The Grenada Sentinel Dem.) de-
nounces Cleveland as 'a cold, selfish,
brutal skulker and despot, who stands
to-day scorned by the Democracy"
The Pearl River News, an other
Democratic organ published on the
banks of the glittering stream whose
name it bears, affectionately refers to
Grover as "this selfish old hog" Many
other Democratic journals are indulg-
ing in like denunciation of the great |
Am of Buzzard's Bay. However, if the
Wall street National bankers should
make Cleveland the nominee of the
Democratic party two years hence for
third term, these same subservient
little me-too Democratic editors in
Mississippi who are now heaping all
manner of abuse upon him, would in
stantly turn about and go to singing the
great Growers praises and proceed to
denounce as a traitor to his country
every man in the State too intelligent,
patriotic and independent to throw up
his hat and join in the chorus.

Meets With Universal Approval.

The action of the U. s. grand jury in
refusing to indict the governor, audi
tor and State treasurer on the charge
of counterfeiting, by issuing treasury
warrunts, as alleged, in imitation of
government issues of money, has met
with universal approval by the people
all over the State.
That was neat little scheme in
spired by the Bankers Association to
head off the money supply in Missis-
sippi, put check on the idea that
longtime bonds could be dispensed
with, and at the same time remove this
State scrip as menace to the nation
al bankers interests, who are arrogat-
ing to themselves the power to issue
sue money to the people, but it failed.
That this prosecution was suggested
by the banks there is not doubt in
the minds of those who are keeping
tab on Shylock's conspiracy begun in
this country more than thirty years
ago, but for once Attorney General Oh
ney, as the tool of the corporations,
has failed in his calculations.-Missis-
sippi POpulist.

Hazlehurst has lately been the scene
of sensational divorce suit, the prin-
cipals to same being Mrs. Annie Lanier
Mayes and Estate Senator, r. b.
Mayes, the wife appearing as the
plaintiff. The papers were filed last
July, but up to two weeks ago, all pub
licity concerning the case was sup
pressed. Mrs Mayes, who was repre-
scented by Messrs. Dodds and Ramsey,
charged her husband with "habitual
drunkenness and cruel treatment"
This Mr.. Mayes, represented by Messrs.
Miller and Sexton, vigorously denied.
After several days consumed in hear
ing the sensational testimony and then
talking the case under advisement for
fuller consideration, Chancellor Conn
rendered decision last week, holding
that the testimony did not sustain the
charges and refused to grant a divorce,
Both parties are of high social rank.
Mrs. Mayes was Miss Annie Lanier
of New Orleans, daughter of Col. La
nier, State Land Commissioner. The
couple were married in 1892, after a
four weeks acquaintance, at the Brown
House, at Hazlehurst, the marriage be-
ing a Gretna Green affair.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

General Wreck.

Democrats Save seed" Out of the
General Wreck.
Washington, Nov. 2S.-Not until to-
day have the officials of the house felt
sufficient confidence in their unofficial
list of representatives in the Fifty
fourth congress to send it to the print
er. AS finally prepared, the list shows
244 Republicans, 1o4 Democrats, six
Populists, one silver and one vacant.
The Republicans will constitute more
than two-thirds of the house member
ship. -Sectionally, the Republican ma
jority will be divided as follows: New
England States, 26; Old Middle States,
&c; Middle Western States, 92; far WeS-
tern States, %; Southern States, 3.
The Democrats secure only thirteen
members in the Northern States; Cali
fornia and Massachusetts, contribute
one each; Illinois, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania one each, and New York five.
The Democrats secure six solid State
delegations, those of Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, louisiana, Mississippi and
South Carolina. The Republicans Sc
cure nineteen solid delegations, those
of Connecticut, Daleware, Idaho, In
diana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota,
Montana. Iowa, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode
Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Wash
ington, West Virginia.
In all, twenty eight contests may be
made from the Southern States, and a
majority of them are to be instituted
by Republican candidates against DEM
ocrats, but it now appears probable
that there will not be so many. Mr..
Myers, who it was expected would wage
a contest for the seat from the Sixth
Arkansas district, is now quoted as
saying that he will make no effort to
secure the seat in the face of the fact
that his opponent is credited with a
5000 majority, Late advices also indi-
cate that Lee Crandall will abandon
the contest against Gen. Wheeler for
the seat from the Eighth Alabama dis
trict.

The present Democratic Congress
will not impeach Cleveland for unlaw-
fully issuing bonds, because of the par
ty scandal and disruption which would
ensue. And the Republican Congress
which succeeds it will not attempt it,
for the reason that the Republican
party is as completely dominated by
Wall Street influences as the Cleveland
Administration. The money sharks full
ly understand this, and hence they
snap their fingers in the peoples face
and insolently ask, what are they GO
ing to do about it? Nevertheless the
day of reckoning is coming.

JUSTICE TO THE ropuLrsrs.

Editor Of the Mississippi Leader;
As many of the Democratic papers
of the State have tried to create an
incorrect impression regarding the
strength of the Peoples party IN Mis-
sissippi, | appeal to The LEADER,
which is always ready to do justice to
all sides, to publish few facts and
figures.
1t is true, as they claim, that the
Peoples party vote has fallen Oft IN
every district except the 9th; but
they are coreful not to state that the
Democratic vote has fallen off in erery
district.
0fcourse we cannot expect as heavy
a vote to be polled in an ''off' election
as in a Presidential election, but the
falling off of over 40 per cent. in the
Democratic vote in "Private" John
Aliens district was a much greater
loss than was sustained by the Popu-
lists anywhere.
In 1892 the pc1ulists carried but
four counties in the State: Chickasaw,
Choctaw, Pontotoc and Webster.
This year they carried those four and
added Amite, Alfalfa and Marion to
their list, and lacked but three.votes OF
tying with the Democrats in Frank
lin. Two years ago they received
about % per cent of the total vote of
the State. This year they received over
80 per cent. The following table shows
the percentage of the total vote re-
eeived by the POpulists in 1892 and
1894, as computed from the official re-
turns, published in the ClariOnLed-
ger. 1t will be seen that the Populist
loss exceeded the Democratic loss in
but one distriet<the second, and..even
in that district it is almost too trifling

Miss Willard and the Labor Movement.

In her address before the National
w. G. r. U. at Cleveland last Friday
Miss Willard touched upon many 9TH
er subjects than temperance, that at
tracing most attention being her dis
cussion of the labor question. She be-
lieves that here is one of the most i'm
portant matters for settlement and
admits that proper adjustment Of
wages that shall give every laborer a
fair return and thus practically abol-
ish poverty, will have large influ-
ence upon morality and temperance.
She suggests that each union strive to
secure joint organization of the vo-
ters of the Prohibition and Populist
parties for the discussion of the OBJ
jects both are striving for, with the
purpose of ultimately securing united
political action when a common basis
can be found. 1t does seem as though
any one ought to see that the only
hope of the country is in re-organiza-
ton of parties along new lines.-The
Patrol.

will close the saloons throughout the
state and permit liquor sales only in
definitely regulated dispensarics that
cannot be run for drinking purposes.
Governor Tillman positively annOun-

OF South Carolina that there can be
no question of the permanency OF the
dispensary law ir popular approval
and the uncompromising abolition OF
saloons.

DIR. GAMBRELL BEFORE THE GEoR-
GA LEGISLATURES.

A copy of the Macon, Ca, Tele-
graph is at hand containing full text
of a speech made in Atlanta Nov. goth,
by Rev. DIR. J. d. Gambrell, before
the Senate and House Committees on
Temperance, of the Georgia Legisla-
ture, in support of the Bush Anti-sa-
loon bill.
The speech is in DIR. Gambrelrs
clearest and tersest style, and the re-
port states it made marked i'm
preston on the large audience and
members of the Legislature who heard
it. We gather from the speech that
the Bush Dispensary bill, as it is call
ed, is measure to prohibit saloons
in the entire State of Georgia, and
confine the sale of liquors to strictly
necessary and proper purposes
through the medium of dispensaries,
under supervision of the State, the
dispensaries themselves only being
established in response to majority
petition of the voters of county or
municipality.
Hon. Walter b. Hill, son of the re-
nowned Ben. Hill, addressed the Leg
islature in support of the bill the
same night. Mr.. Hill, like DR.. Gam
brell, is a pronounced Party Prohi-
bitionist, and both spoke Oh the oc-
casion in question in response to
special invitation of the Georgia Leg.
islature, which is Democratic. Ger
tainly no higher tribute could have
been paid to the ability, zeal and sim
cerity of Party Prohihitionists. 1t
shows that even a body of Democrat
ic lawmakers understand perfectly
who the real friends and opponents OF
Prohibition and morality are.

The Printers Know Them.

A contemporary says that newspaper
subscriptions are infallible tests of a
mans dishonesty They will sooner or
later discover the man. If he is dis
honest he will cheat the printer some
way; say he has receipt somewhere,
or sent the money and it was lost in
the mail; or he will take the paper and
not pay for it on the ground that he
did not order it; or will move away
leaving it to come to the Office he left.
Thousands of professad Christians are
dishonest in this particular, at least
