Conspicuous among the events OF the
legislative session was the opening of the
way for salary legislation, which has
been under consideration as a leading
topic of discussion for some two years.
The special committee having filed a re-
port and under authority from the gov
ernor, a bill was introduced in the house
by Stockett of Wilkinson county, pro-
viding for the specified changes i'll sal
aries, and referred to the committee on
fees and salaries. The bill increases the
salary of the governor from $4,000 to
S 5000; the secretary of state from p
5000 to $500; decreases the salaries
of the railroad commissioners from ST.
900 to ST. 500; decreases the salary of
the insurance commissioner from $500
to $4,000, and that of the penitentlary
trustees from So, 900 to $500. The bill
is drafted along the lines of the special
committed report, and it is likely will
develop much opposition, both in com
mittee and on the floor, since it is
claimed that it s'equalizes left-handed.'

Practically No Change Since the Ballot
ing Began.

When the legislative caucus adjourned
Monday night, after the ninth ballot in
the series to decide the choice of the
body for a senatorial candidate, out of
the bona fide field of seven regularly
entered the deadlock was as decided and
apparently indeterminate as at the be-
ginning. The proceedings closed with
tardaman in the lead.
The balloting showed a larger number
of men present and voting than on
either of the other occasions, the highest
number hitherto being 10, leaving II
not voting, while on one ballot Monday
night, there were IT'S, or within six of
the total voting strength, which is 1S1.
The best that Gov. Nardaman has lone
so far was on the ninth ballot, when he
came within twelve votes of a decision.
They are all still in, and though they
regret the p~rolongation of The deadlock,
the fight is going to be conducted to a
finish. Nothing is said of a dark horse,
and the determination is apparently to
fight it out, though something may yet
be run by way of a surprise.
The three ballots in detail were as fol-
lows:

SECRET VOTE DECIDED ON.
Vardaman Followers Made a Fight fol
the Open Ballot.

By a vote of 101 to 50, the caucus OF
the Mississippi Legislature decided to-
night to vote secretly on the nominations
for United States senator.
Ex-Governor Vardaman made a fight
for the open ballot, but the majority
were against him, and the historic pre-
cedent that has governed such cases was
adhered to.

which taxed the seating as well as the

q~uently and by no means serious.
The climax was reached, when Senator
Leftwich sent to the desk a resolution
providing that the caucus vote by ballot
and that each member pledge himself
to abide bv the decision of the caucus
and vote as u legislature for its nomi
nee. The resolution further provided
that the names of the candidates before
the caucus be printed on ballots after the
usual manner, the same to be supplied
to the members of the caucus.
There was nothing for it but Il roll
call, the result showing 101 for to 80
against the resolution, which disposed of
the question by adoption of the ballot
plan as against the viva voce call.

VARDAMAN LED EVERY BALLOT.
Three Ballots Taken in Caucus, Without
a Result.

After taking three Intellectual ballots
Friday night, a process that consumed
more than two hours, for the purpose
of deciding the choice of the Democratic
caucus for a candidate for United States
senator. the body decided to adjourn and
make fresh attempt Saturday. The re-
suit of the ballotTng was as every one
expected, showing that while James X.
Nardaman was the strongest candidate
of the several entered, he had not de-
veloped sufficient strength to win out.

Want Treasurer Abolished.

The first step in the biennial attempt
to abolish the office of county treasurer
a matter that is sprung at about every
session of the Mississippi legislature, was
taken when Representative Langston OF
Webster county introduced a concurrent
resolution with that object in view. The
resolution refers back to section 135 OF
the constitution of Mississippi, which
specifies the several county officers, and
would amend that by striking out the
word treasurer" from the list.

Agricultural High Schools.

Mississippi is a great agricultural
State. In recent years it has forged
steadily to the front among Southern
States in this field. 1t has adopted
scientific methods. 1t has endowed
schools for disseminating new and suit
able ideas, and now the governor is di-
recting his efforts toward securing agri-
cultural high schools, so that the add
vanced agricultural principles may be
given to generations to some.

Subjects for Legislation.

The governor Monday sent a message
to the Legislature, in which he submitted
to their consideration, without comment
or argument, certain subjects which he
thought might be considered at this SEES
sion. Among these are the equalization
of salaries of State officers, judges of
the Supreme Court, circuit judges and
chancellors; the transportation of pu-
pills in the rural districts to and from
schools where two or more have been
consolidated; the establishment of a
State charity hospital; to grant author
ity to courts to suspend sentences in
criminal cases and during good behavior
of the convicted persons; giving express
authority to the governor to grant con-
ditional pardons, based on good behavior
and subject to revocation for cause.

" ant Lien Law Killed.

There is a very strong and positive
wave of opinion throughout the state,
favoring the repeal of the agricultural
lien law. There is a disposition among
some of the legislators to secure some
recommendation or official authority
from the executive with a view to tax
ing up and ~disposing Of the matter. 1t
is held that this same law has burdened
the statute books Of the state, and Incl
dentally has wrought disaster and suf-
fering to farmers, such as they have
encountered in no other way.
