uNFouNDED CRITICISM.

The Yazoo Sentinel, a usually
fair and dignified journal, denies
that it is ''maliciously malign
ing" Governor Longino and adds:
when a man aspires to political
Office, his official record is a
proper subject of legitimate criti-
cism, and this large part of the
State press has seen fit to do and
will continue to do, regardless of
whether or not the deputy Gov
ernor pays his respects to them"
The editor of the Sentinel can
not plead ignorance, if he would,
so when he refers to Gov. Longi-
no as the deputy Governor" he
proves that he is inspired and
blinded by malice or prejudice in
what he writes. The simple
truth is, if A. H. Longino has
not been the real Governor of
Mississippi for the past three
years, Mississippi never had a
man in the chief executives chair
who was governor. There is
much ground for believing that it
is because he has been the real
Governor of Mississippi, and not
a mere figure head, to be swayed
hither and thither by men who had
axes to grind, that he is now so
severely criticized in certain
quarters. And the people are not
going to be blinded by such silly
stuff, either.

Meeting With Favor.

Longino's candidacy is meeting
with more general favor than we
expected. From all sections his
splendid administration is praised
and his strength with the people
conceded. OF course there are
some exceptions, but there is no
denying the fact that he is most
formidable competitor. He is
pretty certain to carry the delta
and South Mississippi by large
maiorities, and he will run neck
and neck in the Northern portion
of the State. While the Cover
nor has been ''cussed" a great
deal, it looks like he is a sure win
ner for United States Senator. =

HOUSE TO HOUSE CANVASS.
Growing Unpopular With the People,
Who Regard It Burdensome.
Senatobia Democrat.

Senatobia Democrat.
A few weeks ago the Democrat
suggested that the house to house
campaign be abandoned and dates
fixed by the county executive
committee for the candidates to
visit various voting precincts and
meet the people. We realized
that considerable valuable time
had to be given to the candidates
if the house to house canvass was
made and viewing. the matter
from a financial standpoint at least
calculated it was net loss of at
least 81 900 to the farmers. Our
sug question has met with popular
favor throughout the county.
The dates could be fixed during
clay by" season and therefore no
time would be lost by the farmers
during their planting season.
We do not want to be understood
that our suggestion bars candi-
date from attending any public
event in any section of the county
or visiting his friends, but we
do sincerely contend that we can
select as good officers and have as
good government without the
house to house campaign as with
it, and to discard it means a big
saving for the farmers, who
always carry the burden. The
value of the time lost with can
didates is being realized by the
farmers in many counties in the
State and different systems are be-
ing adopted to limit the loss from
the planters. Over in Lee county
the farmers have centered on a
unique plan of working the can
didates, which we reproduce from
the Mississippi department of the
Memphis News: It reads thus:
I'm Lee county the farmers
have most unique organization,
the purpose of which is to make
the candidates pay in hard labor
for the support pledges they re-
ceive. At a mass meeting of the
farmers recently held in that
county the following remarkable
resolutions were adopted:
"Resolved, That we purchase a
supply of hoes to be used by the
candidates in this campaign, and
be it
Resolved, That when district
candidate appears on a farm we
are to require him to hoe two
rounds of 400 yards each, and be
it
"Resolved, That all county can
didates be required to hoe ten
rounds of 400 yards each, and be
it further
Resolved, That State candi-
dates who canvass in buggies be
given double dose of work in
the manner above outlined.
By this method the Lee county
farmers hope to make up for the
valuable time they lose each cam
paign year in talking to candidates,
and if the plan is generally adopt
ed over the State it will doubtless
detract in a large measure from
the strenuousness of the contests. "

The Mississippi Press Association.

At meeting of the joint COM
mittees of the Mississippi and
Louisiana Press Associations in
New Orleans on the 10th of Febru-
airy it was decided to have the as
sociations meet in that city Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday,
May 5th 9th and 18th.
1t has since been learned
that on those days the National
Medical Association will meet in
New Orleans, with an attendance
of 5000, and that because Of this
it has been decided by the New
Orleans people to change the meet
ing of the Press Associations to
May 18th and 18th. The program
as now being arranged is to meet
Monday and Tuesday, May 18th
and 10Th, in the city, leaving New
Orleans at 6 a. m. Wednesday, the
18th, for a visit to the salt mines
of Louisiana and the rice belt,
spending the night in Crowley
Thursday, the 14th, visit San
Antonio and Beaumont, Texas, re-
turning to New Orleans Friday
night, the 18th. The trips out
of New Orleans will be made on
special train over the Southern
Pacific R. R. in sleeping cars.
These arrangements are now
being made and as soon as they
are definitely decided upon, they
will be announced by circular to
the members of the two associa-
tions. To use the sleepers slight
expense will be incurred, which
each member of the association
who takes advantage of the trips
will be expected to pay. The
Southern Pacific will furnish the
train. From appearances this
promises to be one of the most
delightful outings in the history of
the Associations. - PascagouIa

RESIGNATION.

There is no flock, however watched and tended
But one dead lamb is there!
There is no tireside, howsoe'er defended,
But has one vacant chair!
The air is full of farewellS to the dying,
And MORNINGS for the dead:
The heart of Rachel, for her children crying,
Will not be comforted!
Let us be PATIENT These severe Affections
Not from the ground arise,
But oftentimes celestial benedictions
Assume this dark disguise.
We see but dimly through the mists and vapors
Amid these earthly damps,
What seem to us but sad, funereal tapers
NJ y he heavens distant amps.
There is no Death! What seems so is transition
This life ofmortal breath
Is but suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call Death.
She is not dead,-the child of our Affection
But gone unto that school
Where she no longer needs our poor protection
And Christ himself doth rule
In that great cloister's stiffness and seclusion
By guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sins pollution
She lives, whom we call dead.
Day after day, we think what she is doing
In those bright realms of air.
Year after year, her tender steps pursuing,
Behold her grown more fair.
Thus do we walk with her, and keep unbroken
The bond which nature gives,
Thinking that our remembrance, though I'M
spoken,
May reach her where she lives.
Not as child shall we again behold her;
For when with rapture wild
In our embraces we again enfold her,
She will not be a child;
But fair maiden. in her Fathers mansion,
Clothed with celestial grace;
And beautiful with all the souls expansion
Shall we behold her face.
And though, at times, impetuouS with emotion
And anguish long suppressed,
The swelling heart heaves moaning like the
ocean,
That cannot be at rest
We will be patient. and assu4ge the feeling
We may not wholly stay;
By silence sanctifying, not concealing,
The grief that must have way.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
