High Explosive From Powder Gums.

s-.8A. AAAPAosANC TONbucT
While further experiments are to be
made with the pneumatic guns of the
Vesuvius, many naval officers believe that
guns OF this type will be entirely super
seeded in a short time by the development
OF system of firing high explosives from
a powder gun. The French have been
working on that line and claim extraor-
dinary results with their explosive
known as melenite, the composition of
which is kept as closely secret as the in
gradients of their celebrated libel powder.
It is claimed for this compound that the
French have been able to throw melenite
shells from high power guns with veloci-
ties as high as 1900 feet per second, and
that 70 pound charges have been re-
peatedly fired from howitzers with a ve-
locity of nearly 300 feet per second. The
ordinance bureau of the Navy Depart
ment has been engaged in similar expert
ments, and at the Newport Torpedo
Station succeeded in firing Emmensite 25
times from 20 FOUNDER bronze rife, but
on the 25th round the shell exploded
an the gun. The explosion was attributed

have also been attained with bellite, and

these compounds from time to time, and

Death of Cenada,s Premier,

Sir John Macdonald, the Canadian pre-
mier, who was Frustrated last week,
suffered stroke of paralysis and died
this week, the hemorrhage having ex-
tended to the brain. The death of the
aged statesman precipitates a political
crisis in Canada. Sir John Thomas will
be called upon to form a cabinet, but an
early dissolution Of parliament and the
overthrow Of the Tory party in the SUBJ

Seventh District Alliance.

The District Alliance of the Sew
enth Congressional District will hold
regular meeting at Jackson on next
Wednesday, Dec. 9th. Bro. T. j.
Millsaps, of Copiah, is President, and
Bro. E. Fleming, of Madison, Secre-
tary. The meeting will probably be
held in the Senate chamber. The
same delegates who served last July
will serve again, unless otherwise
provided by their several county AL
liances.
This will be the most important
meeting of the District Alliance yet
held, and every delegate should be
promptly in his place at the appoint
ed time. 1t is also hoped that as
many Alliance brethren as can find it
convenient will attend in an advisory
capacity. Work is to be mapped out
for the coming year, and steps taken
to thoroughly organize and unite for
the upholding of Alliance principles
throughout the District.
The Brookhaven leader., 1891-12-03

rrrss we've so cXtravagant, that tue
next House of Representatives, which
is Democratic, will not only not be
bothered with a surplus, hut it will
have to meet aud provide for a def
cheney of about $75, 200, 900. For years
Northern Republicans and Democrats
alike have been bidding for the SOL
dier vote by passing all sorts OF ex-
travagantand fraudulent pension bills,
while Southern Democrats, afraid Of
being accused of disloyalty to the
Union if they offer opposition, remain
silent or vote with their Northern
allies, aud thus the Treasury is an
nuallv robbed of millions, quite as
much by the fault of one old party as
the other. Many other abuses also
exist for which both old parties are
jointly to blame.
.If Alliance men in this State and
elsewhere are false to themselves and
their principles by supporting men
for the United States who are avOw =
edly opposed to the Sub-Treasury
plan, aud such men are elected, 1t
will be equivalent to serving notice
OH the leaders of both old political
parties that the farmers do not mean
what they say in demanding reform
in their governmental affairs, and 1t
matters not which of the old parties
obtains the ascendency hereafter, the
two will 90 on as they have for the
past quarter of Il century quarrellng
over the tariff, sectional issues,
pensioning the soldiers and perpet-
uating other eXtravagancies (thus
making a pretext for keeping up a
high tariff and fostering trusts and
monopolies) while the masses of the
people continue to grow poorer. No
wise friend, we had almost said nc
sincere friend, of the farmers and Ia
boring classes can advise such a
course.
"The LEADER has very little hope OF
the peoples accomplishing the needed
reforms through either of the old po.
litical parties. They assuredly will
not as long us they hold love of party
superior to the love of principle
and blindly follow the old party lead,
ers, right or wrong"

GEORGIA'S TWO SANS.
Interesting Letter from Atlanta
by a Former COpiahan.

ATLANTA, GA, Nov. 80, 1891.
Editor Brookhaven Leader:
Not the least among the pleasures
ofsfesiding in Atlanta is the fact that
it is the centre of operations of the
famous two Sans. | allude of course
to Sam Jones and Sam Small. The
former resides at Gainesville, which
is within easy striking distance of this
city-easy at least to one possessed OF
the "striking" qualities that charac-
terize the unique, and incompar-
able, and irrepressible Jones. Small
is at home here, to use the everyday
expression. but in some respects it
would not be very wide of the mark
to say that Atlanta is at home in
Small, for no resident of the place is
so capable of swallowing up the peo-
pie on exciting occasions as he. Sam
Jones only is his superior in drawing
and stirring up the multitudes. And
this say with some misgivings, and
with reservation of the right to change
my opinion after further comparison
of the two men. Jones is fond of say
ing that he discovered Small and con-
verted him. Small delights in ac-
knOwledging Jones to be the apostle
and captain who first caused him to
see the great light that led him
through the church into the pulpit.
In the effort to hear Jones only the
fittest survive. That is (Darwinian
sense), only the stronger and more
adroit. Only those who go an hour
in advance of the appointed begin
ming of the speaking can hope to get
desirable seats.
A brief description of the scenes at
Trinity church last Sunday week, will
illustrate the truth of the above re-
marks. 1t had been announced that
Sam Jones would preach at eleven IN
M. 1 was resolved to get a desirable
seat, and SO with friend went to the
church at ten o'clock. We found not
less than one thousand people packed
as closely as they could get to the two
and more were coming
every moment from all directions. My
companion and myself locked arms
and took our position in the rear of
the ''living wall' about thirty feet
from one of the doors. At half-past

NcWSDapcr Changes.

Last Thursday was notable day
for changes among the big newspapers
and editors of Mississippi.
Mr.. II. II. Henry, editor of the Clar-
ion-Ledger, the leading political jour
nal of the State, sold his interest in
that paper to Capt. J. S. McNeily, ed
itor of the Greenville Times, which
has long been the journalistic head
light of the great Delta country. The
Clarion will be continued as daily
and weekly by Messrs. MeNeily g.
Power, and Mr. Henry, who reserved
the name of, the Ledger, will soon re-
sumo its publication as u daily and
weekly.
On the same day the Chickasaw
Messenger, the official organ of the
State Alliance, edited by the great
commoner, Hon. Frank Burkitt, made
its reappearance from the ashes to
which it was lately reduced by the
hate of political incendiaries. 1t Is
printed on new type and in new form
of 16 pages, after the style of the
National Economist, but has the old
ring which has so many times struck
terror into the hearts of the machine
politicians of Mississippi. The sub
scription price has also been reduced
to 81 90 u year.
Last, but by no means least, last
Thursdays Southern Baptist Record,
the official organ of the Baptists of
Mississippi, contained the valedictory
of Rev. DR.. j. B. Gambrell, who has
been the main stay of that journal
and a great leader of his people,
since the paper was established Is
years ago, and who has hitherto made
it power in Mississippi both within
and without denominatiOnal lines.
For the present, at least, the entire
control of the Record will devolve
upon his associate, Rev. j. A. Hackett,
d. D., who has done much of the edi-
torial work for the past four years.
Such are the mutations of Journal
istic life. In each case the LEADER
hopes the changes, under the guiding
hand of that destiny that shapes all
our ends, will converge to the attain
ment of the highest good to the peO-
pie of Mississippi and the noblest sue
cess of each of the honored gentlemen
named.
The Brookhaven leader., 1891-12-03
STILL ANOTHER.

Since the above was put in type,
the dissolution of partnership between
Messrs. f. S. Wilson and E. l.. Mar
tin, editors of the Mississippian, is
announced. Mr.. Martin retained the
paper and succeeded the firm, and a
still later report says Mr.. R. II. Hen
ry has purchased the plant of the Mis-
sissippian and will issue from said of
flee the Daily and Weekly State
Ledger. The Mississsippian will not
appear again.
