The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been unable TO cure in all its stages
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internal
ly, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, there
by destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing it's work.

It's curative powers, that they offer

Editor of the Mississippi Leader:
DEAR SIR.-The great Democratic
convention of the 4th ult. at Pass
Christian is of the past, and after two
days of hair-pulling w. M. Denny, of
Moss Point, was nominated. There are
two things [ wish to say in this cOnuec-
ton.
LIST. When Mr.. Denny was declared
nominated, he was escorted in great
array to his home in Moss Point by
brass band under the control and lead
ership of r. Mcintosh, of Pass Chris
tan, who is known as very popular
and the leading saloon keeper of that
place.
ID. Mr.. Denny is said to be a very
clever man and it is also said that he
is man that drinks great deal and
occasionally gets on what is known as
big drunk. This being so, we need
not, as Prohibitionists, expect any sym
pathy from him.
just mention these things as amat-
ter of fact. Truly,
Gilbert MILES.
What is above stated comedies sub
stantially with what has come to us
from two other credible sources. Mr.
Miles is postmaster at Finlay and a
man, from all we know of him, full
worthy of belief.
viii Bro p. K Mayors, of the Pasca-
goula Democrat Star, who is a near
neighbor to Mr.. Denny, tell the public
just how often he takes these sprees?
And will Lieut.. Gov. Evans, another
close neighbor, who processes to be ''as
good Prohibitionist as any man."
tell just how he reconciles it to him
self support such man for Congress?

The Greenwood Enterprise said n
short time back that Gen. CATCHING,
would have rendered the Democrat
party great service if be had .burp.
ed tie Cleveland letter. The Demo.
cratic Congressional campaign com
mittee seems to share the same view
for it has expunged both the Catch
ings and Wilson letters of MIR. CIeva
land from the Democratic CAMPAIGN
Book. The rascally Democratic lead.
ers are not willing for the people tn
hear the truth, even when told by the
President himself.

the attitude of voting one way, and
working and praying another. But we
can't expect much better of the rank
and file. so long as our great church
organizations meet in conference and
convention and pass resolutions con-
demning the liquor traffic, and then go
straightway and vote with, and for the
party that defiantly tramples under
foot their resolutions. Don't we see
this every year? What do such reso-
buttons amount to, if not backed by
our votes.
We may discuss the tariff, and the
money question and all other questions
before the American people, but | be-
lieve they all sink into insignificance
as compared to the evil effects of the
rule of liking Alcohol Where is the
home that has not felt his whitening
touch? They are few and far between.
Where is the family connection that
has not been robbed of some of its
brightest jewels?
Pile up all the misery, the want, the
woe. shame, disgrace and death that
this tyrant has caused in the land;
then look at the bloated wrecks of the
we see them strewn all along the path
way of life. Put into one procession
all the heart-broken mothers, wives
and sisters, and all the thousands and
thousands of sallow faced, neglected,
ragged, dirty, hungry and ignorant or
phans, who in their innocence, are
reaping the sins Of their fathers, then
add to these the thousands of poor
wretches who realize that they are
bound slaves to this tyrant, and that
they are already in hell while here on
earth. Now move forward the process
sion and let them march up to the
precipice, and look over into the abyss
of hell. and see there the millions of
earth writhing in the flames of eternal
torment, and these millions being add
ed to at the rate of G0,O00 year in this
country alone. And tell them as they
look on this picture, that while you are
a Prohibitionist, yet you are Demo
crat, and will have to vote for the par
ty. But tell them that you will pass
resolutions for them and pray for them.
This may comfort them, this may case
your conscience, but may the Lord
have mercy on your conscience. In
conclusion | have this tie say: | have
many warm personal friends who will
vote with the Democrats. | have no
harsh words or thoughts for them,
only feel sorry that they do not see
matters in the light that do. | appeal
to every Prohibitionist in the district
to register his vote for God, for home
and humanity. There never was a great
moral reformation accomplished in a
day. Who will deny the fact that we
are growing Then let us take cour-
age, for in due season we shall reap if
we faint not. Work and resoiute, but
better than all, vote for principle, and
sooner or later we will win.

A few months ago the Democratic
newspapers of Mississippi affected to
believe that the reform party senti.
ment was dying out, and freely pre-
dicted that no Democratic nominee
for congress in the State would have
an opponent. So far from this rosy
Democratic dream being realized, ev-
cry one has formidable opposition,
with probable defeat staring at least
three in the face. Away with such
miserable deceivers and false prophets.

Josiah, did hear you say
You're clear discouraged bout it,
Because your prayers are going contra
wise
Your party got so routed?
Do you suppose petitions go
Up to the ear of heaven
Without-my dear, just listen here
A little cake of leaven?
Josiah, when I've pondered DER
That question of protection
And tried to find the ms and outs
q couldn't fore election).
l just sot down and thought like this:
There's my Josiah Allen,
A kinder man there never was,
With just one ser'us failin.
Nigh on to thirty years he's been
A-votin and a-prayin,
A-praying for the saloons to go,
Then votin for their stayin.
Now, don't begin to contradict,
Just wait till get through it,
And then if you don't think it's true,
Why, say you didn't do it.
Josiah, look me in the face,
And answer this one question:
Your party stands for licensed rum
And gives it full protection.
Now, If you sanction, as you must,
BY votin for SIGH doin's,
Amt you helpin keep the dens
That make SO many ruins?
What's that you say? They promised you
A little compensation
If you just one more vote would give
And help them save the nation2
Josiah, ne'er thought that you
Would thus your conscience barter.
IT'S worse and worse, for now l see
Twas money you were arter.
'Twan't no such thing? What was it, then,
Made you so mighty willin?
They promised you an office, heh!
They had on hand for film?
Josiah, l had no idee
Your heart was so set on it
That you would let that office bee
Go buzzin in your bonnet.
Your vote is lost, just thrown away,
Your prayers are all unheeded,
Because for party you have worked
When principle was needed.
Josiah, now is just your time
Old party ties to sever.
And bravely stand with voice and vote
Against rum rule forever.
You say you will? The lord be praised.
A burden now is lifted,
And when before the great white throne
The chaff and wheat Is sifted
You'll stand the test, for when they ask
Just what was your position,
You'll say, II voted as l prayed,
straightforward prohibition"

Without Irrigation.

Last Saturday Justice Wm. Ohnes- orgen showed TIE OASIS man some heads of barley grown on his ranch on the San Pedro, about three miles from Benson, without irrigation. The heads were all large, well filled with plump, heavy berries just beginning to ripen. He has three acres, planted as an ex- pertinent, all doing finely and showing up fully as well as the samples. He has some sixty acres of the same kind Of land, and there is any quantity just like it up and down the river. It is a very sandy soil, which becomes thor oughly saturated during the rainy sea- son, and, except right at the surface, remains SO. Grain planted in the seq son takes root and the roots go to the moisture below, on which the plant thrives exceedingly. Corn, planted likewise as an experiment, by MT. Ohnesorgen, is growing finely and gives promise of large yield.

Distant Things.

 Oh. white Is the sail in the Far Away. And dirty the sail at the dock. And fair are the cliffs across the bay And black Is the nearby rock Though glitters the snow on the peaks afar' At our feet 1t is only white; And bright Is the glezm of the distant star, Though lamp was twice as bright The rose that mods beyond our reach Is redder than rose of ours; Of thought that turns our tongue to speech Our fellows leave greater dowers. The waters that flow from the hidden springs Arc sweeter than those by our side So we strive through life for the Distant
 Things
 And never are satisfied: % we strive through life for these Distant
 Things
 But ever they hold their place; Tili beats Life's drum and Death doth come And we look in his mocking face. And the Distant Things crowd near and close. And faith, they are dIngy and gray. For the charm Is lost when the line is crossed 'Twixt Here and Far Away For the charm is lost when the line Is crossed And We see all things as they are; And know that as clean k the sail at the dock AS the sail on the sea afar; As bright the rays of the by lamp As the glesm of the distant star. -Edwyn Irving Hoffman in St. Louis Re- public

AN INVENTIVE GENIUS.

Discovers q labor Saving Device for
Handling Wood.
A New York wood dealer. who han
dies many cargoes of cordwood an
nually, finding that the time con-
snmed in unloading carts at the yard
amounted to a considerable item of
expense, has invented cart by which
this item is eliminated entirely. The
cart has a horizontal platform hung
low between pair of wheels on a crank
axle. The platform is held in place by
a button shutting into a slot in the
forward part of the frame of cart.
The driver backs up to the string
piece on the wharf and his cart is
loaded Then he drives to the yard
and when he is at the spot where it is
desired to unload the wood he Simply
turns the button and releases the plat
form and the platform tips backward,
and thus the cart unloads itself. The
driver never stops at all-he just keeps
right on to the wharf again. The
operation is SO extremely simple and
so obviously economical that it is a
delight to the eye of even the most
casual observer.
