ed, her present educational work not
even thought about, and her manu-
features only dreamed of by a few
enthusiasts, what may we not do to-
day, when all these hopes and dreams
have become living realities, and
when Mississippi deserves to rank
with the best Of her sister States?
The great trouble is that the outside
world-in which we must find u
markets-does not know all these
things in which we take such pride,
and we must bestir ourselves to see
that they Learn them. And that they
learn them in such a manner as will
make it impossible to forget them.
There is no better place for them to
learn than at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition, and no surer way for us
to impress the lesson on them than
by having a State exhibit betting our
limItless possibilities.
Note-We heartily thank Mrs. M. A.
May Of Elwood for kindly supplying
us with the catalogue from which we
CLEANED the above facts.--K. M. P. E.
A great deal of inNarest has been
aroused this session ae' the bill pro-
posing an increase In Xae salaries Of
tie Governor and the Supseme Judges.
It was ably argued that the Judges
should each have an annual salary
of $4,000, so as enable them to
give all of thei3 time and thought
to the cases bef them, without be-
ing continually racted by thoughts
concerning theif Expense accounts and
the fear that nv would no, meet"
The opposition an increase in the
Governors salary was very decided in
the Senate, but II was pretty generally
conceded that the State should pay its
chief executive d salary sufficient for
comfortable living expe*ses and avoid
the necessity Of making the usual ap'
preparation for Euel, lights, servants,
etc. At first glance 5000 per annum
looks like a gooG deal. But living IL
high in jackson, very high and the
Governor must live in a name be
fitting the dignity Of his pos ton. His
family must make a good appearance
hisSDGchstring must hang outside ant
his table be always ready for the un
expected though always cordial,
welcomed--guest. The old building
used for an executive mansion is al
expensive place to live in. 1t take'
almost as much coal to warm n o.
the rooms as is needed to fire a loco
motive. And then the rooms are no
any too warm. To properly keep VI
the yard alone would require ever!
hour of one mans time, with none t.
spare for garden, cows or horses. Tn,
servants must be the best OF theil
kind, to properly accomplish the worl
required of them. Whenever any maj
or woman of unusual prominenc,
visits Jackson it is expected that tn
Governor will entertain him or her
And so we might lengthen the list in
definitely with hundreds Of item
small in themselves, but running to

All of these things cost money, as i
proved by the fact that nine out o
ten of our Governors have left tn,
mansion very much poorer (inan
cially) than they entered It. So W
very much wish that the salary coul'
be $4,000. But the Senate made /
$4,000 with no additional appropria
ton for servants, etc. and made tn
Supreme Judges salary $4,000 also
To the Librarian they ave an in
crease Of nearly $500, bringing her sa,
airy up to $500 a year (and she mos
, certainly earns every dollar of it,
The Attorney-G General was given a
/, assistant, at $4,000 a year (and h
; needed one, and has needed one for
long time).
