The New Capitol.

Opinion relative to Mississippi's
proposed state building is divided.
Hardly two newspapers 10 Mississlp-
pi agree on the subject, and neither can
the press of any two states coincide.
Here are t"o interesting specimens.
The Mobile, Ala, Register says:
The extra session of the MIssis-
sippi legislature is expected TO con-
slider the question Of building new
capitol ct Jackson, but there is no
money, and the people have 10 face
additional even to meet current ex
penses. Under the circumstances, i,
there IL strong objection to ineurring
a debt for a new state house, even
though the present building threat
ems 10 fall down upon and bury the
state archives, and, Incidentally, the
state officers. We are at a consider
able dista nee, and for that reason
may be able to see the view more
perfectly than one nearer at hand. /.
Accordingly, it seems to US that a
state that has no money to build a
magnificent state edifice will do well
10 initiate the citizen who cannot af-
ford to live in palatial mansion,
The citizen cuts his garment to fit
his cloth. So also should the state.
Why not store the archives in safe
ty vault, locate the state officers IN

the supreme court and for the Iegi g.
lature, from time TO time as such ac-
commodation is needed? Then, let
the capitol fall dowE at its leisure,
provided, OF course, the TaIue Of the
old material will not pay for It's re-
moval. When the states finances
recover their normal tone, and there
is prospect of surplus in the treas :
ury, it will be time enough to think
of planting some of the peoples mon :
ey in marble and bronze.

1t appears that there will be very
determined opposition to the propo-
sition which President Mckinley is
expected to submit to congress in q
special message for the formation
OF a currency commission to d :
wise national financial system.
1t has developed that there is quite a
number of members OF the house
who are opposed to deIegating to a
commission the powers and functions
which they claim belong to congress
alone. 1t ls recognized by the house
however, that if Speaker Reed favors
the proposition he can probably se-
cure its passage through the house.
The chances Of the proposition in
the senate are not as good as in the
house. 1t can, therefore, be predic-
ted that the proposition will have q
hard time this session.

A K. of r. Decision.

The Supreme court Of Mississippi
has rendered q decision that will in
terest Pythians and members of be
nevoIent orders generally. Some
years ago one Stein took out policy
in the Knieh hts of Pythias for S5, 900,
which policy did not have an anti
suicide clause. After carrying the
same for number OF years, he had
the policy changed to one for the
same amount which did have the an
ti-suicide clause in 1t, but The adop-
ton Of said clause had only been
made few days prior to this act and
had not been published, and the same
had been made by committee or
board Of control and not by the SUI
preme lodge. Stein died by his own
hand, and his widow applied for the
insurance money, which was refused.
The court holds that under Its charter
the supreme lodge alone was ge
legislative authority for its order and
that the same could not be delegated
to COMMITTEES or board of control.
Therefore the court holds the lodge
liable for the full amount of the poll

To show that Mississippi is not be-
hind her sister states in the work of
educating her youth, it is only neces-
sary to mention that 1t has cost her
TO establish, build, equip and main

cal College, the magnificent sum Of
$63l 400, and the Industrial Insti-
tute and College has cost to date,
$2I6,8l3. AT the same time the AL

and the Oxford University have been
maintained with a liberal hand, and
handsome appropriations made for
the Tougaloo and Holly Springs in

THAT EXTRA SESSION AND
THE CAPITOL.

The all-absorbing question and
burning issue now confronting the
people Of Mississippi, is the coming
extra session of the legislature as
already definitely proposed by the
governor, and what that body should
or will do regarding the building of
capitol and the other important
issues'subjected to compulsory and
immediate action.
The situation is in fact q most try-
ing one. The cost Of an extra session
the state is utterly unable to meet
without encroachment upon the
smoothness Of lis financial affairs,
and the very fact that few months
prior to tho regular session will exist
and. TO cause those institutions and
other bodies exercise on the depen-
dence of the state void of revenue is
phase too serious to be lightly con-
sidered, An extra session must be
held, yet the state cannot afford it :;
new capitol--not through pride, but
necessity-must be built, yet the
state could not consistently meet the
obligations entailed in the event of
such building, and thus is the pitch
of an issue that is being discussed
with favor and disfavor by the pub
lie and press.
The question is fraught with 30
many perplexities that both press and
public opinion are too divided to gain
Inference therefrom. One commu.
nifty, in the face of $4,000 being
the amount of obligations the extra
session is called upon to provide for,
is agitating a million doilar capitol,
while another next door IS emphatic
in extreme opposition, and the same
vice versa with that extra session.
The last legislature did more in
killing time than anything else, and
among its many negligencss one .ylSe- yl;y,s.
eminently was its -fa!!!are to provide
lssalncient I's.eesto bridge over until
the next regular session would con-
vene. The call Of an extra session in
a certain sense is then unwarranted,
and the cause Of so much abuse and
opposition is not dense. As an OK
change well says, sit is the result of
non-action that was not from ignor-
ance Of the consequences" and we
add either gross negligence or wilful
dissipation. However, the governor
as stated above, has decided to call an
extra session and we shall all watch
the outcome With interest.

think no less or more Of him. In
private life as a business man he
was an utter failure, and as the
head business man of nation he
will lack that yigor and firmness
to be expected and exacted from
him in meeting of the so many
questions that will inevitably arise
in the wake of his term. 1t he
