CHICAGO’S MAYOR AWAtMlXATKII.
On last Satin-day evening at 8
o'clock. Carjer H. Harrison, mayor of
the city of Chicago, was assassinated
iu the diningroom of his residence by
Eugene Patrick Prendergast, a feeble i
minded fellow who had l»een an aspir
ant for the office of corporation coun
sel and been refused. This, the mur
derer stated, was the cause of his aw
ful crime. At any time such an unex
pected fatality would have caused n
| sensation; but occurring while the eyes
of the world are turned toward the
great White City, and just, ten days be
; fore the anticipated nuptials of the
mayor Avith Miss Howard of New Or
' leans, the sad affair partakes of the
' most pathetic, romantic and fascina
ting tragedies the mind can conceiA-e.
Many of the brilliant displays that
were to mark the closing days of the
Fair have been abandoned. In his
last sjieech, made nine hours before
his death, he said; *’l believe I Avill see
the day when Chicago will be the
greatest city iu America. I intend to
live for more than half a century when
London Avill be trembling lest Chica
go shall surpass her.” Mr. Harrison
was G8 years of age, a man of tine
physique Avhose physicians assert that
but for violence or accident he could
have lived a score of years louger. He
often declared that he worshiped iu
| the “Church of Nature.”
COMFORT FOR THE DISAPPOINTED.
Editor of The Mississippi leader :
I see that Mr. J. J. Harper is trying
to throw mud on President Cleveland
and the grand old party. I guess he is
one of the sore-head kind ; voted the
ticket straight — thought Cleveland
was all right on silver—thought the
party was solid on the platform -had
hearn tell of Reform, but didn’t know
exactly what it looked like.
There were lots of that sort of Dem
ocrats. They have rings on their
necks. They love the Democratic par-1
ty mightily. He now, like some others,!
is beginning to smell something bad :
about Cleveland. He wants to be-1
lieve that Cleveland has betrayed his
trust, but he hasn’t; not Cleveland.!
He is exactly where he was before. He
is honest in his stand. He is a friend ,
to Wall street. Wall street nominat
ed him and paid the campaign expen-,
ses, and now he is trying to deserve ;
the approbation of his backers ? Isn’t
that fair? It's these Southern Sena-j
tors (except the semi-Republican ones i
from Louisiana and the Stuffed Proph
et from Texas, and the badly whipped i
commander of the Confederate Vets I
from Jawgy, and one or two insignifi- 1
cant coons in that illustrious body)
that have gone buck on “our old par
tee."
Friend Harper is one of thousands,
perhaps, who ought not to be studying
too hard about these things. They get
their brains all mixed up the gray
matter and the other stuff blended in
such a way that they don't know |
“where they are at."
Y ou see when the campaign was on
and every body’s eyes were blared
open and those third party men were
insisting on discussing the financial
question, Democrats said that it wasn't
that, it was the Tariff and the Force
bill. And they accused the third par
ty fellows of trying to deceive the peo
ple and that they, the Third party, was I
in favor of the Force bill and a high
tariff. And they said that Mr. Cleve
land was honest and would do what
ever the platform demanded.
And lots of them wanted office bad;
they needed it in their business. Some
wanted the old Fourth Auditorship of
the Treasury, that smells like Lynch,
and like to have fought about that dar
key's old shoes. And now they ain’t in
it and are sad. and reflect on any man
who would go atishing to Buzzard’s
Bay.
Well, John Sherman has got the G.
O. P. where Hans had the hen, and
Cleveland and all of them are looking
to him as the proper Moses to bring
them out of the wilderness.
And yet they call it the “Democratic
party.” Well, there’s nothing in a
name, no how.
Yankee Doodle went to town
And bought a little pony.
He stuck a feather in his tail
And called him “Macearoui."
Aud John Sherman and Wall street
will call their purchase “ Democratic
party”—ears and all.

A HUMILIATING ADMISSION.
The Clarion-Ledger is almost will
ing to admit that in believing he was
bigger than the Democratic party,
President Cleveland did not exagger
ate the case.—Clarion-Ledger {lending
Democratic organ of Mississippi).
Just so ; and at the same time it be-!
gins to appear that old John Sherman j
is " bigger ” than drover.
Prof. J. H. Lehman, of Edwards, J
Miss., writes: •• Permit urn to com-j
mend you ou the conduct of Tue Lead
ed ; especially on your tirm stand [
against mob law. The liquor traffic is [
father of all kinds of anarchy and |
mob violence, and it is the part of the
Prohibition press to put purer
thoughts into the minds of the peo
ple. If we had a few brave papers in
every State, which would exert such
influence, the lawless would soou be
sifppressed. There are many offenses
which by their out want appearances
seem to justify any sort of procedure,
but there is no limit or stopping place ,
—no place to draw the lino.”
It is at last beginning to dawn on
thousands of honest, well-meaning
Mississippians, that the biggest hum
bug uud fraud now masquerading be- j
I fore the American people is the or
ganization extensively advertised ev
erywhere as the National Democratic
‘ Party.

A SCRAP OF HISTORY.
Why the President Decided fo Reject
the Compromise.
(tov. Russell and Senator Sherman Fay
Him a Sunday Visit.
Now that it is known that the Presi
dent has quashed the compromise bill,
the reasons for this change on the.part
of the Chief Executive are given by a
j Washington correspondent. With one
j blow the President shattered into
| small pieces the compromise scheme
1 which the Democratic executive com
mittee, headed by Mr. (lorniau, had
I so elaborately constructed, as it was
supposed, with the tacit consent of the
President himself and the express con
sent of at least] two members of the
Cabinet.
The influences which were brought
to bear upon Mr. Cleveland were quite
in keeping with the other features of
this most remarkable episode. At his
country home in Woodley, President
Cleveland yesterday had two visitors. I
One was a Democrat, (iov. Russell, of
Massachu setts. Gov. Russell told the
President that the passage of the com
promise bill would destroy any hopes
t he Democrats may have had of carry
ing Massachusetts, not only now, but i
for years to come.
The other visitor was Senator Sher
man. Mr. Sherman himself describes 1
wliat he had told Mr. Cleveland. Sen
ator Sherman impressed upon the Pres
ident's mind that a great crisis has
been reached in the affairs of the gov
ernment. The compromise bill, he de
clared. was worse than the existing
law. To pass the compromise, or even
simply repeal, without providing for
an issue of bonds would be madness, j
The compromise was worse than the:
existing law because it added slop,000,
(XX) to the amount of silver in circula
tion, took out of the treasury the seig
niorage bullion which was placed
there to protect parity, and made no
provision for the maintenance of the
gold reserve, which is the pledge of
the Government’s ability to protect its
issues.
Whether Secretary Carlisle was im- I
posed upon by the traders and compro
misers of the steering committee, or
whether he went farther in arranging
terms than he had authority from the
President to go, and when the Presi- j
dent called him down, had nothing to
do but to throw responsibility on oth- j
er parties, the future will probably de
velope. The odd thing about the mis- |
understanding is that Voorhees, Pal
mer, Gray, White, McPherson and other
radical repealers were misled, and sup
posed the Administration, through Mr.
Carlisle, had agreed to the plan.
Chief Justice Harper’s Lament.
Mr. Cleveland and his partisans may
congratulate themselves on successful
ly steering the repeal bill through the
! senate, but in doing so they turn their
backs on a strong and respectable ele
ment of the voting population, and
drive away from the Democratic party,
at a critical moment, thousands who
had come to us because they were tired
of the centralization of the old Repub
: lican party and its policy of doing the
bidding of Wall street. Ray mom!
j Gazette, Deni.
The Power Mcliiml the “ lleiuoerucic ” J
Thnnie.
So it seems that Joint Sherman was j
the “power behind the throne ” after j
all, in smashing the silver compromise
bill. His visit to the President Sun- :
day evening seems to have done the j
work. Clariou-Leilytr, Deni.
■- I
Mr. L. T. Carlisle, of the West Point ;
Leader, has decided ho cannot become
a candidate for the State Senate from
Clay, without too great a sacrifice of 1
his buiness interests. He is correct. I
The editor who successfully runs a
country newspaper these times, has >
no time to throw away on a little office
with five times more trouble and work
attached to it than pay. As for the
honor, to conduct a clean, honorable,
independent, well edited newspaper,
such as Pro. Carlisle publishes, is as
much of an honor as being Governor.
The Clarion-Ledger thinks the Dem
ocratic party is “in the middle of a
mighty bad fix,” and plaintively wails.
I “ Where are we at, any way Looks
j to us like the pompous old deceiver of
the people has fallen into the arms of
John Shermau and Wall street, just
I where The Leader last year warned
| the people it would land them.
1* now looks as though the next uom- j
inee of the Democratic party for Pres-'
iilent might be the Hon. John Slier- i
man, of Ohio (of Eliza Pinkerton no ]
toriety^, and for Vice-President the 1
Hon. Force Bill Lodge, of Massachu- J
setts, David B. Hill, of New York, or ,
“Boss” Reed, of Maine.

THIS COPIAH ALLIANCE.
Addresses by President Kethley, State
Lecturer Iturkitt and Others.
Editor Mississippi Leader:
1 visited the Copiah county Alliance
held with Pleasant, Hill Alliance, on
the "24 and 25 of October. Thirteen
subordinate lodges were represented.
Mr. Wm. M. Kethley was installed as
President of the county Alliance on
the morning of the first day, and deliv
ered a very interesting and pointed ad
dress to the members of tho Order,
which was ordered published in the
Copiah Signal and all papers friendly j
to the Alliance cause. The meeting i
as a whole was instructive, but space
forbids mo giving a detailed account
of all the proceedings; two things how
ever I can not forbear. First, they
adopted a county life insurance of
which any member in good standing
in the Alliance may have the benefit,
by paying a small iuiation fee and
quarterly dues. Upon the death of
any member of the company, there
will be an assessment of fifty cents up
on each member in order to raise an
amount of money, which shall go to
the bereaved or legal claimants of the
deceased: said amount never to exceed
*500.00. Second, they adopted the
Chickasaw Messenger as their Alliance
paper and The Mississippi Le.vdkk as
their Prohibition paper.
The second day was devoted mostly
to public speaking. Capt. Burkitt
spoke for nearly two hours upon the
leading issues of the Alliance and Peo-!
pie’s party. His speech was able, to j
the point and very enthusiastically re
ceived.
Mr. N. M. Hollingsworth made a
short and instructive Alliance speech
in tho evening, and your humble cor
respondent made an effort to show up
the Prohibition cause, but for lack of
time did not get to complete the
speech as it was outlined. The Peo- i
pie’s party movement in Copiah is very
strong and quite sure of success in
the State Senatorial contest. Prohibi
tion, to which the party is unequivocal
ly committed will be held well in the
foreground as one of the issues
of the campaign. Capt. Bur
kitt has promised to make a number
of People’s party speeches before the
campaign closes. Mr. Kethley, their
nominee, is a man of unimpeachable
character, and if elected will faithfully
serve his constituents. May the Lord
give them tho victory.
Yours for the right,
L. D. Poset.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report
Was too Previous.
The New York World, the unreason- j
able and intolerant advocate of un
conditional repeal, the day it was an
nounced that the compromise had fal
len through and the repeal bill would
undoubtedly pass, pointed with glow
ing pride to the fact that cotton ad-!
vanced twenty points. With this as a
text, the World proceeded to read the
Southern Senators a severe lecture on
their perverseness for having opposed
the measure, and asked how were they
to answer to their constituents for the j
millions of dollars they had lost by j
their obstructive policy.
Since then cotton has steadily de-!
dined and continues daily on the I
down grade. The repeal bill is still :
considered a certainty, showing that j
it has had nothing to do with the ad !
vance. Silence, under the circum- j
stances, is golden, and the World has

The Democratic Party-An In.lependm,
Estimate.
It is a serious coincidence that the
Democratic party occupies upon its
return to power very much the same
critical position before the country
as it occupied when it went out with
James Buchanan. It is confronted l,y
an issue vital to the nation and it
own existence. And it is prepared to
meet it in the same way it met the i
sue of 1800. It is split into three fiU'
tions, each at war with the other tw.,
just as it was when it came out of the
Charleston convention and continued
to be until national calamity followed
its division and bickering.* As a mi
nority it has proven itself strong alert
resourceful, combative; as a majority
i it is again weak, vacillating, disunited
It is afraid of its own shadow.
The Hinds County Alliance meets at
Raymond next Monday.
