Hon. l.. L. Polk, President of the
National Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial Union, said in recent interview
while discussing the Louisiana Lot
terry:
"We are in the midst of a great
moral revolution and the people are
determined to correct the existing
evils. 1t can be question of but a
short time when the masses will over
throw the existing political organiza-
tons at the ballot box. When the
public sees the Fifty first Congress
adjourn, after thirteen months spent
in actual session without having pass
ed one measure looking toward the re-
lief of the farmers and wOrkingmen,
popular indignation will know no
bounds and adjustments of political
grievances will be taken into their
own hands. The object of our organ
ization is to effect great MORAL RE-
FORMS OF EVERY CHARACTER"
BY this we understand that the AL
lance will in due time tackle that
greatest of all demoralizing forces,
the liquor traffic, and then woe unto

SAM JONES GETS THERE.

PALESTINE, Tex, Feb. 3.-Rev.
Sam p. Jones lectured in this city last
night, delivered his famous lecture en-
titled "Get There" and this morning
ut the International e. Great North
ern Railway Depot, while awaiting
the departure of the west-bound train,
gave q practical illustration of the
subject. Hon. John Words, mayor of
Palestine, attacked Mr.. Jones with a
cane, striking him across the face and
drawing blood.
The reverend gentleman with the
least effort wrenched the cane from
his assailant and remarked that he
disliked the necessity for doing so,
but was compelled to give the mayor
thrashing, which he proceeded to
do, striking q number of blows on the
face and head, causing him to bleed
prOfusely.
Mayor Words then drew revolver,
but was prevented from using it by q
constable. The Rev. Mr.. Jones had
criticised the official conduct of Mayor
Words while holding q revival here
last November, which was the cause
of the assault. The citizens general
~ condemn the conduct of Mayor
Words and held q mass meeting to
take action in the matter. The affair
has created sensation throughout the
county, where Mr.. Jones has many ad-
mirers. Mayor Words is under arrest
charged with carrying concealed
weapons and aggravated assault. The
Rev. Sam Jones was unmolested and
left on the morning train for La
Grange, where he lectures tonight.
When Jones was here in the fall he
criticised Words official conduct, who
was out of the city at the time.
Words said he would whip Jones if he
ever saw him. Jones returned and
lectured here Words followed him to
the train when the fight followed.
Jones sent the following regarding
it to his friends at Atlanta:
The one-gallus mayor of Palestine
tried to cane your uncle Jones this
morning at the depot. l wrenched
the cane from him and wore him out.
l am little disfgured but still in the
ring. l criticised his official career

SAM p. JONES.
A large citizens meeting was held
in Palestine after the attack on Mr..
Jones, at which resolutions were
adopted strongly condemning the con-
duct of the Mayor and calling upon
him to resign.

4 Faithful Official.

The Mississippian thus refers To
case persistently prosecuted to sue
cess by Attorney General Miller:
"Thc famous pcnitcntiary bond casc
was the subject of another elaborate
orinioL in the Supreme Court yestcr-
day. The Attorney General obtained
Judgment In the Circuit Court of
Kinds county against Hamilton, Allen
g. llnskins for the lease of the peni
t-utiary for 1895, about $44, 900, in
Guiding interest, but failed to- hold the
surctics on the bond, the Circuit Court
deciding that valid transfer of the
lease had been made tO the Gulf &
Ship Island railroad company, under
an net of 1884, whereby the sureties
on the bond became discharged. Ham,
ilton, Allen L. Co. appealed, and the
Attorney General appealed also. The
Judgment was affirmed on the appeal
of the principals, but reversed so far
IA the sureties were concerned. This
narrows the controversy on the next
trial to small limits. This was the
third appeal, and there is II growing
conviction that the sureties may as
well step up aud settle"
When the Attorney General brought
this suit, we thought it about the most
unI,ronising work he could engage
in. The whole business was u laba-
rynth of twists and lodges, and al
though every body knows the money
is due the state, few thought it could
be recovered. The Attorney Gener-
al, however, has faithfully contended
for the money due the State, and has
got the case now, where only the
fiimsiest defense renlains-the alleged
erasure of one of the names from the
bond, or something of that sort.
Verify the conviction of Heming-
way and the gaining of this suit de-
monstrate that some of our officials
are faithful to their trusts at any rate.

When the Sword and Shield, the
New Mississippian and the LEADER
were showing up the Penitentiary
rottenness, exposing that bogus trans
fer of the lease to the Gulf g. Ship
Island Railroad and demanding the
payment of what the CHI. now says
"every body knows is due the State"
that paper and others of its ilk were
crying persecution and denying that
the money was due, the valiant editor
of the State organ was making Wig
orous attack on Gen. Kolbaars and
studying European politics, and it
looked indeed as though our faithful
Attorney General had "abOut the most

But the tide has turned. HIeming-
way, who stood by and saw those false
certificates imposed on the public
when he knew the lease money had
not been paid into the treasury, is
wearing stripes, Judgment has been
obtained against the lessees before the
highest tribunal of the State: and the
end is not yet.
Truth is mighty and will prevail.

FROM THE BUSINESS MAN.

Several of the Delta papers want
the granting of saloon licenses to 60
right on, REGARDLESS of the law and the
Constitution on the subject. These
papers are interested in the publica-
ton of the whisky petitions, and they
illustrate how little regard some edi-
tors have for the laws of their State
when their pockets are concerned.
By the by, that feature of that "ad-
mirable" law of the Code, the effect of
which is to subsidize large part of
the State press in the interest of the
saloons, was not referred to by Judge
Campbell in his late eulogy on chapter
50.

The question having been raised as
to whether or not present sheriffs and
treasurers are eligible to succeed
themselves this year under the provi-
sions of the new Constitution, Attor-
ney General Miller, in answer to the
query, says they are eligible for an
other term, that the new Constitution
does not operate against present in
cumbents, and that the Constitution
makers did not contemplate raising
suck an issue. In this opinion Judge
Wiley P. Harris, Judge Calhoon and
others concur.

"Honest Billy Woodruff" is short

dollars is the amount said to be due

Mississippi's ex-Treasurer, says
"there must he mistake in the

ing committee report the error in the

Nineteenth Century.
Before the the Franco-G German war there
had been war correspondents, and one, at
least, of those had made for himself a repu-
tation to vie with which no representative of
a newer school has any claim. But their
work, being in the Photographic period,
was carried on under less arduous conditions
than those which confront the war cores
pondent of to-day. Nor was 1t so incumbent
on them to carry their lives in their hands.
Before far-reaching rifled firearms came into
use, 1t was quite easy to see battle without
getting within the range of fire. But this is
no longer possible. With siege guns that
carry shells ten miles, with field artillery hav-
ing q range of four miles, and rifles that kill
without benefit OF clergy at two miles, the war
correspondent may as well stay at home with
his mother, unless he has hardened his heart
to take his full share of the risks of the battle
field. Indeed, il he has determined to look
narrowly into the turbulent heart OF each sue
cessive spasm of the bloody struggie-and 1t
Is only, now, by doing this that he can make
for himself q genuine and abiding reputation,
he must lay his account with adyenturing
more risk than falls to the lot Of the average
soldier.
The percentage of casualties among war
correspondents Is greater than that among the
actual fighting men. In the petty Servian
campaign of 1876, for instance, there were
twelve correspondents who kept the field and
went under fire. OF these, three were killed
and for were wounded. Certainly not more
than thirty correspondents and artists all
told, were in the Soudan from the earliest
troubles to the final failure OF the Nile ex-
pedition, but on or under its cruel sand lie the
corpses OF at least six of my comrades
O'Donovan, the adventurous pioneer of Mery,
,perished with Hicks. The last hope has long
faded that Vizetelly, endowed though he was
with more lives than the proverbal cat, has
still life in hand. Power lived to be Cor
don's loyal valiant and trusted lieutenant, but
fell on the errand of attempting to bring to us
the full details of that noble soldiers heroism.
Cameron and st. Leger were struck down on
the same bloody day, and rest together In

Poor Gordon, who had been soldier before
he became war correspondent, died lone
death of thirst in the heart of the desert
while pushing urgently on to where his duty
lay.
Time would fail me to tell of those who
have perished of fevers and other maladies,
who have been wounded, shipwrecked an d
encountered strange hairbreadth escapes; of
others again who have come home so broken
by hardship and vicissitude that what remains
OF life to them is nought but weariness and
pain. And 1t is such men who have been
classed with the camp followers, and de-
nounced as ''drones who eat the rations of the
fighting men and do no work at ALL"

Forgetful bridegrooms have been reduced to
great straits. In one instance leather ring
had, on the spur of the moment, to be cut

tragic story of forgotten wedding ring is
told in the ''Lives of the Lindsays.'

Lindsay, the young Ear of Balcarres, was
quietly eating his breakfast in nightgown and
slippers. When reminded that Mauritia of
Nassau was waiting for him at the altar, he
hurried to the church, but forgot the ring A
friend present gave him one which he, with
out looking at, placed upon the BRIDES finger.
After the ceremony was over the Countess
glanced at her hand and beheld grinning
deaths head on her ring. She tainted away
and the omen made such an impression on her
that on recovering she declared that she was
destined to die within year, a presentiment
that probably brought about its own fulfill
ment, for in few months the careless Colin
was widower.
