New YORK, June 13-Only two more
weeks remain before the National Pro
hibition Convention. 1t is essential
that the total number of signatures to
the Million Voters Agreement report
ed at that time be as large as possible ;
therefore all Prohibitionists who have
obtained signatures during the special
two days set apart by the National
Committee or at any other time are
requested to send them in at once, and
then continue with renewed energy
and enthusiasm to secure more names.
The w. G. T. u. in several States is
taking active part in the work, and will
render valuable help before the cam
paign closes.
Miss Frances f. Willard writes:
IL hope our women will help all they
can in securing pledges. While we are
not voters, we can still, as patriots, do
our utmost to get the names of men
who will represent us at the polls.
There is nothing more simple, more
practical, or more full of common
sense"
The Prohibition League of the North
western University at Evanston, num-
bering 10 young men and women, has
raised $50 as prize for the one who
shall secure the greatest number of
names to the Million Voters Pledge by
the opening of the Fall term of the
University.
The work so far accomplished has
been excellent. The start is always
the most difficult. From now on the
work should go in with rush until
November. All at it

AxrNnIAsEn OPINION.

From the TupeIo Journal Bourbon DEM
Although the Journal and the MIS-
sTssI'PI LEADER are as far apart po-
litically as it is possible for two news
papers to be, we nevertheless admire
the consistency and ability displayed
in the management of the latter, and
cheerfully give place in our columns
to the following tribute to its zeal in
what it believes to be the right:
"THE MISSISSIPPI LEADER occupies a
unique and interesting position in Mis-
sissippi journalism. / have read il
with closest scrutiny from its initial
number to the present date, and it de
lights me to say that have found it to
be journal conscientiously and con
sistently holding patriotism superior
to party and the public veal above
political pelf. AS such it seems to me
that it commends itself with peculiar
and powerful earnestness to the sup
port of every lover of his State.
1.-THE clanking chains of party servi-
tude discarded, it is evidently laboring
zealously, and as only an independent
journal can, to enlighten public senti-
ment, awaken public thought and
arouse public action to the end that
the State and nation may be saved
from the twin evils of plutocracy and
the saloon.
II recognize the LEADER as being
honest, able and fearless -more could
not be said; and if its support be com
with its merit, it will surely
achieve a success as splendid as de-
served; and in future years its editor
be acclaimed Mississippi's pioneer in
the work of moral and political reform
upon which the honor, the prosperity
and glory of our common country so
depend

THOUGHTLEsSNESS OR PERvERsITY
WHICH?
Editor Mississippi leader


Editor Mississippi Leader:
A short time ago as | was travelling
on the Illinois Central Railroad, dis
tinguished Louisiana preacher sat just
in front of me. Last year had hap
pened to be at the annual meeting of
his church, and he had especially i'm
pressed me by his terrific denunciation
of the Louisiana Lottery, and the
strong sympathy he expressed fol, the
brave men of Louisiana who were lead
ing the fight against that monster in
iuuity. As is we'll known to all famll-
lar with that contest, the New Orleans
New Delta was the leading champion
of the anti-Lottery forces, by whose
brave efforts success was made possible
to the moral element in Louisiana, and
the debasing Lottery overthrown; while
the Times Democrat and Picayune sold
out soul and body to the corrupt gam
bling monopoly, and did not hesitate
to yillify and SANDER every good citl-
zen and preacher of the Pelican State,
if their Lottery boss commanded 1t.
Pretty soon a news boy came along
with all three of the leading New Or
leans dailies, and you may imagine my
silent establishment when l saw the
distinguished divine above referred to
buy both Picayune and Times Demo
crat and refuse New Delta; this, too,
in the face of the fact that besides be-
ing the leading champion of reform IN
Louisiana, the New Delta Is about the
equal of its morning rivals in news
and every other respect.
IL is sincerely hoped, Mr.. Editor, that
this is an exceptional case, and that
you, who are trying to give Mississippi
a fair, fearless and clean reform paper,
are not being left by those who profess
to sympathize with your efforts to hight
the battle single-handed and alone
while they bestow their patronage up
on others less deserving.
III Alliance men and Prohibitionists
| in Mississippi ever succeed. they VIII
have to follow the lesson long since
! taught by their opponents stand uI
! to those who stand up to them.

The Alliance MOurns the Death
of Its Great Leader.
He Died at Washington Last
Saturday.

WASHINGTON, June 11.-President l..
l.. Polk, of the National Farmers ALI
ance, died at the Garfield Hospital in
this city at Ills o'clock this morning.
The immediate cause was blood poison
ing, caused by bladder trouble, from
which Mr. Polk had suffered for many
years. The patient had been lying Sc
riously i'll at his private residence for
the past ten days. The result of a CON
sultation of physicians was his removal
to Garfield Hospital, where an opera
ton was deemed the only means of
saving his life. He became uncon-
sciOus yesterday afternoon, from which
condition he never rallied, and it was
decided not to perform the operation.
When the end came this morning Mrs.
Polk, who had just arrived in the city,
was at his bedside. kilograms from
all parts of the South have been re-
ceived inquiring as to Mr.. Folks con-
dition, and he has been daily visited
by prominent men of the Farmers AL
lance.
Col. Leonidas Polk was born i'm An
son county, n. c., in April, 1887, and
was brought up on a farm. He was
elected to the lower house of the North
Carolina general assembly in 1850; en-
tered the Confederate army in 1861 and
served with distinction during the war.
He was again elected to the North
Carolina assembly in 1865, and soon af-
ter was elected as delegate to the
constitutional convention of North
Carolina. In 1877 he was appointed
commissioner of agriculture. He be-
gan the publication of the Progressive
Farmer in 1886 and commenced organ
izing farmers clubs in his State. In
1877 he joined the Farmers Alliance
and was elected secretary of the
Farmers Alliance of North Carolina
at its first organization, which posi-
ton he continued to hold until his
death.
He was elected first vice-president of
the National Farmers Alliance Co
Operative Union of America in 1887,
and was reelected in 1888. At the con-
vention held at ST. Louis December 3,
1889, he was elected president of the
National Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial Union, which office he filled up to
the time of his death.

The LEADERS Vicksburg correspOn-
dent makes very serious charge
against District Attorney Henry, of the
Warren district. If guilty of what is
imputed to him, he is prostituting the
functions of his office and is unfaithful
to the trust reposed in him. 1t is the
business of executive officers to enforce
the laws to the best of their ability, as
they find them, and not sit in judgment
upon the acts of the legislative depart
ment of the State and practically null
lily Its laws. The LEADER hopes the
charges are unfounded.
