An Interesting Suit.

Judge Cooper, one of the Supreme
Judges of the State, last week institut-
ed what is likely to prove one of the
most interesting suits ever instituted
in this State against railroad in Mis-
sissippi. The suit is against the Ala
bama & Vicksburg railroad. He pur-
chased ticket to Columbus, paying
therefor four dollars and thirty cents.
When he went to the depot he found
the train five hours late, and the bulle-
tin board failed to state the fact, as re-
quired by law. He asked the agent to
refund the amount. The agent refused,
telling him he had no authority, but
would correspond with the officials.
The suit is for the amount of the tick
ct, interest and costs. A complaint
was also lodged with the railroad COM
mission on account of the failure to
bulletin the train.

pr,,eher. and The women I'm Politics.

4 Preachers anu women
Yes, they are there to stay unless
they skirk duty or go back on Mr..
Wcbster's definition Of politics. He
says: "Politics is the science of gov
eminent; that part of ethics which
consists in the regulation and govern
ment of a nation or State, for the
preservation of its safety, peace and
prosperity: the protection of its citi-
zens in their rights, with the preserva-
ton and improvement of their morals"
Preachers and women are citizens and
have as much interest in the protec-
ton of our civil rights as any other
class of citizens, and feel deeper in
terest in the protection of religious
rights and the improvement of morals
than any other class. Why should they
not be permitted to use their influence
in private and public, in the pulpit and
out of it, for the maintenance of their
civil and religious rights and the inn
provement of morals? Some of us
who lived 60 or 10 years ago when
preachers did not preach politics much
and women did not speak in public,
and men and women sat in separate
seats in church, are slow to realize
and accept the change that has taken
place these latter days. We fail to
realize that Christian duties multiply
as the years roll by, and change of
circumstances often requires change
of methods. We then innocently
thought that our statesmen we're hon
est. and that our liberties, civil and
religious, as well as the improvement
of our morals, were safe in their hands.
But alas! we wake up to find that If it
was true then, it is not now. We find
in our midst an institution, the liquor
saloon, to say nothing of other abuses,
licensed and fostered by our law max
ers and our government, that antagon-
ICES every interest and is the greatest
demoralizer the devil ever invented.
God knows better than man the means
and methods of destroying the works
of the devil, and Judging from what |
have read and what see, the greatest |
instruments used by him for the pull |
ing down of the strongholds of Satan |
are the preachers and the women. So |
l bid them God-speed, and say let God |
lead them. not man. We should not |
say that preachers ought not to
preach politics because they did not do
it in former days. or that women should
not speak in public or take any part in
politics because our mothers and wives
did not do it, They did what seemed
to them to be right as the women are
now doing.

1t will be remembered by our readers
that Byron Lemly, one of the druggists
of this city who sold alcohol without
first paying the license tax, and was
indicted and convicted at the January
term of court, appealed his case to the
supreme court. 1t was there dismissed
because the penalty was not pronounc-
ed in the case by the circuit court. In
the meantime the Legislature had been
appealed to and passed law which
was apparently intended to relieve all
the druggists who had sold alcohol
from the penalty which the circuit
court held was attached to the offense.
When the case was called at this term
this law was plead as bar to any further
proceedings, and as being in the ma
ture of a pardon, but the circuit court
held, that the statute, as passed, only
relieved the defendants from the Ii
cense tax which they had incurred, and
not from the penalty of fine or impris-
onment, and sentenced Lemly to pay a
fine of $780, He will again appeal, and
it will constitute test case in all the
alcohol cases.

should not be on Both at the Same Time

Should not be on Both at the Same Time.
There was touch of pathos in the
exhortation of Rev. Mr.. Sproles, when
in his sermon last Sunday he urged the
members of his congregation not by
word or deed to forward the liquor
traffic. II beseech you in the name OF
my Lord and Master" said he. 1t was
purely incidental to the main subject
of his address, which was salvation
through the unmerited favor of God,
as distinguished from the heresy of at
tanning salvation by doing good works.
Urging, however, the obligation especi-
ally laid on those who had been led out
of darkness into the marvellous light,
to do good works, be affirmed, that good
works meant more than mere benevo-
lence and gifts to the unfortunate, and
abstinence from breaches of the law.
He should be good citizen, and with
out passion, but with emphasis he add
ed, that no mans name should be on a
liquor petition and the church roll at
the same time. AUDITOR.

THE CLARION AND THE DRAmsuors.


calling of local option election which
the people of Kinds county will hest
tate long before entering which moth.
ing indeed could Justify in either a
moral or material light, except such
evil and corrupting Identification of the
saloon interest with the civil admins
tration, as brought on the former 10 cal
option contest, and which led or
amounted to the elevation of the sa-
looms above the law. No such intoler-
able condition exists or calls for re-
dress now, in jackson. Sunday
mornings Clarion.
AS the whisky men of Jackson
themselves and the negroes of the
county, who had been quietly organized,
brought on the last local option cleo
ton in Kinds courtyard without pro-
test from the Ciarion.-it is fair to as
sumo that it refers to the local option
election of 1886. If so, what it says
amounts to self -condemnation. Every
good citizen of Kinds county remem-
bers what was involved in that contest.
The saloon-keepers and few bad men
marshalled the negroes, who then con-
stituted a majority of the voters of the
county, and not only attempted in that
way to perpetuate the liquor traffic,
but get in position to dominate the
politics of the county by negro ballots.
If there was ever time in Kinds coun-
ty since 1875 when white supremacy
trembled in the balance that was the
time. The Clarion of to-day being
judge, there was then an "evil and
corrupting Identification of the saloon
interest with the civil administration
that amounted to the eleva-
ton of the saloon above the law"
But where was the Clarion at such
perilous time as that? Perched upon
the fence in an assumed attitude of
bold neutrality, but in fact, in ill-con-
cealed sympathy with the combination
which it now admits was an "evil and
corrupting Identification of the saloon
interest with the civil administration.
These may be disagreeable reminis-
cences, but as the Clarion took the
initiatory in the "reminiscences business,
the LEADER hopes it will be pardoned
for the indulgence.
But is it true, as the Clarion asserts.
that no such intolerable condition las
it describesl exists or calls for redress
now, in Jackson?
When the saloon keepers of Jackson
can call a special meeting of the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen to avert the
provisions of an impending law and
beat the State out of $500 in license
money in one afternoon; when they
can call another meeting and have a
license granted more than a month be-
fore it is needed to supersede an old
license, in order to circumvent the pro-
visions of the same law; when a major
ity of that board are members in good
and regular standing of some one of
the Christian churches of this city and
are under no obligation, religious,
moral or legal, to grant a liquor license,
though petition therefor be
signed, not only by all the
hoodlums, but all the other citizens of
the town,-we answer no, a thousand
times no! The former condition and
present, which the Clarion justifies, is
too near alike to split hairs over, and
the saloon should go as it did once be
fore, and never to return!
