THE NEW JAIL.

On November 4th next the peo-
pile of Monroe county must vote on
the proposition to borrow 5000
of the sixteenth section school
fund, with which it is proposed to
build a new Jail. This money is
lying idle in the county treasury
and must be loaned at 6 per cent.
1t is not needed nor could it be
applied, except the interest it must
earn, to the common schools.
Monroe county is compelled to
have a new Jail, or the old one
made new. This is no longer in
any ones discretion. 1t has be-
come a positive necessity. The
Board of Supervisors have neither
the inclination nor the authority
to avoid the matter longer. They
have presented most sensible and
economic plan by which the Jail
can be built without burden of
taxation to the people. That plan
is comprehended in the election
notice published elsewhere in our
columns. The proposition pro-
vides that the people empower the
Board to borrow the *S,OO5 of the
sixteenth section school fund at g
per cent. interest and use it TO
erect the Jail This money be-
longs to the county and if the peo-
pie borrow it, whatever interest
they pay is paid to themselves
and the Jail is thereby secured
without taxation. Fur
Their; the school money, a per-
petual fund, of which the in
terest only can be used. will find
safe Investment, and continue as
loan rs long as the county sees fit
to use it.
The WEEKLY believes that it
will pay voters of the county to
thoroughly inform themselves as
to the tum ble-down condition of
the county Jail and the economic
means suggested by the Board of
Supervisors to secure a new one

Circuit Court.

The session of circuit court thus
far has been occupied with the
Tennyson cases, heard on change
of venue from Lowndes county.
The Tennyson brothers were in
dicted for the murder of Morris
Drees, at Columbus, in 1900, and
their causes were heard at the fol-
lowing session of the circuit court.
K. b. Tennison was convicted at
that term of manslaughter and
sentenced to twenty five years
Imprisonment, while j. p. Tenny-
son was convicted as indicted and
given a life sentence. The cases
were appealed to the supreme
court and remanded for hearing
A change of venue was effected to
this county and the K. b. Tenny-
son case came up for trial Thurs
day of last week The argument
was concluded Saturday night at

verdict of acquittaS Monday morn
ing following at 10 o'clock. The

The question If tariff revision
threatens CONSERVATISM TO the Re
pu blican party The interests of
the East and the West are so radi-
calIy different a. regards protec-
tion that the b ii tariff doctrine
can no longer fool both sections.
The Repu blIcans of the West are
beginning TO reaiize that they have
been the cat in the monkeys
chestnut game and are likely to
demand tariff readjustment after
the Democratic idea. Roosevelt,
who represents the Eastern wing
Of his party and the trusts. has a
Herculean undertaking to recon
Gle the diverse demands of the
two sections and continue the
West in the same old chestnut
game. The first rumblings against
the present pernicious tariff sys-

er Henderson of the House of
Representative gave the best in.
dication of Republican dissensions
on that question by refusing to
accept the nomination for Con
gress from the third congressional
districtIof Iowa. Mr. Henderson
has. served I'D Congress from that
district continuously for more than
twenty years and gave as his reas-
on for refusing the nomination
that the Republicans Of his dis

the tariff question. Mr. Hender-

of the trusts, and his fear to sdvo-

Henderson was elected two years

AN EXTREME ISSUE.

The proposition to divide the |
school fund between the two races
in proportion to the amount of tax
paid by each is the most extreme
issue that has been injected into
a State campaign in Mississippi
for years.
1t bears nothing to commend it
to fair minded men nor appeals to
anything but prejudices that
should have no place in the hearts
of Mississippians.
As a governmental policy. it
would fail of expediency and would
subject the State to severe criti-
cism and censure. Besides, it
would invite Federal interference
and would destroy that confidence
which the world now has in the
white people of the South who are
doing and will do more for the
negro race than all other sections
com bined.
An obligation which every gov
eminent is under to its citizens is
to accord each equal privileges
and fair participation in its bene-
fits. The school fund divide would
violate this obligation and discrim-
mate on grounds that could not be
justified on any we'll founded prin-
ciple Of right.
If there is want of equity in the
adjustment of educational funds
between the schools of the two
races it cannot be corrected by vio-
lating the first principles of con-
stitutional government. 1t must
be adjusted within Legitimate
bounds and within the pale of jus
tice. Mr.. Nardaman, who is II
patriotic and talented gentleman,
should Withdraw his issue and di-
rect his guns at the right mark.
This mark is the system of dis
bursting the school fund TO the
various counties of the State on a
basis of educable population. The
State fund should be distributed
to the several counties of the State
in the same way that county sup
erintendents apportion the county
fund to the school districts of their
county-that is, according to the
grade and ability of teachers and
the educational requirement of the
districts. This plan would afford
grounds for legitimate discrimin-
alton and would save thousands oil
dollars TO the State without i'm
Epairing the excellency of its
i schools. 1t is now done as re-
CARDS the school district, or unit oil
distribution In the county, anc
would work equally we'll with the
county as the unit of distribution
in the State. Such plan woulc
give the white counties a fair tote
with those in the delta, and would
afford tire solution of a question
that is now agitating the public
mind and which the people mean
to settle in the coming State cam
paign.
