MiSquOted.

The Press says Lawrence county will
honor Hon. J. l.. Ramsey of Copiah with
her two votes for district attorney
Bro0khdreR Leader.
Our usually fairminded and esteem
ed contemporary has misquoted us in
this instance. Here is what we said /:
1--WE trust Lawrence county will hon
or him Mr.. Ramsey with her two
votes" While we might have our own
opinion as to how Lawrence county
would go, yet, it would be presump-
tuous for us to presume OH the senti-
ment of the people without having
first heard the general expression.
There is 10 denying the fact that we
have been committed TO Mr.. Ramsey
for some time past, yet, there are 9th
err candidates in the field, and every
man in the county has perfect right
to vote for who he pleases. There
| fore, we would not be so hasty as "a
say for people that which we have
not authority to say.-LdWrence CoaR-
ty Press.
The LEADER cheerfully gives place
to the above correction. The mis-
statement was altogether the result
of inadvertence and in no sense in
territorial, our paragraph having been
dashed off in hurry without tho
Press's article before us.

Judge Cassidy ON the Sub
Treasury Bill.

by request, the LEADER has beer
furnished the following letter written
by Judge Cassidy of Brookhaven to q
prominent Alliance man Of Franklin
county touching an important public
question now agitating the public
mind. The letter explains itself:
BRooKHAvEN, Mss, April Is, 1891.
DIR. \. NJ Newman. Meadyille. Miss:
DEAR SIR Yours of the 18th inst
inviting me to be present at Meadville
on the 18th inst. ut a meeting of the
+. \. & /. L. of Franklin county. and
tO address the meeting on til" Ocala
demands aud especially the Sub
Treasury bill, was 10y reason of my
absence from home only received on
the day of the meeting and hence it
was impossible for me to comply with
your request. You say, however, that
in the event of my inability to attend.
the membership would be pleased Ia
hear my views on the subject men
toned which ] will give readily. |
have no doubt of the Constitutional
power of Congress to enact the Sub
Treasury bill, for the Constitution is
not only what its trainers intended it
should be, but also what by long
course of action under it by the diff
ferent departments of the government,
Executive, Legislative, and Ju-
dietary, have construed it to
be, and if analogous precedents
set in the past, and acquiesced
in for years by all departments of the
government, and by all political par
ties, are to be observed when applied
to measure intended for the benefit
of the agricultural classes, this would
seem to bo an end to the constitution
al question. The only serious ques-
ton involved in the measure in my
Judgment, is one of expediency. Will
it remedy the evils it is intended TO
cure! If it will am unllesitatingiy
in favor of it, but about this there
seems to be even amongst the mem
bers of the Alliance organization wide
and divergent views. This measure
like all other reform measures may he
i'm its details and doubtless is, dciec-
tive, but discussion and agitation will
discover these and the underlying
principle of the measure may he pre-
served and put in practical operation.
The fact that it is brought forward by
SO large and intelligent an orgaDiza-
ton of citizens upon whom the bur
dens of government chiefly rest, Is
sufficient to commend it to the
thoughtful and serious consideration
of American statesmen. So far as |
am individually concerned am will
ing to see the experiment fairly tested
and tried, when it can be demonstrate
ed whether it is failure or success.
Yours truly,
II. CAssEDY.

forever still the once warm heart that
throbbed with nothing save Christian

that fathers blessing with fervent prayer
