(commonly known as Little Ananiati) please answer the follow ing questions, all of which have been asked several times before but have never been answered? First. Why do not the GIANT commissioners require the county officers to make their itemized and verified annual reports as required by sections 728 of the Codo and section 93 of chapter 7 of tho public laws of 1901? Second, Why do not the GIANT Commissioners require the Sheriff to file a verified state ment of the money on hand on the first Monday in every month as required by Chapter 7, Section 98 of the Acts of 1901? The tax payers of the county have a right to see what disposition is .made of he public lands that go into the hands of the public Offi cials ot the county. The law 1 has . provided ample means by which the people are to be furnished with this information, and why are these matters kept a secret from the people in violation of law? rights of . the people in patting these new features of the Constitu tion into force, that no man who had a right to vote would be de prived of that right; this duty the legislature did in such a spirit oi fairness that their bitterest oppon ents have not attempted to , com plan of or criticise the measure In the first place, the Legislature had to provide means by which every while man who was ,not able to read and write could be regis tered on a permanent roll so he wonld always have the right to vote under that registration. That law we print in full in another column of this issue ol our paper, in order that our readers can inform them selves fully on the matter. The Legislature also had to pro vide means by which the poll tax featureof the new constitution could be carried into effect, which was done in the same spirit of fairness as characterises the whole elvctioo law. We will print later in the Record, the feature ol the election law relating to the payment of the poll tax. While we by no means endorse the sale of the public school proper ty of Marshall, in the manner in which it was made, still ourcolumns are open for a fair and friendly discussion of the matter both pro and con.

" 1 -J When the Constitutional Amend ment was proposed, in some parts f the State the white people divid ed on the question along 'party lines, while in other parts of the State the whife people were prac tically all for it. - The measure was adopted by an overwhelming majority in the State and the new Constitution became a part of the organic law ot the lard, and it now maks no- dinVreoce as to whether we tuouicht it best for the State or not, it : ia aow the duty of every loyal citizrn to help support it and endeavor to live up to it. But now, as tl.c people are be coming thoroughly convinced that no white man is to lose his right of franchiM on account, of the k pro visions of the new Constitntion.and since they see that on ' account of the new Constitution that bun dredsand thousands of the poor children of the Stale will have the pportunity of getting an educa tion on account of the- increase in the public school facilities brought about by the new Constitution, the opposition to the measure is fast dying and when the prejudice which was caused by politics dies out, in our opinion, then will hard ly a wfcite man in the State be op posed to it. v But the new Constitution has brought about two new conditions of affairs which it is necessary for the people to inform themsetyes on, ih order that they may intelli gently exercise the right of fran chise which is guaranteed to every white man in the Stale. . , . Tbe Legislature of the 6tte had to provide means by which these i,ew features ot the Constitution eoulJ be iut in force at once aud t tbe same time to so guard the - Fasts Oeaoerning ths Board. JiDiTOB Keoobd : It is a very strange thing to me why it is that there are always a few men in our county that are' too big for their breechesjaud those upon whom false accusation is always depen dent. Now go with me a minute to the reign of educational demagogues preceding the standing Board: We find by traoing those records that the amount of public money allot ted per capita was sixty-five cents, never exceeding seventy-two cents; besides our Superintendents w.re forced to comb their heads with rough tin pocket combs and pick their teeth with the rib of their spectacles. I am glad to inform these kicking jackasses that the standing Board has' revolutionized such times; ih are entirely obso lete. The amount per capita is 11.02; the Superintendent can use tbe rt fined horn comb and bristle brush and pick his teeth with the reined bone tooth-pick. No won der that men kick, or, in other words, those who were cut out for men, but unfortunately have grown up in the forms of hyena snd jackals. They arecustin because something is boing done for the publio weal of our beloved county. My Godl if the men who consti tute the Board of Education for Madison county are rogues, give us more rogues instead of the deceit ful office-aeekers who are standing on the corners with noses sharp enough to suag lightning, yea, those who are sharp enough to stick up in the ground and green enough to grow. . Madison county has produced a lot of smart men, yes a ' lot who have bean too cussed, infernal smart Why was thepunlic school prop erty of Marshall district disposed of privately? If it was a pr.vate sale, why were different men bid ding on it? Why did the Board summons men to assess the value of the property? Why did our most wortby(?) sheriff, Mi. Ram sey, report that 80 was a good price' for the property? Why did the Board refuse to take $30 tor the proper.!? Because,' they got $1J5 which was $25 more. In fact, why are some people d & fools? Be cause they grew . up thirsting over the finance which has been legally compensated and supported bv the statutes of the state. ,. It is a shame, a dugrace, a hid eous crime for a man or a sat of men to try tc tear down the influ ence and legal . proceeding of men who are as true aa stool and whose chancers are left unstained, un blemished and unnerved by the voices of the belliah tattoos. My son, let your name be Jim, Tom or Riley, take the mote from thine own eye before you try to uke it from the ty of those whose characters were moulded and ripened before you was born.' . .

The democrats of the House of Representatives held their long deterred caucus on Friday evening and, under the skilfull guidance of Mr. Richardson and other demo cratic leaders, determined upon a policy which it is believed will prove most effective, not a'ene in furthering the interests of the party but also in stemming the tide of plutoaratic legislation "which- it ir expected the republican majority will attempt to impose upon the eoua'ry. Some of the members, did not consider it witnin the prov. ince of the caucus to reverie anySf the decisions of the last national convention but apart from their contention it was determined - that there was no necessity aUhis time for so doing. It was further de cided that it would be wiser for the members of the party to devote their whole atteu tion to checkmating raids of the opposition on the Treasury abd endeavonng to protect the whole people from legislation inspired by the great vested inter ests whose liberal campaign contri butions secure for them such exten sive influenoe in the councils of the opposition. The Ways and Means Commit tee is still giving hearings to the representatives of the beet sngar and tobacco industries in this country and in Cuba. The beet sugar lobby is growing desperate and is contemplating a coalition ot force with the democrats in an effort to reduce the protection on refined sugar. The beet sugar men are, oi course, inspirea ny animosity to the suvar Trust but they frankly admit that they would be in ft better position to develop their industry if. the Trust were estroyed even if reciprocal privi leges were granted to .Cuba. The democrats are naturally and con sistently opposed to a duty which pull I immense profits into the hauds of the trust at . the expense of the vast body of consumers. Representative McCalL Republican member from Massachusetts, tells me that he will vote for reciprocity as he . does not consider that a moderate concession would injure American interests and he believes the United States owes it to Cuba to at least start her on the road to prosperity. Apropos of tbe beet sugar ques tion there is a story goingthe rounds in inner circles o a very stormy Cabinet metUig at which ' the President alleged to have told his Secretary ot Agriculture . that he was "sick and tired" of having bis exprm'i'ons 6'u the subject "thrown in his tao''7"iir. Wilson, I auTtold, expressed regret at bavinig given utterance to his views and assured Mr.Roeevelt -that nothing more would oe heard from him on . tbe subject He has persistently refus ed to appear before the Ways and Meanes Committee, although it is well knowu that he is adverse to any reciprocal treaty which w J lower the"duty on beet sugar. Of course the above incident has given rise to renewed gossip in regard to Cabinet changes but no change in the Agricultural portfolio is con templated at this time. The question ofChinese exolusion is still being considered by tbe Senate Committee on Immigration and ex-Secretary ot State John W Foster and General O. O. Howard have both testified in opposition to the re-enactment of the law, while Commissioner of Immigration Powderly has appeared in its sup port Speaking on the subjeot vesterdsy, Senator Dubois, of Ida ho, told me that he was unalter ably opposed to the admission - of the Chinese, "they can never be assimilated", he said, "forthesimp- le reason that they do not want to be. The most favorable laws would never induce the Chinese in any considerable numbers to become American citizens. Their one aim is to save a little money and return home. All that they make they send home as fast as they can spsre it. Entirely aside from the labor aspect we are opposed to having among us a race ot muu wno are unwilling to become citizens and who sftiik the responsibilities of jury duty and of suffrage. Such men can never have the best inter ests of this country at heart and that, alone, I believe to be sufficient to warrant '.the position we take against their admission to the country.', Senator Mason attempted on Friday to commit the Senate on the Schley matter, at least to the extent of thanking the Admiral "for bis brave aud able conduct while in command of the American fleet at the victorious battle "oj Ban tiagoy and presenting him with a swordTjaribfl opposition was on the -alert and, . despite Senator Mason's protests, Senator Hale insisted upon the reference, of the resolution to the committee on Naval Affairs where there is every reason to believe it will be buried. The House has passed the Urgent Deficiency Bill, but did not until the democrats had compelled Mr. Cannon to amend the wording of the appropriation of the clause providing $500,000 for the eatab- lishmeptofn military barracks at Manilla. Sixteen democrats voted for the bill, not because they ap proved of the course of the admin ' istration in the Philippines, but because they felt that American soldiers rhonld be provided with comfortable quarters where ever they were. There is. in fact, reas on to believe that many other democrats would have voted foe the ' proposition had their votes, been necessary to carry it aud upon the same ground, but so long 0 the republicans had the strength to enact the measure they felt it to be their duty 4o protest against the imperialistic pel icy of the ainD istration. Representative Henry of Con necticut, who, next to chairman Wadswortb, is the ranking member of the House Agricultural Com' mittee, told me yesterday that the ' committee had perfected bill restricting tbe sale of oleomargarine ' which he would ask the House to refer to the Committee and which it would report in plaeay of ttte Grout Bill . The new bin contain some important features not include ed in the measures whioh have been referred to ths Committee, notably a clause which defines any person who colors oleomargarine and then sells it, aa a manufacturer and sub ject to the same restrictions. Mr. IJenry told me that it was common practice iqDenmark for the re tailer to tarnish coloring natter to customers piirchasiaing 1 oleomar gerine so thaf ;tiie addition of the color made it perfectly feasible for thehotei proprietor, boarding-house- landlord, etc., to place npoo the table a produce which his cumm ers could not detect from geuuiue nutter.
