FoRTlETH DAY.

Convened in joint session this morn.
ing, the two houses of the legislature
paid solemn and beautiful tribute to
one of its departed members. State
Senator w B. Walker of Monroe coun-
ty. In deathlike stiffness the mem
bers of the two bodies sat for nearly
three hours while beautiful tributes
were paid to the life and character of
the dead statesman.
At the conclusion of the legislative
addresses Bishop Galloway was in
yited to pay his tribute of loving re-
membrance to the dead senator, who
for many years had been his personal
friend. Bishop Galloway performed
the marriage ceremony twelve years
ago when Senator Walker and Miss
Mary Dudley Sykes were united in
happy marriage, and his address was
one of the ablest efforts this distin-
guished divine has ever made on such
an occasion. He ascended'to the high.
est flights of the eloquence of which
he is master, and his blending of beau
tiful sentiment with exquisite pathos
brought tears to many furrowed
cheeks.
The house committee on corporations
reported adversely on the joint resolu-
ton introduced by Mr.. Foster of War
rem instrueting the encouragement to
Immediately institute legal proceed
ings to set aside the merger between
the Mobile & Ohio and Southern Rail
ways.
This report brings to an end one of
the hardest fought committee battles
of the legislature Strong pressure
was brought to bear to secure favor
able report on the resolution, and
equally strong arguments were made
by the representatives of the two rail-
roads, Col. E. L. Russell of the Mo-
bile & Ohio and Gen. Thomas G. Catch
ings of the Southern, showing that the
merger is not violation Of the clause
of the Mississippi constitution forbid
ding the consolidation of parallel or
competing lines of railway.
By an almost unanimous vote the
senate refused to concur in the house
amendments to the uniform school
book bill, and conference has been
requested on the subject, the commit
tee to be composed Of five members
from each body.
The senate particularly objects to
the house amendment which changes
the personnel of the school book COM
mission by relieving the governor
and attorney-genersl from serving
thereon. The original measure also
specifies the grade Of the eight teach
ers to be appointed, and merely re-
quires that they shall be teachers of
known ability"
This Is the result the school book
lobby hoped to accomplish, and conse-
quently they are very jubilant over
the senate's refusal to concur. If a
discord should develop among the ten
members of the conference committee
1t is certain that there will be- no
school book legislation; as the session
is drawing rapidly to a close. Two
years ago the school book bill was de
feated by the non-concurrernce of the
senate, and it seems that the lobby has
penchant for accomplishing it's most
effective work, in the upper body.

Tho bill authorizes the sale of the
present deaf and dumb institute prop
erty, which is estimated to be worth
about $125,000, and contemplates the
use of the funds thus derived for the
erection of the buildings for the new
institutions. The buildings proper are
to cost not exceeding $4,000, and in
case the commission fails to find any
State property in Jackson, either at
the insane hospital or the deaf and
dumb institute lands IN the western
suburbs, suitable for a site, they may
spend not more than $4,000 for the
purchase of a tract not to exceed 100
acres.
Since the old buildings of the deaf
and dumb institute were destroyed by
fire two years ago, the institution has
been occupying cottages erected on
the old site, and confidence is felt that
ready sale can be obtained for this
property

MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATOR

As the legislature enters Upon the
ninth week of its existence, activity
begins to mark Its deliberations. From
now on to adjournment 1t will be q
steady grind with both branches. 1t is
not believed that the legislature will
be able to get through before the goth
at the earliest. There is good deal
OF important legislation which has to
be perfected yet. A good many bills
which are very important have passed
but one house, and they will have to
be taken up by the other house and
passed. The members are anxious to
be of, but they recognize that they
cannot Jump up and leave lot Of i'm
portant legislation unfinished
The senate now has the general
privilege tax bill, passed by the house,
and the general appropriation bill,
both of which are very important
measures. 1t is expected that both of
these bills will be passed during the
week.
The members of both houses are at
sea in regard to bond issue, and it
has not been determined yet whether
there will have to be bond issue or
not. There are a great many men,
hers of the opinion that Ii the legis-
'ature will make provision to sell the
property of the State in the city of
Jackson, which is not needed, it will
put enough money into the treasury
to. avoid bond issue. No action has
been taken as yet looking to the sale
OF any of this property, though some
bills have been introduced looking to
the sale of the old caDitol pronertv
but the bill is still tied up with the
committee.
Some of the farmer members of the
legislature are getting restless. Spring
is coming on and they know that their
presence is needed at home to super
intend farming operations.
