The Aberdeen Examiner has been
severely rebuked by a large part Of
the State press for its recent severe
criticism of the Supreme Court.
While the LEADER regards the Exam
iner's article as far too sweeping, it is
free to say that there has been entire
ly too much technical hair splitting
ard "legislating'' in certain cases by
our supreme tribunal for the public
good. Its decision, for instance, in
the noted Sullivan case was an out
rage upon common sense, on which all
sound law is supposed to be based,
and contravened sound principle
previously enunciated by the court it
self in another State case.

The ChOctaw county Alliance re-
solves not to support any man for
the Legislature who will not
pledge himself to refuse to vote for
any man for U. S. Senator who re-
fuses to support the demands of the
National Alliance and Industrial
Union. Senator Walthall has already
placed himself on record against the
Sub Treasury bill endorsed at the two
last meetings of the National Alli-
ance, and therefore comes under the
ban. Senator George is yet to be
heard from.

Albert Hill, a 15-year- lad, was
assassinated at DR.. Lambs in Rankin
county on the 10Th. The family had
just sat down to supper, when a shot
gun was discharged in their midst,
and the boy, riddled with bullets,
fell to the floor a corpse. The muir.
derer had sneaked into the house
while the family were at supper and
it is supposed, had intended to kill
DR.. Lamb, although no more motive
can be assigned for the killing of one
than the other.

Fraternal Greeting from Illinois

Mr.. C.. S. Hill writes from Cham
paign, H., under date of Feb. 18th, as
follows:
| see by the Nashville Issue that
the LEADER has turned Prohibition.
Enclosed find 25 cents for which please
send me the one of Jan. Is, 1890, con-
tanning the article "Across the Rubi-
con-" and as many other numbers as
you may see fit to for the balance. i'll
was not taking SO many Prohibition
papers now l would send you full
years subscription at once. | am glad
to see so many good men now coming
out on the side of Prohibition. l
think our editors and the leaders of
our party ought to have encourage
ment.
1t is now full time the old war bat
tie was over. The Southern man is
an American, and although was rails
ed Republican and a Yankee, as you
might call me, | feel love for my
Southern brother, as he is one of my
own countrymen, and now we have a
greater war to fight than any, this
war with the liquor traffic.
In the last twenty-five years the Ii
quor business has killed more men
and wrecked more families than any
war, and the curse is all over the land,
for the liquor traffic, as it exists now
and is upheld by the license system,
is a power that makes it that much
the harder to execute laws in our
Prohibition States. 1t is national
question and you can set me down as
a prohibitiOnlst in vote as we'll as talk
till the liquor business is conquered.

MORALS IN POLITICS.
The Gospel of Political indie
pendcnce, as Preached by the
Alliance Editor of the
Raymond Gazette.
NH -

AN'' -
Having spoken of the evils of party
spirit in the previous number OF the
Gazette, will now speak of the sec
ond evil referred tn, viz: THAT gov
eminent has nothing to do with reli-
gion and morals, and so moral ques-
tons must he left out of politics"
This sentiment is contrary to truth
and reason. to all teaching of history
and the practice of nations, our own
not excepted and it is contrary to
the teaching of the Bible, which
should be the foundation of all gov
eminent. The courts and Legislatures
of all our States do deal with the NOR
ais of the people. All legislation
should have ceaselesS regard for the
morals or right doing of the people,
aud when it fails i'll this it marks a
period of retrOgression and decline in
good government, deplored by all good
citizens. The Supreme Court of the
United States in the Kansas brewery
cases, decided "that place where in
toxicating drinks are sold, may be re-
garded as q nuisance, and the owners
can claim no damages sustained under
the operation of prohibitory law"
and refers repeatedly to the influence
of such places upon the morals of the
people.
The same court in the Louisiana
Lottery case declared: "No legisla-
ture can bargain away the public
health or public morals. The people
themselves cannot do it, much less
their servants. Government is organ
lied with view to their preservation,
and cannot divest itself of the power
to provide for them"
The greatest political evil in our
country is to be found in the fact re-
ferred to before, that so many good
men in our country are bound hard
and fast to one or the other of the old
political parties, perpetuated year af-
ter year only as convenient machines
for willy politicians to operate. But
for the ruin to which we have been
nigh brought by the policy of the old
parties, there never would have been
such an awakening among the farmers
of the country. They see the immi-
nent danger to which the Republic is
exposed, and they have Organized..and
are still organizing, o save the cOun-
try from fate of Greece, Rome, Sy-
ria, Babylon, and in fact, all the gov
ernments that have been ruined by
the same course of policy that has char
acterized our own Republic for the
last thirty years, which has been, to
rob the many for the benefit of the
few, in building up mammoth monop-
olies, at the ruinous expense of the
toiling millions. What we need at the
present juncture is political party
based upon moral principles, holding
moral issues to be of supreme nation
al Importance. Such a party, attract
ing to itself all good men, lovers of
truth and right, would drive from
power the devotees of mammon, lust
and liquor, would soon break up all
dens Of moral pollution and political
peril, and thus prepare the way for a
higher, nobler and purer civilization
for which all noble people long

The Prohibition Issue.

The avowed policy of the Party
Pruhibitionists to make Prohibition
an issue within the Democratic party
is tue nomination of all candidates
this year, is one that should not only
meet she cordial support of every
Party Ilehibitionist, but of every
opi,nrns af the liquor traffic in the
State, il matters not what may be his
views concerning the propricty of or
ganizing separate Prohibition party.
The Legislature elected next fall
will have plenary jurisdiction over ev-
cry phase of the liquor question for the
ensuing four years. The new Consti-
tuition is absolutely silent on the sub
.icct, and the Legislature may, if it be
dominated by whisky men and choose,
repeal the old petition law, the local
option law, all five mile statutes, or
change them in any way it sees proper.
If the license system is continued in
any shape, it will have the disposal
of the license money aud may divert
it, as So much bride money, into the
treasury of each county where collect
eel. or into the lcvce fund, or it may
bc turned into the public school
fund. as under the old Constitution,
To serve as "a potent argument for
perpctuating the saloon as an educa-
tonal institution. In short, the Leg
islaturc elected next fall will be cloth
ed with unlimited authority in dealing
with this question, and its work will
stand as mighty agency for good or
evil for the next four years.
Having failed by the decision of the
late Convention to secure Constitu-
tIonal Prohibition, the first aim of the
Prohibitionists will be to secure stat
utory prohibition covering the entire
State. Such law has been endorsed
and urged by three successive non
partisan State Prohibition Conven-
tons. ard that endorsement stands
unrcvokcd. Speaking through their
only "Hthorizcd official agents, the
ProhihitioniSts of Mississippi, parti-
san and non partisan, stand committed
to statutory prohibition and Its
impartial and rigid enforcement.
Therefore, let us take this up as the
issue, and let us support 10 man for
Senator or Representative, who will
not pledge himself to vote for such Il
law.
The support of those only for other
offices who are known to he Prohibi
tionists is also of the utmost import
ance. These officials, like the legisla-
tors, are to serve four years. What
ever laws are passed by the legisla-
ture will depend for enforcement i'll
very large measure upon the district
attorney, sherifts, boards Of supervl-
sors, justices of the peace and consta-
bles chosen this fall. Therefore the
importance of electing the right sort
of men to these places cannot be over
estimated.
Let the friends of the cause in ev-
cry county in the State make Prohi-
bition living, moving, burning issue
as never before.

The new Constitution doesn't re-
quire the voter to produce his tax re-
ceipt to the registration officer; but it
does deny the right of registration to
everyone who has not paid his taxes
on OF before the first day of February
for the two preceding years, so to re-
move all doubt or controversy, it
would be much better for every voter
to carry his tax receipts with him
when he goes to register. Circuit
Clerk Warren says he is going to carry
out the Constitution to the letter in
the registration of voters, and that
none will be registered who do not
produce satisfactory evidence that
their taxes were paid as required.

The Woodville Republican reads
the following Democratic doctrine to
the DISTINGUISHED
1t always has been the policy of the
Democratic party to allow none but
registered voters to have a voice in
its precinct meetings and conventions.
This is the only just and proper rule /;
any other in fact would be demoraliz-
ing. Far better allow a boy 16 or IL
years old voice in precincts, and
representation in convention, than a
man who is unable or unwilling to pay
his taxes, generally an insignificant
poll tax. If man can't vote let him
take back seat on the Democratic
benches and keep still until he can
shoot off his ballot as well as his
mouth. That always has been and
should be the rule.
