We should think Sir Richard Webster. Of all
men, would beware how he accused Mr.. Parnell
Of making grave accusations without producing
any evidence in support Of them Sir Richard,
as counsel for The Times"-and perhaps for
the Government aso-lnade against Mr.. Parneu
accusations which were about as grave as words
could frame, and when he found himself wholly
unable to prove a single one OF them, when he
found that the evidence he relied upon was
forgery as palpable as il was Shameless he apol-
ogizcd" by saying in effect that, while his EVIL
dence was faulty his charges remained true
This sort Of conduct may I've all right in England
the fact that Sir Richard Webster continues
the chief law officer of the Government certainly
implies that it is-but in America it can only be
done at a price which is also a penalty. when
Mr. Smith wants somebody 10 attack Mr.. Parnell'
he should procure tongue less bliStered with
prejudice than Sir Richard WebSters.

Speaker Reed deserves the admiration OF the
peoplc lie has occupied during the last month
a. position Of great delicacy and responsibility
lie has been compelled to bear the full shock of
o. battle in which every Democratic force avail
able was directed at him personally, and as TO the
merits Of which every deceit Imaginable was
concoctcd 10 mislead the country. Mr.. Reed has
been standing for order and action and justice, as
against anarchy and obstruction and minority
control 1t is for this that he has been hooted
at. howled at and disgracefully insulted in the
House and shamelcssy lied about IN
nearly every Democratic sheet in the
whole land But with party in Congress sup
porting him devotedly and the common-sense OF
the Nation armyed on his side, he has won the
battle lie has shown splendid qualities OF
leadership coolness spirit tenacty, aertness' self
restraint and marvellous powers of attack In
the victory he has won the country takes great
satisfaction From that victory it will obtain
results most beneficial.

Mr. Cleveland thinks that Democratic campaign
literature is largely wasted through being dis
tributed without discrimination, farmers getting
what mechanics would like 10 read, and vice
versa. There may be something in this, but, after
all. the campaign documents which Democratic
voters are most interested in are the plain, ordi-
nary bank notes of commerce.. and so long as these
come to hand, they don't much care what goes
astray.

The "Hat Drummer" Como to
Grief.

The tramp printer, Donald S. Par
ker, as he now calls himself, takes
advantage of the columns of the Hat
tiesburg Democrat, to which he seems
So have free access, to deny, in terms
characteristic of thief and dead
beat, the statement, contained in a
recent issue of the journal, that he
was wanted in Tupelo for forgery,
committed under the name of Donald
s. Pump. The scamp has the audac-
ity 20 threaten us with q suit for libel.
but he is evidently very anxious for
an excuse to avoid carrying ont his
threat, as he says: 'If the editor of
the Journal will kindly make amends
for the wrong he has done me, / will
freely forgive him, as I bear malice
towards none, and am forgiving to n
fault, otherwise j am compelled to-
pursue the course already mapped
out" He also wrote on the margin
Of the Democrat rs follows:
StR-You have done great injustice to
me ana my famrly. kindly make amends
and will make II retraCtion. Will send
you my portrait by next mail.
j. S. PARKER,
So far are we from making amends
that we reiterate our former state
ment, and as evidence that we can
not be mistaken as to the rascaPs
identity, we are prepared to prove
that, since he has been at Hatties-
burg, he has inquired for and re-
ceived, from the post office, mail
matter addressed to Donald S. Pump.
If his portrait should come to hand,
we shall have it placed in the rogues'
gallery, where it properly belongs.
Our excuse for noticing such a char
acter is to expose his villainy and put
the public on guard against him.
Sheriff Oglesby, of this county, left
for Hattiesbarg, Tuesday evening, to
take charge of Parker, whose arrest
he had secured by telegraph, and the
fellow will be given chance to es-
tablish his innocence in more salts
factory manner than that afforded by
his clustering 6enial.-Tupelo Jonr-
nal.

The following crack of the liquor
dealers whip is fred at Senators
George, Walthall, Colquit, Call and
Pugh, by the Washington Sentinel,
one of the official organs of the liquor
dealers of America, because they
voted for Senator Wilson's bill to null
lily the late "original package" de-
cision of the Supreme Court:
"Those five Democrats win have to
seek quarters elsewhere, as the per
sonal liberty question is going to be
the grand Democratic raffying cry
for 1892"
If any Que thinks the saloon is not
in politics, let him be unaeceived. BY
the way, if Senators George, Walthal
and all others who stand with them
on this question are to be read out o.
the party by the whisky organs, there
won't be enough of the Democratic
party left in the South to elect {
President or anybody else.

Mr. Dodfis' Speech.

Hon. Geo. 8. Dodds made several
good points in his epcech last Satnr
,tay. The idea Of rotating the old
political stagers ont, seemed to strike
y poI.ah,r chord ia the hearts ot his
hearers. Amsng other things Mr'
] Dodds said that he was 80 years old
and yet, bpgiuaing hack two years
! before hs attained his majority, he
had never had al opportunity ct vot-
rag for any other Democrat for Con
Cress eNrcpt one or the other ei his
competitors. II they believed M re-
tating at all it was sFmpiy that
| they should take turn about and ro-
tate each ether out, aud give be'
young man % ebRnce. Mr.. Dodtss re
fcrred to the pcrpfeSing race question,
and we think expressed the correct
view. The Increased representation
the South has in Congress ana In the
electoral college based en the sup
pressed negro vote, furnished the
Moth with u real grievance. The
eeople of the South ale getting tired
of questionable methods of carrying
elections, and one of two things mast
follow: The Negro vote must We
counted, even if it has to finally come
through Federal supervision, 0r else
we must resort to q repeal ef the 18th
amendment and surrender our in
creased representation. He favored
the latter, and believed if the propo-
sitieu came in good faith from the
South first, it would he accepted by
the North as Il proper settlement OF
the vexed problem
Nv. nodds alSe declared that the
Late "oFiginal package" decision OF
the Supreme Court had made the Ii
quor question political one, and,
unlike his distinguished opponents,
he did not hesitate to declare his po-
sition on that subject. If elected to
Congress he should unhesitatingly
favor national legislation, placing
the exclusive control Of the liquor
traffic within the power of the States
SO that any State Or part of State
that desired to outlaw the saloon
might do so without outside interior
ence.
1t is needless to say that this part
of Mr.. Dodds' platform is heartily
approved in the Prohibition county of
Lincoln, and any candidate who oc
cupies a contrary position will stand
little chance of securing her vote in
the nominating convention.

The letter pablished to day from
Frra Douglas, the leading represen-
tatiye Of his race in America, lie full of
aound sense aud wholesome advice
II an the negroes were anywhere near
to Fred. Douglas in intelligence, there
would I've no hcsitancy on their part
about opposing the tiquor traffic
whenever opportunity offered. Our
cI,se rvation is, that the best and most
intelligent negroes are almost anani-
mou1ly opposed to the saleea. The
difficulty is, that this class is so few
in comparison with the great igno-
rant masses of the race, that the lat
Ger are lied to and manipulated ut
will by INSCRIPTIONS white men to
the injury of the highest interests of
both races.
Another thing worthy to be remem-
bered in this connection is this: The
intelligent and better class OF negroes
who favor prohibition are So few in
comparison to the whole, that they
are often regarded 10y the ignorant as
i'm certain sense traitors to their
race, and it requires even n greater
degree of moral courage for them to
face this ignorant prejudice, than is
required of the white leaders of Pro
hibition. TO their lasting honor be
it said we have never seen displayed
higher type of neral courage than
that shown 10y the JoIdans, Lewis
Oliver, Nathan jackson and few
;others of the best class of colored men
in this county during the local option
campaign, and it may be added that
the good results of Prohibition Nave
indicated their wisdom and self-sae-
ritice, even in the eyes of many
who then denounced them rs
false to their race, trying to bstray
them into new foym of slavery.
For time, at least, the great bafk
of the negro race will be unqualified
to decide by their votes a question SO
vitality affecting the moral and mate
rial interests of both races as does the
liquor question, just as they are un-
fitted for the wise and intelligent ex-
ereises of the elective franchise in the
domain of politics, and the sooner
this fact is recognized, the better il
will he for all concerned.

Unverified Prophecies.

Those who place the selling of Ii
quOr before everything else and who
predicted dire disaster to Yazoo City
should saloons be closed, have not had
their predictions verified. AS mat
ter of fact the town has prospered I'M
der prohibition as never before in its
history It's shipments of cotton alone
have almost doubled. There is now
under contract, to be completed this
summer, $4,000 in buildings and in
dustries.-Yas0O Sentinel.
In like manner the prophets of evil
have failed to see their predictions
verified here. Brookhaven has pros
pered under Prohibition as she had
not in years before. Many new resi-
dences have been built, various new
business enterprises started, and there
is not today vacant dwelling or bus
mess house of any kind in the town,
while the cotton receipts and sales of
merchandise for the last two years
are unprecedented.

Under the new revenue law a mer.
chant or vendor of merchandise locat-
ing after the time for assessing taxes,
Is to be assessed the regular ad valo-
rem tax assessed ON other property by
the tax collector when issuing his
privilege tax, the Sheriff to report
such assessment to the Clerk for entry
on roll. If the time for collecting
taxes has arrived the tax collector
is to collect when he assesses. Towns
are authorized to assess such persons
in like manner, but exemption from
taxes follows showing that capital
invested has been previously assessed
in State fer same year.
