a Warming to White Caps.

1t isn't going to be fashionable
nor profitable for attorneys to
defend persons charged with white
cap outrages in parts where such
organizations exist. Joseph A.
Reid, an attorney of Amite City,
La, who has recently defended a
number of persons charged with
being implicated in white cap
outrages, has issued a letter to
the public in which he says:
l beg leave thus to notify the
white caps of this district, that
after disposition of such cases
now pending, that l will not ac-
cept employment in their defense,
but will aid the good citizens in
breaking up white cap methods.
1t has fallen to my lot to repre-
sent with some success many citi-
zens of this district, but l am not
in favor of disorder, ruffianism
or persecution. The result of
white cap organization is to drive
out labor, unsettle public govern
ment, and bring into chaos and
confusion the very systems which
would be our pride and our de-
fense. | trust | may never be
called upon to prosecute any one
charged with white capism, but
in such event | will do my duty
as best | can. My professional
name shall not be used as a me-
mace against the social order in
our country.

Throwing Away Votes.

A vote is thrown away when it
is cast for a candidate or party
that fails to represent the right
eous convictions of the voter.
Every Prohibitionist who votes
for license candidate or party
throws away his vote.
Every temperance man who
casts ballot for the candidates
of a party dominated by saloon
influences throws away vote.
Every enemy of the saloon who
votes ticket supported by sa-
loon-keepers and liquor dealers
throws away his vote.
Every believer in Righteousness
in government who votes a ticket
made up in gin-mills and ratified
by a convention in which rum
sellers sit as delegates throws
away his vote.
Every man who wants to see
this nation redeemed from gin
mill government and fails to east
his ballot for the only party that
dares to antagonize the gin-mill
throws away his vote.
Every man who believes in
clean politics and good govern
ment as against slum politics and
government by criminals who
fails to cast a ballot that can be
distinguished in the count from
the ballot of the rumseller and the
criminal throws away his vote
The Voice.

The Battle for Bread - The
Church OH Trial.

DIR. Talmage, like Bishop
Keener, has caught the inspira-
ton, and is talking straight out
in meeting. In a recent sermon
he said:
uUnless the church of Jesus
Christ rises up and proves her,
self the friend of the people, as
the friend of God, and in sympa'
thy with the great masses, who,
with their families at their backs,
are fighting this battle for bread,
the church as at present organic
ed, will become defunct institu-
ton, and Christ will go down
again to the beach and invite
twelve plain, honest fishermen tc
come into an apostleship of right
eousness manward and Godward.
The time has come when all class
es of people shall have equal
rights in the great struggle to gel
livelihood.

A Disguised Old Democrat.

"They can say what they please
about John Sherman's bossing
Cleveland and debating to Demo

drummer with a voice like fog
horn, as he entered the railroad
depot of Mississippi town a few
nights ago with a friend.
GIVE always heard,' growled
an old Andrew jackson Demo
crat, loud enough to be heard, as
he sat in one corner of the sit

The Chickasaw Messenger.

III OCk hlENDS.
The cotton season is just com
ing on, and hard run as our peO
pie are, each and every one could
find the means to subscribe for 6
paper, which for more than twen.
ty years, in season and out OF
season, has stood up for the right:
of the workingmen and women OF
this country.
You need a Waterman on the
tower to tell you what is trans
piring abroad in the land. You
want to keep posted pertaining to
all matters affecting your inter
est. You want your children ed
ucated in the science of political
economy. You need newspaper
in the family circle, which will
give you the truth and the whole
truth concerning the acts and do
ings of your servants in every
branch of the Government.
You have such a paper in the
Chickasaw Messenger. 1t is the
organ of the Farmers Alliance of
Mississippi. 1t is thoroughly in
sympathy with the great reform
movement which the Alliance has
put on foot. You need its advice
and information-it needs your
support. 1t will do its part cheer
fully if you will do yours.
For the past two years the
Messenger has been run at loss
to its proprietor, and he can bear
the burden but little longer un-
aided. 1t is your paper, ALI
ancemen, and it is your duty to
sustain it. 1t is laboring for your
release from the slavery of the
money power, laboringmen, and
you should help to hold up its
hands. 1t is striving week by
week to impress the public with
the necessity for reform all along
the line, and every taxpayer
should send one dollar to help us
buy paper, pay printers and house
rent, that the fight for "equal
rights to all and special privilege
for none'' may be kept until vic
tory crowns the efforts of the
masses against the classes.

CltiZen-ChriStian.

There has been great loss OF
power to mould true Christian
citizenship, occasioned by the fact
that too often the terms "Chris,
tian and citizen have been con-
sidered apart, and as occupying
different spheres and operating
ON entirely different lines. The
word has been: "Religion is re-
ligion," "business is business"
"politics is politics. % There is
need of one dominating principle
to govern life. If we have a right
conception of religion, it is the
ouly thing which supplies the true
governing principle. AS religion
pertains to life in all its phases,
and as it supplies motives to right
living which, when carried out,
produce the best characters and
the best lives, its principles should
govern everywhere and its pre-
cepts be practiced in every walk
of life. If this is not so in busi-
ness relations, if it is not so in
civil and political circles, there is
manifested defect which is fatal
to Christian character. The Chris
tian can not lay aside his religion
and retain it at the same time.

Was Some Liar.

We have seen private letter from
Port Gibson, Miss, in which the wri-
ter says that there is more liquor sold
now in that place than when it was
wet. The writer also says that there
is more meanness and law-breaking
than ever. The mayor has cinch and
the city treasury is getting rich. Vjcks-
burg and Natchsz are growing rich Off
of money sent from Port Gibson for
liquor; and so it goes. Local prohibi-
ton will not do.-Greentoood Flag.
This is gross eXaggeration.
There is of course some drinking
here still, but incomparably less
than under the license system.
Nor is it true that lawlessness has
increased in Port Gibson. On
contrary, the town is more order
ly on Saturday nights, than il
has been for years. The mayor
says that not only have such of
fenses as drunkenness, fighting,
pistol-shooting, ETC., greatly di
minished in number, but there is
less business generally in his
court than formerly. The Flag
ought to be surer of its facts be-
fore making such sweeping char
ges.-Port Gibson Reveille.
1t is decidedly reassuring tc
those who have borne the brunt
of the Prohibition fight, to hear
the Reveille, which was originally
strongly opposed to it, bearing
such testimony as the above.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

III recent issue Oh lHE LEAD
Err we spoke earnestly on the per-
sonal responsibility of Christian
voters. Mr.. Beecher, in the ex-
citing days of anti-slavery discus
sion, often declared that every
American citizen who had not ex-
hausted all his prerogatives as a
citizen in protesting against slav-
cry, was himself responsible for
slavery.
We paraphrase Mr.. Beechcr's S
statement and affirm that every
citizen who does not by all the
means at his command place him
self in an attitude of uncomprom-
Using hostility to the liquor traffic
is himself morally y accountable for
the continuance of the destructive
business.
Whatever may be said as to
the beginning of the present IL
quor system, no man denies that
it's continued existence is by. the
grace and favor of the American
voter. Against his protest it can
not continue. When a majority
of our voting citizens so decree,
the saloon will be an outlaw. That
it is not such already is because a
majority of our voters consent
that it shall have the moral and
legal support of the government,
State and national. Every man
! who votes with political party
whose policy provides for the
perpetuation of the saloon is NOR
ally guilty of having given his
express consent to the continu
ance of this tremendous enginery
of destruction.
1t is not asserted that every
man who so votes is at heart the
friend of the saloon, but it is as
serted that each such voter gives
his Endorsement to the present or
der of things.
He may give that endorsement
Q) gladly, (2) indifferently, or (9)
reluctantly and under protest, but
the significant thing is that by
sustaining license party he ex-
pressly gives his approval or con-
sent to the license policy.
We boldly challenge the right
of any citizen so to do. If the
saloon is not wrong then nothing
is wrong. But it can never
be wrong to run saloon and
right to vote that saloons shall be
run.
The moral distinction between
the saloon keeper and the license
voter may be one of degree but
not of kind.
Voter, Christian minister,
church member, good citizen, the
saloon is yours, it has the stamp
of your approval, the seal of your
Endorsement, a certificate of good
character over your signature,
unless at the ballot box you re-
buke it and disown it and decline
to give your support to those who
feel compelled to court its favor.
There is no neutral ground.
You are for it or against it..
Which!

can the father as he stands by the

the boys of other men to that
same fate, and that he is now reap
ing what he has sown9 Has he a
right to expect anything else
Can he blame anybody else more
than he blames himself! How
long will the fatal charm of par
ty-idolatry blind men to the loft

their ears to the plaintiff suppli-
cations of the unnumbered army
