MISS BELLE KEARNEY'S DEPARTURE

Miss Belle Kearney, now President
of the Mississippi w. c. T. U. and a
young woman whose labors, talents,
courage and Christian conservation
have for years marvelously distin-
guished her as leader in the Prohibi-
ton cause, left the parental roof-tree
in Madison county on the Goth of May
for a protracted visit to Europe. She
will sail from New York this week.
Her first engagements across the wa
tiers are an address before the Inter
national Convention at London, and
at the Grindewald Conference in
Switzerland, later. Program accounts
will appear from time to time in the
Union Signal. Until further notice
Miss Kearney may be addressed as
follows: Care Lady Henry Somerset,
Memorial Hall, Harrington street,
Room No. %, London, E. c., England.
Any communication may be adj
dressed to her, care Mrs. f. j. Barnes,
LAG West 103d street, New York, N. Y,
or care Miss Margaret Sudduth, w. G.

j. NJ. Anterior, President of the Ma
tional Liquor Dealers Association,
was prominent member of the late
gold-b convention at Memphis over
which Congressman Catchings presid-
ed, and served on the committee on
resolutions. Secretary Carlisle, the
speaker of the occasion, has for years
been the legal adviser of Atherton and
his Association, and it was chiefly
through Carlisle's efforts that the
bonded period on whisky was ex-
tended from 3 to s years by
the last Congress and the pay
ment of millions of taxes delayed
when he was selling bonds to pay the
current expenses of the government.
Even a blind man ought to be able to
see that the money power and the Ii
quor power are in the same boat in
the fight against reform.

The gold and silver Democrats, in
the heat of their contention against
each other, are letting out some ugly
party facts. One of these is that when
the next Legislature meets there will
not be dollar in the treasury, and
the State be heavily in debt besides,
with a raise in taxation inevitable
And all this Notwithstanding the fact
that the Democrats have been having
"a chance" in Mississippi ever since
1875.

heard them at three points; Mississippi
City, Handsboro and Biloxi, and was
we'll paid for my trouble and delighted
with their work. D.
At Mississippi City, where she spoke
to a large audience in the court house,
Mrs. Johnson took as text for her
address the 58th chapter and LIST verse
of Isaiah, -"Cry aloud; spare not" and
she carried out the text to the full let
ter. She was plain, pointed, instruc-
tive and exceedingly forceful. She hit
some hard ticks, and while she hit pa
irons and friends of the liquor traffic,
she also gave the protesting Christians
and pretending friends of the temper
ance cause some hard ticks. She spoke
for nearly two hours to that large, or
derby audience, the stiffness being bro
ken at intervals with cheers and loud
applause. She hit on all sides and
spared not, and nearly all said it was
the truth and were eager to be hit
again. So on the night of the 21st and
I'D at Handsboro one and half miles
from Mississippi City, the large col
lege hall was filled to overlooking with
mostly the same people. Then from
Handsboro to Biloxi where the very
stormy weather greatly interfered.
The johnson Trio was well received
entertained and supported in our
county. After listening to them four
times we could but truly say that they
are called of God, and in His great
name we recommend them to all peo
pie of this or any other section.
We feel that they have very greatly
strengthened and built up the great
Prohibition cause that was planted
here many years ago and that it never
will cease until the cursed liquor traf
fic is overthrown and Prohibition and
peace fully established on this beauti
full coast of ours. Truly,
Gilbert MILES.

A farewell message from Miss Bel

A farewell message from Miss Belle
Kearney to the editor expresses the
hope that strong speakers may be
thrown into the remaining license
counties of Mississippi during the
year, and the State made so unani-
nous for Prohibition that the next
Legislature cannot resist the demand
to place it in the Constitution, as ex-
pressly favored by the Natchez Con-
vention. Let us do it, friends of Pro-
hibition; and let us send no man to
the Legislature who will not publicly
agree to this in advance.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1895-06-04

We, personally, are sorry to see the
attitude of Secretary Carlisle. A com
parative study of his past and present
reveals the fact that man out of pow
er sees more clearly than the man in
power. His great speech of 1878 was a
prophecy, which has been literally full
filed. Sad, sad, that the very map
who prophesied II years ago, should be
the very man to stand guard at the
treasury while this goveqRment grow
elled at the feet of European money
lenders.

resented SOUND money.
