are on the eve of an election and
among the several officers to be
chosen is representative who should
be instructed by the people to make
every effort to reduce the high liquor
license, even if il is necessary to do
so by special bill for Bay st. Louis
and other towns in Hancock county.
Whiskey drinking will be INDUCED
in, as long as there is grain of corn
raised from which it can be made.
Hancock county suffers most by
"high license,' which will try to
illustrate as follows:
Pearl River is the dividing line
between Louisiana and Mississippi.
among the several towns .pon its
..ississippi bank we find Pearling-
ton, Logtown, and Gainesville in
our county, and opposite each OF
those places, on the Louisiana side,
an uninhabited marsh and swamp,
and beyond the Jurisdiction of our
authorities, are four floating bar
rooms, moored to the West side of
the river, there dispensing vinous and
spurious liquors by the glass, pint
and quart, pouring INTO the treasury
of the parish of ST. Tammany S1400,
and every cent of that sum furnish
ed by tie people of Hancock county,
who alone consume all .he wines and
whiskies sold from those floating
batteries, and among the many who
frequent those dens, occasionally
one INDUCES too freely of the "fire
water" becomes intoxicated and
upon his return on Mississippi soil
commits crime and IN our State
treasury must be found the means,
10 prosecute, convict and punish that
criminal therefore it must be plain
to the unbiased mind that so long as
whiskey is distilled, just that long
will the people drink it, and as we
are suffering from Its evils, let us,
gentlemen, secure for our country
the revenues derived from the icen-
scs and we can use such funds To
punish that class who drink whiskey
and violate our crImin:.I laws. The
evil we will always have and 20 the
revenues are not drawn from the pur-
ses of our temperate people but in
reality Is a self-imposed tax upoa
the Incorporate class, say reduce
the licenses, and saloons will be re-
opened in Hancock county and then
the responsibility of any dlsorderly
conduct upon the public streets and
highways will be attributable, as it
has always been in the past, to the
neglect of duty of our constables and
city marshals and other peace Off
GERS.
Voters, bear in mind thet lust
such laws are holding the State of
Mississippi in The fruits of the old =
time stage coach" and until YOU do
repeal them our commonwealth will
occupy cheap corner in the back
ground of our American Union. :.

At the Inauguration of the next
governor of Mississippi, there will
not be q dollar in the State treas
ury. What little remains will be
gone in very short order. The
prohibitionists are working with
might and main to help make
Mississippi pauper. So far the
annual loss of revenue from the
sale of liquor amounts to $780,
900.

Editors Sea Coast Echo:
1t is With pleasure and interest
that read your editorial in the last
issue of your paper ON the liquor
question. Our city has of late been
so frequently invaded with anti
whiskey lecturers that one would
suppose the Methodist faith was
holding high hand, nay. actually
predominating in this Catholic com
munlty. But snch, fortunately, is
not the condition of our beautiful
Bay st. Louis. The liberal and
broad mindedness of our foretathers
still find responsive chord in the
breast of their children. They do
not belong to the class who have de-
throned reason and substituted pre-
judice, neither do they form part of
those whose delight it is to infiict
their nauseating diatribes on those
engaged in the liquor traffic. We
can still hear the echo of the recent
dlscourses on this great question,
Ny gracious! how they did screecb
and howl! How forcibly did thew
emphasize the mouldy and ragged
argument of their ancestors. The
good, kind, merclful God will damn
FOR all eternity his children whose
mlsfortunes it was TO have been en-
gagged in the legitimate and legalized
business of selling liquors.
1t the liquor dealer ls such hor-
iole, abominable and repugnant be-
ing In the eyes of the almighty, Is it
not rather strange that the secret of
manufacturing the "vile stuff
should have been revealed to his
children! Is the one engaged in
enunciating this false doctrine fit
subject to represent God, who is a
model OF liberality, charity and
broad mindedness? leave YOU to
answer.
just as long as whiskey is manu-
iactured Just so long will it be in
dulged in. No power will prevent
the sale OF beer and whiskey as long
as breweries and distilleries are in
existence; therefore, why should
Mississippi prohibit its sale when it
can be obtained without the least
inconvenience from our neIghborfng
states Is it the idea of these peo-
pie 10 make our already impoverished
condition desolate! Is 1t their idea
TO post sign boards around our State
with this inscription: Immigration
for Mississippi not wanted" If
this be true we would advise her
sons to pull up anchor and migrate
10 a more desirable State, one where
tnelr liberties can be enjoyed as long
asflt does not interfere with the liber-
ties of their neighbors

MEANT TO DIE LAUGHING.
Mrs. AIamada Sought to Show That
Death should lie Merry.
(New York Herald

(NeW York HeraldD
Mrs Kate klamada. OF No. l6l east Fiji
ty-third street. is 81 years old and good
looking. Her husband. John. Is employed
in a downtown restaurant. The couple
have one child. Martha, 10 years old.
4 common habit Of Mrs. Alamada has
been TO talk 10 the other women living
in the house about the beauties OF death.
She argued that as mortals came into
the world wailng they should leave 1t
laughing.
81 want to die merrily," she often said.
"Why should we dread going into the
next world? IL must be better than this.
1t cannot be worse. Some day | will
show you how merrily l can die. I'll pol
son myself snd laugh until my soul takes
ats fight"
Mrs. AIamadi sent Martha into the
yard 10 play yesterday afternoon. Then
she visited several women In the house
and talked about her favorite topic
death. She declared she would soon give
them n practical illustration Of how
amusing death was.
I'm going out for some lime water,
now" she said TO Mrs. Goerwitz, the jani-
tress. when / come back I'll show you
something funny"
Mrs. Alanlada soon returned with bot
tie In her hand, and went TO her rooms
on the third floor. In a few minutes she
appeared In the hall and called down
stairs to Mrs. Goerwitz:
Come up here; l want TO tell you
something funny.
Mrs Goerwltz found the woman sitting
I'm rockingham. laughing immoderate-
ly. She pointed 20 q bottle on a chair
and said.
i've taken 4 cup OF that stuff mixed
with little whiskey I've played joke
on myself II anything happens to me
be sure and have plenty Of merrymakers
al my funeral"
Mrs Goerwitz DID not look at the bottle,
as she supposed il contained lime water,
and that Mrs. Alamada had called her
up stairs merely 10 Joke with her Sne
told Ms. Alamada she had better do her
homework. and then left the room ..
You'll understand this Joke later
Mrs Aamada called after her The Jani-
tress went down stairs 10 her rooms. The
door Of Mrs. Alamada's room was open
and Mrs. Goerwit2 could hear the woman
laughing at the top OF her voice. IL was
fully a quarter Of an hour later when the
tanitress heard n heavy fall. Mrs. Ala
madas laughter ceased al the same IN
slant.
FEARING something had happened. Mrs
CoerwitZ ran up stairs. Mrs. Amanda lay
on the floor gasplng and unconscious. The
tanitress alarmed the neighbOrs and then
ran out and told Policeman Kelly, Of the
East Fifty-frst Street station, she thought
Mrs Alamada had taken poison. The po-
liceman called an ambulance from the
Flower Hospital and Mrs. Alamada was
taken 10 that institution. Surgeon Brown
found that she had taken a large dose OF
carbolic acid, and that there was small
chance OF her recovery.
