SPECIAL NOTICE.
To the Friends of Reform.

A good many persons will receive
copies of this issue of the LEADER who
are not subscribers. Their names have
been furnished us by friends as persons
in sympathy with the main lines of re-
form the paper expects to champion.
and who would be likely TO become
subscribers if they could see sample
copy and their attention specially call
ed to the subject. To all such we say
we wish you to become regular sub
scribers and we ask you to send us the
subscription price and begin at once
The paper needs your patronage and
we believe you need or will need it.
Our principal object in removing the
LEADER to Jackson, after publishing it
nine years in Brookhaven, was to Sc
cure more advantageous position.
where we could furnish the people of
Mississippi with reform paper that
is absolutely unfettered and independ-
ent of partisan and official influence
1t has been cherished ambition to
offer the people of the State an oppor-
tunity to have such paper at their
State Capital Now that we have done
this, the responsibility for its ultimate
success or failure is largely with them
The paper lived several years at Brook
haven on boycots and abuse, but that
sort of diet, without variety, becomes
unpalatable.
You will obtain a fair idea from this
issue. of the general character of the
paper. We do not expect to please
every body. and we will be entirely
candid and say further we do not eX-
pect to please anybody all the time ;
but the paper will always be found
headed right on all of the main trunk
lines of reform, and standing shoulder
to shoulder with the best people of the
State in whatever tends to the moral
material and political welfare of the
commonwealth.
Money on subscription may be for
warded either by registered letter
postofiice money order, or simply en-
closed in a letter, at our risk, and re-
csipt will be promptly acknowledged
1t will be taken as special favor if
old friends and subscribers will assist
us in their respective localities in in
Producing the paper by sending fol
sample copies and inducing others tc
subscribe. Address,
MISSISSIPPI LEADER,

In arising to a question of privilege
in the Senate the other evening and
censuring the LEADER for its criticism
of his double action course on the iq-
uor question, Senator Harrison of
Lowndes adverted, as matter of some
consequence, to the fact that he is a
deacon in the Baptist church Of Colun'-
bus AS the Voice lately said, at is an
ALFRED poor politician who cannot,
nowadays, hook the church on one
arm and the saloon on the other" And
more's the shame on the church.

MERIDIAN, MISS, Feb. l, 1892.
Editor Mississippi Leader:

and can find nowhere or from any one,
that a meeting was held in the city to
send delegates to Jackson to defeat leg

1t was a self-constituted delegation
who usurped authority to speak for the
citizens of Meridian. Have just con-
versed with Mr.. Ormond, President of

held, and no delegates were sent by
them ; it is a fraud all over, and yet

The energy with which certain lob
byists worked for reconsideration of
the Land chapter in the new code after
it had been adopted by large MAORI
ty, and their apparent desire to defeat
this important reform contemplated
by the Constitutional Convention, is
suggestive of something rotten some
where. The LEADER hopes to give the
subject an early investigation and see
if it can't discover the cause.

That lungs are brains"
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1892-08-16

In this issue of the Journal may be
found another of the timely and inter-
esting London letters signed III. t."
and written by Rev. Henry Tuckley, D.
d., an able and influent ial Methodist
clergyman of Lexington. Ky. DR.. Tuck
ley has gone to Europe to study eco
nomic and social problems, rather than
to write campaign literature. His let
tiers all bear the impress of painstaking
intelligence, and a purpose to be accu-
rate in statement. The current letter
contains the rate of wages paid in Eng
land. not only to iron and steel workers.
but to railroad and general labor. What
would locomotive engineer in the
United States think of $3.50 for twelve
hours. or a conductor of less than $3.50
a day7 What would dry-goods sales
men (countermen) think of less than
500 a year, or an American policeman
of a dollar a dayq DR.. Tuckley also
compares the wages Of irOn-workers In
Sheffield. England, with the minimum
wages at Homestead, which must be in
terestine at the present time. when so
much is said about pauper wages in
American industries.

THE NEW YORK'S ARMOR.

Have Been Used in the Cruisers Turrets.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 15.-The impregna-
bIlity of the arm0r of the cruiser New
York. built at Cramps shipy ard, and now

considerably lessened by vertical armor
plate In her turrets, or barbettes. instead Of
inclined ones, as tho contract calls for.
The builders of the vessel rivet on the
armor plates, and beyond that have moth
ing to do with them, it being managed
in Washington by the Naval Advisory
Board. which acts between the CON-
tractors and the government. The contract
called for ten inches of solid steel In the
turrsts, and IL was intended to be inclined
for the purpose Of DETECTING tho shot OF

him great satisfaction Ito see our col
ored citizens giving more attention to
the principles and policy of political
parties and breaking away from the
old-time prejudices which were ingen-
iously played upon to secure their po-
litical support" He also assures Mr..
Hill that there is no doubt in his mind.
viz: the mind of Grover Cleveland, but
that the services of Hill and his COLA
borers shave been invaluable and he
hopes the Democratic party will continue
to merit and receive their support.
This sort of campaigning is extremely
silly. Mr.. Cleveland evidently thinks
that these f1atulent commonplace let
tiers of his are having a great effect in
firing the popular heart. If he had any
political sense, not to say knowledge of
the facts, he would know that Hill has
no following here to speak of. and for
Mr.. Cleveland to say that his services to
the Democracy shave been invaluable"
is simply to write himself down an ass.

THE Kentucky Legislature, after be-
ing in session 2S1 days, has adjourned for
a three months recess. The cost of the
session So far is about 1921. 900. and the
value Of the Legislation is as yet unas-
certained. The remarkably long session
is caused by the necessity of making the
State laws conform to the new Constitu-
ton. 1t is expected the session will con-
tinue several months after reassembling
in the fall. Among the laws already
passed is local-option temperance law.
whereby the sense of the people of any
county, city. town, district or precinct
may be taken IA to whether spirituous,
vinous or malt liquors shall be sold,
bartered or loaned therein.

election officers-a most arbitrary and
undemocratic proceeding. In order to
insure his election he appointed boards
in his own interest, refusing in many
cases to give the Kolb men represent
alive. By this means, and by throwing
out Kolb votes by the thousands and
piling mp majorities for Jones. he has
secured his election on the face of the
returns by a few thousand votes. This
is the kind of force bill which is now
being crammed down the throats of the
defeated Democratic faction in Alabama.
1t is infinitely worse than any election
law ever dreamed of by Republicans.
