MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
NOTES OF PAST AND CURRENT EVENTS.
By J. L. POWER.


~convicts, and in the adoption Of a plan
for the final and permanent solution OF
the State convict question, by establish.
ing the ~conviets upon a splendid tract OF
fertile land under immediate State con.
troll.
The people of Mississippi, under the
auspices of the leadership of the late SEN
ator j. z. George, had the courage and
wisdom to place limitations upon the
elective franchise, and thus, by eliminat.
ing ignorance and incompetence from the
electoral body, secured to the State the
repose and tranquility and all the bless.
ings that come from good government
and a high standard Of official and public
life.
1t is thus seen how wisely and provi.
IDENTIFY all of these great interests of the
State have been guarded and promoted.
1t is strange, therefore, when all of these
admirable and comprehensive public
measures are considered, that the poor
orphans of the State should have been
left entirely out of view.
A practical measure of relief in this di.
~rection would be for the State to aid
these orphan asylums, at present precari'
ously maintained by private donations, by
annual per capita appropriations based on
the number of children maintained in
each asylum.
The appropriations for the Vicksburs
and Natchez hospitals are made upon the
condition that Natchez and Vicksburg
and the boards of supervisors of Adams
and Warren counties will contribute a
certain sum annually to the support oil
these hospitals. In this manner the State
would be saved the expense of establish
ing and maintaining a general State or
phan asylum. The private charity that
has been the exclusive support of these
asylums would then be aided by the
State appropriations, and the mainten-
ance OF these asylums would be placed on
a definite and assured basis.
There are no constitutional difficulties
in the way of such a measure. With all
the unusual limitations on the powers OF
the Legislature contained in the present
constitution, there is nothing in that in
strument that forbids the appropriation
of public funds to charitable purposes OF
uses. Frank Johnston.

In addition to the State appropriations,
the counties and separate school districts
collect annually in taxes an aggregate sum
of about 100000, which is used in sup
port of the public schools.
1t is thus sean that there is expend-
ed from the public funds more than two
millions OF dollars annually in the sup
port OF these various humane, charitable
and educational institutions. But no.
where in these extensive schemes Of pub.
lie charity and humanity is there any
provision for the poor orphan children OF
the State.
As long as a child has a father, or
mother, or guardian, to maintain it, the
State will give it a common school edu-
cation, covering a period from the age Of
s to 81 years. The youth of the State
who can maintain themselves, are given
a free course at an agricultural and me-
chanical college, and finished off by a
course at the State University.
But the moment that a child is left a
penniless orphan there are 10 more free
school facilities, and the only refuge of
the little one is one of the private orphan
asylums in the State, supported by pri-
vate charitable donations, a source of in
Collie Via II baAl psho Rtt1hAi Jus
When death and poverty come to, the
children of the State they simply drop
out the whole scheme of public education,
So far as the State is concerned they are
left TO the cold charities Of the world, to
grow UP in ignorance and vice.
This brings us face to face with the
question why the poor orphan children OF
the State, doubly bereft and doubly un.
fortunate in being orphans and in power
ty, have lost their right to be educated
by the State, and brought up as good mer
and women, and as intelligent and
worthy citizens. 1t would be difficult in
deed to find an answer to this question
If it is the duty of the Site to educate
the children of opulent and well-to-dc
parents, the obligation is far stronger t.
educate the penniless orphan children o
the Commonwealth. If there is a mora
obligation on the part of the government
to support the adult poor, the duty il
doubly strong to feed and clothe the des
titute orphans.
The subject has never been publicly dis
cussed or considered in the State. 1t ha
Eever received the attention of the Leg
isla ture, while every other interest in tn
State that appeals to the sentiments o
charity and humanity has been most gen
erously and carefully provided for.
Mississippi has the distinction OF havinI
led the way for all the other Southerl
States in the humane work of abolishin'
the system of convict leasing for Stat
