Just Like He Did.

There are 1S0000 office holders. Cleveland has appointed less than 30,000, He has been in office nearly nine months. That's a fine showing for Democratic President, iSn it2 Pine Bluff Commercial.
 He is doing just like he did from 1885 to 1SS9, and nothing better can be expected. The country is sick of Cleveland.-TeXarkana Democrat
 In 1884 Mr. Cleveland gave vic tory to the Democratic party after it had slumbered Rip Van Wrinkle like for twenty years. In 1885 he kept his pledges in regard to civil service reform In 1885 he sur prised even the members of his own party by the unqualified stand which he took in favor of tariff re- duction. The delivery of that mes sage is an epoch in our history From 1886 to 1889 he acted upon his own responsibility, untrammeled by popular elamor and unfettered by local prejudice. He would not submit to dictation from any one. He was elected President and he acted as President. Truly he is acting just like he did during his preceding term He is speaking forth the convictions of his heart. He may not fill vacancies fast enough to suit some who have been disap- pointed more than once in that par ticular; still government is not a creation for the sole benefit of office seeking politicians.
 The President is trying to accom- plish general good. He can see a need beyond the confines of his own county
 Every word (except the last sen tenee) quoted above is true. More. it is creditable. The people are proud of the facts as there stated.
 Is thecountry really sick of Gleve- land?

men, was on his feet. He said this union had appealed to the governor and had been ignored. It was considered an affront to the Federation of Labor. A dozen men were on their feet in an instant demanding to be heard.
 President Madden left the chair and took the floor himself He said that he considered Governor Altgeld had in- suited organized labor and that he would mail him to the wall" He de- clared that he had 200, 900 union men back of him who said that the governor should be ''done ups for his affront to them even if he was president of the United States himself. After Madden concluded immense excitement pre- vailed and everybody wanted to talk, and those who talked shouted at the top of their voices while speaking. Captain Powers called Altgeld sneak and said that although he rode beside him on Labor day in Chicago he considered him 8 traitor to labor. 1t is folly" he said ito say that union labor should support him because he pardoned the anarchists. As we'll might the murder CTS, robbers and embezzlers whom he had pardoned form 8 union for his SUD- port. 5
 A dozen others spoke in the same vein, one advising that Altgeld be turned out of office.
 The discussion lasted two hours and half, and at times it looked as though the delegates would come to blows. The foes of Governor Altgeld outnum- bered his friends two to one, and he was criticised unmercifully.

Addresses by President Kethley. State
Lecturer Burkitt and Others.
Editor Mississippi Leader:
| visited the Copiah county Alliance
held with Pleasant Hill Alliance, on
the "a and % of October Thirteen
subordinate lodg were represented.
Mr.. VIM. NJ. Kethley was installed as
President of the county Alliance on
the morning of the first day, and deliv-
cred very interesting and pointed ad-
dress to the members of the Order,
which was ordered published in the
Copiah Signal and all papers friendly
to the Alliance cause. The meeting
as whole was instructive, but space
forbids me giving a detailed account
of all the proceedings; two things how
ever | can not forbear. First, they
adopted county life insurance of
which any member in good standing
in the Alliance may have the benefit,
by paying small iniation fee and
quarterly dues. Upon the death of
any member of the company, there
will be an assessment of fifty cents up
on each member in order to raise an
amount of money, which shall 60 to
the bereaved or legal claimants of the
deceased; said amount never to exceed
$4,000. Second, they adopted the
Ithiolr Mnccnnrn,. fhoir llianno
paper and The MISSISSIPPI LEADER as
their Prohibition paper.
The second day was devoted mostly
to public speaking. Capt. Burkitt
spoke for nearly two hours upon the
leading issues of the Alliance and Peo-
pies party. His speech was able, to
the point and very enthusiastically re-
ceived.
Mr.. N. M. Hollingsworth made a
short and instructive Alliance speech
in the evening, and your humble cor
respondent made an effort to show up
the Prohibition cause, but for lack of
time did not get to complete the
speech as it was outlined. The Peo-
pies party movement in Copiah is very
strong and quite sure of success in
the State Senatorial contest. Prohibi-
ton, to which the party is unequivocal-
ly committed will be held well in the
foreground as one of the issues
of the campaign. Capt. Bur-
kilt has promised to make number
of Peoples party speeches before the
campaign closes. Mr.. Kethley, their
nominee, is man of unimpeachable
character, and if elected will faithfully
serve his constituents. May the Lord
give them the victory.
Yours for the right,
L. d. PosEY.

Was too Previous.

The New York World, the unreason-
able and intolerant advocate OF I'M
conditional repeal, the day it was an
nounced that the compromise had fal-
len through and the repeal bill would
undoubtedly pass, pointed with glow
ing pride to the fact that cotton ad-
vanced twenty points. With this as a
text, the World proceeded to read the
Southern Senators a severe lecture on
their perverseness for having opposed
the measure, and asked how were they
to answer to their constituents for the
millions of dollars they had lost by
their obstructive policy.
Since then cotton has steadily de-
clined and continues daily on the
down grade. The repeal bill is still
considered certainty, showing that
it has had nothing to do with the ad-
vance. Silence, under the circum-
stances, is golden, and the World has
since pursued that policy. Clarion

Chief Justice Harper's Lament.

Mr. Cleveland and his partisans may
congratulate themselves on successful
ly steering the repeal bill through the
senate, but in doing so they turn their
backs on strong and respectable ele-
ment of the voting population, and
drive away from the Democratic party,
at critical moment, thousands who
had come to us because they were tired
of the Capitalization of the old Repub-
lican party and it's policy of doing the
bidding of Wall street. Raymond

A SCRAP OF HISTORY.
Why the President Decided to Reject
the Compromise.

Gov. Russell and Senator Sherman Pay
Him a Sunday Visit.
Now that it is known that the Presi-
dent has quashed the compromise bill,
the reasons for this change on the.part
of the Chief Executive are given 10y a
Washington correspondent. With one
small pieces the compromise scheme
which the Democratic executive COM
mittee, headed by Mr.. German, had
so deliberately constructed. as it was
supposed, with the tacit consent of the
President himself and the express con
sent of at least1 two members of the
Cabinet.
The influences which were brought
to bear upon Mr.. Cleveland were quite
this most remarkable episode. At his
Cleveland yes terday had two visitors
Massachu sets. Gov. Russell told the
promise bill would destroy any hopes
ing Massachusetts, not only now, but
for years to come.
The other visitor was Senator Sher-
man. Mr.. Sherman himself describes
what he had told Mr.. Cleveland. Sen
ator Sherman impressed upon the Pres
ident's mind that a great crisis has
been reached in the affairs of the gov
eminent. The compromise bill. he de
clared. was worse than the existing
law. To pass the compromise, or even
simply repeal, without providing for
an issue of bonds would be Madness
The compromise was worse than the
existing law because it added 100000
600 to the amount of silver in circula-
ton, took out of the treasury the seig-
niOrage bullion which was placed
there to protect parity, and made no
provision for the maintenance of the
gold reserve, which is the pledge of
the Governments ability to protect its
issues.
Whether Secretary Carlisle was i'm
posed upon by the traders and compro-
misers of the steering committee, or
whether he went farther in arranging
terms than he had authority from the
President to go, and when the Presi-
dent called him down, had nothing to
do but to throw responsibility on 9TH
er parties, the future will probably de-
velope. The odd thing about the mis-
understanding is that Voorhees,, Pal
mer, Gray, White, Mcpherson and other
radical repealers were misled, and sup
posed the Administration, through Mr..
Carlisle, had agreed to the plan.

Prof. j. b. Lehman, of Edwards,
Miss, writes Permit me to COM
mend you on the conduct of The LEAD
Err: especially on your firm stand
against mob law. The liquor traffic is
father of all kinds of anarchy and
mob violence, and it is the part of the
Prohibition press to put purer
thoughts into the minds of the peo-
pie. If we had few brave papers in
every State, which would exert such
influence, the lawless would soon be
suppressed. There are many offenses
which by their outward appearances
seem to justify any sort of procedure,
but there is no limit or stopping place
no place to draw the line"

cuIcAGo's MAYOR AssAssINATED.

On last Saturday evening at
o'clock, Carter II. Harrison, mayor of
the city of Chicago, was assassinated
in the dining room of his residence by
Eugene Patrick Prendergast, feeble
minded fellow who had been an aspir-
ant for the office of corporation coun.
sci and been refused. This, the muir
derer stated. was the cause of his aw-
full crime. At any time such an uneX-
pected fatality would have caused a
sensation; but occurring while the eyes
of the world are turned toward the
great White City. and Just ten days be
fore the anticipated nuptials of the
mayor with Miss Howard of New Or
leans, the sad affair partakes of the
most pathetic, romantic and fascina-
ting tragedies the mind can conceive.
Many of the brilliant displays that
were to mark the closing days of the
Fair have been abandoned. In his
last speech, made nine hours before
his death, he said: Il believe ] will see
the day when Chicago will be the
greatest city in America. l intend to
live for more than half a century when
London will be trembling lest Chica-
go shall surpass her" Mr.. Harrison
was 6S years of age, man of fine
physique whose physicians assert that
but for violence or accident he could
have lived a score of years longer. He
often declared that he worshiped in
the "Church of Nature"
