Are you one of those Prohibitionists

The Prohibition Convention meets
tomorrow at Jackson.
The Senate is still tinkering on the
Tariff bill with the Sugar Trust on
deck.
The race for Congress in Willie Pol
lard Breckinridge's district is getting
hot enough to light a match-.
By agreement of counsel the case of
Preudegrast. the assassin of Mayor
Harrison, will not be tried until fall.
The case will come up June 11, but will
be continued until the September term
of court to allow Judge Chotlain to
preside, as he will be engaged with civil
cases until that time.
An exchange says dancing makes
girls’ feet large. Another says ice
cream produces freckles, while a learn
ed physician is of the opinion that
hanging on the gate causes rheuma
tism. It seems that the only pleasure
girls are allowed in the future are wash
ing dishes and attending the house.
Look here. Prohibition brother,wha
is the difference, morally, between
signing and publishing your name on I
a saloon petition, and signing and pub
lishing it on the club roll of a liquor
party, which is pledged to license the
saloon? Ask your boy, who is going to
school and studying moral philosophy,
and perhaps his answer will surprise
you?
It is a curious feature of politics in
this State that United States Senators
are elected so long before their ser
vice begius. Senator Walthall has now
been elected for nearly two years and
a half for a term that does not begin
until next year. Senator George's
present term does not expire until
March, 1890, yet the Legislature that is
to be elected next year must choose his
successor at the January term, 18%.
In 1892 both Senators were elected by
the same Legislature. In 18% and 1900
only one Senator will be elected each
year, but in 1804 both places will again
be tilled by the same Legislature.
Some years they will be elected over
three years before their service begins
and at other times only about one year
in advance. It is an anomalous state
of affairs. Kosciutko Star.
We tender our grateful thanks to
our brethren and sisters of the Missis
sippi Press Association that met at
Greenwood on the 16th iust. for re
electing us treasurer of the Association
in our absence. We were much griev
ed for uot being able to be present in
persou at this Convention.—Pascagou
la Democrat-Star.
The convention was much grieved
too, Pro. Mayors, aud passed a resolu
tion tendering you its sympathy, coup
led with the hope that your financial
aud physical condition may so improve
as to enable you to be with us at our
uext re union. To have missed only
oue meeting in twenty-nine years makes
a record of which any member should
be proud aud thankful, and we tender
you hearty congratulations. Magnolia
Gazette.
THE LAST CALL.
This issue of The Leader will bear
the third X mark to a good many sub
scribers who have hitherto failed to
respond to our request to renew.
Much as we would like to carry these
names longeron our list and have them
read The Leader, we cannot afford to
do ao unless they pay up. A dollar is
but comparatively little to the indi
vidual subscriber, but these dollars
multiplied, amount to an important
sum to the publishers. All who see
their paper crossed are again respect
fully urged to renew at once, tor oth
erwise tH* paper will be discontinued
after this issue.
THE “MILEAGE" STEAL.
• We have heard a great deal frotr
Democrats about retrenchment an*1
reform in the matter of National ex
penditures, yet Congressmen contium
to draw pay for “mileage" at the al>
surd rate of twenty cents a mile t
relic of ttie days long gone by, whet
transportation was really expensive
and when there was not e\on the sti'
piciou that it would ever l»e reduced
to its present three eeuts a mile rate
Representatives from the extreme \\ est
and Southwest make from £"•*' to
gl.Y»t a year “mileage:" and as it is gen
erally understood that, through some
flcflou or other, they evade the free
ticket prohibition of tlie interstate
commerce act. it is easy to be seen that
an attack on ••mileage' would hit them
in a very soft spot.
Not only do Congressmen rob the
tax-payers in this shameless way, but
ill addition, the last Congress, with the
House overwhelmingly Democratic,
voted to allow each Representative and
Senator a private secretary at a
year. As these positions arc generally
filled by some member of Congress
men'* families or other kinsmen, this
act virtually amounted to Congress
men Democrats and Republicans ulike,
voting to increase their own salaries
£1,200, or to a total of 86.2('d per year,
besides the “mileage" steal referred to.
While multiplied thousands of peo
ple of the Nation me staiviug and e;;n
not find employment; while a still lar
ger number are having a daily life and
death struggle to keep the wolf from
theitoor. arid while unnumbered thou*
amis are being humi)’.mg»«J by the sham
profession* referred to and ieii<nou*i>
believed the millennium of reform
would gome when the Democrats got
in power, these are worth con
sidering.
GEN. a. I*. IKK I'LAfKII IN A WHONG
LIGHT.
Iu a letter from Miss Belle Kear
ney in the W. C. T. U. depart
ment of today's Leader, occurs the fol
lowing sentence:
I had hoped to be allowed the pi-ivi
lege, while iu Starkville, of addressing
the students at the A. and M. College,
iu a body, as I had been invited to do
at Millsaps College, the University at
Oxford, and other institutions of learn
ing in this State and others, North apd
South, but Gen. Lee objected; on the
ground, as I was informed by reliable
aut hority, that the ceil lege was undei
Democratic regime and it was not de
sirable to have Prohibition party poll
tie's introduced.
When Miss Kearney’s letter was re
ceived, believing, from what we knew
of Gen. Lee, that her informant might
have misnuderstooel or misquoted him,
and at t he same; time thinking it tie1
were correctly reported, such an exhi
bition of partisan zeal, under the cir
cumstances, was deserving of the se
verest censure, the editor of The Lead
er decided te> write to Gen. Lee him
self and inquire if he had been cor
rectly reported.
In his reply, which has just beeu re
ceived, Geu. Lee says;
1 thank you very much for your let
ter by which you give me a chance t(
state the facts as I understand then:
about Miss Belle Kearney. Her reiki
bio informant certainly never heard
me use the language she put in my
mouth. I never used such language,
As the head of the College, I have al
ways favored Prohibition as far as pos
sible personally, and have voted ac
cordingly, but I am obliged to have im
partial rules. So many applications
are made by public lecturers for use of
the College Chapel, that long ago it
was determined not to loud it out for
such purposes. It has not been used
more than half dozen times in suck
cases since the opening of the College
14 yTears ago, by public lecturers. It
lias been refused several times this
session, before Miss Kearney’s visit. 11
has been refused since her visit. Uu
der this general rule, it was refused foi
her use.
I have thought it best for the stu
dents in such cases, to attend the lec
tures in the town of Starkville, as oth
ers did, and this rule has worked well
till her visit, and avoided friction and
unpleasant discrimination, I feel sure
Miss Kearney did not iutend to convey
the idea her language expresses, viz:
That she was deprived of the privilege
of addressing the students while in
Starkville.
Tne iacts are, sue uemereu se\i-i<o
lectures in Starkville, which were gen
erally attended by the students. Af
ter I bad refused the use of the C’ol
lege Chapel, a member of the \ . M. C.
A. of tlie College, asked if she could be
invited to address the students at their
meeting on Sunday in their own hall.
I agreed to it. This hall was built by
subscription from the faculty and stu
dents. So it appears, that Miss Kear
ney did enjoy the privilege of ad
dressing the body of students on the
College Campus on Sunday afternoon,
and she could not have done so with
out my assent being given.
This statement from (Jen. Lee will
no doubt convince Miss Kearney that
she'wrote under a misapprehension ol
his position, and at the same timi
be a satisfactory explanation to tin
public.
bishop Galloway left last night for
Shelbyville, Ky.. to deliver the com
meneement sermon before the Science
Hill School, famed throughout the
South as the school established by Mrs.
Tevis, a distinguished educator. He
goes from there to bowling Green. Ky.,
to deliver the literary address at Pot
ter College ou Wednesday. He will re
turn from there to Jackson, and will be
present during the commencement ex
ercises of Mi 11.saps' College. He Las

.Marriage Law.
By the (.'ode of 18t)"J, for the first
time iu the history of Mississippi, the
common law on the subject of what
constitutes a valid marriage has been
changed, so as to require the issuance
of a marriage license as an essential to
the validity of the marriage.
Xo marriage, however publicly and
solemdly celebrated iu any church by
it regular ordained priest or minister
of the Gospel, is valid without the pri
or issuance of a marriage license by
the Circuit Court. Such a marriage is
absolutely null and void, and the chil
dren of such a marriage are illegitG
mate,
Xo emergency or exigency or urgen
cy is so great as to excuse the failure
to get license, and no circumstances of
whatever character can render the
marriage legal, or give it the least val
idity or lauding force.
On the other hand the very singular
incongruity is presented by the Code
of I8D1I. iu this, that it does uot require
any public ceremony or celebration of
a marriage as a condition of its validi
ty. And thus a common law marriage
entered into by the parties informally
and simply by mutual consent, is a val
id marriage, provided only that the
parties first procure a liceuse. Iu oth
er words, if the two parties first get a
license and then verbally or in writing
agree that they are married, then they
are lawfully married. But if they do
uot get a liceuse, although they are
married in a church full of people by
au ordained minister of the Gospel, iu
the most solemn manner, then the
whole ceremony is worthless and such
a marriage is void.
This is a remarkable law. Vicksburg

The disclosures made before the com
mittee to investigate the attempt of the
Sugar Trust to bribe enough senators,
to secure a high duty on sugar, are
sickening to every man who loves his
country, regardless of party name. It
makes one lose faith iu the future of
the Republic when a great party which
for years cried out against the cor
ruption that was cankering the core of
tiie commonwealth, and demanded re
form and relief for the people, is shown
by evidence of undoubted truth, to
have sold itself to the most damnable
trust which robs the people, for the
sake of a fat contribution to the cam
paign fund. Not only are Congress
men and Senators, professional poli
ticians, involved, but the slime and
stench of corruption has splashed and

There is more truth than poetry in the j

hat both of the old parties are depend- j

Yes, Just Watch!
Nova Scotia seems to carry the ban
ner. In the plebiscite on prohibition the
other (lay she rolled np a majority of 4
to 1 in its favor. Manitoba voted nearly
8 to 1 in favor, Prince Edward’s Island
did equally well, Ontario gave a major
ity of nearly 90,000, and now comes
Nova Scotia to break all previous rec
ords. How many of our daily papers
will tell their readers anything about
these remarkablo figures? Watch and
see.—Voice.

STOP THE WASTE.
Colonel George W. Bain'* n*n to Prevent
Hard Time*.
Close every saloon in New York, book
door and front, for one week, and sta
tion a policeman at each door, and then
some one to watch the policeman, and
when the sun goes down on the next
Saturday evening there will not be a
beefsteak left in a butcher’s shop. It is
a wonder to me that the business men ^
of a community do not rise and drive
this pirate off tho sea of commerce. It I
is a wonder to me that the politicians
cannot see that this cancer is as surely
eating into the life of our country to de
stroy it as that cancer which ate into
and destroved tho lifo of General Grant.
Ah, they do see it, but they are afraid
of the power of the whisky ring.
When you remind them that some
thing ought to be done, they say, “That
may be true, but nothing can be done. ”
The solution which they propose is idle
ness. Idleness! Look at tho whole of
God’s machinery—the earth, never a
second behindhand; the universe, every
cog in condition. Is it not a deadly in
sult to our Maker, who fashioned us in
his image, to propose idleness as the so
lution of any problem? But what is the
solution? Why, close tho breweries, tho
distilleries, the grogshops, every place j
that is a temptation to the masses of the j
people to spend their money for worse i
than useless objects. Do this and you
will as surely open the mills and shops.
If I had my way, I would write on the
sldo walls of both houses of congress
those words of Gladstone, “It is the
duty of the government to make it easy
for the peoplo to do right, and difficult
for the peoplo to do wrong, ” and those
words of Burke, ‘ ‘ What is morally wrong
can never be politically right, ” and in
front I would write Henry Clay’s words,
“I would rather be right than presi- j
dent!” and underneath that this adapta
tion of General Grant’s, saying, “We
will fight it out on this line if it takes |
a whole century!”—Colonel George W.
Bain in a Speech.
