II. l.. LOuckS.
SIR:-Yours of the 18th instant is
received. In reply will say that we
deny that you, or the ETecutiUe Com
mittee, had the right to condemn the
National Economist without a trial
The special authority conveyed by the
Supreme Council at Memphis, clearly
prohibited you from taking the action
you did take, and the methods you en-
ployed, because the power of the com
mittee was expressly limited by 1.-The
honor of the Alliance and the interests
of justice" and your committee per
formed dishOnOrable, cowardly and
traitorous act in the name of the Ali
ance, and violated every principle of
justice, when you instituted a secret
war on the Economist at the instiga-
ton and to crafty the malice of GER
tain party leaders that had been ex-
posed by it.
DishonOrable, because you tried to
violate plain contract upon which
we had invested all that we possess,
relying upon the good faith of the
Alliance; cowardly, because you never
dared confront us with any charges, or
give us any chance to answer whatever
of complaint you had against us, and
you make the first charge ever made
against us in your decree; traitorous,
because you have acted the traitor to
the order by prostituting your office
to base and personal use.
1t is oar purpose TO run The National
Economist as the national official Organ
Of the Alliance for the ten gears agreed

OUR SPRING GREETING.

On this gladstone April day The
LEADER. with the spring time birds and
flowers, comes out to greet its friends.
both old and new, and to lend what JOY
it may to those most exacting friends
the enemy" who will continue to Dor
row the paper as of yore and to talk it
down, while it mounts higher and high
err toward the eternal heights of truth
and right.
Although its temperance has been
delayed somewhat longer than at first
anticipated, it will be the stronger and
better for the delay. For reasons OF
economy the domicile of the paper has
been changed from jackson, where it
was published last year, back to Brook
haven, its old home. 1t was carried
to Jackson solely on the idea that it
could better serve the cause of reform
at the Capital. but experience proved
that IL Jackson had any advantage at
all over Brookhayen, such advantage
was not commensurate with the differ
ence in the cost between the two places
of maintaining newspaper Hence
its return.
Mr.. B. T. Hobbs, the former proprie-
tor and editor of THE LEADER, will con
tinue as editor and business manager.
but it will hereafter be owned and pub
lished by stock company, known as
| THE MISSISSIPPI LEADER COMPANY, OF
which Mr.. Henry Ware, Chairman of
the Executive Committee of the Prohi-
bition Party of Mississippi, is the prin-
cipal stockholder. The new manage
ment will carry out all unexpired adj
yertising contracts and subscriptions,
but assumes no other liabilities of the
former proprietor. A good job print
ing outfit has been added to the office
plant and all the popular styles and
varieties of job work will be executed
with the confident guarantee of salts
faction to those who may favor us with
their patronage in this department.
character of THE LEADER will not be
essentially changed. First of all, il
will stand for the legal suppression OF
the liquor traffic, as a beverage, il
State and nation and for the only party
that is pledged to carry out this policy
Not only is the prohibition of the liquor
traffic the greatest moral reform of the
day, but it is tremendous economic, fl
nancial and political question as well,as
will be clearly demonstrated from time
to time to all readers who are amenable
to reason and willing to divest them
selves of prejudice and accept facts.
But while treating the suppression of
the liquor traffic as of prime import
ance, it will not be our policy to ignore
or minimize other needed reforms and
current questions and topics. Due at
tention will also be given to all local
matters of public concern. Above all,
The LEADER will endeavor to be an ac-
ceptable family newspaper, with strong
emphasis on the word netcs.
Having said this much of ourselves
we invite the patronage and moral
support of every worthy man and wo-
man of Mississippi, feeling, not egotis-
tically, that in proportion as the paper
is read and sustained will it be enabled
to contribute to the enforcement of
right and justice, the cultivation of
respect for law and order and the pro-
motion of all the highest and best in
terests of our beloved State.

A missionary in the Congo country
writes: ut is wicked to be Indifferent
to the awful drunkenness at home, but
it is positively satanic to deliberately
SOW the seeds of this terrible vice in &
country where it is comparatively un
known" Then he tells of the havoc
English and American rum is playing
among the natives of the Dark Cont
nent. This is something for the Chris
tian ministers and laymen, who vote
for the old parties which foster such a
policy, to think about when they vote
hereafter and when they taking
up their missionary collections.
