Theories About Droyvno1 po,,..

1t was popular theory in days gone
by that the body of drowned man
would float the ninth day, a notion
which, Mr.. Henderson informs us, pre-
walls in the county of Durham. Sir
Thomas Browne alludes to it as believed
IN his time, and in his "Pseudo-doxia
Epidemics" there is discussion on this
fanciful notion. 1t was also believed
that the spirits of those drowned at sea
were doc to wander for 100 years,
owing to tes of burial having never
been properly bestowed upon their
5odies.-Notes and Queries.

straight Talk From Chairman Henry
Editor Mississippi Leader:
Much has been said about the union
of the Prohibition and Peoples parties.
I wish to say that the Prohibition party
will never unite with any party that
has not strong Prohibition plank in
its platform, nor can any man claiming
to be a Prohibitionist give his support
to Cleveland, Harrison nor Weaver
without contradicting himself The
Prohibition party in Mississippi having
no Congressional nor State ticket i'm
the field, can consistently vote for a
good Prohibition candidate brought
out by any party. All things being
equal, we can and will give preference
to the Peoples party candidate for
Congress or State officers, "a the Mis-
sissippi Peoples party has declared in
favor of Prohibition. Thanks be to
the great Ruler of events, the old par
ties that inaugurated the civil war, and
after peace was restored, took advan-
tage of the prejudices engendered be-
tween the North and South. and for
party supremacy and plumber, have
continued to stir up dead issues and
have fostered moneyed monopolies and
the rum power to the great injury Of
our nation and people are fast losing
their hold on the people, and we are
thinking seriously of voting our con-
victions-not for party nor men, but
for principle. We are thinking of some
facts along this line, viz-The greatest
issue before the American people is the
prohibition Of the liquor traffic. An
other is that this greatest OF all issues
is ignored by all the parties except the
Prohibition party. Another fact is
this: Take the country, North and
South, all the churches and all the po-
litical parties, and we find more people
agreed in sentiment on this issue than
on any other that was ever before the
American people. This settles the
question that the liquor business must
go. 1t would be gone now, if Christian
men had voted as they prayed. We are
beginning to SEQ that to look for pro-
hibition through anti-prohibition par
ty methods, such as high license and
local option. is an absurdity and our
conscience demands that we look to
God and vote the Prohibition ticket,
party or no party. III l was a Demo
crat, Republican, or Peoples party
man, ! would say,"Lie there, old parties,
while vote as pray-for Prohibition"
The people Of this nation are deciding
to obey conscience, and vote for Pro-
hibition rather than be led by corrupt
whisky parties. Politicians and office
seekers may howl over the Force bill,
the tariff reform and the silver bill, but
cursed will be the party that will blind
and lead the people from doing right.

WHAT MEANS 1T 4.

What means this frequent coupling
of Frank Burkitt's name with that of
the despised Ames by John Allen, the
Clarion and others! Is it to arouse
prejudice and incite political assassin
alton! Truth is truth and justice is
justice. The Democratic leaders in
this State might well weigh their words
and go slow. They are not dealing
now with negroes and carpet baggers.
They are confronted by white Missis-
sippians, who know their rights, and,
knowing, dare maintain them. They
ought to. have care or they may
precipitate conflict they cannot quell.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1892-09-22

In the absence of positive proof, the
LEADER would remind the public, that
the dispatch copied in the Clarion of
Tuesday from West Point, to the effect
that Frank Burkitt had been knocked
off the platform senseless in Chickasaw
county by a Democrat named Frank
Neal, for denouncing Neal as ballot
box suffer, and that Burkitt's friends
then raised a $50 purse and hired body
guard to accompany him over the dis
trict armed with Winchesters and army
revolvers-we would remind the pub
lie, we say, that this dispatch was sent
out from the the same place, and pre-
sumably by the same falsifyer who
published that the Peoples party dis
trict convention in the first and fourth
districts passed resolutions condemn
ing Cleveland and eulogizing Harri-
son, and in which statement there
was not so much as one grain of truth.

The Nominee In the Sixth

By reclamation Mr.. 7. N. Jackson. of
Amite county, became the nominee OF
the Reform party for tho Sixth Dis
trict OF Mississippi, on the Sth Of Sep
TENDER, at McComb City.
The nomination was forced upon Mr..
jackson by the Convention against his
wishes. Mr.. j. said he was pecuniarily
unable to make the canvass his pri-
vate affairs claimed his undivided at
tention that he was an humble "clod-
hopper" and lacking in experience as
campaign speaker-that the Conven.
ton had made mistake in nominating
him-that he hoped they would recon-
slider the matter and postpone the
nomination till they could find better
equipped man. The Convention still
insisted, and upon said insistence Mr..
Jackson reluctantly accep ted, assuring
his friends that he would do the best
he could.
L. N. Jackson is a man of unblemsh-
ed reputation, loved by his neighbors
and respected by all He belongs to the
ranks of the great body of bread win
ners in this country on whose shoulders
rests the perpetuity of popular govern
ment. His candidacy is ono wherein
the office seeks the man, one of the
underlying features Of the great reform
movement.
There Is no machine, mossback

one of their own class to Congress-

but hard by was the "brook" that sup
piled him with stones with which to
slay this giant. Just so history with
it's ever-fowing current has been cut
ting it's throws over this politically
cursed land, and beneath her limpid
waters hard stones of bitter truth are
found in sufficient numbers to slay the
giants of monopoly. Busy, bleeding
hands torn by their rugged edges have
been cleaning them for years. These

their arms are nerved by desperation.

ABERDEEN, Miss, Sept. ia little
campaign episode occurred at Amory,
in this county, to-day. The Kansas
City, Memphis and Birmingham train
pulled into the depot, and as usual,
stopped twenty minutes for change of
engines and ere VS.. Gen. Weaver took
advantage of the stop and put his head
out of the car window and began a
speech to the crowd of about fifty vo-
tiers, who were standing on the plat
form. He had uttered about three
sentences when lady seated two seats
in front of him, put her head out of
the window and said Gentlemen, this
man, General Weaver, is the man who.
during the war, robbed everybody in
the Southern States who fell in his line
OF march. know this to be so, for he
stole two pounds of butter from me.
Do not listen to him, but go vote the

speech was cheered to the echo, and
Gen. Weaver drew in his head, closed
down the window and had no more to
say.

Der of Democratic papers as choice

The defeat of Mr. Kolb in Alabama
was only the robbery of an individual
of his personal rights and of his prop
crty in an Office given him by the peo-
pie. This loss was not great, and might
be patiently borne but the robbery of
the people and the wrong done the
commonwealth could hardly be tolera-
ted. Kolb was their chosen governor
and they do not propose to recognize
any other man in this office. Mr..
Jones may usurp it and the cunning
lawyer of Birmingham may get through
the legislature a bill under which
Jones may be successfully counted in,
as was poor Hayes; but the people of
Alabama don't propose to be cheated
by the lawyers and barnacles as when
the to national swindle was consum-
ated. 1t would be bad enough to be
beaten by negro minority; but when
it is confessed fact that this minority
is not only black, but wholly bogus,
the Birmingham lawyer draws up his
ingenious counting out statute Who'll
ly in vain.

1t is sometimes asked why the Ga
zette doesn't support the Bidwell- Gran
fill ticket. There are several reasons,
but we shall give only one here, name
ly: That ticket cannot possibly succeed
in the presidential election this fall,
and every vote cast for it in the South
is a vote against Cleveland and Stew
enson who represent the best interests
of the people. Magnolia Gazettee.
That is miserably poor reason, but
it is as good as any other man can give

The LEADER believes in clean politics
and clean men. If Mr.. James Burkitt
the Peoples party nominee for Con
gress in the first district, wrote the
letter to the negro school teacher he is
charged with writing, the Peoples par
ty men in that district ought to call
for his resignation and put up another
man. If it isa forgery, the people of
the district, without respect to party,
ought to elect him as rebuke to such
despicable political methods.
