A Human Life.
A ship that throbs along in dire distress
Till lost in oceans of forgetfulness.
A tangle Of sweet flowers, whose petals
turn
To ash of unfulfillment in an urn,
A wfsp of tangled threads, whose parted
ends
NO delft hand joins, no endless effort
mends.
A play whose tickle players merely greet
And go and leave the story incomplete.
A bud that, opens brilliant at the dawn,
Filings sweet perfume for moment and
is gone.
A breath between cradle and bier,
The blending Of smile, sob, tear.
A book whose pages turn with each new
day
Till Time has read the tale and cast away.
A mask worn till passing play is done
To cloak. a wrath and hide a skeleton.
A lie whose ghostly semblance is con-
cealed
Till In a shroud its untruth lies revealed.
A thing that shapes the sod for brief
day
And dies and leaves its faithful slave
mere clay.
A story that is told ere It's begun.
A song that only whispers anti is done.
A thing that chains the lightning and
that stirs
The deep-the elements its messengers.
Il Lord of the sea and sky, a ruler proud
That quakes at storms and trembles at q
cloud.
That comes and goes on wings unseen
a germ
That grows to fill grave and feed a
worm.

AID FOR THE OLD CONFED ERATE
VETERANS

A Memorial has been presented to
the Legislature from the W. r. Barks-
dale Camp of Confederate Veterans OF
Grenada. urging that body to make
more liberal appropriations for the old
Confederate veterans who are unable
to earn a support OIL have no relatives
who are able and willing to support
them. We are glad indeed to see this
move on foot and hope to see it crystal
lie into something substantial for
these poor old veterans of the Lost
Cause.
The custom has been heretofore TO
heap upon the leaders in that great
clash of arms all the good things and
leave the poor ~privates to their fate.
No truer o Drawer men ever went
forth TO battle for cherished rights
than our Confederate heroes, and the
State is poor indeed that would deny
them a liberal pension now that they
are old, poverty-stricken and decrepit'
Many of them contracted diseases in
camp that rendered them unfit for la
Dor; others received wounds from
which they have never recovered and
nearly all of them had their earthly
possessions swept away by the war,
hence it is nothing but just and right
that they not only be pensioners on
our sympathies but u means as we'll.
1t is true that our state is pensionlng
them already, but it is only "a ~pittance;
not sufficient to keep soul and body
together" hence we hope the present
Legislature will hear and heed the in
tercessions made in behalf of these old
battle-sc red veterans. 1T will not be
long before the last actor in that bloody
drama will have answered the last
bugle call and be mustered out of SER
vice here, hence the burden imposed
on US in granting them liberal pensions
will be of short duration. While they
are with US let us make their last days
happy and peaceful ones. Members Of
the w. r Rarksdale Camp, push your
claim, for it is indeed a just one, born
of love, that great moving power of
the universe.

The writer spent a portion Of last
Monday and Tuesday in jackson meet
ing and conversing with old friends
and forming many new acquaintances'
While there we had the pleasure OF be-
ing 10 the company of Gov. Longino,
whom we found to be the same genial,
pleasant. approachable gentleman that
he has ever been, in or out of office.
While wearing the honors OF chief ex-
ecutive of this grapd old Common
wealth with becoming ease, grace and
dignity, there is none of that arro-
gance and pomposity about him so Of
ten seen exhibited BY some who seek
to withdraw themselves from the peo-
pie who elevated them to the position.
We believe Gov. Longino will make
the people of Mississippi a wise, sale
and business-like executive. We took
a peep at the Legislature while there
and found Qnite a number OF vacant
seats in both houses. This leads US to
the conclusion that our State law-mak-
ing bod has gotten to be entirely too
large-top-heavy, as it were. If the
Senate we're cut down third and
the House one>half we believe that
more and better work could be accom-
plished, and at much less expense to
the taxpayers of the State. While
there are some able and industrious
members in each house, there are 9TH
ers who are nothing more than time
servers and salary drawers. They
have been in session four weeks and
the record is three bills passed, and
they were appropriation bills. This is
an o%pportuune time Tor some me mber
to immortalize himself by introducing
a resolution TO submit to the people an
amendment to the constitution provid-
ing for a reduction in the number of
Representatives in both houses. and a
meeting of the Legislature every eight
years. We desire to thank Senator
b. G. Adams and Representative Il.
w. McAfee for courtesies shown US
while in the capital city.

AKENTUCKY


-
For several days the public eye has
been directed to the Kentucky situa-
ton and much speculation has been
going on as to the final outcome OF the
9overnorship controversy. While
those who have been keeping abreast
of the exciting incidents that charac-
terize the great battle for political SUI
premacy in the "Blue Grass state,
were expecting a tragedy at any time,
they were, nevertheless, very much
shocked when On Tuesday the news
tor Goehel had been assassinaled that
morning while on his way to the capt.
tai building. Mr.. Goebel, in company
with a couple of his friends, was walk
ing along the streets when a rifle shot
was heard and tne Senator reeled and
fell TO the pavement, seriously if not
fatally wounded. The shots were
thought to have come from a window
in an upper room of the Executive
oNNNOACo ny tNpihS EONFi iOi
w. S. Taylor, and a number of his Re-
publican friends, all of whom were
heavily armed. The assassin used
smokeless powder, and, notwithstand-
ing four or five shots were fired, he
could not be located.
= The attempt made on the life of Mr..
Goebel is the direct result of the policy
that has been pursued by Bradley,
Taylor and other Republican leaders,
and they are indirectly responsible for
the dastardly deed. The Legislature,
On Wednesday, declared Goebel elected
as governor. and though almost in a
dying condition he took the oath of Of
fee at 8 O'Clock that night. Fuller
particulars will be found elsewhere.
LATER.
At this hour, Friday II Il. n.y. Mr..
Goebel is better.

and highly respected citizen of jack

Tennessee but came to Mississippi
when a ere boy and has since resi-

has for nearly a half century been one

not know there was a State in the
Union which permitted marriages
without a license. But there is one at
least. In South Carolina, all that is
necessary is to gee the consent of the

ceremony, and you walk right into
married life The legislature now in

sons for thinking that wives are too

In a notice to the public published in
his paper, the Clarion-Ledger, Editor
Henry says that In the future he Will
take q decided stand on men and meas
ures. On account OF state contracts,
job orders, etc., says he, the editorial
department had not received the at
tention that it should, but now being
rid of them. he can devote more OF his
time to the work. Besides, with these
matters happily off his hands, he will.
as he says, be ''as free as "a bird" We
are glad TO see Mr.. Henry come off the
fence, whether it was a voluntary act
or caused by the top rail turning and
preclpitating him TO the ground. And
now since he is off, we hope to see him
regain the lost estate of the esteemed
Clarion-Ledger. That paper was once
a power in the state, but by reason oil
these self-same contracts and business
entanglements it has loston influence,
and we very much doubt whether its
pecuniary interests have received any
benefit therefrom. There are a few
editors in the state with the courage
of their convictions and we hope to see
the number increased. The d%emagogut
and political ~trickster can stand M
hack with bold and aggressive news
papers to show him and his drastic
measures up in the right light.
