all taxes remaining unpaid on the

Not Now

Wednesday OF last week was a
Gala Day for Tupelo The
merchants and business men OF
that town provided for the day.
Music and old time contests, such
as barrel races. creased poll con-
tests etc. were provided, and
prizes awarded to winners. Also
prizes were given those who brought
the best specimens Of potatoes,
pumpkins and other produce. The
occasion is said to have attracted
a large crowd, and to have been
the source of much profit and en-
ioyment. IF Aberdeen merchants
were not so busy selling goods, and
Aberdeen business men were not 50
busy building railroads and estab-
fishing boat lines. we might suggest
something of the kind for this
place. Everything is too full mp
with business and enterprises Just
now to think of it.

Economy in Administration

The republican congress, in the ses-
sion just ended, has made appropria.
lions amounting to $l,OOS, 900, 900. ex-
ceeding the total expenditures OF the
past fiscal year by $9O,OOO,0OO. and
leaving deficit of more than O,OO0,
900 for the fiscal year. We densunce
the needless waste of the peoples
money which has resulted in this ap-
palling increase as a shameful viola
tiOn of all prudent conditions of gov
eminent, and as no less than crime
against the millions of working women
and men from whose earnings the great
proportion OF these colossal sums must
be extorted through excessive tariff ex-
actions and other indirect methods. 1t
is not surprising that in the face OF this
shocking record the republican plat
form contains no reference to econOm-
ical administration or promise thereof
in the future. We demand that stop
be put to this frightful extravaganza
and insist upon the strictest economy
in every department compatible with
frugal and efficient administration.

Rights of States

Believing with Jefferson, in "The
support of the state governors in all
their rights as the most competent ad-
ministration for our domestic concerns
and the surest bulwark against anti.
republican tendencies: and in the pres.
ervation OF the general government in
its whole constitutional rigor as the
sheet anchor of our peace at home and
safety abroad, we are opposed to the
Capitalization implied in these sugges.
tions, now frequently made, that the
power of the general government
should be extended by judicial construc.
ton. There is no twilight zone be-
tween the nation and the state by which
exploiting interests can take refuge
from both: and it is necessary the fed
eral government shall exercise the
powers delegated to it, that the state
governments shall use the authority
reserved to them, but we insist that
federal remedies for the regulation of
Interstate commerce and for the pre-
vention of private monopoly shall be
added to, not substituted for, state
remedies.

The republican party passed the

democratic dereliction. 1t has been u
wholesome instrument for good in the

lion. But experience has shown that
its effectiveness can be strengthened
and its real objects better attained by
such amendments as will give to the
federal government greater supervi'
sion and control over and secure great
err publicity, in the management OF
that class of corporations engaged in
opportunity to effect monopolies.

deliberate purpose on the part of the

thus increasing the number OF its re-

We denOunce the action OF the re
publican party having complete con-
troll of the federal government, for its
failure to pass the bill, introduced in
the last congress, to compel the publ.
cation of the names of contributors and
the amounts contributed toward cam
paign funds and point to the evidence
of their insincerity, when they sought
by an absolutely irrelevant and impos-
sible amendment to defeat the passage
of the bill. AS q further evidence OF
their intention to conduct their
campaign in the coming contest with
vast sums of money wrested from favor
seeking corporations, we call attention
to the fact that the recent republican
national convention at Chicago refused
when the issue was presented to it, to
declare against such pratices.
We pledge the democratic party to
the enactment of a law prohibiting any
corporation from contributing to

contributing an amount above reason

publication before election OF all such
contributions above u reasonable mini

Arbitrary Power of Speaker

The house OF representatives was de.
signed by the fathers of the constitu-
ton to be the popular branch OF our
government, responsive to the public
will.
The house of representatives, as con-
trolled in recent years, by the republl-
can party, has ceased to be delibera-
tive and legislative body, responsive to
the will of majority OF its members,
but has come under the absolute domin-
alton Of the speaker, who has entire
control OF it's deliberations, and powers
Of legislation.
We have observed with amazement
the popular branch Of our federal gov
eminent helpless to obtain either the
consideration or enactment of measures
desired by a majority OF its members.
Legislative government becomes a
failure when one member, in the per-
son of the speaker, is more powerful
than the entire body.
We demand that the house of repre-
,entatives shall again become a delib-
erative body, controlled by majority
OF the peoples representatives and not
by the speaker, and we pledge ourselves
TO adopt such rules and regulations of
its members to direct it's deliberations
and control legislation.

Misuse of Patronage

We condemn, as violation OF the
spirit OF our institution, the action OF
the present chief executive in using the
patronage of his high Office to secure
the nomination of one of his cabinet
officers. A forced succession in the
presidency is scarce less repugnant to
public sentiment than is life tenure in
that office. No good intention on the
part of the executive, and no virtue in
the one selected can justify the estab-
lishment of dynasty. The right OF the
people to freely select their officials is
inaliepable and cannot be delegated.
