DESERVED TRIBUTE TO LONGINO.


"After looking carefully over the
field we have no hesitancy in espous-
the cause of Judge A. H. Longino.
"While we have not in the past, ow
ing to our convictions as to the vital
importance to the levee cause of re-
tanning General Catchings in congress,
been always friendly to Judge Lon
gino's political aspirations, we have
always recognized his ability and char
acter, and high ability and pure char
acter are what the people of the State
demand in their next governor. The
universal esteem in which Judge Lon
gino is held, aided by his personal
magnetism, has practically succeeded
in blending the warning political fac
tions of the delta to his support. No
other man can hope to have its united
support. With the delta at his back,
his wide State acquaintance, his repu-
tation, established by years of arduous
service in high places, of absolute fl
deity in the discharge of every official
duty, his unblemished character, not
only will he succeed in being governor
but he will have deserved that success
"From his own lips we know that if
successfulhe will go into office un-
hampered by promises, trammeled by
no pledge to person or faction, ready
to recognize the voice of the bar in his
judicial appointments, and, what is
closer to our people, the wishes of the
taxpayers in his selection of members
of the levee boards. His private life
his upright manhood, his official rec
ord, give guarantee better than promise
or bond, that his administration will
be on the olden plane of which Missis.
sippians had cause to be proud, and
With no kinship to that administration
which, in its insensibility to the pro
prieties and decencies of official life
and its callous and brutal disregard Of

THE SAME HERE. BROTHER.

Referring to the circulation of pc
tition for calling an election to vote
back saloons in Rankin county, the
Brandon News expresses itself as
follows:
There are a great many things that
Rankin county needs, but a saloon is
not one of them, and this paper wants
to go on record early as being opposed
to any such move, first, last and all the
time, no matter who originates it or
who is behind it. We do not deny that
agreat deal of liquor is consumed in
the county, but because there are blind
tgers, and because men will commit
perjury to shield them, and tell false
hoods to crafty their thirst is no rea-
son why the tempter should be licensed
our midst to lure boys and young
men to the evil that has blaste dso
many lives. "Them's our sentiments u
| and we don't care who knows it.
That is rightly and bravely spoken.
NOW if our clever confrere of the
News will quit accepting and publish.

BROOkHAVEN, MISS

There are regular McLaurin and
anti -McLaurin tickets put out in
Bolivar and Coahoma counties, and
other counties in the State are getting
ready to fall into the same line. Such
folly as this-making everything else
subordinate to the question of whether
McLaurin shall or shall not be elected
U. S. Senator-only emphasizes the i'm
portance of State primary to decide
the Senatorial contest. 1t isa question
which should properly be distinctly
divorced from State and local issues
and candidates, and the best way to do
this is to give the people chance to
vote their choice for Senator direct,
and members of the Legislature be
pledged only to support the choice of
the whole people of the State thus as
certained.

ACT PROMPTLY.

That is, act promptly if you want to
be sure of getting the benefit of our
dollar offer for The LEADER. Unless
our paid-up subscription list reaches
800 by March 1st, the price will go
back to the s1.50 rate. We would
much prefer to keep the price at s1.0O
a year if enough people who ought to
have a good local paper would show
their appreciation of this reduction to
enable us to do so without loss, on the
principle that it is more inspiring to
talk to an audience of 1900 or 1000,

OvERZEAL OF THE STATE REVENUE
AGENT.

And now it is stated that State Rev
enue Agent Adams will bring suit
against county assessors. and their
bondsmen for alleged over-pay-
ment in 1892 In this connection, the
following is taken from long article
in the Vicksburg Herald on the abuse
of his authority by the revenue agent :
The State Revenue Agent has been
quite commonly, though half hear
tedly, defended upon the ignorant, or
misleading, plea that he is not to be
blamed for executing the laws. He
has not been SO censured. Only in a
remote and abstract sense have his
acts been in the execution Of laws. In
their direct application as in the over
turn of theorailroad and factory ex-
emption rights-the suits complained
of have assailed the laws. The suits
against the banks were brought to
procure the annullment of statute
which the legislature passed to cure a
wrong. In his actions against the
county treasurers and their bondsmen
petty in their severalty but plum
in the aggregate is aiming to over
rule the States highest law adviser.

According to his Boston speech, the
President has lost much rest over the
wretched condition of the benighted
Filipinos and is so anxious for this
poor, down-trodden people to have
happiness and liberty thrust upon
them, as he understands it, that he has
resolved to shoot it into them with 13-
inch shells, Gatling guns and Mauser
rifles. 1t is truly exasperating that the
thick-skulled Filipino can't recognize
these persuasive agencies as the loving
oyertures Of his best friend.

It is an old trick among the light
fingered fraternity 10 divert attention
from themselves by raising the cry of

There is a certain kind Of advertiser
who is expert in similar methods. One
Of his tricks is to tell women that it's
"revolting" to write to a man in con-
sultation about disease. Women
should write to a woman" The remain
der of the advertisement invites womeil
to write for advice, and is carefully
worded to convey the idea that the ad-
vice offered is that Of a physician. But
a close examination shows that there Is
no physicians advice offered and the
whole clsmor of write to a woman
is raised to divert attention from the fact
that the woman offering advice Is not a
doctor, aud therefore not competent to
give medical advice {:

The last Enterprise has the follow

appliances are being put in place all

creased, and every effort being made
TO extract all the ore possible. The
reason Of this sudden rush is that the
leases are held without definite
tenure, the stipulation being made
in every lease that the company may
terminate the same at any time by
giving sixty days outice. 1t is now
said that the sale of the mines has
been made and that tomorrow, May
20, the lesS"es will all be given the six
ty days notice that their leases will
terminate at the end Of that time.
II this transfer has really taken place
it is hard to predict what effect it will
have on the business interests OF this
section. 1t may Ia the near future
throw nearly a Thousand men out OF
employment for a few weeks or Dos-
sibly months, while the syndicate
formulates systematic plans for de-
veloping the mines and reducing the
ores, but the probability is that two
thousand men, or more, will be EN-
plOYed in these mines, ere another
year elapses. 1t is said and apparent
" with good authority, that more
than a million dollars will be inn
mediately Invested in the erection Of
reduction works etc. 1t is certain
that whichever way the deal turns
the mines of Santa Rita are just about
to step into their proper place among
the greatest copper producing proper
