A cArL mo- rrnLIc nurY.

What Judge Campbell said in his
speech before the Confederate veterans
here on the 18th inst, on the import
ance of exalting society and subordi-
mating individualism, is worthy of all
acceptation and praise. They are
brave words, truly and fitly spoken.
One of the grandest monuments to
the character of the late Col. L. l..
Polk, President of the National Far
mer's Alliance land one we have not
seen mentioned in the many tributes
paid him since his DEATH, was the
homage paid by him to the very doc
trine Judge Campbell 50 eloquently
and forcibly pleads for. Having prov
ed his patriotism and his courage on
score of bloody battlefields during the
war, last year about this time he was
set upon and slandered for political
reasons by certain jackals of the press
in his native State. Replying through
his own paper with facts, to their com
plete discontinue, they then resorted
as the liar and bully generally does
when beaten in the argument to per-
sonal denunciation and insulting and
epithet--and had it proclaimed in the
public press that Folks own personal
friends said he must challenge his
traducers to deadly combat, or be dis
graced and go branded forever after as
"a feather-leg"
To a man of true and conscious
physical courage, it was a moment of
supreme temptation; but Col. Polk
remembered at that moment that he
was Christian gentleman and patriot;
that he was President of the Baptist
State Convention of North Carolina
and of the great Farmers Alliance of
the Nation; that he had taken solemn
oath to support the Constitution and
laws of his country and he exercised
that courage that is grander and nobler
than mere physical courage and dared
to do right in the face of perverted
public sentiment such as Judge Camp
bell so justly condemns, and treated
the men who were bounding him with
the contempt they deserved.
Did this honoring of the laws of
God and his country hurt Polk? No
thousand times no! His memory
and example will live and be ems hrined
in the hearts of his countrymen when
his traducers are buried and forgotten
in everlasting oblivion.
Mississippi has long needed clear
bugle call to public duty, from high
civic station, such as Judge Campbell
sounds. AS he asks, "Where can it
look with such hope and confidence as
to it's veterans ?" and, we may add, to
its press? 1t is easy for coward to
do wrong and drift with the tide, but
it requires moral heroes to speak right
and act right in public and in private
life, when public sentiment itself is
wrong.

Hon. J. II. Jamison has withdrawn
from the Congressional race in the
4th district, subject to the action Of
the Democratic party. In his card of
withdrawal he says:
Since the death of the silver bill
in the House of Representatives, /
am convinced the policy of the party
will be shaped and moulded and con
trolled by and in the interest of Wall
street upon all questions of finance.
/ have always been Democrat, stood
by the nominee and never scratched a
ticket. but / have never knowingly been
a henchman of Wall street and never
expect to be- The Democracy in which
was cradled and that have always
advocated, is government OF the
people, for the people and by the peo5
pie.

We score big credit mark to the
Clarion for its masterful reply in Sun
day mornings issue to the article of
the Chickasaw Messenger, in which
the Messenger applauded the Vicks-
burg military for an alleged violation
of their orders to protect certain pris-
onersi in the county Jail. If the press
generally would speak out as the Clar-
ion does in this instance, there would
be less lynch law and altogether a
higher and healthier sense of honor
and public duty.

l was hopeful that l might be instru-

the Democratic party and preserving
the unity of the white people of Missis-

mind the utter futility of any effort l
might put forth to attain these desired
results, and therefore tender through
you my resignation to the Executive
Committee. With great respect, am
yours truly,

Call for a Mass Meeting at Raymond
saturday, July 23rd.
The following is the copy of call
being circulated and extensively signed
by the voters of Kinds county:
CALL.
The undersigned, having found by
experience and education that the peo-
pie who labor, and by that labor pro-
duce all the real wealth of the country,
have not been permitted to hold and
enjoy fair share of what they have
produced and having become satisfied
that the only permanent relief that
can be expected must come through
legislation, and that legislation will
come only through party organization
for definite purpose; and looking
upon the preamble and platform
adopted by the Industrial Conference
at st. Louis as the best declaration of
our political demands, do hereby call
a mass meeting of all citizens of Kinds
county, Saturday, the 23rd day of July,
1891, at IL a. m, in the town of Ray
mond, without distinction as to previ-
Gus political affiliations, for the pur-
pose of organizing Peoples party
which is founded upon the principles
of equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none.

but little more Cnan One-Cnlfd OF
| the National drink bill.
And all of this is only part of the
question Under the bonded ware
house and high license system, the liq-
uor traffic has become the richest, most
corrupt, arrogant and dictatorial mo-
nopoly in the nation and both old par
ties are down on their knees before it
at every election, national State or
municipal, bidding against each other
for its support.
OF the moral aspect of the question,
we need not here speak at length. With
National ticket in the field which
represents uncompromising hostility
to the gigantic evil, no Christian pa
triot can long hesitate as to what is
his duty in the premises. We shall
support and vote for that ticket.
We cannot but regret that the Ma
tional Convention of the Peoples party
did not take the same action ON this
question that the Prohibition Conyen-
/ ton did As reform party, it was
clearly in the line of its duty. We
must attribute the failure more to ex-
cess of zeal on other issues and lack of
information on what is involved in the
liquor question among the rank and
and file of that party, than to lack of
sympathy for Prohibition, and we con-
| fidently believe in four years more,
both of the young reform parties will
get together on a prohibition platform.
So far as Mississippi is concerned,
the Peoples party in this State having
declared for Prohibition, the LEADER
and its editor will heartily unite with
them In electing men TO Congress in
favor Of this and the other great re-
Eforms they seek, and ii earnestly urges
and hopes every other true and sim
cere Probibitionist will do likewise.
