According to Democratic authority,

The trouble is it won't stay dead.

Some Copiah Prohibitionists would
like to know what It was that made

Jerry Jimpson has l>een renominat

After n deadlock of three days, in

There are tire State tickets in the
field in Texas. The Democrats have
split iu twain and have two. Then
there are the People’s party ticket,
the Prohibition ticket and the “Lilly

slipped away and were married this

from beneath her mother’s wing, and
in a trice the dbrds were spoken which
made them man and wife. Mrs.
Moritz, mother of the diminutive bride,
raised hades when she learned that her

In response to tlie request of our
editor we send the following account
of our work.
Thanks to the fidelity of our State
President, Mrs. Mount, and to a risit
from Mrs. Snell, our Union took a new
lease of life last winter and started
upon a course of renewed activity and
usefulness.
Some benevolent work lias been
done and the jail has been visited
frequently. One white man, who
has been a prisoner for some tune lias
expressed a determination to unite j
with the church.
Last winter during the session of
the legislature we decided to contest
liquor petitions until the high license
law should take effect. We have con
tinued this and up to the present
time have defeated five petitions and
have six eases carried to the circuit
court. Of the five defeated two were
renewed in proper form and were
granted, the others w ere not renewed.
There was some excitement in town
over a contested petition, l’irst the
contest and afterwards a report that a
carouse had been held at the saloon
and two of our conneilnien hung in
effigy. The saloon keeper has pub
lished thi< following card:
A C'nrtl.
The report that members of the
City Council who opposed the grant
ing of license to the undersigned were
hanged in efligy at our place of bus
iness is a mistake, as nothing of the
kind was done. We accord to all the
right of acting upon their own con
victions in such matters, as in nil
other matters.
Respectfully,
ClIAKI.KS JoItOAX.
We have sent live dollars to the
Flora Union and expect to send ten
dollars for the headquarters lot. We
have worked and still work against
much opposition, but while we have
to relate that the cause is “damned
with faint praise" by many good men,
we can also say that some worldly
men encourage us and even go on a
bond for us.
We thank Hod and take courage,
I knowing that works of charity and
1 reform must always lie done uusel
fishly in a spirit of self-sacrifice. We
say to all our sisters let us endure as
seeing Him who is invisible.
The W. V. T t'. of Starkville
Tlie Times loarus that this organi
zation is doing more active work in
Starkville than ever before. They
have a large increasing membership ;
the members arc enthusiastic, and
they are creating considerable inter
est by giving public entertainments.
In speaking of this organization, a
Starkville gentleman, who sometimes
looks upon the wine when it is red,
said to the Times:
“I am glad to see tliis movement
gaining strength and believe our la
dies will accomplish much good. I
wish they would give a public meet
ing-invite everybody—the driuking
men especially—nnd let ns get togeth
er,give our experience and discuss the
best remedy for ridding ourselves of
this accursed evil. I loug to see the
day wheu a complete confidence can
be established between these noble
ladies and the unfortunate liquor vic
tims of Starkville. There is no drink
ing man but who would gladly quit.
They are willing in their own hearts
—although they may not admit it to
accept any conditions to be saved.
The Temperance women will find them
valuable allies in putting temptation
out of reach, and I believe that the
drinking men will find the Temper
ance women valuable allies in helping,
them to resist.”
i
We are much indebted to Miss M.
L. Montgomery for late Stark v ill e
papers. The rejmrts of the Stark villa j
Union are so encouraging that we!
hope our readers will not fail to read !

The time is rapidly approaching for '
the third payment on our lot in Jack .
son. Our note falls due Sept. 10th and
must be met or we will lose this valu
able property. Your delegates at the
State Convent ion decided that we
should continue payments" on the lot
which is beautifully situated aud ris
ing in value. It rests with the Unions
to sustain this action of the conven
tion and every Union should at once
send in something for the purpose to
our State Treasurer, Miss Zelle Mc
Laurin. Take whatever money is lying
idle in the local Treasury aud collect
as much more as possible to put with
it and sent! tt at once. Those dele
gates who pledged their Unions at
convention should see that these
pledges are promptly redeemed. Only
a little effort is needed and we shall
own this property which will give ns a
footing in the State Capital and a
means of great future usefulness. All
amounts sent in will be published from
week to week in the Leader.
Yours in service,

The following is from the facile pen
of Mrs. Mary Hoskins, Lexington :
The fair little city of Greenwood
stands to-day pre-eminent in the heart
of the State \V. C. T. U. on account of
the noble work done by the White
Ribboners of that town so blast by the
baud of God in the rich yield of its al
j luvial soil, and so cursed by the hand
of man in permitting and upholding
the saloons, so enticing in their nllure
i incuts to our young men. the hope and
i pride of Mississippi. Bnt, the W. C. T.
II. have awakened and girded them
; selves withthc armor of Christ and are
now fighting valiantly for God, home
i and native land. A private letter from
I one of the stirring temperance women
j of that town brings ns tho glad news
j that by counter petition they have
j closed one of the “first class” saloons,
j which is only a pat hway to hell more
gilded than the doggery, Deliver us
from “three first" affairs that offer so
many seductive temptations, even to
the strong and pure hearts.
The seal of God is upon the work of
those noble womeu and may they con
tinue the fight until every saloon is a
past dream, a revolting night mare,
j and while these elect womeu are bat
| tling so courageously, other women
! are the Aaron and Htir to stay their
| arms with prayer for a success, thus
, redeeming the low lands of Mississippi
! from the clutch of satan, and lighting
l the fires of jubilee upon every
! river bank, whose tawny water will
murmur the glad news to every land.”
j (iod bless the work and the workers
: in the Delta and let them never weary
j in w ell doing.

PEOPLE'S PARTY PLATFORM. |
AiliyM by the People's P»Hj i
Convention nt Omihii, July 4tl», 1 jilt*3.
Assembled on tlm one hundred nnd
sixteenth anniversary of the Declara
tion of Independence, the People’s
party of America, in their first Na
tional convention, invoking upon their
action tlio blessing of Almighty God,
puts forth iu the name nnd on behalf
of the people of this country the fol
lowing preamble and declaration of
principles:
The conditions which surround us
best justify our co-operation ; we meet
in the midst of a unlion brought to
the verge of moral, political and m»-1
terial mill. Corruption dominates1
the ballot box, the Legislatures, the
Congress, and touches even the ermine
of the bench. The people are demor
alized ; most of the State's have been
compelled to isolate the voters nt the
pulling places to prevent universal
intimidation er bribery • The news
papers are largely subsidised or muz
zled : public opinion silenced ; busi
ness prostrated, our homes covered
with mortgages, labor impoverished,
and the land concentrating in the
bands of the capitalists. The urban
workmen are dcuiod the right of 01
ganizution for self-protection ; import
ed, pauperized labor beats down their
wages ; a hireling standing army, un
recognized by our laws, is established
to shoot them down and they are rap
idly degenerating into European
conditions. The fruits of the toil of
millions sre boldly stolen to build up
colossal fortunes for a few, unprece
dented in the history of mankind, and
the possessors of these in turn despise
the republic nnd endanger liberty.
From tlio same prolific womb of
governmental injustice come tho. two
great classes—tramps nnd millionaires.
The national power to create money
is appropriated to enrich the bond
holders; a vast public debt payable iu
legal tender currency has been funded
into gold bearing bonds, thereby add
ing millions to the burdens of the
people.
l .SL UEU.s FATTEN.
Silver, which has been accepted as
coin since the dawn of history, lias
been demonetized to add to the pur
chasing power of gold by decreasing
the Value of all forms of property, ns
well ns human labor, and the supply
of currency is thereby abridged to
fatten usurers and bankers by the
slave industry. A vast conspiracy
against mankind lias been organized
on two continents, and it is rapidly
taking possession of the world. If not
overthrown at once, it forebodes ter
rible social convulsions, the destruc
tion of civilization and the establish
ment of an absolute despotism We
have witnessed for more than a
quarter of a century the struggles of
(lit* two great political parties for
power and plunder, while grievous
wrongs have been inflicted upon the
suffering people. We eharge that the
controlling influences dominating both
these parties have permitted the ex
isting dreadful conditions to develop
without serious effort to prevent, or
restrain them. Neither do they now
promise ns any substantial reform.
They have agreed together to ignore
in the campaign every issue but one.
They propose to drown the outcries
of a plunderod people with the uproar
of a sham battle over the tariff so that
capitalists, corporations, national
banks, rings, trusts, watered stock,
the demonetization of silver and the
oppression of the usurers may all bo
lost sight of. They propose to sacri
fice our home, lives and children on
the altar of mammon ; to destroy the
multitude in order to secure corrup
tion funds from the millionaires.
Assembled on the anniversary of the
birthday of the nation, filled with the
spirit of the grand generation which
established our independence, we seek
to restore tjie government of the Re
public to the hands of “the plain peo
ple,” with which class it originated.
We assert our purposes to be identical
with the purposes of the national con
stitution, “to form a more perfect
uni hi, establish justice, insure domes
tic tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the geueral welfare
and secure the blessings of liberty for
ourselves and our posterity.”
We declare that this Republic can
only endure as a free government
while built upon the love of the whole
people for each other and for the
nation; that it cannot bo pinned
together by bayonets ; that the civil
war is over, and that every passion
and resentment which grew out of it
must die with it, and that wo must lie
iu fact as we are in name one united
brotherhood of free men.
Al’l’Vl.I.IN'r. CONDITIONS.
Our country i» confronted by condi
tions for which there is no precedent
in the history ot the world. Our an
nual agricultural productions amount
to billions of dollars in value, which
must within a few weeks or months
lie exchanged for billions of dollars of
commodities consumed in their pro
duction ; the existing currency supply
is wholly inadequate to make the
exchange; the results are falling
prices, t.he formation of combines and
rings, the impoverishment of flic pro
during classes. Wo pledge ourselves
that if given [lower we will labor to
correct these evils by wise and reas
onable legislation in accordance with
the terms of our platform.
We believe that the powers of gov
ernment, in other words of the people,
should lie expanded, as in the case of
the postal service, as rapidly and as
far as the good sense of an intelligent
people and the teachings of exfierience
shall justify to the end that oppres
sion, injustice and poverty shall
eventually cease in the land.
While our sympathies as a party of
reform are nntnrnlly npou the side of
every proposition which will tend to
muko men intelligent, virtuous and
temperate, we . nevertheless • regard
these questions—important *4 they
i\re—as secondary to the groat issues
now pressing for solution, and upajp ,
which not only our individual prof- ;
purity, but the very existence of free '
institutions depend; and we ask all *
men to first help us tu determine
whether we are to have a republic to
administer, before wo differ as to tliei
conditions upon which it is to be ad-1
ministered, KpUey in# that the forces j
uf reform thi| day organized willj
never ecu sc to ^ihove foT\Vnrtt Until
every wrong is "remedied, and equal
privileges securely established for all:
the nu n and Onuieu of tlii.< country,
w# declare, therefore,
1. That the union of the labor forces
of the United States this day consum
mated, shall be permanent and per
Ctual; may It* spirit bo upon all'
art# for the salvation of the republic
and the uplifting of mankind.
2. Wealth belong* to him who,
creates it, and every dollar taken j
from industry without an equivalent
ii robberv. ‘*If miv will not work,
neither aliall ho cat." The interest#
of rural and civic labor are the same |
their enemies are identical.
8. Wo lielicve the time has come
when the railroad corporation# will
cither own the people or the people
must own the railroads, and should
the government enter upon the work j
of owning and manugiug all roads, we
should favor an amendment to the
constitution by which all persons
engaged in the government service
shall he placed under a civil service
regulation of the most rigid character,
| so ns to prevent the increase of the
I power of the national administration,
I by the use of siudi additional govern
ment employes.
I !N AM K.
First We demand a national cur
rency safe, sound, and flexible, issued
by the general government, only, a full
legal tender for all debts, public and
private; and that without the use of
banking corporations, a just, equitable
and efficient means of distribution
direct to the people at a tax not to ex
ceed 2 per cent, bo provided, as set
forth In the Sub-Treasury plan of
the Fanner’s Alliance, or some
better system ; also, by payments in
discharge of its obligations for public
improvements.
n. We demand the free end unlimited
coinage of silver.
b. We demand that the amount of
circulating medium be spoedily in
creased to not loss t ban #)0 per capita.
e. Wo demand a graduated income
tax.
d. We believe tliat the money of the
country should be kept hs much as
possible iu the hands of the people,
and hence we demand all national and
State revenues shall he limited to the
necessary expenses of the government,
economically and honestly administer
ed.
n. Wo demand that postal savings
banks be established by tho govern
ment, for the safe deposit of the earn
ings of the people and to facilitate ex
change.
LAND.
Second The land, including all the j
natural resources of wealth, is the her
itage of all the people and should not
be monopolized for speculative pur
poses, and alien ownership of land
should be prohibited. All land now
held by railroads and other corpora
tions in excess of their actual needs,
and all lands owned by aliens, should
be reclaimed by the government and
held for actual settlers only.
TRANSPORTATION.
Third Transportation being a means
of exchange and a public necessity, the
government shoTlM own and operate
the railroads in the interest of the
people.
/(. The telegraph and telephone, like
the post-otHce system, l>eing a necessity
for transmission of news, should be
owned and operated by the government
in the interest of the people.
SI riM.KMKNTAI. KKSOI.1TION9.
At the night session, Chairman
Branch made the following supple
mental report:
Your committee on platform ami
resolutions beg leave unanimously to
report the following :
Whereas, Other questions have been
presented for our consideration, we
hereby submit the following, not as a

he applied to the reduction of the
burden of taxation now levied upon
the domestic industries of this coun

Uniou soldiers and sailors.
Kesolved, That we condemn the
fallacy of protecting American labor
under the present system, which opens
our ports to the pauper and criminal
classes of the world, ami crowds out
wage-earners, and we denounce the
present ineffective laws against con
tract labor, and demand the further
restriction ot undesirable immigra
tion.
Resolved, That we cordially n.vin
I pnthir.e with the efforts of organized
] workingmen to shorten the hours of
labor, and demand a rigid enforce*
| ment of the existing eight hour law
| on general work, and ask that a special
' clause be added to said law.
| Resolved, That we regard the main
tenance of a large standing army of
j mercenaries, known as the Pinkerton
i system, as a menace to our liberties,
and we demand its abolition ; and we
condemn the recent Invasion of the
Territory of Wyoming by the hired
i assassins of plutocracy, assisted by
i Federal officers.

, thoughtful consideration of the people, j
aud the reform press, the legislative
, system known as the initiative and 1

j of president and vice-president to one
| term, and providing for the election
; of senators of the United .States by a

| sidy or national aid to any private
I corporation for any purpose,
i When the tiist paragraph, that re
lating to the force bill nud th*j Austra
lian ballot system,was read, a delegate
moved to lay it on the table. They
already hud the fit. Louis platform, }
lie sid'd. His motion got a second,!
but was beaten moat decisively on a;
vote, , nearly the whole convention .
voting no. The immigration plank
and the anti-Pinkerton plank wercap-"
planded loudly.
