1t is said that the temper OF Hon.
Ferdinand w. Peek, Commissioner to
the Paris Exposition, has suffered Sc
verely- This is catastrophe, but not
strange. Hon. Ferdinand w. is reputed
TO have spent $l,0O0O00 while taking the
prccaution to accumulate but $4,000 OF
receipts TO show TO his countrymcn for

inquisitive, too. or course Mr.. Peck is
the victim OF pars.monious persecution.

The postponement of the election of
delegates TO the Constitutional Conven-
ton until such time as 1t can receive
the undivided attention OF our people,
will eliminate all chances of "toading,"
and will give both parties opportunity
to act deliberately and to name their
best men. While the Democrats are
certain. under the circumstances, to
have large majority in the convention,
it is to be hoped that the Republicans
will improve the opportunity for DELHI
crate action. that postponement will af-
ford. to name men who will not consti-
tute themselves rantankerous parti-
san minority, but who will promote Il
ncn-partisan consideration of every
question that shall come fore the con-
vcntion. AS little partisanship, and as
much craftsmanship as possible, is
wanted in the convention, and delay
will, we are inclined to think, serve this
end.
Under a sense OF his responsibility to
the whole people. Governor Tyler was
doubtless influenced by these considera-
items in determining to keep the issues
involved in Constitutional revision free
from the distractions of national poll
tics, and to give all men, OF all parties,
ample time to act deliberately in naming
the men who shall undertake this most
important work.
Governor Tyler has done well.

 PRESENTED TOlT.
coMMENDs THE OFFICERS
Make Appropriations for County Work-Plum Bayou Tax
 Killed.

The lowing court of Jefferson county, after being in session a greater part of Monday, voted down the petition presented to it asking that the present five mill tax be reduced 10 two and one-halt mills for general purposes. The voting was done late Monday afternoon and resulted in 29 voting against and g for the 23 mill tax. There were 38 justices in attendance, ali voting.
 The afternoon session of the court was one of great interest and enthu- siasm. Hon. John M. Taylor, as local attorney for the Cotton Belt railway, and Mr. E. D. Russell, as secretary Of the Commercial League, addressed the court advocating a reduction of the tax. Gen. H. King White also delivered aG able aud lengthy speech to the J. P. urging that the tax remain as it is-fve mllIs. All the gentlemen made lasting impressions on their hearers aud their arguments were filed with convincing points. The levy fax is one that eau be argued at length both pro aud con and that fact was thoroughly shown at the meeting Monday
 Tine decision Of the levying court in not reducing the tax is in many instances received with satisfaction, but there are some kicks being made, If the leYying court believed that the county could not exist on cash basis with the 2I mill tax, and had investigated the matter, then they e,iustided in voting against it.
 The court levied l mill tax for pay ment Of railroad bonds and a 1 mill tax for interest on all railroad bonds
 Tbe court then went to wotk on appropriations and then adjourned uatil this Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock.
 The Ievying court reconvened at the appointed hour this Tuesday ] morning,

About McLaurin Porto Rico Vote.

After calling especial attention to the
newspapers failed to acknowledge tho
bill, the Manning Times goes on to say:
'What we started to show, however,
was the systematic efforts on the part Of
McLanrin'S enemies to conceal what he
does do that will meet with the peoples
into misrepresentation such acts as they
think will be disapprovcd Of. The Record
shows McIaurin to have voted ON every
party measure with his party, and it also
shows that he has had the manlincss to
be independent Of all cliqucs or political
clans. This fight on McLaurn now
would have been made on Senator Till
man; but those opposed to Tillman know
they stand no more chance to defeat him
than does Il cat in an oil tank without
claws; SO they begin far ahead blazing
the way to McIaurin'S defeat. But two
years is long way of, and the conspira.
tors may be striking at the base of q tree
which will come down on themselves
with destructive fOrcc.'
We do not think The Times has any
occasion to worry. That saying OF Lin
coins to the effect that 'you can fool all
the people some Of the time and some Of
The people all the time; but you can't
fool all the people all the time" was
great. Ii was true then and it is true
now The people have plenty Of time i'm
which to adjudcatc the case of News
papers VS.. McIaurin, and it is quite
probable that their verdict, when it is
rcndc"cd, will be pretty nearly right
