Democratic Tricks With Saloon Keepers!
The manufacture and sale of liquors
is quite large interest in Cincinnati,
and those interested have long been
organized into Protective Associations.
Last Fall the Democratic campaign
managers gave to these Associations
solemn promise that the Democratic
party would, if placed in power in the
State. repeal the Scott Law. We all
know how the party, while it was pos
sibly willing to carry out its contract,
was too cowardly, and the law was not
repealed.
In deciding points raised under the
Law, Judge W. W. johnson held that
the Law was Constitutional. This
caused an i'll feeling on the part Of the
Saloon-Keepers' Association, toward
johnson, and as there were in this, as
we'll as the Brewers Association, men
of both POLITICAL parties, an agreement
was entered into between them to
unite in opposing Judge Johnson's
reelection. A circular was drawn up
to be sent to the thousands Of men,
bers of the Saloon-Keepers' Associa-
ton throughout the State, urging
them to vote against Johnson, with
out regard to party.
But no sooner is this under way
than the Democratic managers, pre-
suming their ownership Of the Associ-
iation, proposed voting them for New
man for Secretary Of State, as well as
for Martin for Supreme Judge. The
Republicans in the Association
kicked on this, and had their circulars
against Johnson only-all ready to
mail, when the Democratic managers,
some Of them members of the Com
mittee that got up the circular, sent
constable, with writ of Replevin and
seized the whole batch, thereby obtain
ing the addresses Of the Sazoon-Keep-
ers throughout the State!
The Democratic managers, while
affecting great friendship for the
Liquor interest, only seek to capture
the votes Of the Saloon Keepers, in
body, and drive such voters into the
Democratic Party. But they will
signally fail in the undertaking.

Davis Mackley:
DEAR SIR-Do you think it jour
nalistic to answer a truthful state
ment. as far as | am concerned, of the
condition Of things as found them
in the Monroe Furnace regions, when
I gave the names of parties inter
viewed? Would it not be much more
courteous, fair and honorable for you
to see the parties whose names | gave.
and see if misrepresented facts, be-
fore applying the offensive epithets to
the author? lie you know any "unct
mournful tales about me, will they
be an answer to the publication of le-
gitimate intervies with men, with
whom you are better acquainted than
myself, to condemn me if [ misrepre-
sented them? Is it satisfactory re-
ioinder Ito your conscience) to de-
nounce. as false, what you have not
taken pains to investigate? If yom
conception of me is that | seek to
learn money" by inventing false
hoods, your opinion has certainly not
been formed by personal acquaint
ance with me, nor from any source OF
credibility. Certainly there should bt
bounds to even partisan hostility, and
wide apart as we may be politically,
there should at least be some flowers
of courtesy, and fair demeanor over
hanging the garden wall of politics to
overshadow the bitter, and at least
shield men Of diverging politics from
the edium Of uncharitable and unsup-
ported charges of open falsehood and
mercenary motives to inspire false
hood.
In my connection with journalism,
have sought to refrain, as far as possi-
BILE, from being the author of false
hood against others. [ do not hold
that my party demands, and were it to
demand, would refuse, that should
be an Ananias to help it out of the
Slough of Despond. In my visit to
the furnace grounds I rather fell
short Of giving the darker features !
saw of struggling people; and | ask
you to go and see what l saw, hear
I heard from the mouths of those
whom I believe spoke truthfully, and
then I welcome all you may say in
harshness of me if [ wrote falsely.
Nor my dear sir will it matter with
these people of great penury, what
party shall succeed this fall, many OF
them, during the rigors of winter,
must become township charges.
And as I do not believe my party
has any right to expect-me to write
falsely to deceive young or old 'vo-
ters," neither do I conceive that your
party has any right to expect that you
shall condemn me, and brand me with
unblushing falsehood, for what L may
write, that may be, to your mind, pre-
judicial to your party's success, until
you have taken a reasonable degree OF
pains to learn whether have written
falsely or not.
I have written you frankly. not in
angry spirit, but as l would like any
one to address me who conceived L
had misiudged him, and [ can assure
you, that | am not such moral cow
ard as to refuse to do simple act OF
Justice, if I found | had wronged that
person. Can you refuse to do less,
and deserve your o,0n self respect?
Very Fraternally Yours,

Removal or No Removali

EDIroRs CLARION: The suggestion and
invitation made a few weeks since by the
citizens of Meridian, and regarded at first
as piece Of pleasantly, has grown to some
what serious proportions. Certain enterpris-
ing men OF our Eastern Metropolis have
aroused the public spirit of the business
men, who few days since assembled and
appointed committee to come over and
present proposition to the Legislature
A bill had already been introduced in the
House by DIR. Montgomery, of Oktibbeha,
looking to tho contamination of the desir-
ed end, namely, the removal OF the Capital
from Jackson TO Meridian.
We arc not surprised that our Eastern
friends desire such change, and, indeed,
feel constrained to applaud their public
spirit. Meridian is, undoubtedly, a vide.
awake and growing place, and her citizens
stand the peers Of any in the State in their
several spheres.
As citizens of jackson, il is but natural
that we should look with little appreciation
upon any proposition that looks to
taking away from us so import.

to say nothing of the associations that clus.

successive Legislatures have met, so many
stormy and exciting conventions have been
held,the old structure that is linked with, and

the war, during the four years struggle for
separate and perfect State and personal
liberty; since the war through the dark
period of reconstruction and political revo-

period of good government and prosperi'
ty which we hope will continue under the

Pearl River.
In discussing the question, however, we
shall endeavor 10 lay aside our predilic-
tons and treat it from disinterestsd
standpoint.
First We believe no objections are
urged to Jackson either in itself or as
compared with Meridian. Nor do We
believe any could be pointed out that
would not lie with equal weight
against Meridian or any city of equal size
in the State. In this day of railroads the
geographical center is hardly a matter of
important consideration, but If it should
be taken, jackson has decidedly the advan-
tage over her sister city. The center of the
State is near the Alfalfa and Leake county
line, about forty or fifty miles from Jack

A State School for White Girls is
Nseded.

EDIroBs CLARION: About the year 1875 a
lady in Mississippi employed, in the ca
pacity of nurse, an orphan white girl who
came to her almost destitute. This girl
could read and was taught to write. She
possessed, for one in her circumstances, an
almost fatal inheritance-rare beauty-and
the tongue of the fatterer was soon not
wanting to make her dissatisfied with her
lot. Not wishing to cast her out upon the
world, her employer found her a place to
work, in aboutt the only opening for poor
white girls in Mississippi, the factory at
Wesson Tor Natchez). After working here
awhile, she married. Her successor, as
nurse, was young quadroon who possessed
honesty, industry, and fair intelligence.
She, too, was taught at odd times, and en-
eouraged TO save her wages to educate her
self. After two years she entered Tugaloo
University and by working some, and pay
ing sir dollars month she acquired q good
foundation for an education, and is now a
successful teacher of her race in the county
of Simpson. Another orphan white girl
was raised by gentleman of limited means,
in this State. When about grown she had
an offer Of marriage from maR who could
offer her a home. Feeling that she ought not
longer to remain harden upon her bene-
factor, who had large family of his own,
and being unable to support herself, she
accepted this offer, though in bitter tears,
she remarked to friend the night before
shs married. Il wish l we're dead. had
almost rather die than marry that man"
But she married him. Other cases, even
more touching, might be cited, but the
above serve to show, better perhaps than .
vomsn's argument, the necessity for sons

to protect men against the draft, each
member paying $25 to the fund to hire a
substitute if drafted. Mr.. Blaine on, of
that fund hired substitute named Brad.

to remain at the post in Augusta instead
of going to the front. After while he
was detected in selling for money certain
certificates, and he was kept in Jail until
the close of the war. That constituted
Mr.. Blaine's service in the field. Loud
laughter. After the war closed, the
men who had been drawn claimed that
the towns aud cities should pay the ex.
penses they had been put to, and Angus.

money they had paid for substitutes, and
