Government Railroads.

In Hungary, under government
ownership of railroads, the rates are
so low that it costs only $l.92 to
travel a distance equal to that be-
tween Chicago and New York. A
system of tickets somewhat like
postage stamps has been adopted,
which travellers can use on all lines,
and with which freight can also be
prepaid. The saving is enormous,
and the people get the full benefit of
it. In this country the ticket,
freight and advertising agencies
which competing railroad companies
are employing cost over 5000, O0O,-
900 year. The princely salaries
and "pickings" of presidents, d.
rectors, contractors and host of
parasites, amount to fully an equal,

Cure for the Tobacco Habit.

1t is called NO-TO-BAC and is
guaranteed to cure the tobacco hab-
it in every foIm; not for the reason
that it makes tobacco taste bad, but
because it acts directly upon the
nerve centers, destroying the nerve
craving effects, preparing the way
for discontinuance without incon-
venience. NO-TO-BAC stimulates,
builds up and improves the entire
nervous system. Many report a
gain of ten pounds in as many days.
NO-TO-BAC is sold by druggists
generally or sent by mail for price.

if not larger sum. Then comesthe

tered. For all this the people pay.
1t is safe to say that of the gross
earnings over $500, 600, 900 would be
saved to the people by government
ownership and operation of national
highways.
The Belgian government took
charge of the railroads Of that coun-
try in 1865. The first eight years
the tonnage increased over one hum
dred per cent receipts almost fifty
per cent. and saved the people in re-
duced rates, 1000, 900, after pay
ing profit to the government of ST.
100000 From 1870 to 1873, accor-
ding to the latest reports at hand,
the receipts increased l64 per cent,
with the very best service and man.
agement in the world still in vogue.

You are the fellow that am after
in this article. / mean the fellow
that is stricking at mis- boss to get
higher wages. Let me put flea in

to crack. The first nut that desire
you to crack is termed railroad
nut. 1t is about this size The to-
tai stock and bonds Of the railroads
of the United States is, in round fig
ures, $4,000, 100000. The annual
interest on this sum is $50, 900, 900.
Now, the fellows that get this in
terest don't run great many loco
motives, don't fire great many en-
gines, don't do great deal of brak-
ing, nor have many fingers cut off
coupling cars. There amt many OF
them that lose work that is actually
needed in running these railroads.
They don't pretend to do that.
They simply say that this is their
capital that is working for them
while they sit down and watch the
railroad boys do the work. Now,
how shall we raise the wages of the
railroad boys? Why, if these fel-
lows don't do any work, what is the
matter with dispensing with them?
Amt that what the employer does F!
When he has no more work, when
he finds fellow sitting around draw
ing pay when he don't earn it, he
simply discharges. Now, suppose
that we discharge this class of
workmen on the grounds that they
are not needed. Now, think that
we hear some fellows say, How are
you going to do that +? Well, we
will take, as a case Of illustration,
the United States postoffice. The
postmaster. general says in his last
annual report that he did over $67,-
OOO, 1000 Of business last year; that
he employed over 100000, peo-
pie; that his establishment has been
over one hundred years, and
that he has never had strike in the
establishment. He also informs us
that there are no drones drawing 6
per cent. interest upon the bonds or
stock representing the plant. If the
railroads were run by the same
source, the $3.50, 900, 900 would be
divided between the people who
patronize the road and those who do
the work. Ralph Beaumont.

The following, relative to the
Peoples candidate for governor, we
clip from the Haven Kas. indie
pendent:
Editor-o the Independent
DEAR SIR: gladly comply with
your request to give few words OF
personal testimony to the character
of the Peoples Party nominee tor
Governor.
l had the pleasure Of receiving
Mr.. L. d. Lewelling and his family
into the membership of the Fourth
Congregational church of Wichita
when l was pastor there.
The church was one Of the new
est and weakest in the city, and
nothing but the highest and most
unselfish motives could have led
him to join us. Since then, l have
become quite intimate with him, and
know much of his inner life and the
motives that inspire him.
He was born and raised Quaker,
and has in him still a strong vein OF
the religious fervor Of that church.
He is never so interested or so
eloquent as when dwelling upon the
religious phase Of coming reforms,
in which he believes the Holy Spirit
is leading the minds of men. In.
deed he would have entered the
ministry long ago had it not been
for some theological dogmas which
he could not accept. He is a. deep
student of history, and of present
economical questions. A real prac-
tical, and not merely theoretical,
Brotherhood of God and Brother
hood of Man." is the foundation OF
his plans for all reforms.
He is as far removed as possible
from the rantankerous demagogic
reformer whose strongest motives
are excitement and notOriety.
One proof Of the purity OF his
politics is the fact that he made alb
solutely no effort whatever for the
nomination, and did not even know
that his name would be presented
until a few days before the conven-
tion met.
Lewelling is poor man, and If
he makes vigorous canvass at his
own expense it will about bankrupt
him.
As to his position on the great
questions of the day, his own
speeches are the best. witness, and
as to the merits Of the reforms
which his party proposes, each must
Judge for himself.
Iwish merely to bear testimony
to the personal character OF one
who is appealing to the suffrage of
the state.
l have known Mr.. Lewelling for
five wears, and can testify that he is

DON'T KNOW THE WARTS OVER.

The SOuthernism of many who have
gone over, or thought of going over to
the Peoples party will rise up within
their breasts between now and NOvem-
rand. like Mr. Talbert, cause them
to subordinate disappOintmentS to the
object of defeating the Republican
party.-The Clarion.
In other words. more than - years
after Lee surrendered at Appomattox,
SOuthernism (which is only another
name for SectiOndliSm) is relied on as
the chief incentive for Mississippians
remaining in the Democratic party;
just as the infamous Republican party
relies on appeals to sectional prejudice
to keep the North solid and thus per-
petuates sectional strife.
There are two new parties in this
country (the Prohibition and Peoples
People's) that believe and have declar-
ed that sectional strife should end, and
that this should be one Nation in fact
as we'll as in name.
And after awhile there will be a
double political funeral, and the two
old sectional parties will be the corpses,
and they will be buried in the same
grave, face downward, according to the
creed of the Saducees, who did not be-
lieve in the doctrine Of the resurrection
Selah
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1892-08-18

A short time ago DR.. J. B. Gambrell
was in jackson and was eagerly sought
out by a reporter Of the Clarion, and
his statement that he thought Cleve-
lands chances of election good, pub
hshed with great eclat. Afterward it
was extensively telegraphed and quot
ed in the Democratic press. In his
splendid article in last weeks LEADER
DR.. Gambrell said he believed Cleve-
land would be elected, but he said a
good deal more. He said mo Christian
man ought to vote the Democratic
ticket" and gave good solid reasons
for it. The Clarion and other Demo
cratic papers have never heard of the
article. Some of the local newspaper
correspondents telegraphed report of
it to the big dailies but it was put aside
as undesirable matter" In other
words, the Democratic press unite in
"a conspiracy of silence" in matters of
this kind.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1892-08-18
Mississippi's new Constitution was

Mississippi's new Constitution was
framed to make it possible to have fair
and honest elections in Mississippi,
and for the whites to divide as they
please ON political questions, without
jeopardizing white supremacy. This
it has DONE Senator George himself
is authority ON this point.
Among the many excellent provisions
of the article on the elective franchise,
is the following, taken from section
249:
Registration under the
Constitution and laws of this State Shy
the proper officers of this State, is
hereby declared to be an essential and
necessary qualification to vote at any
and all elections"
Right under that we quote what the
Supreme Court Of Mississippi said in
an opinion delivered the latter part of
May in the case of Robt. Sproule vs. +.
"A. Fredericks, in the contested election
case from Warren county:
"The regulation of the right of suf-
frage belongs to the State, and the only
limitation thereon to be found in the
Constitution of the United States, or
the latest amendments thereto, will be
found in the prohibition Of discrimi-
nation against persons on account OF
race or color. 1t is an idle consump-
ton of time to talk of this as at all
doubtful. The Supreme Court of the
United States has more than once at
firmed t.nal,ar - sahl. 9tti
In view of facts and figures like the
above, the twaddle SO popular in GER
tain quarters that Mississippians must
vote for the candidates of the New
York plutocracy and the National
Whisky Ring, or submit to force bill
and negro domination, doesn't arise to
the dignity of respectable nonsense. 1t
Is worse. It is an insult to intelligence
and reason iisek~ is 81
