The editor of the LEADER took a run
over to Newton last Friday evening
and returned Saturday morning. A
talk on Prohibition he expected to de

prevented by the threatening weather

Newton is the most progressive and
prosperous town on the V. & M. Rail.
road between Jackson and Meridian
though many we knew there II years
ago have either moved away or passed
to their last account. The town has a
fine graded public school, three good
churches, about IA dozen or fifteen sub
stantial business houses, a good local
and religious newspaper, two good no
tells, Masonic hall, etc.
There is a strong Prohibition and
Temperance sentiment in the town and
county. Recently a man conceived
the idea of establishing a distillery
near Newton. The good people be
came aroused, called a county meeting
and took such summary action as to
convince him that he had better
promptly abandon the enterprise
which he agreed to do.
We are specially indebted to our old
and esteemed friend Mr.. A. J. Brown
the leading hotel man of Newton and
one of its most enterprising and pub
lie spirited citizens, for courtesies ex-
tended during our short visit.

100000 pRoHi. VOTERS.
The Agreement Plan for Sc
curing That Number.
Now is the Time to Push the
Scheme i'm Mississippi.

What is known as the Million Voters
Agreement for securing 100000
voters pledged to vote the Prohibit
toin party ticket in the presidential
election of 1892, is already familiar to
many readers of the LEADER. 1t was
originated by the Voice last fall, and
has grown in favor with Prohibition
ists throughout the country from the
day of its publication. The plan has
met with the hearty endorsement of
Chairman Dickey aud every>member
of the National Prohibition Party Ex-
eeutive Committee. The committee
now has active supervision of the
work and is pushing the agreement in
all of the States.
Agreement blanks are furnished
free, and the names, as they are sent
in, are counted and audited under the
supervision of two members of the
Prohibition party, and well known
member each of the Democratic, Peo-
pies and Republican parties, to insure
perfect fairness.

The following is
THE AGREEMENT.

We, the undersigned, being profoundly I'M
pressed ,Cih the aggressive poWer Of the IL
quOr traffic and the Overwhelming erils, pc
titical, industrial and moral, grOping out Of
it, belieUe that a strong influence rOald be er
erted upon public sentiment and long step
taken tOrGrd the eradication Of those eriis if
the enemies Of the liquor traffic would present
as united a front as the liquor dealers present
ThcR their business is attacked We there
fore agree 10 roie, at The Presidential election
ia 1892, for The candidates Of the Prohibi
Ito" Party for President and yice President,
prorjded the signatures Of one million rioters
be secured to his agreement.
A great many persons who endorse
the objects aud aims of the Prohibi-
ton party, hesitate to vote for its can
didates because they regard it as a
vote thrown away. Here is the OPP
portunity to enter into an agreement
with 200, 900 other voters in advance
of the election, to vote for candidates
representing Prohibition principles.
If the million signers are not secured
no one is bound by the agreement.
With that many pledged votes, it
would give an impetus to this move
ment which would insure it the bal
ance of power in this years contest
and give it control of the government
in 1896.
Agreement blanks can be had free
on application to the LEADER, the
Voice, of New York, or the National
Prohibition Executive Committee, and
when signed, they can be returned to
either, and the names will be correct
ly recorded by the committee having
that duty in charge.
So far, very little effort has been
made in Mississippi. Let Prohibi-
tiOnists and members of the w. c. T.
U. take the matter i'll hand in their
respective communities and begin
pushing it at once.

MALIGNANT ABUSE.

The Gdze'tS, not content with abusing The members of the Mexican band indi- vidually, now jumps upon them as a race, and uses such language as "black- faced hyenas" and "black-skinned pail sanos."
 This wholesale abuse of a respectable and reputable class of people naturally aroused much indignation, and was de- nounced on the streets yesterday by the people generally, irrespective of race. As TIE REPUBLICAN has before stated some of the very best and most intelli- gent men and women of Phoenix have Spanish blood in their veins, and when q newspaper refers to them as "black- faced hyenas" it is high time the editors of that paper were given to understand that that class of journalism has had it's day in Phoenix.
 The free use oi epithcts like these may have constituted very able editorial work in the early days; but happily the fish monger editors in Arizona became obso. lete with the retirement Of the Apache "''N 'iV 'boE' iDODct llolh ttLlFt ultN, and the attempt of the GGeeHs Co per retuate it in these more advanced times will not meet with encuarGrrmcut.
 "Whom the Gods would destroy they first make mad, aud inc Gazette drove several nails in its coffin yesterday when 1t referred to the Mexican people as "black-iaced hyenas" and "black- skinned paisanos," and whi,e the Ga,ette must take the responsibility for this wild-indeed maniacal-utterance, yet TnE RErCBmCAN depIores the fact that so abusive an attack has been made in public print upon class of people composing 80 large and important an element in the population of Arizona.
 People in the east reading these statements will be deterrcd from com ing to Arizona. It is generally known that large percentage oi our popula. tion Is Mexican, and who will want to locate where there are thousands of "hlack faced hyenas?"-

 One day last week Mir. John Eckles, of Stafford, accompanied by Miss Mollie Trimm, came to the county seat for the purpose of securing license to get married. Judge Blake did not happen to be in his office that day, but Frank Dysart kindly furnished them with n blank, and the couple started on still hunt for the judge. They discovered that officer in one of his fields at Sal. ford, where the threshing machine was at work. They bounced upon the judge and took him so by surprise, that he procured pen and ink from the near. est farm house, filled out the license and married them in the open air at the rear end of the machine in such short space of time that the threshing boys did not realize what was going on until the ceremony was completed. - Graham County Bulletin.
