THE porrLrsrs OF ruE FIRST.

The Populists of the first congresion-
al district met in convention at Tupe-
10 last Thursday and, after endorsing
the Omaha platform from end to end
and adopting the first section of the
National Prohibition platform on the IL
quor question, nominated DIR. John a.
Brown by reclamation as their stand
ard bearer. DR.. Brown is a druggist
and physician of Columbus, and is said
by those who know him personally, to
be a man of high Christian character,
loyal patriot and thoroughly posted
on all the leading political issues oil
the day. For years he has been an ag-
gressive and pronounced opponent OF
the liquor traffic and the Populists and
Prohibitionists of that district should
find no difficulty in uniting upon and
giving him their hearty support.
The Prohibition plank adopted 10y
the convention. on which DIR. Brown
stands with both feet, is as follows:
| Inc llUuOT JTdlllC 10 u IOt W ClNiiifsh
ton, the arch enemy of popular gov
eminent and public nuisance. 1t is
the citadel of the forces that corrupt
politics, promote poverty and crime
degrade the Nations home life, thwart
the will of the people and deliver .our
country into the hands Of rapaclou;
class interests. All laws that. under
the guise of regulation, legalize anc
protect this traffic, or make the Gov
eminent share in its ill-gotten gains
are '.vicious in principle and powerles'
as remedy" We declare anew fol-
the entire suppression of the manu-
facture. sale, importation, expectation
and transportation of alcoholic liquors
as a beverage by Federal aud STATE
legislation.
The full powers of Government
should be exerted to secure this result
| No party that fails to recognize the
dominant nature of this issue in Amer
lean politics deserves the support OF
the people.

1t is Being Greatly Improved and Thor
oughly Refurnished.
The Hotel Depechaud, located at
the corner of Carondelet and Perdido
streets, New Orleans, and long Que of
the most popular hostelries i'll the
Crescent City, is being enlarged and
improved in so many ways II will be
far more popular with the public than
ever before. When these improve
ments are finished it will have % more
rooms. all large and well ventilated ;
also fine passenger elevator, and all
the other modern improvements need
ed to make hotel frst-class in every
respect. Meanwhile the regular bust
ness of the hotel is not suspended, as
some have enormously supposed, and
all guests are comfortably provided
for and receive every attention as us
ual. Board may be had either on the
American or European plan.
The LEADER takes renewed pleasure
in commencing the Denechaud to its
readers, feeling assured they will al
ways be fully satisfied with the at
tentive and generous treatment re-
ceived under it's hospitable roof.

REVIVAL AT SHUBUTA.
A Correspondent Tells of Mrs.
SMELLS Wonderful Success.

SHUBUTA, Miss, Sept. 1, '94.
Editor of The Mississippi Leader:
Mrs. Mary MCGEE Smell, of
Columbus, Miss, commenced a
series of meetings here on Aug.
25th, at II o'clock, and preached
twenty-five sermons.
The congregations and interest
increased with every service and
her absolute control over the
masses was almost without prccc-
dent. Strong men would come
at her call and fall down at the
altar as seekers of salvation plia-
BILE us children. Men would come
in the house without any thought
of their souls interest, but before
leaving have stood up and made q
full confession of their sins and
would pray aloud.
When she came there was con
siderable prejudice, as it was re-
gardcd an innovation, but there
never has been such revival in
which the surrounding country
and neighboring towns, as well as
the community have been so won
derfully awakened. One remark
able feature is the personality of
her work. In calling for peni-
tents she does not hesitate to call
them by name and almost with
out an exception they came and
rarely ever left the altar until
they had made a public profession
Of faith In Christ, Her whole
theme is Christ the sinners friend.
1t is not her object to flood the
church with the unconyertcd, but
to urge II knowledge Of acceptance
with God upon all church mem
bers. 1t was not an uncommon
thing for one service to continue
for three or four hours. She
never seemed to be in hurry so
long as there was q sinner seek
inc Christ. Surely she must be
sustained by the Divine hand or
her voice and physical strength
would be inadequate for the work
she does. Her power for effect
ing reconciliations among the
people, even of the most delicate
character, is marvellous.
There were fully one hundred
conversions and reclamations as
the result of the meeting and
these almost entirely among the
grown people, and some of them
old and hardened sinners. Some
twenty FIVE were added to the
Methodist church and no doubt
quite number will join the Bap-
fist church when the opportunity
is offered.
The meeting closed last night
about II o'clock. Saint and sin
ner babe her adieu, with a ''God
bless you,' and there is univer-
sal desire for her to return.

UNCLE SANS PARTNERSHIP.

According to the report of the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue for the

tai collections on distilled spirits for
that period amounted to S94, 7l2.93S.1 IS,

the bonded period for the payment of
the tax extended from three to eight

Even the the Democrats are drifting
toward the policy of government own
ership of railroads. The Democratic
State Convention of California recent
ly adopted the following as a pledge to
be exacted of Congressional candi-
dates
''If elected to congress | will oppose
any attempt and vote against any bill
to extend the time for the payment
to the government of the Pacific rail
roads debt, and l will favor and vote
for a measure to foreclose at maturity
the lien of the government on these
roads, and to have them bid in by the
government and maintained as nation
al highways for the benefit and in the
interest of the people, and to enforce
from great stockholders of said roads
payment of deficiency that may result
upon said foreclosure, and | will favor
and vote for all legislation necessary
to effectuate these ends"

Pursuant to the call which has been
kept standing in THE LEADER for the
last few weeks, the State Executive
Committee of the Prohibition party
will meet in Jackson next Thursday,
9th inst, to consider the question of
nominating or endorsing, as the case
may be, candidates for congress in the
several districts of the State. THE
LEADER will not undertake to antici-
pate or say in advance what action
the committee may or ought to take,
further than to insist that it should
stand loyalty by the principle of Pro-
hibition, to which the party is irrevoca-
bly, pledged, and consent to no policy
that in any important sense compro
misses or ignores Prohibition as great
and vital political issue.

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years, was supposed to be incura-
bic. For Il great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced itincurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by f. j.
Cheney & Co, Toledo. Ohio. is the on
ly constitutional cure on the market
1t is taken internally in doses from 10

Tillman's talk has the right ring
The oligarchy of Democratic office
holders and office-seekers in the South
has got to the point that they are not
only ready to drag the negro back into
politics again for the sake of office
but are ready to steal his vote, if need
be, to accomplish their selfish and un,
patriotic ends, as is amply evidenced
by their brazen and disgraceful frauds
in Alabama.

"There are many young men and
old" says the Carroll County Demo
crat, ''who do not place enough i'm
portance upon their duty as citizens.
A few days ago we heard man re-
mark, and apparently in a boastful
manner, that he had not voted in five
years. No man can be accounted a
good citizen who takes no part in the
election of right men to Office. A man
who will not vote violates one of the
first duties of an American citizen,
and has no right to enjoy the priv
Ieges accorded him rs such. He should
be relegated to Tbs background,
where he belongs"
