The recent decision Of the Iowa
Supreme Court on the prohibitory
law has a broader application than
has been generally understood. The
law makes saloons nuisances, ter
minable summarily by Injunction Of
equity upon complaint Of any citi-
zen, whether or not he he actually
damaged in person or property by
the ILLEGAL selling complained Of.
This cuts short the delay Of a Grand
Jury and public prosecution, and
closes the saloons by a temporary in
junction. The Court aifirms that
such form Of proceeding is permls
sible.

a Prohibitlonist.

A Natchez correspondent Of the
Vlcksburg Post says
Judge j. S. Morris, formerly of
Vicksburg ), is a declared and pro-
nounced Prohibitionist. lie told me
so out of his own lips, and l saw
him last night with up lifted chair
seeking a near seat at the lecture o:
the gifted Miss Willard.
A great many very hard things
have been said about the Judge, but
no one ever yet accused him of being
a fool or a fanatic. ....

"Kin Them"

In committing upon tho suggcs-
lions of one OF its colo-ed CORES
Ionlrnts iuvoring more friendly and
confidential relations between the
whites and blacks Of this State in
fuIurG the Nirkshurr Commercial
Herald concludes as follows
The letter of "ObScrvcr" indicates
that there is better feeling among
and blacks. aud il should hr cncour-
aged. 1t goes to show also, that the
whites should chiefly direct their at
lacks on the white bosses, and Kill
them when it becomes necessary To
protect society. and spare the nc
groeS.
So far as our Judgment goes the
negroes will be treated with the ut
most fairness and libcrality, hut
this will be a bad year for white
bosses.
The time is rast in Mississippi
for such incondiary teaching as this.
1t is simply Infamous, and should
he rrpudlated and spewcd ont by
every law abiding citizen Of the com
monwealth, white or black, Demo
crat, Independent or Republican.
There are regular and lawful
methods for depriving men Of life in
this State, when they are adjudged
worthy of death, and all good citi-
zens will be content to abide there
By until it is otherwise. The idea
of deriving any permanent benefit
to society by q resort to political
murder and assassination, is q
proposition only worthy the cranky
Herald. That the reverse is sure
to follow, has been ahundantly am
plifed by the recent experience of
an adjoining county.
Speaking Of "white hosses'-thr
editor of the Commercial Herald
might do well to remember the fate
of certain white boss" named
Hannah who once upon a time grew
exceeding wroth and advised
and made elaborate Preparations
for the hanging of Mordecai be-
cause the latter possessed too
manly spirit TO bow to his
insolent d,cttm. A hanging follow
ed, it is true, but Hannah, and not
Mordecai, was the man who dangled
at the ropes end.
Let us have peace and harmony
and good feeling between the races
in Mississippi, AS far as such a
thing be possible, but let us have no
more political murders and assassi-
nations on any account.
