jackson Sept. 9th to place Party Pro-
bibitionists in the field in every dis
trict where the stand taken by the
Peoples party or its candidate was not
clear-cut and satisfactory.
So far as The LEADER is concerned,
while profoundly regretting the neces-
sity for such a step and the division In
the reform ranks which, for the time
being at least, must ensue, it is no less
clearly convinced of its rightfulness
and wisdom. The LEADER has a very
intimate acquaintance with the rank
and file of the Peoples party in Mis-
sissippi, and it is persuaded that fully
seven-tenths, if not nine-tenths of them
believe in the policyand principle OF
Prohibition; but most of them have
never studied the liquor question In
its various bearings, and, following the
impressions made upon them by the
old parties, who have never wanted the
light turned on the political side OF

or ignore altogether its Importance. y
majority of the Peoples party leaders
are so anxious to get there" they are
more than willing to take the saloon on
one arm with them, all unmindful OF
or else culpably Indifferent to the fact
that if they should "get there" by a
shorter cut by the aid of the saloon
vote, like the Democrats nov find
thems elves, they ''could never deliver
the reform goods" they had promised
conGding bpt deceived people.
What the masses Of the Peoples par.
ty here in Mississippi and elsewhere
really need is an intelligent apprehen
sion of the political relations and bear
ings this question sustains to other re
forms they seek When they fully
understand this, they will either make
genuine ProhiOitian party of the
Peoples party, or they will save tins
and trouble by joining the Prohibition
party outright. That is really the sen
sible thing to do, WITH the Nationa
Peoples party headed as it is at the
present time.

:S,lOliAas Mount,

nominee of the Prohibition party for
Congress in the third district, was
born in Benton, Yazoo county, Miss,

in New Orleans, but after the breaking
out of the war, Mt the age Of 10 went to
Columbus, Ky, where he enlisted in
the Pointe Coupee Artillery. In 1863

fine business training and experience
Mr.. Mount has never before taken
an active part in political matters, but
for several years has been an earnest
friend of Prohibition. The w, c. T. u.
of which his estimable wife, Mrs. la:
vinia S. Mount, is the State President
has had in him loyal and sympathiz
ing friend, ever ready to second the eff
forts of his wife, and it is safe to say
if the good Christian women of the
State had it in their power TO decide
the question, his election to the 51th
Congress would be more than assured

and is prominent and influential
layman of that church.
In letter to the Chairman Of the
State Prohibition Executive Commit
tee regarding his nomination, Mr.
Mount says: "Feeling patriotic zeal
for the welfare of Mississippi and be-
lieving that the prohibition of the Ii
quor traffic within her borders will be
most effective in promoting the mate
rial wealth and the religious, moral
and social condition of her people, anG
that there is a necessity for Prohibi
tion party to enforce a Prohibition
law, accept the nomination rendered.

The Lincoln Democratic convention
is to be complimented on its consist
ency in refusing to adopt an unquali-
fed endorsement of President Cleve-
land and Missi ssippi's free silver con-
pressmen in one and the same breath.
The remarks of Mr.. H. Cassidy, Jr.,
and DIR. Applewhite on that subject
were straight to the point, and if
their views prevailed in the Democrat
ic party generally it would be emit
tied to far greater confidence and re-
spect.

THE FOWLS COMING HONE TO Roosr

THE FOWLS COMING HOME TO ROOST.
The Governor, Auditor and State
Treasurer have all given bond for their
appearance at the November term of
the L, S. Court for the issuing of State
warrants in the alleged similitude of
National currency, and more especial
iy for disregarding the United States
authorities after attention had been
called to the same. EX-Chief Justice
Campbell has been employed as
counsel to defend the State and it's Of
ticials.
Gov. Stone made haste during
the late railroad strike to proclaim
his endorsement Of Cleveland for rid
ing rough-s hod over the doctrine of
States Rights and sending Federal sol
dies into Illinois in disregard of the
solemn protest of the Governor OF
that State. He is now being given a
dose of the same physic and has no
right to complain. but to tho people of
Mississippi. who are being given this
fresh object lesson of modern DcmOc-
racy and will have to pay for the mu-
sic at last, it appears i'll different
light.
Meanwhile let it be remembered by
the people that this State warrant
muddle, which will cost the taxpayers
many thousands of dollars besides
the 100000 warrant issue proper,
would never have occurred but for the
Hemingway defalcation of s3l5,6l2.
And let it also be borne in mind by the
people that this same Johu M. Stone,
whom the taxpayers of Mississippi
are called upon to defend against
u. S. Government prosecution, the
principle of which he short time ago
endorsed, is the same man who went iu
person to the State penitentiary to bear
a pardon to Hemingway, without his
having ever accounted for a dollar OF
the S3l5,6l2 of which the State was
roolsd

MACHINE POLITICS.

The letter which THE LEADER pub
fishes today from John Temple Graves,
Georgias yo.4s man eloquent, ar
raigning the Democratic li+g politi-
clans of that State, has produced polit-
ical sensation in Georgia. John Temple
Graves il the young Georgian upon
whose shoulders the u,ai.tln of the Ia
mented Henry Grady is repnied
to have fallen, and this coura-
geous, patriotic and eloquent
protest against POLITICAL prosti-
tuition in the dominant party Of Geor-
gia, shows how worthily it is being
worn.
The Democratic ring rule against
which Mr.. Graves protests so earnest
ly and eloquently is not peculiar to
.the Goober State" alone. The same
conditions prevail to greater or less
degree here in Mississippi and in ev-
cry other SouthefG State. Democrat
ic machine politicians, constituting q
kind of close corporation of chron.
ic office holders and office-seekers,
with their dependents land under
strikers, amone whom the spoils of
office are parceled out Rr so much
merchandise, have had no serious con-
Germ for the interests of the honest
masses. Principle and the old-fash-
Toned patriotism which rocked the
cradle of the young Republic, are ig-
nored or scornfully spufn:a. As Mr.
Graves we'll says, these shrewd poll
ticians love themselves first and the
State incidentally as the mother
offices aad disburser of spoils.
AS was to be eHpGcted; the manly
letter of Mr.. Graves has been met By
no end of denunciation and contempt
uous sneers from the ring politicians
and press of his State. Instead OF
answering him and disproving his
charges, they denoupce him and in eff
feet read him out of the party as a
traitor. 1t is time for the lightning
of a long suffering peoples righteous
indignation to strike.

GERMANYls ALTITUDE.
FRANcE,s DEPUTIES.
A Stormy Scene Over the Law Govern
ing Syndicates.


Paris, June 1.-THE deputies discussed
to-day proposals to alter the laws gov
erning syndicates. Premier Dupuy ac-
cepted and spoke for the amendment pro-
posed by Leon Guillimins, rep, deputy
from the Nord, but it was barely carried.
the vote being 1873 to III.
Jean Jaures, of the republican union,
tainted the government with the tickle
ness of its policy toward the syudicates
Ex-Premier Ribot expressed the opinion
that M. Guillimins'l amendment had sud-
denly been produced in the chant Der
without any previous examination in
committee. This. he said, was contrary
to the regular procedure.
M. Lockroy, who was in the presidents
chair, said that in view of his objections
mentioned, he would use the right to
refer the amendment TO committee.
This announcement raised a storm of
protest from the center. Some twenty
deputies were shouting and gesticulatiug
at once. Comte De Bernls declared ex-
citedly that the president could not null
lily the chambers solemn vote, that any
attempt to do so was great usurpation.
NJ. Lockroy lost his presence of mind
completely in the unexpected storm and
replied that he had done only his plain
duty. He would, however, let the cham
Der settle the matter.
M. LOckrOy proposed to put to a vote
the demand that the amendment be re-
ferred to a committee.
M. Jaures, who first made the demand,
then withdrew it, saying that matter of
right, not TO be determined by the cham
ber's vote, was in question.
M. De LaBatut, republican, from the
Dordogne, fathered another demand of
the same tendency. 1t was rejected by a
vote of 3l3 to 100.

WIMAN In A VERY BAD Way.
The Testimony Given at His Trial
Very Much Against Him.

Bullinger Asserts That wiman Had
No Authority to Indorse His Name
on the Back of the Check W1man's
only Excuse for Dong So a Claim
That Bullinger Had Loaned Him
Money-Bullinger Denies This Also.
How wiman Once Soooped in &c.
600 of the FIRMS Money.
New York, June 14.-The testimony is
all in the trial of Erastus Wiman for for
CORY of the Endorsement upon two checks
given by r. G. Dun & Co., to clients,
which were used by Wiman In the
course of his statement Wiman said
that the reason he signed E. NJ. Bull
lnger's name on one check he is accused
of forging, was that Mr.. Bullinger was
in the habit of lending him money. Mr..
Bullinger denied this assertion, and said
he had loaned Wiman money once only,
and then upon call, and he had never au-
tborized Wiman to use his name
Wiman was put through a searching
discrimination concerning a number
of transactions, of which the following is
an example, On one occasion Wiman
wrote to the head of the Philadelphia
branch office, Mr.. Scranton, that the firm
was very much in need of money,
as they had a big paper bill to
pay, and asked him if he could
conveniently make any collections, to send
the money in at once. This letter was
followed the next day by telegram, in
which Wiman stated that Mr.. Dun had
Unexpectedly drawn $4,000, and that
they must have some money at once.
wIMAN scooPED IN $4,000.
Mr.. Scranton sent $4,000 and Wiman
wrote acknowledging the receipt of the
money, but did not have the letter copied
so that there was no record of the tran
saction in the office. The money he con-
verified to his own use. 1t was not until
the end of the year although this tran
saction was in March, that an entry of
the receipt was made on the books of
r. G. Dun & Co. Then it was made with
other transactions of similar nature
The sums of money taken differed, but
the method was the same in each in
stance.
Upon Wiman's redirect examination.
under the leading of his counsel, Gen.
Tracy, Wiman said that all the letters
which. the people had put in as evidence,
had been written in the strictest conf
denCe. He thought it was breach of trust
to make them public At this point JUS
tice Ingraham interrupted, and said he
should instruct the jury that it would
have been a crime for Mr.. Dun to have
concealed any evidence of crime that he
might have in his possession, and that he
had merely done his duty as a citizen in
making the contents oflthe letters public.
The case will be resumed at 20 o'clock
tomorrow morning. Justice Ingraham
has limited each side to one hour and a
half for summing up. Assistant District
Attorney Wellman said that he would
not take half so long, and Gen. Tracy
said that he thought he could get through
in that time.
