what was justly due to those who were
disabled in the war for the | Mon.
Mr.. Morrison, Of Illinois, said that
for all the years Of the war and for ten
years thereafter the Republicans had
had control Of the Government in all
its branches. Skilled alike in states
maDship and the display Of patriotism,
the Republican party had made ample
provision for the payment of pensions
10 soldiers. Since his experience here
he did not recollect the name Of south
ern man who had ever failed to vote to
the last dollar what that party had pro-
vided by law should be paid to the SOL
der.
The discussion was continued by
MesSrs. Reed of Maine, Hiscock of
New York, and others, and drifted into
the old groove as to whether the Demo-
cratic party was sincere in its profession
of economy, or whether it had not
made inadequate appropriations for the
purpose of being able to 90 before the
country with a favorable showing Of
expenditures.
Pending action the committee rose.
The debate throughout the day was
marked by much interest and some ex-
citement, though good nature prevailed
at all times. The chairman had much
difficulty in keeping the committee in
order, but succeeded well in his hard
task, though at times the confusion was
so great that the voices Of the speak
ers were drowned in applause and
laughter.
The Speaker appointed Mr.. Wilkins,
of Ohio, as . member Of the Commit
tee on Education in place Of Mr.. Cur
tin, of Pennsylvania, excused.

can make enough in a few hours to run

The cost is matter of nothing, so that
even small towns can use it. He thinks
il will soon supercede all Illuminating oils

public the benefit OF it.

Methodist Church. is now engaged
in the Prohibition canvass in some
uf the counties Of this State. Bishop
Galloway was pastor Of the Method
list Church in this city for four years,
and has many friends here. lie
delivered an address in Vicksburg
early in the canvass. which the
Greenville Times somewhat severely
criticised. We did not hesr the
Bishops address, IS 81 that time
very little interest was taken in the
campaign. We are satisfied, how
ever, that Bishop Galloway is a true
friend to all the people of this State,
and that be advocates his cause
with the hest OF motives; and we
also believe he has made no asser.
tion that he cannot sustain. The
Bishop, however, is fully able tn
take care Of himself, and we allude
to the matter only as all interesting
feature Of the Prohibition campaign.

Glory Hallejah Praise God from
Whom all Blessings Flow.

After the most heated and active
canvass in the history Of our people,
Lincoln county has been redeemed
from the bondage Of the liquor
traffic. BY prayer, and perseverance,,
and work, and energy on the part
OF both men and women, a victory
has been achieved which at one
time many dared not hope for. II
is a great moral victory, and was
won only by fair means by the
handsome majority of $50 ont OF the
largest vote ever polled in the coun-
ty. The leaders of the opposition
tried in vain TO deceive and mislead
The people as TO the true issue, but
they could not be deceived, and they
spoke ia thunder tones last Tuesday
the mandate that the liquor traffic
must go. The decision is a monu-
ment to the virtue and intelligence
OF our people, black as we'll "a white
In numerous instances the colored
men stood shoulder to shoulder with
their white friends on election day
and cast their ballots against the
sale" IL is notable fact that in
beat l which contains over half the
colored men in the county, the wet
ticket received a majority OF only 5
votes, while in htat 3, where the col
ored population is very small, the
wet majority reached u.
But the victory of Tuesday was
not confined to Lincoln. Kinds,
The great empire county Of Mi.sis-
i ,,ri, in which is situated jackson
tht STATE Capitol, also voted the
traffic opt by the splendid majority
az llO7. A letter from NJ. VI F.
Bird writes US that Franklin cOun-
ty also went dry by a small majority.
Surely this is glory enough for one
day.
A word in conclusion. The great
victory the Prohibitionists have won
carries with it a'great responsibility.
We have not been contending
against individuals, as such, but
against great evil; therefore, let
any personal annimosities be for
gotten and any wrongs forgiven.
Victors can always afford to be gen.
erous. On the other hand, let it be
understood once for all that, as far
as the traffic is concerned, we intend
to claim everything our victory
means. Let it be understood that
we intend to see to it that Prohibit
tion does prohibit the traffic, and
that the man who disregards or
defies the law, or the officer who
dares refuse to perform or neglects
his duty, shall have visited upon
him the full penalty of the law, and
the condemnation of an intelligent
public opinion.

Bishop Galloway Endorsed.

In his speech at the Grand Prohi-
bition Demonstration at this place
last Saturday, Bishop Galloway
stated that he had been humiliated
aud grieved at the personal attacks
made upon hin few days before by
a Canton paper on account Of pro-
hibition speech be had made in that
town. and which was reproduced in
this place without his having been
given go much as an opportunity TO
he heard. lie declared with great
emphasis that he had never, on any
occasion, said anything, IN public or
private, which could be legitimatelv
construed into al attempt to excite
race prejudices or incite riot, as
charged in these articles, and such
statements were absolutely false. He
had said, however, and reiterated it,
that the liquor traffic brought more
trouble upon the heads of the color
ed men than anything else, and that
the fellow always handiest with the
revolver WAS the saloon bully.
A resolution strongly condemna-
tory " TIE Canton and Brook haven
papers mentioned was introduced by
DR.. J. O. Frilick at the conclusion
Of Bishop Galloway's speech, but at
the Bishops request it wac with,
drawn, lie remarking that he
harbored no i'll will toward anyone
on account Of it, and the matter was
not worth dignifying with SO much
notice. Another resolution was then
introduced and unanimously adopt
ed by rising vote to the effect that
The people have the most unlimited
confidence in Bishop Galloway, and
that nothing he has ever said OF
done is inconsistent with the lotties;
type of citizenship and his exalted
office as minister and bishop.
