Ex-GOv. Acorn OH SambO.

Talking about the political situa
lion in the South and the position
taken by President Harrison during Il
late visit to Washington, Tx Gov. AL
corn, of this State, said: 81 wish him
success, but he will not be able to
build up a white party in the South.
1t is born and bred essentially Demo
cratic and cannot be changed from
without. The Republican party miss
ed it's opportunity at the close of the
war and in the succeeding years. If it
had chosen Il wise policy then it
would have divided the South. When
| was elected Governor of Mississippi
in 1869 there was a large white vote
cast for me, and when Ames defeated
me in 1873 ! received $4,000 more
white votes than he did. He was a
rpet-baggcf ana the white people
wouldn't have him and overthrow his
administration. If Grant had sus-
tanned me at the time of my election,
there would have been white Re
publican patty which could have held
the State. The Southern people will
not have negro rule. The negro is
not white man with black skin.
He is different race. He is barba
ran, and barbarians cannot rule civ
ilizcd people. His head is covered
with wool, he is a sheep. The white
man has straight hair like lion. The
negro is an infant. He has the fiat
nose, the retreating chin, the protrud
ing lips of an infant. 1t will take
centuries Of development TO thor
oughly fit him for civilization. 1t is a
racial difference and the strong race
will rule"

Gov. Stone as He is at Home.

y correspondent of the Southern
Baptist Record, writing from 1uka,
says:
This, too,i the home of our eomrade
in arms and personal friend, ex-Gov.
j. NJ. Stone, than whom Mississippi
never had better Chief Executive.
We found him hard at work doing any
thing that comes in the way with hard
hands and sun Drowned face. He says
there are too many people trying to
live without work, and Il lady said,
"Gov. Stone sets the young men Il no
BILE example of industry and economy"
We could but think how different from
that horde of public men; who, when
no longer in Office, linger around
political centres trying to pick upa liv-
ing without honest toll. IIOnored in
war for his SPLENDID courage and ex-
cellent judgment, honored in peace
by his people with the highest trust
in their State, and honored in Office for
IN administration, clean, honest,
sensible and successful, J. NJ. Stone
is to be more honored for the example
he sets before his fellow citizens as an
industrious citizen, earning "A living
by the sweat of his face. AS we saw
him with common fatigue suit on,
we thought of some men who have
gone into Office poor and come out
wearing diamonds.

Major. Ethel Barksdalc, the next
Governor of Mississippi, passed
through 7azoo City Saturday OH his
way to jackson from his plantation
in the lower end of the county. Maj.
Barksdale has not only devoted much
of his time to elevating and assist
ing the people of the State i'll pOliti-
cal affairs, but has also proved him
self an excellent planter. He has the
interest of the farmer, and profession
nj men, mechanics and all at heart,
and if made Governor he will be of
the people, and for the people.-Ta-
200 Herald.
Major Bafkstlale has for great
many years owned plantation and
had farming interests i'll Rankin
county, near jackson, but it is as a
politician and editor, rather than as Il
farmer, that he is known to The pub
lie, hence the impression which has
generally obtained that he is only a
farmer" in name. He was among
the first to join the old grange organ
ization. and as far az we know, has
TO other source of revenue at present
than that derived from his farm.
This much in fairness and Justice,
though the LEADER is not committed
to his present candidacy.

Cruelty to Animals.

Anyone who shall cruelty beat
abuse, starve, torture or purpOsely
injhre any horse, OK or any other ami
NAL, belonging to himself or another.
shall be punished by fine not exceed
ing three hundred dollars or by i'm
prisOnment in the county Jail, not ex-
ceeding six months, or by both sucl
fines and Imprisonment. Page 1884,
chap. T,-sec. 291S, code 1886.
Having been daily reminded by
personal observation of the viola
ton of the law regarding cruelty to
auimals, we publish verbatim the law
as it appears upon our statute book.
There is not day but what this
law is violated in some form, in the
very heart of our town, and we would
suggest that our town officials should
pay attention to this matter and
bring the cruel perpetrators to a
speedy retributiOn.-W essOn Mirror.

tpr. j. IS. Goss Acquitted.

The trial of DR.. J. J. Goss, charged
with being the prime instigator of the
murder of Felix ii. Varnado of osyka
on tae 22nd of last November, ended
IT Magnolia last Friday in the trium-
plant acquitial of the accused.
After reviewing all of the testimo-
ny ia the ease, We are persuaded that
the verdict was just one and that
Dir. Goss was maSe the victim of n
foul conspiracy on the part of W. f.
Rails and his partisans. 1t was known
to Rials and others that unfriendly re
lations existed between GOss and Var
nadn. and when Narnado was assaSsi
mated aud Rails and the negro Shcri-
dan were unprecedented as the murder
ers. the thought of duplicating Goss
seem to nave been seized upon BY Kials
to vindica*e himself ~ ut least to pallI-
ate his own guilt, and hence lie and
all those he could influence gave their
testimony with this end in view. 1t
was shown br the defence on unim
peached testimony that Rails had even
approached fellow prisoners in Jail 50
get them to swear falsely against
Co.'S, whom he acknowledged was in
nocent, in order, as he explained, that
it might go lighter with him and Sher-
idsln. The State failed to establish
by any witness worthy of belief that
Goss was in any way connected with
the murder, and the story that GOss
had an understanding with Rails and
the negro that they We're to do the
killing and he woald furnish the
money, fell to the ground.
At the time of Narnados murder
Dir. Goss was Mayer Of Osyka, editor
of the Osyka Two States, engaged i'll
the drug and general merchandise
business and serving two churches as
pastor, and owing to his high standing
in that community, the charge that
he was implicated in the terrible
crime came npor the public like n
thunder clap from IA cloudless sky. 1t
is therefore doubly gratifying to the
friends of right and justice that the
black conspiracy which sought to de-
stroy him has been exposed and
thwarted, and he indicated and pro-
nounced met guilty" by an impartial
jury of his county men.
The Brookhaven leader., 1889-05-09
Wise Words Bravely Spoken.

As Democrats and believing the
principles of Democracy 10 be indis-
soluble, we yet claim that ISOLATION
of the race question in the South is
more to he desired than aught else ,
and that until we reach such a con-
summation our Democracy is of
little account.
We speculate and theorize, yet take
no step forward, agree on no plan of
action, but like ar army without a
leader. or counsel, we huddle together
a solid Soutl, it is true. awaiting the
renewed assault of the enemy, but
make no response to the flag of truce
stiu tluttcring.
The times demand more Of patri-
otism than it does of party, an az
aressive patriotism on the part of the
South; leading out partriotism not
by way Of accepting The protective
tariff issue or any other party issue,
but by the common origin OF Anglo
Saxon blood, by the understanding
of Justice and right between brothers
of the same race and country, by our
common nationality and the necessity
of perpetuating the principles of a
Republican form of government.
We believe the time is opportune
when united and wise movement on
the part of the South will meet with
the approval Of the nation and the
race problem will be forever set
tied.
The duty of the hour requires more
of patriotism than of party.-Ndtehe:
democrat.

The YazoO City Herald publishes a

The YazoO City Herald publishes a
comparative statement of delinquen-
cies on account of poll tax in YazOO
county in 1887 and 1888.
In the former year, ont of 1886
polls assessed, 1929 were reported as
delinquent; this year, ont of $3.50
polls assessed, only 2,077 were de-
linquent.
Under the new law the collections
of poll tax in the various COMMITTEES,
has been greater than ever before
and the school fund of 1889 will be
immensely benefited by the change.

respondent. If he will consent to the
use of his name as a candidate, we

Hon. NJ. NJ. Evans, of Moss Point, is
announced as candidate for Lieut..
Governor. We can unhesitatingly
say that no purer man, no better citi-
zen, no more deserving Democrat, is
to be found within the broad borders
of Mississippi than Mat NJ. Evans.
Broad minded and progressive, he is
not lacking in convictions upon any
of the issues of the hour, but to their
possession adds the most unfaltering
courage of their advocacy. Should
Mr.. Evans be called to preside over
the State Senate, the character given
by him to its deliberations, would
abhndantly prove the wisdom of his
seleetion.-New Mississippian.

BARKSDALE vs.. DEMOC-

State Convention Audit and
Settle IL.

our very highly esteemed contcm
porary. the Ea2oo Sentinel, contain
ed IA lengthy and wcli-wFittcn, cdito-
rial. a short time since, which haa
for its text the indebtedness OF the
Democratic party to the Hon. Ethel
Barksdale for services rendered,
etc.
The Sentinel cites the cases of La.
mar, Walthall, George and Lowry
and says that those gentlemen have
all been rewarded by the party foF
their services, but that Maj. Banks
dale has not been; that there il still
a very large balance due him 10y the
Democratic party of the State Of Mis-
sissippi for work done and performed
in This behalf.
We are inclined to honestly differ
with our brother on this question.
We are perfectly willing to admit
that Major Barksdale has done all
that is claimed for him by his nd
vocate; and that he is willing and
anxious to still serve his party, in II
big fat office. But in the meantime,
we wish to Ale a plea of confession
and avoidance. In other words, the
Democratic party has set-off to
bring against Major Barksdale, some
what a. follows:
To half interest in Office of State
Printer, Syears at 81, 500 per an
mum .................. S2u,OUO
To four years m Congress, at S.
900 per annum. ............... 2o,OuO
Total. ..........t'. .... .$4o,O eO
Now, when the State Convention
meets in July next, we think that
Major Barks6ale's agents should
bring in their bill of particulars, stat
ing just exactly how much they
claim to he still due himJ and, if after
careful examination of the ac
counts. the convention finds the party
stiH indebted to plaintiff, let the
jury so declare and find accord
ingly.
Our koBest opinion, however, is that
the boot is on the other foot. That the
Indebtedness is all the other way. We
have a high regard for Major Ranks
dale; and we regard him as an able
man and true Democrat; but we do
not think he is the man TO. Cover
nor.-GrenTdo Gazette.
TO this might very properly he
added years salary as Confederate
congressman at about S. 900 per year,
amounting to something near $4,000,
making a grand total of about $780,
0OO.-New MisSissppidn.
And the people at large, who are
always just, may very properly enter
two more items to offset Maj. Banks
da1e's claim, viz: Profits received
from AIN interest in the Pilot printing
concern while Ames and his horde of
negroes ran the State. Say $4,000,
also profits as Republicans city Frin<
ter, at jackson for ten years at
say $3.50 per year, making $500. Now
put this with the above and we shave
$72, 800. 1t is thus seen that the peo-
pie, both Democrats and Republicans,
have been paying on the supposed
debt for 10! these many years, and if
We can find oft What il WAS originally
we would have hope of speedy set
Element.
1t is Important that this claim be
adjusted, for Mississippians feel tie
need of electing II Governor in the in
terest of the State and not in the in
tcrest of Il man.
