DIRECTIONS TO MILITIA.

The Mississippi Legislature has been asked TO
decide whether it would not be advisable TO olsoao
the State militia in times Of peace. lew Gays
ago Senator Harper, of Grenada, offered the loi-
lowing concurrent resolution, which was relerreo "
the Committee on Military Affairs:
Whereas, the people of Mississippi are now ana
have always been law abiding citizens, ana
Whereas. the ladies of Mississippi are the PRIDE
of the world and of every true Mississippian and
Whereas it is getting that the true citizenship
of Mississippi not peaceably assemble lot 'ne
purpose of protecting the ladies or MISSISSIPPI
without first having to encounter the militia OF the
State therefore, be it
Resolved, by the Senate of the State OF Mssls-
sippi, the House of Representatives concurrlng
That committee of three on the part OF the senate
and - on the part of the House, shall be appointed
to see if the militia of the State of Mississippi can
not be dispensed with in time of peace and to de-
wise means of dispensing with the State militia
We are glad to note this desire of patriotic and
practical Mississppians to dlsband ana get rlo OF
the annoyance and expense OF the militia OF thelr
State And we would be glad to see the same thing
done in Louisiana; but we have no hope OF seeing
such good measure adopted by any General AS
semblv of Louisiana. Economy in affairs of State
is gby talked of before primary elections, but the
promises are soon forgotten and extravaganza takes
front seat in the band wagon. This State annu-
ally approprates S31 900 for its militia, and New
Orleans paper wants to see the apportionment in
creased. Thirty-one thousand and nine hundred
dollars! Is ''the play worth the candle?' What
substantial benefit has the State received for this
money? Could not this appropriation be used for
better purpose? For instance, for public schools,
Confederate pensions, or Confederate monuments
at Vicksburg. The militia should go. In times OF
peace it should have no place in our system OF gov
eminent. 1t is expensive and it is not necessary
for the enforcement of law and order. estates car
be governed without it." But the most serious OF
all objections is the raised by Senator Harper
that the militia is standing menace to the protec.
ton of the noble women of State.

WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

Memphis Commercial Appeal: The personal gov
eminent will have to go.
Abbeville Is. c. Press and Banner: The proba-
bty isthat the United States will let contracts for
several additional war vessels. This is right A
big fleet will ensure peace.
ST. Louis Republic: The blare of brass-band au-
tocracy in Washington is now attracting more at
tention even in Paris than any music of the kind
since Napoleon the Little was preparing the plebis-
cite to make good his bluff at constructive jurspru
dence.
Edgefeld IS. CO. Advertiser: While in CONVEX
saton a few days ago with gentleman who is in
close touch with the Legislature, we asked why the
daily papers not reporting the proceedings of
the legislature as fully during former years, and
he replied: ':They report about all that's worth
reporting The rest is tomfoolery.'
Macon (Ga.) Telegraph: The Telegraph is OPP
posed to Bryan on principle, and would be glad to
see the party escape his leadership. But rather
than have another Republican President-with the
continued growth of Federal Capitalization and
paternalism, which that would mean-we should
greatly prefer to see even Bryan elected, knowing
that his most undesirable policies would be held in
check by Democratic conservatives well as by the
opposition.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

1t needed no act of Congress Legislature to
remind the people that on the 22d of every February
they should give public expression of their gratitude
to George Washington for building the foundation
of individual sovereignty and personal liberty so
strong that time nor tyranny shall prevail against it.
The 22d of February should be celebrated because
the birth of George Washington on that day makes
it conspicuous in the calendar of time. 1t marks
an event which broadened and deepened until its
spirit of freedom stimulated the Americans to es-
tablish government that should lead humanity to
higher levels of individual independence and make
America the ideal field of political existence. 1t is
not now question whether the Colonies would have
carried the war for their independence to final sue
cess without George Washington. That he did lead
the armies to victory, and that he did supervise the
laying OF the cornerstone of the Republic in a
cement of law, order and the rights of man is
enough to all who enjoy the blessings of his
effort to hold him in grateful remembrance.

Washington special says: Judge Watkins is
receiving good deal of encouragement from the
officials of the Post Office Department and the
Weather Bureau towards his plan to furnish daily
weather forecasts to the people of his district 1t
has now been decided that rural letter carriers shall
deposit copy of this report in every box his
route provided he starts his rounds not later than
10 o'clock in the morning. 1t is impossible for the
Weather Bureau to get these reports out much be-
fore that hour, however, those persons living on
routes for which the carrier has to start before
O'Clock must suffer. The postal officials say some
routes are so long that carrier has to start before
that time but that, wherever he can make his trip
he shall wait until 10 o'clock for the daily forecast
