mm WARRANTS.
Our Mutr Offlr»n to W Arrr»le*l t'.v Hip
(IcTpnimpRt.
The special warrants authorized by
the last Legislature to be issued by the
Auditor of public accounts have been
declared by the Washington authori
ties to l*e illegal, and orders have been
issued l>y the attorneys of the Railroad
corporation and the Whisky Trust, now
acting as members of Mr. Cleveland s
cabinet, to prosecute our State oitlcers
and the bank note companies for a vi
olation of the Federal statute.
The following is the dispatch from
Washington:
“Acorst 27. The attorney general
has sustained Chief Hazen, of the se
cret service, on every point in his po
sition against the issue by the State of
Mississippi of special warrants in tlie
similitude of the United States notes.
“Upon the showing made by Chief
Hazen aud upon the recommendation
of Secretary Carlisle, Attorney-Gener
al Olney has instructed the United
States attorneys at St. Louis, Chicago
and Jackson. Miss., to begin proceed
ings under section 5410 of the revised
statutes, against the St. Louis Bank
Note Company, the Western Bank Note
Company of Chicago and the persons
in the State of Mississippi who were
responsible for the issue of the war
rants. and all parties who have passed
them as United States money.
“Section 54.‘E' makes it a felony to
print anything in the likeness of obli
gations of the United States, and fixes
the punishment at a fine of not more
than $5,000 and imprisonment at hard
labor not more than fifteen years.
“It is assumed, under tlie instruc
tions of the attorney-general, that ac
tions will be begun at once against
Gov. Stone, the auditor of the State
and other State olficers.”
This is another scheme of the bank
ers to prevent an increase of tlie cir
culating medium. They want bonds
as an investment for their surplus
cash and they don't intend tho gener
al government, or a State shall use its
own credit to meet an emergency if
they can prevent it.
“Banks of issue,” said Thos. Jeffer
son, "are more dangerous to the liber
ties of the people than standing arm
ies. '
The same eminent authority declar
ed when t lie government needed funds,
treasury note; “bottomed on taxes"
should be issued to meet the emergen
cy.
Calhoun and Benton advocated this
policy and Polk practiced it. but our
latter day financiers can't do anything
without tiie advice of England and
the consent of the money changers of
Wall street.
Down with the shylock hankers and
let us return to the good old days when
the rights of the States to regulate
their own internal affairs was recog
nized and when no dirty spies like Ha
zen and his bureau of pampered sneaks
were allowed to dictate what a State
should or should not do.
So far, we are told the Governor and
State officers are pursuing the even
tenor of their way and are paying no I
I attention to the presumptuous mod-1
dliug of the Washington tools of the j
money power, and The Messenger1
hopes they will continue to the end.
It lias been intimated that Gov. Stone
will call the Legislature in extra ses
sion on account of the action taken by
the Federal authorities, but we cannot
believe our Chief Executive is so weak,
as such action would indicate. Let
Carlisle, Gluey, Ifa/.en A Co., pop their
whips, there is no danger of any con
viction in this latitude. I'eople'x Me:s
aenyer.
State Officers Arrcstcil.
Last week W. J. Burns, U. S. Secret
Service Agent, made a formal do
mand ou the Governor and the Audi
tor for the surrender of the plates from
which the St. Louis Bank Note Com
pany printed the special warrant s for
the State of Mississippi, but lie was in
formed they were the property of the
State, and that he could not get them
that they, as agents of the State de
clined to surrender the said plates on
a simple verbal demand.
On yesterday afternoon Inspector
Burns, acting under advice from the
Department of Justice, swore out a
warrant for the arrest of Auditor Stone,
which was served by Deputy Marshal
J. K. McNeely. lie was afterward re
leased on a 81.000 bond. Gov. Stone
will bo arrested in like manner today,
and Treasurer Evans as soon as lie
returns from a trip outside the State.
It is understood this action is taken
by the direct instigation of Secretory
Carlisle, who receives his inspiration
from the New York National bankers
whose willing servant he has more
than once proved himself to be.

We want every reader of Tiie Leader
to carefully read the article on the
first page of today’s paper headed,
“Facts and Figures,” and then ask
himself if the destruction of the liquor
traffic is “secondary” in importance to
the questions of finance, land and
transportation, as the Populists hold,
or to the tariff, as Democrats and Re
publicans would have you believe.
Yes, read these facts and figures, which
are all appropriately correct, and then
ask yourself, as a sensible man, which
question demands settling first.
Col. Hooker spends nearly all his
time in his speeches tolling what he
has done in Congress; but, admitting
that he has done all he claims, where
have the people been beuefitted? And
yet, it is freely granted, Col. Hooker
has accomplished as much as any of
his Democratic opponents would done
had they had his seat. What we need
is a change of parties and policies, as
well as a change of men.
The Democratic convention in the
sixth*district, which met at Pass Chris
tian Sept. 4th, nominated Hon. Walter
Denny, of Jackson county, on the 3rd
day after meeting. On the first ballot
the vote stood: Stoekdale 14, Martin
10, Denny 8, Govan G. The balloting
continued with littlQ variation up to
the 30th, when Stockdaie withdrew,
throwing nearly all his strength to
Denny, swelling his vote to 22.

When a representative of Tuf. Lead
ed called at the office of the chancery
clerk last Tuesday afternoon to ascer
tain, among other things, what had
l>een done in reference to the tiling of
new official bonds by the sheriff and
tax-collector, as ordered by the
board of supervisors at their
special mooting August 23rd, and!
the approval or non approval of said;
bonds, be was informed by the presi
dent of the board that the bonds had
been filed before 12 o'clock of tlie pre
ceding day. but that they had been pig
eon-holed by the clerk, and that up to
that hour had not been pass
ed upon or so much as opened by the |
board. The president of the board
further stated that the hoard had been
engaged all that day in considering the
applications of ex-Confederatc pen
sioners. with a large lot of these ap
plications still to be acted upon, and
that it would be late that afternoon or
next day before a consideration of the
bond matter could be reached at all.
This was a few’ minutes before 2
o'clock Tuesday afternoon. It after
ward transpired that the board liuish
ed up the big package of pension ap
plications which tlie president exhib
ited while imparting tlie above infor
mation to the repo»»»r, “examined and
approved" the “unopened'’ bonds of
the sheriff and tax-collector and ad
journed before sun down.
The names of the sureties op the
bonds as approved and the amount

Below The Leader copies from the
Annotated Code of 1892 the law ap
plicable in this and like cases:
3055. Conditions of oilichtl
bonds, etc. The bonds of all officers
required to give bond shall be condi
tioned in the following form, to-wit:
“Whereas, the above bound A B was
duly elected |or appointed! to the office
of- —, on the - day of -
for the term of — years from the
day of -.; therefore, if he
shall faithfully perform all the duties
of said office during his continuance
therein, thou the above obligation to
be void,”
But a failure to observo the form
herein prescribed shall not vitiate any
official bond; and all official bonds
shall be valid and binding in whatever
form they may be taken, except so far
as they may be conditioned for the
performance of acts in violation of the
laws or policy of the State; and wheth
er in the proper penalty or without
any penalty, or whether correct or in
correct in its recitals as io the term of
office or otherwise, or whether proper
ly payable, or w hether approved by the
proper officer or not approved by any,
or if irregular in any other respect,
such bond, if delivered as the official
bond of the officer, and serving as
such, shall bo obligatory on oyery one
who subscribed it for the purpose of
making the official bond of such officer
to the full penalty, or, if it have no
penalty, to the full penalty of the bond
which might have been required.
.*tO,AX. Him sureties shall l)e c.x
nniiitcci. Each surety on the official
bond of any county officer, or
officer for any subdivision of a
county, shall make affidavit be
fore some officer competent to
administer oaths, that he is worth u
certain sum, to be specified, in land
turned and held by him in his own
name and right, in fee-simple or for i
life, or a term of not less than twenty
I
year*, and situated in the county, over
and altove all legal exemption, atid all
his debts and liabilities, including the
amount of hi* liability on any other of
ficial bond, where the term of office for
which the same was given has not ex
pired, or, where it having expired, suit
has been instituted on such bond at
tlie time of making such affidavit; and
such affidavit shall be indorsed on or
anuexed to the bond.
I'fhSO. Tlio same: how tlie laud
valued; additional averments of
flit* affidavit. The value of the laud
shall be estimated by that at which it
stands assessed, as shown by the as
sessment-roll except where there has
been material change in the value
since the assessment: and, in that case,
the aflidavit shall specify such change,
particularly explaining wherein it con
sists, and giving the numbers or metes
and bounds or other sufficient descrip
tion of the land.
;tOO!>. Not hound to accept affi
davit ol* surety ns true. The offi
cers by whom official bonds are to be
approved shall not bo obliged to ac
cept tho affidavit of a surety of wlmt
lie is worth as conclusive or tho fact,
but shall have the right, and it shall tie
their duty, if they be not acquainted
! with the property of the surety, to iu
jterrogate him fully as to his laud and
! to require him to specify it particular
' ly, and to inquire into the matter
j through other sources of information,
I aud to exercise a sound discretion in
| approving bonds.
New bond required in
; certain cases. In case the sureties,
' or any of them, of any State or county
| officer shall permanently remove out
i of the State or become insolvent, or if,
| from any cause, an official bond shall
, bo found insufficient, the governor in
1 tho case of a State officer, and board
| of supervisors in the case of a county
' officer, shall notify such officer to aj>
j pear, at a day aud place to be named
within ten days thereafter, to give a
new bond with other sufficient sure
ties, in a penalty equal to that of tho
former bond and with the like condi
tion. or show cause why the same should
not lie required; and if such officer fail
or neglect so to do, within a time to bo
designated, his office shall thereby be
come vacant, and lie shall cease to dis
[ charge any of the duties thereof; and.
if a State officer, the governor shall
'cause the vacancy to be filled asiuoth
er cases; and, if a goqnty officer, the
vacancy shall be tilled as in other oases
of vacancy in county offices. From
proceedings under this section there
shall be no appeal; and if tho oflleer to
bo notitjed be vyithout the State or ab
scond, lie may be uotilletl by public;;
cion, us defendants in chancery are so
notified.
■ U><■*:}. How sureties may be rc
lieved.—In case a surety of any coun
ty or county district officer shall con
ceive himself in danger of suffering by
being such surety, he may petition the
hoard of supervisors for relief in the
premises; and on live days’ notice to
the officer, the board shall hoar the i
petition, and may order that the offi
cer give a new bond, - with sufficient
sureties, within such reasonable time
as the board may direct, in a penalty
not less than the first bond, and con
ditioned according to law, from which
there shall be no appeal; and, on the
giving of such bond, and the approval
thereof by the board, the petitioner
shall be discharged from further lia
bility on the bon 1. as to tint perfor-1
mauce of all official duties after the
giving of such new bond; and if such
officer shall fail or refuse to comply
with the order to give a now bond, his
office shall thereby become vacant,
and the vacancy shall be filled us in
other cases of vacancies in county of
fices.
I-.'H. Approving; worthless of
ficial bond. If any officer shall ap
prove any official bond, knowing or
having good reason to believe t he sure
ties to lie insufficient, he shall, upon
conviction, be furnished by fine or im
prisonment, or both, the fine not to ex
ceed five hundred dollars, and the im
prisonment not to exceed six moths in
the county jail.
Several important, considerations
will occur to even the casual reader of
the above sections of the law. Among
other things standing out boldly and
and unmistakably, is the provi
sion that a surety ou au official bond
must own in his own right and title
real estate, over and above all legal ex
emption and all debts and liabilities,
equal to the amount assumed on the
bond, and must make oath to that ef
fect before a proper officer. It goes
without the saying that within the
limited timo devoted by the board to
the examination and consideration of
these bonds that they could not have
| ascertained the facts about the sol
vency or insolvency of such a large
J number of persons resident in five dif
ferent counties.
Indeed, it is not pretended or cluim
| ed that tho board made any thorough
• investigation into the assessment roll
■ o'r mortgage records of this county,
i whero most of the sureties reside, to
j be assured of their solvency. This is
S not all. There were a considerable
i number on both bonds, as a careful
examination of tho papers on lilo
! proves, that had not even quaiilied by
| allldavit that they were worth the sum
| allixed opposite their names. As is
seen, the law not only requires that
tho surety shall certify under oath to
boiug worth what is assumed on a boud,
| but it is so careful to guard the peo
ple’s interests that it goes further and
specially provides that the board of
supervisors shall uot be bound to ac
i cept such oaths as true aud conclusive
1 of tho facts sworn to; but behold ! here
' we have the board of supervisors of
Lincoln county, with a fqil knowledge
of the past official delinquencies of tho
sheriff before them, uot only wilfully
; neglecting to verify the solvency of
: his sworn sureties, but uot even re
! quiriug the affidavit of a part that they
| are worth what is claimed.
! As a matter of fact a large percent
! age of these bondsmen are not good
for tho amounts for which they wore
accepted, as the board could have eas
ily ascertained, aud Tiie Leader chal
! louges a successful contradiction of
this statement by tho real estate and
mortgage records of the county.
Another point which will strike the
reader of the above sections of the law
is, that every signer on a bond, in caso
of forfeiture, not only becomes liable
for the amount subscribed, but for tho
whole amount of tho bond, if he has
property out of which it can be real
ized. It is freely granted that there
are enough solvent persons on the
bonds to indemnify the county aud
make tip for the Insolvent ones, In case
of any mishap, but this provision of
the law, manifestly provided to pro
tect the people where those charged
with approving bonds fnil to perform
their duty faithfully, seems to us about
the only defense our board of supervi
sors can plead.
The Leader has no word of censure
for Sheriff McNair in this connection.
“A drowning man will catch at a straw,’
but it is submitted thnt in the light of
nil of Lincoln county's past experi
ence with her sheriffs, t lie people had
a rigid to expect a more faithful per
formance of duty from their board of
supervisors than can be pretended iu
this instance.
It may be that the next grand jury
will decide that the last section above
quoted has an important bearing on
the action of the board in this case,
if not, the great body of the people,
before whom wo have endeavored
to fairly lay the law and the facts,
should aud doubtless will see to it
that public servants are elected here
after who will treat public otllco as a
public trust.
There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years, was supposed to be incura
ble. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, aud by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney A Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the on
ly constitutional cure on the market.
If is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

The law of IS*.sQ relating to trustees
for county schools, not under separate
school districts, contains some inter
esting features. First, as to choice of
trustees, patrons of such schools are
required to meet at the school houses
on the first Saturday of September,
1894, to elect 3 trustees. The word
patrol is includes women, thus giving
the mothers of school children a vote
as well as the fathers. Again, as to the
qualifications for trustees, it is said,
they shall l>e of good moral character,
able to read and write, and two of the
three must be patrons of the school.
Here again, no distinction of sex is
ma le and women are eligible for the
oiiii'i-. Thus Mississippi may claim,
though in a very restricted sense to
have joined the ranks of progress in
giving of school suffrage to women.

PROHIBITIONISTS NOMINATED
CaiHliriate* Named In all l»ut flic Fourth
and Fifth DlfttrlcU.
The State Executive Committee of
the Prohibition party met in the State
Library in Jackson on Thursday, 6th
inst., pursuant to call of the chairman,
with a quorum present.
After discussing the situation fully
from the Prohibition standpoint, an<l
hearing read letters from absent mem
bers of the committee and from Messrs.
N. A. Hathorn and A. M. Newman, nom
inees of the People's party in the 6th
and 7th districts respectively, it was
unanimously decided to endorse Dr.
John A. Brown, of Columbus, the Peo
ple's party nominee, iu the first dis
trict, and to nominate straight-out
Prohibition men in the 2d, 3d, 6th and
7th districts. Nominations iu these
districts were accordingly made as fol
lows:
Second District—Dr. N. W. Bouton.
Ashland, Benton county.
Third District Thos. Mount, Green
ville, Washington county.
Sixth District—George Hartfleld,
Hattiesburg, Perry county.
Seventh District Thos. P. Barr,
Jackson, Hinds county.
A sub-Committee of 5 was appointed
to meet in Jackson Sept. 18th and fur
ther consider nomiuations'iu the 4th
and 5th districts, aud to fill vacancies
in case any of the nominees decline to
accept. Messrs. Barr and Mount
promptly notified the committee of
their acceptance, and it is anticipated
the other nominees will do likewise.
Iu future issues The Leader expects
to give short biographical sketches of
all of our candidates. Meanwhile, let
all loyal Prohibitionists begin to bestir
themselves, orgauize aud prepare to
give them an active and cordial sup
port.
Strike at the ballot-box.
Ratliff was nominated by the Popu
lists of the 5th district.
A “Democratic Prohibitionist" is a
good deal like a Catholic Methodist.
Gov. Waite, of Colorado, has been
renominated by the Populists of Colo
rado.
The nominee of the Prohibition par
ty in this district is not a saloon bar by
a large majority.
Hon J. \V. Hailey, of Texas, has been
renominated by the Democrats of bis
district, without opposition.
No reform parly deserves the name
or is worthy of the people's confidence
which ignores the liquor traffic.
Stockdale’s defeat means his politi
cal death. Hotter have stuck to your
new party doctrine, Colonel.
Williamson carried Hinds over Hook
er in last Saturday’s Democratic pri
maries. A light voto was polled.
The Prohibition party nominee in
this district is a fine man with whom
to Harr out the other congressional
candidates.
If you are a Prohibitionist, what are 1
you doing to circulate The Leader, the
ouly straight-out Prohibition paper in
Mississippi?
The Democrats carried Arkansas by 1
about 30,000 majority. There was a |
lighter voto polled than two years ago.
A majority of the counties voted
against the licensing the liquor traffic.
A sensation has been created in po
litical circles by the announcement
that Senator John P. Jones, of Nevada,
who has represented his State in the
United States Sanate for over twenty
one years, has formally renounced his
allegiance to the Republican party,
aud cast his lot with the Populists.
Of the new tariff bill. Senator MilLs
said: "The bill was dictated by live or
six or seven men on this floor. My
friend from Missouri (Vest), is right in
saying there is no Democratic majori
ty on this floor for tariff reform. There
are four parties on this floor, Republi
cans, Populists, Democrats and Con- i
aervative parties. The Conservatives
held the balunce of power. The Con
servative balance of power made the
bill. We voted for it. We passed it
and it is about to come a law. We were
between the devil and the deep sea, and
rather than see the country go to the :
devil we went into the deep sea." j
