Stone Endorsed at Home.

The Democrats of TishOmingO,
Hon. J. NJ. Stones home county, met
in convention on the 18th ult., and
endorsed his candidacy for Governor
in the following terms :
We, the people of Tishomingo coun-
ty,in convention assembled, commend
to our fellow citizens of our sister
counties in Mississippi our respected
and beloved neighbOr and fellow-citi-
zen, the Hon. John NJ. Stone, for the
nomination for Governor at the en-
suing July State Convention, and We
hope and believe that careful re-
view of his official record during
the six years he served as chief ex-
ecutive of our State will commend
him to the people of the entire State
We point with pride and admiration
to his spOtless executive record, and
believe we know the man well
enough to say should he be nominated
and elected and have the cooper
alton of a wise and economical legis-
lature, he will speedily relieve Oul
beloved State of her present painful
financial embarrassment and at the
expiration of his Official term, with
our State free from debt and hel
treasury overlooking with wealth as
he did before; therefore, be it
ReSOlred, by the Democracy OF
TishOmingo county, in convention as
sembled, That believing we have in
the Hon. j. NJ. Stone a man who has
left every position to which lie has
been called with spOtless character,
and believing he will administer the
Government in the interest of the
people, our delegates hereby appoint
ed to the State Convention are hereby
instructed to cast the vote of this
county for him for Governor and use
all honorable means to secure his
nomination.

Tobacco AbStainers.

WessOn Miss, has tobacco reform
club whose obligation is to totally alb
stain from its use in the future, thus
prolonging their lives ten years as
they estimate it.
Capt's. Oliver, Earns and Garner,
Messrs. HOpkinson, Woodin, Sexton,
SuddOth, Ed. Thompson, E. B. VIM
berly and T. A. Lee are the present
members. The club ought to grow
until every citizen in our town addict
ed to the use of tobacco had Joined.
1t is a filthy, useless, expensive habit,
producing heart disease, dyspepsia,
loss of eysight and nervousness in
every person who uses it. Though a
moderate user of the weed we expect
to join hands with the Reform Club
Wess0n Mirror.

E. L. MARTIN, Sec'y.

An exchange well says it is not
likely the convention to assemble in
July next will select a ticket that is
faultless, but the delegates should see
to it that the men put forth to repre-
sent them are in accord with the de-
mands of the people on the vital ques-
tions now agitating the public mind,
rather than puppets of corrupt oil
garchy, for unless the signs of the
times are deceptive the rank and file
of Democracy cannot be cOerced into
supporting ticket this year that can
not command their confidence and
respect and does not represent in the
main their view on questions of pub
lie policy.

PROHIBITION CONVENTION
A Call to the Prohibitionists of
Mississippi.

At a meeting held on the 18th inst,
the State Prohibition Executive Com
mittee instructed me, as its chairman,
to call State Convention at Jackson,
Miss, on the 2nd day of July
next.
The policy proper to be adopted by
the convention was discussed, aud
there was entire agreement in the
opinion that the time has come when
we should make toward movement.
Local option has accomplished its
mission. 1t was never intended to be
the goal of our efforts. IL has secur-
ed a general agitation of the temper
ance question, and through this agita-
ton the public mind has been educa-
ted to u clearer perception of the
enormities of the liquor traffic and a
better understanding of the principles
involved in prOhibitory legislation.
Through its fundamentally a very
large area has been redeemed from the
curse of the open dram shop, and
whenever this has been done, the
benefcent results of prohibition have
been demonstrated on scale far sur
passing the expectations of its most
sagaciOus friends. The reverses we
have sustained in two or three counties
instead of weakening have actually
strengthened our cause. Every town
which having had prohibition has
gone back to license, high or low:
furnishes daily object lessons of in
finite value to our cause. We are far
stronger to-day in numbers, in in
fiuence and in resources than ever be-
fore. Step by step we have advanced
until to-day the prohibitionists con-
stitute very decided majority of the
white population of the State. A
forward movement therefore is called
for by the ''logic of events" There
is not only an expectation of it but a
clamor for it. What that forward
movement shall be will be determin-
ed by the people in convention as
sembled. This convention will. no
doubt, he the largest in our history.
Let the prohibitionists of the State,
regardless of religious creed or parti-
san utilization, "put their heads to-
gether" and send their very best men
to the convention. We hope every
county will be represented. "In a
multitude of cOunselors there is wis
DOM" and wisdom is needed in order
to give proper shape to the forward
movement which is inevitable.

that he had determined to select men
for territorial Offices from the Terri
tories themselves, whenever fit per.
sons can be found therein. "In
Alaska" continued the President,
there are no party organizations and
no public press, which makes it neces-
sary that the Governor should be a
man OF such nigh character as no, to
need such supervision as officials in
other Territories are subjected ,c
where there are political parties and
the printing press" He would en-
deavor for this particular Office to find
man who will not need any such
spur to his duty.

1T Is NOT SUCH A CALAMITY,
AFTER ALL!

Justice Berry's decision, which was
ordered for the TINES by Arthur
Brown, has not been received, Clerk
Hays not seeming to be IN any par.
aicular hurry about the matter. We
cannot, therefore, pronounce upon the
points made in his decision. But the
bill is before US; and that is suffi-
cieptly explicit. 1t does not make
any provision to pay the county in
debtedness with the exception of the
issuing Of warrants which, as before
stated in this paper, may not be worth
the paper upon which they will be
printed. Neither does it make any
provision about the institution Of
suits pending or to be pending; nor
does it legislate out of Office the
justices, constables, and other off,
cials elected by the people for the
precincts OF Alturas now included 10
the new counties. All these defects
in the law will cause well-nigh end
less, though petty, litigation which
will prove very burdcnsome to the
taxpayers in the three counties.
Alturss has, however, the best Of il.
Her taxable property will probably
not exceed *750,OO0 in value. This
will, of course, DO too little to sup.
port county government upon; and
she may be compelled to default in
paying the principal aud interest OF
the debt. This will bring the bond
holders into the field. and thus relieve
Alturas Of the necessity of applying
to the courts TO compel the seeded
portion to pay their proportion OF the
Indebtedness.
II, as above stated, it is found that
the people of Alturas cannot afford
20 maintain a county organization,
they can apply to Congress, at its
next session, to be annexed to Logan
county. This might involve the loss
OF the county seat. but as we have
already shown, the distinction is not
nearly rs remunerative as most peo-
pie suppose. Besides, there will be
an election to decide upon the loca
ton of the county seat, next year,
and Haley would stand as good a
show as Bellevue or Shoshone.
