Mississippi Mutterings.

The Clay County (Miss.) Leader
gives warning to the Democratic
party concerning the liquor que5-
ton as follows:
"There is one thing as sure as
that the sun is the source Of light
and heat: if the leaders Of the Dem
ocratic party endeavor to shoulder
the liquor-ring, the Democratic
party will become a thing of the
past. If you wish to prove the
truth of this assertion, just feel of
the public pulse, not around the
towns and villages controlled by
the whisky -rings, but the yeoman-
ry, the bone and sinew of the coun-
try, and you will find that the great
mass of them favors the prohibit
ton of the liquor traffic. The fact
that the ring opposes the question
going directly to the people is proof
that they are aware of their weak
ness"
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1885-09-02
Still They Speak.

Mr.. W. H. Ramsey, living near
Central Station, is d full grown
Prohibitionist. Having the cour-
age of his conviction, he voted for
St. John, and may be counted on
the Prohibition side when the hot.
test of the fight is upon US. He
says he wants Prohibition and is
ready to take the nearest road lead
ing to that end.
Mr., Daniel Weekly, one of the
old citizens of Tyler county, is
heart and soul with the Third Par.
ty movement. His old party, he
says, by It's wishy-washy course on
the Temperance question, has left
him hen ce, there Is nothing for
him to do but to go to the party that
represents his principles as Tenn
,perance man.
Rev. Dr. Webb, Of Weston, when
asked for his opinion upon the issut
of the day, said: 81 am in for Pro
hi5ition, but opposed to Third
Party, because | am a Democrat
and as we have just come into
power | do not want to give it ur
so soon. | think Prohibition can
be obtained through the Democrat.
ic party, but the indications are
that the Prohibition party will ul-
timately triumph"
Noble confession. If "the Pro
hibitiou party will ultimately tri-
umph," then let the good Doctor
vote with Us, and thus hasten the
dav of final victory.
Mr. Charley Smith, of Buckhan,
non, says he believes the bottom
rail-" (Prohibition). will eventual.
ly come on top This is just the
way others of Us see it, and if the
prediction does not come true, we
are wholly mistaken in the signs
of the times. W.

ELECTROMAGNETIC
The Grafton Convention.
1t Did the Right Thing.

Mr.. EDITOR: Will you permit
me to say that | believe that the
Grafton Convention did just the
right thing IN declaring in favor of
independent party action.
Even if we admit that the great.
er part of the Temperance and Pro-
hibition yet obtained ha9 been pro
cured by non-partisan effort, does
this prove that different methods
of work might not have produced
more satisfactory results? Is 1t
not equally true that there was a
time when all of the travel and
commerce of the world had been
effected independent of the pro-
pulsive power of steam? Yet, in
the light of experience, who will
say that the discovery and applica-
ton of steam power was not long
stride in the direction of progress :?
Is it not true, too, that many true
friends of Prohibition who do not
favor the "New Departure" are
overlooking the ominous fact that
there never was time in the his
tory OF the world, when political
parties were SO thoroughly DONNA
ted by the saloon as now, state OF
things which makes bipartisan
work great deal more difficult,
and, at the same time, less produc-
tive of results.
I want to say, however, that if
the Con vention had declared itself
opposed to the organization of a
separate party, l would have heart
lily concurred in its decision. In
appearance, this may be the Ian
guage of blind partisan; but in
fact,it is the language of FAITH. I
am fully persuaded that God is in
this fight of the Home against the
Saloon,and ! do not think he could
afford to allow the Home Guard"
to make a mistake that would be
so detrimental to the interests of
Prohibition as the organization of
a separate party would be, if it be
a mistake. And especially does
my "Faith" wax strong when re-
fleet that there were no doubt hun,
dreds of earnest, faithful, trusting
prayers offered up in behalf of the
Convention, pleading that its de-
alterations might be presided over
and controlled by Divine wisdom
and influence. And hence, l had
concluded (even before the Conven-
ton metz, that | would adopt the
Latin phrase, "vo1 populi, vo1 Den"
and accept the action of the Con
vention as an expression of the
Divine will. l may be a crank. II
| am, | hope that | am the kind
that the Lord can use in turning
the Saloon upside down.

CURE For PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or neighboring organs.
At times SYMPTOMS of indigestion are pre-
sent, fatulency, uneasiness of the stomach,
etc. A moisture like perspiration, pro-
ducing a very disagreeable itching after
getting warm is a common attendant.
Blind, bleeding and itching piles yield at
once to the application of Dir. Bosanko's
Pile Remedy, which acts directly on the
parts affected, absorbing the tumors'
allaying intense itching, and effecting a
permanent cure. Price 80 cents. Address,

A RUNAWAY.
A HACK OVERTURNED AND THEN
DASHED TO PIECES.

On Sunday morning about 10 o'clock,
spirited team attached to hack made
bad break on West Pecan street. In the
hack were Mr.. Wainock, who was driving;
Mr.. and Mrs. Knox, Mr.. Macarthur and
two children, who were on their way to
Bee Springs. Just as they were crossing
Guadalupe street the horses became
frightened and dashed off at the top of
their speed. 1t was impossible for M
Wainock to control them, and they pass d
rapidly down Pecan to Nueces sire 1T,
down which they turned and soon after
the hack was overturned ard the occu-
pants thrown violently to the ground
Mrs. Knox received some very painful in
juries; John Macarthur had his arm badly
cut, while Mr.. Knox, Mr.. Wainock and the
two children escaped with only few
scratches.
The hack was total wreck.

Mr.. D. Il. Barnaby, of Oswego, N. Y,
says that his daughter was taken with
violent cold which terminated with Pneu-
monia, and all the best physicians gave
the case up and said she could live but
few hours at most. She was in this con-
dition when friend recommended DIR.
VIM. HALLS BALSAM FOR THE

accepted it as a last resort, and was sur
prised to find that it produced marked
change for the better, and by persevering
in its use cure was effected.

A RoUs1NG EXPLOITATION.

By special request of the committee
Rev. DIR. McFerrin addressed the confer
ence in behalf of the Pain institute.
He delivered regular old-fashioned,
rousing exhortation, appealing to his
audience to come up nobly to the relief of
the colored people. Said he: Il love the
Chinese mission; [ love the Mexican mis-
sion; love the Indian mission, and all
that, but if we owe a debt of gratitude to
any people on earth, we owe it to the col
ored people,; they, who in the time of
THE LATE TERRIBLE WAR
did so much for those in the south who
were at home while our boys were in the
army fighting the battles. Yes, brethren,
1 love the people who BACKED my boots,
cooked my dinner, nursed my babies, and
sang hallelujahs when I was at camp
meeting. Let us help them; let US help
them now. How much will you give?
DR.. Goodwyn-,'I think, with proper eff
fort, the $3.50 asked of this conference
can be raised right here in this room, and
right now"
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1885-12-10

Advocates of prohibition need have no
fear of ''PRIcKLY ASH BITTERs," as it is
medicine, and by reason of its cathartic
properties cannot beused as a beverage.
It is manufactured from the purest ma
terials and acts directly on the liver, kid
neys, stomach and bowels. AS a blood
purifier it has no equal. 1t is pleasant to
the taste, and effective in action.
