Political Landslidcs.

New YORK, Nov 1.-THE great Dem.
ocratic victory in the election Tuesday
is called a landslide by politicians
Such landslides are peculiar to Ameri-
can politics. They do not occur often.
There have been only three such events
since the formation of the government
The Democratic party is the only DO
litical party that has survived land
slide when it was on the under side of
the slide. When the Democrats get
tired rejoicing over the great victory
won last Tuesday; and when the Repub-
licans get tired wondering how it all
happened, they can find rest and
amusement in comparing it with SINH
lar events that took place fifty two and
forty years ago respectively. They will
find many interesting condolences
when they come to compare the three
great events in American politics. One
of the first that they will notice is that
Benjamin Harrison's grandfather, Viii
liam Henry Harrison, was elected pres
the one that defeated his grandson in
1892. Twelve years later the second
great landslide occurred and that one
was the beginning of the end of the
Wing party, which got crushing de-
feat in the election of 1852.
The Republican party is thirty years
old this fall. This party nominated
the candidates for president and vice
president for the first time in 1896
The Wing party was just thirty-six
years old when it ceased to exist. This
is another coincidence which may in
terest both Democrats and Republicans
just now. The Wing party was not in
power so long as the Republican party
had been but it died hard. 1t survived
the landslide of 1852, eight years, but
it was younger when the slide came
than the Republican party is to-day
It's youthful vitality kept it alive elght
years, but it was poor and helpless
sort of existence.
A feature of these political land
slides is that the candidates who were
on the wrong side of them were never
afterward elected to any important OIL
flee. Martin Van Buren,, who was con
sidered as something of politician IN
his day, was on the wrong side OF the
slide that carried Grandfather Harrl-
son into the White House. He after
wards became sort of standing candl,
date for president, but never got an
electoral vote. He was nominated
by the free soil party four years later
and by the know nothings, or Amerl-
can party, eight years atterWard' . puu
failed to carry a single State elther
time.
Gen. Winfield Scott went down under lder
the great Democratic landslide OF lo9z
along with the Wing party. The polltj,
ical landslides of 1910 and 1857 dlhereu
from the one this year, in that the sue; sue,
cessful candidates in those electlonss
got comparatively small majorittite ESQ, Of
the popular vote, while they had -FOUR "nI
fifths of the votes in the electoral cor
lege. But the three we're alike IN tnat
each was the work of the people ana ho'
of the politicians.

THE VALIDITY OF THE NEW CODE
AFFIRMED.

In an elaborate opinion recently
rendered by Chief Justice Campbell,
the Supreme Court has affirmed the
validity of Mississippis new Code.
The case came up on an appeal
from Sharkey County-Abijah Hunt
VS.. H. j. Wright, Sheriff aud tax-col-
lector of said county. The Sheriff re-
fused to accept a tender of 800 and is
sue Hunt a license to sell liquors in
quantities of not less than one gallon
nor exceeding five gallons, prescribed
as privilege tax upon said occupa-
ton by the acts of 1890, on the ground
that the act of 1890 had been super
coded by the dram shops" chapter of
the Annotated Code. Hunt thereupon
filed a petition for mandamus against
the tax collector to require him to re-
ceive the money and issue license.
To this the Sheriff demurred ON the
ground that petitioner had not com
piled with the provisions of the Ammo
tated Code, which, among other things,
required the payment of 500 for the
privilege of carrying on the wholesale
liquor business, and the demurrer
was sustained by the lower court and
petition dismissed.
The real issue presented by appel
liant was that certain specified consti-
tutional requirements had not been
complied with by the Legislature in
the passage of chapters 81 and 108 of
the Annoted Code, and also that there
is slight difference in the copy Of
the enforcing Act as poblished in the
Code, and the duplicate copy" on file
in the office of the Secretary of State.
The opinion by Judge Campbell
holds that the Legislature is supreme
in it's sphere; that the courts are not
custodians of the consciences of legis-
lators, and even if they violate their
oaths by failing to observe the consti-
tuition in matters relating to legislat-
i've procedure, their completed acts
are not subject to review, unless such
acts in themselves traverse the Con-
stitution.

sALooN.KEErER CLARK VS., THE w


We publish the decision of tho Su-
preme Court in this case, which We
have watched from the start, and with
all the facts, so that no injustice can
be done to any one; and now, with
great Difference, we wish to submit q
few suggestions:
We suppose there was no difference
of opinion and can be none, on the
merits. That the aloon-keeper did not
bring himself within. the law emitting
him to license, seems clear. The law
required that he should be a moral
man. For manifest reasons it forbids
the privilege he sought, to the hood
lums. He was certified to be of "Good
reputation" but until good reputa-
ton is the SYNONYM of morality unless
they both mean the same thing it is
clear that Mr.. Clark was not entitled
to license. The circuit court, looking
/ at tie lar and the merits of the case,
so decided. 1t is reversed because one
of the parties to the contest before the
Board as certain lady residents of
the district That they were quite as
much interested in the subject of CON
troversy from any and every point of
view, as any qualified voter could be,
Will not be questioned
But it is said i'll the descision that
"manifestly no one but qualified
voter of the district can contest with
the applicant" etc. This, we submit,
is to interpolate the law with an addi-
tional qualification. The law is plain,
that IF the application is contested
either party Ito that contest may APP
peal" Not parties to the voting on the
question, but parties to the contest be
fore tie Board. What right has the
court to say that this contest must be
between qualified voters, or a question
of whether the law shall be complied
with which protects the whole commu-
nifty? Now, so far as the contest as to
members on petitions is concerned, it
must be between qualified voters; but
when it comes to a question of a mani
fest violation of the law-the statute
is emasculated, interpolated and re-
pealed by this decision.
We submitted this view to a member
of the legal profession. "Oh. well"
said he, tine law is not an exact science
and the question is one that might be
decided either way"
If that be so-and perhaps it is so
it justifies the election of judges by the
people. Then we should always have
courts in sympathy with the law and
public policy of the State. Judicial
legislation would disappear, when there
was tribunal where judges, like all
other officers. would be brought to taw.

The Times-Democrat calls loudly for
the impeachment of Mayor Fitzpatrick
for siding with the strikers in the late
New Orleans strike. In it's issue of
last Sunday the I'D. contained the
following severe arraignment of the
recreant Mayor:
If ever an officer proved recreant to
the trust reposed in him-if ever the
Chief Executive of an American city
was disloyal to the people over whom
he was chosen to preside, John FitZ-
patrick is that man and that Chief Ex-
ecutive. The sentiment against him is
not confined to his political opponents,
nor is it the result of personal pique or
prejudice-it is as widespread as the
limits of the city, it pervades every
rank and condition; men of all parties
and of all creeds alike unite in his con-
demnation. We're he man of nicer
sensibilities, were he capable of appre-
ciating the depths to which he has fall
len in the estimation of the people of
this city, he would instantly and on
his own motion tender his resignation.
The I'D. and some other New Or
leans people are waking up to realiza-
ton of what many knew long ago, and
that is that the slums of cities do not
elect the best officials.

WHAT JEFFERSON WROTE.

Those shameless sharks ought to
think what Thomas jefferson wrote to
President Adams January "a, 1914, as
follows:
l have ever opposed money Of banks;
not of those discounting for cash, but
of those foisting their own paper into
circulation, and thus bsnishing our
cash. My zeal against those institu-
lions was so warm and open at the es-
tablishment of the bank of the United
States that / was derided as a maniac
by the tribe of the bank leechers. Shall
we build an altar to the old paper
money of the revolution, which ruined
individuals but saved the republic, and
burn on that all the bank charters,
present and future, and their notes with
them? For these are to ruin both the
republic and individuals.

REJOICING NOT TEMPERED BY WIS
DOM


The Democrats should have a care
and remember the fate of Belshazzar
and the Republican party and not
carry things too far. At Democratic
jollif1cation meeting at Starkville, the
Peoples party leaders are said to have
been hung in effigy. At Macon their
supposed bodies were publicly cremat-
ed with mock solemnity, while District
Attorney Nevill pronounced the funer-
al grafton. A similar unseemly exhi-
bition was announced to take place last
night at Kosciusko.
Republicans used to hang Democrats
in efflgy in Kansas and had everything
their own way. Eight years ago they
hung st. John in effigy and went
through much the same program that
has been repeated by these Mississippi
Democrats. The result has been more
Democrats and more Prohibitionists
in each case, and behold the Republi-
can humiliation to-day "Pride goeth
before destruction, and a naughty
spirit before fall" saith the wise
man. Seven years ago, the saloon men
of Brookhaven hung the editor of this
paper in effigy to a telegraph pole, but
in less than twelve months every
saloon had been driven from that
county never to return.
Let our Democratic opponents jubi-
late over their victory, but let them
temper their joy with becoming moder-
alton, remembering the homely old
adage that "Every dog has his day"

Miss1sslrrrs CONSCIENCE VOTE.

MISSISSIPPIS CONSCIENCE VOTE.

1856 One or more Prohibition party
votes were cast in every one of the y
counties heard from except the little
county of Green with its registered
vote of 353. Lincoln leads all other
counties with a vote of 60 for the cold
water candidates. Next comes Copiah
with "a, and third Carroll with 43

matter of special pride and encourage
ment to the LEADER that the two coun-
ties which gave the highest number of
votes for the purest, cleanest, bravest
and most loyal to right of ali parties,
are the two in which it has the largest
circulation of any other in the State.
Kinds, which is fourth in the list, comes
third in the number of LEADERS read.
But turning aside from this view of
the subject, we can but grieve that
there were so few Christian citizens
and PrOhibitionistS in Mississippi al
! together who were willing to renOunce
their allegiance to a party avOwedly in
! league with the saloon and boldly reg
! lister their convictions for the only ma
tional party that is pledged to its de
struction. Many doubtless voted the
Democratic ticket because they ap-
pretended that the autonomy of
the State itself was about to
be placed in jeopardy by the pas
sage of a force bill. which might
in that way be avcrtel; but as a matter
of fact, there never was a time after
the campaign opened when Cleveland
was not sure of Mississippi by large
majority, and consequently there was
no actual necessity from any stand
point for any man who wanted to vote
a Prohibition ticket, doing violence to
his conscience by voting with the
whisky party.
But Mr.. Cleveland's election, after

have happened, under the circum-
stances, for the ultimate promotion OF
Prohibition. While for the time being
it enthrones the saloon and a whisky
party. it is the death-knen to section
alism, North and South, which means
much. When the best citizenship OF
this great country-the true Americans
North and South, East and West-are
brought together and see things just as
they are, face to face and eye to eye,
the infamous liquor traffic will be about
the next thing that will have to go.
This is our philosophy and oul
prophecy, and hence we buckle on our
armor for renewal of the battle.

1t is matter for profound congrat-

sissippian, we can reflect with supreme
pride and qualification, that during the
late campaign in this State as well as
on election day, not a single homicide
or serious row of any kind occurred
having its origin in politics. That one
fact speaks volumes to the honor OF
Mississippi. Verify, old things are
passing away.

known as the "Davis Monumental
Committee" composed of one comrade
in each State to have control of the
matter. This committee appointed sub
committees of five each, for each State
and Territory of the late Confederate
States. They decided to put the mon
ument in Richmond, the capital of the
Confederacy and the final resting place
of the remains of Mr.. Davis. The
amount to be raised is s25o,0OO, the
