THE FOURTH AT FELDER'S.
BY JIM.

The people round about Ruth gath
4th day of July to celebrate the 11S an
pendence. Mr.. Fielder kindly gave
them permission to take the fish from
the pond, which was done in vast num-
bers, and cooked on the ground. By
II o'clock there were four or five hun
filled baskets, and a long table built in
fairly groaned under the weight of the
good things to eat: 1t is enough to say
that the people did justice to the oc-
it's load after thanks had been return
ed to the Father of all good gifts, led
by Mr.. r. HI. Fielder.
The main feature of the program,
however, was an address delivered by
Prof. Clyde H. Conerly. This speech
was so nearly in accord with the views
OF The LEADER, that we asked Prof
Conerly to furnish US with copy for
The LEADER which he kindly did. We
hope you can find space to publish it
in full, and the people will give it a
careful reading and heed its timely
WdIulliS. IIOI. SOucTiy Is young
man of sterling qualities, logical
thinker and a forcible speaker, and his
sentiments expressed in this speech
bind him forever to the law abiding
element of his country. Those who
heard him will not fear to trust him.
Mr.. Fielder kindly placed his parlor
organ on the ground and the young
people engaged in singing, with Mrs
1ra to- b y Il. 1. 4
of every one, until late in the after
noon, when the people dispersed to
their homes, feeling better for having
celebrated this national holiday.
THE LEADER will be pleased to pub
fish Prof. Conerly's speech as soon as
some other things are disposed of that
are now dmanding the right of way.

THE rAR1rr BILL PASSES.

The Democratic Tariff Bill passed
the Senate July 3, at 10 o'clock p. m,
by vote of 30 to 43. All of the Demo
Gratis voted yea, except Hill, and the
Republicans nay. The Populists di-
vided their strength, two-Messrs Kyle
and Allen-voting in favor of the bill.
and two-Messrs PETER and Stewart
against it. Just before the vote was
taken Senator Hill made speech in
which he said:
Numerous Senators around the Dem
ocratic side of the chamber must feel
as though Democratic principles have
been surrendered or bartered away to
secure the triumph of this botched up
compromise measure, which is really
acceptable to no one. | am sure that
il they expressed their honest sentl-
ments they do not approve this bill
any more than l do. The issue of tariff
reform had better be postponed and
preserved intact rather than emascu-
lated, disfigured and despoiled In the
manner now proposed.
This bill does not meet public ex-
pectations, but at best is an empty and
DtRkdIll VI
pledges. 1t does those things which it
ought not to do, and leaves undone
those things which it ought to do.
Mr.. President, do not fail to appre-
ciate the gravity of the situation. but
the course which duty and consistency
require me to pursue at this hour is as
clear to me as the MONDAY sun. Sink
or swim, live or die, survive or perish"
l cannot and will not support this bill
in its present shape"
The bill has now gone into the hands
of conference committee of the two
| houses.
The Senate adopted some 500 amend
ments to the Wilson bill, many of them
so radical it will probably be six weeks
yet before the two Houses will agree
on a compromise measure.

The Grenada Sentinel has called at
tention to the fact that "a great many
people are not aware that our last leg
islature provided for new amend
ment to the constitution of the state,
which is to be adopted or rejected by
the vote of the electors of the state at
the ensuing election in November,
1894, This amendment requires and
provides for state census every ten
years of the population and OF the
number of qualified electors of the
state The first enumeration is to be
made in the months of June and July
of next year, provided the amendment
is adopted"

ORGANIZE! ORGANIZE

The following adopted by the last
State Prohibition Convention is com
mended to Prohibitionists throughout
the State at this time:
Resolved, That each County in this
State should be thoroughly organized
at once and to this end it is urged that
the Prohibitionists of their respective
Counties, should meet and elect a
County Executive Committee, consist
ing of Chairman and Secretary and
one member for each election precinct
or Supervisors district, and report the
result of their conventions to the
Chairman of the State Executive Com
mittee.
End, That the members of the State
Executive Committee be diligent in
this matter. 1t is also the sense of
this Convention that the membership
of the party in this State should be
Systematically enrolled in each county
and the County Executive Committees
are urged to see to this.

JUDGE CHRISTIAN FOR GOVERNOR

Some of Judge Chrisman's friends.
who are yet laboring under the delu-
sion that the Democratic party is a
good enough Prohibition party" are
thinking of running him for Govern
or and giving him Lincoln countys
vote in next years Democratic State
Convention for that office. If this
program is carried out, it will be inter
esting to see what the noisy liquor
wing of the party in this county, will
say and do in the premises. Will they
make bold and open fight to defeat
his nomination, or will they pursue
the adroit tactics SO common to the
saloon and it's allies, when doubtful
of their strength, propose :" a trade :"
and demand liberal concessions as the
price of their allegiance ? We shall
probably know when Biloxi is heard
from
Judge Chrisman would be the
strongest man before the masses of the
State the Democrats could nominate,
but they will not nominate him. He
is too pure, too conscientious, too just
and fearless in the discharge of official
duty-too honest and unpliable withal
to suit either the men who run the
Democratic machine or the saloon con
tingent, and hence he will be adjudg
ed by the party councils as "unavaila-
ble." Mark the prediction.

ENEMPTING TRUSTS AND COMBINES
FROM TAXATION,

A legal friend calls The LEADERS at
tention to the fact that in the sheet acts
of the last session of the Legislature,
chapter 80, which is entitled IAN Act
to amend section 3744 of the Annotated
Code of the State of Mississippi in re-
lation to what property is exempt from
taxation" in the first section of said
act, the following language occurs: "a
factory or manufactures belonging to
or being trust, combine or pool, shall
enjoy exemption from taxation"
The last Legislature was Democratic
by over 100 majority; so unless it can
be shown that this was a mistake of
the enrolling clerk, the Secretary of
State or the printer in copying, that
party must shoulder the responsibility
for this favOritism toward trusts and
combines. We strongly suspect, how
ever, that it was slip which occurred
in one of the ways we have mentioned.
Can the Clarion-Ledger explain?
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-07-10

1t is expected the enrolment Will
reach 200 by the middle of the term.
Lincoln has but - to date. Prof. Gil
rault saws this is because Is are now
employed in teaching summer schools.
Our Brookhaven teachers went to OK
ford. Prof. Girault says he wants ev-
cry teacher in the county to attend.
The Normal is under the skillful
management of Prof. Kirk, OF Nilsson
ri, and Wesson and the teachers in at
tendance may we'll feel proud of hav-
ing such a noble and cultured Christ
ian gentleman at its head. He is ably
assisted by Profs. Milledge and Ander-
son. Profs. Deupre and Kerr are eX-
pected in a few days, and also Mrs.
Ellen B. Grant, of Birmingham, who
will take charge of the primary work.
Wesson is on quite boom now. The
mills are running on full time, and
business generally is good.

The LEADER is so far from being an
anarchist, it does not believe in mob
law at any time or anywhere that a
community has established laws and
duly constituted authorities. There
we shall stand as firm as the everlast-

of legislation are the routes that
should be ollowed to secure political
reforms in all civilized countries.

DIR. John A. Brown, of Columbus, is
favorably mentioned as the nominee
of the Peoples party in the first con-
gressional district. The doctor is a
strong, out-spoken opponent of the
liquor traffic, and if the Peoples par

him as their standard bearer in the
first, they would make it powerfully

withstandinG the disappointment about

Also the pic-nics at McDavids' mill
and at Fair River bridge on the 4th
were largely attended, and all had
plenty 70 eat. There were fish enough
for the crowd at the former place
while they did not try to have any at
the bridge; but sufficient to say jolly
good time was enjoyed by all Mr.

ade (who has our thanks for a sample)
and the young folks INDUCED in dane

game of base ball was played between
the Topisaw nine and the Fair River

former with 10 to 10. Good order and
