the reason is not hard to find; but he
should consider that the senator is
under no obligation to further adver-
tise him and his paper. It should be
some consolation to him, however, to
remember that he has done no harm
and has given nobody the slightest
occasion for uneasiness. His expires.
sion Of opinion in regard to Senator
McLaurin's ability was not intended
to be flattering, but his Endorsement
is not in request. The opinion Of the
people Of Mississippi Is more to the
point By their suffrage he was
elected to the governors Office, and
he has been three times elected to the
United States senate. Such record
is not the result of an accident, and
he who holds it can we'll afford to de-
cline war Of words with an opponent
whose only conception of argument is
endless iteration.

Mr.. Henry Litchfield West, in
the current number of the Forum,
says that while the Roosevelt SEN
tlment is very largely embodied in
Mr.. Taft, it must not be overlooked
that sentiment does not always
produce results, as in these practi-
cal days it is organization that
counts effectively in politics, and
at the present time vice-president
Fairbanks has the most extensive
organization. Moreover, says Mr..
West, the vice-president is, alone
of the candidates, actively working
to secure the nomination. ''He
has his emissaries throughot the
South, where they have been in
conference with republican leaders;
and he has taken occasion to visit
some of the Western States in order
to confer personally with influential
men. 1t might be said that Mr..
Fairbanks occupies a most favora-
BILE position. He is not demonstra-
tive nor impulsive and he has few
enimies, while on the other hand,
his even tempered, genial DISPOSE
ton has made him host of friends.
He is regarded with favor by the
financial and commercial interests
who know that he is conservative
while he has always manifested a
spirit of friendiness and fairness

Very favorable reports of the
progress of Judge Truly's canvass
continue to reach us. The judge
seems to be gaining ground at
every stride on the homestretch.
His position in regard to the dis
tribution of the school fund is very
popular. His strong uncompro-
missing stand against an indiscrim-
mate admission of emigrants from
the Old World commends itself to
the great body Of intelligent Amer
lean citizens everywhere. His in
sistence upon a strict supervision
|of railroad management by the
Government is in line with the
prevalent demand of his party, and
of the voters in every quarter. of
the country. His knowledge of the
law, his record on the bench, may
be reckoned among his most evident
qualifications for the high office for
which he is a candidate. 1t is no
wonder that he shows up we'll in
the long race for the governorship.

The exporting interests of this
Country are crying loudly for relief
from the commerce-repressing
rates of the Dingley tariff. But
the cry "Give us a tariff or we
PERISH" says the New York Ma
ton, is much more appealing to
Congress than "Take away the
the tariff or we perish" For our
fiscal system works ION sort of a
ratchet which enables duties to be
raised at the simple turning of a
crank, but demands tremendous
amount of effort to let down even a
single cog"

Senator Mclaurin at viCksburg,

The editor of the Vicksburg Herald,
unreasonable as usual, complains that
his persistent efforts to attract at
tention were not discussed by Senator
McLaurin in his recent Vicksburg
speech. The senator spoke at Vicks-
burg, as he had already spoken at a
number Of other points during the
last few weeks in advocacy of an
elective judiciary. he took, it will
be remembered, q very prominent part
in the debate on that question in the
CONSTITUTE onal convention of 1890, and
though that body was unprepared to
take the step, the expediency of re-
turning to the elective system has
been rendered more and more evident,
from year to year, by the course Of
subsequent events. We remember that
Senator McLanrin's elaborate speech
on the subject, in the convention,
was very highly praised by compe-
tent critics at the time, and especially
by Senator George. The arguments
advanced in that speech hold good
today, and they have been reinforced
and emphasized by some lessons of
sad experience. The subject lie, there.
fore one that public leader might
be expected to take up here in Missis-
sippi whenever he is invited by fell
low citizens to discuss the important
issues Of the day, and, above all,
whom they are about to nominate
candidates for membership in the
state legislature. 1t may very we'll
be that there were some persons in
Senator McLaurin's audience at
Vicksburg the other day who would
have been glad to hear him occupy
the hour with irrelevant PERSONAL
ties, and some Of his friends perhaps,
expected him to give the editor Of the
Herald . well-deserved drubbing.
But, upon reflection, it has no doubt
occurred to them that the senator
could not do so without nnduly mag
nifying that editors Importance and
over-rating his influence. He had
already hit him once, and Il il very
evident that be had bit hard enough.

am creditably Informed that there
was an effort made at the last session

a law that would allow corporations
to own any amount of land in Missis-

exempt from taxation all moneys

passage Of such laws with all the

The present agitation to disfran-
chise the Negroes is exceedingly IN.
fortunate at this time, especially for
the South. 1t is manifestly politi-
cal war cry. It will avail nothing
toward the proposed end. At this time
the burden of the Negro enfranchise.
ment is on the North, not through
Negro baiters in the South. And, If
it ever comes, it will come with other
needed changes. AS certain as we
live, the North must be. convinced Of
the need OF ballot reform before it can
come. The Northern States are in
school now.
Disfranchisement, when it comes,
will carry reduction Of representa-
tion in Congress, no doubt, and the
lessening Of Southern influence in the
nation. This could be born, If COR
responding blessing came with it.
But the present agitation can not be
fruitful. and it is prejudicial. It
would not, if successful, cure our ills.
The Negroes would still be here.
The same outrages would be commit
ted. The same economical and social
conditions would obtain. The pres
emit agitation is barking on the wrong
track. It is stirring feelings Of race
prejudice to no good. We have q sit
uation to meet, and the white race
must show itself worthy of its leader
chip by meeting these conditions in
the right spirit and after the right
fashion.
The agitation against the education
of the Negroes is Of piece with the
other. What the South needs to do
now is to let the North worry with
the situation, cease to listen to ex-
treme men and go about the settle
ment Of all these questions in thor
oughly sane, Christian way. /, for
one, do not believe in igorance for
the settlement Of any question. It
can not be that civilization can be
advanced by shutting out light from
any human beings. I say it cannot
be. Christianity and enlightenment
are the universal solvents Of human
woes. They 60 together. II our
people are wise they will discounte-
nance this new opastasy from the fun
damental tenets Of our civilization.
I hold that the Saxon race will only
show itself fit to lead by dispensing
light to all races.
Instead of new -phobia, the
good people of both races, all races,
should seek an approachment to each
other for sympathetic dealing with
all race issues. Nothing is good for
one that is not good for all. It is
worse than blunder to mislead the
people and aggravate q condition
already too bad. Let the cheap pol
itician talk, but let as not heed them.
Rather let US seek the betterment of
the whole land by making every man
wiser and better. j. B. Gambrell, in
