Joining the Combine.

Some of the politicians and news
papers of this State have made great
pretense of being friends of the far
mers and the bitter enemies of all
kinds of trusts; yet they are even now
making common cause with the great
Whisky Trust and combine of the
North and West, the most Unsuitable
and constituencies of them all, in its
effort to defeat constitutional PrOhibi-
ton and fasten the liquor traffic on
Mississippi for all time. This heart
less Whisky Trust will join hands
with every other evil combination
seeking to bleed the people, and we
warn the farmers of the State and all
other good citizens to beware of being
misled on this subject, and send only
those men to the constitutional con-
vention who have the courage of their
convictions on all questions, and are
beyond the corrupting power of gold
and political and corporate infiu-
ences.

An "oririnal Prohibitionist."

We published elsewhere dispatch from Jack
son stating that an effort VIII likely De made 70
engraft Prohibition clause In the Cons.ltunon 20
prohibitionists expect to succeed In such an efort
they viii be surely OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Democrat.
The Democrat is edited by one of the
original Prohibitionists of the State. There
is much opposition to the proposition to
engraft prohibition in the new Constltn-
tom Clarion Ledger.
Mr.. Smith, the editor of the Green
Vile Democrat, is a nice and clever
gentleman, but if he ia "One of the
original ProhibitiOnists of the State"
he must be of very "original" kind
indeed.
Certain it is, that Mr.. Smiths old
paper, the Ripley Sentinel, opposed
Prohibition in the local option contest
in Tippah county two or three years
ago, though it did it in a very gen
teel way, and it is equally certain that
Mr.. Smith was never a member of a
State Prohibition Convention, which
bodies always define the policy of
Prohibitionists.
1t is expected, as matter of course,
that there will be "much opposition
to the proposition to engraft Prohibi-
ton in the new Constitution" but
very little of it, comparatively, will
come from true Prohibitionists.

New Orleans Cut Off.

Brookhaven has been cut Off from
direct railroad communication with
New Orleans ever since last Sunday.
On that day the Mississippi river water
from the Mia Crevasse reached and
submerged the track between Poncha-
toula and Manchac, and cut off all fur
Their passage. Since, trains have run
only to and from Hammond on the
north.
The railroad company is making
every effort to close the break, but as
the current is very swift and the track
washed up in several places, the effort
seems hopeless one. The last train
that attempted to pass was through
freight coming from New Orleans, and
it ran into the water until it put out
the fire in the engine and then it stuck,
the train men having to wade out.
There is such tangle and wilderness
of trees, vines and brush between
Manschac and the break, passengers
cannot even be transferred by boats.
The break was an entirely unlocked
for one, and it will entail heavy loss
on both the railroad and New Orleans,
besides proving great inconvenience
to the travelling public.

DIED.

On March the 3Oth, 1890, JAMES l.. r.
CRIsCoE, son of Robert Criscoe, of Lin.
coin county, Mississippi.
Brother Jimmie, as he was Familiarity
called, was about 30 years old. He was
baptized on profession of faith in Christ
in September, 1882, and lived up to the
rules of his profession. The writer of this
sketch visited HIM in his home, often no.
ticed him in the honse of God, and can
mite with the many friends that said on
the day of his burial a good citizen, a
true neighbor, kind aud loving son,
one of the best of husbands, pious and
tender parent, and devoted christian will
be missed from Antioch church and neigh
borhood.
His pleasant manners were very impress
sive. widow, six children, father,
mother, three sisters, aud many friends
mourn his loss, to whom we will say,
weep not without hope (for "Blesed are
tho dead that die in the Lord''); but serve
the God of brother Jimmie, live the life
he lived, bow in humble submission to
the will of God, and after death yon will
meet him in Heaven.
Servant of God well done,
Rest from thy loved employ,
The battle fought, the victory won.

The Wall of an Old Granny.

The little narrow contractlOnlSt that
edits the BrOokhaven GrOwler, mis-
named the LEADER, seems to think 1T
his appointed duty to lecture the
Clarion Ledger. BY what author
ity this Paul Pry crank assumes to act
as god father to Il paper ten times the
age of his own bantling, is not shown.
The Clarion-Ledger wants none of
his advice, and is not willing to seek
wisdom at the foot of this self-sup-
posed Gamaliel.- Clarion Ledger.
AS is we'll known, the LEADER has
OIL various occasions referred to the
fact that the Clarion Ledger runs an
advertisement of that stupendous
gambling machine and subsidizer OF the
press, the Louisiana State Lottery.
and this Notwithstanding the fact that
it is the official journal of Mississippi,
and that the lottery business is inter
dicted and forbidden both by the Con
stitution and statute laws of the State.
If the C. l.. has any good or reasona-
BILE argument in defense of its position
it is to be regretted that it does not
offer it in a dignified, manly sort OF
way, instead of lodging the issue and
replying as it does above, like petu-
liant old granny. This may be ac-
counted for, however, by its superior
age-its dOtage, as it were.
AS for "cranks," the c. l.. editor is
respectfully reminded that cranks are
things that turn something, but vener-
able newspaper nonenties never do.

The action of the County Democrat
ic Executive Committee in deciding
on primary election to nominate DEL
egates to the Constitutional COnven-
ton, and restricting said primary to
Democrats, will be heartily approved
by the county Democracy. The pri-
mary will be held June 10th, butlittle
more than month and half off.
Now let the people cast about and
prepare to select two of their very wis
est, most trustworthy and incorrupt-
ible men, and when the nominations
have been made, let all support the
choice of the majority as a unit.

Need Light.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Memphis Daily Commercial, which
seems given to declaring Prohibition
failure in Maine, Kansas and Iowa,
should not accept all on that subject
it gathers from the liquor papers and
politicians who have an interest to
serve in misrepresenting the truth.
The New York Voice would furnish
the Commercial and other newspapers
which wish to be fair on this subject,
much needed light. Harry p. Crow
ell, the secretary and general mana
ger of the liquor dealers campaign
against constitutional prohibition In
PENNSYLVANIA last year, has this to
say of the Voice: 81 tell you, that
Voice is holy terror and hell-rat-
tier. I take 1t and get more informa-
ton from it on this question than
from all other sources put together,
for what that paper does not get hold
of is not worth knowing"
And not only the Commercial editor,
but every other newspaper man in
the country who honestly wants to
learn the facts about Prohibition and
the methods of the liquor men, should
read the Voice regularly, even though
he has to subscribe and pay for it.

Wilkinson and Amite, has been fire.
quently mentioned as delegate from
the State-at-large to the COnstitu-
tionar Convention. There are IA dele
gates to be nominated from the State

has served two terms in the Lower
House and one in the Senate, and as
an intelligent, broad minded, indus
trious, conscientious and faithful SER
want of the people, who scorns the

col. Jones favors the submission of the

ification, but the highest compliment
we can pay him is to say that if the
convention was composed only of such
clear headed, conscientious, we'll

MEXICO CITY.
An Interesting Letter From Rev,
j. NJ. wcems.
EprToR BRooKHAvEN LEADER /:

EDITOR BRooKHAvEN LEADER:
The last period of the XIV Congress
of the Republic of Mexico was formal
~ opened on the night Of the LIST, 10y
President Diaz reading to the assem-
bly, of Deputies aud Senators his mes
sage. The message is stately and
dignified paper, and shows the head
of state is man worthy the position,
and of the confidence of other nations.
No one, who ever saw and conversed
with him, could fail tn be impressed
with the idea that natures Great
Architect had stamped him with the
mark of destiny, and that to incroach
| his rights is to stir u storm. y few
days ago some Of us had occasion tn
| interview him on matters of interest
to our soiourn in this country, and
the ease and dignity with which he
discussed the minutest details of the
matters in hand, showed he was a
lover and a master of MexicO's inter
ests.
Aftera grateful acknowledgement of
the fact that all foreign relations are
tranquil and friendly, President Diaz
assured Congress and the nation that
all possible dangers of a misunder-
standing with the American Gov
eminent growing out of the re-
moval of the Geronimo band of In
dams to n point dangerous to the
peace and safety of Mexico; and
of the foolish talk about the
Lower California annexation, had
passed away by the prompt and hon
orable action of the United States
Government. He then spoke of the
International and of the Internation-
al Maritime Congresscs-in both OF
which Mexico is represented, and eX-
pressed the hope that they might re-
suit for the peace, harmony and pro-
gress of the New World. TO us who
are here and witness the effect of
things the fact of the tariff is far
stranger than fiction. a friend of
mine once said to me, the American
people demand to be humbugged, and
the man who will most effectually do
that will most certainly succeed. |
could not believe it then, but now L
must accept it as true; for while they
are protecting infant (P industries
England and Germany are possessing
the land at their doors. Why should
these countries supply the demands of
Mexico? Rather than lose the trade
of the world and continue to Cypress
the nation, would it not be better to
nail the infant up in box and feed it
with bottle? 1t seems to me di-
rect tax to support infants would be
preferable to forcing the whole ma
ton to spend all its time and money
feeding and clothing them.
In postal matters, President Diaz
says: "The post-office receipts are
augmenting. In the past year they
were over $S94,00 showing an in
crease of 10 per cent over those OF
the former year, and so per cent over
the receipts of the two last years in
which the high postal tariff was in
force" So you see actual experience
shows that the best way to take care
of an infant is to give it plenty of
room to grow and fresh air to breathe.
But this letter is growing too long,
and | must close. Kind regards to
all friends: Yours truly,
j. NJ. WEEMs.
