Prohibition Will Prohibit.

EDITOR LEADER:-When we
@began to agitate the question Oh
Prohibition in Amite county, we
had the open saloon in every
town, and besides, whisky could
be had at every country store in
the county, and at every gather
ing of the people, plenty OF
whisky was always on hand and
the men (church members too)
would drink to drunkenness; and
when the question of Prohibition
was spoken of, the whisky men
said, "Prohibition will not do, it
will destroy the business of our
towns, it will abridge the rights
of the people and will not pro-
hibit any way
Now, after trial of Prohibi-
ton for several years, we notice
the towns are getting more trade
than before, and the money that
went for whisky, is now spent
for the necessaries of life, and no
one thinks their rights abridged,
and all hands will admit, that
there is not the one-thousandeth
part drank now, that there was
before we had Prohibition. The
morals of our people are greatly
improved. and no one regrets
voting dry ticket; while those
who voted wet admit that Prohi-
bition has been a blessing to
Amite county. When we look
around and see the good Prohibi-
ton has done throughout the
country, it should stimulate every
Christian citizen to do more for
the cause of Prohibition than ever
before. We have some Prohibi-
tionists who are willing to give
their vote to get the saloon away
from their doors, but care moth
ing for their neighbors over the
way.
"Woe unto him that giveth his
ncighbor drink etc.
We fail to see how any church
member, and especially preachers,
can find any excuse for support
ing whisky parties under any cir
cumstances, for when a preacher
supports the whisky business in
any form, he is going contrary to
the doctrine he is called to preach,
and besides, he is destroying his
influence, for good, even with the
whisky element, for no one can
have much confidence in preach
er who will preach and pray one
thing and vote another, and We
hope our preachers, and especial
ly our Baptist preachers, will not
dishonor their calling by giving
their support to whisky parties
and assist in damning the souls OF
their fellow men.

South Cardinals Liquor Law
Declared UncOnstitutlOnal.

Judge Hudson, of the circuit
court at Columbia, S. c., has de-
cided for the second time that the
unique dispensary liquor law of
that State, is unconstitutional,
null and void. The late case was
the indictment of persons for sell
ing liquor contrary to the terms
of the act. The Judge quashed
the indictments on the grounds
that the Legislature had no con-
stitutional right to transfer from
citizen of the State to the Gov
ernment the exclusive right to
traffic in intoxicating liquors as q
beverage, and that the act is not
a legitimate exercise of the police
power by the State.

Dwelling Together in Unity.

In one of his speeches Senator
Dubois, Silver Republican Sena-
tor from Idaho, taunted Senator
Voorhees, and other Democrats for
uniting with the Republican lead
ers against silver in the following
sarcastic strain:
| should say, for the comfort
and cheer of the Senator from
Indiana, that the Representatives
on the Republican side of the
chamber would gladly follow un-
der that Senator's lead, even
though it be to cloture,
The Senator from Massachu-
setts (Mr. Hoar) would carry the
banner, while the junior Senator
from the same State,
MIR. LODGE, PLAYED THE. DRUM.
The distinguished Senator from
Ohio Mr.. Sherman, would prob
ably march arm in arm with the
Senator from Indiana (Mr. Voor-
hees), while the others kept close
rank.
The passage of the repeal bill
would sound the death knell OF
silver as q money metal. Nojug-
glery with words could obscure
the issue. Senators would talk
sweetly about an international
agreement forcing England to bi-
metallism, but when the pending
bill passed the doom of silver was
sealed, and the Senators all knew
that.

LETTER FROM SIMPSON.
An Old Democrat Wants to
Know About Those Reform
Pledges.

| huoW <tDout EhOSt hi
Pledges.
EDITOR LEADER:-For many
years both of the old political
parties have been denouncing
each other as being corrupt and
standing in the way of reform.
From 1860 the Republican party
has had control of the Govern
ment, except the four years of
the Cleveland dynasty, and the
seven or eight months of his pres
term.
Now, in the name of common
sense and decency we would like
to know when they say reform
what they mean. This old man
is in the dark, and would like
very much if some of the Solo
mons and would-be reformers,
sitting now in the great American
Sanhedrin, to pour on the light
and give us the Democratic def
) milton of reform; we are very anX-
ious so know what it means. If
it means less money in circula-
ton, less money for what we have
to sell, less money to pay taxes,
less money to clothc our backs,
less money to educate our child
rem, less money to improve our
farms, less money to buy tools to
And, although elected on
pledges to the people to correct
the evils perpetrated by the Re-
publican party, to cap the
climax, they, the Cleveland fol
lowers, have combined with the
men and party they once denoun-
ced to defeat the will of the peo-
pie.
1t does seem to me, as well as
to thousands of other old Demo
Gratis, that Mr.. Cleveland and his
followers are using all the means
in their power to defeat the re-
form measures promised in the
Democratic platform upon which
they were elected.
make crop, less money to build
churches and support the gospel
and send it to the heathen;- and
again, if this Democratic Re-
form means more taxation, more
whisky, more saloons, more
drunkards, more widows and or
phans, more divorces, more MUIR
ders, more riots, more paupers,
more jails and penitentiaries, more
strikes, more gamblers, and more
millionaires at the expense of the
poor of the land, d,-then we don t
want any more of that kind of re-
form.
And let me say right here, this
is the only kind of reform we
need expect to get from either of
the old parties. The Republican
party dug their own political
grave when they were in power;
and they are now assisting the
Democratic party in digging
theirs, and so we say, amen and
amen.
Oh, could l but speak to the
people of America with the trump
of God, l would say, "Turn ye,
turn ye, for why will ye die, 0
house of Israel .
The time has come for every
voter to show which side he is on,
whether on the side of God and
home, or on the side of king al

you this day whom We will serve.

A New Method of Washing.

A method of washing is being extensive
ly adopted in Germany and Belgium. One
of its special advantages is that it counter
acts the i'll effects Of soda, which is much
used in Europe upon linen. Two pounds
of soda are dissolved in three gallons of
water, and to this is added a tcaspoonful
of turpentine and three of liquid ammo
MIA. When the mixture has been well
stirred the linen is STEPPED in it for two or
three hours. During the operation the
vessel is closed as tightly as possible and
afterward the clothes are washed out and
rinsed in the usual manner
The soap and water may be used again
with the addition OF half teaspoonful Of
turpentine and a tablespoonful of ammo
mia. The process is said to save time, labor
and fuel AS there is no necessity for rub
bling the linen scarcely suffers, and its
cleanliness and color are perfect. The
ammonia evap6Tates Immediately, and the
smell Of the turpcntnei is said to disappear
entirely during the drying Of the clothes.

A Simple Cure for Earache.

81 am afraid 1 have greatly interfe1e6
with my own practice" said celebrated
aurist, ''by giving the following advice to
many of my friends:
"At the first symptoms of earache let the
patient lie on the bed with the painful ear
uppermost. Fold a thick towel and tuck
it around the neck; then with a teaspoon
fill the ear with warm water
Continue doing this for fifteen or TWEEN
ty minutes; the water will fill the ear orr
fee and flow over on the towel. After
ward turn over the head, let the water run
out and plug the ear with warm glycerin
and cotton.
This may be done every hour until re-
lief is obtained. 1t is an almost invariable
cure, and has saved many cases of acute
Inflammation. The water should be quite
warm, but not too hot London Tit-Bits.

TRUTHFULLY ADVERTISED.
An Institution That Does Not Practice or

Whist would you rink of the editor

discover that he clipped bodily the edi-
torisl columns OF y Chicsgo paper aad

You would denounCe him as literary
thief.
What would you think of advertising
physicians, should you discover that they
clipped bodily the 2-columu advertise
ment of q medical institution at Chicago
and reprinted it word for word in the
Davenport, Rock Island and Moline De i,
pers as their own-simply substituting
their name and address for that of the
Chicago institution? Such proceeding
could be designated by no milder term
than theft.
1t is n poor rule that does not work
both ways, and the German proverb He
who lies will steal" is equally applicable
when translated He who steals will lis."
The man who does not hesitate TO steal
advertising matter from those whom
heaven hath endowed with an intellect,
can hardly be esteemed worthy of public
confidence.
Practices long continued become fixed
habits. He is apt to copy the sdvertis-
ing of his superiors without discrimin-
alton. He may thus attribute 20 himself
powers that he does not possess. In the
case that we have in mind at this mo-
ment, very little self-prsise would
carry the plagiarist advertiser over the
bounds of both reason and truth.
