PUBLIU SCHOOLS.

When we speak of Il public
school we speak of that place in
which many q leading man of our
country laid the educational foun-
dation which has brought him
success or honor in his more ma
ture years. We speak of that
place in which four-fifths of the
youths of our beloved state are
drawing whatever mental nourish-
ment they get. We speak of that
place in which the lives and char
acter of a great majority of our
children are being moulded for
usefulness to their fellow-men for
time and eternity. In view of all
these facts do our public schools
receive that attention, endorse
|ment and corporation by the pa
irons and the general public
which such an important factor
in our material and social deyel-
opment would warrant? We an
swer no. Each and every citizen,
whether a patron Of the public
schools or not, should feel pride
in them and do allin his power to
strengthen them and to augment
their efficiency. But in place of
this wo find many communities
that they receive only stinted
support, and serve as target for
many of the petty jealousies and
whims of the neighborhood. Be-
fore we can interest Others we
must first be interested ourselves,
and if parents do not manifest a
deep concern about the mainten-
ence and support of the schools
and leave their success to the en-
ergies of the teacher or teachers
alone, how can they expect their
children to become interested. 1t
is the duty of every citizen in the
community when q teacher is cho-
sen, whether the said teacher
meets everybody's bill of require
lnents or not, to strive to make
that session excel the work of the
previous one. The citizens owe
it to themselves, they owe it to
their children, they owe 1t to the
community and to the great state
and nation whose life blood, in
part, circulates in their moral and
mental superstructure. We are
much inclined to the belief that
our people do not realize what q
great boon the public schools are.
They have done a great work, but
by proper care on the part of those
entrusted with their supervision
and management, a greater sue
cess lies before them. .-Grenada

OUR PUBLIC HEN

The following from the Friar's $
Point Coahomian suggests a line
of thought in regard to our pub
lie men. The Coahomian SAYS:
Congressman John G. Kyle
writes the Sardis Reporter letter
of marked ability, defining his
views on the money question. We
Shah look with interest for efforts
on the part Of his rivals for nomi-
nation to answerShis masterful ar
gument. Mr.. Kyle may be defeat
ed for nomination, but he ought
not to be, even if in error on that
vexed and complex question. No
man who exhibits the ability, hon
esty, courage and manliness dis
played by Mr.. Kyle in that letter
should be retired from public life.
He may be in error in his fnan-
cial views, but it would mighty
near strain mans eyeballs out
to answer his reasoning. That he
is honest, brave and manly no.
body will dispute. If Mr.. KYLE
is wrong in his reasoning he has
wonderful ability to make the
wrong seem right. Whether right
or wrong OH that abstruse ques-
ton, which has enlisted on each
side the ablest men, he gives as
surarce beyond a preadyenture
that he'll do to trust. A man
who had rather be right than CON
gresham can't be retired to pri-
vate life without detriment to
public service"
The above from the Coahomian
is well put. 1t seems to be the
idea of latter-day politicians that
unless a man drifts With the tide
he Is unfit to represent the people
His ability and intellect cuts no
figure if he does not agree polly
parrot like with the people on
one given proposition which per-
chance is fraught with great doubt
and which is by no means settled.
The time was in Mississippi when
public men were supposed to be
leaders, but they must now be
meek and servile followers and
croak "me too" When the beat
and ward politian announces a
proposition, the office-seekers are
supposed to chime in with three
loud shouts Of acclamation and
turn somersaults over one anoth.
er in their eagerness to heartily
indorse the proposition. 1t is re.

a NEW CAPITOL PROBdBLE

A NEW CAPITOL PROB1BLE.
We understand the capitol commits
sioners are sending out circulars to
the various members OF the Legisla-
ture, to ascertain the opinion of the
people Of the state in regard to a
new capitol, anticipating o special
session Of the Legislature will be cali
ed il the people are desirous of a
new building.
The necessity Of new state capi-
tol has been so discussed by the
press OF the state that 1t admits OF
nothing new. The condition of the
capitol is known by everybody, and
everybody wants new capitol ex-
cept these who were elected by the
people TO furnish it. But The Echo
hopes that by this time they have
learned their error, and anxious to
redeem themselves, will hastily com
ply with the wishes of the peo o,Ie.
As for the site, no other could be
as fitting or better than the present
one. Il is surrounded by memories
that will inspire an intelligent Legis-
latur', when the people elect one.

HANCOCK COUNTY.

The Echo desires TO call tho at ten.
ton OF the board of supervisors of
this county TO the necessity of having
1t represented at the Chicago South
ern States Exposition. An appro-
priatIon Of, say Three hundred dol
lars, will give tia fair representation
aud strangers will then have an op-
.portunity Of judging Hancock county
and its resources for themselves.
1t might be wise to accept the pro-
position CT Jackson county, which
perhaps, Harrison will do, and let
the three counties make Joint ex-
hibit. But whatever way our board
Will see fit to represent the county
will, we are sure, meet with public
approval. We only suggest the
adoption OF Jackson county as it may
make the exhibit more attractive
and, at the same time, a better re-
presentation may be had for less
money than II each went singly.
Placing Hancock county and its
advantages before the world at the
coming exposition is serious thing
Tor US, and we hope the board will
not overlook that fact.

ELECTION IN IOUTsTANA


Democracy and good government
have won the day in Louisiana. ! IT
was desperate struggle, but right
and truth have again demonstrated
that they will not be crushed. The
press of the state is to be congratu. :.
lated on the robust fight 1t made to
uphold the principles OF democracy
in state that is today indebted to
the democratic party for its liberty.
The election has established another
fact: The gratitude OF fsoathern peo-
pie.
While electionwas tue topic ia the
state two months previous to the
election, especially was it so in New
Orleans, where there was formida-
BILE fight on hand to crush the vilIainy
OF an infamous band Of corruption
lists.
The people OF the southern metro
polls do not stand humbuggery for
any great length Of time. They
know purity from corruption, they
know the shackles from freedom, and
when these Objectionable features are
forced on them, they rise and with
Almighty blow, fell them to the earth.
In view Of this fact, demonstrated
again Tuesday, The Echo extend its
hand to the noble people or Louisi-
ana.

90.
1T Is TIME TO THINK.
Silver is not dead, nor Is il apt to
die untilthe people get taste of it,
feel its evils and witness its dire con-
sequences. Silver Is the i,sue of tho
day, as is evidenced by every elec-
tion held in the different states, and,
strange TO say, 1t sweeps up every
thing before it. 1t has so saturated
the people, that even in state cleo
tions, every issue Is forgotten, and
everything, from constable up is vot-
ed for according to his views on that
one issue. But this popularity is as
far removed from testifying to its
merits as is January from January.
There has never been in the his
tory Of any country on the uprisal Of
a public question, where the masses
thought they saw some chance for
bettertug their conditions, though
the chances were as uncertain as the
sun shining at night, that they did
not extend it all aid possible in their
means, and yet as has almost invari-
ably developed the masses were
wrong. Gather tomorrow the entire
product Of silver heresy, show and
prove to them that under free coin
age system the silver dollar, while
not as safe asit is today, would be as
hard to get and after gotten, its pur-
chasing power had become impaired,
and you will see them drop the free
coinage idea at the ratio they specu-
late on as though it were hot iron.
Silver is not dead for willy politi-
clans have succeeded in deluding the
people, and they will continue
their practice of quackery until
something serious happens.
IT seems to us, and we may men,
tion II here, though ii is not teach
ing Of our form OF government. but
1t would be a safe plan, however,
that the Federal government regulate
the method Of placing public ques-
tions before the epeople, and that only
qualified men take the nations af-
fairs in charge. We make this sug-
gestion on the same principle that
all great institutions are in some way
protected, and there is no reason
why this great government should
not have protection Ut some descrip-
ton. 1t is true that this is a govern
ment OF the people by the people,
but the liberty 1t insures ought not
to justify the abuse of great polite al
truths. The success Of the govern
ment like that of any corporation,
depends on the way its business is
conducted, and nothing else than
strict preservation Of every paiticu-
lar item that makes the whole, can
meet with the desired end.
1t is dangerous for the people Of
republic to be humbugged into every
kind Of belief by unscrupulous men,
tor it may be as easy to blind them
to the advantages Of our form, of gov
ernment, as to the best system for
that government, and have an up.
heaval, such as would convert the
United States into the United King
dom.
The money system of this country
should be held as sacred as life IT.
self, for on that system depends
much the manner Of life we shall live.
Therefore, The Echo calls on the
people to think and study for them
selves, to cast aside the sugar coat
ing Of the silver orators argument,
and by SO doing they will gave the
country from chaos and revolution.
