threatens so directly and so serious
ly the best interests OF the state,
that its power to influence politics
for evil seems to me one of the most
dangerous, of the evil forces in our
day and land.
1t has learned the efficacy OF thor
ough organization. 1t is absolutely
INSCRIPTIONS in the use of money,
and in posing as the advocate of ''pcr-
sonal liberty, it cleverly steals the
livery of heaven in which to serve
the devil. Already, it owns lcgisla-
tors; unless resisted, it will own leg
laturcs; and a traffic which destroys
homes, dcgrades manhood, multi
plies criminals, crowds our jails and
houses, is on the road to such
unrestricted power that already in
great cities, we see it attempting to
dictate the policy OF parties an! to
name our Judges, sheriils, district
attorney, and all others who make
or administer the laws.
To undertake to estimate the eff
fleets, moral, social, and political OF
such a condition of things, is a task
larger than your limits permit to me.
But the widespread apathy in re-
gard to the whole matter may well
fill one with alarm. Not until the
people are aroused to the danger
that threatcnes them, mot ill they
have resolved that no man tainted
by participation in this traffic can
be tolerated in any public office
(howeycr innocent individuals may
be of any corrupt fellowship with
those who make their laws as 10 IL
quor selling by buying the law-mak
ers), can we hope that our common
peril may be avsrtcd. We are told
that the country wants in politics a
new ard living issue. Well, here It
is; vital, urgent, and of conse-
queuco second to none which in tie
history of the land, has stirred mems
deepest convictions.

Few, if any, intelligent citizen of
the United States doubt that the sa-
loon is moral, social, and political
blight On our civilization. Since the
days of the prophets the incorporate
use of strong drink has been de-
nounccd as Il moral evil by states
men, sages, and philosophers. In
later days the traffic in intoxicating
liquor has been investigated from
physiological and economic stand
points, and more recently the atten-
ton of thinking men ha, been drawn
to the political power of the saloon
and its communicating influence on
the ballot box.
In a republic which is based on
manhood suffrage, the saloon be-
comes a dangerous factor in polite
al life. The occupation of the sa-
loon-keepers appears to destroy all
patriotism. Their political actions
are entirely governed by selfish mo-
tives. Their political influence over
the patrons Of their bars is great and
the practical politicians in the large
cities look on the saloons located
amidst the struggling poor as a
stronger ally than either press OF
pulpit. We have known politicians
20 be the owners Of several saloons
for the strength it would give them
in all election. And in smaller cities
aud towns OF our country the SER
vices of the saloon.keeper are pur.
chased by one or more OF the local

FpITog TMEs,-Dear Sir: As II
has been about two years since !
wrote anything for my county paper,
thought ! would let your readers
hear from this endof the county once
more. Crops are good, but not equal
to last year. We have had great
deal of sickness, some cases fatal.
Mrs. Il. j. Ashburn died on the
9TH. day of this month, leaving a
young babe which was sick when lis
mother died, grandma Ashburn took
the little child TO raise but did no:
keep it long, on July l4th. it was
called TO meet its mother in better
world. Mrs. Ashburn was seven
teen years old and her babe Is days
old when it died.
Capt. l.. Ward has been very sick
but is better now.
J. w. Hayes has little girl very
sick of intermittent fever.
DIR. ID. G. Joyner is on the sick
list.
We had very good rain few
days ago.
! have never seen people so tan
gled up over an election, althon Oh,
some say that they will stand by the
party. But the people say that they
will not in the future vote for man
who buys votes with whisky, there
was at least 20 drunk men mt the
primary election on the eth, and
II bloody fights. The question now
is, where did the whisky come from.
who brought it here: We will give
$50, for positive proof as tn who
brought the whisky here. Mr.. Ed
itor, please tell me whether or not,
it is a violation of the law to bring
whisky 10 any election. While this
end Of the county has such hard
name. it is all caused by twenty or
thirty men, while we have as good
people here as any part of the coun-
ty. 1t is all caused by few bad
men, who love whisky better than
they love their maker. Mr.. Editor,
what do you think Of man who
would sell his votes for four or five
drinks of red liquor: there were men
here who did not know whether
they had voted or not and wanted to
vote the second time.
Mr.. Editor, il you can get these
scattering remarks in shape to print,
TO so. And obligc,
A srnsg .s
The free use OF whiskcy in innu-
cncing our elections is a sad com
mentary on the system adopted by
the polititiancrs OF Mississippi coun-
| ty. Although it is proudly claimed
that very large majority of our
citizenship are high toned, homo
rable, intelligent, refined and up
right, yet it remains fact, shame
full fact, that instead of elcvating and
purifying politics, and bringing the
cnfranchised element whose vote can
be bought with drink of whiskcy
to regard public Office honorable and
sacred, the aspirants, as rule, adopt
the very means and tactics whereby
the already low and vicious are sunk
still deeper in degradation, and all
are lowered, Inundated and dis.
graced, and olasscd with the vicious
The good people of Scott township,
who claim tc be largely in the ma
Ijority, have it in their power, il they
will only exercise a little common
sense, (no need to offer brides or re-
wards), not only to get proof of the
guilty in this primary case, but to
have the local option law perpetual
ly enforced. Those few candidates
who did not make use of this devils
broth influence, and were retired
from the race, or had no opposition,
are, of course, exempt from any cen

WASHING TON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 81. ISIS

From our regular correspondent.
WAsHINGToN. Aug 81. 1855.
Senator Stewart is after the Gen
eral Land Office with a vengeance.
lie does not believe that the affairs
of that office are az well conducted
as they should be, and he has offered
a resolution calling upon the Score
tary of the Interior for information
as to land suits, land patents and
timber depredations, 1t is opposed
by the democrats on the ground that
it will cost too much to prepare the
statement, but Senator Stewart will
probably insist on having his reso-
luton passed
The House has passed the bill re-
curing all Government securities TO
be printed in the highest style of
art, on hand presses.
The republican Senators held a
caucus last night to consider the
tariff bill, Cleyeland's bombastic
message, and general legislation. 1t
is probable that the republicans will
agree to pass a resolution which
will give Mr.. Cleveland all the
authority for which he asks in order
to retaliate upon Canada for its
treatment of our fishermen and other
interests, although they believe that
the Joint resolution, passed more
than eighteen months ago, gave him
all the authority for which be now
asks. But it is not at all likely that
he will do anything; in issuing his
message he has accomplished the
only object he had in yiew-trying
to hold the Irish vote for the demo.
cratic party. The intelligent Irish
men of this country are not how
ever, likely to be caught by anything
as transparent as Cleveland's mes
sage.
The pleasant little fiction known
as "civil service REFORM" which was
so popular in the early days of the
present pinehback, administration,
has been entirely laid aside, and
every office holder Is expected to put
his hand in his pocket and his
shoulder to the Wheel to help re-

Prospects in New York.

The political news from New York
is most encouraging. The changes
from the Democratic to the Repub-
lican side, in consequence of the
free-trade issue, are vast in number,
occur in all parts of the state, and
are among all classes of voters. a
correspondent of the Boston Herald,
an independent newspaper support
ing Cleveland, has been investigat-
ing the condition of political affairs
in the Empire state, and he reports
that, outside the two great cities,
the Republicans will poll for Gen
eral Harrison a bigger majority by
from 10000 to $4,000 than they did
for Mr.. Blaine, while in New York
and Brooklin he thinks it not I'M
likely that the Democratic vote will
fall of some 5000. The Repub-
Leans are better united than they
nave been in twenty years. In the
"stalwart" belts there is the strong
est feeling for Harrison, and the
former line of Conkling and anti
Conkling men has been obliterated.
This correspondent adds that the
Butler men of 1884, constituting a
large body of Democratic protec-
tionists care more firmly against
Cleveland and free trade than ever
before" 1t will be recolleeted that
the charge has been made and never
refuted that Butler votes IN the
Tammany districts in 1884 were
counted for Cleveland to an extent
far greater than Cleyeland's appar-
ent majority in the state. The
number Of letters received from
Democrats who voted for Cleveland
in 1884 and will vote for Harrison
this wear, is" be says simply aston
ishing." In short he regards the
Republican claim of $4,000 majority
in the Empire state as well founded
on the indications that now present
themselves.

made previous To the nomination OF
Warner Miller by the Republicans

THE VERDICT UNANIMOUS.

1t pleases the lawyer, and his client
too, to have the verdict of the jury
unanimous, for it is good for moth
ing unless all the "twelve men, good
and true" join in it. A great jury,
composed of the American travelling
public, has rendered a unanimous
verdict on "The Burlington" as a
railroad, agreeing that its promises
of fast time, sure connections and
frst-class accommodations are al
ways carried out to the letter. This
pleasant verdict has been obtained
without great pains taken to build
the best kind of q road, equip it in
an elegant manner, secure competent
and polite employees, and run it in

over "The Burlington" for your next
