The Leader has made a clubbing ar rangements with a few representative journals of different classes, with either one of which it will be sent one year to any subscriber at the following rates: You pay your money and take your ohoice. The Leader and the Voice, (the ablest of Prohibition papers). fl.75 The Loader and The Citizen (official organ of the National Pro. Committee). 1.25 The leader and the Chickasaw Messenger (Official Organ of the State Alliance).. 1.75 The Leader and the Clarion-Ledger (lead ing Democratic paper of Mississippi)— 1.75 Vaillant, the French Anarchist, has been sentenced to death. It is a wise farmer who raises his own hog and hominy and keeps out of debt. Local option is not Prohibition. It is simply license in the alternative. Don’t overlook that. New Orleans has a Paradise on earth. He is a Episcopal clergyman and parts his hair in the middle. The Memphis Public Ledger, the oldest afternoon paper in the South, has suspended publication. ‘ # A. L. Ware, a Smith county farmer, killed a 20 months old hog the other day that weighed 4Go pounds. The block of buildings south of the court house square in Canton, was destroyed by fire on the 10th inst. After a short vacation, the popular St. Stanislaus Commercial College, lo cated at Bay St. Louis, has re-opened with over 100 students in attendance. If you are not a regular subscriber to The Leader and receive a sample copy, send us your address and a dol lar and let us send you the paper for one year. Frank Burkitt can proudly say what none of his Democratic traducers can truthfully say—he has not sacrificed his political principles for the sake of au empty name. A resolution by Senator Roano en dorsing the vote of Mississippi’s Sena tors and six representatives on the sil ver question, was voted down in State Senate last Saturday by a vote of 23 to 17. Let the Democrats now cease abusing Andrew Carnegie, the great Pennsyl vania iron king and Republican Pro tectionist. lie endorses Mr. Cleve land’s financial policy and Mr. Cleve land’s “tariff reform” policy. Mr. Gladstone recently celebrated his 81th birthday, and he is still sound in body and mind. Another prom inent old man is Pope Leo XIII, aged 85; and an old lady of considera ble notoriety is Queen Victoria. We wonder how ex-Gov. Lowry en joys being advertised by some of the Democratic newspapers of the State as a poker gambler? The editors of these journals appear to think the Governor ought consider it a compliment. Many of the fellows who last year threw up their hats for Cleveland, now scarcely have any hats to throw up and are badly out at the elbows and knees besides. That Democratic prosperity train has been fearfully wrecked some where. If the Wilson bill as it now stands, becomes a law, there will be a defici ency in the revenue of 875,000,(XX) to bo provided for; and that is expected to be done by means of another bill, in creasing the internal revenue on cer tain articles. In a suit at Dallas last week against the Western Union for 810,000 for men tal anguish, the judge handed down a decision that “mental anguish” had not enough substance upon which to have a cash valuation any more than a big disgust. There was a destructive fire in the “white city” on the night of the 8th inst. Borne of the fiuest of the build ings were destroyed, and one fireman lost his life. The origin of the lire is chared to two revengeful tramps who had been kicked out of the music hall. TIME EXTENDED ! A FINE FAMILY PAPER FREE! Given Away to Yearly Subscri bers of The Leader !

MISSISSIPPI LKAUKIt CO., llrookliaveu, Miss. Til K I.KlilSI.ATl KK. In both the House and Senate, dur ing the past week, a large number of bills have been introduced, but really nothing has as yet been done. Strange as it may seem, many bills have been introduced and entertained, in tlagrant violat ion of the constitutional mandate which forbids the consideration of such legislation at the short session. The question of greatest interest is the Penitentiary, but the result of the discussion cannot yet be fully conjec tured. In both houses bills have been introduced looking to the immediate purchase of a farm, the erection of buildings and walls, and the removal of all convicts thereon. There isagood deal of opposition to this plan, but it is gaining favor and will doubtless pass both Houses. Some want the convicts to be used in building the Gulf & Ship Island Railroad, but the Stato had some experience with that concern a few years ago and will not repeat the experiment. Several bills have been introduced looking to the relief of boards of su pervisors which have county convicts on their hands and in their jails, like Hinds. The disposition among mem bers sems to be to give the supervisors wider scope. In other words, to allow them to lease the prisoners on the most advantageous terms. T1IK TARIFF. The fight on the tariff bill is at last on. The effort to delay the (liscussioh has been shrewdly pursued by the Re publicans in the House, and despite a Democratic majority of fM) the superior tactical skill and discipline and cour tage of the Republicans prevented consideration of the bill, and only by arresting absentees and compelling their attendance have the Democrats been able to secure a quorum inde pendently of the Republicans and Pop ulists. The time to vote on the Wilson bill has been fixed for Jan. 20. It will in all probability go through the House. In the Senate the fate of the bill is more uncertain, the Democratic majority being small, and a number of Democratic Senators, being strongly disposed to embarrass the administra tion wherever a good chance is offered. On the fate of this bill and its effects on the country depends the destiny of the Republican Party. Let the Wilson bill be passed and be followed by any marked degree of prosperity, and the one issue that holds the Republican | Party together is removed. Let the I bill be followed by continued dopres | sion and the Republicans are likely to j have an indliuite lease of power. ? Since the departure of the Louisiana State Lottery from t his city at the close j of last year, the shops of most of the i ticket vendors have remained open, J and vendors are arrested daily for sell ing tickets for the New Orleans Pre mium Club.—N. O. Christian Advocate, Jan. 11th. 1894. After all, it may be that Constitu | tional Prohibition of the Lottery in ! Louisiana was a serious blunder, and ! that “local option” and high license I would have been better. Public senti i ment is not sufficiently educated and j advanced in every part of Louisiana yet against this evil, Lottery tickets, as we see, are being openly sold in spite of the constitutional inhibition, and the State loses the license money. Sup pose you suggest the local option poli I icyj Bro. Black, as Bishop Galloway does for the saloon iniquity in Missis j sippi. Tue Leader management have in | contemplation some plans which will be in the nature of an agreeable sur prise to the friends of the paper when they are developed. We intend to make the paper a stronger and more ! aggressive force for the Prohibition 1 party this year than at any time in its • history. IHSIIOP (lALM)WAY AND LOCAL OP TION. The Leader today publishes a review of Bishop Galloway’s position on local option and political Prohibition, by Rev. J. H. Gambrell. Mr. Gambrell, it will be remembered, for ten years filled the position of State Prohibition Lecturer of Mississippi, traveling all over the State agitating and perform, ing arduous and often times danger ous pioneer work, and it is no exaggeration to say, in this way did more to create and arouse the pub lic sentiment and set in motiou the forces which have brought the Prohi bition movement to its present stage, than any other one man in the common wealth. Mr. Gambrell’s article is long, but it will well repay a careful reading. Next week we will publish a criti cism of the Bishop’s position by Or. J. I). Smith, the eminent Methodist lay man, of Paducah, Ky., whose writings have deservedly won for him a Nation al reputation. While deeply regretting that there | should bo any serious differences 1 among Prohibitionists as to methods, The Leader is. profoundly impressed | that no better time can come than 1 right now for a full and free discussion of these differences, to the end, that error may be exposed and light and truth prevail. Bishop Galloway, as we j see it, instead of being the great, ag i gressive Prohibition leader ho once was, has become, simply and solely be ' cause he has so chosen, an ex leader, nay more, an obstructionist,—failing absolutely to keep step with the grand reform movement he did so much a i few years ago to inaugurate and in I spire with enthusiasm aud givo mo j mentum. If the Bishop should decide to speak further in vindication of his position, he too will be cheerfully accorded all the space required. CAIINKGIE KNDOUSES JT. The political sensation of the past week is Mr. Andrew Carnegie's letter to The Tribune in favor of the passage of the Wilson tariff bill. Mr. Carnegie was for years a close friend of Blaine and has been credited with being a heavy contributor to Republican cam paign funds for years. He has always been a strong protectionist, and is one still, but ho makes the point that what the nation's industries most need is a rest from tariff changes and some thing like permanency in the schedule. He foresees no such rest under the McKinley bill; while, if the Wilson bill is passed, the Democrats will be estopped from assaults upon it because it is their own bill, and he assumes that the Republicans will be well enough satisfied with it to let it alone. He, therefore, appeals to his fellow manufacturers whether it would not1 be “infinitely better to have a moder ately satisfactory bill passed by the Democratic party, than even a more satisfactory bill passed by the Repub lican Party.*’ Ami he adds: “We all know that uncertainty in regard to import duties is ruinous to our inter ests.” < H A IKMAN WAKE’S VIEW. In the last letter received from State Chairman lleury Ware, written from North Adams, Mass., he says: “ I read with interest the Thanksgiv ing sermons of Revs. Sproles and Gal loway. Bro. Galloway has got his poli tics very much mixed with religion and Prohibition with the ballot. Better once than never. I wonder if ho will stand by it through another campaign. I hope he will. Tho time is near when the church will have to dose its doors to members who vote for whisky men or parties, or go back on its declara tion of principles.” Tin- Time Extended. Mr. Editor: -I send 81.00 for my re newal of the Leader and Home and Farm for 1804. I waited to the last, hoping to get two new subscribers to send in with this, but failed. I fear people do not appreciate Tiie Leader as they should. Just keep pegging away, for the doctrine you preach is steadily growing and will finally tri umph. Let me know if I should get you two new subscribers in a few weeks, will you let them have The Leader and Home and Farm under your late offer for one dollar. I wish you abundant success in your efforts battling for t he right. Sarah I. Rcssell. Humphreys, Miss. As will be seen by announcement in 1 another column wo we have arranged j to extend our Home and Farm premi um offer until March 1st. We hope all our friends will make a special efTort during this extension. Yes, we are go ing to keep pegging away. We know we are right,and we are going to follow Davy Crockett’s advice to the letter. All (lay long the United States flags were flying, inverted, over the govern ment buildings, which, according to law of all nations, is a flag of distress. —Clarion-Ledger, Jan. 11th. No need, Brother Henry, of invert ing the flags to notify the people that distress is in the land. They have all been personally aware of distress ever since your Mars Grover Cleveland pr John Sherman one the people scarce ly know which—was inaugurated Pres ident. If they have not entirely rot ted, you can reinvert the flags when ; the Democratic party or, John Sher man, has brought back prosperity. It would have been infinitely better for the reputation of Bishop Galloway as a Prohibitionist - occupying the po sition he now does on the liquor ques tion—if he had never had his memora ble controversy with ex-President Davis, in which he achieved such a sig nal victory over the great Southern chieftain, nor \yritten the editorial in the New Orleans Christian Advocate which Rev Mr. Gambrell today quotes, wherein he emphasized Father Math ew’s monumental mistake. LOCAL OPTION AND PROHIBITION (Continued from firat page.) framed by its Ways and Means Committee, a measure to extend the bonded liquor period from 3 to s years; that is to say, to an nually loan to the distillers, with out interest, for the period of 8 years, the vast sum of $100,000, 000 to $125,000,000. Thus that party is fostering and increasing the liquor power. The National People's party is I said to be subservient to the li quor power. The Prohibition party is the only organized foe to the liquor traffic, to be found in the arena of political parties to day. Christian citizens, and Pro hibitionists, especially ought to tind it easy to choose wisely among this group of parties. The one is their friend, because its ba sic principle is the cause they have at heart, and the others arc their enemies, because they foster what they believe is wrong, (bald ly and destructive to all they hold sacred. I would not be harsh with those who do not vote with the Prohi bition party, and yet claim to be Prohibitionists. I think one of two things is true of them, viz: They yet seriously lack convic tion as to the infernalism of the liquor traffic, or else they lack the moral courage to break away from their old parties, which are putting them and the saloon keepers in bed together. Which ever of these two things is true, or if both are true, I feel a sympathy for any one in such a state, and 1 will do any thing 1 can for their relief. Dr. Gallo way's advice against the organi tion of a Prohibition party is out of due time by more than two de cades. The Prohibition party was organized in 1N(>9. That staunch Methodist and patriotic statesman, Judge James P>l;fck, of Pennsyl vania, was the first nominee of the party for President. Every Presidential election from 1N72 to the present has witnessed a Prohibition party ticket in the field with an increased vote in each election. Its growth has been much more rapid than the Republican party for the same period. Between 900 and 1,000 votes were counted for the Prohi bition party in this State last year. It is believed that more than twice that number were cast. If Dr. Galloway knows of a single instance where a reform movement, involving the finances, morality, humanity, purification of politics of a nation, was ever carried to a successful issue, with out being incarnated by a politic al party, he knows one thing that has entirely escaped the notice of the searching eyes of historians. Slavery would exist today, if those who opposed it had kept their contest on non-partisan grounds. The Louisiana Lottery Company would have been re chartered but for its prohibition having become the shibboleth and rallying cry of a political party. This State would today be under carpet-bag and negro rule, if there had never been a party con structed on the dominant idea of a white man's government, and so on around the whole circle of history. But Dr. Galloway wants to continue Prohibition on an ex periment that has failed (for the ; best of reasons) everywhere and every time it has been tried in all the history of the world. Like all other questions, Prohibition will be the rule in America, when | the party which represents it comes into power, and not before that good hour. In this State Dr. Galloway wants the Democratic party to be ; depended on to take care of Pro hibition. It would be as wise for ! Methodists, Presbyterians and 1 Ilaptists to depend on—say, the Catholics—to advance their doctrines. The Catholics, would be as faithful to the trust as the Democratic party is to Prohibi tion. All the anti-liquor legislation we have, we had to literally thumb-screw out of the party, and i we have never known in advance what wo would get. Wo have I been, all the life of the Prohibi tion movement, in the humiliat ing attitude of beggars. Those who choose to think that it is wis est ami most profitable to beg rather than accept the invitation of friends in a well established political party with a marvelous ly increasing vote year by year, can continue to vote with a whis ky party and pay for tin* privi lege of so doing by begging; but as for me, I will vote with and for the party that represents my cause. 1 cannot talk for Prohi bition and vote for a whisky par tv, or man. I cannot denounce as “the sum of all villainies the li quor business and vote for a par ty that endorses the business. lU,w any Christian man can anathematize the saloon from pul pit or platform, and then vote for a saloon-controlled party, 1 cannot conceive. V* hat do saloon-keep ers care for Conference, Conven tion and Synodical resolutions, ‘denouncing their business, so long as those who adopt them go to the polls on election day and vote for the party that fosters their business i If there must needs be inconsistency, our religious de nominations should reverse the or der, hoary with age, adopt reso lutions endorsing the liquor traf fic and go to tin* elections and vote against the business and par ties that foster it. The advan tage to Prohibition would be in estimably greater, and the sa loons would soon be swept off this continent. There are three or four things about the Prohibition party that strongly commend it to me : 1. It demands tiie uncondition al abolition of the liquor traffic in all this nation, and the conse quent, emancipation of our poli tics, and public men from thug and slum domination. This isn’t true of any other party in t lie country. 2. There is not a brewer, dis tiller, or liquor vendor of any kind, not a gambler or prostitute, in fellowship with the party or that endorses it. This cannot be truthfully said of any other po litical party in the United States. 3. It is aggressive, and suffi ciently conservative on all great questions involving the interest of confronting the American people. It takes unequivocal positions on all questions. In this it has su perior claims over all other par ties. 4. It is preeminently the edu cational force for Prohibition in this Republic. Its campaigning never ceases. If I)r. Galloway likes “local option” because of the opportunity it affords for ag itation and educational work, lie ought to like tin1 Prohibition par ty more for “local option” will bear no comparison to it as an educational scheme. J. H. OAMBRELL. Brookhaven, Miss., Jan. 12, 1893. A new lottery enterprise, managed by Dominick C. O'Mally, Robert F. (Jnichard, Edgar St. Coran, L. A. Gour dain and others whose names are not as yet positively known, has been launched in New Orleans at No. 11 St. Charles street, under the style of the Premium Club, but last week it was enjoined by the courts and all of its drawing paraphernalia seized. It will find it rough sailing. About six ticket sellers were also enjoined. Ex-President Harrison has a brother named Scott, who has been credited with being a Democrat, and according ly was nominated by Cleveland as sur veyor of the port of Kansas City, where he lives. Now it turns out, after an investigation by Senator Vest, that Scott, at the last election, voted the Republican ticket straight, saving a few unimportant scratches. National finances are getting in a desperate condition. The government is spending about $10,000,000 a month more than its receipts. Secretary Car lisle has given notice that unless Con gress acts promptly and provides for the issue of a new denomination of bonds, he will make an issue of 4 per cent bonds under the act cf 1875. Oh, yes, give ’em a chance! Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, editress of the Woman's Journal in Boston, Mass., is devoting most of her time to the writing of a biography of her fa mous mother, the late Lucy Stone. Miss Blackwell is a young woman of unusual force and beauty of character, bred in her mother's ways and pur poses, and greatly interested in the cause of woman suffrage. A bill is before the Legislature amending the existing law so druggists can sell without a physician’s proscrip tion, preparations containing not more than 2 per cent, of the sulphate of opi um. This is done in behalf of citizens whose patriotism has resulted in large families and whose need of paregoric is frequent, urgent and great. There isn't a Democratic debater in America who can take the present at titude of his party and defend it from the charge of having gone into power upon a colossal causeway of infamous lies ! Lies on the silver questiou; on the National Bank question; on the tariff question; and on such other questions as were considered worth ly ing about.—Tow Wntaon. IT IS WORTH 5io,ooo TO ME. For the past seven or eight years 1 have been a victim of Nervous Dyspepsia in its worst form. I have spent thousands of dol.ars, and have kept poor paying for med icine and doctors’ bills. Up to the time I began the use o \\•M™ son’s Matchless Mineral W atcr, every kind of food caused me un told misery that none but God and myself knew. After having tried every thing that I read or heard of I must confess that I had no faith cr hope whatever that the water would do me any good. But “like a drowning man grasping at a straw,” I bought from Mr. Wil kinson one quart of his Mineral Water and began to take one des sertspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Contrary to my expecta tions and to my very great joy and great surprise, in three or four days 1 began to improve, continued to do so steadily until I was entirely well. It cured me in spite of my self. I could hardly realize the truth. Now I can and do eat any thing I want, at any time, without it disagreeing with me in the least. My digestion is perfect, my heart trouble is all gone, I sleep well and my general health is all I could wish. All of which I am happy to say, was brought about b}’ one quart of Wilkinson’s Matchless Mineral Water in the space of six weeks. Will say in addition that I have every reason to know that as a con stitutional nerve tonic and restora ;.ve it is unsurpassed. For $10,000 j would not be put back where I was when 1 began the use of the water and not be able to get any more of it. Any one suffering as I did can, if they choose, write to me and I will cheerfully answer. W. J. Gardner. p. O. Box 73, Montgomery, Ala. — FOR SAI.K 11Y— Cl'??. M. Push, 106 Camp St..
