Our usually amiable and clever con-
temporary, the tcntcryillc JctIcrsu.
nian says II the The Commonwealth
and Il few other papers had endorsed
Gov, McLaurin'S absurd position on
the capitol bill that the governor
would have resigned. Quite likely.
One Is Just about AS probable as the
other. So far as The Commonwealth
Is concerned Gov. McLaurin is lust ~
liable TO quit as it is TO do ANYTHING
50 ridiculous as to endorse his prc.
postrous message y~ctoing the capitol
bill. However, We desire to state
again that our criticism of the COVER
nor was not inspired by any personal
III will, and no editor has the right to
say II was unless such editor is willing
to have II said Of him that he en-.
dorses the governors course ON the
ground Of friendship, or with the
hope that he would he remembered in

"a SPECIAL from Canton, Miss. to the Memphis Commercial Appeal
IL states that Judge Powell rendered II very important decision at the
recent term of his court here in reference to railroad tickets. which will be
of interest to the travelling public throughout the country. The casew was
that Of a man who had been put off an Illinois Central train because the date
of his ticket had expired. The ticket was stamped 'godfo or this trim and date
only. - The man failed to use the ticket on the date STAMPED, and was mi
of the train when he attempted to use it the next day. Judge Powell holds
that the company has n right to restrict a passenger to particular day
when he has paid full fare for his ticket, and that the ticket should be vh
until used. This is a question that has never been passed upon by any court
before"
We do not remember whether our courts have decided this question te.
fore or not, but there is no question about the justice OF the judges holding.
When IA person pays full fare for "A railroad ticket he or any on else should
be permitted to use it any time. tt is The property OF the person who paid
for 1t and certainly such person should do with 1t as he or she sees III, pro-
yidcd, OF course, the USE ue to which the ticket Is put will not damage INT
railroad beyond the terms of the original contract.

THE constitution OF Mississippi Is receiving very general attention from
L those states that re dissatisfied with their fundamental laws and seek
to make a change Numerous Investigations are being made into our laws
y outsiders, and the state Is receiving some very hathring compliments. 1t
Is daily growing evident that u present constitution Is a model one in most
respects and would serve "A a pattern for any state desiring to keep step
with the dcmandsof new constitutions. In making this reference to The con.
sttuton the Journal desires to add II word OF admiration for the central fig.
ue of the convention which adopted it-Gen. J. T. George. To his clear
head and Keen foresight OF future conditions Is due the features which make
1t the special study of those whose laws are imperfect and fail to furnish the
best local aud state government. The true value OF our constitution will
not be fully appreciated by the present generation, hut on p0~tcrity will
