Great Contest for the To9a IS As
,ured Down in Ms
sissiPPi.
MONEY HAS MADE AN
. EXCELLENT SENATOR
But Gov. Loasiao Has Laid Ills Plans
Well and the Greatest Senatori1a T.
Fight Ever Known n hissis-
sippi is EQeeted.

Special to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
JACKSON, MISS, Mar. 21.-The
senatorial contest between Gov. Lon
gino and Senator Money promises to
he the most memorable struggle of
the kind that has occurred in Missis-
sippi for many years.
Gov. Longino's decision to ~enter
the field against the present incnm-
bent, whose term expires March 4,
1905, was not taken without mature
consideration. He has carefully view
ed the field, conferred with his per-
sonal land political friends and
thoroughly canvassed the strength of
his opponent. In = word, he realizes
what must be encountered In the cam
paign, and has made his plans accord
ingly. Senator Money will have a
foeman worthy Of his steel in the
campaign this summer. "
The governors present position car.
ries with it q prestige and influence
that will rebound to his ADVANCE in
the fight Again, his administration
has been uniformly successful, and
the management OF the affairs OF state
has been characterized by the pru-
dence, forethought and business Sagac-
ity, aud the state has prjspered as
never before. To what extent the
governor can claim credit for the won
derful progress and commercial deyel.
= opment Is, ut course, aaQtieStiuns On
which opinion may differ, but tae nd
vancement in his favor and which will
commend him to many voters.
On the other hand, Senator Money
is very popular throughout the state.
1t is true that be has not been in close
contact with the people since his cleo
tiun to the seat formerly held by the
lamented J. 4. George, having made
but few public addresses in Mississippi
during his senatorial career, but the
voters have watched with interest his
public acts, all of Which commend
him for thier approval.
In spite of frequent retirement
from duty caused by ill-health ani
impairment OF eyesight, he ha.
achieved national reputation anf
become one of the most conspicuous
figures in the highest legislative bod,
OF the land, and it will be a difficult
matter to take from him the senate
rial toga he has worn with such credf
and honor to the state since 1897. -
The principal battle-ground OF tn
contest will be in the delta and east
ern sections Of the state. Senate
Money is strong i'm north Mississippi
while the Longino forces will displa
their greatest strength in the south
ern section, leaving the eastern tie
of counties, and those lying along tn
Mississippi river, and contiguous there
to as common ground for the big CON
bat. Gov. Longino was born an
reared in the southern part Of TIL
state. being a native of Lawrenc
county, but during the greater porto
= of his public career he has been
citizen Of the delta, and in that pal
of the state it is naturally to be e.
pected that he will have a strongt
following than his opponent. 1t ther'
fore appears that the campaign wi
assume it's most strenuous phase
east Mississippi.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

President Roosevelt has. with the
cooperation of the postmaster general
and his assistants, inaugurated one Of
the most thorough investigations
ever conducted in a department Of
the government and one which, while
it is only in the initial stage, has
resulted in one resignation and gives
promise Of uncovering a series Of the
gravest Irregularities. The ihvestiga-
tion deals with the divisions of
salaries and allowances and of free
delivery in the postofiice department
Repeated charges of corruption in
these divisions convinced the post
master general that affairs were not
as they should be and when the
matter was brought to the attention
Of the president he Immediately au-
thorized most sweeping investiga-
tiOn.

Justice Canne Reverssd

q. 7. Riviere VS.. overseers of the
poor of Porter township oertiorari
to H. L. Canine, justice peace
Suit was brought by plaintiff to
receive 9s cents poor tax paid by him
on lands which he alleged were not
in said township and which the
overseers of the poor had no right
to levy and collect.
Thirteen exceptions were fled Of
which eight are dismissed. The
remaining exceptions allege that the
justice has no jurisdiction Of the
subject matter. The court says the
Jurisdiction Of justices of the peace
in ordinary civil cases is derived
from section of the act of 20 March.
1910. This act as amended by act of
z July, 1879, gives them jurisdiction
inter salia "of all causes of action
arising from contract, either express
or implied, when the sum demanded
does not exceed $780," The courts
have construed this to mean only
"those contracts that arise immedi-
ately Que of a course of dealing
between the parties and not that
sort of contract that arises remote
IL out of the compact of govern
ment." zeigler VS.. Gram 10 S. and
r. 10S, 10 Penn. state 379, superior
court 52s.
The record shows plaintiffs demand
is for poor tax paid upon lands
assessed in Porter township but
lying in Monroe county. The record
does not show any agreement
between the parties that the tax
should be refunded in any event.
The justice would therefore have nc
jurisdiction under this act of as
sembly. We know of no act OF
assembly comforting jurisdiction on
justices of the peace to entertain an
/ UStAoA bA AOu6hp W l0bClNb ldA6e
assessed against an individual OF
land, by township or poor district
and voluntarily paid to the person
or persons authorized to receive the
same. The record in this case does
not show that this was not volun
tary payment.
In Murray VS.. Besone, Law Review
S74, it was held that a magistrate
has no jurisdiction in an action tC
recover from borough tax collector
a head tax voluntarily paid to hin
by the plaintiff.
The exceptions relating to thu
jurisdiction of the justice over th,
subject matter are sustained tn,
proceedings reversed and judgmen
given for the defendant with costs.

California Lands

The press dispatches announcing
preparations for a tremendous land
rush in June next when a million
acres in Southern California are to be
thrown open to entry, indicate that a
good many Of our people are still
looking for homes upon tile land.
Much of this land is desert, hOweyer,
and can only be made habitabIe and
productive through irrigation. There
is little question but that the western
lands which the government is pre-
pairing to irrigate under the national
irrigation act, will be taken up by
thrifty settlers from the east as fast
as the dams can be built and the
water placed upon the land.

Roos welt on For ssrv

President Roosevelt has shown up
on more than one occasion his extern
sive knowledge of the natural
sciences with which many statesmen
are not particularly cunversant. He
informally addressed, the other even
ing, body Of scientific foresters at
the residence of Clifford Pihchot, the
government forester. The presidents
remarks showed an entire mastery of
the forestry problem and outlined
what the government policy hoped to
accomplish. He deplored the manner
in which the countrys forests have
been ravished and destroyed during
the past few decades, and urged
their preservation. "You must keep
your high ideals' he said ''and seek
to realize them in practical way, by
showing TO lumbermen that scientific
forestry is practicable. You are
creating new profession, profession
of as much Importance as that of law,
medicine orauy other, and a profession
capable of the highest development. ="

Of Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination for the
presidency in 1904. We share with
the entire country in the confidence
reposed in his purposes, his sincerity
and honesty and in his constant effort
to make the best Of his high position

summer The president already

He will get such a welcome as the

Considerable interest is manifested
in a peculiar situation growing out
Of the great personal interest the
president takes in the navy. There
has been for some time a suspicion
that Mr.. Moody, secretary of the
navy, did not take in his department
the interest to be expected of him,
but it now transpires that Mr. Moody
has been hardly a free agent having
been obliged in numerous instances
to follow the dictation of the president
as against his-own incinations. The
president is an ardent advocate of a
general staff for the navy, similar to
that just authorized by congress for
the army. Mr.. Moody has been
instructed to ascertain the sentiments
of the members Of congress who
accompany him ON the cruise on the
Dolphin, on this subject, and to
create for the scheme all the favor he
can. With such a staff it is predicted
that there would be comparatively
little responsibility left to the secre-
tary.
