To the Citizens Of Mississippi:

To the Citizens of Mississippi:
The recent Immigration Convention
which assembled in Jackson at the
call of the Governor, was one of the
largest and most enthusiastic bodies
ever assembled in the State. 1t show
ed sudden awakening of the people
of the State to the Importance of tax
ing immediate steps towards securing
Mississippi share of the very desira-
BILE class of immigrants now seeking
homes in the South. Texas, Florida,
Arkansas and Louisiana have already
lead of, and are reaping a golden
harvest, and have demonstrated what
organization, advertising and energy
can do. 1t has shown also that the
States which invite immigration will
first secure it.
That the tide of immigration has
set South is apparent to every observer,
and is plainly set forth in the table
prepared by Col. Moorman, the very
efficient President of the immigration
Association of Louisiana.
"In order to show what has been
and can be accomplished by organiza-
tions, advertising and energy, | have
prepared table showing the percen-
tage of increase of population of cer-
tain States in eight years, as follows:

State, ever ready to engage in any
work to benefit the people and add to
our natural development, are earnestly
requested to give their moral and eff
eient support to carry out the objects
desired by the convention. These as
soeiations in the different localities will
have for their object the collecting and
publishing of all facts likely to show
the resources and advantages of their
respective districts, and to raise funds
to meet this expense and also contrib
ute to maintenance of the State organ
ization at Jackson. The expenses at
Jackson will be an agent who will take
charge of the office, aid the local orga-
nizations in distributing their publiea-
tions and also his own for the State at
large; directing immigrants to differ
ent localities and giving them full in
formation as to different parts of the
State; and such other duties as will
disseminate accurate and reliable in
formation MS to the climate and resour-
ces of the State.
The State organization being entire
ly without funds appeals with conf
dence to associations already organi-
zed, to boards of trade inthe State, to
corporations, banks, railroad compa-
nies and individuals, in their hberality,
to send such amounts as they deem
proper to the First National Bank of
jackson, to be placed to the credit Of
the executive committee, to be used in
starting the work. Ii is thought that
not less than $4,000 will meet this ex-
pense in starting. Ii is believed that
a great revolution is taking place in
the minds of the people as to the I'M
portance of this movement. Nothing
can be done without funds, and for the
present these funds must be by volun-
tary contributions.
So great has been this movement re-
Gently in Texas, that hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars have been raised In
this cause. In Arkansas about 100000,
and in a few weeks $4,000 have been
placed in the hands of the State orga-
nization in Louisiana to put the ma
chinery into operation. 1t is believed
Mississippi will also show her appreci-
alton of the movement in a substantial
manner.
This address is put out by the State
Executive Committee, who appointed
the following subcommittee to pre-
pare and publish it. And is respect
fully submitted.

The fri ends of Governor Hill, OF
New York, are pressing his claims as
a candidate for President, with some
chance of making an inroad in the
strongholds of President Cleveland.
This effort induces the Cincinnati En-
quirer to ask for the nomination of
candidate that the friends of both
gentlemen can warmly support. If
the feud in New York is us extensive
MS it is supposed to be by many well
informed Democrats, the suggestion
of the Enquirer may prove to be a
good one. We, however, do not be-
lieve that Hill will be able to make
very formidable diversion as against
Cleveland.

Mrs. Beauchamp, the president Of
tho w. @. T. U. of Texas, in writing
TO a friend at a distance an account
OF the late prohibition CANVASS in this
State, makes the following sensible
remarks:
"Women did much, but they worked
against fearful odds. Had the case
been otherwise, the result would have
been different. Lpstly, when cleo
ton day came, public sentiment did
not rote, for women compose more
than half the sentiment. Maybe it
would have been wrong; maybe the
traffic is not so bad as woman suffrage.
Hundreds of our women staid on the
grounds all day. I think it would
have been no worse If they had de-
posted little white ballot and gone
home to their business"

@. @. Burkott writes from the
North TO the Times concerning the
observance OF Christmas in that Soc
ton, what we know TO be true. He
says:
"Christmas in the North is by no
means like Christmas in the South.
There, rs n general thing, from Christ
mas eve until New Year, reports OF
every shooting instrument from
cannon down TO a fre-cracker can be
heard; but here you hear nothing vf
the kind.
People here would not understand
it, Such is carried on on the Fourth
Of July, but not during Christmas
holidays. Here the day is regarded
quite sacred, and it is generally so OBJ
served by the Christian denomina-
tons.
The common class Of people here
enjoy Christmas more than others.
They know how to get into the real
merits, and make it what it should be.

Victorious In Defeat.

Victorious IN Deieht.
Such may almost be said OF truth
of prohibition in Texas. The moral
power OF 100000 votes in its favor is
proving too much for the 10000 ma
jority against il. Tho former repre-
senied the moral, the religious, the
thoughtful, the educated, enlightened
and progressive element OF our popu-
lation the latter, as mass-with
many exceptions, ii is true-stood for
dense ignorance, social inertia, and
moral perversion and degradation.
These arc notorious facts. The pro-
hibition press aud speakers came be-
fore tho people with unanswerable
facts and logic, which have been
bearing fruit ever since in GRIPPING
the liquor traffic and causing the
fruits OF tho so-called "victory
to turn TO dust and ashes on the
lips OF tho votaries of anti-pro-
hibition.
Who does not SOC that these things
are so? Who does not see that the
saloons have not recovered from the
/" hot shot poured into them by the
prohibition journals and speakers?
They have never been the same since
their evil prestige is, to large ex
tent, gone, and if the advocates Of
temperance do their duty, will never
be renewed. The canvass of last
year has educated the public mind 30
that even multitudes Of those who
voted against prohibition look with
clearer vision on the enormities of the
liquor traffic, and are inclined to give
it the cold shoulder. The course of
the saloon people has gone far to con
firm the general dislike toward them.
Their determination to control cleo
tions, their openly expressed, arrogant
determination to set at defiance all
laws intended to regulate their bust.
ness, and to turn the Christian Sab
bath into q day of bacchanalian rev
elry, satisfied all doubters that after
all the prohibition movement was
we'll founded, and the saloons the
foes of law, order and morality.
These things became 30 plain and
pronounced that even some OF their
leading champions in the late canvass.
such us the Galveston News, Judge
Cook and Attorney General Hogg,
felt constrained by the aroused pub
lie sentiment to denounce their course
and take official action in opposition
thereto.
Altogether the moral status of
Texas was nightly improved by the
late canvass. The saloons have re.
manned ever since in crippled con-
dition, and vice and immortality have
consequently diminished. This was
most strikingly made manifest dur
ing the holidays last past, during
which there was less drunkenness and
crime than had been ever known in
the State.
Said we not truly that the prohibi-
tionists may we'll claim, to large
tent, victory in defeat? Let them
continue to stand firmly by their
principles in faith and practice, and
continue the good work of public ed
ucation so we'll begun, and they may
confidently rely that the public liquor
traffic will never again have the con-
trolling influence it has heretofore
had in Texas.
