that has been the subject of more repub>
lican maedictions than all others, it is
Copiah county, Mississippi, the theatre
of the so called "Copiah massacre" that
once formed SO sanguinary picture in
republican campaign literature. For
five years it has been presented to the
world in the republican press as the home
of murderers and assassins, fit only for
universal execration. What will be the
surprise of the country, then, to hear that
Copiah county has just pronounced for
prohibition, and ranged itself under the
banner of those surprisingly virtuous
and amiable persons, the teetotalers. The
campaign, which has been going on for a
month amid great excitement, ended in a
vote last Tuesday, with majority OF

WASHINGTON CITY, July ga. B. Wood,
consul at dundee, Scotland, writes to the
state department a very interesting report,
which is published in the June reports bear
ing on the interests held by foreign, and
especially English corporations in Ameri-
can Investments His statements regarding
foreign investments in the land and cattle
business in this country are especially in
teresting at this time in view of agitation
throughout the country and in congress
hostile to alien requirement of public lands
Mr.. Wood says that the first cattle and land
company formed in the United Kingdom
for operations in the United States was the
Prairie Cattle company of Edinburgh, estab
lished in 1870 The success of this COM
pany was so great that the formation OF
other companies of the same kind was
very rapid, and Dundee became soon inter
ested in the Texas Land and Cattle com
pany, the Matador, and the Hansfor Land
and Cattle company; also in the Arkansas
Valley Land and Cattle company, the Pow
der River Cattle company, and at Edin-
burg the following companies were formed
The California Pastoral aud Agricultural
company, the Missouri Land and Live
Stock company, Montana Sheep and Cattle
company; Prairie Cattle company, and the

Mr.. Wood says there is no Trustworthy

SEVERAL newspapers Of the republican
persuasion are endeavoring TO throw q
sop to the prOhibitionists by advocating
local option as a substitute for state and
national prohibtio There is no reas-
onIng which applies to local option which
does not apply with increased strength
to the state or the nation. Il it is right
for Il majority of a town or village to 10
teItere with the personal liberty Of. the
minority it is equally right for the major
ity Of the larger civil division to do the
same thing. As a matter Of fact there
exists no such right, The powers OF
government do not extend to the per
soual habits Of the people. If man pre-
fers beer to lemonade he has a perfect
right to indulge his taste so long as il
