Discussing the loss to United States
miners through the decline in silver a
Boston financial and stock journal says:

tween the copper mines, producing A.

San Francisco has made a great mis-
take in persistently denying the exist
ence of the bubonic plague in that city,
instead of going to work at the begin
ming and stamping il out by energetic
action. Already five State Boards Of
Health have asked for a general CON-
ference on the subject and it vas an
nounced at the meeting of she Ameri-
q Public Health Association, held in
New Orleans last week, that during the
coming holidays a general conference
will be held to deal with the situation
in San Francisco. There is grave dam
ger that q general quarantine will be
demanded against the city.

The first step toward securing sewerage system for the city of New port was accomplished at the session of the council Monday evening, when petition from owners of real estate within the corporate limits of the city of Newport was presented, asking that the necessary steps be taken toward the making of a ocalimprove- ment district i'll said city, that sew craze system may be constructed, maintained and operated. The coun- Gil at once proceeded to take favor able action upon this request, and after suspending the rules, an ordi- nance to this effect was given final reading and unanimously adopted.
 Under such an improvement district, the laws of this state allow the issuing of bonds and the levying of taxes upon the real property included in such district. The levee around Newport was built in this way and through the business like methods in which it's affairs and finances have been managed, the bonds will be paid for in full in four years instead of five as originally thought necessary.

The legislature adjourned without
taking any favorable action on the bill
providing for a soldiers home, so in
all probability that matter is settled
for all time to come. However, the
members increased the pension appro-
priation to 5000, 900 per annum, which
is by far more acceptable to the old
soldiers themselves. This was exactly
what the VIM. r. Barksdale camp of
Grenada and the SENTINEL advocated
and we are glad to know the wish of
both was thus gratified. Since the
local camp was the first organization
in the State to raise its voice against
the proposed home scheme, it is safe
to presume that this action had much
to do with the defeat Of the scheme.

THE PEOPLE ARE THANKFUL.
The Mississippi Legislature haslAdjourned

The state legislature, which has
been in session since the first week in
January, adjourned on Wednesday af-
ternOOn, and as a CONSCIENCE there is
a general feeling of relief throughout
the state, The body seemed to have
effected its purpose-spent, or pro-
vided for its spending, all the money
now and to be in the treasury-and
there will in all probability be q sur
plus to be met by the next legislature.
The condition of the tax payers would
be better had the session not been
called. True, some meritorious meas
ures have been passed, but these could
have waited, and by the time the
next session was to have met the taste
for extravaganza might have passed
over. There were lots of able, pains
taking and conscientious members in
both houseS-men who were a credit
to their state--but they seemed to be
sadly in the minority. There was an
abundance of demagogues and politi-
cal wireworkers and they used their
power effectively. Like Vanderbilt,
the sentiment that the people be
damned, p" seemed to pervade their be-
it,n Ufhtnk of n t.aa6nrC 1f tl,o NxrNf
TINEL, about SIC millions Of dollars
appropriated by this n body! 1t is
said by those who know that this
was the most reckless and e%xtrayagant
legislature that has assembled in the
state in many years, if it has ever
been equalled. A few days since a
well known democrat Of Grenada, in
discussing the legislature, remarked
that the present one as to spending
the peoples money made the Ames
carpetbag regime highly respectable.
But there will be a day Of reckoning
and a lot of these members who think
that the people are not to be consid-
cred, except to vote a nan into Office,
will find themselves political noneni-
ties. The Clarion-Ledger OF Wednes-
day afternoon contained the following
paragraph:
within a few hours the present
session will pass into history, and as
DR.. Wren said in the house this morn
ing, it Will long be remembered as the
expanding Legislature" There is nc
doubt about that, for it has appro-
priated more money, made more in
vestigation, and expanded larger than
any of its predecessors. The appro-
priations will not be much under So
600, 600. The state tax remains six
mills and the bond issue of 81, OOO, 900
is provided for, and unless all signs
fail, a surplus will be turned into a
deficit by the time the next legisla-
ture meets"

When the Legislature met it found
about $500, 600 in the state treasury.
When it adjourns today the surplus
will have been spent and a deficit of
$3.50, 900 found in its place, and in
addition 81, 600, 900 in bonds is to be
issued. A reduction of one mill was

this failed because of the extravagant
appropriations. Truly this session OF

The penitentiary investigation oc-
cupied many days and cost the state
about So, 900, but amounted to prac-
tically nothing. While there was all
sorts of evidence of carelessness and
defective business methods it seemed
there was not enough to convict any
man of criminal acts, and SO far as
the report goes nobody is responsible
for the faults found. Though the
methods were branded as very poor
and defective, no action was taken to
rectify or improve them. Where the
state gets any benefit from the money
spent we are not able to see.
