LETTER FROM MIR. Z. r. NOEL.

Editor Grenada Sentinel:-For the
first time since 1859, when the carpet
baggers took from the people Of Missis-
sippi and gave TO one man, the Govern.
or, the power to name the judges Of
our State, the people Of Mississippi
have an opportunity Of taking unto
themselves again the rightful power Of
which they were wrongfully deprived.
They can do this by simply putting an
(X) after the word "Yea" following the
Elective Judiciary Amendment on tho
official ballot The friends of the ap-
pointive system are attempting to di-
vide and delude the people by object
ions to tn, pending Amendment, but
no amendment could be framed to
which they could not find plausible
objections, for that is what they are
looking. For years efforts were made
to get the Legislature 10 submit to the
people the question Of whether or not
they wanted to return to an Elective
judiciary. All such efforts were de-
feated, chiefly, by the argument that
some districts would have large ma
jorities of negro voters who would
occasionally control such district,
but could not control the Governor
ship, 10 support Of which all the. white
vote of the State could be concentrated,
and, through him, control the judici-
ary. The present Amendment was
adopted by the Legislature by a vote OF
over five to one, because, while it all
lowed each district to name its candi-
date for judge in its own way and time,
without Interference from any other
district, it required the names OF all
nominees for judgeships TO be put on a
State ticket, so that every white voter
who chose, could in addition to voting
for the nominee Of his own district,
thus insure white supremacy in
every distrsck No one is hurt by this
feature as it enables the white people
to use their intelligence in a manner
to neutralize the danger of ignorant
colored domination OF any district.
II the people are capacitated to select
any officer it Is that Of judge whose
functions are performed chiefly In
crowded court room ia which every
part Of the county furnishes witnesses
Of his efficiency or inefticieucy. No other
officer is subjected to do 80 close and
accurate test. If his dependence on
approval Of the combined virtue and
intelligence Of his district, voiced by
majority Of its electors, lowers or de-
grades him, it will have the same ef-
feet upon any and all public servants,
and prove that popular elections are
failure. E. F. NOEL.

The term, Anglo-Saxon, as applied

selfish ends. Under President Cleve-
land, this cry against pension frauds,
to which have referred. reached its
climax, after the expenditure of near
~ a million OF dollars appropriated by
congress and spent in Investigations
which were fruitless. There has never
been peRiod when a defender Of the
Union should not receive his due.
1T is widely believed that large num-
bers of applications for pensions are
purposely DELAYED in allowance. and
even many worthy cases are rejected,
though tln claim is clearly established
as just enc, so as to keep down pen
sion expenditures, regardless of the
clear intent of laws passed by a CRATE
full people for the benefit of needy and
deserving veterans, and the allowances
are seldorn what the examining boards
recommend. They are nearly ALWAYS
pared down. l fear this belief is all
too well founded. NY evidence on
this point seems incontrovertible. A
soldiers widow should not be permitted
to suffer in this land of plenty, and we
stoutly insist that rule No. 225 should
be abrogated and
RULE NO lea E-ESTABLISHED
What is needed and what is not now
enforced, is to have the present pension

all financial responsibility therefor rest

longs.

Willingness to sheer at the veteran and

flaws in it, no doubts but the hue and

Exeter, N. H., Nov. 1.-THE annual
foot ball game between the two best
known preparatory schools in New
England-Philips-A and Philips
Exeter was won by Andover today, II
too. The game went to the visiting
eleven chiefly because it was heavier
by twenty pounds per player. The
game was played in a pouring rain,
and on a gridiron which was Shiny and
soft.
The contest, as it has done for 1e
years, brought out great crowd OF
supporters of both schools, although
the expected 10000 was cut in half BY
the storm. Besides many of the dig
nitaries of the two academies, Gov.
Rollins kept seat dry on the Exeter

Columbia's Score Against West Point
Due Largely to Him.

West Point, N. Y, Nov. lin a
furious game of % and 2O-minute
periods, Columbia defeated West Point
by a score of 16 to 0, on the Parade
ground. today. West Point played a
good game. but was unable to prevent
Weeks. Morley and clarendon from
forcing her line and circling her ends
for telling gains. Weeks especially. by
his squirming, wriggling, lodging
tactics, excited the wonder of the
spectators and discounted the cadets.
A light, steady rain prevailed. which
made the ball hard to hold, and fun
bling was a marked feature of the
game.
Ennis excelled in punting, but the
ends were unable to cover the ground
as fast as the ball, and Columbia. con-
tinually ran back for good gains.
while, on the other hand, clarendon
made short punts, the ends kept mace
with the ball and downed West Point
generally without gain The only dis
turbing feature of the game was the
iricessant coaching on the field and
from the side lines of Sanford, Colum-

State college eleven at foot ball. by the
scbre of AZ to 0, 80 points being score
in the first half The fastest kind OF
foot ball was played by the sons OF
Eli; who carried the visitors on their
feet time after time for good gains.
The Yale offense throughout the game
was strong and her defense was also
well maintained.
The visitors twice tried the guards
back formation in the centre OF the
field On the first try the onslaught
netted them ten good yards, but on the
next attempt Yale stopped he forma-
ton for no loss.
Smith, the Pennsylvania State right
half back, played an excellent game,
his two runs of So yards through the
whole Yale squad after circling
Schweppe, being sensational in the
extreme, especially when he passed the
ban to another back upon being
tackled. This resulted in touchdown,
which, however, was not allowed,
owing to foul IN the line before the
ball was put into play. Wood at right
end was remarkable for his aggressive
ness.
Gordon Brown, for Yale. did great
work in advancing the ball, and Dupee
showed up well at half back, playing
a fine, steady game throughout the first
half with Richards. Capt McBride's
punting was perhaps the best seen on
the Yale field this season. His kick
ing was high and well directed, and
the ends in the first half were able to
cover them we'll
The field was wet and disagreeable
wind was blowing during the game.
After the game, the visiting players
said that, judging from their experience
with Princeton and Yale, the latter
eleven played harder and faster foot

She assists her mother in all social

years to excellent account, by the

things we'll" that characterizes her
father.
The general has been his daughters
'chum" until recently. They ride and
walk and read together. In the spring
and fall they are often seen mounted
on spirited horses and cantering about
the suburbs of Washington, followed
by Miss Miles favorite dogs, a Gordon
setter and a fox terrier.
Recently the general has been super

successor on the rides and drives and

Capt Reber is the son of Judge
Reber of st. Louis. His mother was,
before her marriage, Miss Sherman of
Ohio, first cousin of Mrs Miles. The
betrothed pair. are, therefore, second

approval as general and Mrs. Miles
have shown to that of their daughter
1T is so nice to feel that it is alto

Miles. 1T is not like having our
daughter taken away from us. Capt.
Reber's relatives are ours. The only
difference will be that instead of con-
tinuing to be his Cousin Mary I will
in future be mother to both.
Nothing definite has been settled in
regard to the date of the marriage, in
spite of its being such an old affair
Those questions will be discussed later
on"
Dame Rumor has several times
coupled Miss Miles name in a matri-
monial way, with various admirers
but the present engagement is her first
one.
To little Celia Miles big Sam Reber
was always her boy hero. He was SO
big and strong, and though he was Is
years older than she, he deigned to play
with her, and she exulted in the honor.
They were happy times for Baby Miles
when her parents visited Judge Reber's
family, or the Rebers returned the visit,
because they always meant some glor-

most compact plays ever seen in a
foot ball game here, and assisted by
several good end runs. For Cornell.
Young at quarter back, Morrison at
right half back, StaTbuck at full back
and Taussig and Davall ends, did the
best work. Trout, Ely, Bray and Wei
denmeyer were the stars of the La

largest gains of the game by breaking
through after the line buck. In the

The Cornell team had fully expected

more compact, as well as to learn how
to more effectively stop onslaughts.
