fred Injury has also been done the
machines and property Of the company,
and il is feared that serious results
may follow. as the Orville company is
determined in the matter Of employing
Chinese.
Il has been an ironclad rule in South
ern Oregon since the early days, that
no Cinnamon be allowed to work in the
goldfelds Of this district unless they
"cut Of their pigtails, and wore their
shirts inside their trousers" as the
miners express it. As a result OF this
established rule very few Cinnamon
have attempted 10 remain here, and
the few have complied with the Beces-
sary requirement.
The recent attacks on the Chinese
have caused considerable comment in
Grants Pass aud over the country, but /
il is evident that a majority Of the |
more conservative believe that the !
anti-alien doctrine is being carried TO
an extreme in the present instance. The
Cinnamon are a very essential element
Of the drill crews, as they are skillful
panners and rockers.
A large amount Of water il used by
the drills, and during the summer all
of the water has TO be carried. Water.
carrying is work that white men will
not do; Il is necessary, therefore. to en-
oloy Cinnamon. To get skilled panners
and men who will stay is also a difficult
natter. The manager OF the Orville
company states that he is ready and

War on Patent Medicines.

All of the county medical socie-
ties in Mississippi have been ask
ed by the Lefore county medical
society to join in the crusade
against patent medicines, and to
urge their members of the legis-
lature to vote for an enactment at
the approaching session of the
legislature for the restriction of
this traffic.
The county societies are urged
to adopt resolutions similar to
those recently enacted in Lefore
county, and also suggesting that
the members should personally
confer with their legislators on
the subject. In explaining the
nature of the campaign to be
waged DR.. D. S. Humphreys,
secretary Of the society, says:
You will observe that we are
taking no stand against patent and
proprietary medicines, but are
simply trying to protect the peo-
pie of Mississippi from using
drugs to which they are ordinari-
" opposed, by acquainting them
with the ingredients Of medicines
offered for sale. =

Death Of Postmaster E. 0. Cowart.

News reached here yesterday
from Monticello of the sudden
death of Postmaster E. O. Cowart,
of that place. A few days ago
Mr.. Cowart had a very painful
abscess under one of bis teeth
which was operated upon, and
this is said to have resulted in his
unexpected death.
Edward O. Cowart was one of
the truest men and best citizens
of Lawrence county. The editor
Of The Leader had known him for
over 20 years and counted him
among his best and most loyal
friends. He was once a Repre-
sentative Of Lawrence il the low
er house of the Legislature, and
for over quarter of a century
has been prominent and infuen-
-tial citizen Of the county. He was
a man who would not condescend
to a little or mean act, May he
rest in peace.

GOV. VARDAMAN SUSTAINED.

Chancellor Robt. Mayes handed
down his opinion last Monday in
the celebrated Sandy Bayou in
junction case, sustaining Gov.
Vardaman's action on every point
involved.
The opinion is clear, logical
and conclusive one, and does cred
it to the analytical mind and legal
learning of the distinguished
young Chancellor. Counsel for
the defense have taken an appeal
to the Supreme. Court, as was to
be expected, but it is difficult for
any one of fair understanding to
see how that tribunal can do 9th
erwise than affirm the opinion of
the court below on the main ques-
tion involVed-the unconstitution-
ality of the Penitentiary Boards
act in contracting with Senator
McLaurin to furnish 70 convicts,
to work his Sandy Bayou planta-
tion for the consideration of
$25, 900 to the State.
As Chancellor Mayes vel! holds,
the Sandy Bayou contract is not
lease of plantation by the State
to work convicts upon, but con-
tract to furnish Fl. J. McLaurin
with 20 State convicts to work
his plantation, and in its essence is
a plain violation Of both the letter
and spirit of the Constitution on
the subject of convict leasing, as
the court conyincingly shows.
The decision sounds the final
death-knell of State convict leas-
ing in Mississippi, under what
ever guise, and Gov. Vardaman is
deserving of all praise for the
bold and determined stand he took
in the premises to bring about the
long-delayed enforcement of our
organic law in this important
particular.

The Warsaw Disturbances Grow
 Worse Day by Day.

Warsaw May 2.-The May day death roll totaled sixty-two including ten persons who died in hospitals during the night Probably two hundred were wounded. Crowds gathered at the tenth district police station this morn ing where thirty victims. men and wo- men and three children. were await ing identification.
 Some minor disturbances occurred today in different sections of the city, but no casualties have yet been report ed. All day long infantry and cavalry patroIled the streets. which were crowded with people who did not spare their criticism of what was generally termed unnecessary slaughter The popular irritation could not be conceal ed. The soldiers evidently were ner- vous. and open outbreaks resulting in repetition of yesterdays terrible l scenes were only averted by the evil dent desire of authorities to prevent a clash coupled with a fear inspired by soldiers bullets. The population Is most bitter against the military. and government officials expect many at tempts at revenge upon the officers commanding the troops all os whom ! are known.
 l The nationalists have arranged the usual demonstrations for tomorrow the | l fth. anniversary of the proclamation ! of the Polish constitution and disturb l ances are highly probable. The work | men are in an ugly and uncertain mood l The worlmen in all factories struck to- ! day and great efforts are being made ! to bring about general strike but this | r. not likely to be successful The peo- pie have not yet recovered from the ' ion losses raET1lffnfr from ] the last strike.
 Reports conflict regarding the begin ming Of yesterdays encounter in Jeru-
 salem street. According to the most
 generally accepted version the author
 ities had forbidden wOrkmen march ing in a procession to carry red flags i bat workroeu decided O ignore the or der. when the procession reached Je- ! rusalem street, the police ordered thu workmen to stop. but they refused to do l so and police officer thereupon fired
 a revolver. giving a signal for the in- ! fantry to fire. It appears that in other ! eases the demonstrators were the az
 gressors but that in this instance the soldiers fired first.
 The industrial population is deeply cNasperatcd over the sanguinary re-
 suits Of yesterdays encounters. Strikes inauGurated on large scale here ai . Lodz and other cities are rapidly
 spreading, and 75.000 persons are on 1 strike ia Lodz. Cossacks are patrol
 ling the streets of Warsaw by com
 pauics on account of the danger tC 1 smaller attachments.
 According to an official statement the dead not including those of the
 wounded. who died in hospitals, num-
 bered thirty-one A majority of the
 dead are working people.
