Two Issues.

Two Issues.
In consequence Of the fact
that the work of the Consti-
tutional Convention was so com
prchens,ve and thorough and set
tied so many nj the old issues that
formerly figured in legislative cam
paigus. Int two questions are likely
to enlri prominently into the choice
of members of the Legislature this
fall. What the people will want to
know of the candidate for legislative
houers this year of our Lord will be-
how does he stand on Prohibition. and
what sort of men does he favor for the
United States Senate to succeed
GeaFgc aud Walthall :
The LEADER pointed out last week
that the next Legislature will have
complete jurisdiction over the liquor
question. To the extent that it may
PASS Il prohi6itory statute for the en-
tire State. change or repeal all license,
local option and five mile laws. or if
the licensing of saloons he continued.
make amy disposition it sees fit of the
license money. No Prohibitionist can
afford 10 rest i'll faucied security and
console himself with the reflection
that the liquor men do not know this.
Thel are already fully alive to the
situation and will do their utmost to
elect Legislature that will zealously
protect their interests. Nothing else
but the fight made for Constitutional
Prohibition, made it possible to de-
feat the effort Of the liquor men to
have the license money recognized in
the new Constitution and made part
of the levce and county funds where
collected, and II desperate effort will
hc made to defeat Prohibition and ac-
compli>h that object through the next
Legislature, or probably to continue
this blood money as part of the
school fund.
The choice of two United States
Senators for the full term is an unusu-
al occurrence, and pregnant with the
most important and far reaching con
sequences. This was made necessary,
under the L. s. statute, by provi-
sion OF the new Constitution. placing
regular sessions of the Legislature
four Years apart. The successor OF
senator George is To be chosen more
than a year before his term begins,
and the successor of Senator Walthall
more than four years. In other words,
the term of the successor of our senior
Senator will begin March 4, 1898, and
end March i, 1899, and the term of the
successor of Senator Walthall will be-
gin March 4, 1895, and end March 4,
1901. Seven years from the date OF
election to end of term in one ease,
nine years in the other. What mighty
issues involving the welfare of the
people may come up for arbitrament
in these years, Omniscience alone
can fOresec.
1t therefore behooves the people,
more than ever, to be careful and sup
port no man for this important trust
who does not posses the statesman
ship to comprehend the country s
needs and the patriotism and courage
to act out his convictions of duty, re-

Brandon is a prohibition town, but
the last Grand Jury found 50 indict-
ments for unlawful retailing.-Bram-
don Republican.
Considering the evil influence of
Col. Frantzy, who has never had a
friendly word for the law or it's en-
forcement, that is not bad showing
at all. The last grand jury of Adams
county indicted every saloon keeper
of Natchez for violating the license
law and it is a common thing for the
Warren county grand jury to return
from so to 100 indictments for liquor
selling in violation of the license law.

Clark did not take the trail till Friday last, four days afterwards. He was csmped wlth his command in Rucker canyon and the fTe rEsrTSiisT=Ts paced close to nim on their way down to Sonora where they are now. Lieut.. Clark followed them a distance of eighteen miles and then returned. His scouts had just return cd from Bowie where they had been to get their pay. The tracks of three Indians were seen at Smiths house, while in the party which left the trail which Clark followed there were five tracks. It is not true that Lieut.. Clark is to be court martialed for fol- lowing the trail.

South African Gold,

A South African dispatch says there is an enormous increase in the output of gold at Johannesburg, and that the field there promises Co be the richest in the world. The Ma shonaIand pros pectors report that la that remote part of Africa, until recently almost unknown to Europeans, they have found evidence of former occupation by 6 large mining population, as shown by the remains of extensive alluyial workings and shafts and exea- vations foE small, rich leads, the quartz from which has been ground on large slabs of granite. The round stones used as crushing rollers lie about in hundreds, partially hidden by accumulated soil and tropical under growth.

Clarence Coffman son oi B. s. Golf.
 man, met with serious and painful accident last night which will prob al,ly cost him his eye sight and eenfine him to the house for a long time. Owing to the fact that he was alone at the time the accident occurred no one has been able to tell precisely how the accident occurred. From the state sssezt Of She unfortunate young man on his way down town it appears that he and Mccormick had concluded to prospect piece of ground on the sur face in the vicinity of the Rattle Snake claim. Clarence was the night watch man of the Watervaie Co.'S. mines, and Mccormick the day watch and the work not interfering with their duties they each worked on the pros Pect during watching hours. Clarence had put in a hole as usual and was tamPing the powder when it went of the whole charge taking effect in his face and head completely bIinding him When Mccormick went to the mine this morning to relieve him he found him suffering terrible agony. A carriage was at once summoned and he was brought immediately to town where Dr. GoodfelloW was summoned and did all in his power for the young man. l. is possible that one eye may be saved but the other is impaired to such an extent that little hope is ex- pressed oi saving the sight.
