A Judge of the Right Stamina.

The attempted Jail delivery and the
threatening attitude toward the Cir
cult court, in Lincoln county, by a
mob of white caps is the climax of at
tempted anarchy, that surpasses any
thing of the kind that ever occurred in
Mississippi.
All honor to the courageous Judge
Chrisman, who braved the mob-and,
by his GOODNESS, held the rioters at bay
until the sheriff assembled a repulsing
force.
The action of the Judge, the Sheriff
and the law-abiding people, who took
up arms in defense of the law, is wor-
thy of all commentator, and the eX-
ample of heroism that is creditable to
their manhood.
Judge Chrisman has proven that he
is not only worthy to adjudicate the
laws, but is willing to die in their de-
Tense. With such men on the bench
the country is safe, and law will be

GOV. STONE UNJUsTL1 CENsURED.

The Harriston Jeffersonian and
Vicksburg CommerciaI-Hera severe
ly condemn Gov. Stone because he did
not act more promptly and vigorously
in regard to the Lincoln county white
cap episode. This is very unjust, and
such ill-directed criticisms can only
rebound to the hurt of the critics. As
soon as the outbreak occurred here,
Gov. Stone came in person to the scene
on the first train and showed a readi-
ness to do every thing III hs power to
restore order and enforce the law
against the guilty. He had no author
ity to order troops here until called
upon to do so by Sheriff McNair
When the sheriff finally yielded to the
counsel of others and telegraphed the
Governor for assistance. the Governor
had two companies of State troops on
the ground, headed by Adjutant Gen.
Henry, in less than six hours.
Let the captious editors of the Jeffer-
sonan and COMMERCIAL Herald say what
they NAV, no good, law-abiding citizen
of BroOkhaven or Lincoln county has
any complaint to lodge against Missis-
sippi's loyal and faithful Chief Execu-
tive for what he did or omitted to do
in connection with the White Cap af-
fair. On the contrary, they accord all
honor and praise to our noble Gov
ernor for his readiness, not only in this
instance, but in all others, to uphold
the peace and dignity of the common
wealth and to faithfully execute it's
laws in accordance with the oath he
has taken.

ONE MORE VICTIM.

Geo, 4. Smythc. of jackson, died in
that city last week rather suddenly
and under circumstances decidedly
sad and distressing to his surviving
relatives. The writer has known
George Smythe from early boyhood.
He possessed fine qualifications for
business man, was Of pleasant address,
intelligent. companionablc and we'll
read. and his one besettiug vice was
his appetite for strong drink, for which
he early acquired a consuming thirst
in Jackson's open dramshops. When
the poor fellow died jury of inquest
was summoned to examine into the
cause jury of six men. of which one
was dramshop proprietor and another
a bar-keeper- and their verdict, which
is commendable for its candor, reads /:
ave, the jury, find that he came to his
death from crceSSirc drink.
George Smythe is only one of many
victims to strong drink who have gone
the same way in the Capital City in the
last dozen years. Two of the men
who now 10y their verdict say that he
came to his death in this way, no doubt
often sold him liquor over the bar ;
but we would rather risk our chance
before the final judgment bar of AL
mighty God as one of these very men,
than to stand in the shoes of hundreds
of Jackson's psalm singing church
members who are silent and placid
some actually accessory while this
obstruction of men, soul and body, is
openly carried on i'll their midst aye.
more, who by their criminal indiffer-
ence or moral cowardice on this sub
ject, are allowing traffic to flourish in
their midst, without so much as pro-
test, which is constantly recruiting the
army of confirmed drunkards from the
ranks of the young men and boys OF
jackson and surrounding country, and
binding them by the same enslaving
chain of habit and perverted appetite
which brought George Smythe to a
premature grave.
"Verily | say unto you. it shall be
more tolerable for the land of Sodom
and Gomorrha in the day of judgment
than for that city

Honor To Judge Chrisman.

The conduct of Judge Chrisman,
when he defied and overawed the
Brookhaven mob, is worth more than
a mere passing notice.
The courage shown by him at the
critical moment is not surpassed eth
er in story or history. 1t was superb
and his exclamation of defiance, when
a dozen WincheSters we're leveled at
his breast, and a score or more of men
were discussing among themselves
which should get the first crack at
Old Chris" you can murder the court,
but you cannot intimidate it," is worth
perpetuating for all time.
Judge Chrisman's GOODNESS, his nerve,
his bravery, won for Mississippi, on
this occasion, a name that is worth more
than gold He saved the honor of the
State, and in doing SO preserved the
dignity of the court over which he pre-
sides.
All honor to him-all honor to the
brave sheriff and others who stood
ready to assist him.-Raymond Ga

THE Brotherhood" colored mans
paper published at Natchez by Hon.
Geo. F. Bowles, colored man, is an
honor to its editor and the Negro race.
If the fair and wholesome teachings it
inculcates were generally disseminated
among the Negroes of the South, race
conflicts would indeed become thing
of the past, there would be mutual
respect between the white and black
races, and such thing as scurvy dema-
gogues of any political party massing
and voting the Negroes solidly like
sheep, would be forever an impossible
ty.

DYNAMITE IN IOWA.

The State of Iowa is ablaZe with en-
the blowing up of the residence of
Hon. John Mahin. editor of the Even
ing Journal, f. NJ. Kessinger and N.
Rosenberger, at Muscatine, with either
dynamite or explosive powder. Who
perpetrated the hellish deed? The
liquor gang, of course. In these three
homes, which were completely wrecked
after the hour of midnight. there were
sleeping II persons. all of whom mira
culously escaped. with only slight in
juries. Most of the imperiled ones
were women and children. The men
named had been insisting on the en-
fOrcement of the State Prohibitory law
and the penalty is their beautiful homes
are in atoms.
Indignation meetings are being held
throughout the State at which leading
citizens charge that Democratic Gov.
Boies is largely responsible for the dia-
bolical deed in that he has done all he
could to bring the law into contempt
by pardoning liquor sellers and other
wise winking at the wholesale viola
ton of the law. Boies nor his party
friends seem to be able to make reply
to these damaging charges, though
they are publicly and repeatedly made
before audiences composed of hun
dreds and thousands of people of all
political faiths.
$4,000 reward is offered by private
citizens for the arrest and conviction
of the dastardly fiends who did the
terrible deed. and the best detectives
were hot on their tracks at last &C
counts.
Here is fresh food for thought.
Think of it! The business that breeds
such scoundrels and crimes has
been taken under the sheltering wing
of the great Democratic party of the
Nation which is loyalty supported by
thousands of church members and even
some ministers. Shame, where is
thy blush?" No wonder the army of
skeptics increases.

The newspapers and law abiding peo-
pie all over the country are praising
Judge Chrisman for the bold, brave,
heroic stand he took to check the arm
ed body of men who went to Brookha-
ven last week for the purpose of releas-
ing the White Caps confined in the
county jail, but with that modesty
which is the inherent characteristic OF
brave men everywhere, he claims no
credit for himself, but bestows all the
honor upon the citizens of Brookha-
ven, Sheriff McNair, Gov. Stone and
others who rendered timely assistance
in maintaining the supremacy of the
law. Glorious man! The good people
of Mississippi have always loved you
and will honor you for all time to come!

President Cleveland fears that il will

to pass such financial measures as he
wants II is not the Presidents bust
ness to make the laws, but to execute
them He has the right to suggest such
measures as he thinks best, but If Con
gress should differ from him on the
financial question, we are sure he should
not try to cocrce Congress by the use
of the vast power of his Office. If he
should be able to prevent free coinage
and more liberal financial policy,
what excuse would the Democratic
Congressman he able to make to their
constituents? They could not say that
the Senate stands i'll the way, for the
Senate is now Democratic. They could
not say. there is now sufficient quaint
ty of money, for the times are so hard,
there is an army of tramps. 1t is safe
to say there are more people out of
employment in the United States now
than there ever were in the armies of
the United States and the Confederate
States at one time. 1t is estimated
that two million men and as many wo-
men are out of employment, yet no ag
ricultural occupation pays what it
ought, and mining and manufactures
are sorely depressed.
Free coinage and more money would
party carry out its pledges? If it fails,
we do not know of any good excuse it
can offer the people. Vicksburg Conn

years since there were twelve licensed
saloons in Clarksdale; today, under
the high license there are three. The
same ratio will hold good all over the
country, so that the revenue. at least
for levee purposes and newspapers has
been wonderfully decreased. 1t looks
now as If the fathers of the dram shop
chapter were bent on wiping out the
Delta newspapers along with the sa-

they could not have pursued better
course or enacted a more monopolistic
law than the high license scheme
Newspaper patronage in the Delta has
always been slim, and this source of

many of them out. Doubtless the
small fry politicians had this object in
view when they passed the high license
