THE Atlanta Constitution reports that the
local option campaign in Mississippi grows
warmer as 1t proceeds. In some counties
the feeling on both sides is as bitter as 1t
was in the most stirring period Of recon-
structlon. Unfortunately, there seems TO
be disposition TO shut OIL a fair discussion
of the Issues involved, and, the Constitution
adds, to carry the elections by bulldo2lng
and methods q little short Of actual vic.
lence, At a recent meeting Of the Kinds
county Prohibitionists resolutions were
adopted charging the liquor men with
massing the blacks against tho whites. The
resolution says;
That looking alone to the interest of our
country and both races inhabitng II we do in
solemn and terrible earnestness resolve to carry
said election for the cause Of prohibition.
Wehereby announce that we will never stand
idly by and see whisky voted on this county by
the few whites who have espouscd the cause
Ofwhisky and the masses OF misguided colored
voters of said county.
We hereby call upon every man in Kinds
county who has drop Of Caucasian blood in
his veins and the best class OF colored people
TO stand by us In this great evil.
We appeal to all classes Of our citizens and
of both sexes TO use every means in their power
10 carry said election.
The Constitution shows that, on the other
hand, the antls have been very unfairly
treated by the Prohibltlonists. An anti
Prohibition meeting was visited by crowd
OF armed Prohibitlonlsts, who demanded .

EDITOR DoRsHEIMER, Of the New York
star, newspaper whose zeal in religious
work is second only to Its interest in the
success Of the Democratic administration,
remarks, in tone that gives us painful
surprise, that "there are certain regions Of
our own fair land, no farther off than Penn
sylyania for instance, where the ignorance
and the wickedness OF the savage prevail to
an extent that would put o South African
or Fiji Islander TO heathenish blush"
Without pauslng even for moment to ex-
plain what he means by a "beathenish
hlush," or TO let us know wherein the
"heathenishn differs from the orthodox
Christian article, Editor Dorsheimer pushes
ahead with the cheerful statement that "the
good Quakers have now undertaken to set
an example of this practical home mission

pose a region which has been closed for
years to the officers of the law. 1t Is n
noble and heroic work, infinitely more &C.
ceptable in heaven, we should judge, and
certainly more logical to man, than to plant
potatoes in Hindoostan aud distribute tracts
In China" II Editor Dorshelmer does not
know to q certainty what kind Of work is
most acceptable in heaven" We are sure
that Editor Pulitzer does. But THIS is a

Two Public Land Decisions.

In the case of the desert land entry OF
Charles W. Filkins, from the Los Angeles
district of California, the Secretary OF the
Interior has decided that lands within the
limits of the executive order Of withdrawal
of Aug. 25, 1877, for the benefit of the Mis-
sion Indians, though then covered by a
prima facie valid entry, were on the cancel
lation Of such entry reserved by said order
Of withdrawal from other appropriation.
1t is said that this case yirtuallp decides a
large number Of others OF similar character
In the case of George w. Macy ct al, In
volving ten pre.emption entries made In
the Duluth land district Of Minnesota, the
Secretary Of the Interior has affirmed the
decision Of the general land office, holding
sasd entries for cancellation, on the ground
that they were fraudulently made in the
interest Of the John Martin Lumber Com
pany.

Friends Gets the Position.

Friends Gets the Position.
Daniel Magone, Of ogdensburg, N. Y,
was yesterday appointed by the President
to succeed Col. Hedden as collector Of the
port OF New York. Hon. Daniel Magone
was one Of Mr.. Tllden's most trusted
friends and political agents, He is lawyer
OF prominence and ability, but, though
active for years as q political leader, has
rarely been In public life. He was chosen
by Gov. Tilden to head his canal commits
sion for the purpose of breaking up the
canal ring. Some ten or twelve years ago
Mr.. Magone was chairman of the Demo-
cratic state central committee Of New York.
In 1869 he was the Democratic candidate
of his district for state senator, but was
defeated by Amasa Y. Parker, the district
being strongly Republican. In 1873 he was
nominated by Gov. Robinson for superiu-
tendent Of public works and summarily
rejected by the Republican senate upon the
ground OF his politics. Mr.. Magone is a
very warm friend of Acting Secretary Fair
child, and the selection is ascribed to the
latter. He is man Of means. Mr.. Magonc
was not an applicant for the collectorship,
and had not been pressed for the place. The
President rendered him the office some
time ago, and he made known his accept
ance on Monday. The resignation Of Col
Hcdden was received by the President yes.

Congressman Mills did not fight in the last

Congressman Mills is not entirely re.
sponsible for what he says, inasmuch us he
has been in a state of mind bordering on

his temper when Mr.. Cleveland sent his

fore his Inauguration. That lost temper

Incidents of the Coming Revolution.


Incidents of the Coming Revolution.
The following communication was pub
lished, with approving comments, in the
Chicago Inter Ocean Of last Sunday:
NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 4.-The insur-
rectionary disturbances In Northern Mexico
and alleged outrages upon American citi-
zens are merely the premonitory incidents
OF the coming revolution. Southern states
men, the leaders who control the solid
south, have for years been devoted to the
work Of annexing the northern part OF
Mexico to the Union, and thus form sew
eral new states which will be under the alb
solute control Of the same party that
overthrow the reconstructed state govern
ments and made the solid south as 1t exists
to-day. The ignorant population OF North
ern Mexico can be easily controlled by the
skill and courage Of small number OF
southern men acting In concert for that
purpose. The methods that succeed In
Louisiana and Mississippi, the fraud and
free policy of the white league cannot fail
to produce like results II applied to Mexi-
can voters In the new states which the
chiefs hope to make beyond Texas.
This is not new scheme. Such addition
to the old solid south has bean contem-
plated since the old rebel element first un-
dertook to regain power In the states of the
confederacy. Agents have been actively
though secretly at work for years, and the
time for the consummation Of the gigantic
design is now at the door.
Remember Texas. On the Sd Of March,
1S43, j. q. Adams and his associates, the
antislavery members Of Congress, pub
lished warning that the scheme for an-
nexipg Texas was being wrought out in
secret, and the promoters hoped TO succeed
The warning was unheeded. Leaders and
people In the north would not believe, No
public action confirmed the truth OF the
charge, yet 1t was true, aud twenty-four
months later-March 3, 1S45-Calhoun dis
patched a messenger from Washington to
announce to the Mexican government the
passage Of the act OF annexation. The work
was done. A. III. ABRAs.

TO such an extent that they broke up the

lists were preacher, a deputy sheriff, and a
Justice Of the peace They fired some fifty
or more shots as they rode of, with view
to ofrightenlng the negroes. This is fair

Nomination of Judge H. f. slmrall.


EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN Please
allow me space in your paper to say few
words in reference to the nomination OF
Judge IL. f. Simrall, OF the Shoestring
district of Mississippi, for Congress in OPP
position to Gen. T. G. Catching, the present
Democratic incumbent. / noticed In an
evening paper yesterday remark to the
effect that the election Of Gen. Catching
was foTegone conclusion. The writer OF
that article is entirely mistaken, and evil
IDENTIFY does not know anything about the
relative strength OF the two political parties
In that district. | can't imagine what he
bases such a remark upon when 1t is well
known by everybody that with free ballot
and fair count the district is thoroughly
Republican by from 1900 to 10000 ma
jority, and can safely say that with Judge
Simrall as the standard bearer tho district
will surely give him that majority, for he is
known as man of spotless character, and
Is to-day one Of the ablest men In the state
OF Mississippi, This is conceded by Demo-
Gratis, and no man knows II better than
Gen. Catching, who stated in conVersa-
tlon with the writer few days since, that
II Judge Simrall should be nominated by
the Republicans and the colored peoplS ex-
pressed desire TO vote for him then he
(Catching) did not care 10 be a candidate
against him, for he knew he was popular
man with his party, and with such man
on the ticket the district was hopelessly
Republican. The convention nominated
Judge Simrall by acclamatlon, and there
will be no split In that district this time.
There is no man In Congress now who will
command more respect upon the floor than
Judge Simrall. FRIEND.
