RAILROAD NOTES,

Total .Abstainers Are In Demand and
Drinking Men Are Not Wanted.
The various leading railroad com
panies are becoming more and more
convinced, by each years experienc
that it is not safe to have in their
employ men who drink at all. Form
crly drunkenness only was prohi bited;
now most of the companies arc
prohibiting their men from drinking at
ALL so far as it lies in their power to do
so Their experience demonstrates that
men who have been drinking and are
not apparently intoxicated are not so
clear of head and SO steady Of nerve as
men who are total abstainerA The
Rock Island Railroad company is now
vigorously enforcing a new rule, re-
quiring entire abstinence A strong
force OF detectives Is employed, and
every men found drinking is at once
dismissed. One of the latest devices in
this line is the use OF Kodac and men
in the act of drinking have thus been
photographed. OF course, that settles
it An engineer who was known never
to touch liquor was discharged for not
reporting a subordinate who did The
experience of railway companies Is val
liable to all classes of the community.
The men who drink, even in modera-
ton, are not so safe men anyway. A
community, for it's own self-protection,
ought to stop men from drinking. Pro-
hibition will do that

SILVER IN CONGRESS.

The Silver question is now squarely
before both houses of Congress.
The agreement in the House. which
is HOW being followed out. was that a
bill for the repeal of the silver-pur-
chasing clause of the SHERMAN law
should be introduced at once, follow
ed by various substitutes and amend
ments. The first amendment provides
for the repeal of the clause and the
free coinage Of silver at ratio of 16
to |. If this be defeated another
amendment for free coinage at u ratio
of II to will be voted on; then anoth-
CT amendment at "a ratio of is to l,
then - to l. Then. if all these amend
ments are defeated. another providing
the re-enactmcnt of the Bland-Allison
law which provides for the coinage of
2.W6WN silver dollars mont hly at the
present ratio will be voted ON. Then
IL vote will come on the unconditional
repeal of the silver purchasing clause
In the Senate. what is called the
Voorhees, bill is pending. This bill, re
ported by the Senate finance commit
tee by vote of 6 to ). Chairman Voor-
hces giving the deciding vote. provides
for the suspension of the purchase OF
silver bullion under the Sherman law
with declaration in the bill that it is

There are eleven members of the fl

except Jones, of Nevada, voted with
Voorhees,; all the Democrats except

next Monday. The debate begins in
i'll the Senate today, but when vote
will be reached is uncertain. Both
sides claim the victory, but at this
hour all is conjecture and speculation

=. DEMOCRATIC VIEW.
Carlisle Guilty of FooIishnrss or DupIici-
ty-Whirt

Here. when everybody is abusing sill
yer, and when it is declining all along,
| comes telegram from Washington to
the effect that Secretary Carlisle had
sent long communication to the Sen
ate on the subject of gold and silver
payments. to the effect that ION sever
al occasions recently gold coin has
been presented at the Treasury in eX-
change for silver dollars. and that the
exchange has not ben made because
silver dollars were required to be, held
i'll the treasury to cover outstanding
silver certificates, and treasury notes;
and that at present the department
would not. and could not. exchange
silver dollars for gold if requested to
do so.
Nh Carlisle may be very great fin
ancier. and he was literally compli-
mented for defeating the Wall street
bankers in their effort to force the
government to issue bonds. but to one
this far from Washington his action
as indicated above. appears as the
height of nonsense.
lie has made up his mind. it would
seem. to hold on to silver at all haz-
ards. notwithstanding the fact it is
nttu up dS tilt CduSt vi dll Otll NotS.
He declined to pay out silver when
certificates were presented payable Ell
Their III gold or silver, and paid all pre-
scented III gold. thus infringing on the
gold reserve of one hundred million
dollars. His course in this instance
may have been wise, but it is doubted.
Now he declines. when gold-the basis
of our credit and the standard metal
of the world is presented to the
treasury to exchange it for silver, be-
cause he says 'silver is required to be
held to cover outstanding silver certiii-
Gates" which he has all along paid in
gold.
The action of Secretary Carlisle
does not only appear inconsistent, but
absurd in the extreme. Ii there is
any defense for such Juggling, the
Clarion-Le fails TO perceive or
comprehend it, Clarion Ledger.

Prohibitionists, if worthy. After this
they should take as many more as they
desire or are able to pay for. 1t is not
expected that Prohibitionists should
take all the prohibition papers that are
published, but it is reasonable to ex-
pect they should all take their local
paper. The diffusion of Prohibition
principles is due more than other

TIE LEADER wishes to unite its
voice with that of the Teachers lnSti
tute and our correspondent of last
week in urging the Board of Superb
sors to supplement the public school
fund received from the State by levy
ing three mill county tax to extend
the school term from four to siN
months. There is nothing 50 costly to
a people as ignorance, and there is no
investment that pays 50 well as money
wisely spent in education. One of
the chief drawbacks to the success
of our public schools has been the
shortness of the term. Supt. Preston,
who has perhaps more thoroughly
studied the subject of public educa
ton than any man in the State, said in
his address here that the money spent
in running four-mOnth schools might
just as well be thrown away. for the
good it does the children. and strongly
favOrs an extension Of the term in
every county. THE LEADER believes in
an intelligent ballot. as the bulwark
of the Republic, and with our Consti-
tuition as it is. every child should be
left without excuse for growing up in
ignorance by having ample public
school advantages provided. All
friends of education should sign the
petitions to the Board. and it is hoped
that when the proper time comes that
honorable body will take the desired
action.

The Hay Industry in Mississippi.

JACKSON. MISS. Aug Is. Capt. +. A..
Wolfe, one of the largest haygrowers
of this vicinity, has just returned from
Vicksburg. where he went TO arrange
IA favorable rate over the Alabama d
Vicksburg Railroad and its branches
on hay. He secured rate which he
thinks will justify the haygrowers in
shipping large quantities of hay dur
ing the present season. The hay in
dustry in this section has grown to
large proportions In the last few years
The only drawback to IA larger devel-
opment of the industry has been the
high rates over the railroads. The To-
cal demand, of course. has been limit
ed, and when it was supplied the ex-
cessive rates has kept the produce
from seeking other markets to much
extent. As it is, Capt. Wolfe thinks
the industry will become much more
important to the section in the future
