MeadvIlIe Notes.
MEANWHILE, Oct. 1, 1883.

MEANWHILE, Oct. 1, 1883.
To the Editor Of THE LEADER
Circuit Court convened here on Monday
last, the Hon. J. Il. Cbrisnan presiding
and Hon. II. Cassidy District-AttOrney.
There was % large attendance upon Court
several lawyers from adjoining counties.
Hon. +. 4. McLain aud Hon. J. II. Deason,
candidates for District-Attorney, were
both in attendance, doing the agreeable,
and each proving by unanswerable argu-
ments that he had the best right to the
support of the people. A. T.. McNair was
also here and seemed to be getting a fair
share of the business before the court.
There was "A large amount of business APP
pearing upon the docket, but few cases
ho%eveT of very grave Importance, being
mostly appeals from the magistrates courts.
There were two indictments against Mon
roe Lee, one for larceny of "a mule, and
one for attempt to C 'mmit burglary. He
plead guilty to both charges and was SCH
fenced to one year in the peDitentiary in
each case. John Baldwin had two ill.,
dictments against him, one for larceny of
hog, and one for altering the mark of
hog. (John is bad on hOgs.) lie was ac-
quilted of the first charge, and miss-trial
i'll the second. There was one other case
of felony tried and the party found guilty
vi w OI-
fence and new trial granted. Many cases
of mistlemeanors were disposed of.
This is the last court in this county that
our worthy, District-Attorney, Hon. II.
Cassidy, will ofliciate in that capacity,
his term of office expiring before our next
court. This is regretted by the the most
of our people. Mr.. III. Cassidy il a native
of this county, and the ability with which
he has discharged the duties of the Office
and his vigilance in trying to suppress
crime i'll this county has endeared him to
the law-abidng people as no other Dis
trict-AttOrney ever did. All looked
upon him as being terror to evil-duers
and felt in some sort protected by his
ability and vigilance, and the older cti-
zens pointed to him with pride rs a
worthy son of IA noble sire. May happi-
ness and prosperity attend him in what
ever field his labors may be directed.
Court adjourned late on Saturday even
ing, too late for the news to::spread through
out the county, and many of the jurors for
the second week put in their appearance
this morning. Dor.

Gratifying News.
70 the Editor of the Btoekhaven Leader:

To the Editor of the Efoekhaven Leader:
l have noticed through several COM
municatiOns i'll your paper within the last
few weeks that other sections of the cOun-
ty than our own are becoming thoroughly
aroused upon the Importance of banishing
whisky from our bounds. We feel very
much gratified at Caseyvile to know
that others have moral courage to condemn
that matchless evil that has caused our
people to suffer so much financially, mcnt-
ally and spiritually. Ihave taken spec ial
interest in inquirinS into and seeking in
formation from all parts of Lincoln county,
and am satisfied that by an effort on the part
of those who desire to have more peace
and prosperity and less crime and poverty,
they can prohibit the distribution of this
matchless evil known as King Alcohol in
this county that is being sold that few
NAV prosper, while hundreds of poor men
and women and helpless children may
suffer untold misery from the effects. |
have seen so many good women and chill
drens lives made miserable by drunken
husbands, fathers and brothers, 1t
arouses my sympathies and encourages me
to use what little influence and money l
have to put it beyond the reach of tcmpta-
ton.
Mr.. Editor, pardon me for asking so much
space, but this is very essential subject.
l wish to suggest to every mother, espec-
tally, to do all you can by your influence
to prohibit the sale of Spirituous liquors,
for every mother has an influence OH her
son, every daughter an influence on her
father, every sister an influence on her
brother. "Last but not least" can it be
possible that every wife has not an infiu-
ence Oh her husbandl the man who prOmi-
SEES before Almighty God that he will for
sake all others for her sake and refuses to
allow her to influence him for his good.
"Oh shame Where is thy blash~ / have
seen some drunkards that would turn
deaf ear to the FATTHLEss cries of their
heart broken wives. OBSERVER.

The Tariff Breakers Ahead.
New York Times


Both parties are drifting. The
main difference is that the democrats
already descry the rocks on which
they are in danger of splitting, VIII lie
the republicans are padding com
fortably along. unconscious of any
peril except the casual wave of local
disagreement. The breakers in their
path are out of sight,. 1t is
hardly to be believed that we can get
through another presidential canvass
without division of the political
forces on the issue of a commercial
policy for the nation. 1t is ques-
ton on which the sentiment of the
people is divided, but the lines of
cleavage runs athwart the party
lines. There will be efforts to pre-
vent the split from coming, but the
people cannot remain divided into
two political parties which do not
correspond with the division OF senti-
ment that exists among them ON the
chief political issue of the time. The
position is strained one which can
hardly be held through another presi-
Dental struggle.
