SENATOR GEORGE REBuKEp.

Hon. T. ]. Gewin, of Kemper, in a re;
cent issue Of the Peoples Messenger
administers the following rebuke 70
Senator George and those professors
Of Christianity and Prohibition who
support the Democratic party:
Senator George and his senseless
followers cried out you have forgotten
that masterpiece of folly and absurd
ty-the sub-treasury. Not at all.
We wanted bonded warehouses to
store our cotton, grain and other non
perishable farm products for l.
months, the general government adj
vancing so per cent. of the sworn valu-
alton of the same and retaining 20 per
cent. to reimburse itself for any loss
that might possibly accrue. This was
an egregious humbug, but oh my, let
this same grain be made into whisky,
which our pious church brethren de-
nounce so bitterly but never vote
against, and this "hellbroth" is put In
bonded warehouses from to 8 years
part of the taxes RENTED, a govern
ment certificate issued to the consign
er showing the number of gallons in
bond and upon which any banker OF
capitalist will advance % per cent. OF
its face value less the internal revenue
Now, Gen. George, this is a solemn
fact, and this is your and your party
sub treasury. Aren't you and your deal
Christianity brethren very proud OF 1t,
We demanded this measure to prevent
speculation. etc. You gave the whisk!
men this law to debauch society, pau
perize the country and raise HI gen
orally.
1t seems that you are so well pleas
ed with the pre-emminent success tina
you have made in governing the coun
try, especially under the Cleveland ad
ministration, for the last ten years a
to be entitled to new lease of power
l wish to say for your encouragement
that unless a DR.. Parkhurst or Lex
ow committee wander down this way
that your whisky sub-treasury vii
capture about 70 per cent. of our be
loved and pious church members.

Important Campaign Issues, as Seen by
Democrat.

Democrat.
Hon. w. G. Mclean, of Grenada, in
his letter to the Clarion Ledger, de-
clining to become Democratic candl-
date for Governor, among other things,
says:
| believe in the unlimited coinage of
silver at the present ratio of 16 to l;
and further that this question in the
present campaign should be fully and
freely discussed before the people. in
order that their will and wishes can be
ascertained and determined. While
this is National question, and while,
ordinarily, National issues should not
be injected into State campaign, yet
in view of the magnitude of the cues
ton and it's universally, coupled with
the fact that some difference of opin-
ion exists in the party in the State, 1t
seems to me that the time is ripe when
the matter should be firmly and def
nitely settled in the ranks of the par
ty. One thing is sure, and
that is, that the financial question will
not down, we cannot escape or avoid
it: it is the overpowering, Overshadow-
Ing, living loouC VI oiC NAey
and instead of being towards, let us
bravely and manfully grapple with
this great question, whose proper and
final solution is 80 vitality necessary to
the prosperity of the people.
1t is impossible for want of space in a
letter of this character to enter into a
discussion of this question, and [ leave
the matter by simply calling your at
tention to the fact that since the de-
monetization of silver, the fluctuations
in the price of cotton, wheat and other
farm products have kept pace with the
fluctuations of silver bullion, with the
regularity and precision which the
clock ticks to the oscillation of its pen
dulum; and l add, that in my judg-
ment, the low price of these products
is attributable more to our financial
legislation than to all other causes
combined.
Further along Mr.. Mclean says:
Let the watchword of the present
be, industrial develop
ment," and let the people induct into
office only those who are capable of
great industrial move
ment; and yet they must be men whose
private as we'll as public life is clean;
one whose private life is impure or i'm
moral should not be permitted to fill
any Office from the highest to the low

A Democratic Pension "RefOrmer."

Congressman Black, Democrat, of
Illinois, has been drawing a pension of
800 per month, claiming to be ''totally
unable to perform any mental or phys
ical labor" and rendered so by his ser
vice in the civil war. Yet during all
these years has he been a member OF
Congress, drawing his $1,000 year in
addition to his pension. In 1892 he can
vassed his State for the Democratic
party and denounced fraudulent pen
sions" as bitterly as any of them, and
recently he stood up in Congress and
defended Hoke Smiths pension policy

In the 'Life of Napoleon Bonaparte, -
by VIM. M. Sloan, now appearing in the
Century Magazine, this pregnant SEN
tence occurs in describing the difficult
ties which beset the first French Re-
public: "a people can be truly free
only when the first and unquestioning
devotion of every citizen is not to a
party, but to his country and its con-
stituti0n." Then Mr.. Sloan adds: ''This
was far from being the case in France:
the nation was divided into irreconcil-
nble camps, not Of constitutional par
ties, but of violent partisans." Let

olutionary history of France q solemn

tisan rancor.

1t is now in order to abolish cleo
tions by the people in Tennessee. The
lawful Governor of the State, H. Clay
Evans, has little show of ever reaching
the office to Which he was chosen for
"Barkis" Turney, the defeated Demo-
crat, is willing, and the Democratic
legislature is determined to steal
the place for him. Their returning
board farce will be repetition of the
plan whereby President Tilden was
counted out. The Repubs set the pace
for the nation then, and the Democrats
regard that steal as an excellent pre-
cedent.-E1change.

There are great many things in
the new constitution which it would
be well for prospective candidates to
examine. For instance, section III
provides that no person shall be eligi-
to the Office of justice of the peace
who shall not have resided in the dis
trict two years next preceding his cleo
ton. Section 176 provides that nc
person shall be a member of the
board of supervisors who is not
a resident free holder In the district
for which he is chosen.

ABOUT REGISTRATION.
A Number of Important Points Stated by

OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL,
JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI.
II. B. Lacey, Okolona Miss.
Ny DEAR SIR-In reply to yours of
the 9th inst, will state that the law
of Feb. 10, 1894, is very clear in the re-
quirement that the Registrar shall keep
has books open at has office and shall
register the electors of his county ut any
time, except in year of ageneral cleo
ton he shall visit the voting precincts
with the registration books for regis
tration purposes. With this exception
it is clearly the duty of the Registrar
to keep the registration books at his
office, and every elector has right at
all times to register at the Office of the
Registrar. This right the electors are
deprived Of, whenever the books are
taken away from the proper Office
without authority of law. The Regis
trar has no right to take the books
from his Office at any time except as
provided in the year of a general cleo
| ton, and then ia the mode and man.

am not aware of any law which author

lstraf. There is no such officer as Dep
uty Registrar. The Circuit Clerk has
been appointed by the State Board of
Election Commissioners. as Registrar,
but the Deputy Circuit Clerk has no
official relations to the office of Regis
trar. Persons registered irregularly
at political meetings about through
the county, and not in the manner
prescribed by law, may not be in legal
Contemplation legally registered. do
not say that they are not entitled to
vote, but their legal qualification as to
registration and their right to vote
presents doubtful question, even had
they been thus irregularly registered
by the Registrar in person, and the
fact that registration has been made
by the Deputy Clerk renders this
doubt more serious still An irregu-
lar registration by the Registrar in
person, might not affect the right of
the irregularly registered elector to
vote, but it is exceedingly doubtful if
any registration made by the Deputy
Clerk or other unauthorized person
would be legal for any purpose. Your
inquiry does not come strictly within
my official duties, but l take pleasure,
as matter Of personal courtesy, in
giving you my impressions OF the sub
ject presented.
