third of this enormous sum. which
is beyond the computing of any man
during his life, is either wasted OF
used for purposes for which the tax
payers do not receive ary benefit.
1t is only four years ago. during
war time, that billion dollar con-
gress was denounced by even rerub-
llcan newspapers, as profigate of the
peoples money, and we were told
that new taxes would have to be inn
posed II the extravaganza was con-

80, 1897, the appropriations for all
purposes were 1896, 1869, ,627, but that
was the last year appropriations
were made by democratic congress.
Now more than double that large
amount is to be spent. The repub-

the expense of running the govern

Memphis are suing the State of Mis-
vissippi through the land commits
sioner. The chancellor decides
against Stewart, Gwynne & Co., and
u1holds the demurrer to the suit
which was filed by Attorney-General
McClurg. 1t appears that Stewart,
GWynne & Co. bought lot of lands
through the State land efice and
afterwards found that the title was
not good and that the State had no
right to sell them. They brought
suit under an act of the legislature
passed in 1900 for relief, but the
chancellor holds that the act of 1900
has been repealed and this leaves
the plaintiffs to seek some other rem

that change in the majority control
