An Appeal to the Begrudgers.

The heading t o this editorial is tht
most proper caption toa number of pc,
itical utterances that have been made
of late days in the gubernatonal cam
paign That mans success in the af-
fairs Of life should be used as an argu-
ment against him in a race for the gov
ernorship of Mississippi is neither com
pliment to the state nor to the individ
ual voters. It is best denominated as a
demogogic appeal to those who be-
gruige to other men the reward of hon
est and intelligent endeavor. 1t is no
empty syllogism, but the inevitable
| logic of that course of reasoning, to say
that in the philosophy Of these gentle
men, success in our State Of Mississippi
is to be attained only by questionable
methods, and even moderate wealth is
to be accumulated only at the cost Of
the censure of the populace, and the
giving up Of the hope for those honors
whose distribution lies with the people
Of the state.
No honorable citizen Of the state, it
is believed, can afford indeed none are
wilhng-to accede to that proposition
Blessed as we are with pleasant and
fruitful land, inhabited by worthy.
honest and industrious race of white
men and gentlemen, we offer here in
Mississippi the highest rewards and
honors to industry and good work in
every field Of labor, be it in the furrow
or in the office, in the world Of manual
labor or that Of intellectual effort, NThis |
is not the wild and woolly Kansas. nor
the tenement district Of New York and |
Chicago, but part Of the old dominion
Of the south, whose cotton planters and |
lawyers guided the affairs of the nation
for sixty years, and at the breaking out
Of the civil war, handed the federal gov /
eminent over to our enemies, without
as Jefferson Davis said in his farewell
speech in the Senate, "a single stair
iponits records,'a model to the world
If representative government"
A mans worth is not to be determined
by his wealth. neither by his poverty
The criterion by which the possible gcv
,rnor of our state is to adiudged is not
'MoNEYED. " The thing is-what has
lie done with his opportunities How
las he borne himself as man and as 2
itizen-not how much he is worth, or
low poor he is, Such inquiries as these
asst are insults to the intelligence and
integrity of the voters Honor lies IN

fhis inaugural speeches, and this sen
lment finds expression in the speeches

X-RAYs AND THE COLOR OF THE
 HAIR

Heightened augmentation of the hair is among the occasional effects of ex- posture to the Rontgen rays. At a re- cent meeting of the Paris Academy of Sciences Dr. A. Imbert and Dr. H. Mar ques reported certain observations bearing upon the matter. One of them selves having made frequent appliea- tion of the rays for a period of ten years, noticed that the hair of his head and of his beard, previously almost completely white, had progressively be- come so pigmented that it was of darker hue than it had been originally, and the change had been observed by other persons,
 In a subsequent instance these gentle men had seen a similar effect. It was that of a man fifty-five years old who was under treatment with the rays for lupus of the cheek. At first he lost the hair near the ear of the affected side, but it's place was taken by a new growth of hair, and near the ear the new hairs were almost completely black. This blaekness gradually shad- ed off as the distance from the ear in- creased but the pigmentation was dis cernible even in parts far removed. F1- nally the corresponding half Of the mans mustache became darker than the other half and without any previous falling out of the hair
 Tmbert and Marques add that in oth- CT cases they have observed deepen ing of the color of light hair under the influence of the Rontgen rays. They do not pretend to explain the meehan- ism of this action. It is to be presumed that the effect is witnessed only in hairy parts directly subjected to the ra- diation. but no specific information is given as to the circumstances of the application.-New York Medical Jour nal.
