LOMAX FOR CONGRESS.
A Correspondent Offers Some
Good Reasons for His
Election.
Edltor Mlsslssinpi Leader /.

Editor Mississippi Leader:
see that the Rev. A. A. LOmax is
mentioned as a suitable man to repre-
sent his District in the U. s. Congress.
1t strikes many of us as most appr0
pirate. He is man from the people
and of the people. In point of talent
and general principles, he has no
superior. In common sense he is ex-
cellent. In political economy he is
well versed In Oratory he is fine
specimen of the best American stump
speaker. In every way he is fully
qualified and vouched for.
The objections against him, by the
brown jugs and black bottle ring mas
tiers, is that ga minister of the Gospel
should not dabble in the ceSs-pool OF
politics. 1t is an old ''chesnut' of
an objection hardly worthy of mem
tOn. The ministry as a general thing
should not, and would not in ordinary
times. take part III politics; but in ex-
traOrdinary times, they have always
come to the front. Luther and John
Knox took hold of the political lever
to accomplish the reformation of Ger
many and Scotland three centuries
since, and Presbyterian with BAPTIST
ministers aided largely by mingling
with American statesmen in the for
nation of our most excellent Constitu-
ton. During our late war ministers
mingled with the Blue and the Gray
in large numbers. Bishop Polk made
a splendid leader of our armies. Low
rey and Ball of this State led their
regiments and brigades with distin-
guished honor, when no brown jug or
squeamsl Puritan put in Il negative.
We are now i'll revolution. There
is .cesspool" of the foulest kind in
our politics. In both old parties it is
an Augean stable and needs cleansing.
Let pure men and brave men, ire
spective of former professions, take
the lead and come to the front. Our
former leaders and lawyers fear the
| howl of the saloons and shrink from
the contest. Let LOmax go to Con-
gress and aid in the purgatiOn of the
''cess- pool "Thank thee, Jew, for
word" Push on the column.

To have any security or protection
from this poison of alcohol, political
action and moral heroism must take
the place of pathetic completely in
our treatment of this monster enemy.
Ks the crime of liquor selling has no
equal for moral turpitude, completely
or responsibility for the great evil
can only be relieved by determined
opposition: moral obliquity in the
past can only be overcome by moral
heroism in the future. The tendency
and influence of lazy, cowardly 81
lence in the present attitude of this
question is worse than open complici-
ty and the want of moral heroism
will do more than anything else te
justify and perpetuate this monster
crime of liquor selling SanaoTel

The Foster and McEnery factions
in Louisiana have at last kissed and
made up. The Foster State Execu-
tive Committee is recognized, and 10
McEnery men are to be added from
the State at large. The delegation to
Chicago and presidential electors are
divided equally between the factions.
There is danger that the Foster fac
tion will get entirely too sweet on
their late opponents, just as Nichols
did when he appointed McEnery to
the Supreme bench. Sometimes"har-
monYn comes entirely to high.

Did you ever see political eonyen-

in which the place hunter, the place.

Because it requires labor and talent
to succeed in all other vocations oil

ferment is easy, aud there is better
pay and less work in official life than
in any other pursuit. All that is re.

Declaration of Purposes.
Whereas. the general condition of our coun-
try imperatvely demands unity of action on
the part OF the laboring classes, reformation
and economy, and the dissemination of prin-
eiples best calculated to encourage and foster
agricultural and mechanical pursuits, encour-
aging the toiling masses-leading them In
the road to prosperity, and providing just
and fair remuneration for labor. a just eN-
change for our commodities, and the best
means of securing to the laboring classes the
greatest amount of good we hold to the
principle that all mOnopOlieS are dangerous to
the best interest of O;lr country. tending to en-
slave a free people aud subvert and finally over
throw the great principles purchased by the
fathers of American liberty. We therefore
adopt the following as our declaration princi-
ples
l. To labor for the education OF the agricul-
turaI classes In the science of economical gov
ernment, in strictly nOn-partisan spirit and
bring about more perfect union of said
classes.
Q. That we demand equal rights to all, and
special fayors to none.
3. To endorse the motto: "In things es-
sentia unity; and in all things charity.
4. To develop better state mentally morally,
socially and financially.
s. TO constantly strive to secure entire har-
mony and good will to all mankind and brother
ly love among ourselves.
G. To suppress personal, local, sectional and
national preudiees, all unhealthy rivalry and all
selfish ambition.
:. The brightest jewels which it garners, are
the tears of the widows and orphans, and Its
imperative commands are to visit the homes
where lacerated hearts are bleeding; to assuage
the suffering of a brother or a sister bury the
dead, care for the widows and educate the or
phans to exercise charity toward all offenders;
to construe words and deeds in their most favor
able light, granting honesty of purpose and
good intentions to others and to protect the
principle of the Farmers Alliance and indus
trial Union until death. It's laws are reason
and; its equity cardinal doctrines inspire purit,
of thought and life, its intention Is ION earth
peace and good will to man."

MINING NOTES.

Great excitement prevails in Truxo,
N. S., in consequence OF the
discovery of gold at the Caribou mines,
worked by the Truxo Gold Mining Com
pauy. The present discovery is expect
ed to turn out the biggest and richest
gold mine ever opened in Canada.
An exchange says not mining whistle
has blown for months, not miner with
his lunch bucket to be seen, pay days q
rare thing of the past, and all because of
the low price of silver, at Bellevue,

Two men were instantly killed by an
explosion in the tunnel Of the Sierra Ne
vada mine in Virginia City on the 2Sth

of the last Legislature and leaves a wife
and child. The other, Ed Nottle, leaves
wife and four children.

SENATOR STEWART.

The Reno Gazette during the last can
yass was one of the few papers IN Ne
vada that supported President Harrison
and the principles of the Republican
party. But while it advocated the ideas
Of the Republican party, it has not lost
track of the individual who has brought
Nevada to the front, as appears from the
following article:
every person elected to the Senate or
Assembly this year was either pledged to
or had declared himself for Mr.. Stewart
before the election. OF the nine hold
over Senators, four or five have expressed
their intention Of voting for him. The
only reason that the other four or i've
assign for standing out against him is,
that he opposed the election OF Harrison.
This might have been all well enough be-
fore the election, but with the sweeping
majority which has been given him, 1T IS
void Of all force now. Every one oil the
four or five Senators who are said to be
holding out, when elected two years ago.
were supposed to be favorable to the
election of Mr.. Stewart, and as every
one of thier counties has declared in his
favor this year, by voting against him
they will be guilty, if not actual betray-
ers of trust, at least, Of acting against
the expressed wishes of their constitu-
ents. The proper thing for them to do is
to bow to the will of the majority and
give him their united support. Senator
Stewart is the acknowledged leader in
the free coinage movement at Washing
ton and to be returned by tho unanimous
vote of the Legislature Of his State,
would materially increase his influence
in Congress, by showing that the people
of Nevada regardless of party, are unit
upon the silver question, 1t will give
the lie to the assertion Of some OF the
third party papers that all Nevadans
who voted for Mr.. Harrison or Mr..
Cleveland are unfavorable to the silver
interest, and will set one Stote right in
the eyes of the friends Of the white
metal in the East. There is in fact every
reason why these Senators should cast
their votes for Mr.. Stewart, and not
valid one against it. Let them make the
vote unanimous"

DEAIH OF JAY GOULD.

Jay Gould, the great railroad magnate
and 6nsncier, died at his home in New
York city last Friday morning. He was
conscious until few moments before he
died. Pulmonary consumption was the
ailmcnt that carried him off. The
Wizard" as he was called, was born in
Rox bury, Delaware county, N. Y, May
81, 1896. The news Of his death was a
surprise in Wall street, for SO many times
has the report Of his death being spread
to effect stocks. His wealth is estimated
at 800, 100000. At the time of his
death he was in possession of
$4,000 miles OF railroad, about one
eighth of the entire railroad mileage of
the United, States. Truly, he was q
railway king His death at the early
age of 81 can be attributed to overwork.
He was a money gatherer and financial
terror, who was not troubled by COM
FUNCTIONS of conscience. He entered
the arena of finance with determine.
ton to "knock ont" all competitors,
and astonished the world by his sue
cesses. Novices in his line tried to COM
pete with him and failed, and then laid
their misfortunes and sorrows at his
door. Outside of his family there will
not be many tears shed to his memory.
The death of Jay Gould will undoubt'
eddy make changes in some of the roads
which he controlled, and especially the
Union Pacific. 1t would not be at all
surprising to see the Adams administra.
ton again in power.
