It is announced that the republican slate
executive committee of Mississippi will
meet in August and decide whether or not
to hold a.'atc convention and place a lull
ticket in the fieid. There is a very famil
iar sound about till report.and it may now
beconfiJcntly expected that (or the next
lew weeks there Mill b-: more or lets dis
cussion of the practicability of attempting
to run a republican campaign in Misi"ipi.
The the slate committee will get together
and decide to to ahead, after which the
partv papers at the north wi.l teem with
glowing reports of the progress of the
campaign. It will Be given out mat mere
in great dissatisfaction in the ranks of the
democracy and that thousands of democrats
arc flocking to the republican standaid. It
will be asserted that the entire negro vote
is assured to the republicans, and that vic
tory is in the ai. Then the election will
come off, and everything will be in readi.
r.css for the usual explanations. The dis
satisfied democrats weie driven back into
line, and the negro vote was suppressed.
There w ill be no republican party to speak
of in the state,after election.for the simple
reason that there was none before election,
and never had been any, as the managers
well knew froir- the start, but the failure of
the republican candidate to get votes will
be made the basis for fiery (.'enunciation in
the halls of congress and a grand display
of the ensanguined and time-worn garment
all along the line. It Is the same old game
to make party eapital.and it will bs played
In the same old way, from the time of the
meeting of the state committee in August
until months after the election hat been
held and decided by the suffrages of the
people. Then the president will be im
portuned to do something for the braye but
defeated candidates, and when these have
roud nlaces at the public ciih,
the uproar will cease until the rolling
years bring around the opportunity to piay
the game over again. It always works.
Th. nther blir cities in this country have
a good joke on Chicago. In her recent
annexation scheme the great city uncon
rlni.nlv swallowed a toll road, made ro bv
charter of the state a good many years ago.
Toll roads anywhere are a nuisancer relic
of times w hen communities were too poor
to make needed public improvement,and
were thus obliged to submit to almost any
terms from those who had the money to
advance. Of course in a city a road where
d be exacted must become too In
tolerable a nuisance to long continue, and
it should have been intolerable years ago
while the toll road was still In the country
district. There arc few placet anywhere
now where toll roads are necessary, end
charters for them thould not be renewed
when they expire.
Mr Gladstone, In a recent tpeech, refer
red to the American Constitution at a
marvel of political wisdom, exhibiting the
eenefitt of devolution in contrast with the
evlla of too great cenlra'.lzatlon, of which
France and Italy were examplet. He re
ferred to the addresses sent him from vari
ous states of this country strongly Indors
ing his Home Rule policy, and said that
these expressions of opinion from a nation
rapidly advancing to the position of a pri
mary power of the English tpeaking racet
ought to giveeveiy prudent Englishman
material for reflec'.ion. "We are lit? firtt,"
he tald, "to tell other nations their faults,
but the last to lister, to any one's advice."
Paraguay is in the paihof the monsjons
