Joe Lotion Escapes Again but
Is Rccapturcd.

Joe Lotion, the notorious Lawrence
county outlaw, made his escape from
the pcnitcntiary early last Monday
morning by scaling the walls before
the guards were out. He was one of
the cooks whose business it was to
prepare breakfast for the guards, and
pretending to 80 ont after water, he
escaped. He was soon attcrward seen
hiding in IL ditch two miles north OF
town by colorcd man, who reported
the fact and guard was sent after
and captured him.
The people of Lawrence county
have endured quite enough from Lof-
TONS dcviltry, and it is to he hoped
he will never be permitted to make
good his escape from the penitentiary
again.

SrENCER CASE, Sec'y.
\ Plea for Fair PLAY.

1t was shrewd game, happily
thwartcd by the timely intervention
of Is. Il. Hobbs, of the LEADER, of
Hon. John Allen to procure the pas
sage of resolutions at his Brook
haven appointment, condemning the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union as IL secret political organiza-
ton, and endorsing Hon. }. L. George
for the United States Senate. There
were a number of Alliance men in at
tendance who were taken by surprise,
as they had not been notified as to
Mr.. Aliens intention. They came by
invitation to hear the political issues
of the day discussed; and were not
prepared for his strategical move
mCnt.
The Brookhaven affair should be a
warning to the Democrats who desire
fair play, of the use that may be made
of such meetings, which, held at the
county sites, afford opportunities of
attendance to the people there resid-
ing, not enjoyed by the farming class
who live further off. Expressions
thus obtained are not binding upon
the actions and cOnsciences of the
party. They will be spurned by the
people whom they are intended to in
lluence, and who will be inspired with
renewed determination to stand by
the cause which they believe to be
right. And if they do not react upon
their authors, the ClarionLedger is
much mistaken. AS this is a contest
among Democrats equally loyal to
the party creed, the ClariOn-Ledger
speaks for fair play.-Clarion-L Ledger.

Morrison concluded the days pro-
gram and marked the close of one of
the most successful sessions of the
College. In the work that has been
accomplished, and especially in its
thOroughness, the session has no SUI
pcrior. President Fitzhugh deserves
the credit of having surrounded him
self with a faculty unsurpassed.
Every member is Il specialist,
and brings not alone experience but
also the highest order of talent to the
discharge of his or her duty.

MIR. Lewis Speech.

Agreeable to appointment, Hon.
: Clarke Lewis. Congressman from the
fourth Mississippi district, and candi-
date for the United States Senate to
succeed Senator Walthall, spoke here
last Monday. Owing principally {"
the fact that Mr.. Lewis coming had
not been sufficiently advertised and
the counter attraction and excitement
incident to the WhitWolth Commence
mcnt exercises. his audience, though
representative ON, was comparative
~ small.
Mr.. Lewis is not an orator. but he
is an easy speaker, who never lacks
for word. and his every mtcrancc
and expression imprcsScS one that he
is an earnest, honest, sincere man who
believes what lie says and has the
courage of his convictions. He Is Il
man of middle age, fine physique and
commanding appearance. There Is
nothing of the dcmag0guc i'll his
methods or make up, and he Is Il
man who will win and retain the re-
spcct and confidence of all classes Of
people wherever lie is personally
known.
He showed that the volume of
money in circulation had been stcadl-
" contracted in the interest Of spec
ulators and gold-bugs, and quoted
numerous authorities showing that
the volume now in circulation Is not
half sufficient for the needs of the
people nor near equal to the amount
per capita claimed by Senator George.
Most of his speech was devoted to
the consideration of the Sub Trcasury,
which he asserted is the dominating
issue in the present contest. lie de
clarcd it constitutional and cited
number of prccedents i'll support
of his position, dating as far
back It's the 18th century when the
L. :. government became Il partner
in Il banking scheme for the loanlng
of money. He also believes the Sub
Treasury practical. and took up and
answered scriatim the arguments of
Senator George and others on this
point. On this line Mr.. Lewis was
especially able, and scored some
strong points we had not previously
heard advanced by any one who has
discussed the subject.
lie asserted that lie yielded to no
one in his loyalty to Democratic prin-
ciplcs and the Democratic party
that the fight 10y the advocates of the
Sub Treasury WAS being made strict
Iy within party lines, and that what
ever the decision of the people, they
would abide the result in good faith.
Both speaker and speech left Il fa
vorablc impression on a majority of
his hearers, and some of those who
had before regarded the Sub Treasury
from pre.judiccd and one
sided standpoint, have since been
heard to say there is far more of good
in it than they had been led to sup
pose.
One thing the LEADER regards as
certain: If Mr.. Lewis, Maj.
Banks dalc and other prominent advo-
Gates of the Sub-Trcasury can obtain
a fail hearing before the people Of the
State, there is not doubt but their
position will be sustained by the
masses.
