THE NlP TAX.

The Meridian News is weary OF
paying the stamp tax, and complains
in this wise:
The continuation Of the stamp tax
long after there is any need for the
revenue derived from it is a kind OF
tax gathering that the people don't
want and from which congress should
promptly grant relief. Nobody COM
planned OF the imposition OF this
nuisance and burden as long as the
money was needed to maintain the
dignity and honor of our country, but
now. that the derived there
from create a surplus which copgre IS
must devise a means to spend, it be-
comes an invitation to extravaganza
as we'll as an unjustiiable extortion
and great Inconvenience.
Stamp taxes of every kind are I'M
popular in this country. We remember
that they we're the first serious griev-
ance that the colonies had against
Great Britain, and induced the quarrel
which brought on the revolutionary
war. The federal government has had
recourse to them only when an EFFICIENCY
arose demanding larger revenue, and,
with a few exceptions, they have been
abolished as soon as the necessity
disappeared. 1t is high time now &c
abolish at least these stamp taxes; On
checks, promissory notes, kilograms,
express receipts, deeds and Insurance.
policies.
I'm some cases they are onerous; In
all cases unnecessary. and to mos
people a nuisance"
The stamp tax as now administered
and collected Is perhaps the fairest
method of raising revenue that could
be devised, and 10 the majority o.
instances those best able TO do sc
contribute the greater share. But any
tax not absolutely necessary is onerous
but 1t must be remembered that a big
surplus in the treasury is a fine
advertisement for the Rel u blicar
campaign managers.

A LOFTY VIEW.

-
At the Confederate Memorial ex~
~ercises in Vicksburg last week, Hon. L.
c. Catchings delivered a magnificent
grafton, which was forceful, high
minded and m~agnanimous. In closing
he spoke of Justice to the North" and
his sentiments are c%oncurred in by all
the chivalrous and brave soldiers who
fought for what they believed to be
right. 1t Is the best blood and the best
brain OF the leaders North ana South
who are first to accord, each to his
opponent, that there was honor and
valor, principle and patriotism along
both sides OF every firing line. The
following words of General Catchlngs
are worthy of deep thought. He said:
''Iu conclusion, let me remind you
that while conteuding for the purity
OF the motives which governed our
efforts to separate ourselves from the
Union In 1861, WI must not fail to
concede TO those who differed from US
the same loyal and elevated purpose
which controlled our action.
ION public as we'll as private ques-
lions men have always differed, and
always will differ. 1t was a sad mis-.
fortune that the controversies between
the two sections were such they could
not be settled by peaceful methods
Like ourselves, our brethren of the
North gave abundant evidence OF the
sincerity Of their convictions by tie
boundless expenditure of blood and
treasure which they made t. save the
Union. We harb0r against them nc
feeling OF animosity or resentment
The defeat which came to us was that
Of brave men, by brave men, and for
it we reproach neither ourselves moi
them. And now that it is all over ]
am sure that none OF us would have II
otherwise.
1.-THE South. is far happier, and will,
be far greater, than 1t could have beer
if il had succeeded in separating Its
fortunes from those of the Northern
States. Aside from the fact that the
spirit OF amity now ditfuses its generous
influence over the whole land, the
Union greatly lessons the burdens o.
government, and enlarges the opportu
mites for the peaceful pursuits Of pri'
vate life. The flag OF the nation i.
ours once more we take our place under
its starry folds, and whether for weaI
or woe, will follow and uphold it Il
the end. Let us now, standing by the
graves OF our sainted dead, pledge to
these reunited states the sam
passionate devotion which the illus
triou5 statesmen Of the South, in the
early days, gave with unstinted
measure to this Republic as it wa,
established by the fathers"

and has the knack of hitting people in
the places where they are weak. The
theme OF his discourse on Sunday
night was Malice" and il the burning
words which fell from his lips were
taken home to the hearts OF men and
women and acted upon the atmosphere
OF our social and business life would be
incomparably purer.
He admonished the people to forgive
their enemies, lay aside the enemities,
e~ngendered by church, neighborhood,
family and business quarrels. Settle!

words. Meet your enemy half way,

his hand in yours and ask that bygones

From the religious standpoint the
argument was that those carrying In
their hearts hatred and malice toward
their fellow men cannot expect for
giveness at the hands OF the Almighty
Father of US all. This, according to
scripLural teaching is true. But a
consideration almost as important Is
that we owe it to ourselves and those
around US to put away malice and ha>

threat for that prominent man, where

dren are not on speaking terms with
the other half, Is a town marked by
eek of progress, with ar unhappy peo>
pie, a clouded and unsatisfactory social
life, and with an atmosphere which re-
pels rather than invites.
1t is a good thing to have old scores
wiped away.It is a terrible thing to meet
your n~eighbor on the street and have
him pass with averted head and hatred
in his eye. You and he would both sleep
sounder tonight did you but know that
this old trouble was buried forever,
and as the remembrance of the warm
handclasp which regnited you once
more, tingled and burned in your blood,
a peace which passith understanding,
would come to your soul.
Grenada is not without its TRIES

them. Let's all be friendly friends and
neighborly neighbors, and work to-
gether to Il common end and purpose.
