Blaine on the Third Party Pro-
hihitiOniStS.

Maine for the last seventeen years
has been under the prOhibitory law.
| think the State has derived great
advantage from it. think the State
is far richer and far better. But we
have Il party now coming i'll telling us
in effect that Maine had betten not
pay any attention to prohibition UNI
til we can organize national party,
and we can suspend temperance i'll
fine, practically, until we convert
Texas and Alabama. That is pre-
cisely what this National Prohibition
party means for those who talk free
~ avow that they intend to defeat the
Republican party and bring the Dem
ocratic party in power as temper
ancc movement. Laughter. And
this Prohibition party, outside of pro-
hibitiOn, is entering into partnership
with the Democratic party to defeat
the Republicans, if that were possible,
in Maine, to elect that sanity embodi-
mcnt of prohibition and temperance,
David b. Hill, Governor of New York,
and all over the country to stab the
Republican party and in the dark, in
order, they say, that the Democratic
party shall be brought into power.
Then there will be a reaction against
the Democrats, and by some political
process, of which the workings is not
yet apparent, the national Prohibi
tionists will come into power. Eel
low citizens, the Republicans of Maine
have worked for many years i'll and
for temperance reform, and will not
turn back from the good cause. But
the immediate work this year is to
defend the system of protection and
insure good wages to labor.'-James
&. Blaine, IN recent speech.

S ranIy trtterunc..

After his unanimous nomination
Governor Hill thus spoke with refer
ence to the National candidates:
"Thesc are my first public utterances
since my nomination. Let me he
clearly understood II is my sincere
wish and desire that every Democrat
in the State, and particularly every
friend of mine, shall vote for Cleye-
land and Thurman. also trust that
every one who calls himself an indie
pendent, and every conservative Re
publican who believes with us upon
the issue of tariff reform, will like
wise vote for our national ticket,
whether he votes for me or not; and
while I should like to receive his suf-
fragc. vet. if he thinks he cannot con-
sistently give it, l hope that his OBJ
lection to me or to any part of our
ticket will not prevent his loyal sup
port of our presidential standard bear-
cr. Our success in the nation over
towers all personal consideration"

The MemphiS Appeal.

\ few papers are entertaining them
selves by bcratinG the Memphis APP
peal for the interest it manifcSts i'll
this State and its championship of
good government. The Appeal is II
great paper, enjoying widespread
patronage i'll Mississippi; and because
of its interest in the affairs of its pa
irons, that patronage and its influence
are growing steadily and rapidly.
The best people of Mississippi hold
principles above mere State bounda-
ries; and in their efforts to secure the
blessings of good government, they
welcome the helping hand of
Tcnnesseean as warmly as that of a
Mississippian. May the Appeal never
die, its principles never change, and
its influence for good, be quickened
and hroadcned with the coming years
NcC Mississjppian.
The above is we'll said, and the y.
VI. might have added that not one of
the Appeals narrow minded critics
is doing half as much for the good of
Mississippi as the great Tennessee
Daily.

4 Mistaken Idea.

The argument of some persons, that
the increase in price of bagging does
no injustice to the cotton grower,
because he sells the bagging at the
price paid for cotton, is fallaciOus. Ii
does appear to the superficial observer,
that if two pounds of bagging is pur
chased at II cents per yard and the
cotton is sold at s cents per pound
that the producer would receive 16
cents per yard for the bagging. and
would therefore have u profit of
cents, but the truth is the price of the
cotton is fixed in the great markets of
the world, with an eye to the fact that
the weight of the bagging and ties are
to be deducted, and as % consequence
the cost of the bagging and ties, what
ever it may be, is an entire loss to the
producer. To illustrate, suppose a
bale of cotton weighs 500 pounds,
gross. The Liverpool buyer knows
he gets only 47S pounds of cotton in a
800 pound bale and fixes the price
accordingly, and the price SO fixed is
exactly what he would pay for ATS
pounds of cotton and no more; for he
regards the bagging and ties as worth
less. About one fourth ola cent is usu-
ally deducted on account of the bagging
and ties, so that if cotton is worth st
cents the price is fixed at cents to
cover the loss on the wrapping of the
bale. 500 pounds then brings $40
when 800 pounds of cotton would be
worth in the'market $3.50 cents. In
stead, therefore, of the producer reali-
zing profit on his bagging and ties
he actually sustains loss beyond
their cost, for the reduction on the
price of his cotton is even greater than
the cost of the bagging and ties. 1t
is clear therefore that any increase in
price of the material used to cover the
cotton, is so much money taken from
the pockets of the cotton growers for
which there is no return.--C hickdsdW

The Woodville Courier went to
press five days after the killing of l..
c. Johnston by Capt. Lewis, of the
Woodville Republican, right in its
own town, and yetin all that time had
not been able, so it said, to learn the
circumstances of the killing and what
led to it. And what is more, it hasn't
learned yet. Such journalistic enter
prise is amazing. Certainly nobody
takes such n paper for the ners it
contains.

\ minister recently, after preaching
upon the great importance of honesty,
asked all those present who paid their
debts, to stand up; and the audience
almost to a man arose. He then ask
ed those who did not, to rise, and II
pale-faced care-worn editor struggled
to his feet, and explained that she
could not because so large percent
age of the congregation that had just
taken their seats did not pay him."
Verify the newspaper man wears a
crown of poverty, but it is studded
with the bright gems of truth and
honesty.

In the North the Third Party Pro-
hibitionists are denounced by the
Republican Press and leaders as "as-
sistant Democrats" while in the
South they are piously called by the
Democratic politicians and papers.
"D-d cranks and assistant Repub-
LEANS" 1t depends altogether upon
whose OK is likely to be gored. For
instance, see what Mr.. Blaine says
about the Third party men being in
partnership with the Democrats to
defeat the Republicans.

y \ whisky correspondent of the Sum
nit Sentinel, still smarting under his
late defeat, in view of the fact that Il
Third party convention has been call
ed at Jackson to put out Fisk and
Brooks elcctral ticket, advises meet
ing of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee and the formal dismissal of all
Prohibition Democrats in Pike. If
that were done, there would scarcely
be any Democratic party left except
a few old eX-Rads who turned Demo
crat for policy's sake, and the whisky
niGgers with whom they do so love to
congregate in local option elections.
But we haven't the least idea "C's''
silly advice will be needed.
