Spare the State,

In spite of all our meritorious
and called for opposition as a pub
lie journalist, we can not bring
ourself to the point of advocating
impeachment against the Governor.
While doubtless it is true, the gen
tleman has been guilty of many
things during his term of Office
that is not in accord with the rules
laid down governing the actions
and duties of an executive, and not
harmonizing with the eternal fit
ness of things that becomes man,
even in the private walks of life;
still, taking into consideration the
welfare of the people, state pride
.and the promise of the First Gen
tIeman of the State TO sin no more
we really think the charges of inn
parchment should be stayed, Let
the legislature, the peoples repre-
sentative, look at the arbitrary
acts and the gay and festive frolics
and antics of the man in question,
with the eye of tolerance, leniency
and mercy, and we feel sure it will
be best in the long run. At least,
the political life of A. J. McLaur-
in, governor of the free and un-
bought people of Mississippi, is
hut of short duration. The flick
ering lamps of the footlights are
burning low-the odor of escap-
ing oil fills the Air-let the cur
tains be drawn but not in indecent
haste Oxford Globe.

Gov. McLauriu'- answer TO the
Washington County Democratic
Executive Committee is unhappy
In the extreme. 1t manifests Il
spirit Of partisanship which the
incumbent of Il great office should
never entertain. While we do not
recognize thcaction of the citizens
meeting held in ~ as absolutely
binding upon the governor, indeed
there could arise many contingen-
cies when the observance Of it
would be unfortunate and not re-
sponsive of the public's interest;
yet this, we think, is not one,
GOV McLaurin, it occurs to us,
was unfortunate in intimating
that he believed that this would
fail of endorsement at the hands
of tax payers-we mean the white
people-the owners of the county.
Mr.. Jayne's eminent qualifca-
tions" and usefulness to the coun-
tY" would no doubt impress the
average Democratic suffragist who
is just as capable Of Judging in
,suph matters as Gov. MeLaurin.
The governors reply places Mr..
JAYNE in IN menyiable attitude,
What right, pray, had Gov. Nc
Laurin to conclude that Mr.. .Jayne's
record on the leYee hoard would
not be endorsed by the people Z

ANsE AND TIE IN IANEs.


The Governor and the Liza
Jane Leyee Board seem to under
stand and suit each other to dot.
He ticllles them and they tickle
him. When Anse wants to mule
the Delta people to the tune OF
50, 600, his henehmen on the board
smilingly obey. When they want
to be reappointed to office he is
ready with the new commissions
What does he care for the wishes
of the people! What do they care
True, it was in response to IA sug
gestion of one of their most ardent
friends that the Delta people, in
convention assembled, agreed in
future to select the members of
the Levee Board by party action in
the several counties, feeling sure
at the time that recommendation
so made would be respected by the
appointing power, in whomsoever
lodged. Since then the political
complexion of the State has chang
ed, and the very men who urged
the adoption of tins resolution are
now chiefly instrumental in having
it ignored,
The action of the Washington
County Democracy in denouncing
the Governor for his refusal to re-
spect the wishes of the people is
timely, and the resolutions on the
subject will be read with interest
and general approval. In this
matter the Governor simply stands
by his record. Two years ago he
turned down the commissioner
elected and recommended by a
Democratic primary in Bolivar
county for one of his especial pets.
This was about the first move that
was made in his well defined plan
to build up McLaurin party in
The State regardless Of decency or
Democratic welfare. Since then
every step has been in that direc
ion, save alone in the appointment

BY Ordnance Inspector Owen, Before
Apprentice Association.

George Owen, Jr., inspector Of ord
nance, United States army, made an
address yesterday afternoon before the
Brown & Sharpe Apprentice associa-
tion IN the lecture room at the works
of the firm on Promenade street, the
room for the time being resembling an
arsenal. as shells of all sizes, rifles of
various types and revolvers, charts of
big guns, and mortars and projectiles
were scattered around and were used
as illustrations to emphasize the re-
marks of the lecturer.
Mr. Owen took for his subject Fire
Arms and Projectiles of the United
States. Army" and he showed that he
was perfectly at home I'm the somewhat
complicated subject. The small arms
were briefly reviewed, and then the
rapid fire, field guns, siege guns. NOR
tars and direct fire coast defence guns
were taken up, together with the pro-
jectiles used. Technically Mr.. Owen

The committee on the new president
Tor Brown University has met and fail
ed to agree on the Rev. Edward Jud-
son. A. M, ID. d. OF New York city for

six appointed by the corporation Sept.

He will also keep a report of the work
of the committee. AS editor OF the
Baptist weekly publication the Watch
man. he is peculiarly well fitted for the
position. He graduated from Brown I'm
the class OF 1875 and was ordained a
