Hon. JOHN @. STEWART, deputy Supt.
of Public Instruction, does not take the
ordinary gloomy view af the reduction of
the school appropriation by the Govern
or. He insists that the School Board that
reduces the salaries OF the teachers, or in
any way modifies the school facilities
during the next year, will have absolute
ly no excuse. He says, on the contrary.
that they should provide all the facilities
possible and mako such liberal provision
In the way of compensation as to secure
the best teaching talent. Mr.. Stewart,
discussing the proposition that many
school districts do not levy any school
tax whatever, says that this is true with
respect to only three or four districts in
the State.

SOME of the experts are figuring out
small wheat crop for the United States
and large one for Europe. Under this
condition of things there would be a
heavy falling off in exports next fall and
winler,an tie favorable balance oftrade.
which has been large recently to an un-
paralleled degree, would decline to near
the vanishing point, or it might dsap-
pear altogether. The balance has declined
indeed in the past month, and further
shrlnkage is probable. No reasonable
person supposed the margin of few
months ago could be kept up long. 1t is
a little too early, however, to do any fig
uring on the wheat crop which will be
worth much. There is a chance that the
spring wheat may make up tor the loss
which is apparent in the winter product.
Then, again, Europe is long way from
the harvest time, and many things can
happen before its crop is gathered. Six
or eight weeks hence the world will
know good deal more about the wheat
conditions in the United States and
Europe than il does to-day.

THE Democrats at st. Louis failed to
agree on policy for the coming Presi-
dental campaign. They probably prefer
to wait until the Republicans have desig-
mated policy, after which, in true Dem
ocratic style, they will take what is left.
-Bhzzdrd. The trouble with the Dem
ocrats is, they never know exactly where
they are at until the Republicans set the
pace, and then they get themselves in the
attitude of the breeching of a harness, and
do as much holding back as possible.
After all somewhat necessary adjunct
to the body polite.

the JACKSON TAlKFEST,
Notable Gathering Of Leading Politicians
ut tho State Capital.

N"'"o'c u"thcrihR OF Leading Politician.
at the State Capital.
Thursday of last week we attended
the political gathering held at the state
capital, and rs we stood in the shade Of
the old capitol and under the large TEN
watch ng in review the noble sons O,
our grand old state, we were proud te
know and say we were a Mississippian.
There is no state in the union that has
a nobler and more intelligent body OF
men and beautiful women than our own
and there need be no tears but that the
dark political clouds which now hove,
over us will soon disappear and as bright
n sky as was witnessed last Thursday
will give new life to her vast industries
and welcome immigration and capital
to her borders.
The candidates for governor, with the
exception of Judge Critz, who was at
Senatobia, and Major James X. varda-
man. who, with his men, is still at San.
tiago, gave their stand on the political
issues before the people. There was
very little difference in their views.
Montgomery, a noble soldier, is making
his war record his strong card Powell,
his ability as a judge and his strong on
position to mob law /; Longino, his abil-
ity and popularity McCool, his opposi-
ton to the revenue agent and all. ex.
cept Montgomery, their opposition to
McLaurinism. Mr.. Harrison, candidate
for lieutenant governor, Just before ad-
journment for dinner, made a strong
appeal for the votes of his hearers.
This campaign is hardly opened yet.
for in another three weeks questions of
state will confront these men, on which
will have to 20 on record.
After adjournment for dinner the
meeting was opened by the candidates
for the minor offices. and each presented
his claims for the place to which he n.
pired. This was followed by the gov.

ernor and Private John in their race for
the senatorship. The governor spoke
first, and his pointed remarks received
applause. He unwound the same old
ball of mistakes and misdeeds which
he has undone on every stump on which
he has appeared during this canvass
but, as usual, the determined private
gets it all tangled up in such shape that
he wads 1t up, sticks it in his pocket
and waits till leisure to rewind it for
the next occasion. The governor never
tries to answer Johns charges, and
never will, for they are true. Nothing
struck us so forcibly as, when he was
speaking, we yazed through the iron
gates of the capitol grounds, where
stood the marble statue of that grand old
Mississippian, jefferson Davis. with his
back to him. The picture truly looked
more life like than ever, for, no doubt,
were he living today he would, like
otuSi NiuC uICI' uot ouly tulu MS DuCh
on McLaurin, hut move ont of his hear
ing.
Owing to the early leaving of our
train we were unable to hear it ont, but
from all accounts the governor was
handled more roughly at jackson by
the private than at any other place,
We found there a very strong senti-
ment for John s. Williams to enter the
race, but, as many say, with McLaVin-
ism in 1t, he cannot long be in the fight (
before he will be compelled to support
or denounce il. While we cannot ad-
mire the tactics adopted in the battle
for senatorial honors, still we do admire
the fearlessness with which Allen tears
the mask from McLaurin and his clan.
The exercises were presided over by
r. H. Henry of The Clarion Ledger in
a very able and satisfactory manner,
while the welcome address of Judge s.
s. Calhoun was highly praised.
