he will defer formal announcement
until later, Speaker of the House Hill
rie M. Quinn, in letter to P. H.
Wright, of Oxford, states that he will
be a candidate for Governor of Missis-
sippi.
Mr.. Quinn says he will not enter
actively in the campaign until the
judicia and congressional elections
are over. 81 do not believe it would
be proper" he says, ito launch my
candidacy for the Governorship this
summer when the judicial and con-
gressional elections are on because,
try as we may to prevent it, if the
governors race is precipitated at this
time, that race would effect, more or
less the determination of the judicial
selections, and to do this would be
contrary to the spirit of the law we
have enacted. I prefer, therefore, to
wait until after these elections are
over and then, If the conditions are
such as they are now, l will submit
my claims for the governorship to the
people of my state"

Special to The Netos.
jackson, Miss. March 2s,-The hands
were removed from the big clocks in
both the House and Senate shortly be-
fore the noon hour today and both
bodies probably will work until nearly
to clear the calendars of
pending business.
Bare quorums were present at the
morning roll calls, and In the event
the point of no quorum is raised dur
ing the afternoon, it will be impossible
to transact business, as the midday
trains carried away scores of lawmak-
1rs.
Governor Brewers desk is piled high
with bills awaiting his signature, and
it will be Herculean task to examine
all these measures before adjourn
ment. At least two dozen bills will
be held over by the Governor, owing
doubt as to their constitutionality.
A recapitulation of the appropriation
bills passed during the session shows
a total of $S.779,21412 as compared
with $7,S56,543.45 two years ago, an
increase of $992,67O.97.
The principal increase was made or
the common school appropriation. Bud
gets for the various colleges and Other
state institutions were cut to the limit
and even the Confederate pension funt
was trimmed $50, 900 per year. h
Shortly before the noon hour Cover
nor Brewer was compelled to den,
, interviews with all callers in order t.
devote his time exclusively to the bill
submitted for his signature.

BRITISH RoNDHoLpERs HAVE
NINE SOUTHERN STATES
ON BLACKLIST.
This STATE HAS WORST EXCUSE
We Owe About $1,000, 900 to Foreign
Capitalists, And Our Excuse For
Not Paying Debt Is Lamest of All,
Says One of Them.
(By Associated Press.)

London, March 2S.-Nine Southern
States now owe British bondholders a
total Of more than s75,000,O00, not in
GLIDING interest, on account of debts
which have been in default from forty
to seventy years according to a report
of the Council of the Corporation of
Foreign Bondholder.
This association, organized forty
years ago to protect the interests of
holders Of foreign securities, has for
many years had eleven foreign states
on its black list, but this year the
Republic of Guatamala, under pres
sure from the Foreign Office, has re-
sumed payments after default ex-
tending over fourteen years.
THE elimination of Guatamala,' y
says the report, "leaves the unenvi
able distinction of defaulters to the
Republic of Honduras, and nine states
of the United States, pf America
namely, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida
Georgia, Louisiana Mississippi, North
Carolina ,and West Virginia"
s 1t has not been possible to obtair
reliable Information with regard tC
most of these debts, but it is under
stood that the loans we're contracted
for public improvements, and do mo-
include Confederate bonds or wal
debts.
With the exception of Alabama''
debt, of which no reliable informa
tion is obtainable, the amounts owing
British bondholders are estimated al
follows.

OF these debts the report, which is
signed b" Viscount Goschen, the new
chairman. says:
ut is indeed deplorable that these
prosperous and progressive states OF
the great American Union take no
steps to settle their defaulted debts,
and it seems, to say the least of 1t,
an anomaly that the United Safes
should insist on compliance with Its
obligations by country like Santo
Domingo when so many of the states
within its own borders are not observ-
ing their own engagements.
"The excuses put forward by these
states for non-payment are manifold,
Nississippi' excuse for not recogniz-
inq her defaulted debt is the worst OF
ell Between 1891 and 1888 the state
lissued two loans, for which she oo-
tanned full value and the proceeds OF
which we're invested in the establish
mept and development of two banks.
So long as the banks flourished and
made good profits the interest on the
loans was paid; but when. owing to
oyer-speculation, bad times came and
tha hanks got into difficulties, Missis-
made this the excuse for ceas-
IAN further payments to the bond

AT a campaign meeting recently
one of Senator Smiths opponents
twitted him with not raising the
price of cotton to fifteen cents, if he
had such great power, when a cot
ton factory operative-one of Blease' S
vest pocket editions"-yelled out !:
1--WE wouldn't vote to send him
back, if he did raise it to fifteen
cents" Very naturally he would
not. There is an irrepressible con-
flict between the producer and the
consumer. The mill man wants the
price of cotton as low as it is pos
sible to hammer it down. Self
interest prompts him to want his
mill t. buy raw material as cheap
as possible, because thereby the
mill can afferd to pay him and his
fellow-workmen better wages. But
is it to the interest of the farmer
the man who produces the raw
material--to support the same man
that the cotton mill operatives
want? Well, hardly.

Smith spoke first. He repeated
some of his cotton speech and di-
rected some remarks on immigra-

that he opposed letting down the
bars to the riff-raff of Europe to

said: "You cotton mill boys don't
