The situation is changing from
gloom to brightness for the Dem
ocratic party. The Mckinley ad-
ministration has got to bear the
burden of bringing under the Am
ercan flag 5000, 900 seml-savages
and a territory as useless to us as
the heart of Africa. 1t has got to
find the revenue to meet it. The
task is practically impossible.

STATE REVENUE AGENT.
"He was wise, practical states
man conceived the office of State
revenue agent, and the people will
hardly be beguiled into abolishine
it. 1t costs them nothing. and
puts thousands into their treasury
which would never get there
through State, county and ;Iuni-
cipal agencies. These bodies are
busy with current affairs, and
have not time, expertness or in
clination TO delve into past delin-
guencies.
NEW STATEHOUSE.
.sThe absolute necessity of a
new capitol building is patent to
all snen, and it is incredible that
the next Legislature will fail to
provide for it. 1t should be on a
scale worthy the dignity of the
State and the present stage of the
worlds progress. Massiveness
and beauty of architecture should
characterize our public buildings.
Mississippi should not have to ask
of her sister States the time of
day on the clock of civilization.
A Slate is judged by her public
structures and her public roads.
THE PENITENTIARY.
"The State penitentiary should
be speedily removed from the cap
ital city to some healthy farm. 1t
is an eyesore here, and Is on pro-
perty of very large salable value,
and it is wretched economy to
keep it where it is.
THoROUGHFARES.
"By examining the public road
laws of the other States some
scheme should be de'visable to i'm
prove our thoroughfares, and thus
work out an enormous public
economy in the interest of the till
ers of the soil. Of course, lay
man has not time for this, but
those selected for public service
should. Fine roads invite immi-
grafton more than statutes en-
couraging it.
MOB VIOLENCE.
'Some means must be found to
mob violence. Many
good suggestions have been made
on this subject, notably those of
the Hon. Frank Johnston, late at
torney general, in his report to
the Legislature of 1896. Humani-
ty demands action prompt and
vigorous. Certainly we might add
a clause to our constitution, pros
pective in its operation, requiring
an oath of every-office holder that
he has not been one of mob. AS
it seems nearly all want Office,
State, county or municipal, this
might be beneficial, and all par
ticipants in acts of mob violence
should be disqualified from there
after holding any office of honor
or profit. EDUCATION.
"Time admits of suggestion on
ly, and not discussion. At some
other time you may have my views
somewhat at length on the best
to reduce the cost of our
publicschool
system which now consumes more
than three-quarters of our total
revenues. 1t will be my effort
then to show that this may be
done with no decrease in eficien-
cy, and even with an increase of
the miserable pittance we pay the
teachers, who are the very most
factors in the elevation
of our race. The radical blunder

The rIcEnery Resolution.

The McEnery resolution got
through the Senate after some de-
lay and is now before the House.
1t is a square-toed declaration
that we do not intend to annex
the Philippines or keep them per-
manently in any shape. 1t is a
victory in the sense that it forced
the Senate to put itself on record
where it was very reluctant 10 do
so. If it could be put through
the House it would perhaps serve
as check on the Republican
Imperialistic policy. 1t is likely
to be shelved, however. "Money"
is the magic word in all the House
measures now and mere resolu-
tion will have a hard tine of it.
The McEnery resolution reflects
credit on its author and is a ge-
nuine expression of Democratic
opinion on the Philippines. 1t is
likely to be forgotten when Re-
publican Congress begins to for
mulate a Philippine policy. But
that is no fault of ours.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN MANILA,
Commissioner DENLY Forwards a Cir
cular of the Provost Marshal General.

That the march of civilization is making
steady progress in the city of Manila under
the auspices of the United States military
authorities is evidenced in a commu-.
nlcatlon received at the State Department.
from Mr.. Charles DENLY acting president
of the Philippine commission appointed by
President Mckinley. Under date of Ma
Mia, July l. he forwards a copy of a print
ed circular issued by the provost marshal
general providing for the reopening of the
public schools in Manila
1t will he seem he saws that fhe
teaching Of the English language is COM
pulsory Under the Spanish government a
small fee was charged for tuition, but now
it is to be entirely free The question of
whether books shall be furnished free of
cost is being considered by the military
authorities. 1t is probable that parents who
are able to pay for books Will be required :
to do so, but the poor will not be charged
therefor. Extended observations on the
Importance of this movement, which has
always been pressed by the commission,
are deemed to be Unnecessary"
The circular is dated Manila June Is
1899, and is signed by Col. Williston pro-
Vost marshal general. 1t is printed in En-:
glish, Spanish and Tagai and provides ins
part as follows:
The pubic schools will be reopeped
Monday, July ), for the school year of
nine months duration Regular attendance
at some school of all children between the
ages of six and twelve years will be re-
quired. The police of each district will take
note of this requirement, to enforce the
attendance and report delinquents, and
when the facts are clearly established see
ing to the attendance at the proper public
schools according to residence in each dis
trict or section of a district. One hours in
struction per day in ali public schools shall
be devoted TO teaching the English Ian
guage. The public schools shall be opened
every day in the week excepting Thurs
days and Sundays from 7:s0 am. to 1920
am and from 2:3o pm. 10 ) pm, provided
that all public schools shall also be closed :
on legally constituted holidays, and to achers
