Against the Federal Election Bill.
WASHINGTON, d. c., November II.
Senator Stewart has prepared a
speech against the Federal election
bill. If any disposition is shown to
take up this legislation he will open
the attack upon it. The Nevada Sem
ator was here during the reconstruc-
on period, and had a good deal to
do with the law making of that per-
iod. The fourteenth amendment was
dra eted by him, but he is very much
opposed to the pending force bill.

COUNTY PRISONERS.

The Convention has done well IN
abolishing the State convict-leasc
system. IL was no more than il ought
to have done; though none the less it
deserves the praise aud thanks of the
State for its action.
But the Convention must not think
that its work of prison reform is COM
pIctcd in Mississippi until thc.Present
system cf leasing county prisoners is
abolished.
Up to 1884, little was known Of the
horrible infamirs of the State convict
camps, and its revelations that year
made 10y Legislative investigation were
simply astounding.
There is little dodht that these
county convict or prison farms arc
full of abuses and brutaliticS. Judge
Calhoon. President of the Constitu-
tional Convention, said on the floor OF
the Convention during the debate or
Mr.. Deans Prison committee report
that he had heard and could vOucl
for the truth of reports of cruelties OF
these convict county farms that woult
fill the soul with horror.
Maj. Magruder has introduced or
offered II constitutional amendment
for the 'abOlishmput of this system u
leasing county prisoners after 1894
1t should he adopted by the Conven
ton. If it was wrong in the State t,
lease its coDvicts, it is equally wrons
to permit the counties to continue til,
infamous practice.

JOURNALISM.

The retiring editor of the Baton
Rouge Advocate, Col. Sambola Jones,
who is also retiring from journalism,
thus speaks of that profession which
should be elevated to the highest
plane of human effort
have often thought it strange that
we graduate men as doctors of medi-
cine, as theologians, artists, druggists
and lawyers, and require of them a
high grade of proficiency, comforting
degrees and high honors, but there
are no degrees given or license requir-
ed of the wielders of public opinion.
What a responsibility! What unceas-
ing need of clear heads and pure
hearts! Above all others, the editor
needs Il diploma showing proficiency
in literary achievements and GER
tificate Of good personal and moral
character.

Mississippi expended last year for
school purposes the sum of 81, III, i'll.
Of this amount there were paid in sal
aries to white teachers 1888, 400, to
colored teachers $341 900, the remain
der being appropriated to the cree
ton of school buildings and the pay
ment of incidental expenses. Of this
sum the State contributed $500, 900,
distributed pro rata among the coun-
ties according to the number of edu-
cable children therein.

THE COWARDICE or POLITI.
CLANS.

The cowardice Of public men in
dealing with vice has been strikingly
cNrmpliticd in reference t. the lottery
question. For years the lottery bus
mess has been Haunted in the faces Of
the people by the press of the state
aud the evil of lottery gambling made
thereby toa degree familiar and re-
spectacle; and though the Legislature
had ample power to prevent ncwspa
pCrs from advertising an evil that was
Inhibited Ivy the Constitution, lao leg
islatuTc ever had the courage to do
1t. The question was considered last
winter for the first time, and Gen.
Martin uf Adams got such Il bill
through the Senate near the close OF
the session, but it WIS pushed aside
in the House aud never acted on, he
cause of manifest fear of the mem
bers to- go on record on the subject.
However, since courageous and
rcsolutc warfare has been inauguratcd
against the lottery in Louisiana by
| the true men Of that State, and Cou-
grcSs has passed almost without dis
scnting voice Il rigid anti-lottery law
prescribing among other things
newspapers that advertise them, the
| Mississippi statesmen have grown as
! bold as lions. Last week our COnSti-
| tutional Convention that did not pos
scss the nerve to tackle the suffrage
question us its importance demands,
saloon Ia thousand times more hurt
full and demoralizing to society than
the lottery all at once became reck-
lcssly brave and jumped on the lot
terry with both feet by adopting the
following section without division:
No lottery shall ever be allowed or
be advertised by newspapers, or 9th
CrwiSe, or its tickets be sold in this
State, and the Legislature shall pro-
vide by law for the enforcement of
this provision, nor shall any lottery
heretofore authorized be permitted to
he drawn or it's tickets be sold.
It's fresh illustration of the old
provcrb, start n man or thing
down hill" etc.
Let the opponents of the liquor
traffic take fresh courage and renew
the fight. The saloon will be started
down hill before long, and then you
will observe every cowardly politician
in the State who is now uphOlding it
or lodging the question will either be
silent or ready to give it Il kick to
accelerate its speed to destruction.

MATTHEW'S NONINA TED.

The reorganization of the Republi-
cans i'll this county, as evidenced by
their proceedings in another column,
admonishes Democrats to arouse
themselves and not be caught nap
ping when the Congressional election
rolls around. At this writing (Wednes-
day evening" we are not advised as to
the action of the District Republican
Convention, but the Republicans will
no doubt have candidate and resort
to every subterfuge and trick known
to elect him.

lican Convention, receiving II votes

Editor Hobbs, of the BRooKHAvEN

that that section of the Franchise

ORA WING THE BUZZARDS.

Says the Clarion-Ledger of the
Goth: "The buzzardS are after some
body. This morning a great big brin-
die old fellow lit on the dome of the
capitol and sat there about Ten min
utes seemingly very much concerned
in the proceedings, until another one
swooped down, put him to flight, and
took his place on the cross. There he
sat, silently but intently viewing the
situation, whilst his mate circlcd
around the capitol for half IN hour,
and then both took their departure.
A similar incident occurred during the
sitting of the Convention in 1862"
The buzzards were no doubt attract
ed to the capitol this time by the car
rion odor arising from tiyblown sec
ton ).

Col. Ananias j. Frantzy is in a bad
streak of luck. Not long since an
irate citizen entered his Office, assault
ed the Colonel and demolished his
forms with "the iron transplanter,
and last week he was arrested and re-
quired to give a $500 bond to appear
at the next term of the United States
Court for violating the new anti-lOt-
terry law. AS Dan Loughby, Abe
Wenthal and A. Zolemski would say,
it looks like the liberty of the press
is about to be "drawn away" in the

ANYTHING BUT DISHONOR.

When the Constitutional COnven-
ton met, the people were prepared
and willing to submit to anything the
exigency of our situation demanded,
except dishonOr. They will never
quietly submit to that. They will
not hold their peace and see the fair
name of Mississippi stigmatized by
such transparent fraud as the
understanding clause of section 5.
Let it be expunged and the honor
and fair name of Mississippi and her
people preserved.
The Brookhaven leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1883-1891, 1890-10-09

Louisiana had 43 noble and daunt-
less sons in her last General Assem-
bly, whom the Lottery, with all it's
millions of money, it's subsidized press
and its vast political power, could
neither buy, bull-doze nor cajole.
Mark the contrast in Mississippi when
a worse than the lottery monster was
to be strangled. Out of 1873 favorite
sons who had been hOnored with a
great trust, only "a could be found
loyal and true, who scorned to grovel
in the dust and bow the knee to the
whisky Baal.

The LEADER publishes the article
on the elective franchise in full today
as amended and finally adopted. The
understanding" and interpretation
clauses of section have been almost
universally condemned, and two mem
bers of the Convention have given
notice that they will move to amend
the rules, SO these Objectionable fea-
lures may be reconsidered and
stricken out. 1t is earnestly hoped
the Convention will so act.

Was the lottery question an "issue''
in the last canvass? We have dis
tinct recollection that it was not as
much so as the saloon, yet the Consti-
tutional Convention last week adopt
ed an anti-lottery section with great
eclat. This was done, we presume,
upon the principle that the new
preacher was advised by a polite
brother not to preach against lying,
cheating, gambling, drunkenness,
adultery, ETC., for fear of giving Of
Tense to some of the respectable
church members" but to "give the
Jews hill because they didn't have
a friend in town.

When the anti-lottery section of
the new Constitution goes into effect,
the Times Democrat, Picayune and
other Louisiana papers that are now
publishing lottery editions and dis

dodge, as far as Mississippi is con-
