PUBLIC OPINION.

The power Of public opinion IS the
greatest On this earth II 4 80 great
that precedent and maxims fall before

the scythe II stops at nothing, aud is
baffled only by the raeater power OF
eternity
Mississippi has long been known as
the conservative state Of the South
It has furnished TO the Republic a
set Of statemen Of whom all counsel
led moderation in all things.
Although the world has been led to-
believe that Yardaman was an ultra
reformer and agitator. II IS a fact
chat he was elected over the combined
opposition OF the big merchant and
manufacturer with the old family
strength. by the great railroad inter
asts. knowing he was a stickler for
protection OF property II Il but paid a
fair tax for that privilege OF prctec-
tion.
Therefore when il was ascertained
that this session OF the Mississippi
Legislature would not pass a passenger
rate law, making the maximum less
than three cents per mile no one who
had studied the game ia Mississippi
was much surprised.
But the voters OF the state com
menced a protest ard now up and
down the state, from Holly Springs
to Biloxi; from GreenVille to Spots
burg. comes the refrain. sung alike
in the cotton field and in the factory
Reduce the passenger rate.
And coming close upon the heels
OF that demand is the message saying
the Legislature OF the state of Missis-
sippi has about agreed on a bill max,
ing the fare not more than twoand-
half cents per mile.
And right behind this FIRST an
nouncement comes another that the
Legislators have egreed on "A bill OF
that kind. and viii have It introduced
