
ence of few, be they sectarian
or non-sectarian, should be ig-
nored, and only those who have a
Creditable record should be sup
ported.
We repeat again, that, in view
of the many public questions now
agitating the people, and the COM
parative nearness to the primary,
it would be well to hold mass
meeting at the earliest day pos
sible, in order to ascertain, COM
prehensively, the positions the
different contestants will assume
if elected.

GEORGE NiCHOI SON

Mr.. George Nicholson, one Of the
proprietors of the Picayune, died
Tuesday, at his home in New Or
leans, after very brief illness; al
though he was 76 years old he re-
tanned perfect health and youthful
energy.
Mr.. Nicholson embarked in the
newspaper business 43 years ago and
with the growth. of journalism in New
Orleans he kept pace and succeeded
In reaching the heights. Few men
were better acquainted with the great
questions that necessarily came un-
der his observation and to which he
gave his deepest thoughts and closest
attention.
Personally, Mr.. Nicholson poss-
essed tnat magnetism which endeared
him to all with whom he came in
contact. He was true friend, a
faithful public servant and his loss
will not only be felt in New Orleans.
but all over the Southern country
where he was known and admired

Politics in Alabama are waxing
hot. The silver democrats are
resorting to all kinds of scheme
to carry the election. Indeed
they are so bent in accomplish
ing this end that they have invited
republicans and democrats to join
them in their work of destruction.

Boston, the city that was always
shouting social equality in the
ears of the south, should prac-
tice what she assumes to teach.
Bostonians have lately proved
that they are as averse to the re-
cognition of social equality as we
of the south. There is something
in nature that shall have to be
changed before that antipathy to
the colored race will be wiped
away.

A few mere speeches from men
who claim to be Democrats, like
the one made by Senator Tillmap,
South Carolina, and Grover
Cleveland will sgain be made the
Democratic candidate whether he
consents or not. Nothing makes
more friends for a man than to
senselessly abuse him.

TAXATION.

The recent attempt by the pre-
sent legislature to put tariff on
dogs illustrates the evil of indis-
Fcriminate taxation.
The Echo believes that taxa
ton ought to be conducted on
other principles than those which
guide it now. AS it is, it is void
dfdignitg szses syss'ss-yys1s. o...lsslss
one of the old time tithes.
1t seems the state is always GO
ing about with the stealth of a
detective to discover something
new upon which to levy a tax.
The laws regarding taxation
ought to be changed so that
nothing except what tax paper
derives benefit from should be
taxed. All personal property of
a purely ornamental character
should be made exempt.
Of course, The Echo is aware
that large amount of money is
required to run the state, and be-
lieving that such money is spent
for the good of the state,<s.pe,
would not recommend system
which would lessen it's revenue,
only that those things from which
no material benefit is derived be
exempt.
IL is patent to any reasonable
being that taxation as it is is a
palpable abuse of individual
rights.

Lord Salisbury's assertion that
