ary," by request, preached Temper
ance Sermon" He denounced the Ii
quor traffic, intoxicating drinks, as the
devil in solution, and the destroyer of
peace and purity. He said the only
safety for the individual was total alb
stinence. At the conclusion of the
sermon, Irving Magee, w. H. Allen, son
and sons-in-law, with others, and all
the ladies, subscribed to the Temper
ance Pledge. The w. G. Z. U. of Brook

New houses going up and more to fol

neat cottage and asking our Missiona-

ough preached for us last Friday and
Saturday nights. He gave us the pure
old gospel in soul-stirring way. Some
few have INDUCED in mud singing" at
the Bishop, but to hear him preach
any one would readily get the idea that
Jehovah described the mud singers in

The eloquent and forcible protest
against the attack being made on the
franchise article of Mississippi's new
constitution by some of the Populist
leaders of this State, published in an
other column of today's LEADER, is
worthy the solemn consideration of
every reformer in Mississippi. The
writer is an ex Mississippian, who won
his spurs as political reformer before
he left the State, and isnow one of the
recognized Populist leaders of Texas;
hence he speaks as a friend and we'll
wisher of the Peoples party, and not
as an enemy. Thus far, THE LEADER,
we regret to have to say, is the only
anti Democratic paper in Mississippi
(which has spoken out against this i'll
advised step of appealing to Repub-
lican Congress to eXpunge the State
Constitution of 1890 and reopen the
race issue in Mississippi, with all which
that implies. III the Populists are wise,
they will lose no time in their county
and State conventions to repudiating
and retrieving this criminal blunder of
a portion of their leaders. To condone
or endorse it is to invite invitable and
deserved defeat. No political party
can live or ought to live in Mississippi
which would return the State to the
desperate, demoralized, one-sided po-
itical condition which prevailed prior
to 1890.

OF THE NEXT CON
GRESS.

The Senate will consist of 43 Repub-
licans, 80 Democrats and 6 Populists
This is gain of Senators to the Re-
publicans and to the Populists, and
loss of to the Democrats, the appar-
ent arithmetical absurdity of more
Senators being gained than were lost
being due to the fact that the Repub-
licans have filled the senatorial vacan-
cies now existing in Montana, Wash
ington and Wyoming. From major
ity party the Democrats have become
a minority party. The Republicans
are not in absolute control of the Sen
ate, lacking two votes of it, and the
Populists nominally hold the balance
of power.
The House will consist of 244 Repub-
licans, IO4 Democrats and IL Populists,
the Republicans having two-thirds
majority over all, which will enable
them to override Presidential veto,
a condition of affairs which has not ex-
listed since the reconstruction days of
Andrew johnson.

ance will become weaker, and the days
of the Republic will be numbered. We
who stood the latest, will face the last
experiment of self-government by the
people, and all hope of the oppressed
in every land, will be quenched in dark
ness where no ray of light will come
again forevermore.
BY our fathers who fought and died,
by the children who must endure the
conditions we prepare, by our common
country, consecrated and sanctified by
the most precious blood which ever
flowed in defense of liberty and free
dom, conjure you to desist from this
effort to open chasm, in whose abys-
NAL depths all we hold dear will find

PERRY COUNTY.

The Prohibition Party Gaining Valuable
Recruits in That County-No Fusion.
Special Correspondence of The Leader.l
AUGUSTA, MISS, Jan. 1S-The growth
of Prohibition party sentiment under
craftsmanship of Mr.. A. d. Carter is
steady. He is active, earnest, intelli-
gent, and energetic in his efforts to
build up party, and if we had such a
chairman in every county our party
would soon capture the State. Conf
dcnce and labor are the things needed.
To that end organization is impera-
lively needed everywhere. Among the
Prohibitionists in this county are DR..
Carter, dentist, just mentioned, DR.. G.
M. Hyde, NJ. D., Geo. d. fairfield,
County Treasurer, j. P.Garraway,
Member Board of Supervisors, d. E. H.
Partridge, Presiding Elder M. E.
Church. Other strong men have the
matter under advisement. If some
promising strength were developed in
the State believe this county could
be landed in the Prohibition column,
the chief objection now being that
there is so little prospect of early sue
cess. AS it is, we are seriously coun-
selling with view to placing in the
field a legislative candidate and max
ing desperate fight for representative,
if for nothing else. Ny idea is for
full ticket except as to two Or three
strong men who are not really opposed
to us.
The fusion idea is solidly opposed by
every Prohibitionist in the county, so
far as | am aware. The Peoples party
men in this county do not seem to
care for the Prohibition party, except
as sort of auxiliary to them. The
congressional contests instituted, by
which the negro is proposed to be again
made factor ought, to and will kill
the Peoples party in this State. These
contests, if made, will mark the begin
ming of the end of an ephemeral pros
perity. In other counties than this in
this section, do not know that we are
doing anything, but do feel that the
growth of the party in the State at
large will determine whether the
strong sentiment in this county can
be harvested.

In addition to the above list, three
gallon houses were licensed in Mar
shall county, paying an aggregate priv
ilege tax to the State of $4,000, and an
extra privilege to the town of Holly
Springs of $4,000. A Holly Springs
authority says there is good reason for
believing these houses sell in any guam
tity from a drink to gallon every day.
AS matter of fact there are as many
or more license counties in Mississippi
than there were one year ago. Local
option will never drive the saloon from
some of these counties. We must have

Luck or Pluck?

Thomas Carter, nominated last Sat
urday night to succeed Senator Power
from Montana, has forged to the front
rapidly. Fifteen years ago hewas work
ing for wages on an Illinois farm, stud
ying law at the same time. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in Iowa, and in 1882
moved to Helena, where he hung out
his single. In 1888 he was sent to
Congress, serving two terms. He was
Land Commissioner under Harrison,
and now goes to the Senate. Mr.. Car
ter was evidently born lucky Clarion

Already it is seen from quotations in
the daily press that Liverpool is sell
ing American cotton for fall delivery
in 1895 at AZ cents at plantations or
interior towns. This shows plainly
that even now before an acre of the
crop of 1895 is planted, Liverpool is Sc
curely confident that American cotton
will bring at least as low price as AZ
cents in November, 1895.
