Russell Sage’s Philosophy.
Some sayings of Russell Sage:
“Friendship remembers; society
forgets.” “In the home only is
there true happiness. It is there
a man’s best ideas get their birth
and grow.”
“When you have made your
fortune it is time enough to think
of spending it.” “The tender
care of a good wife is the finest
fkinor in fka ainrlrl ^ “Siillr nn.
derwear is not for hired men. ”
“Clubs are for idle old men and
wasteful young men.”
Hon. Sidney M. Smith, of
Holmes county, introduced on
Thursday last five bills in the
Legislature all havings for cheir
object the suppression of the C.
O. D. liquor traffic in the State.
• The bills were prepared as the
result of the Conference held in
Jackson by prohibitionists and
others in the Hall of the House
of Representatives, some time
ago. Some of the bills presented
are very drastic, but nothing short
of this will suffice to suppress the
evil.

Mississippi Has Grafters.
That Mississippi has grafters,
one has but to read the report
submitted to the legislature Tues
day by the committee appointed
to investigate the affairs of the
State farms. The report only
dealt with conditions as they were
found to exist on the Oakley farm,
in the southeast portion of Hinds
county. For several years it
seems there has been systematic
grafting going on, the State losing
thousands of dollars. Not even
the Board of Control, the prison
physician, Dr. J. P. Berry, War
den J. J. Henry, or the sergeants
on the place are exempt from
criticism, and as a result of the
report the resignations of every
one who is to blame for the leak
ages and grafts should be demand
ed.
The report shows a shameless
condition of affairs to have existed
on the plantation with the full
knowledge of those whose busi
ness it was to have prevented just
the things that happened. It will
not do for Mississippians and her
press to condemn in the srongest
possible language such dereliction
of duty and dishonesty when they
happen in some other State, and
then to wink at them when they
are brought home to us. Let
every guiltv man be brought be
fore the bar of the public, and
where there is law, prosecute to
the fullest extent those guilty of
having fraudulently used the State
convicts and who have Drolited bv
extorting from the State moneys
that did not honestly belong to
them.
The report is a discredit and
shame to the Board of Control and
to everyone who has connived at
and been a party to the fraudulent
practices. Be it said to the credit
of Gov. Vardaman, that he has
fought single handed to overcome
the shameless condition, and
throughout the report awards to
him the fullest praise.
The question now is, if the
committee found so much that was
dishonest on one plantation, what
more will be found when the
management of the other farms
are examined ?
The removal of everyone in the
least connected with this disgrace
ful aflair, is demanded by the peo
ple of Mississippi. The motto of
the legislature should be: Let no
guilty man escape. — Yazoo
Herald.
Congressional Candidates.
The indications point to tame
Congressional campaigns in Mis
sissippi this year. Hon. E. S.
Candler will have no opposition
iD the First District; Hon. Tbos.
Spight, it seems, will not find
much to contend with in bis fight
for re-election; Hon. Ben. G.
Humphreys will have easy sail
ing; Hon.”Shed Hill will be re
turneu wiwiout opposition, as win
Hon. Adana Byrd, Hon. Eaton J.
Bowers and Hon. John Sharp
Williams. Some opposition to
Hon. Frank McLain is talked,
but it seems to be weak. The
chances are that Mississppi’s pres
ent delegation in Congress will be
returned without a break in the
ranks. One notable fact, how
ever, is noticeable when the per
sonnel of the Mississippi delega
tion is considered—only one ex
Confederate soldier is in the dele
gation— Capt. Thos. Spight. Only
a few years ago every member
from Mississippi had worn the
grey in defense of the South’s
struggle for Constitutional gov
ernment, but the ranks have thin
ned and only one of the gallant
band remains in Congressional
harness; but in that one is the
heroisms of the war of secession
and the mighty political struggle
that followed the emancipation of
the negro, fitly represented.—
Greenville Democrat.
