cy in the approaching Congress
sionaI elections, former Grover
Cleveland said:
1t seems to me that If the De-
mocracy is really in earnest it can
not fail largely to increase it's re-
presentation in the next Congress,
but in order to do so, / think there
must be constant and stalwart
|iDsistence upon the things which
are recognized by all to be true
Democratic doctrine. OF course,
by far the mostimportant of these
is to be tariff reform. OF this is
sue | am satisfied that tho Demo-
cracy is face to face with great
opportunity. All OF the signs Of
the times point to q recognition,
far beyond all party lines of the
benefits which would accrue to
the people by q readjustment of
the tariff, and it would be worse
than folly for the party under the
stress of any temptation or yield
ing to any allurement to permit
| this to be subordinated to or over
Swallowed by any other issue.
Restfulness Among Republicans.
"The present restfulness in Re-
publican circles on this subject,
often amounting to protests A.
painst Republican protective the
ofies, should warn the Democra-
cy of an impending danger. ]
mean by this, the possibility that
our opponents may crowd us from
our position on this subject if we
allow them to do SO by our luke
warmness and Indifference to oc-
cupy our ground, just as we per-
mitted them to crowd us from the
ground that belonged to us on the
question of sound money. ] am
very much pleased with the deliv-
erance of the New York dcmocra-
cy on the tariff issue, aud it was
fit and proper that the Empire
State should sound the right note.
1t is my clear convictions that the
best assurance of success for the
Democracy in the next National
campaign will be found in sin
cere and unremitting insistence
upon It's oldti doctrine of fair
and beneficent tariff feadjustment.
This insistence should be from
now on. 1t need hardly be said
that success will depend upon the
presentation of tariff doctrine not
only recognized as truly Demo-
cratic by those who may be term
ed veterans of the party, but also
commencing itself to the hosts of
the younger men of cur land.
Thousands of these await the OPP
portunity to espouse a cause which
must appeal to disinterested love
of country and which is based
upon thoughtful regard of all oul
people and the safety of the insti-
tutions under which we live. Tc
these young men no hope is offer.

triotic aspirations except through
the conscientious endeavors of the

Carthage. Miss, Oct. II, 1902.
\ Editor of Echo, Bay st. Louis,
hIiss. Dear Sir:-Absence from
Nome and engrossing work in
h,her channels cause me 10 over
|look the three important amend
|n,epts to the State Constitution
at the latesession of the
4 legislature, aud which are to be
to the voters for ratifi-
eatiop or rejection on Nov. 4th.
To my surprise and great regret
kbe papers of Mississippi as a rule
|failed to discuss these amend
bpeuts, and the voters / feel per-
suaded are mostly in ignorance of
tbe nature of the proposed
Changes.
The shortness Of the period to
Me election and the great impor-
|tance of these changes to the In
terests of our commonwealth and
bts people will doubtless offer you
j satisfactory explanation not only
pf my anxiety to see these amend
ments engrafted upon our organic
law, but also of my seeming i'm
pertinence in forwarding TO you
sIips of an article on the subject
which will appear in the Cartha-
glnan.
Trusting that you will lend your
valuable cooperation and active
bid to securing the adoption of
the proposed amendments, / ain
Your fraternally,
l.. M. GARRETT.

e<'o'te '"'N h"u uti tic btHtllbS OF
railway transportation. Our State
papers have for some months past
been urgent in their demands for
good roads," the Carthaglnian
now raises the cry for railroads. /"
That the gods help those who help
themselves was never truer than
It is today. Those who build rail-
ways do SO with less hesitation
when the people along the propos-
ed line take stock In the enterprise.
LealSe county has had an exper-
ience which should have taught
us a lesson. Twenty years or so
ago Gen. John B. Gordon had
the money and the wish to build
q road through our territory. At
his instance Mr.. 81. G. McCahe
came to our county Co ask the
county TO take stock in the road.
Public sentiment was so adyersed
to this that the proposition was
withdrawn and the road was new
er built. We would have made an
absolute donation of $3.50, 900 900
TO that enterprise than to have
let It pass us by as it did.
Another thing: Under the pre-
sent plan of consolidating the
great railway systems competition
in freight rates is fast disappear.
ing, 1T may in the near future
become necessary for the cities,
the counties aud the towns to pro-
vide competition by themselves
building and operating lines of
railway. We are now prohibited
from doing this, but the proposed
amendments would remove the
shackles.
The third and last amendment
provides for regular session of
the Legislature every two years,
instead Of one regular session
every four years and a special ses-
sion each second wear after tha
regular session,as is now the case.
The main objection to the present
law is, that it clothes the chief ex-
ecutlve with too much power.
The Legislature at a special scs-
sion cannot consider or act upon
any measure, whatever in the judg-
ment of the members its Import.
ance may be, unless the governor
in his message shall direct them so
TO do. While he may not abuse
this power, the fact remains that
it places him in position to sup
press legislation that might be
needed, stave off investigations
that might be unwelcome to him
self though necessary to the well
fare of the State, and furnishes
him with a leverage which, if the
occupant of the gubernatoriaI
chair should chance to be cor
rupt man, will enable him TO ad.
vance his own personal ambition
to the detriment of the common
wealth and its people.
No such power should be lodg.
ed in the hand of any one man,
and this amendment like the Other
two, should be promptly ratified
by the voters on November 4th.

n AT the last session of the Legls-
Nature both houses Of that body
adopted resolutions proposing
Ethree several amendments to the
State constitution. In our judg-
&ment the merits of these proposed
amendments should co III m en- d
&them TO the voters at the coming
election and insure their adoption
{by rousing majority. A brief
discussion of the matter, however,
may not be amiss, inasmuch as
some Of our readers may have Civ
en- the subject little attention; and
Eitis desirable that each voter vote
intelllgently thereon, and vote di-
rectly for or against each amend
ment, to the end that the true
sense Of the people shall be deter
mined by the result of the election
4 One of these amendments relates
to the method by which our orga-
mic law may be alterated, changed
Or amended. Under the presented
constitution (section 273) when
an amendment to the constitution
IS proposed and submitted to the
ballot box for ratification or rejec-
ton. every ballot which is not
marked either for or against the
amendment is counted as having
been polled against it. An ms
lance of how the present constitu-
llon works in this regard was fur
nlshcd when at the last State elec-
tlon the proposed amendment
providing for the election of judges
received an overwhelming majori-
" OF the ballots of the voters who
voted directly thereon: yet as
every ballot which ignored the
amendment by not being mark
ed either for or against the
amendment, it was declared by the
supreme court that such amend
ment was rejected. Now it looks
tnfle hard that those who, eth
ef from ignorance or indifference,
lali or refuse to vote on an amend
ment should be able by the sheer
force Of inserted to annull the ac-
llye and intelligent endeavors Of
'uelr more patriotic aad enIight-
sned fellow-citizens in such way.

A STARTLING STATEMENT.

Under the above caption the Atlanta
News prints the following editorial: one
Of the most significant ana positively start
ling OF recent utterances comes from
member OF President Roosevelts cabinet.
II Is enough TO give the honest people
OF the country the indignant jms.lams 10
think Of IL.
The authority is Waiter Wellman, OF the
Chicago Record. Herald, ablest and rairest
of Western political correspondents, ana
known 10 be particularly close to tho pres
ent administration. In a secoud dispatch
TO the Record Herald Mr.. wellmau reveals
the fac, that the cabinet officer was none
other than Secretary OF the Treasury
Shaw, and that the utterance which We
shall quote followed upon the initial as
suranee that il was all nonsense to tax
about o revision Of the tarin; that it could
not be done; that the presence In the
senate of Aldrlch, the high projection
leader, and his solid following would make
tariff revision impossible; that republicans
who are demanding revision are demanding
the impossible, and they might as well
understand It. The cabinet officer went
further and declared that 'the agitation of
tariff revision is the worst of It," aud con
fessed that one agitation was worse than
two revislons, although we can't get one
without having the other.
And then, after these comments, SUM-
GENTLY startling in themselves, &ha bolt
secretary OF the treasury of president
Roosevelt's cabinet proceeds TO open tn,
eyes of the country In the following re
