Right Will Win.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Brookhaven LEADER, has entered
upon its eighth year, full of hope and
vigor. There is not paper i'll this
State that can show record of seven
years of greater unostentatious use
fulness, get up and get there, and
staying qualities.
Seven years ago editor Hobbs
launched the LEADER on the sea of
journalism with his own hand of con-
victi0n on the pilot wheel. AT the
mast head he placed a double-edged
sword, which has dissected the liquor
traffic right and left, through and
through. The LEADERS, war on the
saloons has been persistent, open,
manly, and now there is not saloon
south of Jackson on the Illinois Cen
trail railroad, nor is there saloon in
any county adjoining Lincoln. This
is success to be very proud of. The
LEADER was the first secular paper
in this State, to come squarely out
for prohibition, and it has never pub
lished saloon advertisement.
That great, soulless, gambling,
swindling machine, the Louisiana
Lottery, has never been able to buy
an inch of space in the LEADER to ad-
vertise itself. The Leader has stead
tasty declined to weigh money
against the public good, and for this
reason some newspaper men and
others, to whom such proceedings
were stranger than fiction, predicted
its early failure. Papers have come
and papers have gone from Broohav-
en- during the past seven years, but
the Leader is there yet, stronger fl
nancially and in the confidence of
the people, each succeeding year,
brighter and better every way.
Thus it is demonstrated, RIGHT
WILL WIN. 1t pays paper as it does
an individual, to do right. Because
of it's ability, and answering fidelity
to justice, the Leader has been more
largely quoted from by papers out
side the State than perhaps any pa
per in this State.
Its invincible presentations of the
infamies of the penitentiary leasing
system, have been widely copied and
and uniformly commended by papers
in other States.
All who are coming money out of
the woes of the barbarOus leasing
system, thoroughly despise the Brook
haven Leader, but all good citizens
love it for the enemies it has made.
Long live the Leader, to do battle for
the right.-Magnolia Gazette.

-. S. f., Jr.," the Memphis Com
mercial's correspondent, seems to be
troubled about the activity of the
leading Prohibitionists in the matter
of the Constitutional Convention. The
answer the Commercial makes
this correspondent is well worth read
ing and being wisely considered. 1t
says:
"The ProhibitiOnists are free men,
and if they can secure an influential
representation IN the Convention, so
much the better for them and
their cause. The race for the Con-
vention is free to all, to men Of all
parties, of all races and of all shades
Of opinion. Men like Gambrell of
Meridian and Gambrell of Brookhav-
en- would honor the Convention by oc-
eupying seats in it. However Jealous
or overzealons they may appear to be,
they are good men enlisted in good
cause. They are men of high Chris
tain character, with a purpose solely
and altogether for the public good,
and are not only 10 be respected, but
applauded. The Commercial does
not believe in prohibition as u RENE
DIV. butt none the less honors the zeal
of those who do"

Last summer when Col. Heming-

get the nomination for Treasurer for
a fifth time and ms partisans were
all but claiming that he WAS the only
man in the State honest and compe-

The Clarion Ledger and MISSISSIPPI
plan are making it warm for the
Jackson gamblers, and say they must
so. That's commendablc, but these
esteemed journals would have good
deal more elbow room for fighting
the jackson gamblers if they would
leave ont of their columns the adver-
tisement OF that huge gambling con-
eern, the Louisiana Lottery, which
is doing more to promote the spirit of
gambling in the country than all the
card players combined. Don't strain

Attorney General Miller has pro-
mulgated the following official opinion
as to the issuance of school warrants
under existing laws:
JACKSON, Miss, March IL, 1890.
s. II. Kirkland, Co. Supi. of Ed:
Dear Sir Moneys collected for
schools during any scholastic year are
subject to use only in the support OF
schools for that year (scholastic) only,
and cannot be used to pay OutstaUd-
ing warrants of pervious years. The
excess alone can be so used. In issu-
ing pay certificates, therefore you
have the right to treat this money as
being in the hands of the Treasurer,
and so long as you do not exceed the
amount of such receipt you are with
in the law.

There is Joy in the Democratic camp.
A slight technical informalty in the
proceedings prior to election has been
discovered in Tom Reeds district. The
Saco board of aldermen did not hold a
meeting between Aug. II and IS to re-
wise the checklists according to the
requirements of the statutes. The
Saco officials admit their error; though
they claim that all other requirements
relating TO the election have been full
filed. The Biddeford aldermen who
were recently arrested and arraigned in
the United States District court on a
charge Of neglect of duty look upon
the Saco aldermen's neglect as parallel
case. Leading Biddeford Democrats
are anxious to push the matter, and 1t
IS probable that arrest of the Saco al
dermen VIII occur within a few days.
Democrats claim that the Saco alder
mems error will invahdate the election,
and if the district gives a majority to
Congressman Reed his election Will be
contested.
This looks very fine, but who will
make the contest? Not the Democratic
candidate surely, for his title would be
no better than Reeds. What good
would come of declaring the election
void2 Alta special election Reed would
he reelected aud sent back. But the
next House Viii be Republican, and
possessed of too much sense to magnify
trlfies into essentials.
