There is no denying the fact that for
years Mississippi has been almost
ridden TO death by Office seekers and
demagogues, and it is time fer the
people TO arise in their might and
protest against further %immolation by
so many of the self-seeking politicians.
No state has eve been built up by the
politician and Office seeker. They
are Instrumental in doing incalculable
harm. Their motives and ends are
generally selfish, and we believe the
people OF the state are awaking to the
fact that they have been too long
sufferers at the hands OF such cattle,
and it remains for the press, to algreat
extent, to show up these abuses and to
see that the material interests OF the
state are ~subserved and not the interests
of a lot of Office holders and Office
seekers.

COL. j. l.. POW Err.
Mississippi's Secretary of state.

Under the title, Prominent Living
Mississippiaus," Miss Mary V. Duvai,
of This city, contributed to last Sun.
days edition OF the Commercial Appeal
an entertaining and instructive article.
There is no man iu our State who
commands more the respect and
admiration OF our people than the
venerable Secretary of State. 1t
shows the truth OF what Longfellow
puts truth fully when he says:
THE heights by great men won and kept,
We're not achieved by sudden flight.
But they, while their companions slept,
Went upwards toiling through the night"
Commencing on the lowest round of
the ladder, Col. Power climbed slowly,
and often painfully, to a place second
TO none in the regard and esteem OF
his fellow-men, as we'll as to Il high
place in the councils of the State. He
will always be remembered gratefully
for his work during the dreadful yellow
fever epidemic OF 1878. He received
and disbursed, to more than thirty
infected points, nearly 800, 900, being
Ell entrusted by the contributors with
Unlimited discretion as TO its use. He
sent TO Grenada alone, S. 800. 90. He
employed and paid physicians, dis
patched nurses to various points and
ordered supplies that could not other
wise be procured. He visited many
OF The afflicted towns personally, and
was welcomed almost AS an angel of
light by the plague smitten people.
No man has been more worlhily
honored than Col. Power, and the SEN
TINEL trusts that he will live long to
wear the hOnors so well-won.

Some of the journals of the State.
which seem prompt to seize upon any
pretext for criticism OF our Chief Ex-
ecutlve, went into many and instant
commissions last week over the alleged
report that Gov. Lopgino had written
to the authorities of the Confederate
Reunion at Memphis, asking If it would
be agreeable for the Mississippi Gov
ernor and escort to appear in the Ma
tional uniform. Much capital was
sought to be made out of this report
by people not partial to the Governor.
1t now develops, by Gov. Longino's
positive statement, that no such letter
was written by him, or by his authori-
ty, and he challenged the production
Of any such document, and all fulmina-
tlon against him on account of his al
legged desire to wear a yankee" uni
form, have come to naught. 1t occurs
TO the SENTINEL that, before public
journals seize upon sensational charges
against prominent and distinguished
Mississippians as texts for diatribes
against them, aud OF criticism and
abuse OF them, that fairness and good
faith would impel the writer's to pre-
vious investigation of the truth or "A
falsity OF the charges. But then, this
would not Arrays fit the case"
