OPEN SALOON
From an Ethical Stand
point.

The "Cuckoo" in one of its late issues
said in substance, it was left for Can
ton to advocate whiskey from an ethi-
cal point of view, and that
heretofore it had been defended from
commercial standpoint. Now it is
only rs an ethical question: which
means moral one-that any man can
rightfully defend the public sale of
such an agent, capable of so much abuse
and evil. it is the lesser of two evils
open saloons or blind tigers. It's like
selling opium, morphine and laudanum
from a drug store, instead of having
the irresppnsibles addicted to the opium
habit steep their senses to the utmost
limit in Chinese or other opium den
where the drug is smoked by a dispen-
pensary as whiskey is sold. While on
this point, why not seek to. close drug
stores because morphine fends" buy
of them or because deadly drugs are
purchased from them with which to
commit suicide. Whilst the vendor of
whiskey may claim, and justly SO under
the laws of our land, the right of per-
sonal liberty and privilege to sell any
merchantable commodity, yet it is not
from this view of the questian we pre-
fer the open saloons for the purveying
of whiskey-it is because it is the best
manner of regulating an evil If the
prohi bitionists will give bond and good
security that they will guarantee that
not single blind tiger will follow up
on the abolition of the saloons. or will
ever torment our society with its BLAST
ING. BLIGHTING SPAWN. in the sum OF
Sc, 200. the present annual whiskey H.
cense, for every blind tiger proven to
exist. and pay the amount into the
County Treasury for charitable pur-
poses, we will turn the power of the
TINES upon the saloons. We fellows
who love ''the crittar" and are able to
get it, can send off after it and the poor
devil" who cant keep from getting
drunk and is not able to waste the mon
ey on it from his family will be safe
also boys born of parentage prone to
60 astray and over whom HON. inf1u-
eAces and parental control have no re-
straining power. Let us treat this
question from practicable. business
point of view and not from a fanatical,
visionary one.

Canton,

We promised to defend Cation in h er
comparison to her esteem ed and pro-
gressive neighbor Yazoo City, made oy

wet and dry We afe not conversant
with the development in detail of Yazoo
City. We know that she is better To-
Gated for becoming a grea: inland town
than any other in the State and we are
pleased to know she is a live town,
forging rapidly to. the front and we
wish her God speed--but we doubt If
her levelest. headed citizens will ascribe
her advance to being dry town, but
rather to trade and natural results.
Canton is not asleep or lagard along
the line of advancement, but in recent
space of years has become one of the
best business points In the State, with.
out exception. A recent acquisition to
our mercantile fraternity located here
because he said he. had travelled most
all over the State looking for place to
settle, and he stopped here, because he
saw more evidence of business than
elsewhere. We have an Ice factory,
Compress, Electric Lights, Water
Works, a general telephone system, two
banks-plety of money ano a trade that
is equal to any amongst the best. Not

to accommodate applicants. many in

blast tigers, and only had indict-
ments af the May term of the grand

blast. We don't claim they made our
prosperity, but that they do not pre-
vent it or corrupt our society; they are
simply necessary evils. and better than
blind tigers

Meridian.

This city through her representative
citizens did her best to entertain TIN
Press Association while in her limits
at its recent session. 1t is marvellous
how this city has SO expeditiously an,
permanently built up, and still pre-
serves all of the impetus of progress
Surrounded by country not the mos
fertile, she reminds of ancient Palmy rs
the great desert city Of the far-famrs
queen Zinobia, of Oriental fame and
splendor. Among the objects of in
terest we saw was the East Mississippi
Lunatic Asylum, an imposing building
of large proportions on finely teraced
location short distance from the city.
1t presented an appearance of order
and neatness, which reflects great cred
it upon its management, 1t was the
cleanest place we ever saw. Its $50
patients and the entire premises were
viewed By the large crowd OF visitors,
and an elegant ice cream lunch served
by the urbane and efficient management
Donald Springs, in Jasper county, 35
miles below Meridian on the N. O.,
road, has commodious hotel in the
midst of the quiet pine woods where
the sick and weary can find rest, ana
pure life-giving waters to reinvigorate
the tired diseased body. 1t is glori-
Gus place to rest and grow fat. We
visited most of the varied factory inter
ests, we saw two car loads of cotton
oil ready for shipment to Europe-a
Spoke, wheel, Furniture, Fertilizer,
Sock and other factories are in opera
ton, and large story cotton factory
nearly ready to begin operation, with
all modern improvements and plenty OF
reserve resources to insure its success,
has been the work alone of her own
citizens. We remained over Friday
after the press men left, to view the
city. and we are especially Indebted to
her able, energetic and efficient Mayor
E. Dial for his interest ,and efforts to
US and other press men on that day, in
showing us over the city. We believe
from what we saw and heard of him
that he has the true interests of the
city at heart and will prove by his
works that the trust reposed in him is
lot misplaced. The splendid Southern
hotel was our stopping place.

A correspondent of the Chicago Rec
ord has it from Christian missionaries
in Turkey that they regard Oscar
Strauss. of New York, who was minister
to Turkey uuder President Cleveland's
first administration, AS the mos: salts
factory representative the U nited States
government has ever had in Constan-
.inople. Notwithstanding he is Jew,
they say they received more sympathy
and assistance from him than from
even Gen. Lew Wallace, who is prom
iuent member of a Christian church.
This speaks very highly for the Jews
and shows that men are born with
good and Cody instincts amongst all
races and .creeds. Though not a be-
lever in the Christian religion, he was
a true humanitarian. Baron Hirsch,
the late Jewish philanthropist. knew
no races or crerds in the distribution of
funds.

CHEERED THE GENERALS.
Palmer md Buckner Addressed Tv
Large Gatherings in Iowa.

Palmer md Buckner Addressed Two
Large Gatherings in IOwa.
A special train bearing Generals Palmer
and Buckner and party arrived at Fairfield,
Iowa, yesterday afternoon, amid a steady
downpour of rain. Several hundred persons
welcomed the generals at the station and
nearly a hundred old soldiers acted as
their escort to the opera house This build
ing was iammed with people. very many Of
them gold standard democrats. General
Palmer denounced the democratic conven-
ton at Chicago for its espousal of popu-
listic doctrines and censured Mr.. Bryan,
who, while asking democratic votes, had
failed to repudiate a single one of the un-
democratic declarations of that party. Cen
eral Puckner devoted about twenty min
utes' time to the discussion of the financial
question and was frequently interrupted
with applause. He asserted that the free
silver campaign OF this year was one Of
falsehood and Misrepresentation, deliber-
ately planned by dishonest leaders.
The joint speaking tour of Generals
Palmer and Buckner closed with a rally at
the Grand Opera House, Burlington. last
night. A heavy rain storm prevailed dur
crowd from assembling at the opera house,
which seats three thousand people. Gen.
Trmble presided and a large number of
gold democrats acted as vice presidents
When General Palmer arose to speak he
was greeted with great enthusiasm. Dur
his remarks some one shouted the name of
Bryan. There was a chorus Put MIN out -
NO" interposed Palmer. Il don't want
any one put out There is a man who does
not know anything but the name of his
candidate
This sally was received with a great
uproar of applause which drowned the
speakers further words for several min
uteS. When quiet was restored he pro-
ceeded and " as not again interrupted.

Historians Of the campaign of 1896 will
record Thursday, October - as one of the
red letter days at Canton Ohio. Major Nc
kinley kept busy from early morning,
and visitors came fast about the middle
of the day that he could not find time to
lunch till after 3 o'clock. One party was
in town before O'Clock, but CONSIDERABLY
delayed their call till the major had fin
ished his breakfast. Others came at short
intervals during the day, and the crowd
became SO large that the speaking had 10

viewing stand. Every caller was intent on
shaking hands with the nominee, and SO
far as possible, the opportunity was grant
ed, though 1t was a hurculean task. At one
time the crowd became so large that il was
impossible to organize line for hand
shaking reception. But hundreds in that
party fingered about the house waiting for
the major TO reappear, and toward evening
he came out upon the porch to meet them

Burglars Active.

There seems to be an unusual amount of
petty pilfering going on in this section of
the city, probably induced by the cold
weather. A number of attempts of bur
giary have been reported to the police, bu.
SO far 10 arrests have been made. There
are plenty of suspicious characters loafng
around the town, but they manage to elude
the police night before last. A thief gained
an entrance into the cellar of the residence
of Mr.. William Lewis, on street, adjoin-
ing tie property of Mr.. Thomas +. Wag-
gaman. There was no one home al the

on the derrick work, and just as the car
came to this point. thinking he saw an
opening to stand on the ground, he jumped
down. Just as he jumped the edge of the

Mid-Week Services.

The mid-week service at the West Street
Presbyterian Church last evening was of
unusual interest. Rev. Dr. AleXaaGor's
lecture on the building of the first temple
Of Solomon, the subject of the Sunday
school lesson for next Sabbath, was highly
satisfactory. Mr.. b. r. r. Mayfield, trsa as
urer for the contributions to benevol. n :
objects, made impressive rem irks respect
ing the recent synodical meeting at Will
miIgtcn. Del, where he and the pas
tor attended as delegates. He referred ia
forceful language TO the Importance of the
members of the church doing their duty in
helping support INDECENT ministers all over
the country. Mr. John Leetch followed
with an address in the same line, making
happy allusion TO the Savior's commenda-
ton of the widow who contributed two
mites,' all that she had. to aid religious
work. The attendance " as unusually large
