Grant of our age. If in earnest and
on the right side, he can forge n wea-
pom ont of public opinion that few
evils could resist, for he is in the posi-
ton to discern these dragons and
drive them from their hiding places"
Linked to thoughts like these, You
would glorify your work, and thrill
your columns with such power, that
the world would feel and own your
presence sin the midst" Temptation
in myriad forms, will assail you, to
lend your columns as agents of evil;
but give back the brave answer, that
Nehemiah gave from his place on the
wall, 81 am doing a great work; |
cannot come down."
The world needs you. 1t was this
helplessness that touched the heart OF
our Divine Teacher, dwelling Sin the
midst" of the Trinity. He came to
our sin laden earth, with the ministry
of His manhood, for the uplifting of
the same race of human beings that
claims yonr services tn. day.

We would like to have it stopped,
though it is a difficult case, as the
whisky is received by man and sold
by his wife. 1t is a great evil in our
community, and if you can assist us in
breaking it up we would be under many
obligations to you. The proofs could
be gotten easily before an impartial
court. Yours truly,

Judge Niles is no respecter of sex when
it comes to illicit whisky selling. At
the present term of court he sentenced
a white woman to Jail for 30 days and
fined her 500 for running blind tiger
in a South Mississippi county. He will
do the same with others if proved
guilty.

THE AGREEMENT.

lie, the undersigned, being profoundly i'm
pressed ciH the aggressive popcT Of the IL
gaor traffic and the Overwhelming erils, pc
Wicdl, industrial and moral, grocing ont Of
il, beliere that a strong influence tcOuld be er
erted upon public sentiment and a long step
taken torard the eradication Of those erils il
the enemies of the liquor traffic WOuld present
as united a front as the liquor dealers present
rhen their business is attacked. Ue there
fore agree TO rOte, at the Presidential election
IN 1892, for the candidates Of the PrOhibi-
ton Party for President and Ficc President,
proridcd the signatures Of one million rioters
be secured to his agreement
\ great many persons who endorse
the objects and aims of the Prohibit
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 1000, 200 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
mcnt 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 t. 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 Prohihi,

respective communities and begin
pushing it at once.

BrOtherly Kindness.

A New York paper says that a
young man had young sister by the
name of Jessie, who was sent to a
fashionable boarding SCHOOL, When
she went away, he remarked that he
hoped she would not acquire any OF
the affecta,ions so often learned in
such places.
For almost year he had no fault
to find upon this score. Then, came a
letter signed "Jessica, !" instead OF
Jessie. He replied as follows:

They know the part where the
butterflies of society find allurement
among the gorgeous blossoms of folly
and fashion, as we'll as where the
gurgling streams of comfort wind

Rev. Dewitt Talmage says of his
visit to the printing houses of New
York: "These are the boundaries
where the great thunderbolts of pub
lie opinion are forged. How the
wheels rush-all the worlds ncws
rolling over the cylinder like Niagara
at Table Rock. Great torrents of
opinion, of crimes, of accidents, of
destroyed regulations, of avenged
character. Who can estimate the
mightiness for good or evil, of daily
newspaper It's high time that good
men understood that the printing
press, is the mightiest engine OF all
the centuries.n The most forcible IL
lustration of this is to be found in the
recent conflict over tile Louisiana Lot
terry. Though championed by few
leading journals, as soon as the united
press poured its volley of condemna-
ton into the heart of this moral mon-
ster, lie lay PROSTATE OF your feet. SO,
no great corporation for good or evil
can exist without yonr leave.

THREATS FROM CHINA.
A San Francisco Paper Says that
China is Ready With Guns
and ShinS

SAN FRASCIsco, Gala, Oct. 22-The
Var Nee. n Chinese newspaper. publish
ed in this city. prints what purports ia
be mail summary of news from China
by the last steamers
Among the articles was one printed as
a supplement TO the paper and believed
TO be inspired by the Chinese Govern
ment and To be in the nature oi contiden
tial instructions To Chinese consuls In
the United States. II is suggested that
they make speedily and emphatically as
possible certain representations to Sena-
tors aud Congressman nj Washington.
The proposition advanced is that every
Chinese in this country is compelled by
the Geary law to register within year
with the alternative of gong to Jail and
being expelled from the United States
Concerning this proposition the article
rs translated. reads as follows.
China has plenty of wealth, plenty ol
guns and big ships of war of modern
construction and plenty OF soldiers
China is not afraid of the United States
and can cope with her in war But China
does not want to fight with the United
States, for there are many other means
of retaliation.
The article goes on TO state that the peo
pie Of the United States were nervous
after the New Orleans affair when it was
feared Italy might send warships to these
shores to demand satisfaction for the
slaughter of her citizens. and that the
United States began hastily to construct
battleships and guns China, il says, has
both, but the United States is not ready.
If the Chinese registration act is persist
ed in China will insist that American
residents in China shall register and wear
tags on penalty OF imprisonment and ex-
pulsion. China will also impose heavy
tax on American imports, particularly
flour and cotton.
Chinese Minister consuls and others in
the United States are instructed ID dwell
on the fact that this country has in years
past been friendly 10 China and afforded
protection 10 Chinese residents, but that
the change of sentiment as indicated by
the registration act has been brought
about by the Vaccinations of oiliceseek-
ers, who desire to curry favor with c,r-
tain class in the United States and event
ually obtain share in the control of
public affairs.

Mrs. Harrison is Dead.

WIFE SUCCUMBS TO
CONSUMPTION.
MOURNING AT THE WHITE HOUSE
In Which the Whole Country
Joins. \ noble Woman Gone.

Mrs. Harrison. the wife of Honorable
Benjamin Harrison, President of the
United States, died at 40 o'clock Tues
day morning, after a lingering illness oil
Consumption. She contracted cold
over a year ago. and afterward this was
aggrav ated by severe attack of the
grippe. Her health failed rapidly, and
became so bad that in May last il was
determined that she could not stand the
heavy air at the sea shore house at Cape
May Point, and that the mountain air
would prove more beneficial She was
removed TO The Adirondack Mountains
but did not improve much Three weeks
ago she was carried back TO Washington,
where she died in the White House,
surrounde hy her loved ones
Al twenty minutes of two, all the fami-
ly being at the bedside, Mrs Harrison
ceased breathing. She passed away so
peacefully that none could tell the mo.
ment when the last breath passed her
ups. hNAN was lCdlNtht lOOh Ol INi
wan face. The President turned from
the bedside in silent grief. DIR. Gardener
was not in the room when the end came.
lie was called in minute later, and for
mally confirmed the fact.
Mrs Harrison was 60 years of age the
first day of this month and was married
TO lawyer Benjamin Harrison on Octo-
Der Goth 1868. The happiness of their
lives. commencing from that date has
known no diminuiion nor change till
death came 10 separate them. Their fond
ness for their home and the pleasure
they took in their family circle and lis
simple joys filled their horizon and gave
an example of conjugal affection that all
the world is better for knowing about.
The prospects in life for the young
couple were not bright, as the world goes,
but they were full of hope. Their united
fortunes in love made them coniented,
and with happy hearts and willing hands
they crossed the threshold Of life's duties
together. Her greatest ambition was
realized when her loving husband was
elected President of the United States.
Mrs. Harrison made many friends in
Washington and to-day the Whole Amer.
lean people mourn with their chief ex-
ecutive in the irreparable loss he has sus-
tanned.
