The subject of having the principal
streets of the city sprinkled is one The
LEADER thinks our city fathers might
take up and consider to advantage. 1t
is well to remember, says a high au-
thority, that sanitation and dust are
irrecconcilable in cities. More disease
germs are foated into the system
through the vehicle of dust than mias-
ma, and all the filth of the streets OBJ
tains entry to the lungs and stomach
in that way. Street sprinkling in cities
where dust prevails is absolutely essen
tial to sanitation. According to the
usual order, there are several months
Of dry, dusty weather ahead Of US yet.

THE SECOND PRIMARY.

The chief interest in last Fridav,s
primary in Lincoln centred in the race
Ter Governor. OF course all the candi-
dates came in for share of the inter.
est and effort of their friends, but the
question Of absorbing concern was the
governorship. Judge Longino passed
through Brookhaven the day before and
interviewed number of his warmest
supporters on the situation, and Judge
Powell came down Thursday even
ing and spent election day in the coun-
ty, directing his lieutenants in person.
All day long the workers on both sides
were busy getting the voters to the
polls and pleading for their respective
favorites with all who had not made up
their minds. Here in Brookhaven
hacks and buggies were kept ready all
day to bring out the old, the halt and
the blind to vote. We have not wit
messed such interest in an election
since the local option election of Aug
ust 10, 1885. 26 more votes were polled
at this box than the week before.
The result was full of surprises.
Longino's total vote of 739 the week
before was increased to 926; while Pow
ellis vote Of 1877 in the first primary fell
off to 66l, giving Judge Longino ma
jority in the county of 265 His most
sanguine supporters had not hoped for
majority Of over 200. There were
surprises as to other candidates, too,
but these cannot be mentioned in de-
tail.
We will only add in closing that the
result for Governor reflects nothing on
the honor and high esteem in which
Judge Powell is held in Lincon county
as man and a judge. It is rather the
expression of the love and esteem in
which our people hold and have held
Judge Longino from the days of his
young manhood. Against any of his
gubernatorial, opponents except Lon
gino, Judge Powell would have had a
walk-over in Lincoln.

THE GUBERNATORIAL RACE.

As far as can be ascertained, the race
for Governor up to date stands as fol
lows: Longino is in the lead, with the
following counties to his credit

quena, jefferson, Lawrence, Lincoln
Marion, Pearl River, Quitman, Sharkey
Warren, Washington, Simpson, Sun.

one vote in Wayne. Vardaman has Le'
fore, Claiborne and DeSoto. Powell
has Yazoo and Madison, and Montgom
cry has Kinds. Critz and McCool will
run over in Winston and Newton on
July Is.
The totals give Longino 81 votes
Critz %, Powell 10, Vardaman 8, and

THE VOTE IN LINCOLN FOR SENATOR.

THE VOTE IN LINCOLN FOR SENATOR.
The vote in Lincoln for United States
Senator for the long term, stood: Nc
Laurin, 757; Allen, GIT; Williams, IL;
Robbins, TO- McLaurin's majority over
all, 50. A few weeks ago, McLaurin
would have carried this county by at
least five or six hundred majority, but
so rapidly had the sentiment of the
people turned against him as they
came to understand the man and the
issue on which he is running, that he
barely squeezed through by the above
narrow margin. If the election had
been three days later, or if Allen had
not lost two appointments to speak in
the county on account of the illness
and death of his aged mother, nothing
McLaurin's strikers could have done
would have saved his hash. The only
speech "Private" Allen made in the
county during the campaign was to a
Brookhaven audience the night before
the election. Brookhaven is the home
of the McLaurin leaders of the county
and has been McLaurin stronghold,
but the next day after Allen spoke he
carried this box over the Governor by
Is majority. Allen carried five out OF
the Il boxes in the county.

A FRESH SAMPLE OF MLAURINIsM.

FRESH SAMPLE Or VI LAN RINIS"'
The following letter, circulated by
Judge w. X. McLaurin among the
voters of Claibone county, where he
presides as circuit judge, continues to
be severely criticised by the State
press:
"Vicksburg, Miss, May 81, 1899.
"My Dear Sir-I write to ask your
support in behalf of Gov. MeLanrin
for the United States Senate. The
fact that he is my brother makes me
anxious for his success, but even with
all my affection for him l would not ask
your support did ! not believe him
eminently qualified for the place.
The abusive and slanderous manner
in which he is being attacked by those
who could not dictate to him makes
me more anxious that he should secure
vindication at the hands of the peo
pie. Anything you may do for him
will be properly appreciated, and /!
beg to assure you that it will at all
times be my pleasure to show this ap-
probation when the opportunity pre-
sents itself. With best wishes, am
your friend.
wv. N. NJ LA I MIN.
The above is one of the latest out
Groupings of what, for lack of better
term, is known in Mississippi as "Mc-
Laurinism." Here we have Judge on
the bench, clothed with the legal au
thority to pass upon the lives, liberties
and property rights of the people of
his district, soliciting support for his
brother for high political office and
in consideration therefor saying:
go. Anything you may do for him
will be properly appreciated, and beg
to assure you that it will at all times be
my pleasure to show this appreciation
when the opportunity presents itself. y
The plain inference is that for non
service, no favors need be expected, in
court nor elsewhere.
One of the things the Judge is proba-
bly, most anxious to have his governor
brother indicated" for is using all
the power of his administration to
choke off an investigation by the Leg
islature of his own and the Judges
drunkenness in Office.
1t has long been known that one or
more of the McLaurin brothers HE
themselves to every county they can
cover at election times when any of the
clan, from the chief down, has political
interests at stake; but this interfer-
ence in elections by the first one who
has been placed on the bench, is dis
tinct step in advance even for the clan.
A few days ago, this same Judge pub
licly stated that a certain candidate
for State Senator in Warren should be
defeated and another elected because
the one would oppose and the other
favor his appointment and confirma-
ton as Judge for another term; the
inference in this case being that the
next Governor of Mississippi has given
assurances of his re-appointment,
something, we are pleased to say, Hon.
A. ii. Longino, so far as he is concern
ed, has been prompt to frankly and un-
equivocally repudiate.
Verify, it is getting time the people
we're rising in their sovereign manhood
and Independence and rebuking such
men and such methods.

DR.. }. B. GAMBRELL'S STRONG
ENDORSEMENT.

EDITOR The LEADER: Permit an
ex- x-Mississippian, who loves every acre
of her soil, loves her people and cher
ishes every recollection of the many
years spent on the sacred soil, to say a
word about the campaign in which the
good people of the State are now en-
gagged. Or rather, let me speak of one
of the candidates for the Senate, John
M. Allen. have known him since he
was boy. He was soldier under me
in the Civil war, and braver soldier
never wore the gray. | have known
his life from that time on, and watch
ed his career with great satisfaction.
John Allen is man of extraordinary
ability, as the people of Mississippi
very generally understand. He is a
man of the most unflinching integrity.
His moral courage is as great as his
physical. He has been on the right
side of every moral question that was
ever raised in his community or in
the State. He hasneyerlent his influence
to any corrupt ring, especially the
whisky ring He is out-andout, al
ways has been, opposed to whisky poll
tics, and am perfectly certain if he is
honored with the great office of United
States Senator, he will reflect credit
on the State, and his public influence
will be on the side of morality and good
government, both in Washington and in
Mississippi. 1t would give me great
pleasure to see him elevated to that
high Office.
am deeply concerned in the con-
test now waging in the dear old State.
From this distance, it seems that forces,
once scattered, are gathering again, to
threaten the purity and the peace of
the commonwealth. l wish every true
friend to the cause would vote with
reference to the building up of high
morality in the State, and pure po-
litical life There can be but little
doubt that the moral conflicts, which
have been fought in the years past
must be repeated, in measure, now.
know that John NJ. Allen helped to
put an end to whisky politics and to
the whiskey business in his own COM
munity. | say these words in the in
terest, not of the man, but of the cause
to which some of us have given our
lives.

Senator Sullivan declared in a speech
at Holly Springs Tuesday that McLau-
rim had promised to support him (Sul-
livan) for the long term when he ap-
pointed him as Walthall's successor,
but that the Governor had since
vetoed" his promise. This reminds
US, Allen says the Governor has always
been willing to support him for any
office he didn't want himself.

Making 1t Hot for the jackson Blind
Tigers.
By order of Mayor Todd, Chief Ew-
ing this afternoon raided a number of
leading blind tigers, and the office of
the police justice contains whisky in
jugs, kegs, bottles, barrels filed with
bottled beer and one wheel.
Mayor Todd, this evening in CONVEX
sation with the correspondent of the
Picayune said:
Il gave written order to Chief Ew-
ing to pull all the blind tigers in the
city; to bring all their stock and para
phernalia, meaning wheels and other
devices, to the police justice court
The policy of the city government will
be to raid them daily, if necessary.
Their wheels will be confiscated and
used as evidence against the vendors.
Some of the police report the abandon
ment of wheels by some of the tigers
and resort to a new device in the shape
of trough into which "A concealed
person dispenses the beverages. These
new devices will be handled as the
wheels, torn out and brought to the
police headquarters. IL necessary an
officer will be stationed in every sus-
pected tiger, who will take the names
Of every person who frequents them,
and these persons will be summoned
to testify against the tigers.
81 have no doubt of my ability to
suppress them, and feel confident that
the best people of the city will support
my efforts"
Mayor Todd is a man of approved
personal and official courage, and the
tigers are already hunting new fields.
