Brownsville Affair.
Soon after the senate met Senator
;Foraker's resolution providing for an
inquiry by the senate into the dis
charge Of the negro troops of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry on account Of
the Brownsville, Tex, episode was laid
before the senate and Senator Gull

ject. He said that he would have kept
quiet but for the fact that great in
justice had been done the people of
Brownsville. Mr.. Culberson said chat
the conduct Of the negro soldiers had
been very irritating to the Browns
vile people and especially to the wom-
en-. He related thar on August 4 last,
the day before the Shooting up" Of
the town a criminal assault had been
committed by one of the soldiers on
the wife Of reputable citizen and
said that no arrests had been made
for this crime.

Neill and Holly Springs, $21 900.
These are only the mora impor-
tant items. 1t will be seen that the
larger expense by far is for educa-
ton. Adding the amounts expended
for the common schools, high schools,
together with 100000 interest on
Chickasaw school fund, $1,000 for
summer normals, I. I. and C. endow-
ment, etc., the total is above ST., 700,-
900 per year. To this should also be
added the salary Of II county super
intcndents and the special tax in sep
arate school districts. Mississippi is
making a fine record in the way Of
educating her youth, better than any
other southern state and a larger par
Of the northern states. The next
item in Importance is for the support
of ex-confederatc soldiers who are
without the means of caring for
themselves. In this item $250,000
is paid direct and $4,000 at the
home. There are few indeed VINO
would advocate the curtailing Of this
expense. The penitsntiary shows on
the face a large item Of expense but
this Is Offset by revenues derived
amounting 70 something like 100000
in net profits each year. This is over
the $4,000 Of expense. The A. &
M. College which together with the
several experiment stations, expend
about $l39,000 annually, but the ex-
excellent work being done is sufficient
sause for continueing the appropria-
ton. While it is necessary to expend
large sum TO keep thes wheels Of
the government moving, our. state is
in very prosperous condition and
the Increase in taxable values does
not require an increase in the tax
rate. AS the state progresses, the
expense of maintenance will be nee
essarily increased, but the tax rate
should be held down by increased
values.

Appropriation Bills.

In the two months prior to adj
journment congress will consider and
vote upon appropriation bills aggre-
eating $250,O00,000, and this will
leave very little time for the taking
up OF other measures.
1t is reasonably certain that an
anti-injunction bill will be passed.
An amendment which will defeat the
purpose of the bill, so far as the
protection of union labor is concerned
will be added before the bill is finally
passed by the house. The original
measure demanded by the American
Federation Of Labor provides that 10
injunction shall be issued until notice
has been served on the adverse par
ties and they have been given an
opportunity to be heard.
The eight hour law for the amelio-
ration Of labor will be passed by the
house.

Despite the declaration Of q few

the days Of play which save him from
being dull boy, the work Of the
session will begin with a rush.
That the closing session will be
marked by warfare between The
president and certain members Of his
party in the senate is now certain.
Senator Foraker, Of Ohio, the true
friend OF the trusts, will be the lead

SENsELESS RESOLUTIONS.

There is no greater exhibition of nom
sense than the too prevalent 'Resolu-
ton Of Coincidence" the lodges usually
spread upon their minutes at the death
of member. We have just read one.
1t says;
Recognizing an advise Providence
in the affairs of men, and bowling sub
missively 10 the will Of Him who doeth
all things well and that, while we de-
plore the sad taking off and earthly
loss, we recognize the eternal gain"
The deceased was a comparatively
young man, active in doing work along
benevolent lines, and in his death
leaves bereaved family. He was a
moral man, sober and clean in his daily
life. But according to the resolutions
his death was a wise thing. If so,
WHY then "deplore the sad taking off
and earthly loss?" Why commend
the work Of the Almighty and then
condemn it7
Not long ago we attended funeral.
The deceased was the head Of
family, and his death left several child
rem to make their own way, to struggle
against liie's battles without the help Of
father. By no manner Of reasoning
could one well say that the removal Of
this father was matter over which
even an all-wise Providence was deserv-
ing special commentator and praise.
There was probably not a member Of
the order 10 which this man belonged
who believed his death was blessing.
You could not listen to the heart
broken sobs Of those little ones, and
contemplate their future with such a
feeling. But when the committee
wrote the resolutions OF coincidence
there was the usual nonsense. 1t was
simply calling Divine Providence a
murderer.
God never murdered any man and

GETTING ITS JUST DUES.

The citizens OF Moscow are to be
congratulated upon their action in re-
iusing support to the Moscow Evening
Journal and the Mirror. The
Journal publishers are getting exactly |
what they deserve. Starting out with
clear field and fine plant this paper
pursued a policy so detrimental to
Moscow and every industry OF that
community that it Immediately aroused
the determined opposition OF scores OF
the best citizens. Not only did the
Journal fail to work for the upbuilding
OF Moscow but its policy was positive
damage. Nothing escaped its malig-
nant touch. No citizen was free from
its attacks unless he quietly submitted
to blackmail. The greedy hand Of
graft was ever outstretched, while the
same power waved over the heads Of its
victim threats OF ruin and malicious
attacks. It's columns rocked with scan
dai; its pages overlooked with bitter
personal fights and petty grievances OF
citizens who, egged on by the Journal,
aired their personal grievances. The
splendid public schools Of Moscow,
credit to any city, were dragged into
the mire. The attack went farther.
The State University, because the
Journal was not given all printing at a
fat figure, was sneared at, and every
thing that depraved, malignant,
dwarfed soul and a disordered mind
could invent was magni6ed till they
threatened the institution. Papers in
other parts OF the state OF Idaho were
not acquainted with the Journal. The
citizens of Idaho didn't understand the
motive. And. so Moscow suffered, but
her citizens were patient. They stood
It because they had to. But they did
the most potent thing they could; they
withdrew all patronage. The business
men OF the town stopped their subscrip-
tons and took out their ads. They
placed the Journal where it has been
losing financial proposition. They put
1t on the bum, and by the looks OF the
advertising calumns OF the paper it is
still there. Moscow citizens are not
an unappreciative lot Of men. They
have pride in their town and have
much to be proud Of. Possibly no
other town Of equal size in the west
can show longer list Of good things
accomplished by the generosity and
public spirit Of the business men. The
Journal had an opportunity to assist in
this work. There was urgent need
and broad field for useful, helpful ac-
ton. But it turned its back, exposing
the hand of greed and graft, and
gave the public to under tand that
it worked for revenue only. No
wonder the Journal management has
tried to sell their business and leave
the town. They have played losing
game and if we mistake not we can see
the beginning OF the end.

Idaho has a very strict law compell-
ing all children OF school age to attend
school. Where this law is not strictly
complied with there ought to be
something done. Where children fail
to attend their classes the parents
should be promptly notified by the
teachers. The marshal should also be
promptly informed and the boys arrest
ed. Parents are liable for heavy fine
for violation Of this truency law.
And the law is being violated.

the lodge should quite making such
charge. II they are not pleased the
death OF member they should stop
their nonsense about it. What the AL
mighty has done is to set the universe
rolling down through the ages gov
erned by natural laws, and man, from
the cradle to the grave, is subject to
these great, immutable, never-chang-
ing rules. The violation Of these lawsis
as certain to entail punishment as life
itself. If death follows it is not
reasonable to lay the blame at the feet
of Providence. Typhoid fever is the
result OF filth. If death results why re-
solve that we bow submissively to the
will OF Him who doeth all things we'll?
Resolutions Of coincidence are entirely
proper but some common sense ought
TO be used in their making. If you
really believe the Lord has done welp'
in removing from our midst fellow
being do not "deplore" His action in
the next line. Even in death let US
be consistent.

There is no better way to teach
children kindness and to bring them
up to be respectable men and women
then to teach them kindness to dumb
animals. The boy that has feeling Tor
dumb creature will not grow up to
be very bad man. 1t is the chap
that finds pleasure in pulling the wings
from live flies; who injoys inhicting
pain on poor, helpless dog or little
kitten; and who can get sport out of
the torture Of helpless things, that will
grow up with heart for conduct lew
and unwholesome. Teach children
that even animals have feelings and
that it is our duty to have consideras
ton for them. The boy that does
isn't the sort that fills penitentiaries.
