REFLECTS ON THE LAWYERS.

In reading the proceedings OF the
legislature, as published in the daily
press, we note that the state senate
On Tuesday adopted q section, which
is to be incorporated in the new Code,
that seeks to prevent anyone other
than a practicing lawyer, from writ
ing "a bill OF sale, deed Or convey
ance or deed of trust" unless the
party so writing same Is individually
s~nterested. We most earnestly pro-
test against the passage Of any such
alaw and we think that its enact
ment would reflect seriously upon the
bar of the state, and further, it would
give force to that sentiment pregnant
IL the minds OF many people that no
,llwyer should be sent to the legiSla-
tnre Perhaps the primary design OF
the law is to take care Of the large
number of new lawyers, about which
we frequently hear the profession
complain. that are being promiScuous-
Is licensed in the state. But regard
less of the motives prompting the
passage Of the law, it is wrong in prin-
eiple as we'll as in theory. A man
should be allowed to employ whomSo-
ever he chooses to execute a certain
task or to discharge certain duties.
bad just as well say that every citi-
I'm should be forced to contribute a
certain amount annually to the sup
port Of the lawyers.
In the days that are gone by al
most every contract and every lease,
as we'll as every conveyance Of any
kind, was drawn by an attorney, but
now many laymen possess the intelli-
gence and the knowledge Of the re-
quirements Of such instruments to
prevent their invoking the aid OF law
JerS and hence many dollars formerly
paid attorneys are converted into
other channels.
The rules Of procedure before the
courts, especially the chancery court,
are so full OF intricacieS that a lay
man can scarcely present a simple &C
count without feeling a lawyer. This is
bad enough. and then to prescribe by
statute that none but lawyers shall
write deeds, ETC., is intolerable and we
believe that the best lawyers OF the
state will not stand for any such a
fhing.

AT BOTH ENDS OF THE LINE.

Congressman Humphreys will win
the gratitude OF all Mississippians,
loyal to the good name OF the state, II
he can get through congress the bill
introduced by him and recently favor
ably reported by the ways and means
committee Of the house, requiring in.
ternal revenue collectors to furnish
district attorneys with the list OF
those persons in the state holding fed
eral license to sell w~hiskey. There
are something near five hundred OF
such licenses o being held in Mis-
sissippi, and the state law already
makes the possession of such a license
prima facie evidenced of guilt.
In addition to the above, Hon. John
Sharp Williams has introduced a bill,
which is being considered by the
Ways and Means Committee that
seeks to prohibit c. O. d. whiskey
shipments into prohibition counties.
They are both good bills and with
congress working at the blind tiger
evil at one end of the line and the
legislature at the other the tiger ven
dor will find a more pleasant habitat
in other chimes.

LOOKS BETTER.

BY a reference To our news columns
it will be seen that something has
prompted and embdldened the legisla-
ture to put on the breaks and curtail
some Of the large appropriations that
are being asked for by the state edu-
cational institutions. 1t Is time. The
poor and those of limited means rarely
enjoy the opportunities that these
colleges AFFORD. But aside from this,
sound business demands that the leg
isiature resist the insistent demands
Of those who are running these insti-
tutionS. As we heard one Of our
prominent citizens, a trustee Of one
Of the states eleen,osyDary institu-
tionS, say a few days ago, that the
state had gone crazy with regard to
the needs and demands Of these COL
leges.
The minority report presented by
the committee appointed by the legis-
lature to investigate conditions at the
University, I. I. & c. and A. & M.
College at Starkville, contains this
startling statement: 1858, 600, 600,
which shows that these Institutions
are costing GIG per cent more than
they did twelve years ago, or an aver
age increase of SO per cent per year"
Upon the whole we think conditions
look better and Argues we'll for the
future.

A Washington Special says: Edgar
S. Wilson has won in the fight for
United States marshal for the South
ern District OF Mississippi, and his
confirmation is now as a mere matter
of detail.
The subcommittee. Of the Senate
judiciary Committee, which has had
the charges against Mr.. Wilson under
investigation for some time, made a
favorable report to the full committee
this afternoon and the judiciary Com
mittee has decided to recommend his
confirmation.
The action Of the committee was a
neat compliment to Mr.. Wilson as
there was not a dissenting vote on the
question of making q favorable report.
The final act in this case probably will
take placetomorrow, when the Sem
ate, in executive session, is expected
to adopt the report Of the committee.
Mr.. Wilson, who has been here sew
eral days, will depart for Jackson in a
day or two. This is his second term
as United States marshal, and he is
well known to the president and other
administration Official sunpon whom he
has made q favorable impression.
His confirmation was never in
doubt, but Mr.. Wilson and his friends
urged q thorough investigation Of the
charges, which has resulted in his
complete exoueration.

Bishop Charles B. Galloway, one OF
Mississippl's greatest and best men,
and the one, who, perhaps more than
any other man, has directed the
movement that has almost made the
legal sale OF whiskey In Mississippi a
thing Of the past, In discussing the
G. y. d. whiskey traffic, a few DAYS
ago. had the following to say:
"Since the decision OF Judge Niles
On the injunction suits, which l of
course accept as the proper interpre-
tatiOn Of existing laws, it is necessa-
ry that something be done by our leg.
iSlature to strengthen the existing
laws regulating liquor traffic, and to
save our prohibition communities from
this illicit traffic which is being dump.
ed into the state. Any measure that
can possibly be framed that will sup
press the trade should be placed on
the statutes. We should do this to
save our self-respect as MiSsissippian,,
if for no other reasons.
Second, every friend Of moral re-
form should give endorsement and
lend every possible assistance and sup
port to the bills introduced in Con-
gress by U representatives, Messrs
Williams and Humphreys, and which
strikea vital blow at the evil Of which
we are now suffering.
II am Informed that the House Ju-
dietary Committee will meet at WASH
ington On the 21st of February to con
slider these measures offered by our con-
gresham. A strong whiskey lobby is
being maintained at Washington to
defeat the proposed laws, bet the tenn
perance advocates are also active, and
l hope that a favorable action will be
taken.
In the meantime, we should have
a large attendance at the mass meet
ing at the state house next Thursday
night, in order to give a full express
sion to the sentiment that our own
people have on this subject"

IS HONESTY WANING7

Many people, reading Of the scam
aalS attaching to the insurance COM
panieS, the departments in the nation
al government, the city administra-
lions, ETC., become very much asham-
ed at the immense number OF the in
stances of dishonesty among u peo-
pie. We have heard not a few cry
cut that all honor is dead. We re-
gret to hear any one express such an
Opinion, not only because such a view
is quite erroneous, but because Of the
evil effects such expressions nave upon
the unthinking.
AS a matter Of fact, the shock a.
Mong our people that is apparent
when the cases of dishonesty are re-
yealed, is an evidence Of a high sense
et honor among our citizenship.
Again it appears to us that the fact
that this wrong-d0ing is being ferret
ed out is evidence of an awakened in
telligence and an aroused conscience
on the part Of our people. Never be-
fore has it been SO apparent that
honesty is the best policy. Some n
will say that much Of the honesty on
the part of our leaders is merely as
Snmed, but the fact that the leaders
are forced to assume this role is
proof that they are responding to a
sentiment that is powerful. We are
glad that we still have faith in the
final supremacy of5good over evil, and
that we think we see all about us SUBJ
stance upon which u faith may
feed. Let not our older men teach
she younger that there is no honor,
anlesS they would have the world
abandon its principles.

Anunfortunate and delicate situa-
tio1 c%onfronts the democrats Of the U.
s. Senate in reference to the Santo Do
mingo treaty. The situation evinces
bad leadership. Certainly tardy ac-
tiOn was taken as to- the democratic
position and we a but admire the
brave and manly stand Of Senator
Patterson who YefaSes to he bound by
party caucas. He bad publicly taken
his position without any intimatiOn
that the treaty vas TO be made a par
ty question and we think it an unwise
policy that he should be politically os-
tracised by bis fellow democrats.

Grenada s growth and how much it
has recently beautifed, continues to
be q subject of general discussion
among the travelling public who come
among US. What has been Done is
only an initial step in what Grenada
is going to do. Outside OF the deter
mination of u people to make Of our
splendid little city, one Of the most
attractive and desirable resident towns
in the state, several other good things
that will materialize within the next
twelve months are in store for us in a
business way. There is everything to
make our people proud Of Grenada,
and to labor diligently for a great
future.

A Jackson special says: When the
House COMMITTEE on Appropriations
finished trimming the university ap-
preparation bill last evening the mea-
sure was in an almost unrecOgnizable
shape.
Every special allowance asked by
the university trustees for a new build
ings, extensions, ETC., was stricken
out, and the committee allows the uni
versity only its regular support fund.
aud a few thousand dollars for repairs,
The items asked for and refused ale

mems dormitory, $50, 900; women's
dormitory, $50, 900; residences for
professors, $24, 900; repairs on old
buildings, new apparatus, $37, 1885;
total amount rejected by committee,
S1Sl,735.
The committee allowed the sum Of
only 50, 250 for repairs on old build
ingS, new apparatus, etc. The items
in the measure approved by the body
were as follows: Current expense
fund, $50, 900; interest on original
seminary fund, S95, 1856; interest on
1894 land grant fund, s19,413.1S; in
| surance on buildings, 50. 900.
The Committee on Appropriations is
in session this afternoon, and similar
treatment will be accorded to the bill
for support of the Mississippi A. & NJ.
| College. In fact. it has already been
decided by a majority Of the men,
| bers to strike out the following items:
New chapel and academic building,
800, 900; new equipment mechanical
department and boiler room, SIS, 900.
| Other allowances asked not included
in the regular support fund which
| will be subject to review are as fol-
lows: Equipment for department Of

The annual allowance asked by the
a. & NJ. for support is $50, 083.21,
with S14, 387 25 for interest on the ag-
ricultural land script fund. The col
lcg,, however, has some sources of
evenue from the national govern
ment. The allowance Of $40, 600 for
farmers institutes during the next
two years will doubtless be granted.
