STRONGEST PROHI STATE

Mississippi is the strongest temper
ance and prohibition state in the union
not even excepting Maine and Kansas,
says Beverages. The prohibition move
ment in Mississippi has attracted less
attention than in Maine, because it has
been carried on by counties, not by the
State itself The constitution provides
for local option by counties and as the
prohibitionists of county can call for
an election on the subject whenever
they wish, they are almost certain,
sooner or later TO be victorious. Defeat
doesn't seem to daunt them, and. they
are no sooner defeated than they pre-
pare for the next campaign. As re-
suit of the local option campaigns. SIX
ty nine out of the seventy five counties
Of Mississippi have gone dry, and have
voted for prohibition and in only six is
the sale of liquor permitted.

WONDERFUL GUN HAS Been

United States Ordinance Bureau have
conducted secret tests of the guns. and
assurances have been given that the en-.
tire army may be equipped with the
new weapons.
Gen. Wheeler says he can take one
regiment armed with the new weapon
and whip any three regiments using
rifles of any other kind.
Edwin s. Cramp who has charge OF

We have also held to the doctrine that

RAILROAD PROSPECT.
TRANS MISSISSIPPI CONNEC
TON IN SIGHT.

The long expected sometimes happens
most Unexpectedly, aud so it appears now
that a railroad connection across the
Mississippi at Hickman is now in sight.
Mr.. Willis, Assistant Chief Engineer of
the N. g. 81 st. L. Railroad was in
Hickman Monday and Tuesday making
a survey of the river from the depot
down to a point below the Mengel box
factory. Mr.. Willis was non -communi-
cative rs to the purpose OF the survey.
but the Courier learned from other
sources so close to headquarters as to
give little room for doubt that our rail
road management has determined on
building railroad incline at Hickman
for the purpose of connection with the
Iron Mountain across the. river. In
were peremptory to find the most suit
able point on our river front for the in
cline, aud that the work was to be hur-
ried for its construction. Our informa-
ton Is further that transfer boat may
be run from Hickman to Belmont pend
ing the building of the connecting line
of road. OF course something may hap
pen to change the program, but our in
formation Is such as to leave little doubt
but that the order is as stated. The
Courier has held for 80 years that soon
er or later this connection would be
made. The M. & .. passing into the
control Of the Southern seems to make
it imperative right away.

The charge so often made by the scalp
ers th3t the movement of the railroads
against them amounted simply to the
persecution of honest men, doesnt
seem 10 be borne ont by the results in
this case. If the dishonest acts of the
fraternity in connection with the Buff
falo exposition could be collated. il
would make ID chapter; or rather book
that would startle the community. Hun
dreds of tickets purchased from the dis
honest brokers have been taken up by
the railroads out of Buffalo and their
holders obliged to pay their fare or get
off the train. This in all cases has been
a serious annoyance, and in very many
eases an absolute hardship In view of
the universal condemnation Of the bus
mess by those who have Investigated il,
IL would seem that the papers through
out the country could not perform any
better service for the public than to
warn them against the purchase of tick
cts from the brokers Particularly is
this necessary in the rural districts and
in local papers. People living in large
cities have no excuse for ignorance on
this subject The great dailies have
time and again Published accounts of
the frauds perpetrated and the danger
of dealing with scalpers is generally un-
derstood at such points. Ii is rare,
however that the country papers give
place to items of this character, and II
would be an act of positive value to
their readers if the rural press would
set forth the danger which attends any
transactions with the ticket scalpers -
