United Charities.

A mass meeting was called for
Tuesday night at the Presbyterian
church for the purpose of discuss
ing the question as to whether or
not we shall have a united chart
ties association in Tupelo. The
need of such M organization has
been apparent several years aud
the matter has been freely dis
cussed through the press and by
the public generally, but until the
meeting referred to no steps have
been taken to organize. The num-
Der present was small, but after
discussing the matter it was de-
cided to issue another call for
Tuesday night Of next week at the
same place where it is to be hoped
that a large number of our people
may be present. The need of such
an organization is too we'll known
tc need further argument on
the subject; the question to be de-
termined is whether we shall have
one or not. The ladies are special
ly invited to be present; in all
works of charity they are expect
ed to take thS lead aud they never
fail to respond to any duty. 1t is
a work In which they throw their
whole souls and the organization
could not succeed without til cir
assistance. 1t is urgently request
ed that a goodly number may be
present when it is to be hoped that
an organization that a take hold
of the work and ~effectualIy carry
it out may be effected.

The November Elections.

The elections in the various
states for state officers and con-
gressmen r fast approaching and
the politicians r watching the
trend of events with deep and
growing interest. 1t is apparent
that there exists in the republican
party greater disturbances and
divisions than usual and that there
is more harmony and unity of &C.
ton in the democratic party than
for years past. The republicans
are less confident and the demo-
Gratis r more hopeful than dur
ing any recent canvass.
There seems to be a line of new
issues that have been sprung by
new conditions that are agitating
the masses drought the north and
west. In the west there has
arisen a very strong sentiment
in favor of the revision and reduc-
ton of the present outrageous
tariff. The people see that the
incomes Of the government pro-
duce greater revenue than is
needed to defray expenses. The
duties and taxes levied bring in
such great amounts that money is
piled up in the treasury in colos-
sal sums. Hundreds of millions of
dollars IRE lying there idle. 1t is
thus distracted from circulation
and is kept out of the hands of the
people to whom it belongs. The
country is paying taxes in ad-
vance. This depriyes the people
of money which they need. This
is virtual robbery and the peo-
pie are tired of it,.
The great anthricite coal CON-
bine in its defiant attitude and
policy is giving the northern and
eastern people a lesson on the
subject of trusts which brings
home to them the realization OF
the power of these heartless and
oppressive organizations. They
see the anthrlcite barons boldly
defying the law as we'll as the
people. They see, for the first
time, how impotent the govern
ment is to deal with them. They
see want and suffering arising
from their arrogant claims and are
now realizing what the republican
party has done for them.
1t is a question as to which par
ty will control the next Congress.
The Senate is strongly republican.
The democrats have a fair chance
to elect a majority of the lower
house. Should they do this the
administrator will be forced to
call a halt and the country may
see some vicious republican
schemes checked and defeated.

Warden Parchman is very glib
in diagnosing the motives of those
who have arraigned him before the
board of control. But he makes
no explanation of why he did not
report Or enter that $1,000 on the
cash book. He says he paid it
ou: in boot for a mule. Admitted,
but is this any reaso why it was
not accounted for on the books.
Had he bought a drove of mules
with it the transaction should
have shown on the records. Trans
acting business for the state, and
a large and complex business, too,
where there is a large margin of
opportunities for abuse, and where
much abuse has only recently been
charged, the board of control
should have a voucher and an entry
for every dollar received and dis
bursed. Certainly the board APP
preciates the force OF a strict OBJ
servance of such rule, and that no
Il should be kept in It's employ.
and entrusted with It's authority,
who does not recognize and con-
form to so plain a duty. 1t is the
invariable practice iu private af-
fairs-no individual would toler-
ate expenditures without vouchers
in al employe.-Vicksburg Herald

After Parchman Again.

And now comes Commissioner
Kincannon and "skuses'' Warden
Parchman of pocketing some more
Of the States money. By way Of
reply or answer to the charge the
afore mentioned Parchman confes.
ses to getting the $9l, but says
that he gave it as "boot in a mule
swap and for that reason no n
try was made of it on the books.
It "does seem to me" that there
must be something radically
wrong somewhere Or somehow in
the management of the affairs of
the Penitentiary.
If Parchman received this mon
ey some note or entry should have
been made of it. In fact the ac-
counts Of the P%enitentiary should
be so kept that every dollar that
passes through the hands of the
officer or officers in charge could
be traced and accounted for. Such
loose methods are objectionable.
1t is also apparent that either Mr..
Kincannon is an unjust quarrel.

perpetually "laying himself IL

Judge between these men but l do

being made haye convinced the

characterized by more Filthy dis

ton since the days of Winthrop
Sargent. The Board of Control
should sift these charges, ventilate
them and if any thing wrong has
been done, get rid of the offender.
