WHAT IT MEANS.

Hon. Jas. X. Vardaman, editor of the
Greenwood Enterprise, and one of the
Cleveland Electors for the State at
large, has the following to say in his
paper on the meaning of the financial
plank in the Democratic platform:
Taking any view of it, judging it as
you may, the language used, the inter
probation of it by democratic speakers
in the canvass throughout the entire
country last fall, means nothing more
or less than the free and unlimited
coinage of siiver-It must be placed on
an equality with gold.

PERSONAL AGAIN.

For the statement that the editor of
THE LEADER will not listen to the
preaching of minister who votes the
Democratic ticket, the Signals author
ity is man whose integrity is unim-
peached and who stands as high and
sustains as grand a reputation for We
racity and honesty, not only here, but
in Brookhavnu and all over the State
as any man within the bounds of Mis-
sissippi. Those can believe it or dis
believe it who choOse.-COpidh Signal.
Holy Writ tells us of those who chose
rather to "believe a lie and be damned"
than believe the truth for the truths
sake. This is free country, and if the
editor of the Signal or any of his read
ers are animated that spirit, we sup
pose there is no help for it. However,
we wish to make two requests of the
Signal.
~ Will it be kind enough to inform
us whether the gentleman of unim-
peached integrity to whom it refers,
himself vouches for the truth of the
statement it quotes?
(2) If he does, will it please publish
his name?
If he does, and it will do this, we
will then address ourself to him di-
rect.
Meanwhile we reiterate what we
said last week, that the statement
which the Signal repeats sis of
itself as false as any lie ever invented
by the devil and uttered from the bot
tom most pit" "Facts are stubborn
things"

TESTED BY HIS OWN sTRAIGHr-EpGE

In the Copiah Signal of August 3lst,
it was editorially asserted that
Honest Pruhibitionists are bound
to distrust the sincerity of Editor
Hobbs, on that subject" etc.
To this we replied:
"If the Signal will give us the name
of any Prohibitionist who says be dis
trusts the sincerity of Editor Hobbs
touching Prohibition, we will point
out to him instanter a Prohibitionist
who cares more for one or the other OF
the old whisky licensing parties than
he does for either Prohibition or the
truth"
1t will be observed from this Ian
guage that the application of it to any
Prohibitionist whomsoever, was con-
tingent upon whether he distrusted
the sincerity of the editor of THE LEAD
Err on that subject. This is perfectly
clear to any intelligent person who
will read our paragraph.
Without pretending, however, to
name any authority on the subject, or
even being fair enough to republish
the paragraph SO its readers might see
for themselves just what we did say,
we find the Signal in its issue of the
18th inst. saying this:
There are men in this town and
other towns whom The LEADER stamps
as caring more for one of the old par
ties than they do for Prohibition or
the TRUTH" etc.
In the course of the same article the
editor of the Signal says :
ITO tell part of the truth is the bas-
er sort of falsehood and is more dan
gerous and damning than plain, unvar-
nished lying"
And again the week preceding he
said
moral philosophy teaches us that
wilful Misrepresentation is worse than
falsehood."
Now the editor of the Signal shall
not grossly pervert our words and pre-
iudice us in the minds of his Prohibi-
ton readers, many of them we number
among our personal friends, without
being squared and tested by his own
straight edge. 1t is therefore submit
ted to all candid readers. that unless,
when he wrote the language quoted, he
had interviewed the "honest Prohibi-
itionists'' of Hazlehurst and 'other
towns land we don't see why he
wasn't courteous enough to con-
suit "honest". country Prohibition
lists too and knew of certainty
that they do '.distrust the sincerity of
the editor of The LEADER" he stands
convicted by his own words of one of
the meanest of acts. In other words
that though he may have studied
"moral philosophy" a little in his
time he is as awkward in it's practice
as COW on skates. And, moreover,
why didn't he give the names?

Senator Stewart Of Nevada, created
sensation in the Senate Saturday by
introducing the following, which was
construed as direct thrust at Mr..
Cleveland:
Resolved, That the independence of
the coordinate departments of the
government-the legislative, the exec
utive and the judicial-must be main
tanned and the use of power and infiu-
ence of one department to control the
action of another is violation of the
constitution and destructive of our
form of government.

The Plea of q Plutocrat.

EDITOR BULLETIN
ences between Judge Hartwell and
myself, as to the administration of
criminal justice in our courts, l op-
pose his proposition to demand a
deposit of S25 (or any other sum) by
each appealing defendant, on the
ground that such an exaction would
be harsh and oppressive toward the
poor. Eccentric as such statement
may appear to Mr.. Hartwell and
other Bostonese in our midst, I yet
believe that poverty is not, per Sc, a
crime, and that man, though he be
poor, may still possess some rights
which the law and the community
should respect. No one better than
Mr.. Hartwell should know that the
exaction demanded by him in this
controversy would be a virtual
denial of the right of jury trial, to a
large proportion of those who are
prosecuted for misdemeanors. The
majority of such defendants in our
courts are poor, and could not COM
ply with SO harsh, unreasonable and
unnecessary an exaction. The only
alternative would be to go to Jail,
whether guilty or innocent.
AS to the citation by Judge Hart
we'll, Of precedent for such pro-
posed ''reform" from "the old COM
monwealth in which he was born"
(Massachusetts), l have to remark
the tardiness of his conversion to
the principle of that precedent. In
1878, Judge Hartwell, Judge Dole
and myself prepared, and reported
to the Legislature, the original draft
of our present Judiciary Act. In
1892 Judge Hartwell, acting in con-
cert with the Judiciary Committee
of the Legislature, assisted in very
thorough discussion and revision
(where revision was deemed desira-
ble) Of that original draft. Later in
1892, Judge Hartwell, as the paid
attorney of the Legislature, made q
final inspection and revision of the
text of that act, for the purpose OF
discovering any latent defects and
suggesting any needed amendments
therein. As it finally came from his
hands with some verbal amend
ments, possibly, the Judiciary Act
passed into law. Section 6S of thai
Act, as it came from the hands of it.
present critic, allows ten days il
which to perfect appeals, and re
quires no deposit nor bond for cost!
in criminal appeals. If such provi
sions were good enough for ever
Judge Hartwell, last October, why
are they not good enough for tho
rest of US to-day? Why have we no
earlier heard Of the precedent from
the old commonwealth in which
was born?"
In conclusion, permit the assur
ance, Mr.. Editor, that l fully reci
procate the absence of personal il
will toward my opponent in thi
controversy, SO affably expressed b.

1T WANTS SOMETHING TO SAY.

Sapient as ever, the Star advo-N
Gates the Introduction Of the grand.
jury system here, to prevent the
bringing of vexatious criminal pro-
secutions--particularly against edi-
tors for libel. In view Of its propos-
ed REFORM" the Star may be asked
how it is that in countries where the
grand jury has always existed, the
members of the press have
lately been constrained to agitate,
sometimes with success, for laws
to prevent the same evil
Of vexatious prosecutions. The
grand jury does not prevent vexa-
tious prosecutions any more than
the Hawaiian system, where the pre-
siding Judge of jury term exam
ines the committal papers and writes
true bill' or "no bill" on the indict-
nent just the same as a grand
Jury does. Committing magistrates
perform their functions just the
same where there is grand jury as
in this country where there is none,
and if the average magistrate does
his duty faithfully it is the exception
to have his commitments disavowed
by the grand jury. Indeed, for years
past there has been an agitation in
many parts for the abolition of
the grand jury, as some of its
functions, of Legislative kind, once
important have been made obsolete
by the extension of incorporated
municipal government to counties
and comparatively small towns. 1t
has come to pass, for another reason
in favor of grand jury abolition,
that the grand jury appointments
in small shires seriously interfere
with the range of selection of the
really more important petit jury
panel. Moreover, what with ex-
emptions and the growth of demo-
cratic equality, it has been found
hat grand jurors prove not to be
east in so much more superior
moulds than the men drawn for petit
Jurors as to justify a perpetuation ol
he distinction between them fol
my practical utility that may be
eft to the grand jury. Indeed, a:
gross scandals have developed in the
grand jury's secret chamber as il
the trial jury's retiring room.

At a recent session of the Coun-
ellis, the Minister of Finance referred
in tones of dismay to the cost of
public printing. However, the Gov
ernmeut continues it's waste of mo-
ney in the same direction. All off =.
cial advertisements in one Govern
ment organ are duplicated in the
other. There was never such a
throwing away of public money in
the flushest times under the mon
archy. 1t is an entire waste SO far as
the Star is concerned, as the bulk of
that papers editions is given away
as samples and sold in bundles for
wrapping paper. 1t was reported
lately that President Dole said it
was extremely offensive to the Gov
ernment to have the Advertiser and
Star referred to as Government or
gans." But how is the President to
get out of it, in face of the fact that the
Star only lives by the virtue of Gov
ernment's bounty; while the Adver
tiser's boasted ''enterprise" is wholly
based on it's bleeding of the treas
ury for advertising, at rates from
two to ten times as high as it car
get from business houses?
