And looks on him with plying laugh
Who has to take the stovepipe down.

DRANK HIMSELF TO DEATH
And Now His Wife is Suing the
SalOOnist for $25,OOO
Damages.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. %.
"A nice point of law, and one
never passed upon before in the
courts of this State, will follow
the filing of suit by Mary l..
Ryder today against Grim Bros. I,
saloon keepers, in which she asks
for SIS, 900 damages, resulting
from the firm named selling her
husband intoxicating liquors until
he drank himself to death. Mr..
Ryder died several months ago.
During his life his wife had a
world of trouble over his drink
ing. She finally went in person
to every saloon keeper IN the city
and asked them not to sell her
husband liquor, but notified
Grimm Bros. in writing. The
latter firm disregarded the Motif
cation, however, and continued to
sell Ryder whisky until he died,
contrary to a section of the Ten
nessee Code, which says ''1t shall
be unlawful for any person en-
gagged regularly or otherwise in
the manufacture or sale, of any
spirituous, malt or mixed liquors,
their employees, agents, servants
or any person for them, to sell,
give, furnish or to procure for
any husband who is an habitual
any intoxicating liquors
after having been served with a
written notice prohibitory there
of by the wife of such husband. >

Lord Wolseley says: "There
are yet some great battles to be
fought, some great enemies to be
encountered by the United King
dom; but the most pressing enc
my is drink. 1t kills more than
all our newest weapons of war
fare, and not only destroys the
body, but the mind and soul also.
l am glad, however, to say we
have but little drunkenness in the
army; less, indeed, of it in our
ranks than in any other class OF
her Majesty's subjects. To this
fact l consider we owe much OF
the improvement in every respect
that has been steadily going on
among US for the past twenty
years"

inent authority that municipal misrule
Is .'the one conspicuous failure Of
American politics." follows as a natur-
al consequence of such degeneracy,
and is true alike of cities under Re
publican and Democratic control. Each
accuses the other OF extravaganza in
Congressional appropriations, and both
are alike guilty. Each protests, when
out of power, against attractions of the
civil service laws, and each when in
power violates those laws in letter and
i'm spirit. Each processes fealty to the
interests of the toiling masses, but both
covertly truckle to the money power in
their administration of public affairs.
Even the tariff issue, as represented in
the Democratic Mills bill and the Re-
publican Mckinley bill, is no longer
treated by them as an issue between
great and divergent principles of gov
eminent, but is a mere catering to diff
ferent sectional and class interests.
The attempt in many States to wrest
the Australian ballot system from its
true purpose, and so to deform it as to
render it extremely difficult for new
parties to exercise the right of suffrage,
is an outrage upon popular govern
ment. The competition of both old
parties for the vote of the slums, and
their assiduous counting of the liquor
power and subservency to the money
power, have resulted in placing those
powers in the position of practical arbi-
tiers of the destinies of the nation. We
renew our protests against these peril
Gus tendencies, and invite all citizens to
Join us in the upbuilding of a party
that has shown, in five national cam
paigns, that it prefers temporary de-
feat to an abandonment of the claims
of justice, sobriety, personal rights and
the protection of American homes.
(15) Recognizing and declaring that
Prohibition of the liquor traffic has be-
come the dominant issue in national
politics, we invite to full party fellow
ship all those who, on this one domi-
nant issue, are with us agreed, in the
full belief that this party can and will
remove sectional differences, promote
national unity, and insure the best well
fare of our entire land.

Attention, UniOns!!!

A communication from oul
State Superintendent Railroad

asks if we do not want her in Mis-

known to the unions generally as
the Superintendent of some 9th
er departments, but she is a grand
woman, engaged in a MOST NOBLE
work, and it is inspiring to hear
what the Railroad men have to
say in her praise. They do not

of her, through any testing mood;

sympathetic sister, she has twin

full friendship gives them owner

is giving so much of her life for
their good, and who feels it a
privilege to travel over the hills

and good will-the gospel of tenn
perance and holy living to these
brave men and boys whose lot is
to work always away from home
and loved ones, amid the dangers
of constant travel, through sun
shine and shadow-storm and dis
aster. Who can tell how their
hearts are warmed and cheered by
the thought that there are those,
even though they be strangers.
who are ever anxiously caring fol
their safety and happiness.

God is fast bringing the minds
of the Christians to demand the
destruction of the whole liquor
system. He is creating an impa-
tience in the minds of his people
with the political barriers which
have been thrown up around this
monstrous evil. His time for its
complete overthrow will come,
and Christians will pray, not that
God should check the evil, restrict
it, but utterly destroy it; not a
root, twig, fiber, leaf, or blossom
of it may be left-cutup, destroy
ed, root and branch. This is the

bacco, restitution and wretched-

A letter from Miss May E.

reached me through the kindness
of Miss Belle Kearney and it is SO
good that / send extracts from it
along to cheer and help others in
their work. She writes: Our
Union is a young one; it was or
ganized in September last with
six girls, and now we have TWEEN
ty-four on our roll. We began
our Flower Mission in September,
but it has had to be discontinued
since Dec. 18th, owing to the
scarcity of flowers.
We sent hundreds of bouquets
to the patients in the Hospital in
this city. We sent flowers every
Tuesday and some books and pa
pers.
Since we could no longer get
flowers the girls have been work
ing for our box for the Natchez
Orphans.
We sent large box filled with
every thing you could imagine.
All sorts of clothing, dresses,
aprons, shoes, stockings, under
wear, handkerchiefs, hats, etc.
Also dolls and all kinds of toys.
One young lady sent fruit cake,
pound cake and large box of
candy.
This is most worthy work in
which our young sisters are en-
gagged and if only the girls all
over Mississippi will fall into line
and employ themselves in the
same way, they will not have so
much time to squander in the ball
room and at the card table and it

sissippi, Adopted at Jackson, June
9th 1894

The Prohibition Party of Mississippi,
in Convention assembled, acknowledge
ing Almighty God as the source of all
true government and His law as the
standard to which human enactments
must conform to secure the blessings
of peace and prosperity, present the
following declaration of principles:
LIST, We declare our allegiance to the
National Prohibition party and re-af-
firm our endorsement of the National
platform adopted at Cincinnati June
3Oth, 1892.
End. AS the ballot is the bulwark of
the peoples liberties, we favor an in
telligent standard of suffrage and hon
esty and purity in all elections by the
people, and demand that all parties
shall be fairly represented on election
boards in this State.
3rd, We condemn, in unmeasured
terms, the spirit of mob violence which
prevails in this and other States, where
by many citizens have been put to a
cruel and speedy death without the
benefit of judge or jury or the oppor-
tunity to prove their innocence as
guaranteed to them by the Constitu-
ton of the United States.
4th, We demand the repeal of the
United States Internal Revenue law au-
thorizing the issuance of Government
permits for the sale of liquor in Prohi
bition territory.
9Th, In view of the serious and
alarming industrial and financial con-
ditions of the country, we deem the
settlement of the currency question in
in accordance with the principles laid
down by the Prohibition party of ur-
gent concern, second only in impor-
lance to the suppression of the liquor
traffic itself. ''The money of the coun-
try should consist ofgold, silver and pa
per, and be issued by the General Gov
eminent only, and in sufficient guam
tity to meet the demands of business
and give full opportunity for the en-
ployment of labor. To this end an in
crease in the volume of money is de-
handed. No individual or corpora
ton should be allowed to make any
profit through its issue. 1t should be
made a legal tender for the payment of
all debts, public and private. It's vol
ume should be fixed at definite sum
our increasing population.
| RESOLUTION.
Resolved, That we cannot too Sc
verely condemn the action of Missis-
sippi's Congressman in the House of
the 5lst Congress, every one of whom,
except Hon. Clarke Lewis of the 4th
District, opposed the passage of the
Wilson original package bill, whereby
it was sought to prevent the nullifica-
ton of all the Prohibition laws in this
and other States.

The other morning an Englishlady
who desired to take the portrait of
ragged but picturesque" Moor
whom she met on the street got
him in position, but found upon OK
animation that she had neglected to
bring an important part Of her ko-
dac. So she ran back to the hotel,
two blocks away She there met
some dear friends from London who
had just arrived, so she forgot all
about the Moor and the kodak. After
dinner, 8 O'Clock, she remembered,
so with an escort she hurried to the
spot. There the old Moor sat, Just
as she had left him, facing the in.
strument.
Long time take picture, he said
He had been there since 10 o'clock
4. m. Of that day, but the business OF
sitting still suited him. The English
lady of course gave him penny to

Regulations and bylaws of all sorts
appear to add a zest to German ex-
istence. If there Is a bridge or toll
gate, the notices there posted state
that the officials in charge will not
have to pay anything when they go
across. ! have seen bridge with q
special tariff for each animal-so
much for horse to cross, so much
for goose or turkey Level crossings
on the railways are very common,
but not very dangerous, owing to the
pace of the foreign train. However,
when an official is kept all day to let
down the barrier and keep people
back, it is also thought necessary to
put up an enormous cast iron notice
requesting the public to "halt at the
shut barrier"
It is difficult to pass such a combi-
nation of obstruction, but one can
do so by jumping over the barrier
feat which causes as much surprise
as if one were to walk on ones head
in England. Not much is expected Of
the German traveller in the way Of
agility. He is warned in the trans
that he Jumps off and on at his own
