otherwise at an adjourned meet
ing" beg to recommend that, un-
der existing local conditions, the
number of colored voters being
very small, such a step is deemed
inexpedient and unnecessary, and
should be indefinitely postponed.
Respectfully submitted,
B. f. GOZA.
After this report had been
adopted as above, III. Cassidy Of
fered the following resolution,
which was adopted without dis
senting voice:
Resolved, That we, the citizens
of Brookhaven, in mass meeting
assembled. re-afiirm our allegiance
to the white people of the State of
Mississippi and the South, in their
determination that the white peo-
pie shall govern this Nation, this
State, this county and this munic-
ipality, and we condemn the pol
itician who holds out hopes to the
negro that he shall govern, and
for purposes of his own, incites
him to attempt to defeat this
white mans resoIye. We submit
that any agitation of the subject,
unless the dangers of negro su-
premacy be imminent, is unwise,
and calculated to oring about the
evils which should be avoided. IL
is therefore tile sense Of this meet
ing that If d political party is to
be organized, that il be done after
the election.
On motion the meeting then adj
journed.

TIME TO OONSIDER.

The legislators have gone home for
a few days They will have ample
time before they return 10 consider
what they have done and what they
have not done. They will have the
most food for thought on the latter
subject 1t will not take Il long time
to 20 over the list Of important things
they have done. Outside of three or
four bills none of the bills that have
been passed have been of real import
ance 10 the State. The rest of them
are important to only few perons in
each case, or else of little worth to
any body.
In round numbers it costs the State
of Vermont thousand dollars a day
to run the Legislature. Up to date the
session has been of forty-hve days
duration. In other words it has cost
$40 600 to secure the performance of
such work as has been done so far.
Do the members think that their SER
vices have been worth that sum? Can
they see III the Heterogeneous collec-
ton of bills and resolutions which
they have considered and have actual
ly passed upon, sufficient value to be
due return to the State for the ex-
pense they have made it ? Perhaps
they can. If SO, they are likely not
to find the entire State in accord with
their views.
Probably this Legislature is rec.
ord breaker so far as the number of
bills introduced is concerned. and in
all fairness it must be acknowledged

AN ATTORNEY GENERAL.

The bill creating the office of at
torney general has passed and has
become law by the approval of the
Governor. The attorney general is
to be elected this year by the Legis-
lature, and in subsequent years by the
people the same as the secretary of
State. His salary is to be SO, 600 and
necessary expenses and his duties man.
fold, he being designated as counsel
for all of the State officers and COM
missions, to have general superintend-
ence over the criminal prosecutions,
to attend in person to the more i'm
portant cases, and to act as counsel in
practically any way that he may be
called upon for the benefit of officials
or Legislators. His duties will not be
light. If he does his work well he
will be one of the hardest worked
lawyers in the State and will earn
every cent of his salary, if not even
more.
The first thing to do now is to elect
a competent man for the Office The
first time, of all times, the man cbos-
en- should be pre-eminently qualified
for the Office. He should be not
simply good jury advocate, and ac-
customed to and skillful in the trial
of criminal causes, but above all he
should be lawyer of wide experience
in the larger affairs of the State. He
should have a thorough knowledge of
corporation law, inasmuoh as it is in
corporate affairs that he will be most
reeded as counsel. lie should be a
lawyer of eminenoe ana reputation
so that he will not need to rely on the
prestige which the Office will lend
him to give confidence in his opin-
ions.

that numerous measures Of real merit
are among the mass of worthless and
unimportsnt matter that has been cast
into the legislative pot. 1t is not
what is proposed but what is done
that counts, however, and on that
score no very great honor can be TAX
en- as yet. The closing days of the
session should be more profitable in
accomplishment. A few days visit
with constituents and observation as
to the sentiment of the people should
not tend to make the Legislators any
less anxious to close up their work by
passing certain bills that will rebound
to their credit and the good of the
State.

Illinois has recently passed a law
against convict labor. AS result
about 400 prisoners who are confined
at the penitentiary in Joliet are idle.
They can be given only compare
lively small amount of exercise
When those prisoners have served
out their sentences they will be turned
loose after SO long an experience with
enforced idleness that they will be
untitled for the labors Of free citizens.
1t seems that, while there is much to
be said against the employment Of
convict labor, the interests of the State
are more likely to be injured through
keeping prisoners idle than through
making them work. Prison reform
throws its whole influence on the side
of work, for nothing so helps in the
building up of a man as the teaching
of an honest and respectable trade to
that man-such a one as he can use
when he is freed.

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Company has paid back the last dollar
of the loan of 81, 600. 600 which the
United States government extended to
it when it called for a second time for
aid, This is doing well-better than
was expected probably. but it is not to
be forgotten that the government has
given aid besides tins loan. A
straight appropriation of SIS, 600, 600
went to the St, Louis fair previously.
so the repayment of the loan does not
prove that the fair is making money.
Big fairs never do make money.
That is not what they are run for.
individuals connected with them make
money but the fair proper, never.
