Although a bill is pending on the
subject, the lawmakers do not seem
to be particularly enthusiastic over
the proposition of raising the Cover
nor's salary from $1,000 to $500 per
year. At least, the measure was not
rushed back Immediately from the COM
mittee on fees and salaries with fav-
orable report, and there appears to be
mighty little likelihood that it will be
enacted into law before the new Gov
ernor assumes the reins of office.
Gov. Noel suggested this salary in
crease in his final message, and set
forth some excellent reasons why it
should be adopted. the principal one
being that 1t is impossible for a Gov.
ernor to live In Jackson and maintain
the office in proper style on the pres
emit salary. and thus poor man is in
reality almost deprived Of the privi-
lege ofsaspiring to the Governorship.
In Gov. Brewers case it is not like

minds to ignore the high cost of liv-

THE ISLE OF LONG AGO.

Oh, a wonderful stream is the River
Time,
AS it flows thru the realm of Tears,
With a faultless rhythm and musical
rhyme
And a broader sweep and surge
sublime
AS it bends with the ocean of years.
How the winters are drifting like
flakes of snow
And the summers like buds be-
tween;
And the year in the sheaf-so they
come and go
On the Rivers breast with its ebb
and flow,
AS they glide in the shadow and
sheen.
There's magical Isle up the River
Where the softest of airs are play
ing;
There's cloudless sky and tropical
cline,
And voice as sweet as a vesper
chime,
And the Junes with the roses are
staying.
And the name Of this Isle is the Long
II, ~ Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosems
of snow
There are heaps of dust but we loved
them so!
There are trinkets and tresses of
hair.
There are fragments of songs that
nobody sings,
And a part of an infants prayer,
There's a harp unswept and a lutte
without strings,
There are broken VOWS and pieces of
rings,
And garments that she used to
wear.
There are hands that are waved when
the fairy shore
BY the mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear thru the
turbulent roar
Sweet voices we heard in the days
gone before,
When the wind down the River is
fair.
Oh, remembered for aye be the
blessed Isle
All the day Of our life till night,
And when evening comes with its
beautiful smile,
And our eyes are closing in slumber
awhile,
May that Greenwood" of soul be
in sight.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 9.-The legisla-
ture has thrown a large-sized scare
into the corporations, especially rail-
road and telegraph companies, by the
large number of bills introduced
seeking to impose more or less drastic
penalties, and 1t is limited that the
worst is yet to come
The Cumberland Telephone & Tele-
graph Company is confronted with the
usual Physical Connections bill, which
has been a subject of hard and spirit
ed fights at previous legislative ses-
sions. The railroads are confronted
with an act to abolish the fellow-serv-
ant rule, another making electric head.
lights obligatory, and still another pre-
scribing the number of employees that
shall be placed on each freight and
passenger train.
The insurance companies have also
been placed on the anxious seat by a
bill STIMULATING that certain portion
of their reserve funds shall BE- invest
ed within the state. A similar meas
ure was defeated after hard fight two
years ago.
The state banking institutions will
have their uneasy moments, as three
bills devie'ng systems Of state bank
inspection are on the calendars, and
more in prospect. It is not likely, how
ever, that the banks will oppose the
adoption of system of inspection, or
general revision of the banking stat
utes, providing it is not too radical in
its provisions.
The introduction of these measures
aimed at the corporations was of
course anticipated, and the various
railroads. telegraph, telephone, insur-
ance and expre"g companies have
their representatives on the scene to
look after their interests.
And the legislature evidently antici-
pated the arrival of a large-sized
third house." for the senate had hard
ly been fully organized when Capt.
Frank Burkitt presented drastic an
ti-lobbying resolution. Veteran legis-
lators, however, are rather amused at
this effort to protect the solons from
the opportunities of the lobbyists, who
very rarely work around the capitol
building. combining their activities
chiefly to the hotel Hobbies and board
ing houses.

The legislature will be In a do-noth-
ing state during the present week in
solar as the general business of the
session is concerned. Some of the
committees have organized and show
a willingness to get down to business,
but majority of the members evil
IDENTIFY prefer to wait until Governor
Brewer takes the oath of office and
maps out his administrative policy.
There is no reason, however, why
the committees should not get revenue
and appropriation measures in shape,
have nearly all budgets completed,
and a general financial policy outlined
before the new Governor takes the
oath Of office.
1t will doubtless be necessary for
the usual junketing trips of commit
tees on humane and benevolent insti-
buttons to be made, in order that the
lawmakers can personally ascertain
the needs of these institutions, for, as
a rule, they do not rely on reports
from boards of trustees or superin-
tendents.

The appointment of Hon. 8. A. Nor
rison of Grenada, as chairman of the
house committee on appropriations
had been generally anticipated, and
caused no surprise among the mem.
bers. On the contrary. 1t meets with
cordial approval, for there is not a
member of the body more abundantly
equipped for this important phase OF
legislative work than the member
from Grenada.
Mr.. Morrison served as chairman Of
the appropriations committee during
the Noel administration, and was vice
chairman during the vardaman regime.
He is perhaps the best posted man in
either branch of the body on the
states finances and the needs of the
state institutions. While he has often
been accused Of being member Of
the "low pressure brigade" the fact of
the matter is that, during the past four
years, he has shown a most liberal
spirit, and has earnestly endeavored
to allow to each institution according
to its needs, bearing always in mind
the revenues in prospect
Mr.. Morrison has fully recovered
from his recent illness, and expects to
be in good physical shape for the ardu-
GUS duties that will devolve on him
during the session.

Whether or not the present legisla-
ture authorizes a constitutional con.
vention, which is one of the most i'm
portant subjects pending for considera-
ton, it is evident that there is going to
be great deal of attempted tinkering
with the organic law.
Already the calendars contain sew
eral concurrent resolutions framed for
the purpose of making changes in the
constitution, and they cover a wide
variety of subjects, one of the most
notable ching a proposition for the
initiative, referendum and recall.
The South Mississippi contingent
firmly believes, however, that all pro
posed amendments will be futile, for
they are confident that the constitu-
tional convention call will be adopted,
and that the job of remodelling Mis-
sissippi's organic law will be actively
under way within the next twelve
months. The plan proposed is to have
a convention composed of delegates
equal in number to the membership of
the house and senate, with delegates
at-large equal to the number Of Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress.
