The st. Louis Republic, in referring
to the officers Of the Mississippi Press
Association, has the following to say
of the editor Of the DEMOCRAT.STAR:
p. X. Mayors, treasurer OF the Assoc
citation. is editor Of the PascagOula
DEMOCRAT-STAK, the most successful
paper on the Gulf Coast. He, too, is a
veteran and Il charter member Of the
organization. In j. years he has only
missed n Of its conventions and ac-
%companied By his charming spouse he
expects to attend at least 81 more.
Capt. Mayors is famous for his relent-
less antag0nism to ''patent inSidcs
and Outsides" and for his strict insist
cnce on a compliance at all times with
the constitution Of the Association.
Any enterprising young journalist
who wants to start a new organ has
a lively time II he selects the Gulf
Coast. Colonel Mayors has bought out
and set up nor beginners than he
can count. Whenever Il newonc comes
he invariably helps him to select his
outfit, as IL generally saves the trouble
OF sorting up a few months later in his
own office. lie has been spoken Of for
high political honOrs, but seems con-
tented with his unique niche in Mis-.
slssippi journalism.

Apropos Of Mr.. Grinith's nomination
for Governor Of Indiana, and the issue
OF some 0thrr State conventions
wherein free silver sentiment was
rampant, it may not be out of order
to congratulate our friends who follow
the oriiammco Of gold, on the courage
Gus but amiable pcrsistenCy with
which they are ever repeating, with
what Shakespeare calls '~'damnable
iteration'-that the silver craze is
dead. That the wish bcgcts the
thought is only too apparent, for why
chant uncnding reQuiems over a cause
that has sc many times been laid to
rest? What an obnoxious but lively
corpse that must be which is cver dy-
ing, but never dead.

NOT IN THE PARDONING BUSINESS.

IL is not to be presumed that the
reading public has 50 soon forgotten
the COld-bloodcd murder Of Dink-

Marshall, Fox and Coleman. Ever
since the conviction aud incarceration
Of the bloody trio IN the penitentiary
periodical efforts arc made by their
friends to have them plrdoned. They
first applied 10 Gov. Stone without
success, GOV. McLaurin waS out Of
the question, as Ire vas counsel for
the young men, aud previous to his
election declared that he would not
pardon them. 50 last july Gov. Me.
Laurin left the state TO attend the
Democratic National Convention, and
Lieut.-Goy. Jones became the acting
governor, and it has been reported
that as sOon as Gov. McLaurIn was
beyond the bounds IF the State mia
entail friends in NlcksUurg wrote to
Mr.. Jones asking him to pardon the
murdcrers, bat that fanctionary re-
fused to entertain the proposition
This refusal, as the sequel shows, did
not throw a dampcr on their efforts
to get a pardon through the same
channel. Gov. McLaurin is out Of
the State again, and Mr.. Jones is
acting Governor, and he was again
besieged by the friends Of Marshall,
Fox and Coleman for their pardon, to
which appeal the Lieutcnant-Goycr-
o is reported to have said, IN Ian.

The goldbug editors who deserted
the Democratic party in order to place
the Republican party in control of the
government, don't have much to say
in regard to the promised prosperity
should the silver cause be defeated,
but when Mr.. Bryan talks they pro-
coed with great unanimity to jump
On him, as though he were some hydra.
headed monster. Such a course, how
ever, toward a brave but defeated foe,
shows their lack Of manhood.
