poo.. SCANDAL.

The New York Herald says; A very
ugly story was recently told in Wash
ington, connecting certain members OF
the House with q silver pool. IL was
scandslously charged that they were
financially interested in the price OF
bullion, and that their profits would de-
pend on the way they voted. 1t was
also scandalously charged that after they
had voted the price Of silver went up
and they raked in a goodly pile. The
fair fame Of our representatives was in
peril, but we supposed they would in
stantly defy their accusers and vindicste
themselves. Mr.. Dockery offered a res
olution which called for IN investigation.
It is being smothered in committee.
Speaker Reed is chairman Of that com
mittee, and he has been so dilatory that
we can't help suspecting that for some
reason he wants to protect the guilty
parties. Why does he hesitate! II he
is not afraid Of consequences. he can
afford to be bold. II he is afraid Of
them, that is itself a humiliating confess
sion. As members Of both parties are
involved in this miserable affair we hope
that some Democrat will find means to
bring the subject before q committee Of
the whole House. Let nothing be CON
cealed. Get to the bottom Of the matter,
gentlemen. II any Democrat has dirty
fingers turn the rascal out; if any Re-
publican is in the same condition treat
him to the same punishment. When
the peoples representatives are too cow
ardly to repel an accusation Of that kind
IL ia full time TO adjourn.

III INDIAN PROBLEM.

The Salt Lake Tribune sums up the
situation as follows: 1t does not matter
that Secretary Noble defends the treat
ment Of the Indians by the Interior De-
partment. He declares on the test.
mony Of Indian Agents that the Indians
have been fed and that the agents them
selves are honest men. The truth is,
that for some reason the Indians are on
the warpath and they are declaring that
they would rather die in battle than TO
die Of starvation. 1t is also true that
army officers who have been there say
that the whole trouble has come from
the sussrsHs nf the Indians, and from
the breaking OF treaties with the In.
dians. A case in point is that cited by
General Stanton, which we published q
few days ago wherein the Sioux relin-
pushed land enough to make a great
State on condition that they should re-
eeive three hundred and seventy thou
sand paltry dollars. and that not one
dollar Of that amount has been paid. No
finely spun theory in the world will of.
set q fact like that. Some OF us in the
West know that there ought not 10
be any occasion for an Indian war, and,
from long experience, believe that the
Interior Department is incompetent to
deal with the Indian question, and that
the business Of taking care Of the In
dams ought to be turned over to the
men who have to meet and turn back,

The father Of baby Duvall, the man
who ieeced several United States Sena.
tors by writing them that he had named
the youngster after them, has been heard
from again. This time he writes to one
Of the Senators who failed to respond"
that he will not name the young one for
any Of them. The Senator refuses TO let
it be known what the baby's name would
be. In view of the quick exposure of
the scheme and the consequent failure to
receive more money, we suggest that
Mr.. Duvall name him Dennis.

Assistant Commissions

When the Idaho Legislature met it found
that it had three United States Senators
to elect-a very extraordinary thing. 1t
ratified the members, and after failing to
elect two Senators by separate votes in
each House they met in joint session and
elected two; and then, having got such
a start, they elected a third one without
6rst voting in each House separately.
They have muddled things considerably.

The Brookhaven leader. [volume] (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1883-1891, 1891-02-19

The LEADER cannot suppress
blush at the stark ignorance displayed
by some of the editorial fraternity in
discussing the provisions of the new
Constitution. 1t is manifest from
many statements and criticisms we see
in our exchanges on this subject that
some of these editors have never read
the Constitution at all, Orif they have,
do not possess the understanding of
the average school boy. What trav-
esty on profession that poses as the
educator of the masses and the mould
er of public opinion! If such editors
as those to whom we refer will not or
cannot inform themselves, they ought
at least to have the good sense to keep
silent, for number of them are not
only making themselves ridiculous and
bringing reproach opon their profess
sion in the eyes of intelligent readers,
but they are doing positive harm by
misleading the people who depend up
on the press for correct information.

An Important Ruling.

A most important ruling was made
in the Yazoo Circuit Court in the case
of State VS.. Barr, charged with en-
plOying negro under contract for the
year 1890 with Mr.. Wallace, of near
Phoenix, knowing of such contract.
The negro testified that he quit Mr.
Wallace and went to his fathers, and
afterwards picked cotton for Mr.. Barr,
whom Mr.. Wallace notified of his con-
tract. Judge Chrisman held that the
negro having quit Mr.. Wallace with
out any inducement of employment
held out by Mr.. Barr, that Mr.. Barr
had the right to employ him and was
guilty of no violation of law in so do
ing. 1t was generally supposed that
if one knew of a contract of employ
ment between employer and en-
plOyee, that he could not hire the lat
ter no matter if the employee had left
the service of Lis employer. Judge
Chrisman said if the law meant that it
was unconstitu tional.-- Yasoo Sentinel.

Embarrassed Leaders.

The LEADER is not at all surprised
at the prcdicamcnt in which Mr..
Cleveland's anti-free silver letter
places the Democratic champions OF
the ex-President. 1t has only come a
little sooner than we anticipated. We
have never given any credence to the
report that Mr.. Cleveland had chang
ed his position on the silver question.
He is man who doesn't jump ut con-
illusions or shift his sails on the slight
est occasion to catch the popular
breeze. He has deep convictions on
all public questions, and he has the
courage of those convictions. He may
make his mistakes, as we believe he
has in this instance, but he is one of
the few public men who had "rather
be right las he sees iD than Presi-
dent"
His letter is special source of en-
barrassment to the Democratic Alli
ance leaders of this State, and should
serve as timely warning to Alliance
men generally not to follow too blind
ly and confidently such leadership.
Think for yourselves. Notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Cleveland's anti-silver record
and the wellknown position taken by
the National Alliance on this question,
the Mississippian, the State Alliance
organ, and the Chickasaw Messenger,
the State Lecturers paper, have been
industriously booming him for the
Presidency, and using every effort to
lead Mississippi Alliance men square
ly into the Cleveland camp. If Mr..
Cleveland were elected President
again, he would not only veto any
free coinage silver bill, but lie might
be relied on with equal certainty to
veto any measure partaking of the ma
ture of the sub-Treasury scheme, SO
dear to the Alliance heart.

A Handsome school Building.

While at Clinton the first of this
week, the editor of the LEADER,
by the courtesy of DR.. and Mrs.
Ilillman, was shown through the mag
nihcent new Central Female Institute
which is now nearing com
plction.
1t is called "Adelia Hail." in honor
of Mrs. Hillman, and is certainly one
Of the handsomest and most convcn-
iently arranged College buildings in
the South. Pres. Hillman designed
this elegant structure himself, and has
spared neither time nor expense to
make it in every way specially adapt
ed to College purposes. 1t is four
stories high, and forty-four feet wide
10y seventy long. The basement, when
completed, will he used for dining
hall. On the first floor is the Chap
ell and spacious Assembly Hall, with
recitation rooms ad joining. The second
floor is divided into dOrmitOries. On
the third floor are two large halls,
one to le used by the Art Department,
the other by the scientific classes; the
attic, Il room running the whole length
of building, will be used as gymna-
stun.
All of the apartments are finished
with vanished yellow heart pine, with
trimmings in native black walnut,
hauled from DR.. Hillman's Big Black
estate and sawed and dressed on the
ground.
The heating apparatus seems per-
feet A radiating and hot air furnace,
the only one in the State, is SO adjust
ed that the rooms on every floor can
be made comfortably warm in few
minutes. Convenience and utility are
everywhere observable. Large zinc
tanks are so situated that the whole
building is furnished with a bOuntiful
water supply, and stairways at both
ends furnish easy ingress to any part
of the building, and guarantee safe
escape in case of fire. All of the fur
niture Is elegant and of the latest i'm
proved patterns. In fact, to the most
careful observer, everything seems
complete.
This building is to be used in con-
nection with the old Institute, both
together affording ample accommOda-
tons for 800 pupils; it being the in
tention of DR.. and Mrs. Hillman to
deed the entire property
to the Baptists of Mississippi before
their death.
For almost forty years this worthy
couple, assisted by an able corps of
teachers, have been in charge of Cen
trail Female Institute, and have
achieved for it a fame enjoyed by but
few educational institutions in the
South. With it's increased facilities
it's friends and patrons may expect
even greater achievements for it in the
future.

We see it stated in some of the pa
pers, the Clarion Ledger among 9th
ers, that the man who failed to pay
his taxes on or before Feb. LIST, is dis
franchised for two years. This is
clearly misleading. The Constitution
simply requires of the voter that he
shall pay son or before the first day
of February of the year in which he
shall offer to vote, all taxes which may
have been legally required of him,
and which he has had an opportunity
of paying according to law, for the tVo
preceding gears" For instance, man
may have missed paying his taxes be-
for Feb. l, 1891, and if so, he cannot
vote this year but if, ION or before
the first day of February" 1892, he
shall pay all taxes assessed to him for
the two preceding years" $3.50 and
1917 he can vote at next years cleo
ton, if qualified otherwise.

went badly and lately his place was
closed by attaching creditors. The
verdict of the jury was that the de-
ceased came to his death by an over
dose of morphine, vial containing a
solution of the drug being found near
his bed. His remains were brought to
Brookhaven Tuesday morning for
burial, he being brother of Mr.. Jacob

4 Political Sensation.

The political sensation of the past
week il letter written by exPresi-
dent Cleveland against tho free coin
are of silver. Mr.. Cleveland has n
record against legislation favorable
to silver, hut il had been given ont by
his political friends who progressed to
know. that he had greatly modified
his views "n this subject, and in tho
end might easily he brought into ae.
cord with the majority of his party.
This letter cfirctually dissipates all
such claims aud hopes, and places him
squarcly in the camp of the gold bugs.
Until now everything pointed to
denomination of Mr.. Cleveland next
year for the Presidency. The whole
drift of party sentiment was in that
direction, and it looked like he, of all
others, had the mnqucstioned right OF
way to the popular Democratic heart.
The letter has changed the whole face
of the situation. His most Jealous
champions are dumb-fOunded and ST.
lent, or if they speak, do SO only to
express their sore disappointment and
regret. Verify there is trouble in
Democratic Israel. The party is COM
united t" the silver policy and to 60
tn battle with such leader, would be
to court defeat. Another Moses must
needs he found.
