LEGLSLATITE NOTES.

The Cox bill to prevent the opera
ton of trusts and combines in Mis-.
sissippi and to provide penalty for
the violation of the provisions of the
law, was fayorably reported Saturday
by the committee on trusts aud COM
bines, to which it had been referred.
It was on motion of the author, made
the special order for consideration in
the House yesterday.
The committee on trusts and COM
bines also reported bill Saturday for
bidding any enterprise to be chartered
for the purpose of carrying out more
than one specific kind of business. 1t
was recommitted on suggestion of the
chairman of the committee.
On Saturday Gov. Longiuo approved
the House bill permitting the Board of
Election Commissioners to appoint
county registrars before Feb. IL. aud
it is now the law The board met on
Monday to appoint these officials.
The Senate judiciary committee held
an important meeting Friday evening,
at which the chief thing under con-
sideration was Senator Noels bill
putting the elective judiciary amend
ment in operation, which had been re-
committed After going fully into
the matter the committee decided to
report substitute bill instead of an
amended bill, as they did formerly.
This substitute bill provides that the
election of judges shall take place on
Nov. I, 1903, and every four years
thereafter The amended bill re-
ported last week set the date on Nov.
I, 1901 The Legislature of 1904 will
thus declare the result instead of 1902
The terms of all the present incum-
bents are extended until their sue
cessors shall be elected and qualify.
The present judges will therefore have
small cause to cavil at the terms of
the bill, which gives them such an ex-
tension of their terms of office.
In the House on Saturday, Repre-
sentative Senter, of Lowndes, offered
a concurrent resolution prohibiting
State printing from going out of the
State, which was referred to the com
mittee Oh public printing \ letter
was read from Secretary of State
Power, who is also president of the
Board of Public Contracts, explaining
why foreign concerns having charge of
the public printing of the State could
not furnish the public printing earlier.
Mr.. Senter thought the work should
be given to those who reside in and
pay taxes in the State. And Mr. Sen
ter has it down about right. Every
bit of the public printing which can
be done 10y Mississippi printing offices
should be kept at home

4 CHRISTIAN DAILY,

Rev. Chas. M. Sheldon, author of
"In His Steps," is to be given an OPP
portunity to edit daily newspaper as
he thinks Christian daily should be
edited. For ther week beginning
March Ii, he will have absolute con
troll of every department of the To
peka tkan.l Capital News, editorial
and advertising. At the Detroit con
vention of the Christian Endeavor
Society, Mr. Sheldon asked what phil
anthropic gentleman in this age of
munificent endowments to educational
institutions would give 100000 for
the creation of great Christian daily"
The philanthropic gentleman has not
appeared with the money, but Dell
keyser, the president of the Topeka
Capital Company, offered to give the
paper to Mr.. Sheldon for one week and
the offer has been accepted. 1t is I'M
derstood that able writer's are to assist
Mr.. Sheldon, and that statesmen,
prominent divines, and editors of some
of the dailies of New York, Chicago
and st. Louis will help him by sug-
gestions.
A week is entirely too short space
of time for a fair test either for or
against Mr.. Sheldon's idea. If he
were given whole year, and at the
end of that period could show a hand
some balance over expenses, or in
stead if the office were attached and
seized by unpaid but importunate cred
itors, the experiment might prove
something.

The nineteeth century is going out
with bad health record. In Europe
the winter has been the worst known,
not in its severity, but in it's dampness
and fogs that have prevailed. These
have developed the worst epidemic of
influenza the country has ever known.
1t is raging in London, where the death
rate has doubled. In Berlin, Munich
and even in Italy, unusually free from
similar maladies, the cold and influenza
hold sway, In South Africa the heat
is proving equally fatal. In Argen-
tine and Uruguay the winter has
been the hottest ever known and tenn
perature of 100 degrees in the shade is
not uncommon. On Sunday, the 4th
ult., ia persons died of sunstroke at
Buenos Ayres. The bubonic plague is
raging in India, Japan, the PHILIPPINES
and Hawaii. 40S dead in one day at
Bombay. How blest we are down here

The Canal Appropriation.

The action of the house committee i'll
cutting down the appropriation for the
Nicaragua canal to $1O,0O0,0OO is not
intended as n blow at the bill, but SIM
ply to provide the amount necessary to
start the work, leaving it to succeeding
congresses to appropriate the rest of
the money as the enterprise progresses.
There is no need for large apprOpria-
ton this year. 1t could not be used,
and every dollar above the actual ex-
penditure would revert to the treasury
at the end of the fiscal year, and re-
appropriation would have to be made.
If the whole sum necessary to con-
struct the work were allowed, it would
make this congress seem most eXtrava-
CANT in appropriations, and therefore
the leaders advised that only $10,O00,-
600 be named for use this year.

rem the other day, land it is therefore
no longer an experiment"
"DO IT, women really Yote:'
"They do. The number of women
who cast their ballots is as great in
proportion to population as the aggre-
gate total of voters of the other sex.
1t may be that in a few remote coun-
ties where it is very inconvenient to
get TO the polls this average does not
obtain, but the exception merely proves
the rule. We have had some women
officials, but they have generally been
connected with school work and have
made admirable officers. We have
never yet had woman member of the
legislature. In fact, ne woman, so far
as can remember, was ever nominal
ed for a legislative position"
Glow are the polls on election day."
"They are as quiet as church, and

polls without fear of trouble and cast
their ballots They take deep inter-
est in political questions, and their
right of suffrage is exercised with

Social Regulations,

Washington society is formal and
ceremonious. Probably there is no city
in this country where social connec-
tons are so strictly observed, and GER
tain it is there is no city in the land
where there is such punctilious observ-
ance of precedence established by Off
cial rank.
For instance, it is said that the
wives of cabinet members are now ex-
pectcd to call on the wives of senators
first.
You may not think that is a very Sc
rious matter, but it is. Time was when
this important point was not settled
and Washington society was in tur-
moil because of iealousics cngendered
over the fact that this point was still
debatable. Now it is recognized Gus
tom. 1t has been for years The rea-
son is, so the wives of senators argue,
that cabinet members have to be con-
firmea by the senate, and therefore in
a measure they are creatures of that
body and consequently lower in rank

fulness at the bungholc of the treas

Cockrell of Missouri has won this title
and distinction. IL appears. however,
that there are certain strata of society
in which the significance of this So

In slowly and with proper dignity the

remark, That's Senator Cockrell of

front of him riveted upon him with in
dignant glances. How do you dare
apply such term to Senator Cockrell,

Cockrell attempted to explain that in
the strangers remark there was an
implied compliment of very high value
to her father, but her friend could not
be made to see it in that light. The
man attempted to apologize, but in
vain. The girls swept out of the gal
