The Amended Demands.

The National Council at Ocala has
reaffirmed the demands of the st.
Louis meeting, with slight amend
ment, as follows:
/. We demand the abolition of ma
tional banks; we demand that the
government shall establish sub-trcas-
uries or Repositories in the several
States which shall loan money direct
to the people at a low rate of interest,
not tn exceed per cent per annum on
non perishable farm products and also
upon real estate, with proper limlta-
tons upon the quantity of land and
amount of money; we demand that
the amount of the circulating medium
he speedily increased to not less than
$50 per capita.
2. We demand that Congress shall
pass such laws as shall etfectually pre-
vent the dealing in futures on all agrl-
cultural and mechanical productions,
preserving Il stringent system of pro-
cedure i'm trials such as shall secure
the prompt conviction aud imposition
nf such penalties as shall secure the
most perfect compliance with the law.
3. We condemn the silver bill re-
Gently passed 10y Congress, and de
mand in lieu thereof the free and un-
limited coinage of silver.
!. We demand the passage of laws
prohibiting alien ownership of land,
and that Congress take prompt action
to devise some plan to obtain all lands
now owned by aliens and foreign syn
Dictates, and that all lands now held
Ivy railroads aud other corporations IN
excess of such us is actually used and
needed by them be reclaimed by the
government and held for actual set
tiers only.
5. Believing in the doctrine of equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none. we demand that our national
legislation shall be so framed in the
future as not to build up one industry
ut the expense of another. We fur
ther demand Il removal of the exist
ing heavy tariff tax from the ncceS-
Saries of life that the poor of Our land
must have. We further demand a
just and equitable system of gradual
ed tax on incomes. We believe that
the money of the country should he
kept as much as possible in the hands
of the people. and hence we demand
that all national and State revenues
shall he limited to the necessary cN-
penscs of the government economical
~ and honestly administered.
6. We demand the most rigid, hon
est and just State and national GOV
crnmental control and supervision of
the methods of public communication
and transportation, and if this con
troll and supervision do not remove the
abuse now existing we demand he
government ownership of such means
of communication and transportation.

Nobody Qualified.

The death of Hon. r. c. Patty,
causing "A vacancy in the chancery
clerks Office of NoXubce county,
brings up an interesting question in
connection with the same. The con
stitution provides that none but quail
flied electors shall be eligible to Office
and further provides that electors
shall bc registered four months before
any election.
There has been no registration of
voters since the adoption of the Con-
Stitution. 1t will he seen, therefore
that under these provisions, there be-
ing no qualified electors, there is no
person qualified to fill the office. The
Attorney General has replied rs fol-
lows to the queries proponndcd:
"lf the vacancy cannot be filled unit
der the statute it cannot be filled at
all. If there are no qualified electors
there is no person eligible to appoint
mcnt. Why cannot the deputy hold
it until there is Il new registration and
election under section APO of the
code? My own view is, registration
may proceed under the ordinance of
the convention. in relation to terms of
certain officers and the election be or
dered under the Dortch ordinance"

Death of Robert &. Patty.

In the death of Robt. G.. Patty,
which occurred at his home i'll NoXu
bee county on Dec. 81, Mississippi has
lost one of her best known, ost hon
ored and most useful sons.
During his short life, Mr.. Patty fill
ed many places of honor and trust,
aud all with distinguished ability and
fidelity. For IL Years he had been
Chancery Clerk of his county, and
was considered the best clerk i'll the
State. He presided over the Demo
cratic State Convention Of 1889 with
ii tact and ability never surpassed.
At the time of his death he was chair
man of the State Democratic EXecu-
tive Committee, Il member of the com
mission to investigate the accounts OF
State officers, Past Grand Master of
the odd Fellow and Masonic Bodies,
President of the State Farmers Al
lance and chairman of the National
Alliance Committee on Juris prudence.
He came within three votes of being
elected President of the late Consti
tutiunal Convention, and was after
wards made chairman of its principal
committpe-that on Franchise and
Apportionment. To his responsible
and exacting labors in that position,
which will remain an enduring mon
ument to his memory, is perhaps due
the cause of his death. He was COM
PEELED to go home, broken down in
health, before the Convention adj
journed. and grew gradually worse I'M
til death closed the scene. Above all,
Mr.. Patty was IL Christian gentleman,
generous, courteous and obliging to
all he met.
He was in the very prime of man
hood, being only A, and had he lived
there is no position in the gift of the
people to which he might not have
successfully aspired.

The Louisiana Lottery fight opened
in the courts at Baton Rouge on the
Both. When the mandamus to compel
the Secretary of State to promulgate
the Lottery amendment came up for
hearing. 1t will be remembered that
Gov. Nichols vetoed the amendment,
and it failed to pass over his veto in
the Senate by reason of the death of
one of the Lottery Senators. The
Lotteryites then took the position
that it was not necessary to have the
Governors approval to the amend
ment. The case will be carried to the
Supreme Court of the Uuited States,
and by the time a decision is reached
there the time set for the election on
the amendment will have expired.
The next Legislature will be elected
in April, 1892, and with the Lottery
as an Issue the anti-Lottery people
have no fear that the Legislature
elected will favor the Lottery.

The same laws apply to voters at

BY the section prescribing the quail

that leach clcctor must have paid on

the year in which he offers to vote. all
tdres Which may hare been legally re-
quired Of him, and which he has had
an opportunity of paying according
to law. for the trO preceding gears, y
etc. This will probably be held
to include municipal taxes as
we'll as the poll tax, and voters i'll all
incorporated towns should bear this
in mind and settle their municipal
taxes before February LIST.
Voters should he prepared to pro-
ducc their tax receipts when neceS-
sary to the registration officer, as well
as to "the officers holding the cleo

January, A. ID. 1892, every elector

able to understand the same when
read to him, or give d reasonable in
depreciation thereof A new registra-
ton shall be made before the next en-
suing election after these Qualitica-
tions are established.
In conclusion the LEADER will only
add that the foregoing review of the
Constitution and statutes was submit

Thompson, who was leading mem

The absurd story copied in the
Clarion-Lcdger from the New York
Sun that Hon. Frank Bnrkitt offered
to sell the Alliance secrets at Ocala
Florida to jackson daily newspaper
for 5000, bears all the marks of a
bungling falSehood on its very face.
1t is more transparent fraud than the
Richardson letter that the Clarion
Ledger published a few months ago
under such startling headlines, and
why that paper should have been tax
en- in by it after it's Richardson letter
experience, can only be accounted for
on the suppOsition that its editor was
blinded by his personal prejudice
against Frank Burkitt. 1t is reported
that Mr.. Burkitt will bring suit
against the C.-L. for libel, and if he
does, it looks like he will have strong
