CONSIDERABLE OPPOSITION

Another amendment to which there is considerable opposition is to section 272 which places every Confederate soldier on the pension roll, whether he needs assistance or not. whether rich or poor-provided he. or his widow, lives in the state. Prominent veterans here at Jackson will vote against this amendment, and are advising their friends to do likewise.
 There does not seem to be any op- position to the two amendments pro- posed in regard to female suffrage. The first of these amends section 241 of the constitution so as to extend like suffrage to male and female inhabl- tants, of the state, and will be adopted, even those hosts of men who have al ways opposed female suffrage, voting for it.. The other amendment as to the women imposes a s2 poll tax on fe- males, just as is done on men-that be- ing, and is a democratic and white mans safeguard that cannot be sur rendered. This will be adopted
 The women do not vote in Mississip- pi this time because of the fact that they were not registered and had not paid their poll tax within the time re- quired under the constitution and the laws of the state. But they are regis tering now and will be ready and pre- pared to vote hereafter, so that in the presidential election four years hence Mississippi will roll up the biggest vote for democracy that was ever heard of and the republican candidate may catch a few of them.
 In three or four districts there is so- cialist opposition to the democratic

PLUMMER Is FATHER
NOW TO PRISONERS

Mrs. p. NJ. Roseman. captain, Vol
unteers OF America, who conducted
services at the New Castle County
Workhouse yesterday. said this morn
ing that she was agreeably surprised
at The conditions she found at the
Institution. The inmates seemed 10
be happy and during her converse
ton with them several asked her to
tell the public what she saw and
heard while there.
Mrs. Roseman said she had not been
IN an institution of this character in
her tifteen years OF religious work.
where SO much good feeling existed
between the prisoners and their keep
ers, as was found there. The pris-
oners. she said, spoke o. Warden
plummer as Father Plummer,n and
in such affectionate manner, that the
place seemed anything else than a
prison. She said there had been only
three or four violations of the honor
system since its inception by Mr..
Plummer. In each Of these cases the
person committing the 0fiense dis
played great sorrow for the misdeed.
