.sition on the Philippine question.
Adhering as / do to the declara-
tions of party conventions on the
subject, there can be no point of
difference thereon between Sena-
tor Money and me, if he maintains
the same party consistency that !
do, and there is therefore no need
for the discussion of a subject
about which we agree.
"The intimation that / am in
this or in any other matter per-
tanning to the canvass guilty of
duplicity or playing for Republi-
can favor is not only without foun-
dation in fact, but is positively
untrue.
You will permit me to request
therefore that you give yourself
no concern about my losing Dem
ocratic support on account of the
Philippine question, and to re-
mind you that your sarcastic ref
erence to opposition of pie hunt
ers may serve to again direct the
public attention to your applica
tion for a Judicial appointment at
my hands, and that, by reason
of the failure Of your aspirations,
subject you also to the criticism
Of being yourself a disappointed
pie hunter. Yours truly,

Importance. Of Sewerage.

Editor of The Leader: Being
interested in the welfare of the
city, I write to ask you to call
public attention to the spread
of typhoid fever in Brookhaven.
This disease, / am informed, is
in several homes in the town, and
six members of one family are
suffering with it. Persons who
live in the infected district desire
to leave it and are speaking of
renting houses elsewhere. If the
unsanitary conditions that exist
continue, it is only a question of
time before the disease will spread
over the entire space. Some steps
should be taken to prevent this,
and there is no better way of pre-
venting it than to put in a sewer
age system. The people should
and will soon have an opportunity.
to decide the sewerage question.
|I have consulted several of the
best physicians here, and they are
Unanimous in saying that sewer
Eage is absolutely necessary to the
Ipublic health. Increased taxa
tion will amount to little compared
with drugs, trained nurses and
doctors bills, leaving out of con-
lsideration the injury to health.

WHAT THEN I

We were not so fortunate as to
be present when Major Vardaman
addressed the voters at Carthage,
but a friend who heard his speech
informs us that among other things
he said Tin substance) this:
When Mckinley was assassin
ated the news flashed over the
world that the great ruler was
dead It was mistake to say
that; he was no5t-she ruler, but the
servant of the people, who are
the real rulers. This being so, it
is the people who will say what
shall be done; and if. they want
the school fund adjusted upon rae
ial lines, then the election by
them of a legislature in sympathy
with this platform will make easy
the road to that end. -
We are at loss to know how
the election of legislature in
sympathy with Major Vardaman's
platform on that particular point
would make the achievement of
the end sought by him easy. As
a matter of fact, the constitution
not only of the State of Mississip-
pi, but that of the United States,
stands in the path as obstacles in
the way of the accomplishment of
the end sought by him. A legis-
lature, if it were foolish enough
to try to repeal the organic law
of the State by Legislative enact
ment, wou Id have the act it pass
ed sent to the Governor for his
approval before it could find its
place on the statute books. The
Governor of the State when he
assumes the Office takes a solemn
oath to uphold the constitution of
the United States and of the State
of Mississippi. How, then, could
Major Vardaman, if he were Gov
ernor, and had Legislature in
sympathy with him on this point,
affix his approving signature to
an act which would be in delibe-
rate violation of boths If he
should find it in his heart to do
such a thing, how long would it
be before the supreme court of
the State would knock all the
props from under his scheme by
pronouncing it unconstitutional?
Major Vardams.n pays no COM
| pliment to the voters when he
tells them such things as he is al
legged to have told them in his
Carthage speech. The only thing
a legislature could do would be
to pass a resolution and submit it
to the voters for satisfaction to
repeal the clause of our State
constitution which relates to the
distribution Of the school fund;
and when that was done he would
still be confronted with the con-
stitution of the United States. It
takes a big majority of all the
Estates of the Union to change the
Federal constitution, and it is safe
to say that this majority can never
be obtained so long as the race
lquestioh is needlessly raised and
kept alive in the Southern States.

HEARD ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES.
And Now Lawyer Ellis Is Sorry He
Spoke.

SpOASSe
A reputed lawyer at Hatties-
burg, commonly called Ellis, adj
dressed letter to Gov. Longino
last week which he evidently con
sidered was squelcher and would
knock the leading candidate for
UnitedStates Senator into cooked
hat. We take pleasure in repro
ducing the Governors reply in
which is also contained the Ellis
letter in. It may be readily
seen therefrom that Longino has a
pocketful of rocks for his political
detractors and maligners.
The letter IS as follows:
Executive Department,
jackson, Miss, July II.
aG w. Ellis, ESQ.,, Hattiesburg,
Miss:
Dear Sir: ] am in receipt of
your letter of the 10Th inst, in
which you state as follows: BY
some it is charged that your views
upon the Philippine question are
il accord with the ideas Of Pres
ident Roosevelt; that you refrain
from exressing your views upon
that question, for il they are in
line with the Republicans you will
lose the support of Democrats,
and that if you entertain Demo-
cratic opinions you will not be in
accord with and lose the support
of Roosevelt and his Republic
can pie distributors in this State.
Will you kindly make an unqual-
|ified statement on the Philippine
question, that all doubt may be
forever at rests

judge and mayor, and that he did
not know that Branch was me-
gro until after the appointment
had been made.
In regard to the appointment
of j. G. Chapple, a notary public
at Greenville, he said that Chap
|ple had been recommended to
him as negro of good character,
worthy of the trust, and his petit
tion was signed by the best white
men Of Greenville, including the
judge of the district, and the may
or Of the city. In neither Of the
above instances were any obiec-
tions made to the appointments.
Referring to the appointment of
the negro election commissioner
in Wilkinson county the Govern
or said that the appointee had been
re commended to the State Board
of Election Commissioners as a
suitable person to name as the
Republican member, and that no
reference was made to the fact
that he was negro. Under the
law all three county election COM
missioners could not be named
from the same political party,
and the State Board made this ap-
pointment. 1t was afterwards
learned. that he was a negro, and
Objectionable to the people of the
county, and his resignation was
called for and a white Republi-
can appointed in his stead.
He says that he had commuted
the sentence of the negro in Law
renee county upon the request of
about 800 of the best citizens of
the county, including the judge,
district attorney and other court
officers and ministers Of the gos-
pei. There was no protest filed
against the communications
The Governor stated that he had
commuted the death sentence of
negro in Quitman county upon
the earnest solicitation of nearly
every white man in the county,
andt the endorsement of the Judge,
district attorney, sheriff and other
court officers. There was no pro-
test filed.
Referring to the killing of the
officer at Gulfport by negroes, the
Governor says that the record of
rewards in the Governors Office
shows that he did offer reward
of 500 for each of said murder
ers.
"A negro, John Nance" he
said, was sentenced to life i'm
plisonment from Yazoo county for
rape in 1868. Thirty five years
afterward, a short time after ]
had been elected Governor, pc
tition was presented to me signed
by Judge j. A. P. Campbell and
Judge S. S. Calhoon, who were
the circuit Judge and district at
torney at the conviction of the.
negro. They stated that at the
time of his conviction they be-
heved him to be innocent, and
that after serving thirty five
years, twenty-five years as a
trusty), in the State prison, they
requested his pardon. This ]
did, and a negro 80 years of age,
tottering upon the brink of the
grave, was pardoned.
The Governor said that this
petition had been published in the
Yazoo Herald for 80 days as re-
quired by law and no pro test was
ever filed against the pardon.

HOUSTON LONGING AS HE wAsAND is.

gino was born and reared on a
farm in Lawrence county, and
grew up an orphan boy who had
to plow, drive oxen and do other
work familiar to youths on farm.
Further, that while thus engaged
and afterward while serving as
a school teacher, chancery CLERK
of Lawrence county and lawyer,
he formed ties Of friendship
with the plain people of his earlier
days, which will last as long as
life itself.
The editor Of The Leader re-
calls a little incident within his
own perso onal observation which
happened four years ago, which
well illustrates the mutual friend
ship and devotion which subsisted
between the governor and his old
friends of Lawrence, and which is
cherished by him and them to the
present day.
1t was the night of the day the
last State Democratic Convention
was held in jackson. Mr.. Longi-
no had, but a few hours before,
been accorded the proud distinc-
tion of being nominated by ac-
clamation for the position he now
holds; and it was, probably, the
proudest day of his life. As the
writer was standing near him in
the lobby of the House of Repre-
sentatives in the old State House,
a farmer of the Lawrence county
delegation, in plain homespun,
came up and said: well, Hous-
ton, | came up here with the boys
to make you governor and we've
done it now, and Pm going back
home,' extending his hand for a
farewell shake. The Governor
took the outstretched hand in one
of his, and placing the other on the
shoulder of his farmer friend
from Lawrence, he said: John,
| am very thankful to you for ta-
king such an interest in my can
+didaey for Governor, and ] feel
that | can never repay the debt of
gratitude that ] owe to you and
the other good people of Law
renee county, where / was born
and raised, for the way you have
stood by me in this fight. Good
bye, old fellow, and hereafter
when you come to Jackson, just
drive up TO the mansion, turn
your oxen loose in the back yard
and come in and make yourself al
home, just as you did when ] lived
in Monticello
John has been to Jackson
since, but as it was long way
off, he left his oxen at home and
rode the iron horse on the g. &
S. I. R. R. But he did not fail te
receive the same hearty, cordia
welcome.at the Governors Man
sion from the Governor and Mrs
Longino, herself native of Law
renee county, that would have beer
received by one of the most distin
guished men Of the State.
It is things like this that cause
Houston Longino to be loved ant
honored by the people who have
known him longest and best.
