the balance Of power. they can

Malone i, evidently for anybody

plan in Mississippi is TO mcis up the
electoral ticket of Are independents
and four Republicans. with tho M
derstanding that tho Republicans are
to vote for the Republican candidate
and the Independents for any can
didute they please except the Demo-
cratic candidate, with this proviso,
however, that they are 10 " 10 for the
Republican candidate IL their votes
are needed to beat tho Democratic

REDUCTION IN TAXES.

Gov. Lowry was recently inter-
viewed by Times Democrat repor-
ter, and on the subject OF reduction
in taxes he says "since tho Dsmo-
cratic party came into powor they
have largely reduced taxes. Our
State tax has been reducsd under
democratic rule from 9to q mills,
and county taxes greatly reduced, in
many instances more than 100 per
ceat. When the D .mocritic party
came into power In Mississippi there
was large debt that had sccumula.
ted under the r .dioal regime. This
bad been paid of, except, perhaps.
small amount not yet due. and the
reduction before stated made. Our
people appreciate ibis change, and
while they feel the government be-
longs to them they arc impressed
with the belief that it Is aGminiuter-
ed in their interest aud for their
benefit Oar condition as Q state
has greatly improved during tae past
two years. Moro lands have boon
entered and are now on the tax rolls
than have been in any 20 previous
years In number Of counties the

on WHOLE CLOTH.

The Republican of Monday last con-
tanned what it considered, in newspaper
vernacular, "a scoop" but which was in
reality the discharge from soft brain
and the ulcerou8 bump intended to de-
note truthfulness. That highly metro
poIitan sheet spread itself in tWo.columns
upon the subject of the Dynamite So
cialists" of Denver and this state. The
article contains a purported interview
with Mr.. George NJ. Sloan, of Chicago,
in which the unsophistocated George
tells all he knows abOuta 'strictly secret"
societT. The Republican certainly has
poor opinion of the intelligence OF its
readers if it thinks one Of them haSh t
brains enough to know that If Sloan W h8
in Colorado for the purposes they assert
he has sense enough to keep his mouth
shut to outsiders. He is too old to be
taken in by any of the novices of the
Republican. And the truth Of the mat
ter is. Mr.. Sloan has nothing to do with
the Irish societies of this country. Like
all honest men he sYmpathizes with the
unfortunate people Of Ireland, and has
nothing but kindness and words Of cheer
for their brothers in this country, but as
for being an organizer Of any branch Of
Irish societies he is not and never has
been. He may be a socialist, but our
brilliant friend, the Republican, must
learn that the socialists are not located
in Ireland.

WILL YOU AVERT ITt

The weeks telegraph contains more
accounts Of butchered miners from ex-
plosiOns, and yet in Colorado men are
thrown out of work and their families
left to starve because Of their honest ef-
forts to procure proper legislation for the
protection of life and limb in the mines.
To save their wives and children from
starvation men daily 60 to the verge of
the grave in the death-hoIe8 of the
mining districts, and know when they
enter there is a strong probability that
they Will be hauled out stiff and stark,
and yet the strong arm of labor is not
raised to snatch the misapplied bandage
from the eyes of Justice. When the
black rag hangs from the door Of the
Iaborer's hoVel, the surviving inmates
awake and cry out against the injustice
Of existing systems; when the wife and
little ones die of hunger then the hus.
band and father sees his crime of lass-
tude, and rushes out ballot in hand but
the polls are closed. Willyou all wait for
such direful reminders of the doom that
hangs over you, or will you arise and
build up fort of protection before your
helpless ones ere it is too late, and moth
ing be left you but the stiff and annotated
forms of those your .heedlessness has
murdered? We may be charged with
looking at the subject in strong light
but we. ask you to throw off all the false
embellishments and fimsy excuses, and
see, if in the light of past history, with
the spirits Of the millions who have been
trampIed to death under the IRON hoof OF
tyranny and oppression lowering over
you, it does not face you as the plain
and terrible truth.
Slumber on, with a crust in one hanc
and the tools of murder and suicide il
the other, and as sure as God made al
men equal you will awaken some day tc
a desolated and blood stained hearth.
