\ Few Remarks from "CItlzen. "
, fhe Efifor or ths RsOister.:

10 fhs Editor or TIE Rs0iStsr:
SIR:-The intimation comes from a
quarter VIGOROUSLY opposed for two or
three years past TO every work Of public
Improvement undertaken by the citygOv-
eminent, no matter how great its merit,
that the purchase by the City Council Of
the larger part OF the city electric light
plant away from homo" had something
TO do with the present financial straits
OF the Gas Board. Lest this inuendO
that the Board in some mannar cOnspir-
ed 70 rob the city find a chance believer,
let me say that the bid for electrical
machinery, engines, boilers, wire, poles,
etc, was carefully scrutlnized by Coun-
ell before that body let the contract,
and that on that contract Of nearly
SIS, 600 there was but $50 Of extras. The
extras did not come in on what was
bought away from home" but figure
extensively on what was purchased at
home. So much for that.
The talk about the UNLIMITED funds"
at the disposal of the Gas Board is but
the silly glbberish Of a malicious and
superficial mind, while the as
sumption that the money OF the
city has been "SQuaDdered, is
rot, pure aud simple. The city
has in the light plant value received
for every dollar expended, and the
streets are now being lighted at about $50
per light per year less than the private
bid advocated by the person who now
reappears In his natural role Of COM
mon Scoid.
The business men in Council have an
accurate conception of the situation in
the Gas Board, and will handle it in a
business-like manner when the time
comes. CITIZEN.

He Carried a Knife.

There came near being row at Four
teenth and Market streets, yesterday
evening. A youth, evidently from the
country, who had come In to see the
sights, was walking up Fourteenth
street when he saw a street fakir on the
corner. This sight proved at once
novel and interesting to the lad. He
advanced and looked at the wares dis
played, When asked to buy, he eau
tiously declined. This seemed TO anger
the fakir, and he ordered him away.
This the sightsesr seemed to have no
idea of doing. When the fakir got
from his box TO force matters, the lad
pulled from his pocket longbladed
knife. This seemed to dampen the at
tack, and while the fakir rummaged In
his big pocket an officer arrived. The
stranger was taken into custody, but
soon released, as he believed he didn't
have to buy thing unless he wanted it,
even in Wheeling.

Talking of Robt. f. Lee the

said that he was the subject of
two of the finest phrases of culo-
gy he had ever read or heard.
One which he quoted was from
Ben Hills Grafton, when he said
in his climax that Lee was "1ike
Caesar without his ambition, Ma
poleon without his selfshness, and
Washington without his reward"
tho last clause summing up the
whole Southern feeling toward
Lee. The other quotation was
from pancgyric on Lee, deliv

\ Model Citizen.

Occasionally, along the walks of
life we find men who rise to the
grandeur of true manhood and who
represent the highest type of citi-
zenship. Such a man is MIR. l.. p.
Brown, Meridian. OF incorrup-
tible integrity and high concep-
ton of Christian character, he
puts to shame the pigmies who
disgrace the name of manhood
and bring contempt on true chris
tianity. When recently made
foreman of the Lauderdale county
grand jury. upon the assembling
of that body for work he said:
Most of you know me personal
ly and others by report, and under
stand that at my house / never be-
gin days work or close it with
out seeking the guidance and CO.
operation of Almighty God. ! am
here as your foreman, not by my
choice but in accordance with le
gal forms; but being here, l pro-
pose to do my duty and | fully
realize my insufficiency for these
grave responsibilities without the
support and direction of ii Divine
Power. Those of you who are
willing that | should here and
now invoke His aid will please
rise to your feet; the others may
continue sitting Without ii
moments delay every man rose
to his feet, and Mr.. Brown led
them in prayer.
This is man who carries his
religion into his business, and the
result is he is prosperous and has
as much of this life's happiness as
it is possible for mortal to en-
Joy. Would that the country
was full of such men. They are
needed in these desperate times.
Even if such high conception of
Christian integrity and obliga-
ton were the rule and not the eX
ccption among church members,
the country would be better off.
Meridian should be proud that
she has such man asamOng her
laymen, and she should honor
him as he richly deserves

ulated. The road to victory does
not lie by way of such amend
ment, which requires two-thirds
vote of Congress to submit it and
the vote of hrec-fourths of the
State Legislatures to ratify it.
The way to victory lies through
statutory and constitutional laws
in the States reinforced by con-
grcssiOnal enactmennts in refer
ence to Interstate transportation,
importation and expectation, and
the territorial traffic. The fight
in a State is hopeless one and
must prove barren of any but
temporary results without the ma
tfonal fight. Such thing as
State party has never been known
in the United States except as a
sporadic and temporary affair.
State and national politics are, in
our political system, inextricably
mixed. The election of Con
gressmen, the election of legisla-
tors who elect United States
Senator, and the general mainte-
nance of party organization all
have avital bearing on national
issues, and no State campaign is
conducted without reference to
such issues. We may fight for
State laws against the liquor traf
tic, but so long as the United
States Brewers Association and
the National Protective Associa-
ton WELD power in the Presiden-
tial campaign, and are able to de-
termine national results by their
power in doubtful States, so long
can they compel the managers of
State organizations to resist our
efforts.
But the question, Why a Pro
hibition Party! suggests the
question, Why not Il Prohibition
party. Don't we need new
party in this Nation Is there
any mission for either of the old
parties that warrants their exist
encc! Is there not thousand
fold more reason for the forma-
tion of a new party than for the
continuation of either old party I.
Are there not great and towering
evils, aside from the drink evil,
which those parties have not the
moral courage to face Are they
not both unworthy of the conf
dence of great people Are
they any longer the opponents of
principle or of conscience in pol
itics!
Why NOT Prohibition Party {!

a Prominent Convert.

DIR. II. +. Barnes, until recently
State Chairman of Ohio Populists,
and at present editor of the Pop
ulist State organ has become pro-
hibitionist. How did this happen!
Something like this, Mr.. Barnes
had come to the conclusion that
liquor and monopolies are the two
great evils of the time, and that
he could not support Il party which
would leave either one out of its
platform or its campaigns. He
observed that the Ohio Populists
in their convention lodged the IL
quor question and said to himself
l cannot longer support this party.
Looking around for some party
which had the courage to come
out squarly against these two great
evils he observed that the Ohio
Prohibition party in its reform
curriculum did not stop with its
antagonism to the liquor traffic
but came out boldly against the
other monopolies without any We
don't-mean-it, ''dominant issue"
plank, and naturally concluded
that here was party which he
could honestly and consistently
join. And he has come into the
party.

Temperance Resolutions.

Unanimously passed at the Paducaf
District Conference of the Memphis
Annual Conference, NJ. f. Church
South, July %, 1893:
WHEREAS, The last General
Conference of the NJ. +. Church,
South, placed said Church on
record "before the whole world
as "emphatically a Prohibition
Church. and ''for the complete
suppression of the liquor traffic, y
and "opposed to all forms of Ii
cense of this iniquity, whether
the same be high or low And
WHEREAS, Our Federal Su-
preme Court has justified the po-
sition of said Church, by deciding
that, because "The concurrent
testimony of every civilized and
Christian community" as well as
"the statistics of every State,
show that there is no greater
source of crime and suffering to
society than the dramshops:"
that, therefore, ''Therc is no in
herent right in a citizen of a
State, or of the United States. to
sell Intoxicating liquors by the
retail" and the granting of such
right, or privilege, sis matter
of Legislative well only
Therefore, the only way to stop
the. licensing of the traffic is to
repeal the laws that authorize
the license and the only way to
elect majority of such law
makers who are opposed to them !;
is. for individual church members
to unite with other good citizens
at the ballot-boX and vote for
them. Hence,
Resolved, That we urge our
brethren everywhere, clergy
and laity, not only to preach,
and pray, and talk against the
traffic, and thereby manufacture
sentimen, against it, but to help
to crystalizc that sentiment at
the ballot-boX where alone it can
be made effective against liquor
licensing laws, by casting their
votes and using their influence
for men only who are openly and
avowedly opposed to the license
liquor traffic.
