a lecture delivered by Mr.. Douglass to his
own people in a church in the northwest

Dead Infant In a Field.

The body of an infant was found in field
a few miles north of the city, on the Wolf
pike, yesterday afternoon. by G. w. Strad-
ley, living at 454 Central avenue. Coroner
Castor was notified, and went to the place
and brought the body TO the city. Mr..
Stradley said he had been attending sale
out of the city, and while returning he
discovered the body of the infant lying just
inside the fence in the field Coroner Cas-
tor questioned all the families in the neigh
borhood where the body was found, but
discovered nothing which would throw any
light ON the question of parentage. The
child was apparently dead when born. and
was put into the field shortly afterwards.
The citizens of the neighborhood were or
dered to report any clew which might lead
to the detection of the parents of the baby.

Total for the township, Bill.
These figures are quite interesting to those
who study political questions when COM
pared with the enumeration of six years ago
and the vote of last fall. The enumeration
of 1889 showed 1880 voters in the township
are in Center township now. The increase
in the township is 6,211 or over 1000 voters
a year.
Another interesting comparison is with the
vote of last fall. The four candidates for
trustee in this township received 1910 votes,
which shows that 2,S01 voters, or ia per
cent, stayed away from the polls, or at least
failed to vote for trustee. This is hardly
fair comparison, however, because the
county ticket polled more votes in Center
township than the township ticket, prob
ably 500 more but they cannot be given ex-
actly, as the figures are not now obtainable.
At the most conservative estimate there
were something over per cent of the voters

At the election soon to take place
Mr.. Thompson and the ex-saloon-keep-
ers he named in his speech as less
harmful to the cause Of Prohibition
than the editor of THE LEADER, will
vote the same whisky party ticket, and
they will vote for men for the Legisla-

set Prohibition back rather than ad-
vance 1t.
1.-TWO men went up with their ballots to vote:

The one carried with him the Word Of God,
The other license to sell 'forty-rod;"
But the angel above saw with wonder and shame
That the ticket they voted read EXACTLY THE

The editor of The LEADER will not
vote that sort of ticket, but vote as
he talks and writes and prays. Who,
then, of truth, is it that is hurting

Bishop Galloway Denounces It as the Pc

Bishop Galloway Denounces 1t rs the Po-
tent Agent OF Political Corruption.
But what might we not reveal as to
its corrupting influence in our cleo
tons! Much is said in these latter
days about the integrity and purity of
the ballot-box. This is the shibboleth
of political parties and the ideal dream
of republican governments. Prest-
dents and governors, senators and ju-
rists, in message, grafton and opinion,
all agree to its absolute necessity.
Without "a free ballot and q fair count"
republicanism is q shameless failure
and derision. This is the profound
conviction of all statesmen and patri-
OTIS, without regard to party ties and
prejudices. But such q dream has not
been realized. / dare to say-and with
full knowledge of the meaning of the
words-that pure ballot in q State,
county or section where whisky is DOM
inant is unknown and an impossible
ty. The law we have which commands
the closing of saloons on election days
is only closing the stable door after
the horse has escaped. Whenever and
wherever whisky is used to influence q
vote, the ballot is corrupted and indie
pendent citizenship is lost in the swill-
tub. Yet it is we'll known that liquor
and low doggeries are often the most
important and efficient factors in cam
paign machinery. This is the popular
argument with "the masses" In some
sections it will influence more votes
than all platforms and principles, all
eloquence and craftsmanship. What
are these dull platitudes in compari-
son with the persuasive power OF rye
and red-eye!" A bar-room can con-
troll votes when all manly and honora-
BILE argument and tactics have signally
and sadly failed. charge whisky as
being today the prince of ballot-bor
suffers. It is the menace of an un-
trammeled suffrage. If we are to ex-
alt the dignity of American citizenship
and preserve the purity of our institu-
lions, we must protect the ballot from
the degradation of the doggeries. No
man who leagues with vice and courts
the influence of whisky is worthy to
represent an honorable constituency.
Let him herd with the companions of
the "stiI," but never disgrace a posi-
ton of public trust.-FrOm Handbook
of Prohibition by Bishop Galloway.
The above true and eloquent ar
raignment of the liquor traffic by
Bishop Galloway reads like The LEAD
Err EXTRA, issued just before the Sec
ond Democratic primary. 1t should
be borne in mind at the approaching
election, and it should be specially
and continually borne in mind by all
of our people who profess to be Prohi-
bitionists, yet are giving their allegi-
ance to the Democratic party, which
is the open and avowed friend of the
liquor traffic.
The leader., 1895-10-29

s1ppl democrats, according to their
latest State platform declarations, are
practically in accord with the position
Of the Populists and Prohibitionists.
But the Mississippi Democracy is not
in line with the National Democratic
party, and will next year have to eat
the crow served by the gold-bug De-
mocracy of the East; while the Missis.
sippi Populists and Prohibitionists are
in accord with their parties nationally.
Hence, l feel encouraged to hope that
all voters who honestly favor financial
reform will emphasize that fact by
voting for me as the representative of
a true financial reform party.
But it is important to remember,
that both the Prohibition question and
the money question will form but a
small part of the work of the next
Legislature and will soon be disposed
of, when once taken up. The great
bulk of the business to be disposed of
by that body will be of an altogether
different character, and nearly or quite
all of non-partisan nature; such as
bills relating to taxation, the public
schools, State institutions, the fixing
Of salaries, appropriations, ETC., etc.
With my intimate knowledge of state
legislation for the last Is years, and
my extensive acquaintance with the
men who will constitute the next Leg
islature, and with men of influence
and prominence of all parties and
classes in the State, hope it will not
be regarded as egotistical in me to say,
I could by reason of this knowledge
and wide acquaintanceship accomplish
more for the people in a practical way
than either of my opponents, however
earnest and jealous he might be. Lay
ing mere partisan considerations aside,
I ask you to take this practical, COM
nonsense view of the matter in cast
ing your ballots next Tuesday.

me as their first choice for State Sena-
tor, and all save the whisky element
of the party in Lincoln were ready to
ratify Lawrence's action. The Prohi-
bitionists of both counties are unani-
mously for me, and have the assurance
that many Prohibition Democrats in
both counties will lay down their par
tisanism to the extent of giving me
their votes.
l have already said that l am we'll
acquainted with most of the men who
will constitute the next Legislature.
Judged by their records, some of those
men will go to Jackson to put through
private jobs and special legislation in
the interest of moneyed corporations
whose representatives they are, rather
than the peoples. If elected your
Senator, 1 will consider it part of my
duty to throw all the obstacles in their
way possible, and pledge myself to
serve the whole people with the same
unselfish fidelity and zeal that I have
as public journalist.
