IFc believe we hare one of the best
Constitutions in the United States, if
not the very best for our peculiar condi
tion*. IFe can now have two competing
parties in the State as safely as any
State iu the Union, and we are in a con
dition to so protect and guard our local
affairs, that the Federal Government
cannot interfere with us to our detriment,
any more than it could with any North

while seftremacy is guaranteed forever.

Let not those who are flattering
themselves that the Alliance is dead,
be deceived. It has only halted a lit

loins for the mightiest demonstration
of its strength it has ever made.
The Macon Beacon says for the first
time since the days of reconstruction,
it pains it to admit there is a disposi

political questions. Yes, there is a
decided disposition that way, and it is
coming, too.

Seventh District Alliance.
The District Alliance of the Sev
enth Congressional District will hold
a regular meeting at Jackson on next
Wednesday, Dec. 9th. Bro. T. J.
Millsaps, of Copiah, is President, and
Bro. E. Fleming, of Madison, Secre
tary. The meeting will probably be
held in the Senate chamber. The
same delegates who served last July
will serve again, uuless otherwise
provided by their several eounty Al
liances.
This will be the most important
meeting of the District Alliance yet
held, and every delegate should be
promptly m his place at the appoint
ed time. It is also hoped that as
many Alliance brethren as can find it
convenient will attend iu an advisory
capacity. Work is to be mapped out
for the coming year, and steps taken
to thoroughly organize and unite for
the upholding of Alliance principles
throughout the District.
Senator Walthall** Interview.
The utterances of Senator Walthall
in a recent interview with the Mem
phis Appeal-Avalanche, published in
another column of the Leader, are
in such marked contrast w ith some ot
the deliverances of Senator George j
and his partisan satelites toward the
i Alliance and advocates of the Sub
Treasury ns to challenge special nd
I miration, lie is not. only willing to
concede honesty of purpose and pa
triotic motives to his opponents on
this question, from Major Barksdale
and Mr. IamvIs down, but assumes
that the widest latitude should be al
lowed within party lines for differ
ences of opinion on this and other
purely economic and tinancial prob
lems, without calling in question the
Democracy or attempting to read out
of the party all who differ w ith him,
ns has been done by so many of the
small-fry politicians and newspapers.
For this we can but honor and admire
him.
There are two other points in Sena
tor Walthall's interview worthy of
special notice. The first is, the
declaration that the farmers are the
chief burden bearers and have ample
ground for complaint, the Democratic
politicians and newspapers themselves
being authority. Second, that the
agitation of the Sub-Treasury ques
tion by the Alliance has concentrated
public attention on the condition of
the farmers and done good, and he
further expresses the hope that it will
make its impression on the legislation
of the next Congress.
This last is a point we tried espec
ially to impress upon Alliance men in
the late canvass as a reason for their
stauding together in support of the
Sub-Treasury. We insisted that they
should so far emphasize their de
mand and necessity for relief as to
replace our present Senators with men
avowedly in accord with their plat
form. As early as the 2(>th of last
March, soon after Senators George
and Walthall had made the first pub
lic announcement of their opposition
to the Sub-Treasury, the Leader
contained the following editorial ut
terance w hich is so pertinent to the
present outlook and what Senator
Walthall now says, it will well bear
repetition :
“Iii the first place, we want to say
we believe Senators George and Wal
thull are entirely honest in their op
position to the Sub-Treasury bill and
really desire, as they see it, the best
interests of the people of Mississippi.
They may also be correct in their ob
jections to the Sub-Treasury plan ;
but, as we see it, that is not really the
question as the matter now stands
with true Alliance men. The real
question is, whether Alliance men,
who demand relief from the results of
outrageous class legislation, and who
have by their representatives in Su
preme Council, twice endorsed this
measure, shall stultify themselves by
surrendering their own judgment and
convictions, and support men avow
edly opposed to their platform. . .
“Hut there is a good deal more in
volved in this question than this. As
already stated, it is not so much
whether the Sub-Treasury plan is just
the thing in itself, as whether the
farmers and laboring classes are going
to emphasize their demand for relief
and reform in a way to be heard and
heeded by the old party leaders.
That is the vital point, and it will
never do to retreat or surrender at the
first lire of the enemy. Rather let
Alliance men resolve to press the bat
tle until they have stormed and taken
the enemy’s strongholds.
“When Alliance men supplanted
Hampton of South Carolina and In
galls of Kansas, the politicians of both
old parties fairly stood aghast and
trembled as they contemplated the
power of the aroused farmers in those
States, but nothing short of many sim
ilar examples will bring them fully to
their senses and convince them that
the people are terribly in earnest in
their demands for relief from the op
pression of monopolists.
“Senators George and Walthall ad
vise the abandonment of the Sub
Treasury scheme and trusting to the
Democratic party for all needed re
forms. That is simply an hallucina
tion. If the Democratic party had
full control of the Government and
Senators George and Walthall could
direct the policy of the party, this
would doubtless be a safe dependence.
Hut it is by no means certain that the
Democratic party will obtain full con
trol of the government again for years,
if ever, and if it docs, suclt men as
Geoige aud Walthall will not bo su
preme in its councils. Ever since the
day of reconstruction Southern men ;
have had little voice in shaping the
platform of the National Democracy.
When work of that kind is to be done,
they march up with obsequious air, |
hat in hand for orders, to the Dernoc- I
racy of New York aud other Eastern
States, and Wall street influences are 1
always the controlling factor there.
No better proof is needed of this than
the fact that Mr. Cleveland, who re
flects Wall street's position in his op
position to the free-coinng|! of silver,
is to-day the most popular Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency,
though Southern aud Western Demo
crats are ardently in favor of free
coinage. The party is not agreed
among themselves on any platform
that would iusure tiuaucial relief to
the country.
“The appropriations of the last Con
- “■* ** " »
gross were so extravagant, that the
next House of Representatives, which
is Democratic, will not only not l*e
bothered with n surplus, hut it will
have to meet and provide for a defi
ciency of nlMiut ♦".*),OttO,(H»0. For years
Northern Republicans and Democrats
alike have been bidding for the sol
dier vote by passing all sorts ot ex
travagantand fraudulent pensiou bills,
while Southern Democrats, afraid of
being accused of disloyalty to the
I'nion if they offer opposition, remain
silent or vote with their Northern
allies, and thus the Treasury is an
nually robbed of millions, quite as
much by the fault of one old party as
the other. Many other abuses also
,exist for which both old parties are
jointly to blame.
“If Alliance men in this State and
elsewhere are false to themselves and
their principles by supporting men
1 for the Dinted States who are avow - ;
edly opposed to the Sub-Treasury
plan, anil such men are elected, it’
will be equivalent to serving notice j
on the leaders of both old political J
parties that the farmers do not mean
what they say in demanding reform
in their governmental affairs, and it
matters not which of the old parties
obtains the ascendency hereafter, the
two will go on as they have tor the
past quarter of a century quarreling
over the tariff, sectional issues,
pensioning the soldiers and perpet
uating other extravagancies (thus
making a pretext for keeping up a
high tariff and fostering trusts and
monopolies) while the masses of the
people continue to grow poorer. No
wise friend, we had almost said no
sincere friend, of the farmers and la
boring classes can advise such a
* * *
course.
“The Leahkii has very little hope of
the people's accomplishing the needed
reforms through either ot the old po
litical parties. They assuredly will
! not as long as they hold love ot party
superior to the love of principle,
and blindly follow the old party lead
ers, right or wrong.”
Newspaper Changes.
Last Thursday was a notable day
for changes among the big newspapers
and editors of Mississippi.
Mr. 11. II. Henry, editor of the Clar
ion-Ledger, the leading political jour
nal of tin* State, sold his interest in
that paper to Capt. J. S. McXeily, ed
itor of the Greenville Times, which
has long been the journalistic head
light of the great Delta country. The
Clarion will be continued as a daily
and weekly by Messrs. McXeily &.
Power, and Mr. Henry, who reserved
the name of, the Ledger, will soon re
sume its publication as a daily and
weekly.
On the same day the Chickasaw
Messenger, the official organ of the
State Alliance, edited by the great
commoner, Hon. Frank Burkitt, made
its reappearance from the ashes to
which it was lately reduced by the
hate of political incendiaries. It is
printed on new type and in new form
of lti pages, after the style of the
Xational Economist, but lias the old
ring which has so many times struck
terror into the hearts of the machine
politicians of Mississippi. The sub
scription price has also been reduced
to $1.00 a vear.
Last, but by no means least, last
Thursday's Southern Baptist Record,
the official organ of the Baptists of
Mississippi, contained the valedictory
of Rev. Dr. J. B. Gambrell, who has
been the main stay of that journal
aud a great leader of his people,
since the paper was established 15
years ago, aud who has hitherto made
it a power in Mississippi both within
and without denominational lines.
For the present, at least, the entire
control of the Record will devolve
upon his associate, Rev. J. A. Hackett,
I). D., who has done much of the edi
torial Work for the past four years.
>S(ich are the mutations of journal
istic life. In each case the Leader
hopes the changes, under the guiding
hand of that destiny that shapes all
our ends, will converge to the attain
ment of the highest good to the peo
ple of Mississippi and the noblest suc
cess of each of the honored gentlemen
uamed.
STILL A MOTHER.
Since the above was put in type,
the dissolution of partnership between
Messrs. E. S. Wilson aud E. L. Mar
tin, editors of the Mississippian, isj
announced. Mr. Martin retained the i
paper and succeeded the firm, aud a
still later report says Mr. R. 11. Hen-i
ry has purchased the plant of the Mis-'
sissippiau and will issue from said of
fice the Daily and Weekly State J
Ledger. The Mississsippian will not
appear again.
Thinks Printers’ Ink Pays.
Prof. J. M. Alleu, Secretary of that
deservedly popular school for boys
and young men, the Chainberlaiu

cludes a business letter tothe Leader
as follows:
It gives me pleasure to add that the
Academy is enjoying unusual prosper-.
ity this season, a result we attribute
in a large measure to more extensive '
use of newspaper advertising, and in
which I am sure the Leader shares.1

SENATOR WALTHALL.
NOT A HIDE-ROUND PAR
TISAN HIGOT.
lie Makes a Few Observations
on the Late Senatorial
Campaign.
Toleration for Democrat* Wlio
Differ With Him on the
Sub-Treasury.
From a late interview with Senator
Walthall in the Appeal-Avalanche
the following is takeu :
“We have had a political breeze iu
Mississippi, but nothing like the storm
which some, outside the State, sup
pose. The foundation of the Demo
cratic organization has not been dis
located or disturbed, but the super
structure has been a little shaken up.
“For a long time we have had but
one organized political party iu the
State, and naturally there is a large
latitude in the discussions of public
questions and the selection of men
for office inside the party lines. As a
rule the will of the people is ex
pressed at the primaries, ami iu the
preliminary conventions, aud the
votes at the elections afterwards sim
ply gives effect to the will of the ma
jority, ascertained before.
“Owing to differences ot opinion as
to the binding effect of the prelimi
nary action had in some localities,
and to other peculiar conditions, there
were two tickets, both running as
Democratic, iu several sections of the
State, at the late election, but gener
ally there was but one ticket.
“There has been no disruption of
the party in the State, and there is no
cause existing now for any such ca
lamity. There is no foundation for
the opinion, known to me, that any
candidate for the United States Sen
ate will refuse to abide the action of a
Legislative caucus of Democrats, and
there is nothing in the record or pub
lic declarations of any gentleman, who
has been mentioned in that connec
tion, to justify any such suspicions, as
1 believe.
“The bulk and the body of the
! Farmers’ Alliance are Democrats, de
voted to the principles of their party,
and that members of that organiza
tion, elected to the Legislature will
observe party usage, I have no doubt.
All the members of the Alliance are
not Democrats and a few of them do
not even profess to be, but a large
majority of them are Democrats pri
marily, and will stand by their party
and its reasonable regulations. This
is my belief, and 1 will not surrender
it until I have the proof that my faith
has been misplaced.
“That the farmers are terribly in
earnest in this movement for relief,
there can be no doubt. If they have no
cause for this, then the Democratic
press and public men have been de
ceivingand misleading them for years.
In season and out of season we have
told them they were bearing the
heaviest burdens and receiving the
scantiest favors of the government
which they support. They believe it
and I believe it.
“I differ from them widely as to the
soundness and efficacy of the meas
ures of relief which they have form
ulated, but not as to the justice of
their demand for relief in some form.
They need it. they deserve it, they
ought to have it, and I trust they will
get it in some substantial and practi
cal mode.
“Their agitation of the subject has
concentrated public attention upon it.
It has done good already, and 1 hope
it will make its impression on the leg
islation of the next Congress, lie this
as it may, you may set it down that
the most of them iu Mississippi are
Democrats good and true.”
GEORGIA’S TWO SAMS.
Interesting Letter from Atlanta
by a Former Copiakan.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 30, 1891.
Editor Brooklmven Leader:
Not the least among the pleasures
of'-wesiding iu Atlanta is the fact that
it is the centre of operations of the
famous two Sams. 1 allude of course
to Sam Jones and Sam Small. The
former resides at Cartersville, which
is within easy striking distance of this
city—easy at least to one possessed of
the “striking” qualities that charac
terize the unique, and incompar
able, and irrepressible Jones. Small
is at home here, to use the everyday
expression, but in some respects it
would not be very wide of the mark
to say that Atlanta is at home iu
Small, for no resident of the place is
so capable of swallowing up the peo
ple on exciting occasions as he. Sam
Jones only is his superior iu drawing
and stirring up the multitudes. And
this I say with some misgivings, and
with reservation of the right to change
my opinion after further comparison
ot the two men. Jones is fond of say
ing that he discovered Small and con
verted him. Small delights in ac
knowledging Jones to be the apostle
and captain who first caused him to
see the great light that led him
through the church into the pulpit.
In the effort to hear Jones only the
fittest survive. That is (Darwinian
sense), only tlie strouger and more
adroit. Only those who go an hour
iu advance of the appointed begin
ning of the speaking can hope to get
desirable seats.
A brief description of the scenes at
Trinity church last Sunday week, will
illustrate the truth of the above re
marks. It had beeu announced that
Sam Jones would preach at eleven at
m. I was resolved to get a desirable
seat, and so with a friend went to the
church at ten o’clock. Wo fouud not
less than one thousand people packed
as closely as they could get to the two
entrances, and more were coming
every moment from all directions. My
companion and myself locjred arms
and took our position iu the rear of
the “living wall” about thirty feet
from one of the doors. At half-past
teii the doors opened and we assault- j
ed the breach nearest ns, and made
anr way by inches through the vesti
bule to the door opening into the
church proper. Were we found a tide
of humanity facing ns.
“Is tin1 house full ? ”
“Yes.”
“Then let us make for the galler
ies ! ”
We turned up a stairway which
luckily was near, and on reaching the j
top found that the front seats were al- j
ready crowded, but we got places in
the second tier fioni the railing, and '
congratulated ourselves on doing so
well. I looked back and saw that all
the seats in the gallery were full, and
that the crowd just inside was lieing
pressed forward uncomfortably by the
eager multitude on the stair* mid in
the doors. A pretty girl suddenly
cried out to those behind her: “If
you’ve got any manners, please don’t
squeeze me to death! ” Which
showed that at least one Georgia girl
objected to being pressed—against a
bench. I looked then down into the
church. Not only the aisles were
tilled with men and women—some in
chairs, some standing—but against
each wall the whole length of the
church people stood in single tile like
soldiers. And chairs were being
brought through the doors near the
pulpit, and this continued until every
foot of room was occupied. Then it
was announced that there were plenty
of people in the street to fill the base
ment, and that they wanted some
body to preach there, but in this they
were disappointed and had to go home
sulking.
Then the inimitable Sam began to
talk, and for nearly two hours held
that immense crowd in their places—
the standees as well as those who sat.
At the beginning he was interrupted
by the people who were struggling
for standing room at the back of the
galleries. The preacher paused for a
moment. Then he called out: “When
you blab-mouthed fools there shut up
I’ll go on ! ” Silence followed for a
little while, but it was soon broken by
a woman’s voice. “Just listen at that
old sister shootin’ off her lip!’’ said
Jones. And the sister, and the crowd
became as still as mice.
It is not my purpose to recite what
Sam Jones said. All America knows
more or less about his pulpit ways
and sayings. Suffice it to say that his
address was a triumphant combina
tion of the elements that go to the
making up of a successful speech.
The golden idea of the sermon was
that consecration is the key-word of
Christianity. The want of thorough
consecration to the cause of Christ the
chief stumbling-block of ministry and
laity. He said lie had mingled with
the church people of all the States of
the Union. He supposed ho had
grasped the hands of ten thousand
preachers, yet he did not believe he
had met more than twenty that were
thoroughly consecrated to the cause
of Christ. He believed lie had met
two million laymen, but of that num
ber he believed not more than one
hundred were thoroughly consecrated.
His remarks on this point called to my
mind these words from Arnold’s
Light of the World :
•‘The echo, not the meaning,of his s|>eech
Lives, and men tell it sadly each to each.
With lips, not hearts.”
Jones’ capacity for the logical and
grammatical statement of abstract
principles, his eloquence and pathos,
his story-telling gift, his powers of
humor and burlesque, as either or all
may be demanded by his subject,
prove him to be a man of genius.
At will he soars to the loftiest flights,
or descends without impairment of
force to the slang epithets of the
streets. Raiu or shine he draws
like a circus.
When Jones came upon Small he
discovered a bonanza. Small is the
life of the anti-bar-room campaign
nowin progress here, and was the
central figure of a most remarkable
scene last Sunday afternoon. The
public expected two anti-whiskey ad
dresses at 3 p. m. Jones was to hold
forth at De Give’s Opera House, and
Small at the Kdgwood Avenue thea
tre. The day was dismal, and misera
ble with mud and rain and sloppy
streets. Long before three, however,
despite the frown of the elements,
hundreds of people crowded the side
walk at De Give’s. A few minutes
before three Sam Small appeared on
the steps, and announced that Jones,
owing to sickuess in his family, could
uotfkeep his appointment, “lint I,”
said Small, “will try to entertain you
at the Kdgwood.” And the crowd
started immediately to that place,
which was about six blocks away.
First the people walked rapidly, then
