Let's Try The Mississippi Plan

There are seven candidates Tor the
office Of governor of Mississippi. All
have announced themselves asplrants
to that high position. How different
/ is in Louisiana. Here no n has
made any announcement OF his can
didacy. Doubtless many citizens OF
the State would like to be governor,
but under the prevailing methods III
Louisiana politics il is foolish for any
n to aspire to an Office Of trust and
honor unless he is the choice OF q
combination. A few men in the State
have a lead pipe cinch on all the pest
Offices and when the time comes tney
divide them among themselves. Since
the Democrats have run the Republl-
can thieves out OF the state House
the Democracy has been a most pro-
life source of combinations. IL has
been a sort of swapping game al
around. At the present time there
are two sscombines'' or "dickers' II
the process of incubation and unless
enough Offices are found to placate
the leaders and an understanding i
had. there will be two candidates To-
the goyernorship. Outside Of thes'
. two no one need apply. Any othe
man may possess all the qualification
to make a good governor, but 1t |
, absolute folly for him to make an Ell
fort to secure the nomination.
1t would be immeasurably bette
for the party if more liberal method
were employed. The campaign ough
to be fought on lines, and every ma
who aspires to the Office of governo
should be given . hearing. Half
: dozen men have not the right to selec
a nominee for the whole Democrac.
of the State. Let the contest be fire
ard open and let the voters hay
something to say about it. Hereto
fore they have only been called upo
to ratify what the self appointed lead
ers did. It's time that they shout
be consulted a little bit if just for til
: looks of things.-Lafayette Gazette.

In these days when 20 many men
are ready in their mad race for wealth
to sacrifice almost everything for
money is a public ~benefaetor, whose
good influence upon the youth of the
country is i~nealculable. Such a man
is General Leonard Wood, military
governor of Santiago and formerly
commander Of the Rough Riders.
General Wood, who is at present in
Washington to see his wife and to
confer. with the war department, must
have been sorely tempted when the
Washington Street Railway and Elee-
trio Light Syndicate offered him $780,
900 q year to resign from the army
and become its president; his salary
las d brigadier general Of volunteers,
the rank he now holds, is only $500.
But if SO he has put the temptation
behind him and announced his inten-
ton to return to his duties at San
tiago, and to remain in the army as
long as his services were required.
That announcement is all the more
praiseworthy, for having been made
after the yellow fever was reported tc
have broken out at Santiago. 1t i.

Editors OF the Beacon We are two
Hollanders who have bought land and
have settled in this county ard wethink
it strange that the immigration authori-
ties of this State do not direct other set
tiers of our nationality TO this county.
We have seen by the papers that many
Hollanders have been sent to the East
ern Shore of Maryland. especially on
Hog Island, in Caroline county. These
settlers have become dissatisfied with
that section of the State and have left
or sold out at considerable loss 10 them.
Why is it, that Mr.. Won der Hooght, the
State agent, does not try this section OF
the State?
We have found the land here good
aud cheap; the climate excellent and
the people kind and generous. We are
well pleased and feei confident that our
people would be satisfied here aud would
find a profitable investment for their
money. We are living comfortably and
expect to make our work here remuner.
