After Dark.

VIM. A. Brady's spectacular production
of Boucioault's famous melodrams, after
Dark" will be the attraction at MinR's
opera house Friday and Saturday, Dec. 8
and 10. with a matinee Saturday. There is
a vivid representation Of the Thames river,
wherein the heroine is thrown in by the
villain. A tank of 'renl water" 10 used,
and Old Tom. the hero, dashes to the
rescue in q boat, and plunges after the girl.
The concert hall scene il made the means of
presenting a number of excellent special
ties. Mcintyre and Heath. the negro
minstrels, and DaRmar and DeCelle, the
Swedish niRhtingales. are also among the
entertaining people who appear on the
stage of the mimic music hall, and to
those who have never seen q variety show,
and to those who have as we'll, this feature
is entertaining. One of the prominent in
oidents of the play has a distinct and con-
spicuous place in dramatic lore. 1t is re-
membered with q smile of amusement by
everyone who has seen it. A gambling den
is revealed in full operation, and q raid by
the police is announced. In an instant the
pictures are reversed, displaying familiar
and praiseworthy notices. the tables are
changed 30 as to conceal the gaming para
phernalia. and hymn books are provided 80
that it becomes TO all appearances a devout
assemblage of Salvation Army people.

The case of Barden vs.. the Northern Pa

hearing in the United States supreme court
next Monday. 1t will come up on an an
peal from the supreme court of this state.
and in brief involves the question whether
a railroad can hold mineral lands occurring
within it's grants that were not known to
be such at the time the company got pos
session. Tho Montana courts decided the
question for the railroad and against Bar
den, who claimed title to and within lin
its of the railroad grants under the mineral
laws of the United States. Attorney Cen
eral Miller, owing to the importance of the
case, has called upon Assistant Attorney
General Shields to help him in preparing
the brief and making the arguments in the
case on behalf of the United States. The
decision is said to involve a larger amount
of money han any case that las been tried
for nearly twenty years, and affects almost
every land grant road in the country.

The w. &. T. L. of Starkyille

The Times learns that this organi-
zatiOn is doing. more active work in
Starkville than ever before. They
have a large increasing membership ;
the members are enthusiastic, and
they are creating considerable inter
est by giving public entertainments.
In speaking of this organization, II
Starkville gentleman, who sometimes
looks upon the wine when it is red,
said to the Times:
~ am glad to see this movement
gaining strength and believe our Ia
dies will accomplish much good.
wish they would give public meet
ing-invite everybody-the drinking
men especially--and let us get togeth-
er,give our experience and discuss the
best remedy for Kidding ourselves of
this aceursed evil. l long to see the
day when q complete confidence can
be established between these noble
ladies and the unfortunate liquor vic
tins of Starkville. There is no drink
ing man but who would gladly quit.
They are willing in their own hearts
although they may not admit ito
accept any conditions to be saved.
The Temperance women will find them
valuable allies in putting temptation
out of reach, and / believe that the
drinking men will find the Temper
ance women valuable allies in helping
them to resist"

HEADQUARTERS FUND.



The time is rapidly approaching for
the third payment on our lot in Jack
son. Our note falls due Sept. 18th and
must be met or we will lose this valu-
able property. Your delegates at the
State Convention decided that we
should continue payments on the lot
which is beautifully situated aud ris-
ing in value. It rests with the Unions
to sustain this action of the conven-
ton and every Union should at once
send in something for the purpose to
our State Treasurer, Miss Zelle Nc
Laurin. Take whatever money is lying
idle in the local Treasury and collect
as much more as possible to put with
it and send IL at once. Those dele
gates who pledged their Unions at
convention should see that these
pledges are promptly redeemed. Only
little effort is needed and we shall
own this property which will give us a
footing in the State Capital and q
means of great future usefulness. AL
amounts sent in will he published from
week to week in the LEADER.

slipped away and were married this
morning. Powell first fixed the preach
er, and then stole his little sweetheart
from beneath her mothers wing, and
in n trice the words were spoken which
made them man and wife. Mrs.
Moritz, mother OF the diminutive bride,
raised hades when she learned that her
daughter had eluded her and become
the giants wife. All that saved Powell
from being scalped was the fact that

SUPPLEMENTAL RESOLUTIONS.

At the night session, Chairman
Branch made tho following supple
mental report t.. -,=.
Your committee on platform and
resolutions beg leave unanimously to
report the following:
Whereas, Other questions have been
presented for our consideration, we
hereby submit the following, not as a
part of the platform of the People:
party, but as resolutions expressive
of the sentiment of the convention.
Resolved, That we demand n free
ballot and fair count in all elections
and pledge ourselves to secure it to
every legal voter, without Federal in
terventiOn, through the adoption by
the States of the unperverted Austria
lian secret ballot system. t#a
Resolved, That the revenue derived
from u graduated income tax should
be applied to the reduction of the
burden of taxation now levied upon
the domestic industries of this cOun-
try.
Resolved, That we pledge our sup
port to fair and liberal pensions to ex-
Union soldiers and sailors.
Resolved, That we condemn the
fallacy of protecting American labor
under the present system, which opens
our ports to the pauper and criminal
classes of the world, and crowds ont
wage earners, and we denOuncc the
present ineffective laws against con
tract labor, and demand the further
restriction OF undesirable immigra-
ton. Pr 'faiaa
Resolved, That we cordially SYM
pathize with the efforts of organized
workingmen to shorten the hours OF
labor, and demand a rigid enforce
ment of the existing eight hour law
on general work, and ask that a special
clause be added to said law.
Resolved, That we regard the main
tenance of a large standing army OF
mercenaries, known as the PinkertOD
system, as menace to our liberties,
and we demand its abolition and we
condemn the recent invasion of the
Territory. of Wyoming by the hired
assassins of plntocracy, assisted by
Federal officers.
Resolved, That we commend to the
thoughtful considerationo of the people,
and the reform press, the legislative
system known as the ihitiativeAand
referendum.
Resolved, That we favor eonsti-
tutional provision limiting the Office
of president and vice president to one
term, and providing for the election
of senators of the United States by
direct vote of the people. - -
Resolved, That we oppose any sub
sidyi or national aid to any private
corporation for any purpose. ~
When the first paragraph, that re-
lating to the force bill aud the Austria
liam ballot system, was read, a delegate
moved to lay it on the table. They
already had the st. Louis platform,
he said. His motion got second,
but was beaten most decisiyely on a
vote, nearly the whole. convention
voting no. The immigration plank
and the anti Pinkerton plank were APP

The following is from the facile pen
OF Mrs Mary Hoskins, Lexington:
The fair little city of Greenwood
stands to-day pre-eminent in the heart
of the State w. G. L. u. on account of
the noble work done by the White
Ribbouers of that town SO bleSt by the
hand of God in the rich yield Of its al
luvial soil, and so cursed by the hand
of man in permitting and upholding
the saloons, so enticing in their allure
ments to our young men, the hope and
pride of Mississippi. But the W. G. Il.
U. have awakened and girded them
selves with the armor of Christ and are
now fighting valiantly for God, home
and native land. A private letter from
one of the stirring temperance women
of that town brings us the glad news
that by counter petition they have
closed one of the "first class" saloons,
which is only pathway to hell more
gilded than the doggery, Deliver us
from "three first" affairs that offer so
many seductive temptations, even to
the strong and pure hearts.
The seal of God is upon the work of
these noble women and may they con-
tinue the fight until every saloon is a
past dream, revolving night mare,
and while these elect women are bat
Ting so courageously, other women
are the Aaron and Hur to stay their
arms with prayer for success, thus
redeeming the low lands Of Mississippi
from the clutch Of satan, and lighting
the fires of jubilee upon every
river bank, whose tawny water will
murmcr the glad news to every land"
God bless the work and the workers
in the Delta and let them never weary
iii W ell doing.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1892-08-25
APPALLING CONDITIONS.

Our country is confronted by condi-
tions for which there is no precedent
in the history of the world. Our an
nual agricultural productions amount
to billions of dollars in value, which
must within few weeks OrmOnths
be exchanged for billions of dollars OF
commodities consumed in their pro-
duction the existing currency supply
is wholly inadequate to make the
exchange the results are falling
prices, the formation of combines and
rings, the mpoverisllment of the pro
ducing classes. We pledge ourselves
that if given power we will labor to
correct these evils by wise and reas-
enable legislation in accordance with
the terms of our platform. s..ss
We believe that the powers of gov
eminent, in other words of the people,
should be expanded, as in the case OF
the postal service, as rapidly and as
far as the good sense of an intelligent
people and the teachings of experience
shall justify to the end that oppres--
sion, injustice and poverty shall
eventually cease in the land q
While our sympathies as u party OF
reform are naturally upon the side of
every proposition which will tend to
make men intelligent, virtuous and
temperate, we nevertheless regard
these questions important as they
areas secondary to the great issues
now pressing for solution, and upon
which not only our individual pros
perity, but the very existence of free
institutions depend; and we ask all
men to first help as to determine
whether we are to have a republic to
administer, before we differ as to the
conditions upon which it is to be adj
ministered. believing that the fotces
of reform this day orgariized will
never cease to move forward until
every wrong is remedied, and equal
privileges securely established for oil
the men and women of this country,
we declare, therefore,
l.. That the union of tile labor forces
of the United States this day CONSUME
mated, shall be permanent and per-.
