WHAT EDGAR SAYS.
B, F. D.

That all-around good fellow and up.
to-date writer, Edgar Wilson, says
some things some times that we can
not refrain from using. Now here is
the way the genial Ed starts out on a
very true and readable article. Its
introductory portion is so very apro-
pos Of affairs in the State that it is
quoted as follows:
"The people are the source OF all
power; they are the masters, and not
the slaves, Of Office holders or office
seekers: they make and nnmake: they
are human and sometimes make mis-.
takes. But when such mistakes have
been made-when incompetent officers
have been clccted-the people have an
opportunity at the next election to
correct their mistakes.
$40 do this, however. when politics
has become trade. they must he ON
the alert. They must not wait fol
the paceman to stock the cards or
lay the pipes, by which he can again
hold Office. The placcnlan is like in.
terest on money. He never sleeps.
While the honest taxpayer is sleeping
the sleep Of the just the perpcl ual
candidate is laying hls schemes, aud
he is looking ahead to the day when
he may be able to thwart the will of
the majority, and by some labar-
inthlan route make the official land
ing.
1.-THE fact is that the spoilsman is
now at work. He is scheming for
position, and he is making nice of no
hold that will compass his aspira.
t'tnS. Que OF tie ways he hopes TO
win is to combine with other men
who have given up everything else
tor the uilicc seeking and office hold
ing, and he promises to swap inhn-
ences. When such conditions eXis,
the people are the sufferers. The
taxpayers arc made to sweat blood.
but To come down to the truth of
the matter, the people are themselves
to blame for it. They are the source
or all power. While they may not
hclp the professional politician into
oilice-ty voting and using their in
lluence FOR him-they stay at home
ana allow him to make his calling
ana election sure. Every man who
lalls to cast his inlncnre against the
sclemlng politician and the profes.
slonal Office hunter contributes to the
success OF such candidate and Office
hunter, and ii he sweats and grunts
under heavy load lie has nobody to
blame for it but himself"

On orders from Col. Young, OF the
Second Regiment Engineers, Y. S. ",
| left Pascagoula on the llth Of June,
to recruit 4 company Of engineers at
indianapolis, Indiana. After dodging
various aud suldry phases Of quar-
antlne, most bcastly and without JUS
ticc, l reached Indianapolis on the
lith, and began to look for artisans OF
all classes-fr0m the Farrier, who pre-
vents the festive mule from cracking
his bare feet in the attempt to ease a
hoosier Of his brain, and the cook,
deadly than the doctor, to the full
fledged graduates OF our colleges, who
know more than has ever been written.
On completion OF the company we
go to Fort Sheridan, illinois, for
equipment then HE to Porto Rico.
From time to time l hope to keep
you posted, Of at least one Pascagoula
man, and as many more as l run across

RESURRECTION OF AMEs.

IL was said OF the late Coufcdcracy
In the period " Us distress that LO
maintain It's armies II had fObbed the
cradle and the grave. We have al
ready been drawing pretty freely upon
the cradle for stan appointments ami
in searching for material 10 make
brigadier generals Tie President GER
tainly Is rObbing the grave. Some
most astonishing resurrectlOns have
been accomplished OF men supposed to
have been long dead, though In the
case OF the numerous Ohio men chosen
or decoration it must be remembered
that an OHIO politician never dies.
The resurrection OF Adclbert Ames,
however, borders on the miraculous.
Those whose memory reaches back to
the reconstruction period will not
need to be told who this warrior was,
and they will wonder even more than
the younger folk how anybody came to
think OF him. The civil war produced
sufficiently variergated list of
civilian generals, but the list we are
getting up now is positively wcrid.
Philadelphia Times.
Adelbcrt Ames, appointed by the
President brigadier general Is re.
membered BY the people OF Misss-
sippi, as he was the carpet bag
governor, who resigned and fled the
State In 1876 when the white people
elected Legislature. Impeachment
proceedings were brought against
Ames and Davis and CORDOBA. Davis
and CORDOBA were. respectively,
Lieutenant governor and superintend-
ant OF education. Davis was a Missis-
sippian and CORDOBA was a carpet
bagger. Both were negroes. They
were both convicted and broken OF
their offices. Ames agreed through
his attorneys, that il the inpeach-
ment proceedings against him we're
that he would resign and
leave the State. His proposition was
accepted, he resigned at once and left
at once. Ames was first military gov
ernor OF the State, and was afterwards
elected governor, defeating Alcorn.
Ames was a son-in-law Of beast Butler. |

Col. Woods Rough Riders saved the
day at La Quasina on Friday last.
The troops fought the Spaniards for
over an hour, and the odds against
them we're two to one, but they gained
a glorious victory and sent the Dons
fleeing to Santiago. Only sixteen
Americans killed, while sixty were
wounded or reported missing. Infor-
nation was conveyed to Gen. Shafter
by a Spanish deserter from Santiago,
who surrendered to Shafter at Seyilla
on Monday. He said 200 Spaniards
were killed in the battle with the
Rough Riders and so wounded. The
bodies of los Spanish soldiers and all
the wounded were brought into San
tiago on Saturday. The deserter told
the American general that the
Spaniards were greatly surprised be-
cause the Americans did not run at

This Years Style.
Mobile Register.

The idiosyncracies OF the new style,
"1S9S" quarantine, are shown BY the
experience Of a man and his wife who
want to 60 New Orleans, having come
To Mobile from Pass Christian, Miss.
Pass Christian Is not a fcyer-infected
place. There has been no fever there
this season. There was no fever there
last season. Nevertheless, because il
is In Harrison county, Mississippi,
and McHenry, an infected town, is m
the same county, New Orleans has
quarantined against it, and the gen.
tlcman and lady now here cannot 60
to New Orleans because they cannot
get certificate that they have not
been in Harrison county. They are
told that they can go to the camp Of
detention just outside Uf McHenry,
and after a stay Of ten days there they
can go into New Orleans, but the gen
tleman Is naturally adverse to going
to a camp Of detention where
people from Mcllenry is close
at hand. Hc does not want to get
that close to the actual fever. To top
the ahsurdity, the physician at F0n-
taineblean says he will not under any
consideration admit into the camp Of
detention any person from "A healthy
place-Mobile, for example. Still an
other feature is that II the gentleman
an6 his wife should remain here ten
days and then apply to the health
officer not telling hlm anything OF
their habitat, they could demand and
the health officer would have to give
them without further enquiry a Ger
tificate saying that they hau been In
Mobile ten days and during that time
had not been exposed to fever. With
this they could eutcr New Orleans;
but as they have admitted In advance
that they came from Pass Christian,
they are barred out. Now what a
sweet little piece OF annoying humbug
is this quarantine we have that is OF
the variety known as the 1888"

A GREAT BIG LEGAL BATTLE.
The Suit Against the Treasurers In.
wolves Many.


Clarion Ledger.
The convention Of county treasurcrs
and ex-treasurers held In the Senate
chamber Monday afternoon, did not
adjourn until o O'Clock at night, aud
thUse delegates who were left ~ The
city this morning positively refused
10 diyulge amy Of the secrets OF the
meeting. For seven hours they re-
mained in session, formulating plans
to meet the battle which Mr.. Adams,
the State Revenue Agent, is about to
bring against them, aud during that
length Of time ii Is reasonable " sup
pose they got everything fixed up u
to their entire satisfaction.
One of the delegates, less discreet
than the Others, In conversation with
u ClariOn-Ledger reporter, said:
THE StAte Revenue Agent has no
grounds whatever upon which To
bring this suit, and We are going to
fight it to the bitter end. do not
believe there Is a circuit court in the
State in which he can secure judg-
ment in such cause. The treasurers
and ex-treasurers feel that they have
done nothing morally or legally wrong
in collecting this commission OF two
and One-half per cent. on the common
school fund, and we are now making
arrangements to employ the best legal
talent that money can secure to fight
the case for us.
"The interests involved are vaster
than the revenue agent has yet con-
iectured. At least forty persons In
each county in the State will be vital
ly interested in the suit. 1t includes
not only the trcasurers and cx-treas-
urers but their bOndsmen as well, and
they are legion. II the suits are
brought simultaneously all over the
State it will involve the names OF fully
three thousand OF the best citizens OF
the commonwealth. You can now see
the combination that Mr.. Adams is
about to go up against"
The most important question before
the convention OF Monday was the
financial plan OF the fight. They ar
ranged a pro rata assessment based on
the amount each treasurer will prob
ably be involved in the prospective
suit. and an executive committee was
appointed to attend to the collections.
The attorneys engaged tn conduct
the defense are MesSrs. Melville and
Thompson, OF this city. Messrs. Miller,
Smith aud Hirsch, Vicksburg, and
Hon. Phil A. Rush, Of Senatobia.
They are to be paid u fec OF $1,000, TO

now in operation against the three
coast counties OF Mississippi. The
bill will be presented as soon rs its
preparation can be completed and the
proper notice given Which will prob
ably be the latter part of next week
Ii the injunction issues, one Of the
greatest legal battles ever fought Ia
this country will be engaged In. Its
end will probably be in the supreme
court Of the United States. II this
suit terminates successfully it Will
forever settle the senseless quarantine
OF one State against another, and no
one need ever fear to come to the
coast because OF quarantine when
there Is no infectious or contagious
disease prevalent. The gentlemen
engaged In this cause are among the

The Hattiesburg Progress advises
the Governor to burn his letters of
explanation as soon as written. Prima
facic for an official to rush into print
to excuse or defend himself, Is cyi-
dence of Il weak man and weak case.
Let him write as much as he will, he
cannot escape the rule; that he must
stand or fall by the facts Of his re.
ord. lf these are with him. he needs
40 letter OF explanation; il against
him, such shifts will not save him
from just judgment. In the case of
Governor McLaurin there Is the less
call for publishing explanations, as he
has such able and staunch organs TO
plead his cause.

The war revenue tax law goes into
effect to-day. 1t goes for almost ev-
cry business. No check can be drawn
or money borrowed, no contract can
be made through broker or agent for
the sale Of real estate or, personal
property, no deed of conveyance or
mortgage given, no policy Of insur-
ance can be issued, no freight
can be shipped, no telegram can be
sent, and no remittance can be made
without paying tax to the Federal
Government. This Is the most search
Ing law now In existence.

from the Penitcntiary Board of Con.
tr0l TO turn over to the Board of Trus-

made on the same condition as the
appropriation OF the Legislature
which the Governor vetoed, and on
the assurance from him that the bill
would not be again vetoed in toto.
This will put the College on its feet
