Charles A. Dana, editor of the
New York Sun was a witness in the
telephone suits now going on in
Washington. In his testimony
Dana said: "the Democratic party
would be a great deal better off to
day, in my Judgment, if Cleveland
had been defeated.n
Dana can cell the truth occasion
ally, aud he did it then.
There is no earthly doubt, but
that always was and always is his
opinion. He thinks, to defeat the
Democratic party there is no treach
cry SO base, no hypocrisy so low, as
to be unjustifiable in order to accom-
plish the defeat of that party, and
proves his belief Dy his actions.

THE HONORED DEAD.

Mark F. Bigney, one of the ablest
writer's and grandest poets of Lou
~isiana, died a few days ago, III New
Orleans, aged 81 years.
He has been connected with the
Press of Louisiana for nrarly 10
year, aud during ali that period
has had 10 superiorS in the force
and strength that characterized
his Writings, which were upon all
subjects, political, literary or other
wise.
He was employed Oh the staff, of
the Delta The True Delta, the MIR
ror, The Times, the Picaynne, Wa
one of the prime movers IN organ
izlng the co operative association
that brought out tn" City Item, and
Was its editor and manager from
its birth to his lainented death.
The Item has ever been noted for
its boIdness in ~denouncing crime.
! aud fearlessneSs in dtnunciaiion Of
any political or other chicanery, by
which the interests of the pubic
were made 10 suffer.
The acquaintance Of the writ ter
with the deceased, was formed some
16 or 20 Yeas ago, when probably
the first press association, Or rather
organization, "a made in LOuisi
ana.
There were but few ofns. Among
the number were the lamentpd Han
ry Hyams of the Sugar Planter,
Daniel bennett of the Planters Ban
mer, Judge Burwell of the Re
publican, Page 3 ,ker of the Plea
yune, and Two or three others. 1t
was then and there that Il plan was
matured to lnaugurate a system Of
primary elections for the nomina
ton OF political candidates for office.
Although the plan did not ap
pear at that time to take much hold
OIL public opinion. it has ben pref
ty generally adopted and used, for
several years.
Mr.. Blgney was M OF the lead
lug spirits III thar convention, as
he has ever been in press conven
tions since.
His greatest ambition Sc med to
tie to elevate the editorial fra:erni
ty to d higher plane of thoughts,
and to raise it above that on which.
abuse, venom, spite, and jealousy
found congenial homes.
He has passed away full ofiyears
and honors.

prohibition in our town, we unhesita-
tingly state that it has proven highly
beneficial to all classes of our people, both
white and colored. No matter from
what point Of view considered, pecuniar-
ily, mentally, morally and physically.
The general business of the town has
not suffered, in fact we think we can
safely say has increased An increase in
our population by incomers from the
county and other places has occurred to
such an extent, that there is not we be-
lieve vacant dwelling house in the
place, and desire from many others
to come has been expressed. There have
been fewer disturbances Of the peace, a
better feeling among all of our people
seems to prevail, and the moral relig-
ious growth of the town is,we think most
astonishing. All Of this besides many
other advantages that we cannot for want
space, enumerate, are in our own Opin-
ion directly traceable to prohibition in
our town and county in support of which
we respectfully refer you to the Hon. A..
7. Roane our Circuit Judge, Hon. Ira D..
Oglesby our Dist. Atty, and to the en-
closed documents from our sheriff and

mend prohibition to our sister town OF

and of inestmable value when obtained,

b. SENAToBIA, Miss, May 31st 1886.
1t is with pride and pleasure l state
that we areno longer under the contro
of saloon keepers in our little town. The
time has been that we numbered sever
oars having a population of 800 human
beings in our corporation. The time has
,een when our marshal carried by his
,ide his bludgeon, and III his pocket, his
pistol or dirk. The time has been when
i seemed that we would be under the
n cessity of doubling the size of our cal
aboose. The tims has been when many
civil men considered it unsafe to be ou,
at night. The time has come when we
have no place for the sale of whisky, and
yet our population numbers between
1000 and 1900 beings. The time has come
when our marshal has no use for his
bludgeon, dirk or pistol. The time has
come when do not recollect how long
it has been since the callaboose claimed
an inmate. The time has come when no
timid or civil man considers his person
in danger night or day.
I can safely say, without fear of contra
diction, that have never known such a
moral revolution in any community since
the death of saloons; churches, Sunday
schools. literary and scientific schools
all seem to have been revived. Our CO.,
ored population has not been thinned out

THE COUNTY TICKETS.

Before an election politics are in
order, The principles and policy of the
standard bearers in the territorial con.
test should be considered, and may
justly be regarded as excuse for a
partisan vote. But in county politics
partisanship should not, need not. and
in Idaho county, rarely does enter.
The fitness of the candidate for the
Office sought is to be considered. Per
sonal likings, or dislikings, and local
and precinct pride are great factors in
overcoming party politics III county
elections. The FREE Press deprecates
all sectional and personal prejudices.
1t is not necessary inference that a
candidate from a strong voting precinct
would make a better official than his
competitor hailing from a precinct
which polls fewer votes. The PRESS
contends that every vote cast in this
sectional spirit is an injury to the com
mnnity at large. Vote for the men
whom you can trust to administer the
affairs of the county government. Let
every voter make up his own ticket
from those put forward by the parties,
and vote for it-always giving prefer.
ence to those true and tried officials
who have heretofore honestly and faith
fully served the county and who are
honored by their party with re-
nomination.
