A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

The following suggestion by the
Clarion Ledger has been extensively
copied and approved by the State
press
Now that the State is on the eve of
making large appropriations for need
ed improvements and enterprises that
will involve an extra burden, in addi-
tion to the regular appropriations, it
might he timely for the Legislature,
before these aspirations are made. to
look into the question of settling the
large railroad tax suits, and the real
ization by compromise, if that be pos
sible, of ready cash towards meeting
these first outlays without taking so
much directly from the people by tax
alton. 1t may be that something can
be done in this direction which would
not only put the State in ready finan-
cial condition TO meet the first outlays
on the heavy improvements and build
ings necessary. but would tend to
bring about the era of good feeling so
much emphasized in the admirable
address of Gov. Longino.
The suggestion of the Clarion
Ledger is worthy of the earnest con-
sideration of the Legislature and peo-
pie Of the State. As the Brandon
News puts it, compromise and conces-
sion are infrequently far better than
litigation. Attorneys fees eat big
holes in recoveries. \ reasonable sum
to end litigation is often better than a
prolonged lawsuit where loss of all is
involved

LIFE.

We march down the aisleS of time;
Silently, swiftly, one by one
Musical murmur and mournful moan,
Plaintiye pleading and tender tone,
Blend in living rhyme.
Hope and happiness. faith and fame,
All are swept along
Into future misty and gray.
People with phantoms grim and gray,
Some with curse and some with song
Lives that were full of happiness,
Others that teemed with sin;
Shadowy phantoms of bygone days
On a suffering soul turn full their gaze.
And We long for the Might have been"
But the longing is vain, for the past is dead,
And passing present is all We know.
Futurity's riddle we may not read,
But the pains of the past with its lust and
greed
Should tell us the way to go.
Prince and pauper are peers In death,
Their ashes are blown where their feet
once trod.
Out of the past with its veal and woe
Into the future OF doubt We go.
Christian and pagan to face one God.

CONGRESSMAN MLlIN.

Representative McLain," says the
NatcheZ Bulletin. has given further
evidence that he is as good a congress
man as Mississippi has had. We do
not believe it untruthful to say he is
the best congressman, and an excellent
pattern for representatives from other
States. His thought and effort are
applied to the furtherance of practical
measures for the good of his people.
He has introduced two important
measures in the house. The first ap-
propriates 81, 100000 for dredging a
channel twenty three feet deep at low
tide, from Ship Island harbor to
Biloxi, with anchorage basin in the
harbor. The second appropriates
S1,300000 for similar dredging from
Ship Island harbor to Gulfport. This
work, if carried through, will'put Mis-
sissippi in communication direct with
foreign markets, and will enable her
to ship products to foreign lands or,
rather, enable her to ship her main
staple over the seas"
The compliment paid in the above to
Congressman McLain by the Bulletin
is none too great. Mr.. McLain is a
man of great energy, ruggedly honest
and faithful in the discharge of public
duty, and possesses a courage and
discrimination n whom ba un6art alxaS a
thing that know no such word as fail.
Moreover, he is man with "a big brain
and will grow in any position he fills.

men as Frank McLain in the halls of

Lynching and LawIeSSneSs

A writer in the Yazoo Sentinel un-
der the above head propounds the fol
lowing questions which would puzzle
any one with a conscience to answer on
the side of the mob:
Every man in his senses foresaw the
result. Law defended the Gamble
home, but law was broken. Law de-
Tended Joe Lefore, but law was
broken. Are Leake's women now the
safer because he died by mans ven
geance instead of Gods only? Were
law now taking its course with him.
who would since have been threatened
with death by men as bad as he? What
families, as innocent as the CANDLES,
would since have been in agony lest
evil should befall the husband and
father? Had he been held for trial no
jury would have failed to convict; and
the wretch would soon fall into the
terrible hands of God. who knows how
hot to heat the fires of vengeance. The
murderer's blood would be upon his
own head and no others in the judg-
ment. One murderer would soon be
dead and there would not be hundreds
alive.
Ed. Grandson died by Gods ven
geance. and not by mans. Who is any
the worse for Gods handling him?
Who is now in danger for Grandison's
crime IS he not as safely out of the
way as Joe LeflOre? ? Law has been
avenged, justice done, crime punished: E:
and lazoo has not felt the terror that
demoralized Leake. There is no sui
lenness among the negroes: for we'll
they know that he deserved his fate.
1t was negro that gave him into the
hands of law
This writer further says that "some
well meaning men may be deluded into
taking part i'll IA lynching, but all ill
meaning men are sure to join" Here
in is the worst, the deadly danger, of
lynching. 1t takes the restraint of
fear of the laws punishment from the
bad and cowardly instinct of bad men.
They feel that they can give them rein
both without personal risk. and with
disguise of the fact that they are en-
ioying bloodshedding with impunity.
This is why bad and reckless men, "a
community's hoodlums, always flock to
a lynching. which always fixes their in
fluence upon Il community so that it is
never sha ken off without blood atone
ment.
Anything more debasing, dangerous
and demOralizing, than the sway of
mob spirit it is impossible to conceive
1t is one of the most deplorable, if not
the most Ominous, facts of the dual
race condition; that it provides victims
for the mob, the taking of whose lives
is not looked upon by the unthinking
with the full repugnance that is due
the crime of murder This is why the
South is cursed by the mob, and the
mob apOlogists; were the victims white
instead of black there would not be a
single paper in the State found excus-
ing and palliating the deadly lynching
sin. But for this semi Indifference be-
cause of the color of the mob subjects,
there would be no hesitancy in stamp
ing out the curse through any lawful
measure proposed. But the curse will
none the less surely come home to

THE CONFEDERATE soLpLER.

They are as glad to see each other
as if they we're twin brothers. is what
young man said the other day when
he saw two old battle SCARED soldiers
meet and grasp each other by the
hand while their eyes were dim with
tears. The young mans remark set
us to thinking along certain lines. as
we saw the two old heroes of thirty
five years ago walk slowly away with
their hands upon each others shoul-
ders. while it seemed that their very
hearts throbbed in sympathy for one
another. Ii is quite natural now for
the old soldier to long for congenial
spirits. and in no one else does he find
sympathy as he does with an old com
rade who fought under the same ban
ner with him and marched to the tap
of the same drum during the days of
their young manhood. These gray
haired veterans are bound together by
an iron-hand of fellowship. forged in
sacrifice and blood shed, which they
courageously endured for a principle
which they conscientiously believed to
be right in the sight of God and men.
But while they were forced to lay
down their arms, no true Confederate
soldier has ever yet laid down his
infi 70
soldier realizes that majority of those
who fought side by side with him from
81 to 90 have answered to roll call on
the other side of the dark river. He
often thinks of the valor of his absent
comrades who fell at his side, whose
bones have long since bleached on
there we still find an aged mother who
weens over the absence of her dear
boy, brave aud true. who preferred to
lay down his young life rather than a
principle.
In his speech in Atlanta last year,
Mr.. Mckinley made favorable mention
Vi cdT1Ip LOT tlt graves Vi our ldlltu
heroes. May God bless him for it. No
true Confederate soldier wants a pen
sion from the government, but the
State is endeavoring to help the help
less ones here and there with pittance
of pension, which is all we'll enough
but we believe the State can do some
thing for the old veteran which would
please him far more than anything
done for him in the way of a pension
and that is to pay his way to one grand
national reunion that he may look into
the face of his surviving comrades once
more before he dies This would be
worth more to him than all the good
things that may be said of him when he
dies. 1t is better to put a bouquet to a
mans nose while he is living rather than
wait till he is dead. We believe that
the railroad companies would share in
this good work to the extent of giving
them half fare, if the State would foot
up the balance. Will not our beloved
Mississippi lead in the matter?

Bin to Check Marriages.

DENVER, Colo, Feb. l. Governor
Thomas is giving some attention to a
bill that will, if passed, place the
granting of marriage licenses in the
hands of board of medical examiners.
The Governor looks favorably upon
the measure, which was prepared by a
personal friend, and is expected to
embody its salient points in his mes
sage to the Assembly. In brief, the
bill provides for board of medical
examiners in each county to consist of
three physicians, no two to come of
the same school, and where possible
the board is to have one or more
female members. The board shall
have power to examine all persons
seeking to marry, and refuse permis-
sion to all who are not mentally and
physically equipped to enter the mar
riage state.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The Senate killei the Rowan amend
ment. y
Senate bill No. 10, for the erection
of a new State capitol, passed Thurs
day by a vote of % to II. The bill
originally provided for s1,0O0,0O0 to be
spent i'm the building. 1t was amended
so as to make that amount cover furni-
ture and fixtures. The penitentiary
site is named as the location of the
new capitol. The commission is to
consist of the governor, who shall be
ex-officio president of the commission,
attorney general and one commissioner
to be appointed by the governor, and
one commissioner each to be nomina-
ted by the house and senate and ap-
pointed by the governor, and vacancies
on the commission are to be filled by
appointment of the governor. The
commissioners are each to give a
$1,000 bond, and the bill was amended
so that no member of either branch of
the legislature should be eligible as
commissioner.
Senator Noel has introduced bill
to provide for the nomination and
election of judges and chancellors and
for filling vacancies, which was re-
ferred to the senate committee on
Judiciary. 1t is an open secret that
several of the circuit judges and chan
cellors. since the legislature has made
the Noel amendment part of the con
stitution, hold that every circuit Judge
and chancellor in Mississippi is functus
officio.
On Friday the Senate passed the
George bill by a handsome majority.
This is the bill that provides for filling
vacancies in certain offices by election
in certain cases and cuts off very
large and juicy portion of the execu-
tive patronage. 1t passed the Senate
some time ago and after hot fight
was again referred to the judiciary
committee. The bill provides that
where the uneXpired term of State
office in which vacancy occurs is
over fifteen months an election shall
be called to fill the vacancy: if a
district office. the unexpired term
must be over one year in order to
render an election necessary and take
the appointment from the Governor:
if county, district or municipal
office, the unexpired term must be six
months for an election to be called.
The bill now goes over to the House.
and if that body passes it the Execu-
tive will be relieved of a large part of
the burden of small patronage. as far
as the Legislature can do it.
The House killed the Sharkey bill
providing for a penitentiary reforma-
tory for young convicts.
