fetch water. He found some towels
in the hut and between his droll chaff-
ing and his def illustrations l soon
felt fit again.
We'll, what shall we do with the
dago?" he asked, rubbing his arms and
legs briskly.
I'VE ought to give him to the village
constable"
That's the law of It, but not the
common sense. The lords of justice
would demand to know all the why
and wherefores. and the Italian consul
at Chicago would come down and make
a fuss, and the man behind the dago
would lay low and no good would
come"
when will Holbrook be back?-
that's the question:"
We'll. the market has been very
feverish and my guess is that he won't
last many days. He had a weakness
for Industrials, as I remember, and
they've been very groggy. What he
wants Is his million from Miss Pat.
and he has own chivalrous notions of
collecting It."
We decided finally to leave the man
free. but to take away his boat. Giles
pie was disposed to make light of
the whole affair. now that We had got
on with u lives. We searched the
hut for weapons and ammunition. and
having collected several knives and
a belt and revolver from the trunk. we
poured water or the Italian, carried
him into the open and loosened the
ropes with which Gillespie had tied
him.
The man glared at us fercely and
muttered ~incoherently for a few min
utes, but after Gillespie had dashed
another pail Of water on him he stood
up and was tame enough.
Tell him." said Gillespie. that WEI
shall not kill him today. Tell him
that this being Tuesday we shall
spare his life-that we never kill any

come back tomorrow and make shark

when will your employer return?"
I asked the sailor.
He shook his head and declared that
he did not know.
How long did he hire you for?"
For all summer" He pointed to
the sloop. and l got 1t out O him that

puzzled expression on his face.
"All he knows is that he's hired to

disgust. We can do nothing till Hol-

THE PRESENT CONSTITUTION rs THE BEST

The aluvial mind of our esteemed friend and distinguished cit
izen. Gen. Monroe McClurg, was undoubtedly obsessed with a
prohigacy of words when he penned the article which appeared in
public print last week, wherein he urged a constitutional convention
for Mississippi. We cannot believe that such a seasoned statesman
as General McClurg would expect the public to consider such an
utterance other than an evanescent idea born of a burdened loquac-
vert. General Meetings. article bore the impress of one that did
not expect others to consider him seriously. We can but believe
that he "a aiming at some other object.
While there is nothing sacred about the present constitution,
vet it is an immortal document. There is no provision in it that is
depressing any citizen or body of citizens of our state. There is lit
tie lit, outside of unequal Legislative representation for south Missis-
sippi, that can be regarded as unfair, unequal and not in harmony
with the most progressive and most enlightened public thought of
the day. South Mississippi has grown marvervelously and is enti-
tied to increased membership in the state legislature, and if that
section is wise it will not expend its energies in asking for the dem
clifton of our present constitution, but will seek a redress of it's ills
through proper constitutional amendments; the balance of the state
is ready to cooperate with them along this line. If South M:ssis-
sippi demands a constitutional convention and will compromise on
nothing less, she may miss all. The question of increasing the men,
bership of our state supreme court to FIVE members can also be done
by constitutional amendment. Any other matters can likewise be
reached.
The constitution Of the United States is now one hundred and
twenty-five years old and only a few amendments even have been
added in all these years. 1t was wisely made, Our state constitu-
ton was also wisely drafted, and it occurs to ust that only the exper-
imenter, that would take a watch or a clock to pieces to see if he
could place it back together, would want to tinker with a document
that has brought forth the encomiums of the greatest intellects in
the United States.
Besides, let the taxpayers consider the expense bill. A consi
tutional convention would cost the people no less, and probably
much more than $4,000. Whatever is necessary to be incorpora-
ted in our organic law, can be done with properly framed constitu.
tional amendments.
If the people are unable to make their wishes known through
constitutional amendments, is it probable that they will be any less
impotent to get their desires through a constitutional convention?
The present consultation meets the needs of the people, and we
do not think it probable that it would be improved upon by another
convention. 1t is true that a constitutional convention would make
an official place for nearly two hundred men and give us more poll
tics, but the state needs all possible rest along this line. Our con.
stitution of today is the best.
