GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE.
The Governor's message is a lengths
^ but interesting document. We havener
£ 1 had the honor to be counted among
■¥• friends or ardent ardinire'-s, hut cati
^ r impels us to say that many of h:s
[gestions are emunfntly wise and time
JT and will appeal with much force to
* I good sense of the legislature.
]:T mong the meritorious measures ad
f ated hy Gov. Longmo, the following,
terns to us, are the most important;
'he amendment of the primary election
law, so ns to minimize the danger of
fraud niid-cbicnnery, which were so much
. in evidence in sever;1 Pcltfl counties tin
c ring some of the recent elections.
A liberal appropriation to tlie St. Louis
. ^Fair.—Mississippi is now rapidly forging
f.-nni >i.nl !I creditable reiiresentn
at tile St. Louis exposition will be
l£«k iRtilIcnce of her enterprise, and Rive an
j flhlitional impetus to her improvement.
m I hundred thousand dollars in this con
, Section would he money well spent.
It he building of a suitable home for the
l>nfederate veterans. The general gov
|inient properly and liberally cures for
Me Union soldiers, who arc in indigent
/rcnmstanccs, and it is a reflection on
the southern states that their war won
veterans arc mi th< .d age, id| !cs »,
and dependent o’* the liberality of rch
tives, or the charity of the community.
An experimental station in Hie Delta
should be established by all means, and
will do much to assist in the development
t of this fertile and important section of
state.
^The creation of a state veterinary sur
geon and the enactment of a proper law
to prevent, as far as possible, contagion
ofcliarbon and other like diseases among
animals, are matters which should re
ceive favorable consideration.
An increase ol the salaries ol state of
ficials—judges, chancellors aud district
j attorneys—is something that has long
ago engaged the attention of thoughtful
citizens, and should not be postponed.
The present stipends arc altogether in
adequate, and the proposed increase will
be an intelligent, and broadly considered
economical measure, redounding In much
good to the common wealth.
There are some of the Governor’s sug
gestions from which we dissent; but
taken a a whole, we regard the message
as a thoughtful, well written document,
and do not doubt that many of its sug
gestions will meet with legislative favor
and bring about practical and satisfacj
lory results.
President Roosevelt sprung a surprise
| on the “faithful” in the recent appoint
P meats in this State. Two prominent
Democrats capturcd-plums. Hon. R. C.
Dee, of Madison county, was appointed
attorney for the southern district ol
Mississippi, and Hon. Edgar S. Wilson,
the talented newspaper correspondent,
of Jackson, U. S. Marshall for the same
district. Our well known colored citizen
Mayor I. T. Montgomery, of Mound
Bayou, was given the office of receiver ol
public moneys at Jackson.
At a recent meeting the board of com
missioners of the Fifth Louisiana Levee
District adopted a resoultion, granting
an annual appropriation of $700 to the
Interstate Levee Association for the pur
pose of defraying the expenses and salary
of the special representative of the asso
. tion in Washington. Other levee boardi
/•^will also make similar appropriations.
