John II. Anderson, for several years
the brilliant editor of the Kosciusko
Miss Star, and subsequently city at
torney of Greenville, Miss, for two
years, has been winning fresh laurels
in Texas, where he now resides. On
the 9th inst. he was elected district
attorney, on the Peoples party ticket,
of the district composed of the coun-
ties of Navarro, Limestone and Free
stone. He carried every county, over
coming Democratic majority of 1,20O
two years ago At Frost, his home
box, he led his ticket, showing how
he retains his old-time personal popu-
larity where best known. Navarro is
Senator Roger @. Mills home county,
but the Populists, under the leader
ship of the brilliant Anderson, swept
it out of the Democratic column. The
LEADER extends its cordial congratu-
lations to friend John. He has always
been courageous refOrmer, with a
conscience and convictions, and we re-
joice to see he is true in his new home
to his Mississippi record. The true
patriots of Texas will not miss it il
they take it into their heads after a
while to make him Governor.

The approaching session of congress,
which will convene on the 9Th of De-
cember, is not expected by those ia
miliar with congressional methods to
be one of great activity or productive
of much legislation. The fact that it
will continue for only three months
that it will be the last session of the
congress, and that it so closely follows
a general election are all considered as
indications that but comparatively lit
tie real work will be attempted, and
still less accomplished. The greater
part of the session will, in all proba-
bility, be commenced in an exchange
of chatting over the results of the cleo
ton, and the session will become mem
orable more on account of talk than
work. 1t is prabable that next to
nothing will be done before the Christ
mas holidays, and predictions are freely
made that it will be difficult to obtain
and maintain quorum previous to
Christmas.

HATuoRN,S CAMPAIGN.

The brilliant record as canvssser
and stump-speaker made 10y Hon. n.
c. Hathorn, candidate of the Populists
and Prohibitionists of the 9th district
for congress, has rarely been equalled
by men of great reputation in this
line, and is one of which he may we'll
feel proud. The editor of THE LEADER
heard Mr. Hathorn on two occasions
during the campaign. and when it
came to political history and to solid
argument and sound reason, impress
ed by earnest and fluent speech, no
Democrat we have heard in many
years-and we have heard most of
Mississippi's greatest-was a match for
him in debate on the real issues of the
campaign. Mr.. Hathorn met in joint
discussion during the canvass Senator
McLaurin, Lieut. Gov. Evans, Hon.
Jas. Neville, State Senators Hill and
Love. Mr.. Denny and other Democrats
of less prominence, and in no instance
could they maintain the Democratic
position with even apparent credibili-
ty, without appealing to the old preju-
dices that had no proper place in the
campaign and a resort to the most
cunning sophistry and misrepresenta-
ton. Toward the close of the cam
paign his political opponents became
so alarmed over his growing populari-
ty and the sledge- hammer blows he
was welding, half dozen able Demo
cratic speakers were placed on the
stump to turn the tide in Denny's ia
vor, including such experienced
campaigners as Congressman Stock
dale, District Attorney Neville, Major
Govan, Elk Gov. Lowry and others.
In the face of such odds as these and
with not friendly newspaper in his
district to champion his cause, the I'M
pretentious, but honest and intelligent
farmer candidate of Marion county
who had right and justice on his side,
carried two of the largest counties in
his district, and when the official re-
turns are all in, they will no doubt
show that he came nearer election than
any opponent of Democracy in the
State. Though he will not go to Con
gress, we'll may 'Scott" Hathorn feel
proud of his clean and brilliant can
vass against such tremendous odds.

quate revenue was abandoned and
a deficiency to be made good by
bond issues or by internal taxes
was preferred to tho incidental
protection that the adequate Gus
tom duties would give. The sill
yer question was dealt with in the
most vacillating and irresponsible
manner. Mr.. Cleveland describ-
ed the situation perfectly when
he said, in his letter to Mr. Will
son:
"They the Democrats) are
downcast under the assertion that
their party fails in ability to man
age the government"
ga vast majority Of our peo-
pie believe in protective tariff
and never so many and never so
strongly as now. They differ as
to rates and schedules, but not as
to the principle.
"They believe in reciprocity as
the first method of getting to the
foreign markets. They believe
in a progressive and American
foreign policy.
''The workingmen voted their
prejudices in 1892; this year they
voted their patriotism and their
love of home. The enormous
falling off in the Democratic vote
everywhere is not less emphatic
in its meaning than the majorities.
The great victory secured by the
reformers in New York city ought
to have mention in the thanksgiv-
ing proclamation. Perhaps it
would if it had come earlier.
cit gives the assurance so much
needed that there is an adequate
recuperative power in the most
ring ridden communities; that pop
ular government is equal to its
severest test, in the control OF
great cities. The lesson is, trust
the people; the duty is to exer,
else the Offices they have conhded

patriotism

DEATH OF Il. Il. sEAvEY.

/ All Brookhaven was shocked late
last Thursday evening by the sudden
death of the we'll known merchant, E.
+. Seavey, of the firm of A. G. Seavey
& Sons. Death was caused by conges-
ton of the bowels after an illness of
less than two days, Mr.. Seavey having
scarcely been missed from his place
of business by his most intimate
friends before the announcement of his
death was made.
Mr.. Seavey was one of the oldest and
most prominent figures in the bust
ness community, and in that depart
ment of activity he will be especially
missed by the public. He was native
of Maine. removed to Georgia with his
parents when a child. and when
young man came to Mississippi, set
Ting at Brookhaven early in the fiji
ties along about the time Capt. j. \.
Hoskins, Mr.. Jesse Warren and other
pioneer settlers came. Here he had
since resided continuously, and by
close attention to business, honesty
and fair dealing, had perhaps at the
time of his death amassed great
err wealth than any other citi-
zen of the community No one
commanded more fully than he
the respect and confidence of the bus
mess community and all who had deal
ings with him or his firm.
Mr.. Seavey had reached the age of
80 years, and leaves a wife and four
children-two sons and two daughters
and a large circle of other relatives
and friends to mourn his death. He
was very domestic in his habits, devot-
ed to his family, and no husband and
father was perhaps ever more loved
and respected than he within the sweet
circle of his own fireside.
The funeral Friday afternoon was
one of the largest ever witnessed in
Brookhaven. All business houses were
| closed as mark of respect by his fell
low merchants and nearly the whole

After the funeral service conducted at
the family residence by Rev. w. l..
Stewart, the body was taken in charge
by the Masonic fraternity, of which
deceased was an old and honored mem
Der, and buried with the usual Mason
ic ceremonies.
The large business interests of Mr..
Seavey will hereafter be managed by
his sons, Messrs. w. H. and John E.
Seavey, who have enjoyed the best of
business training under their father
and are among Brookhaven's most
promising and trustworthy young men.

HARRISON TALKS.
He Tells What He Thinks Was the Cause
of the Political Landslide.


of the Political Landslide.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. Sin re-
Spouse to request for an express
sion Of his views regarding the
result of the election, ex-Presi-
dent Harrison said:
at is the most extraordinary
political revolutian the country
has ever witnessed. Wherever
there was free ballot the vote of
confidence given in 1892 to the
Democratic party (if one was Civ
en-, has been recalled and a vote
of utter and final reputation sub
stituted.
"The incoherence of the Dem
ocratic party was revealed the
moment power was given to it to
deal with national affairs. The
insincerity of its platform makers
was exposed when 'be it enacted
took the place of 'be it resolved
For thirty years party epedien-
cy had been substituted by its
leaders for party principles, and
expodiency had as many faces as
there were congressional districts.
Every eccentric cross current of
popular prejudice was followed as
if it were the Gulf stream. No pas
sion was too wild or violent for a
Democratic mouth. Glasses were
created and infamed to outbreak
and disorder. In one State a de-
bauched currency and in another
a socialism that was near to an
archy were given a bed. Prop
erty, especially mills and facto-
ries, were invested and assaulted
in one section and in another
trusts were secretly coddled.

tom duties to the limit of an ade-

fact that Senators George and McLau-

Congressman Catchings agrees with
neither That is just what is the mat
ter. Democrats, so-called, are not in
accord upon any vital principle or pol
icy Which would give relief to the peo-
pie, and hence the people are getting

the people are sensible in doing it.

THE PROHIBITION VOTE.

Returns of the Prohibition vote cast
at Tuesdays elections indicate good
gains in most of the Western and
Southern States, but "a falling off in
New York and New England. Kansas,
Iowa, and California each report a 30
per cent. Prohibition increase, and
Colorado a five-fold Prohibition gain.
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and
Illinois hold up we'll. Missouri, Texas,
Mississippi, Kentucky, and Maryland
all report good Prohibition gains
Pennsylvania makes fine showing. In
Virginia the Democratic vote was
enormously decreased.

The Federal grand jury at Jackson
had the good sense and patriotism to
refuse to indict Gov. Stone and other
State officers for issuing the much
discussed State warrants. And thus
the officious meddling of the Cleve-
land Administration in State affairs,
at the instance of the National Banks,
who are ever jealous of the issue of
any circulating medium they cannot
control, falls to the ground.

may make very little difference. A

ELECTION AFTERMATH.
Words of Comfort to the Large Host of
Democrats Who Threw Away
Their Votes.

Ahch
Editor of The Mississippi Leader:
1t was ga landslide" this time
sure enough. The political his
tory of all countries fails to show
anything that approaches the
crushing defeat the Democrats
sustained last Tuesday. Among
the many surprising things about
it is this: So many Democrats
throw away their votes. They
will never be in good position
to advise Prohibitionists not to
throw away their votes any more.
1t is truly sad that the "Simon
pure won't practice what they
have so long preached. Isn't it
awful for a Christian man to vote
for a whisky party and get beat
en-, too? 1t is good time for
some Christians to learn wisdom
from God. Let them study these
sayings of His: "Thou shalt not
90 with a multitue to do evil. !"
"Blessed is the man that walketh
not in the counsels of the ungod-
ly," etc.
If all signs do not fail, the DEM
ocratic party has reached its grave
at last. Loaded down With bro
ken promises, the people have re-
pudiated it. Torn asunder by in
ternal dissension; characterized
mainly by s'the reign of the dem

dSoSuc, HAY my lcpuuldlcu eve
ry substantial principle it ever
had, it is difficult to understand
how any really patriotic, thought
full man will ever want to help it
to its feet again. You may put
it down, the National Democratic
party sis gone where the wood
bine twineth. - Selah F..
Really, what can thoughtful
citizens hope for in a party COM
mitted openly to whisky, and that
selects men to make laws who
must take the "Kecley Cure be-
fore they are fit for service? By
the way, the Christian men who
voted for the man who was to be
prepared for the Nations service
by the s'Keeley Cure ought to
to see to it that he is prepar-
ed, and at the same time take the
Bible tonic for their inactive con
sciences. No one expects Kelley
to succeed in making a law maker
that will help the country much.
Democratic Kelley made States
manship!
The prosperity train we have
looked for so long in vain, is still
side-tracked,' and will continue
"side- tracked. - The next Con
gress will, of course, upset the
Wilson tariff, and the money
power will hold everything in
check to see what will be done by
the incoming "set of rascals. "
The people will learn after awhile,
maybe, that General Hancock
stated the truth about the tariff;
it's local issue that has no right
full place in the struggle between
National parties. The tariff ques-
ton ought to be referred to a
non partisan commission, as the
Prohibition party demands, or
else abolished square out. There
will be no peace or real prosperi-
ty as long as it is hawked about
by political parties for the mere
sake of winning the Offices. 1t
will be seen later that the Popu-
lists are deceiving themselves.
They think they would do great
things for the country (and they
really want toy, if they were in
power. But with their subser-
viency to the liquor power, they
wouldn't, couldn't do anything if
they were in power today. They
are trying to get into power by
showing a tender regard for the
liquor interest, and if they were
in, they would show the same in
terest, because they would want
to be returned at the next cleo
ton. / have very little more
hope of the Populists helping mat
tiers than | have that the Demo
Gratis or Republicans will. How
long will it be before the people
will learn that the saloon blocks
all roads to reform; that the sa-
loon is THE anti-reform power in
this country? No party that
makes terms with the saloon
keepers, by open declaration, or
criminal silence, will help the suf-
fering interests of this Nation.
Mark this. Convey to my good
Democratic Prohibition friends
who mourn over their Waterloo,
my coincidence. Their grief is
great, and | sympathize with the
suffering-even if it be for evil
doing they suffer most. Let them
from this date forth, vote with
the party that represents their
anti-saloon convictions and they
will be happy, whatever the re-
suit. There are thousands of
good men who voted the Demo-
cratic ticket last Tuesday. They
are sorely chastised in their de-
feat, and will, l hope, "Learn the
way of the Lord more perfectly"

confidence on Wall street today that
the government bond issue has been

that to await Congressional action
will involve too much delay without
any guarantee of favorable results.
Cleveland ignored Carlisle in the
matter and arranged direct with a
