Thz Next Legislative Session.
The approaching session of the
legislature, which will convene in
Jackson about six weeks from the
preoutt time, will be one of the
most important ever held iu this
state. The mem1 ers will have
many leading questio s to decide up
on that will require the profoundest
thought and most solicitous care.
1 hen, too, these questions must be
acted upon quickly, without any ex

And yet. that dead nasi of thp
Capitol bill, in its momentous his
tory ot tne session of 1897, needs
at hast a passing mention.
The question of a new capitol
affirmatively decided ii the State
Senate, and practically settled s
far as that body, was concerned,
during the regular session of 1896,
and by tacit agreement, as it were,
between the two h .uses iu the ses
sion of 1807. it was left to the
House of Representatives to formu
late a measure for legislative enact
ment. .

Would it be considered bad ar
rhitectural pyrotechnics to leave
the question of a plan to the de
cision of commissioners?
Couldn't the question of appaint
ments of capitol commissioners, the
fourth aud list ohstucle in the way
of a new capitol, be determined ty
paining the commissioners iu the
measure?
All these suggestiqn9 and inter
rogatories, randomly conjectured,
materialized aud written, have
taken the pith out of the capitol
discussion, and shown us the plain
pathway of dutiful obligation.

.Mrs. Minnie Wallace Walkup,
lhe beautilul New Orleans young
woman who was tried in Empora,
Kansas twelve years ago for poison
ing her husband, at that time the
Mayor th city, has again created a
sensation, this time in Chicago, by
clijing to be the widow of the
mfUontire, John B. Ketcham,
who died recently leaving her all
his large property. The Ketcham
family deny the marriage and will
contest the will.
The Natchez fair, the only one
to be held in the state this year,
gives promise of being a grand suc
cess and the managers feel very
much encouraged by the many en
trees of fine stock aud horses.
There will be a good exhibit of
cotton, machinery for its manufac
ture, and all kind of farm produce
as well as many uuiqe attractions
in poultry. The fair will open up
on Monday, Dec. 27th and will
last six days. There will be rac
ing of the fine horses every after
noon during the whole fair.
"Johnnie," our Artesia corres
pondent, is one of the best farmers
in the county as well as a good
writer. As the busy Christmas
and hog killing season is approach
iug, the Dispatch readers will
miss his interesting letters fora few
weeks, but "Johnuie" has tasted
printers ink, caught the correspon
dents fever, aud we feel sure that
in the course of events, his readable
letter will again appear in the Dis
patch columns. "Come again,
Tohnnie, we are always glad to ste
you."
The agitating cow question has
struck Meridian and the merchants
want the municiple authorities to
adopt the curfew ordinance against
the cows within the city limits and
make it a permanent law. Th
would all be very welt if it were
practicable, tut we are afraid that
an innocent and hungry cow would
not regard the six taps of the Cre
bell if a wagon . loaded with hay
stood iu its pathway home. If con
sidered at all, the curfew order
should include a clause, as well is
a penalty, that each merchant
shou'd see that bis cow was driven
olf tie streets at six o'clock This
would relieve the city autho.ities
fcf niutii caie and many embataas-
JUCliLi.
From the hour that the Gover
nor's message favoring the passage
of a capitol bill was read to both
houses of the Mississippi legisla
ture of 1807, up to the announce
ment, of the vote on the Governor's
veto, was one of the most exciting
episodes ever recorded in the an
nals of State legislation.
From the initiatory tactics of the
House capitol committee on the
plan of the building, down to the
report of that committee on the
Governor's veto, was one of the
hardest pitched mental battles ever
fought out in a legislative arena.
Able arguments by conscientious
lawvers were heard on the merits
and demerits of the Governor's
objections, with citation of author
ities as to constitutional preroga
tive.
And it is flattery to none to sav
that from the Chief Executive of
our State down through the per
sonnel of the membership of both
Houses of that legislature, that
e .cu ana an were governea Dy wuat
was conceived to be honest con
victions. Is it necessary that that -discussion
should be indefinitely prolong
ed, to the detriment and injury of
the issues it involves?
Is it needful that the State
should be the loser by that extra
ordinary session, or that the fruit
of its agitation shou'.d be withered
and lost?
Is there such a divergence of
opinion amongst the adherents,
:m 1 opposers of the policy of the
Governor, as to necessitate a dis
ruption amongst the representa
tives' of the people?
Is there no middle ground of
concesMon and accomplishment,
where the extremes and the means
can reach an agreement?
Are we, the sworn agents of leg
islative enactment, so derelict in
our duties as to defy adjudication?
Are the points of difference so
many and so varied, as to leave us
desperate, determined and unrea
sonable? It is n-'t evident to even a casual

Walter McLaurin, warden of the
convict farms, has cleared consider
able money for the state the past
year. He estimates the crop of
the State on the convict farms as
3,000 bales of cotton; 25,000 bush
els of cora and 5 000 bushels of
peas, besides large qualities of hay,
fodder, vegetables, etc. A $2 ,000
barn is being erected on the Rank
in county farm and 1,000 acres of
new land will be cleared on that
f irm in time for next year's plant.
On the Sharkey county place,
which was almost wholly submerg
ed, and where, in consequence, it
was estimated only about 700 bales
wouli be raised, it is now thought
the yield will be between 1,100 and
1,200 bales.

of an "elderly lady" are necessarily
