A COoUETTIsH SENATOR.

Senator Harrison, of Lowndes, seems
to be coqustting with both Prohibition
lists and liquor men. During the pro-
tracted consideration of the new code
chapter on "dramshops" in the Senate,
he was conspicuous as an opponent of
number of the best portions of that
measure and supported several amend
ments to weaken it in favor of the
whisky traffic. Saturday evening after
the last section had been adopted, he
offered resolution to recommit the
whole subject to the Committee on
Temperance, with instructions to report
in lieu thereof constitutional amend
ment to be voted on at an election
separate from all other issues, to pro-
hibit the sale and manufacture of all
kinds of liquors as beverage in the
State.
In supporting his resolution he as
serted he did it because he wanted to
give the people a chance to be heard
on this question. He said the liquor
question was not made an issue in his
election, and he absolutely did not
know what the sentiments of his peo-
pie we're on the subject. He believed
that under the new franchise laws,
which largely eliminates the negro
vote, the State would go in favor of
Constitutional Prohibition. Speaking
for himself, he would vote for it.
Mr.. Harrison's resolution was tabled
by decided vote, not so much, per-
haps, because the Senate was opposed
to submitting prohibitory amend
ment, as because the resolution did
not look to any protection of the
State from the saloon element until
the voice of the people on a constitu-
tional amendment could be heard and
enacted into law, and which really APP

pears to have been the design of the
Senator from Lowndes.
Subsequently Senator Harrison gave
strong support to Senator Heidleberg's
amendment to prohibit licensed LIQUOR
dealers from shipping liquor into pro-
hibition territory, declaring it Just
and right and the best part of the
whole chapter.
When Senator Heidelberg withdrew
his amendment, before it reached a
vote, Senator Harrison said he also de-
sired to withdraw all he had said in its
favor.
We don't know whether the Senator
from Lowndes has his off eye on Pri-
vate John Aliens seat or not, but he is
making record enough ON this ques-
ton to please both the Prohibi.
tienists and the saloon advocates OF
his district, provided they are easily
satisfied. He's "for the dam and agin
the dam"

The way land, the chief capital stock
of the farmer, is deprecated in value
by the scarcity of money and the gen
eral financial policy of the government
is illustrated by sale that took place
in this city on the 18th inst Mr.. g.
w. Carlisle, the well-known real estate
agent, sold on that day at public out
cry, after a liberal amount Of advertis-
ing, in subdivisions of 0and 100 acres,
what is known as the Garland planta-
ton four miles north of this city. As
all know who are acquainted with this
land, it is as good farm land as can be
found in the northern portion of
Kinds county, yet the highest figure
the very best portions of it brought IN
80 and 100 tracts, was $3.50 per acre.
and there were few bidders at any
price. Some sold as low as 500 per
acre.
1t is no wonder the farmer is kicking
He has reason to kick. Neither his land
nor what he grows on it is bringing re-
munerative prices,

DON'T PARCEL OUT THE BLOOD.
MONEY.

MONEY.
The most dangerous and mischievous
feature of the chapter on dramshops
passed by the Senate, is that which
provides for division of the license
money between State, county and mu-
nicipality. 1t amounts to a standing
bride, such as the Louisiana Lottery is
now offering in our sister State, for
counties and towns to adopt and foster
the saloons as revenue measure. Ii
saloons are to be licensed, to which the
LEADER will never give it's sanction, let
all of the money be covered into the
State treasury and delocalized as alb
solutely as possible.
The evil tendency of the proposed
policy is illustrated by the following
editorial from the State Ledger of this
city:
The proposition to make the price of
license to retail in Jackson 81 800, one
third of which goes to the State; one
third to the county, and one-third to
the city, does not meet with much
favor.
Jackson is doing we'll enough now
and should be let severely alone. She
has seven saloons, all good ones and
operated by gentlemen of first-class
reputation and good moral character,
and the city derives revenue of $1,000
therefrom. Make the license 81, 500
and give Jackson one-third, we would
get only $500. The saloon men do
not want anything of that sort. High
license is oppressive, it is true, but if it
is to be reduced, let the city granting
same get the benefit.
We believe the editor of the State
Ledger and a majority of our Legisla-
tors profess to have some respect for
Holy Writ. That ancient authority
says, "Woe unto him that buildeth a
town with blood, and stablisheth a
city by iniquity."
If the Bible hasn't become "a back
number" it's principles and teachings
ought to have some weight in the set
Element of this liquor question.

WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT.

A subscriber at Coffeeville, Miss
writes: II was glad to receive the
LEADER from its new home. 1t has the
right ring. l wish you much success.

sippi and to this end will do my full
part, and that without pay"
Thanks. We hope the friends of re-
form all over the State will take like
interest in extending the circulation of

more splendid, more attractive, more
influential, more omnipotent ;but cor
respondingly bad in all respects. They
are kept nearly entirely now by for
eigners who have no conscience, as we
call conscience. They arc without
Bible or Lords day. The only men
in Mississippi who have certificates of
good moral character, signed and APP
proved, are saloon men. How we'll
they deserve them, let an enlightened
public judge. Restriction does not re-
strict. Write it large. RESTRICTION
DOES NOT RESTRICT.
The reasons why the liquor traffic has
grown under license and grown bad at
that are easily seen. Concentration is
power, and when there is enough power
legal restrictions go for nothing. The
traffic is completely organized. 1t
opens palatial saloons, gives free
lunches and has enough in il to justify
men to push it. Crowds get together
and treat each other. AS to high Ii
cense securing better men in the bus
mess, we have seen that it has not.
Why? Because bad men can pay a
higher license than good men. The
essential difficulty in the penitentiary
leasing system lay in the fact that bad
men could always out bid good men.
There was no help for it they would
do it and could do it, because they we're
willing to feed, clothe and keep poorly
and drive hard. A bad man with a
monopoly of the liquor business in his
town or dozen of them organized can
mass all the corrupt elements and con-
troll the city government, the courts and
| juries. Besides, drunk men are robbed
of money enough to pay any license in
many cases, and the gambling, with
other equally bad annexes make it GER
tain that high license must mean low
everything else. AS it is, it will be-

sells them to any combine. Free whis-
key is bad; but not one hundredths
part as bad as this giant monopoly. with
the strength of Sampson and the soul

Our present legislators have an adj

wrong, and to restore to the people the
blessings of equal rights in all things.
If they fail, the people should know
why and the next time send men to
Jackson who are Democrats in fact as
well as in name.

J. j. Armstead of Newton thinks if
some member of the present Legisla-

to prohibit the manufacture and sale
of all species of intoxicating liquors

violation of the same, thousands of the
best men and women all over this
broad land would rise up and cali him
blessed. Right.

the chapter on dramshops, says it
would be far moro honorable in the

endeavoring to down the whisky bust

ton of straight prohibition, than to en-
deavor to destroy it by indirection

Senators McGehee, of Franklin, and
Roane, of Grenada, declared in the
Senate Saturday evening, that they
were not only ready to vote to prohibit
licensed liquor sellers in wet counties
from shipping liquors into dry counties
by the jug or otherwise, but that they
are ready to vote for prohibition stat
ute that will close every legalized
dramshop in the State. 1t is regretable
that the Senate does not contain more
McGehees and Roanes.

A disguise is always the refuge of
q william. No honest man covers his
face with mask and turns his coat
wrong side out in order to do a legiti-
mate and honest action. Homes ty
seeks the broad light of open day to
do its work, and always proclaims it
self by its own name when it moves
TO action. This is as true IN politics
as it is in business, or anything else.
The man or party of men who pre-
tend to be one thing when they are
another, or who try to deceive the
people in any way in political con-
test are not to be trusted.
