At the morning session the rules

Selling state Property.
At Mondays session of tho lower
house the Caruthers resolution provid-
ing for the appointment Of q special
committee to investigate the proposed
sale of real estate owned by the State.
and located in the city Of Jackson. will
be called up for discussion.
This will be ono of the most i'm.

legislative session, as the resolution
calls for a consideration Of the feasibil.
ity of selling the governors mansion
property, the present deaf and dumb
institute property both negro and
the fair grounds tract, in the rear Of
the old capitol building.
Gov. Longino In his final message to
the legislature recommended the sale
OF these tracts, and the rec0mmenda-
ton has been commented upon with
much favor among the legislators.
There is hardly any doubt that a joint
committee will be named to investi-
gate the matter and report back to the
two houses. The property named ts
worth several hundred thousand dol
lars, and some very substantial rea.
sons have been offered for it's sale at
the present time.

Changing Court Terms.

BY the time the present legislature
finishes it's work it is probable that
- . time of holding the chancery and
circuit court terms of nearly every
county in the State will have been
changed. It seems impossible to make
a satisfactory arrangement of court
terms in Mississippi, as the law on
the subject is being continually tink.
cred with, but at this session it will
be imperative to make some changes,
owing to the strong likelihood of new
districts being created, especially in
the southern part of the State. Some
of the circuit judges and chancellors
in the northern part of the State be.
lieve that their court terms could be
more satisfactorily arranged, and bills
looking to this end will be introduced
next week.

A Mean Trick.

The meanest trick Doc Lambert
ever. to my knowledge, played was the
one that popped into his head the day
he met farmer walking to town
with big basket Of eggs On his arm.

How much for eggs today?" Doc
asked. refining in his horse.
The farmer named his price, and
Doc said he. would take them all pro-
vided they stood his test. Alighting
stand with his hands clasped in front
of him, while he (the Doc) took the
eggs, three or four at time, from the
basket and, pretending to weigh them
in his hand, laid them upon the farm
er's arms.
Soon the farmer had to lean back to
keep the eggs from rolling of, but Doc
still piled them upon his front, until
the poor man was bent back almost
to the point of toppling over.
"What's this?" said Doc, with WELL
assumed indignation. He held an egg
up toward the sun and looked through
it. "You said they were all fresh"
Thereupon he leaped into his buggy
beside the friend who told the story
to me, and the two drove away, leav-
i1g the farmer perfectly helpless, with
nearly his entire stock of eggs piled
upon his stomach and chest and both
his hands engaged in holding them
there.
Whether the farmer got out of the
scrape without breaking a lot of the
eggs, depOnent, after the manner of

FRIDAY, JANUARY IS.

As forecasted above, the lower house
refused to cut down the appropriation
for the common schools of the State,
Notwithstanding the enactment of the
constitutional amendment providing
that the poll taxes collected in the
counties shall be retained in the c0un-
ties for the use Of the common schools.
The bill as reported from the COM
mittee on appropriations was called up
in the house shortly before the noon
hour, and the debate lasted less than
an hour. The majority report favor
ed an appropriation of $1,125. 900, or
$125 900 less than the present annual
allowance, while the minority report,
signed by six members, favored the
original sum Of $1.250,O0 The latter
report was adopted and the bill passed
by q practically unanimous vote.
The passage OF this act makes about
81, ,550, 900. available for the common
schools each year, including the poll
tax collections. It is not believed that
the amount will be changed by the SEN
ate.
Quite a number Of bills were intro
duced III both bodies. the house calen-
dar now containing 14O measures and
the senate calendar about 100 meas
ures.

BY Way Of Contrast.

A very strong argument in favor OF
State repositories could have been
found last week by any one who could
have watched the janitors at the
building handling the bags of silver
that were shipped to the State treas.
urer's Office. Fifty-three thousand dol.
lars was sent up from the subtreasury
in New Orleans to the State treasury.
1t was all silver, and made macy large
sacks. In the first place it cost S53
to transport the money from New Or

ling to get it to jackson. 1t took q
wagon and q good pair of horses to
haul it from the express ofiice to the
capitol, and after 1t was landed at
the capitol it required force Of i've
negroes about three hours to Move 10
from the wagon and stock it in the
vaults of the treasury. To see the ne
groes handling it In sacks, like it was
rice or meal, impressed many with
the awkwardness of the system.

Uniform fext Books.

No sort of fight seems to be antici.
pated on the school book question, and
bill providing fol- uniformity satis-
factory to all will doubtless be intro
duced and passed. There is no lobby
on the ground. Indeed, the lobbyist
does not seem to be here at this ses.
sion for any purpose, and the members
of the legislature will apparently have
no annoyance from this source.

1t is apparent that no change will
be made to the back tax laws further
than to raise the limit from 1885 up
to 1895, as suggested by the revenue
agent The general sentiment of the
legislature is to have the back taxes
collected where they have escaped the
assessors. and the revenue agent will
not be iaterfered with.

The comment Of the country press
last week on the action of the legis.
lature in instructing the two United
States senators from Mississippi to
vote for the ratification of the Panama
treaty is generally quite cordial in
tone. although some surprise IL ex-
pressed that this action should have
teen taken 30 early In the session,
and provoked 30 little debate. The
Quickness with which the legislature
acted is regarded as quite significant,
indicating that sentiment exists In
this State to the effect that the CO
nal should be built % speedily as pos
sible. and that the sooner congresq

Will Be a Fight to the Finish.

VIII Be Fight to the Finish.
The prohibitionists are very active
and very determined to push the pro-
posed constitutional amendment max.
ing the sale of liquor unconstitutional.
The committee having the matter in
charge will meet this week, and will
adopt the proposed amendment, which
is to be introduced at an early date.
The prohibitionists claim a majority
of each house, but there are indica-
tions of vigorous and determined op-
position and the measure will not have
the smooth sailing anticipated.

To Protect Game.

Several bills have already been in
troduoed making more stringent regu.
lations tor the protection of game.
There seems to be a strong sentiment
for prohibiting the wholesale slaugh.
ter of game, and some measure along
this line will undoubtedly be passed.
Combined with it there will be a pro-
vision also for protecting the nom
game birds and animals from ruth
less slaughter.

Their Own Personal Property.

They had just bought a piano and
were proud of it, says the Philadel-
phia Press. Materfamilias, fair, fat
and forty, was ensconced in a COM
Portable chair in the parlor Of her
new house, when the doctor called on
a purely social visit. It was just dusk
and the white keys of the new piano
in the corner reflected the rays of
light from the open fireplace. There
was no other light in the room. or
perhaps the doctor might have done
better.

THURSDAY, JANUARY II.

Only the lower house of the legis-
lature was in session today, the SEN
ate being absent on junketing trip
to the new Sunflower convict farm.
The feature of the house session was
the report of the committee on ap-
preparations regarding the annual ap-
preparation for the support of the COM
mon schools, and recommending that
$1,125,O0O, not including the poll taxes
retained in the counties where collect
ed, be set aside for this purpose.
For the first time this session a
minority committee report was SUBJ
mitted, signed by six members, Messrs.
D. L. Ross, G. S. Stevens, T. E. Will
liams, T. E. Caruthers, J. E. Caradine
and S. N. Collier, and. somewhat
strange to relate, the minority favored
a larger appropriation than the ma
jority, urging that $1,25O,0O0 be set
aside as al annual allowance for the
schools, which is the same figure as
that for the past two years.
The minority report recites that the
amount recommended by the majority
fok the constitutional period of four
for cutting down the amount, in view
the State. The opinion largely pre-
walls that the minority report will be
adopted. The bill will be called up for
passage at an early date.
Mr.. Greaves offered a bill to amend
Section 1892 of the Code, in reference
to the unlawful sale of liquors, SO as
to increase the penalty and make the
imprisonment mandatory.
Nothing further of special interest
developed during the day, and the
house adjourned until Friday.

TUESDAY, JANUARY ~.


The only notable feature of the
morning session of the legislature was
the opening of the returns and the
election held in November.
The returns were submitted to
Speaker Thomas by Secretary of State
Power, and after the list of State Of
ficials had been read a1d the election
ratified, attention was given to the
special election held to fill the vacancy
in the Supreme Court clerkship by the
death of Capt. E. W. Brown, and nomi-
nations for the place, in accordance
with the provisions of the constitution
requiring election in the house, were
called for. Only two of the candidates
who participated in the special elec-
ton submitted their names-Hon.
George c. Meyers of Marshal, and w. J.
Brown of Kinds.
A vice voce vote was taken after
a short debate and Mr.. Meyers was
elected by vote of 95 to %.
The only feature of the senate ses-
sion was the announcement OF the list
of committees prepared by Lieut-Gov.-
elect Carter, and the favorable recon-
mendation made by the committee or,
the concurrent resolution to insert the
aW0luu0HL " 60ClAOA 1VO, sOsO~ ARo'A
last November, in the constitution.
A large number of bills, covering
a wide variety of subjects were in
trOduced in both houses.
THE Committees at Work.
The standing committees of the leg
1slature have been announced and
both houses will now settle down to
active business. The coming days OF
the session will be replete with the
routine grind, and at the very outset
the committees have much work be-
fore them. At yesterdays session for
ty-five bpls were introduced in the
house and twenty-five in the senate.
making q total Of ninety-seven meas
ures that have been offered up to date.
Careful consideration was given the
ablest members In forming the COM
mittees. and q pleasing feature OF the
house list is the recognition accorded
Hon. S. NJ. Smith. OF Holmes. who was
the chief opponent of Hon. e. N Thorn
as for the speaker1hip. and the mem
bers are much gratihed that the con-
test engendered no personal feelings,
- Mr.. Smith IS one of the ablest mem
bGEs Of the body.
