Coy. Scoiield has issued proclama
tion designating Friday, May 4, rs Arhor
and Bird day. 1t is as follows
by legislative enactment the Governor
Is authorized to set apart one day in the
year to be known as Arbor and Bird day.
THE benehcent results of this enact
ment are everywhere apparent. Not only
are the school grounds and public parks
of the State being made attf active by
tree-planting and Il deep interest in the
preservation of our song birds being
awakened among the young. but there is
coming to be among the people of the
State GENERALLY a clearer understanding
of the economic value of forest and bird
preservation.
I'm order that this interest in the for
ests and birds may be maintained, l.,
Edward Scofield Governor of Wisconsin,
BY the authority vested in me by the
Legislature, do hereby sci apart and des-
ignate Frday, May 4, 1900, to be Arbor
and BIRD day.
1T is highly desirable hat all the pub
lie schools and the places of learning gem
orally throughout the State do, upon that
day, hold appropriate exercises, TO the
end that tho young may grow into an in
telligent appreciation OF those attractions
with which nature has endowed our
State. and come to discern the close re-
lationship between beauty and usefulness.
let an effort be made on that day to add
In some degree to the attractiveuess of
all school grounds and public parks, and

Secretary of State Froehlich has re-
eeived many letters of inquiry as TO the
legal construction or the portion of the
new caucus law, section Q of chapter 34l,
which relates TO the canvass and return
of votes in cauvuSes, and States that 'the
person receiving Il majority of votes shall
be legally elected as such delegate to rep
resent such caucus district" Ii provides
further that ''in cass of nomination of
candidates for office the nams of the can
didate receiving majority OF I'll the
votes shall be dc, Jared the nominee os
the caucus" strict construction Of
this statute would seem TO mean that,
unless delegates or candidates at a eau
rgs received n majority, there would be
no election. Secretary of State Froeh-
lich referred the question to the Attor-
ney General, and he desires to call the
attention of the chairmen and officers of
all political parties to the construction
placed upon the law by the Attorney
General, in order that there may be no
misunderstanding or confusion regarding
the section, The Attorney General says
III reply to Mr. Froehlich's inquiry
I'VE agree with you that very likely
confusion may arise from the use Of the
word majority in this section, and that
| ii is very probable shat no candidates
for delegates win receive majority of
all votes cast, and especially in case there
are several delegates to he elected from
the same precinct. 1t is evident that this
section is very carelessly drawn and that
under strict construction, in many cases
there would be a failure TO elect from a
precinct by reason of some Or all of
them not having majority vote. In
view of this fact and that the purpose of
the statute shall not be defeated, we
think that, if the names OF the delegates
receiving the highest number OF votes, al
though such may not be a majority of
all the votes cast, are certified with the
vote of the several candidates to the
county committee, and such delegates
having the highest number OF les are
seated in the convention, no objection
could be nnde."

VOLUNTARY RETIREMENT.

The old and homely saying as
to office holders that few die and
none resign,i is as true as it is trite,
but the number who decline Il re-
election is even fewer still, yet it
seems that we are actually to have
two instances of the kind in the
State of Mississippi. General
Thomas c. Catchings, of the
Vicksburg district, has absolute
| ly declined to be again candidate
for Congress, and Hon. John AL
len, of the first district, has made
similar declaration. 1t is not
improbable that both would have
been reelected had they entered
the list again this year, SO that
their retirement would seem to be
practically voluntary. They have
evidently become surfeited with
the hOnOrs and emOluments of Of
fee holding, and are now willing
to reIlnquish the feshpots to some
tohers who have long been await
ing the opportunity of enjoying
them, and shining in the halls of
congress. That both will be miss
ed from their respective seats
goes without the saying, but each
for reason different from the
other; General Catchings, because
he was one of the body, ,and Mr.. AL
len because Of his humor and al
legged wit. The first named will
devote himself to the practice of
law, where great success awaits
him, while the latter will take to
the lecture platform, which will
offer him a lucrative and congo
nial field.
That both these gentlemen
should retire from Congress at the
same time is quite a coincidence in
several ways. Both entered Con-
gress at the same time, the begin
ming Of the 49th, and have served
continuously for fourteen years.
They are both the same age-53
years-and both are natives of
Mississippi. They are both attor-
neys-at-laW, and neither will re-
tire a rich man. Upon many Of
public questions their views were
antipodal, but they have been
warm friends, their Democracy
has never been challenged, though
General Catchings has adhered
more closely to- the faith and
teachings Of the school than has
his colleague. AIessrs. Cutchings
and Allen have sihcere friends in
their respective 3 districts who
viii deeply regret their retirement
which regret will doubtless have
the effect of spurriag them up to
the election of gentlemen who
will prove worthy successors to
them. The outcomeaof the cleo
ton in the two districts will he
watched with much intefkst.-Bi-

Expensive.

"A capitol that will now cost million dollars
could have been built three years $50 for s''o,-
U0"-Picayune's Jackson Bureau.
Therefore, Governor McLaurIn's VETO or the
new capitol bill, three years ago, has caused
loss of s250000 to the State. And :1e extra ses-
sion which the Governor called 10 oa.la a new
capitol, cost the State si1out. This s. s.t, ,cy
reason Of the veto was also absolutely wasted
Pretty expensive Governor, was Ao aots-Ficks-
burg Post.
Exactly so. But had the Capt.
tol been built three years ago 1T
would have been placed on the
old Capitol site, thereby neceSsl-
tating the renting of Offices for
every one OF State officials during
the entire process of tearng down
the old rookefy, as we'll as
that of erecting the new capitol.
Besides the possibility Of having
to rent another place for holding
at least one session of the Legiaia-
ture. Whereas under the present
arrangement the State need not
rent one solitary office or building
until the completion OF the new
Capitol. As TO the saving two
hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, it was false ccOn0ucy ever
to think Of building Capitol for
less than one million dollars.
Fortunately our legislators saw
fit at this session of the Lcgisla-
ture to appropriate an amount
commensurate with the dignity OF
the State. 1t was great misfor-
tune three years ago that the Gov
ernor's and the Legislatures fam
lily quarrel should postpone the
erection of a Capitol for an indie
finite period, but it must be borne
in mind that when the Governor
convened the Legislature in extra
session in 1897, it was not for tnc
purpose of making an appropria-
tion fol a new Capitol, but to adj
Just the finances of the State.
Then why credit the forty thons-
and dollars expenditure to the
Capitol question alone? 1t must
be admitted, however, that if the
State is loser to the tune of two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
on one item, and forty thousand
on neutrality-suspicious. capable of
various interpretationS-it is the
gamer by big odds in the selection
of site, as it would have been an
objectionable mistake to erect an
new Capitol where the old one now
Stands. Therefore we claim that
when the subject is reduced to a
question of loss and gam, the
advantage remains in favor Of the
latter. J. 4. MAUFFEAT.

A TRUE MARRIAGES. TIE CROWN
OF LIFE.
Bv Edwin Markham, OF The Man With tn
Hoe" fame, in n. \. Journal.

BY Edwin Markham, Of The Man With The
Hoe" fame, in n. !. Journal.
Is marriage the end and aim of
existence or just side issue? n
true marriage - one not bas-
ed on selfish or worldly con-
siderations - is the crown of
life. No man is complete in him
self; no woman is complete IN
herself. But what one sex lacks
the other supplies. Man by ma
ture tends to ordering. arrange
ment. decision. Man is lntellec-
tual, woman is affectional. He Is
wisdom. she is affectional.
Man in general is aggressive
like the sword of truth; woman IS
Welding like the wreath of love.
We find, too. that man in his body
his occupation hard, rough quail,
tv. whereas woman is soft and
gentle, clad in tenderness and
beauty. So the sexes are dltfe-
rent, each dignifed in its own way
and in their orderly union the
world sees an event of the highest
significance and soImenity.
Another question that am ask
ed is: Is professional success a
bar to happy marriages? Does
the author, the artist, the actor
fail to be happy after he has
succeeded in what the world
calls success, with his early
married belpmate? | would
say yes, it often happens that
happiness fades away in such case.
There are perhaps several causes
for this. One is the fact that a
couple frequently begins life on
the same intellectual footing. For
time they are companions. But
the husband goes on increasing in
knowledge, and at last there is an
intellectual gulf between the two.
And am asked: Will such a
thing as the petty tyrannies of a
woman really be enough to pre-
vent a man of any genius from
achieving success?
Yes, sometimes - frequently,
perhaps. The petty tyrannies of
some women are like the assaults
of an army of mosquitoes. Each
one seems insignificant, yet it
holds our attention. If we were
called to face a lion we could do
it and have done with it. But
each killed mosquito only makes
way for an armed and waiting
substitute.
The petty tyrannies oi : 80
man would be likely to destroy
that noble calm i'm which alone
the soul can DO creative work.

The Paris Exposition.

The great Paris Exposition is
now open and in full blast. 1t is
planned on Vaster scale than
any previous one, with the SIN
gle exception of the Columbian
Exposition. At first American
visitors are likely to be somewhat
confused unless they are wise
enough to supply themselves with
the special map Commission Peek
has had prepared Of the or ioca-
ti0ns of the American exhibits.
The American, however, will nota,
at some previous fairs, have ANY
occasion to blush for the exhibit
his country makes at Paris to-day.
With the exception Of Fraaoe
itself we have the greatest u8m-
Der of exhibits, numbering nearly
