Newspaper Comment.

Just think of it, Contemplate
tiiu picture. 'Hna nation at war
with foreign country, matters
involving the outlay of millions
of dollars are before congress
daily, Mississippi has bat one
senator, while the governor sits at
jackson surrounded by his gang
of pot house politicians waiting,
watching, scheming, hoping to
devise some scheme by which he
may put himself in the United
States senate against the wishes of
the state legislature and fully two
thirds of the people. Isn't it dis
graceful . 1t is nasty-contempt-
ible. My God ! When Will the
state be rid Of this incubus What
have her people done that she
should fall under this horrible
Nemesis VIII the error be cor
rected OF the next election (!
Trusting to the decency, the com
mon sense and disposition on the
part of Mississippians to do right,
we believe they will.-Common-

"Mr. Henry is district attorney
of the judicial district which in
cludes Claiborne. If the voters of
the Third Congressional District
should decide to retire General
Catchings, Claiborne would lose
district attorney. Most things
in this world have their compon-
sations. The Thirds loss will be
our gain. Port Gibson Reyeille. "
The loss of Mr.. Catchings's ser
vices would leave Mississippi with
little influence in the lower house
of congress. But he hasn't been
defeated yet, and we trust will not
be. Gulf Coast Pro gress.

THE LEvEE BOARD CASES.

In the famous suits of certain
land owners against the Leyee
Board, involving large sums OF
money, the supreme Court Of the
State has reversed the DEGREES, re-
instated and porpctuated the in
functions, and taxed all costs
against the Leyee Board.
The iniunc tions were sued out
by Messrs. Chas. Scott and Il, II.
Woods, and they made their ap,
peal upon the ground that Mr..
George r. Jacobs was legally APP
pointed and qualified as commits
sioner to assess damages, in March,
1896. Subsequently, and without
notice to him, Mr.. l.. 2. Aycock
was appointed in his place, and,
as claimed by the plaintiffs, the
decree in chaneery was rendered
under the action of an illegal trib-
maI.
The skill displayed by the attor-
neys OF the plaintiffs and the tri-
umph of their cause is Of course
just ground for their self congrat-
ulahon, but after all, the Board Of
Levee Commissioners is merely
the agent OF the people of the
Delta, and the accredited disburser
Of their funds. The friends Of the
cause OF the plaintiffs, while natu-
rally feeling certain satisfaction
at the yindication OF a safe princi-
pie, must not learn to consider the
Board as q corporation of alien
oppressors, but as the representa-
tiyes Of ourselves, even though
our own preferences may not be
consulted in their selection. In
paying the costs and damages of
such suits as those recently passed
upon, and others of like character
which will doubtless come up in
future, every property owner in
the Delta must expect to supply
his share, including even the at
torneys whose skillful management
Of the eases has resulted in such
signal triumph for their clients.

Reckoning Without the Host,

The Gussie performance may
have one valuable effect. If there
is any large expectation in mill
tary circles of the insurgents as a
factor in the work of expelling the
Spaniards from Cuba, this landing
under a pre-arranged plan of co.
operation will reduce it to whole
some proportions. That a regi-
ment or so of Spanish cavalry,
which quickly gave away before
a hundred or so of our infantry,
we're sufficient to prevent the in
surgent army" from keeping the
appointment, is an object lesson
that should be remembered. -

Mr.. Cate hings has its charms for

ary but BY a,'er associations, when
his great uncle was a leader and
power in the Whig, party Of Mis-
sissippi, yet in this contest we are
for the man who we believe can
do most for our most vital interest
and will support Mr.. Catchings.
1t is said that Mr.. Henry's
nomination was suggested by a
goldbug. There is no objection
to goldbugs preferring Mr.. Henry;
but there should also be granted
to the free silver men the privilege
to support Mr.. Catchings, con

that no other can SO surely accom-
plish what all admit to be our
greatest and most pressing inter
est at this time. Safety before

The Masses Wonder.


Whether Justly or not, the con.
duct OF the war by the govern
ment is coming in for a good deal
OF sharp criticism. The unen-
llghtened masses cannot under
stand the policy blockading Cuban
ports, and thus starving to death
the very people in whose interest
the war was entered upon, instead
of having captured the island at
once by the combination, if ne
cessary, of our two fleets. They
have become aweary of hearing of
''the flying squadron" which was
actually Gagged in Hampton Roads;
recalling the criticism of Homer
for referring to Achilles as
''the swift-footed" on all occasions
even while he way lying prone in
his tent. They did not and can
not now understand why one or
the other of the fleets was not sent
to attack the Spanish fiotilla at the
Cape Verde Islands; as would
have been done under a Nelson, a
Paul Jones, or Dewey. They
cannot understand why SIMPSONS
fleet should have made such an, at
least, apparent tiasco at San Juan,
and thus encouraged the previous
ly disheartenod Spaniards. They
cannot understand the vaciIlation
that has characterized all the or
ders Tor the movements of troops;
for the descent upon Cuba and
those issued to Sampson. They
wonder how it happened that, be-
fore war existed, tilibustering ex-
peditions were frequently success
fully landed in Cuba, despite the
combined efforts of the United
States and Spain, whereas the only
one attempted since the blockade
was instituted signally if not igno-
miniously failed. They wonder
now the stragetic board has man
aged to remain in such dense ig-
norance of the movements of the
Spanish fleet while those of our
ships seem to be well known at
Madrid, They have shrewd sus-
picion that Dewey cut the cable
at Manila so that he could not be
hnpered by stupid orders from
the authorities at Washington; at
least think ifEhe was notlnfuenced
by this consideration he could
have been. They wonder, if it
takes SO long to prepare to fog
Spain, how many years would be
required to prepare to combat
tirst-class power. They wonder
what prompts Mckinley to persist
in prosecuting the war on a peace
basis. They wonder why the stra-
tegic board is not replaced by ex-
perts imported from Japan, who
could give the present one valu-
able pointers on the proper con
duct of war. And, finally, they
stand aghast at the prospect of
collision with the European pow
ers and the consequences that
would likely result from the in
efficient control of the army and
navy by weakling like the Exc
cutive.
