J. w. Buchanan, editor of the Gre
NADIA, Sentinel and the Mississippi rep
resentative of the Courier-J Journal
Job Printing Co., Of Louisville, was
a visitor to Brookhaven last Wednes-
day, presenting to our county officials
the inducements the Courier Journal
Company offers for such classes OF
job printing as are not supplied by
home offices. Mr.. Buchanan is one of
the very few men in Mississippi who
has made success at the newspaper
business. His paper, the Grenada Sen
tinel, has long been one of the very
best Democratic weeklies in the State
It is not of the cuckoo" style
but has the courage of its convictions
on all current issues, and ample abili
ty to express them in the tersest Eng
lish. The Sentinel's news and jot
printing plant probably has no equa
in North Miss. The LEADER is indebt
ed to "Bro. Buck" for the courtesy Of
an appreciated call during his short
stay in our little city.

That distinguished citizen, peerless
lawyer and experienced legislator, Hon
Charles H. Perkins, is a candidate for
the State Senate from Yazoo county
While a member of the Legislature in
1888, he gained for himself the soubri-
quet of the "Bald Eagle of the Yazoo
Delta" an honor we'll deserved and
most wOrthily Clarion Ledger.
In the Legislature of 1888, the Yazoo
gentleman thus eulogized by the Clar-
ion-Ledger, though representing a
Prohibition county, was one of the
leading champions in the House of the
saloon interests, and never lost an OPP
poptunity to antagonize Prohibition
measures to the bitter end. He was
often seen caucusing with the whisky
lobby, and fought the Whitworth Col
lege 5 mile law and many other purely
local Prohibition bills at every step.
Because it continues to honor such
men as this with official trust is one
reason the Democratic party is not "a
good enough Prohibition Party"

The concert and lecture at the M. E.

Wednesday nights, by the johnson

appreciative audiences. Mrs. johnson
is an eloquent speaker. Her state

from abuse. Her two daughters, Jen-

er gave our people rare treat with

much enjoyed by the audience. Her
little daughter Annie is also an excel

COST OF CONGRESsMEN,
Some Interesting Facts and Figures for
the People to Study

Some Interesting Facts and Figures for
the People to Study.
On Saturday last the SO called Dem
ocratic Congress voted l24 to 50 to pay
the clerks of members 500 per month
during THE RECESS OF CONGRESS AS WELL.
This action piles further burden of
near quarter of a million annually
on the shoulders of the wealth produc-
ers, only to give 356 giddy youngsters
good time. Now let's see how much
this new robbery will amount to in
our own district. Already the salary
of Mr.. "Hurnandy" Money, has been
increased 200 per cent. over what he
received when he first entered Con-
gress, if VIC consider the paying power
of our great staple, cotton. When he
first entered Congress 81 bales of cot
ton would pay his salary. Now it will
require more than 200 bales. Add to
this the cost of his private secretary.
who is his daughter, $1,000 and the cot
ton grower must dig out of the ground
53 more bales of cotton to help snp-
port the Money family. In round
numbers the service that cost the 4th
Congressional District the value of 81
bales of cotton in 1876 now costs 26O
bales of cotton.-People's Messenger.

That .. what Gov. sssne Ma Under the
shadow Of the viehssurs saloons.
In his address of welcome before the
Farmers Interstate Institute at vicks-
burg last week Gov. Stone, among 9th
er things, said:
In morals and religion Mississippi is
the peer Of any other State, notwith.
standing the vile and malicious Sian
ders perpetrated against her people by
sensation mongers and evil designing
and irresponsible falsifiers.
Out of the seventy FIVE counties of
the State all but about dozen are free
from the baleful and demoralizing in.
fiuences Of retail liquor dealing, and
in them the cause OF the liquor traffic
is rapidly waning. This reform has
been brought either by direct vote OF
the people or by the united effort OF
the moral and law -abiding element in
the exercise Of the inalienable right OF
petition. Thus 1t is, while twenty
years ago every hamlet, village or town
in the State had one or more of these
dens of lawlessness and crime, and ev'
ery oity its scores and some their hun.
dred, the traffic Is today confined to 9
dozen counties aud vastly limited
number of saloons.
The country is dotted over with
houses for divine worship, and as YOU

The Blind Tigers.

Dick and Lizzie Henderson, colored,
were tried in the Mayors court last
Friday on the charge of selling whisky
to Lige Smith, coloIed, and a white
man named Delaughter, who appeared
as State witnesses. The accused were
prosecuted by Thos. Brady, Esq, who,
with commendable public spirit, vol
unteered his services, and the defense
by Messrs. Chrisman & Brennan. Ev-
cry foot of the ground on both sides
was contested by the lawyers, and a
considerable crowd gathered to wit
ness the proceedings, which lasted the
greater part of the day. The trial fl
nally ended in a disagreement and
discharge of the jury and will come up
for another hearing later. Lawyer
Brady, though much younger at the
bar than opposing counsel, ELECTED
many compliments for his skillful
management of the prosecution, and
has been very much praised for his
jealous efforts in behalf of law and Or

of the law: LET reverence of law be
breathed by every mother to the lisp

it be taught in the schools, seminaries
and colleges; let it be written in the
primer, spelling books and almanacs;
let it be preached from the pulpits and
proclaimed in the legislative halls, and
enforced in courts of justice; in short,
let it become the political religion OF
the nation"

these bonds, for which they paid the

ually imported, the heavy eXpendi-
lures of tourists while abroad and
the realization upon large amounts
of American securities by foreign
holders because of financial troubles
at European centers. To intensity
the situation,t ia manipulative move
ment in cotton raised prices SO that
the foreign demand was checked
and exchange rose to a point that
made gold exports profitable. AS
a consequence, $3,25O,OO0 went out
last week with indications that
more might follow this week. 1t is
no wonder that the markets re-
fected to some extent all these in
fuences, but it is an indication of a
changed sentiment that they were
stripped of all terrifying attributes.
Railroads are reporting regular and
material gains and none of these
influences can affect their rapid
physical recuperation and increas-
ing dividend paying power. Bank
clearances still show an increase
over the same periods of year ago,
indicating that while business may
have temporarily diminished, gen.
eral conditions have greatly i'm
proved. The tide has ebbed
little, but with the approaching
months the upward movement will
go higher than it has since 1893, if
the past is in this case a prophecy

Tuesday. One glance is sufficient
to show that the ticket headed by
Baker Windus is the child of the
faction that has labored unceasiDg-
ly from selfish motive to retard
Pullman's growth, and the mater
ial welfare and advancement Of
Pullman has not by any means
been because of it's effort, but in
spite of it. 1t was only a short
time ago that the gang, which in
cluded w. V. Windus, Baker and
others of their following, made the
attempt, so nearly successful, to
throw the agricultural college, the
pride Of Pullman, into turmoil and
strife, the selfish rule or ruin"
policy being the cause of it all. 1t
is the principle of these people,
which principle is evidenced by
past actions, to subserve all other
interests to their own, and so long
as it served their purpose they
might do the will of the public. but
when the public interests FLASHED
with their own, the latter would
prove victorious. For these reasons
and for many more which arise in
every mind, do away forever with

do it, however, by voting in office a

BUSINESS CONDITIONS.

The markets at the present time
are in condition almost lethargic,
says the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Wheat has slowly but surely weak
ened in the face of heavy North
western receipts. Traders seem to
forget that there must be a diminu-
ton sometime. They do not seem
to recognize that at the rapid rate
of marketing SO,000,00O bushels of
the Minnesota and Dakota crop
will have been shipped before Jan.
l, and if 30.OOO,OOO bushels are al
lowed for country mills and 49,
100000 bushels for bread and seed,
only about 100000 bushels will
be in the country elevators and
farmers hands on that date. This
is on the basis of a crop of 100000
900 bushels, which seems to be an
average of estimates and reports.
Some Manitoba wheat has been
marketed at Duluth, but this is off
set partly by Minnesota and Dakota
wheat which has gone out at other
points. Contemporaneous with
these heavy receipts are small Euro
pean purchases, and as a result of
large supply and light demand
wheat has shown anything but a
tendency to rise. 1t is suggestive
commentary upon the situation that
in the last three months II 800, 900
bushels of corn have been exported,
against 100000 for the same per-
iod last year, when farmers here
were feeding surplus wheat to hogs,
thus showing that Europe will try
to satisfy it's wants with the cheap
est grain and that the enormous
corn crop of the present year will
affect to some extent the quotations
for wheat
There is no reason to expect any
material changes for the present
until glimpse Of the bottom of
the granaries in the Northwest
causes the public to consider, not
present supplies alone, but also the
futures needs.
The stock market has also ex-
hibited downward tendency. but
the situation is more amenable to
logical analysis. From early spring
the tendency was upward until
October. Such a bull movement
had to eliminate. Even an i'm
proving market esta blishes its
character only by advances and re-
cessions, in which each advance
registers a stronger impulse. A re-
action in the securities was only
natural in the face of a continued
balance of imports over exports at
a period of the year when mold u.s.
