In one Of Governor Longino's
speeches last week, while trying to
explain his ad administration and especial
ly that part of 1t connected with bis
pardoning Of negro culprits, the Gov
ernor read to his audience a part Of q
sentence contained in these columns
ard assumed to construe the sentence
to insinuate that he had negro blood
in his veins. Whatever may have
been the Governors feelings in the
matter, whatever be may have hoped
to gain by such a constructions it lie Ger.
tain that there was no such reflection
made, aud the attempt to create
the impression Of such an attack upon
him, is more silly than beneficial to
the Governor. 1t is bad enough to
rest under the humiliation that the
man who occupies the highest Office
In the state and aspirss to be promot-
cd TO q federal place, should think II
~justihable, in order to gain his aspifs-
ton, 10 cooperate with a mis- car
riage President OF the United States IN
the attempt to foster negro social and
political equality in this state, with
dreaming that such an attempt was
prompted from kninship feeling. He
had better cut that part Of his expla-
nations out.

the Meridian audience, and we see he
has been making about the same ode
Tense" mor properly explanation,
before other audiences, are doing the
Governor Justice. he is making a sorry
out Of it In other words when a man
is forced, by bis own record to explain
instead Of defend his administration,
it does not put a very favorable light
on his case.
1t is possible his negro record
a. published, which naturally must be
compiled at a slight disadvantage. by
reason Of the records being practically
in the Governors hands, that some
minor irregularity in statement might
appear. But this all seems to have
been neatly remedied by the Governors
practical admission Of ell the sail.
ent facts in the premises. He did not
deny a single statement made, but sim
ply tried to explain why ne had built mp
such q record.
The people Of Mississippi are not
asking for the why's and wherefOTes:
they are satisfied when they know the
fact that the record was made.
Of course the Governor is enjoying
unlimitsd space in the Memphis, New
Orleans and Birmingham dailies hired to
support him, and in the Meridian Press
and Jackson papers, to explain his rec
ord no matter how bad he made It.
Yet none OF these greut papers, now
proving upon the credulity of the peO~
pie of Mississippi, have space for the
reproduction Of the record as compiled,
/ for the information Of their Mississippi
readers.
We feel more and more justified in
reiterating the prediction that all the
money the Governor, with his Wash.
ingtOn side partners and other place
hunters here in our own state, can
spend IN this campaign will avail him
nothing, at least not in the line of ad-
vancing him to the senate, He may be
able to give publicity to his defense Of
his administration, and this defense
may be scattered by his subsidized
metropolitan press, but unfortunately
it is sometimes one of the worst advan.
tages n man can enjoy to have too
much help in revealing his acts.
The record stands unchallenged that
Governor Longino is being assisted by
the Republican push for the senate,
the last thing in the world and true
Mississippian could covert, and it also
reveals the fact that in return for this
Washington assistance, the Governor
has insulted every resident Of his state
in his open defense of the Presidents
attempts to force upon this state, the
negro in an official role. Such q posi-
ton needs not be explained as the
stepping stone for a fight for social
equality, for the disturbing Of all the
settled relations Of the white people
and their black charges throughout
South.
As suggested. we did not make this
record. 1t is a creation of the Govern
or himself, and he lie welcome to it.
We only desireto register Our protest to
its being accepted as the sentiment Of
this state, when we know it is not.

Two ministers at Paducah, went out
to a ball game Sunday afternoon and
proceed to write down the names Of
the players and all the others present
they could identity. When the game
was over, which they remained to see
finished by the way, the two ministers
were gathered n by the crowd, their
notes taken away from them and torn
up, and the ministers we're finally
thrown into a ditch; and scratched
up a little, though not seriously hurt.

The people of various sections Of
Mississippi ought to be ashamed 70
have imposed upon the credulity Of
so good a mar as the present Govern
or by recommending for appointment
and pardon so many negroes, never
permitting him 70 know they were
negroes until after they had been ap'
pointed or pardoned. Such conduc.
is not treating q con6ding executive

Supreme Court Judge Calhoon comes
to the defense Of Governor LOnginO
for the pardoniug of the negro rap
Ist Of Yazoo City, and can't be broad
enough to resist the statement that sit
is difficult to believe that any Missis-
sippian could have resOrted to such a
charge for political purposes" It is
expected that the machinery Of the
administration will be brought to bear
In defense of the Governors appetite
for q seat in the United States senate.
It Is q significant co-incident that II,
as Judge Calhoon says, he was pros
ecuting attorney and secured the con-
viction Of the negro thirty-hve years
ago, and then even was in doubt as to
his guilt, that he should have remain
ed silent so long, while the negro was
toiiDg away his precious ~ life Tor
the state ! How much more mildly
we can look upon a hideous crime
when we have a political assistance to
render one with whom we run about.
Even Judge Calhoon does not deny
however, that the negro committed
the rape, as charged. His statement
that the Governor did not know tb'
man he was signing a pardon for wa
q negro until after he had affixed hi
name is about on a par with the Gov
ernor's attempt to explain his owl
black record.

News. A careful reading Of Il vii

The nation has been startled from
day to day by the boasting announce
ments from Kansas, that its banks are
bubbllng over with money. And no
one is envious of the good people OF
Of the sunfiower state for it's prOspe
rous condition; on the other hand all
rejoice with him. But the Topeka
State Journal, a great paper that lie
always looking around and always
seeing something, has discovered that
while the reports Of the state bank
commissioners show that there ls
800, 900, 900 in the banks the tax as
SCISSORS have only reported the paul
try sum Of SS,2Ss, 741. This is indeed
quite q DISCREPANCY, and illustrates q
system OF tax lodging which exists In
probably every state in the Union.
That the system should be remedied,
no one will question, and yet it is not
remedied. Those who have are striv-
ing to keep, while those who have not,
or but little, must bear the burden of
taxation. 1t is the little fellow with a
small patch of ground FROM which he
struggles to raise enough to eat, who
must pay the toll, while the man with
bis millions in the bank, is never the
millionaire when the assessor comes
around. Kansas is really no excep-
ton to this bad rule Or custom.
