flow of everyday LIE is Vast OCEAN Vi
crank notions. The Chicago Herald has
been dredging for some of these and has
brought to the surface various startling
ones. 1t invited correspondence on how
to abolish tramps.
A saloon keeper did not want tramps
abolished at ALL The reason he gave
was that they were wanted IN elections
and could not be done without. 1.-The
tramp is all right" said the saloon
keeper. Every moral engine from poll
tics to the faith cure is suggested IN Inc
Herald for the redemption of this crea-
ture, who particularly does not want TO
be redeemed. James M. Clayton says 1t
is the vile Democratic party and the
lowering of the tariff that produced the
tramp, and he will always be with US
till the Republicans get in and build
tariff wall around the country as high
as the Washington monument John
W. Baugher, on the other hand, would
stake his hope of heaven on the truth OF
the assertion that the Republican party
and it only is responsible for the tramp
because of exactly that UNANIMOUSLY
criminal" war tariff which it kept
uiled upon the country in time of peace
There appears to be serious discrepancy
of view here.
Lem Wood comes in with whoop
and sun dance and tells the world that
the election of Populists to all the po-
litical offices in this country will do
away with tramps because it will give
every man work at good wages. George
V. Wells is just as dead sure that Henry
Georges single tax theory literally ap-
piled will abolish the nuisance. o. D.
Fellows says that If saloons were abol-
ished tramps would be abolished too.
Certainly tramps would rather be in
sheol than in a place where there were
no saloons.
A farmer would put all the tramps
into a big field with an Usage orange
hedge around it and let them fight till
thew killed one another off. Fair ladies
give their recipes for destroying the
nuisance. Alice NJ. Cushman believes
that woman suffrage would kill tramp
ism as quick as lightning. A lady whom
The Herald reporter designates merely

", "Wash him every day, - and there
are millions in the suggestion. ga lead
ing advocate of the faith cure" pro-
nounces that system an infallible recipe
for the evil. She has tried it, she says
She reformed one old incorrigible by
engaging him in solemn thought for
half an hour several times. He is now
working and is himself distinguished
spiritual healer. A tramp who can be
made to engage in solemn thought for
half an hour can be made to do any
thing. Undoubtedly here is a grand
field for the triumphs of the mind and
faith curers
Arthur Wagstaff says that Christian
ity alone can save the tramp. But Chris
tians do not seem disposed to take him
in hand.

A New Union Movement.

Michigan leads in the movement for
a union of the reform forces. At a
State conference preceding the Prohi-
bition convention last week, a commit
tee of Prohibitionists, Populists, and
w. G. T. U. women was appointed to
plan and conduct an educational cam
paign looking to an organic political
union of the reform voters. The or
ganization of Union Clubs in the
different localities is to be "a part OF
the program. We report this week the
organization of the Commonwealth
Club of this city, having similar pur-
pose. Without indorsing any particu-
lar methods or platform, The Voice
commends all efforts of reformers to
get together where no sacrifice of prin-
ciple is involved There certainly can
be no such sacrifice in a movement to

And what often appear to be radical
differences of opinion, many times dis

tual understanding.-The Voice.

STATE PROHIBITION.


In 1892 local option election was
called by the Prohibitionists of Shark
ey county and it went dry. Now the
saloon advocates have called another
local option election TO test the issue
anew. This moves the Rolling Fork
Pilot, the leading Democratic aper of
the county. to speak as follows:
Prohibition, or local option, We
think. has been thoroughly tested
the State, and from the
number of counties adopting IT we
think must have proven itself sue
cess only fourteen counties selliug
whisky in the State in 1894. Now,
what is the use of our thinking about
local option any longer, when it is Just
as easy to put it out of he State as out
of the county? We confidently believe
that if a vote was taken in the LegIsli.
ture, the representatives, having been
elected without Prohibition i'll view,
that there would appear majority Gl
at least three-fourths against the sale
of whisky in the State. Now if this be
true. why not agitate the question and
let the Legislature settle what 1t now
requires an election in each county
every two years to do, at an expense
not less than two hundred dollars IL
each county, or an aggregate through
out the State of 81 500 per year!
Are there candidates for Represen-
tative and the Senate in Sharkey!
What do they think? How do they
stand on this question? Let the peo-
pie make their demands, and If such
questions as these are not satisfactory
ly responded to by the candidates then
make it an issue.
This is the true Prohibition policy,
and The LEADER will cheerfully shake
hands and lock shields with the Pilot
on that proposition. Let State Prohi-
bition and the submission to the peo-
pie Of a Constitutional Prohibition
amendment be made an issue in the
election of Governor and members of
the Legislature all over the State and
let us have done with these constantly
recurring local option contests. In
our neighboring county of Jefferson
the saloon advocates are also planning
for another election and the return OF
the dramshops.
Now the men who profess to want
Prohibition and yet remain in the
Democratic party, are either sincere OF
they are not If they are honest and
mean what they profess, let them unite
with the Pilot and make this question
an issue in the Democratic party in
the nomination of candidates for Gov
ernor and members of the Legislature

ABOUT PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
Frank Burl<itt Corrects a Mistake by Ed
itOr Wilson,

Hon. f. S. Wilson in his comments
on the Sunflower Toxin article favor
ing primary elections says:
The Toxin might ha added that the consii-
tuition of Mississippi forbids the participation in
a primary election 10y any other than quail
fed elector, and pains and penalties are pre-
scribed therefor
Bro. Wilson is usually right when he
undertakes to quote the constitution,
statute. or record, but he misses
the mark widely this time. Section
247 of the constitution is all that can
be found in the organic law touching
primary elections and it reads as fol
lows:
THE Legislature shall enact laws to secure
fairness in primary elections. conventions or
other methods of naming party candidates.
The fact is. this scheme was advocat-
ed on the floor of the constitutional
convention by the following argument:
That the franchise clause would dsqualify a
great many electors, and a primary election law
that was properly framed would give all such
citizens a voice in the selection of candidates,
and as nomination was equivalent to an elec-
ton at that time, the diSfranchiscment in the
general election would amount to but little
Not only is the constitution silent
On this subjects but the statute also.
This writer remembers well that in
the primary law he drew as chairman
of the committee on registration and
elections in 1892, he provided that no
bona fide citizen should be deprived
of the right to vote in his party pri-
mary, even if he could not register and
vote in the general election, but as
was the case with many other sections
intended to SECURE the fairness" con
templated by the language of the con
stitution, this clause was stricken out
by the bourbons.
There is a clause in the statute
which affiXes pains and penalties for
voting in two separate party primaries
in the same canvass, but in our neck
of the woods this law will find no vic
Tins, for the Popullte would take a
dose of arsenic before he would mix
up in mugwump primary, and the
latter crowd is SO few and we'll known
that we can effectually guard against
them, should they attempt to debauch
our primary.-People's Messenger.
