of eleve house and senate bills in
troduced during the session, which
sought tocreate new counties in the
state, Senator Crosno's bill was
the only one that became a law,
and this was the result of Senator
Crosno's indefatigable efforts, as.
sisted hymany prominent men of
what is low Lincoln county, and
the manifest justice of the end
sought fu iii the measure.

The second edition of the December
Worlds Fair Cosmopolitan brings the
total up to the extraordinary figure of
100000 copies, an unprecedented result
in the history of magazines. Four
hundred thousand copies-20O tons
ninety four million pages to
fill 200 wagons with 1000 pounds each
in single line, in close order. this
would be file of wagons more than a
mile and half long. This means not
less than 100000 readers, scattered
throughout every town and village in
the United States. The course of The
Cosmopolitan for the past twelve
months may be compared to that of a
rolling SNOWFALL; more subscribers
mean more money spent in buying the
best articles and best illustrations in
the world: better illustrations and bet
ter articles mean more subscribers,
and so the two things are acting and
reacting upon each othes until it seems
probable that the day is not far distant
when the magazine publisher will be
able to give so excellent an article that
it will claim the attention of every in
telligent reader In the country.

DEMOCRATIC DISCORD.

The Wilson tariff bill was reported
to the House last Tuesday. a Wash
ington special to the New Orleans Pic
ayune says unless the Democrats come
together in the Senate and House and
display some sort of concert of action,
the Republican minority will practi-
cally control the proceedings. There
never was such division in congress
ional majority. The silver debate was
the primary source of the disorganiza-
ton and the open opposition on the
part of many Democrats to the admin
istration policies has destroyed the
unity so necessary to effective legisla-
ton.

Pardened by Governor Stone Last Satur-
day.
JACKSON, MISS, Dec. 23.-Seven hap
Ply men left here at midnight ON the
Illinois Central train to have Christ
mas dinners with their wives and chill
dren with whom they have not taken a
meal since last May. They were Alex.
Reeves, Martin Moak. Dodd Simmons,
Reuben Leonard, James Robertson,
Rowan Moak, of Lincoln county. and
j. p Tison, of Copiah, the white cap
pers whose early pardon was predicted.
George Shields, of Copiah, was not par
doned because the published petition
as requested by the constitution had
not yet been received.
AS already stated, these men had
made model prisoners. Their families
were dependent upon their labor for
support. They are illiterate and have
sufficiently felt the majesty of the
law. Governor Stone, late this after
noon went to the prison and made them
a talk. He told them they owed it to
themselves, their families, to their
country and the State, to him and
Judge Chrisman, who had asked that
they be pardoned, to become exem-
plary citizens. They were visibly
touched by the Governors clemency,
and promised to make atonement for
the past.

In tho Senate last week Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts, presented a
unique petition on the subject of good
roads. The petition, which he said was
signed by about 10000 citizens of the
United States for the establishment of
a department of roads as a department
of executive administration in the gov
eminent, was wound on two immense
rolls, which were supported by wooden
and iron frames ten feet high. 1t re-
quired the efforts OF several employees
to wheel the immense petition into the
Senate Chamber. The petition was re-
ferred to the committee on interstate
commerce. Mr.. Cockrell, of Missouri,

The State of South Carolina, says
the New Orleans Picayune, seems to
have solved the penitentiary problem
more satisfactorily than almost any
other State. The late report of the SUI
perintendent shows that the profits
for the past year exceed the expenses
by nearly s24. 900, and that the peni-
Tertiary owns fine lot of cattle and
hogs, and is able to hold all its cotton
for the best prices, not yet having sold
pound. Many improvements have
been made and paid for, including i'm
proved quarters for the officers and
guards and electric power for the ma
chinery. Altogether the business
seems to be conducted on a most sat
isfactory basis.

SAM JONES STRIKES BACK.

Some one keeps sending me copies
of Virginia newspapers in which they
score me right and left. | have held
evangelistic meetings in Norfolk; Rich
mond, Lynchburg, Danville, Staunton,
&c, but the five days that spent in
Augusta county, Va, in the interest of
Prohibition and against whisky has
called down upon my head the male
dictions of many little red nose edi-
tors, some few hypocritical church
men, and occasionally jackass. They
say that Virginia has declared by her
last election against Populist, Wing
ism, and Sam Joneism. Yes, In horn.
Old Augustus county, Va, where [
made several speeches in the interest
of the Prohibition candidate, who was
Yankee soldier and who had been in
the county only two years, and where
they claimed a rock-ribbed Democrat
ic majority of eighteen hundred and
seventy odd, and where they had
Democratic candidate born and raised
in the county-a Democrat who had
served the Democratic party since he
was twenty one years old, almost; had
served two terms in the House and one
in the Senate, and to the manor born
yet, we cut down their Democratic
majority for their plumed and groom
ed candidate to less than four hun
dred. Why don't they tell these things
while they are telling their other Demi
john-cratic lies -? My friends need not
be uneasy about their uncle Jones. l
will tote my skillet, God helping me,
and never be moiested by any of the
gang until l clear the State in which /
have worked, and then they will whoop
and howl-Sdm Jones.

The Rev. Father Mahoney, of Brook

"Never in all my experience has
Brooklyn been in such condition as
at present. Hundreds of families are
starving, and, unless relief comes, and
that speedily, the results will be ap.
palling to contemplate. | have seen
strong men, steady and industrious,

their starving children. For months
they have been out of employment.

a success. 1 have been very much sur
prised at the orders which come to me
for Wilkinson's Matchless Water

liable letters certifying that the water
has cured them of indigestion and sew
eral of la grippe.
| have received letter from prom
inent lady of your county, certifying
and recommending it to her friends

anxious to know from parties which
paper they read my ads from would
like to show you some of the testi-
monials from readers of your paper

LAWRENCE rKoHrnrrIoNIsrs.
Lecturer Posey Thinks They are OF Divers
and Various Kinds.

Does not Accept DIR. Teunisson's Version
of His Reception at Monticello.
Editor Of The Mississippi Leader
Ny visit to Lawrence was one of
business, and proved to be one of part
pleasure and part sadness. Owing to
the inclemency of the weather, l did
not visit as many neighborhoods as L
wished to. My first appointment at
Monticello was failure on account OF
rain. On account of bereavement IN
one of the families at Silver Creek, L
changed my appointment there from
Friday night to Monday night. found
some strong party Prohibitionists
there. who are not afraid for people to
know what they are, and some who
have not the courage to stand up for
right as long as the right is i'll the min
ority. l found many who claim to be
Prohibitionists locally. but are not po-
litically. | lectured at Grange and
Midway school houses, both north of
Silver Creek. At the latter | had a
large and attentive audience.
My second appointment at Month
cello was failure, because | could not
get an audience. The Bible says ::
1.-THE wicked flee when no man pur-
sueth," and DIR. Teunisson's letter in
the last issue of THE LEADER, illus
trates that fact. Before | reached
home, he penned you a letter to try to
correct what he knew had been inten-
tionally done; denying a charge before
it had been made. There was vigi-
liant, determined effort made to pre-
vent me having an audience. One OF
the leading business men there told
me on Friday morning, in the presence
of three others, two of them | did not
know, but they both said they were
subscribers to THE LEADER, that he
and several others had been talking
about it, and had decided it would not
be best for me to speak there. Another
very conspicuous character said: 1--WE
learn that you are trying to organize a
party in opposition to the Democratic
party"
Another said: II am in favor of re-
form. | want to see the powers of
Wall street overthrown. | want to see
the Democratic party take up Prohibi-
ton and al the other reforms"
That man knows how the Democrats
voted in Congress on the liquor ques-
ton, but last fall he helped to elect
the same old soaks again. If he is for
reform, why doesn't he show his col
ors? Why doesn't he get Prohibi-
tionists in his party and elect them to
office ?
As far as rush of business was con-
cerned, Sheriff Lee was the only man
who was really crowded. At the hour
appointed for speaking, nearly every
body, except those who were paying
taxes, were through and standing on
the streets, and the business men were
in their doors, or eating din
ner, or lounging about in town.
Yes, some people in Lawrence boast
of their Prohibition, but If anybody
thinks there is no whiskey used in
that county, would advise them to go
and see for themselves.
Judging from the way they talk at
Monticello, they have reached both
moral and political perfection, and
consequently need no lecturing.
Now, Mr.. Editor these are facts, and
you may give them space if you wish.
Yours for the right,
l.. ID. POSEY.
