Well, Jackson, the capital city
of the great state of Mississippi,
is very boastful just now Of the
success it is achieving. Its citi-

year, and now It seems that
their fascinating dreams are going
to become a pleasant reality. The

With all due respect to Judge
Reagan and Col. Watterson, we
fail to see the Importance of their
dispute about whether President
Lincoln ever offered to pay fer

to bring the late war to a close.
II is certain that he did not pay
for them, and equally certain that
they will never be paid for.

The Alcorn Democrat IS crude
but sees plainly and jus. .ly. 1t
says: Tho idea of the governor
going to New York in the inter
est Of u few miles Of levee along
the Mississippi river is the most
outrageous action We ever heard
of. We hope the auditor will
deduct the time lost from the
governors salary. What do we
care about the leyees along the
Mississippi river? Had the good
Lord deemed levees necessary He
would have constructed them
when He made the river. The le-
wees only protect twelve counties,
which pay ha f the entire revenues
received by the state, and are of
no possible benefit to the rest of
Mississippi. We insist that the
governor remain at the capitol
building during the remainder Of
his term, and if he refuses to dc
so he should be discharged and
some one employed who will at
attend strictly to business.

help to applaud those and their
measures who have caused to be
inaugurated this new era of NOR
ality and period of prosperi-
ty, but at present it is as
false as honesty entertaining
inconsistency. From the present
can be traced in detail to the time
of the code, every day polluted
with tinges of concealed crime,
and rot of corruption, shield
over which the state causes to be
webbed. There is little reed of
bringing here into play any par
ticular facts or instances to par
take in the nature of proof to back
the assertion when we state from
what we see, that Mississippi to-
day indirectly encourages corrup-
tion. To evade the statutes, which
now forbids those things that have
always existed, the worst form of
corruption that arises is the blind
tiger evil. Prior to the present
laws the blind tiger was an un-
known enemy, and where We have
no open saloon more blind tiger
resorts flourish now than if the
saloon was in vogue. The open
saloon fills the Golfers of t. state
and swells the pnblic school APP
preparations, and it is no miscon-
ception to assert that more busi-
ness is associated with The saloon
town than the community with
out. So, virtually we have
with the blind tiger the dram
shop all the sane but in illegiti-
mite form, and detrimental to
those financial sources of the
state which now suffer. A sir

bonds and stocks. One of the
most important amendments of
fered and defeated during the
closing hours of the debate was
offered by Senator Stewart au-
thorizing the secretary of the
treasury to use bonds when the
surplus in the treasury is in ex-
cess of $100,OO0,000. to purchase
bonds and thereby reduce the pub
lie debt. Another amendment to
place tax Of Is per cent on the
product of all trusts was defeat
ed. After the passage of the bill
a conference committee was APP
pointed to meet a similar COM
mittee from the house for the
purpose of adjusting the differ
ences between the two houses.
As there were 874 amendments
made to the bill by the senate
these committees have considera-
BILE work before them. The re-
publicans on the two committees
will first get together and adjust
| their differences in order that they
may work tremendously in full
committee. They will then cal
in the democrats and consider the
bill in full committee. When all
differences have been adjusted
thd bill will be reported to the
house. No debate will be per-
mitted oD particular schedules
and amendments will be prompt

receives the bill from the confer

promptly and return it to the sen
ate if it has been amended. I h'

prior to our going to press last
