chcrishing the memories of our de
parted comrades, let Ills not forget the
gallant. patriotic private soldier. To
him more than all others is the honor
due. You and and all who held of
fetal positions in the army may have
been inspired by hopes of personal
advancement or personal fame or ia
vor: but love of duty and love of
country were the private soldiers on
" incentives. Whatever of honor or
fame you or |, or any officer of the
Confederate Army, from the highest
to the lowest, acquired, was due to
the indomitablc courage and heroic
deeds of the loyal, sclf-sacriiicing pri-
vate soldier of the Confederate Army.
Then let us not forget him, but in ad-
diticn to the monuments If marble
and brass that are buildcd to pierce
the skies, let us preserve within our
hearts and memories and traditions,
memorials to his honor, which will
stand forever, and which the touch OF
time can never tarnish.

persuaded at last and gone back on
his record. For six months his only
thought by day and dream 10y night
has been how to save the Democracy
from the Sub-T. and everlasting de-
structiOn. He never thought of be-
coming candidate himself and was
far from desiring such thing. His all
consuming desire and ambition was
to find some magnetic and popular
idol who could harmonic and bring
together all of the warning and dis
cordant elements of the county and
save the dear old party of glorious
traditions. Alas how little did this
unselfish patriot know what the pco-
pie were thinking about and how soon
they would rise up and exclaim with
one voice, as Nathan did unto David,

excused by his importunate solicitors,

wishes, but his old friend Craft Coon.

Editor Clarion-Lcdger;
Yesterday morning at $3.50 o'clock
the Messenger office aud building was
destroyed by fire. Nothing was saved
except the subscription books, which
fortunately were at my residence. 1t
is believed by many, familiar with the
surroundings, to be the work of an
incendiary, and if true, l will give
$500 for the arrest and conviction of
the miscreant. 1t is impossible for
me to correctly estimate my loss, at
this writing, for had well-appoint-
ed office, newspaper and job power
presses, ETC.. and had but little insur-
ance. But that which | most regret
is the destruction of part of my file,
which is the record of years of my
life work and which cannot be re-
placed. Perhaps | might get a part,
if not all the files of this year from
some friends, who have preserved
them, and if such there be, will be
immensely obliged, if they will send
them to me. | desire to say to those
who know themselves indebted to the
Messenger, for subscriptions or ad.
vertising in the past that | now need
the amounts due me, badly, and
hope they will spare no effort to raise
and forward the money without de-
lay.
| trust you will do me the favor tC
announce to the patrons of the Mes
senger throughout the State that ar
rangements will be perfected ut al
early day to resume the publication OF
the paper, hence, my Alliance and
other friends who are interesting
themselves in raising clubs for the
State organ need not discontinue theil
work, for the more successful they are
the more readily will | be enabled tC

Alliance Literature.

The demands of the Farmers Ali
ance have been so thoroughly dis
cussed within the last year that it is
now time to take up each one of the
demands and historically treat them
and carefully analyzc the same. The
most exhaustive treatment of any one
of the demands is the Sub Treasury
plan, which is treated in. the June and
July numbers of the Library of Ma
tiOnal Economist Extras, published by
the National Economist Publishing
Co., Washington, d. G. 1t gives the
origin of the plan, the causes for it,
and Il full aud complete answer to all
arguments urged against it. Improves
the plan to he the only measure that
will relieve the depressed agricultdr-

The Summit Fair.

The LEADER acknowledges the re-
ceipt of n special invitation to the
fifth annual fair of the South MissiS-
sippi Fair Association, at Summit,
which opens Oct. Goth and continues
through the 31st. The exhibition this
year will present an unusual number
of attractions. Among these will be
an exhibit from the Mississippi A. &
NJ. College, which Gen. S. ID. Lee has
notified the management will be sent.
The LEADER hopes the fair will be
largely attended, especially 10y the
farmers of South Mississippi, who will
be certain to see and learn something
there of interest to them. We have
attended the fair heretofore, and have
always come away feeling that the
time was well spent, and that the en-
terprise was accomplishing good.

After considerable delay, Gov.
Stone has filled the vacancy in the
Brookhaven mayoralty, caused by
the resignation of Hon. A. Lewenthal,
by the appointment of DR.. j. b.
Daughtry. Though no one will be
more highly pleased, or more ready
to award praise where praise is justly
due, if the future should prove other
wise, we stand on record us regarding
this an appointment unfit to be made.
At the same time, we have no word
of censure or blame for Gov. Stone.
In the face of the long petition pre-
scented by DR.. Daughtry and unwith-
drawn endorsements of so many lead
ing citizens, he could not well have
acted otherwise.

Without assuming to disparage his
opponent, the LEADER gives it as its
deliberate opinion, that the Alliance
men and farmers of this county should
stand by Judge Cassidy to a man.
Two years ago and again this year,
he stood by them and their interests
and candidates, and made success pos
sible, when they had but few cham
pions among professional men, and it
was altogether at their solicitations
and out of Difference to their wishes
that he consented to become u eandi-
date. Stand by the man who has
stood by you.

Gov. Stone has way of hitting the
mark in a straightforward manner,
that is possessed by very few writers
or speakers of the present day, an
age distinguished for verbosity and

THAT'S because we have all too few

Who Art the Man?
BRoOKHAvEN, Oct. II,

BROOKITAVEN, Oct. II, 1891.
Editor BroOkhayen Leader:
GAS sentinel on the watch tower,
jealousy guarding the interest of the
people, and having on more than one
accession exposed the crookedness OF
officials, think it duty you OWe to
the Democratic party, to give in full
the name of the "nOminee for Repre-
sentative who came near getting
jagged, while intoxicated, by good
Prohibition J. p. not hundred miles
from BrOokhaven."
If | am not mistaken, the law pro-
vides as a penalty for drunkenness OF
officials, their removal from Office,
and in my opinion it would be best
not to elect one susceptible to such
accidental influences. Probably this
nominee for Representative accidental
ty took little too much beer.
Yours truly,
S. p. OLIVER.
In answer to the enquiry of our
correspondent, we will state that the
candidate referred to is one of the
nominees for Representative in Copiah
county, whose weakness for John Bar
leycorn is SO notorious, it is not nee
essary to give his name, so far as the
voters of that county are concerned,
and it would be useless us to Lincoln.
We will say, however, that it is cur
rently rumored Though we connot
vOuch for the absolute truthfulness
of the reporD, that there has been a
similar case a good deal nearer home.
We will say further that we heartily
agree with Mr.. Oliver that the people
should not elect such men to office.

Welcomes Their Departure.

The plutOcratic organs great and
small are congratulating themselves
on the fact that the West Point sub
Alliance has surrendered its charter
aud disbanded. For once the Mes
senger is in accord with the machine
screechers, who howl in season and
out of season for the money power,
and it most heartily cOngratulates the
Alliance of Clay county because of
the action taken by the eight or ten
So called Alliancemen at West Point
and vicinity. Would to God every
"TOwn Alliance" in the State would
follow suit without delay. Such a
course OH their part would be more
honorable to the membership of these
namby- PANTY organizations and
would tend to harmOnize aud purify
the Order immensely. And the Mes
senger hopes too, that every decent
member not in accord with the de-
mands of the Supreme Council at
Ocala, belonging to any sub-Alliance
in the State, will understand the ne
cessity of acquiescing in the decision
of the majority of his brethren and
abandoning the role of public dissen-
ter, or withdrawing from the Order.
All other strife promoters within the
ranks should be dismissed with the
little ceremony as the constitution
and bylaws will admit. Harmony in
thought is essential to unity of action
and without these we can have no sue
cess.-ChickasaU MESSENGER.

The first fundamental principle OF
Democracy lies in the established
right of the majority to rule, and any
deviati IN from this accepted doctrine
is anti-Democratic. The principle,
too, is so plain and simple, so utterly
free from the possibility of misunder-
standing by even the merest tyro in
politics, that he who does not accept
it cannot be classed as a loyal Demo
crat'-Ndtchez Democrat.
All that being true-and it is why
has such howl been raised against
Alliance Democrats, who want the
Sub-Treasury question settled with
out prejudice in this fair and Demo-
cratic way and what would you and
other anti-Sub-Treasury shriekers do,
if the majority should be against you?

Fears for a General Strike.

SHAWNEE, O., Nov. 20.-The miners
at the Standard Mines at Saltillo have
stuck because the demand for an ad-
vance of five cents per ton was refused.
1t is feared that all the miners on the
Columbus & Hooking Railroad will
strike. About 700 men are now out.
