JOSEPH DARTER.

Have you read what the New York
Herald has to say? Read:
What part will the Third Party have
to play in the coming Presidential cam
paign? This is the question that the
politicians are asking one another,
and the leaders of both parties are I'M
able to answer. There can be no deny
ing the fact that many. of the Southern
representatives are very much alarmed
at the activity and strength displayed
by the new element in national poll
tics. The Republican representatives
West and Northwest are also worried
at the outlook"
And the only sympathy Tom Watson
feels constrained to offer as palliative
of this general feeling of unrest or fear
is couched in the following words:
"The only consolation we can tender
the G. o. P. bosses is of the kind offer
ed by the negro foreman to his massa
on returning from tour of inspection
after a hail storm. The crap is ruined,
said the old man, but thank God massa,
it is general thing The great re-
form movement will show no distinc-
ton, gentlemen, but will destroy both
machines, with the utmost impartial
ty."

Speaking of Judge Gresham's prob,
able candidacy for the Presidency OF
the Peoples party ticket, the Times
Democrat editorially says. From our
Democratic position, Mr.. Gresham's in,
ability to accept a nomination is a
special cause for regret. He is sill
verite of the first water; and the splen-
did reputation he enjoys throughout
the country, coupled with his Third
party sympathies, would secure to him
pretty well every pronouncedly silver
State in the Union. That the
Peoples party will, any how, poll a
very large vote this year is becoming
more evident every day 1t and the
Alliance are practically one; and it
would not be astonishing if the Prohi-
bitiOn party at it's convention this
week were to seek to make a coalition
or fusion with it."

There we're two things of which the
Clarion was absolutely undmindful in
its depreciation of the Prohibition
movement. One was the interests of
the saloon keepers. Let them stand or
fall at the will of public sentiment,
dispassionately directed through the
channels of reason and sense of public
good. The other matter of which we
took, and take, no accounts, is the
handle made of what we did say by
that class who win bread by bad blood
whose one art and trade is stirring
up of neighborhood strife, who see in
Prohibition but an apt instrument for
political discord and final Third party

FARMERS READ THIS.

And see how party bosses and party
papers propose to treat those who dare
to think and act for themselves. Far.
mers have for years and years Loyalty
supported the Democratic party and
have furnished the votes that put the
party bosses in power Now this party,
through its bosses, proposes to meet
the Just demands of the impoverished
farmers, not with reason and pledges
of justice, but with burlesque and ridi-
Guile, and with these weapons it pro-
poses to down and rush farmers into
further servile submission to the die
tates of party bossism for IN indefinite
period. Every farmer who is a real
man will resent this gratuitious insult
TO his class with his unintimidated
vote.

We suppose those members of the
Mississippi delegation that voted
against the nomination of Cleveland
are feeling somewhat sore over it at thi.
time. When Cleveland was elected
President eight years ago, he placed
Mississippi's favorite son in his cabi
net, and afterwards appointed him tt
a position on the Supreme bench, ano
part of our delegation voted against
him at Chicago the other day. Is il
not ingratitude ?-Er.
While we have no desire to take
stock in a quarrel not our own it seems
to us that some of "Mississippi's dele
cation" are being subjected to an un
necessary amount of censure. II
Cleveland was the unanimous choice
of the convention, why did they not in
struct for him? Cleveland did not
appoint Mississippi's favorite son be
cause he was Mississippian, but be
cause he was considered the mos
available man in the whole field. Mis-
sissippi was and is under no specia
obligation to Mr.. Cleveland.

INGERSOLL's ELOQUENT WORDS.
A Passage That is Hardly Surpassed i'm
the English Language

a Passage That is Hardly Surpassed in
the English Language.
The following is Robert G. Ingersolls
beautiful description of the struggle
of life:
Born of love and hope, of ecstacy
and pain, Of agony and fear, of tear
and joy-dowered with the wealth of
two united hearts held in happy arms
with lips upon life's drifted font, blue
veined and fair, where perfect peace
finds perfect form rocked by willing
feet and wooed to shadowy shores of
sleep by siren mother singing soft and
low-looking with wonders wide and
startled eyes at common things of life
and day-taught by want, and wish,
and contact with the things that touch
the dimpled lash of babes -lured by
light and flame and charmed by color's
wondrous robes learning the use of
hands and feet, and by love of mimi
cry guiled to utter speech releasing
prison thoughts from Grabbed and
curious marks on soiled and battered
leaves puzzling the brain with crook
ed numbers and their changing, tangled
worth and so through years of alter
mating day and night, until the captive
grows familiar with the chains and
walls and limitations of life.
And time runs on in sun and shade,
until one of all the world is wooed
and won, and all the lore of love is
taught and learned again. Again a
home is built with the fair chamber
wherein faint dreams like cool and
shadowy wales divide the billowed
hours of love. Again the miracle of
birth the pain and joy, the kiss of
welcome and the cradle song, drowning
the drowsy prattle of babe.
And then the sense of obligation
and of wrong pity for those who toll
and weep, tears for the imprisoned
and despised, love for the generous
dead, and in the heart the rapture of
high resolve.
And then ambition, with its lust of
pelf, and place and power, longing to
put upon its breast distinction worth
less badge. Then keener thoughts of
men and eyes that are behind the smil-
ing mask of craft fiattered no more
by the Obsequious cringe of gain and
greed-knowing the uselessness of
boarded gold-of honor bought of
those who would charge the usury of
self-respect-of power that only bends
a towards knees, and forces from the
lips of fear the lies of praise Knowing
at last the unstudied gesture of esteem,
the reverend eyes made rich with hon
est thought, and holding high above
all other things singh as hopes great
throbbing star above the darkness of
the dead-the love of wife, and child
and friend.
The locks of gray and growing love
of other days, and half-remembered
things-the holding withered hands of
those who first held his, while over
dim and loving eyes Death softly
presses down the lips to rest.

The LEADER has but two brief com
ments to make upon an editorial which
appeared in last weeks Baptist Record
The first is, that the Record emphasizes
it's unfairness by studiously aroiding
all intimation that the article of Rev.
j. b. Gambrell, to which it refers land
which was published in the LEADER of
June 10TH, was offered to the Record
Itself and its publication refused, be-
fore 1t eUer appeared in the LEADER.
The second is, that had the Record
made the clear distinction about
preachers taking part in politics at
the outset which it made in its article
of last week, DR.. Gambrell's article
would doubtless never have been writ
ten.

FAIR PLAY.

II is hardly fair to class the
Third Party people i'm this State
as being opposed to white SUI
premacy. Such small ISLANDERS
lack q great deal of being argu.
ment. Since the adoption Of our
new Constitution there IL not the
slightest danger of white supre-
macy being jeOpardized. The
people may safely divide into as
many parties as they see tit. On
local affairs and the currency
they have perfect right to differ
with the Cleveland contraction-
lists. Ficksbarg Commercial Herald

The Democratic platform-makers
were hard pressed for argument when
they had to quote Republican Sena-
tor as authority against the Force bill.
That argument is self-answering. But
then the old parties are compelled to
get up a sham battle over something
TO divert the attention of the people
from the financial and other important
issues. and the Force bill is about the
best thing now in sight.

PROHIBITION DOCTRINE IN AN u
EXPECTED QUARTER.

The LEADER finds the following
sound Prohibition doctrine in the sixth
plank of the National Democratic plat
form:
We believe the worst evils
can be abated by law, and we demand
the rigid enforcement of the laws
made to prevent and control them,
together with such further legislation
in restraint of their abuses as expert
ence may show to be necessary.
That is what Prohibitionists believe,
and what they intend to demonstrate
before this government is many years
older.

Partyism?
Editor Mississippi Leader;
In a recent number of the State
Ledger, the editor jumps on the Demo-
cratic Congressman in Washington for
their stand in regard to reform legisla-
ton and condemns them in hearty
terms but winds up by saying that the
Democratic party is not to blame, but
the men. Now | would like to know
who makes the party. | know Demo
crptic principles are still unchanged,
but the party has left the principles to
the four winds of heaven and have
gone off after egotism and partyism.
But to the point as to exchanged Opln-
ion. In the State convention recently
held at jackson, of which am inform
ed Mr.. Henry was member, the follow
ing clause was adopted, to-wit: I'VE
arraign the Republican party for re-
versing this most harmonious and Just
order through the Mckinley bill, which
is an abuse of the taxing powers, favor
ing corporations and trusts and dis,
eliminating against the farming and
other industrial classes, compelling
them to buy in a protected market ana
sell in one open to the competition OF
the world. We condemn the so-calied
reciprocity policy of the RepnoliGpan
party. We condemn the NE,
publican party as characterized and
exemplified in its oppressive tarln ana
currency legislation, its outrageous
force bill, it's class legislation, and pro-
fiigate waste of revenues.
Now, Mr.. Editor, | want to be unaer,
stood in this. | am not trying TO snle ia
or protect the Republican party, nor a.. ao
/ favor any such legislation, but at tne
same time say if the Republican parry
is to blame for this, inst so mucn IS tI y
