A STRONG LAW FIRM.

Ex-Gov. A. Ell. Longino and Hon.
P. Willing, Jr., OF Hazelhurst, have
formed a law partnership and will
open a law office at Jackson, Miss, on
the first of next month.
The Ex-Gov. is a lawyer of well
known ability. He was a very sue
cessful practitioner before his APP
pointment as Chancellor, in which po-
Sition he gave marked evidence of a
breadth of culture in the law that put
him among the first in rank OF his pro-
feSsion. Since then. by position and
association, he has had a fine oppor-
tunity for the cultivation of his pro-
feSsional talent. Mr.. Willing is one of
the strong members of Copiah
county'S bar and he and the Ex-exe-
cuBiye will make a combination that
will constitute one of the strongest
law firms in the State. Mr.. Willing
will also resides in Jackson.

PRESIDENT ROOsEVELTs INAUGURAL
ADDRESS.

President Roosevelt treated the
country to another surprise on March
4, by making an inaugural address,
not only remarkable for it's pungency
and power of thought, as well as
rhetorical finish, but for it's brevity.
However, he covered everything that
was really necessary to be said and
was broad in his proclamationS of love
of country and his abiding interest in
the welfare of the whole people. Those
who had hoped for a somewhat parti-
san address and a rasp at suffrage
conditions in the South, certainly
must have been much disappointed.
Like all of his utterances, he never
forgot the ideal citizenship and his
eHdeaVors to point to higher and no.
bier things.
For the sake Of the people and the
good OF those that are to come after
as, it is hoped that his administration
will be to the whole country all that
his inaugural would presage.

MUCH TALKED ABOUT.

Judge Cochran Of the Meridian dis
trict is making himself much talked
about. W. have not the pleasure of
an acquaintance with him and do not
know anything about his ability as a
lawyer, but we do know that he has
been exercising some mighty good
common sense since his elevation to the
bench. He has been using every pre-
rogative of his exalted position to OBJ
tain good juries-those able to analyze
testimony and the instructions OF the
~court-and TO this end he has several
times read a lecture to the Boards of
Supervisors, in the different counties
OF his district, about their lack of care
In placing names in the jury boxes,
and on more than one occasion he has
reprimanded juries for returning a
verdict entirely out of harmony with
the law and the evidence.
To maintain the dignity of the
courts and our respect for their find
ings, we must have good and compe-
tent jurieS. Ii anything, good juries
are more necessary than good judges.
Below we give a few press comments
about Judge Cochran:
Judge Cochran, of the Meridian dis
trict, is considerably in the lime light
these days. In a letter to the sheriff
of Noxubee county he told him to Sc
lect only good men for the recent term
of the circuit court. There is no ques-
ton but that Il jury system is in
many respects a farce, but this was
certainly a novel way to remedy the
evil.-Columbus Dispatch.
Yes, the Judge has put himself in
the lime light and has done such a star
stunt since his appointment to the
bench it is a matter of wonder down
here what kind of a bee is buZzing in
his bonnet,-whether it is the United
States Senatorship, whether he yearns
to succeed Gov. Vardaman or whether
it is Congressman Byrd'S place he
would like to eli .-Noxubee Herald.
If he should aspire to something
higher we guarantee his opponent
would have to get a Nancy Hanks
gait on him to win out in the final
wind up.-DeKalb Star.
All of which misses the real point,
which is the securing of juries fit for
their function, to the end that justice
may be done and the law enforced,
The Star is not the keeper of Judge
Cochran's conscience MOI his father
confeSsor; but we do believe that his
present single ambition is to give to
the Tenth district a creditable judicial
adminiStration-and if this keeps him
in the lime light his reputation is only
Illuminated by the process Meridian
Star.

GEN. MILES AND THE STACKING OF
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

The more there, is said and written
about General Miles order to have
Jefferson Davis shackled while Mr..
Davis was a prisoner at Fortress, Mon
roe, the worse it appears for Miles
and the more the brutality of the act
is apparent.
We admit that it is unfair to pass
Judgment upon a man or any p%articu-
lar act of his without considering his
surroundings and the atmosphere of
public sentiment at that time. And
in extenuation of the act it can be
said for Miles that the wal had just
closed. Lincoln, but a few weeks be-
fore, had been aSSaSSinated and Sec
tional feeling was high. But Miles
gives a recent evidence of the subtlety
Of his nature by pleading something
that the records do not show, almost
forty years after the occurrence, and
too, when his superior officers have
passed into the silent shades of the
night from whence no travellers re-
turn" He quotes a letter from Mrs.
Davis, written him when the good
lady had no knowledge of the great
indignity he had inflicted upon her
distinguished husband.
Until the recent discussion of this
matter and the publication Of the let
tiers already referred to, we had thought
that General Miles had hardly had far
treatment by President Roosevelt and
his administration, but we confess now
that he knew the man better than we
did and his shelving of Miles is only
another evidence Of the cleannesS of
the President and of his determination
to be surrounded by only the best
men.
Miles is a man of coarse nature, and
at the time President Davis was i'm
his custody, he had an inflated idea of
his Importance, and thought perhaps
such an order necessary in order that
his exalted position(? might be real
fzed. But the discussion of these
matters now .can do no good. COld
wounds will be opened, so we think it |
better for both parties to say no more. |
The country at large understands
Miles pretty we'll anyway.

ANOTHER SCANDAL.

There will be another scandal in
washington society tonight. Ted
dy Roosevelt, whose inauguration
takes place today, has ordered that
no color line be drawn in the sale OF
tickets TO the inaugural ball, and ne
gro women are buying them eagerly.
1t was hoped by some people that
Mr.. Roosevelt was sincere in his pro-
feSsions OF good will towards the
South, but tonight's scandal will no
doubt open their eyes. 1t will show
them that the President is ready toin-
suit the dccency and self respect, not
only OF the South, but the entire
American people, at all times, and
never loses an opportunity to do so.
There has been a great deal of none-
sense in the Southern papers about
the President and his good will and
fairness toward the South since the
election, but we hope after tonigh's in
cident a long suffering public will get
a little rest from such S~enselesS twad-
liz .-Southern Statesman.
The above does not sound like the
utterance of the able editor Of the
Southern Statesman. First, we are
not sure that he is sure that RooSe-
velt had anything at all to say con-
corning the sale of the tickets to the
inaugural ball. Second, he makes
much of an occurrence that we are
confident has happened many times
before. AS we understand the situa-
tion, those who have charge of inaug-
ural balls are in the business for reve-
nue. strictly, aud the President person
ally has nothing to do with the selling
OF tickets. The sellers of tickets, we
rather suspect, have never had a color
line. and we repeat that we feel sure
that unwelcome guests have obtruded
their presence on other similar occa-
sions. While we do not approve of
that eagerneSs for revenue that gives
the ticket vendors an itching palm
for the dollar from whatever source,
and while we think it quite in order
for papers to condemn this policy,
yet, on the other hand we think il
high time to call a halt upon using
every little incident where there is a
niger in it" to nourish the political
life OF a few politicians. The people
are entitled to something better from
the press. 1t is understood, and is
a fully accepted fact that the white
man must and will have supremacy:
so why continue this prating about
something that merely kindles the
flames Of pa"rtisanship and puts the
South in the attitude OF fearing the
saddling OF something upon us, that
we, as reasonable beings, know will

A NAN OF SILENCE.

Considering the many things that
have been said about him, mostly un-
complimentary of late years, the Hon.
Edgar S. Wilson, OF Jackson, has
maintained a magnificent equipoise,
which has really been unequalled in
political history OF the State.
Mr.. Wilson was formerly a news
paper man and was open and above
board in all his expressions. But I'M
der a CALLING fire, he has been aggra-
vatingly silent much to the cnagrin
of his enemies.
When the Democrats declared for
free silver, Mr.. Wilson became a gold
Democrat" and without announce
ment of a change of party, he was of
fered the position of the United States
Marshal for the Southern District OF
Mississippi, and SO favorably did he
impress President Roosevelt that he
was made referee in this State.
The Item is not attempting to en-
logic Mr.. Wilson, but it believes in
giving credit where credit is due. To
him, more than any other man, is due
the fact that Mississippi has a fine lot
of Federal officials, SO per cent of them
white and more than so per cent of
them Democrats, counting the post
offices.
Among these appointments car be
found no ScalawagS or carpetbaggerS.
Old confederate soldiers, their widows
and their daughters fill many of the
postoffices.
These people were recommended by
Mr.. Wilson who is a white man and a
native of Mississippi.
There are, it is said, unpublished
kindly acts of Mr.. Wilson which would
surprise some people.
Suppose a negro or some disreput-
able white mar had been appointed
referee, who could tell what the har-
vest would have been?
The Item does not agree with Mr..
Wilson about the Indianola poStoffice
affair, but it must be remembered
that the closing of that office was
recommended by Democratic Inspector
who was a strong Bryan Democrat.
This much is said in justice to Mr..
Wilson. All Of us have our faults
Mr.. Wilson is human and may have
erred IN some things, but he is a true

PLAIN TALK TO GRAND JURY.

There seems to be a demand, from
many quarters throughout the State
for a better enforcement of law. Judge
Miller did some plain talking i'm de-
lfvering his charge to the grand jury
on last Monday at Jackson. Among
other things he said:
Crime stalks throughout our land
and no nan can say that he is safe.
Its baleful shadow has fallen athwart
this court when n of it's official fami-
~ was removed by a shock which rang
out on the night air two weeks g at
Raymond, when the brave spirit of
John White went to his reward. l do
not call your attention to this crime
for you to investigate it, because Il
happened in the other district, but to
show you how cheap is human life. 1t
is entirely too cheap in Mississip-
pi. 4 y
Human life is entirely too cheap
in this State and district. Six men
have been killed in this district in the
last two weeks, four white and two
colored. Within a very short time
the district attorney has prosecuted
in this district five men who murdered
women who were their wives: two
were white and three were black: so
you will see that all the crime is not |
confined to negroes
