It is said that the decrease in
the consumption of beer in the
United States the present year is
25 per cent, and the decrease in
the consumption of whiskey even
greater. We hardly think the
above rate of decrease will hold
good in Honey Grove.
The Ladonia News is now edi-
ted by Mr. Rosser Thomas, late of
Georgetown, and if the first issue
under the new management is any
criterion, the News is going to be a
hummer. We regret to loose our
old friend Harkins from the tripod
but his mantle seems to have fal-
len upon worthy and able should-
ers.
The republicans nominated a
negro for State Superintendent of
public instruction. This is the
first time that a negro has received
the nomination for a State office in
many a day and, small as the re-
publican vote is in the state,the ne-
gro candidate's vote will be much
smaller than the balance of the
ticket. The colored brother does
the voting, but must not do the
office holding.
It is possible, and quite proba-,
ble, that the solid South will be
broken at the next general elec-
tion. Louisiana is stirred from
center to circumference because
the democratic congress refused to
give extra ordinary protection to
the sugar interests, and many of
the democrats declare they will
cast their lots with the republi-
cans. The democrat who is a
democrat only so long as he re-
ceives special favors is worth very
little to the party and the sooner
he leaves it the better.
Some of the populists are claim-
ing that Browder "does Bailey
up" in debate. We have said all
along that a populist would claim
anything. They claimed Texas
two years ago and come out about
80,000 behind. They claimed
'Alabama and Arkansas and hardly
knew that they were ' in the race
after the election; and now the
third party paper at Bonham io
claiming that Bro Jefferies will be
-elected constable in this precinct.
r When some of these populist land
in hades they are going to claim
that they are resting at the right
hand of God.

LEAVELL BROS., Proprietors.
Van Alystvne is now a prohibi-
tion town A local option election
was held there Monday and prohi-
bition won by a majoritv of 41.
The Thirteenth district congres-
sional convention after balloting
thirteen days failed to make a
nomination and adjourned sine die
leaving the three candidates to
make the race at the general elec
tion. This of course means that a
republican or populist will repre-
sent the district. Congressman
Cockrell only lacked three votes of
securing a two-thirds majority and
was clearly the choice of the peo-
ple, but . the politicians worked
their rabbit's foot successfully.
Agayi we rise to remark that the
two-thirds rule is the most non-
sensical measure that ever found a
place in democratic ranks.
Another scandal in high life is
made public. The parties whose
names are now on everybody's
tongue are W. K. Vanderbilt and
wife, members of New York's 400.
Mrs. Vanderbilt was a Miss Smith
of Mobile, Ala., and was quite a
beauty. She is yery fond of dis-
play, and her name has been
coupled with that of Mr, Belmont,
who has paid her devoted atten-
tion. Mr. Vanderbilt and his
wife are in Eurpe, but are living
apart. He has taken up with- a
Nellie Neustretter and is publicly
and ostentationsly spending large
sums of money on her. Her car-
riage has the same crest, and her
servants the same livery, as those
of Mrs. Vanderbilt. His behavior
is so open and notorious it leads
to the belief that he is trying to
drive his wife to bring a divorce
suit against him. The papers are
filled with gossip about the affair,
and sympathy seems to be more
with Vanderbilt than with hit
-wife.
To-morrow the primaries will be
held in the Ashland congressional
district of Kentucky, and soon we
will know whether Billie Breck-
enridge is to be scourged or re-
warded for his crime. There
seems to be little doubt of his
nomination, but his election is not
so sure. His democratic oppo-
nents declare that they will not
support him if he is nominated
and it is not at all unlikely that a
republican will represent the
proud old Ashland district after
November.
To show the corruption that can
exist in large municipalities it is
only necessary to cite the City of
Memphis. In Memphis there are
1000 saloons and out of this large
number only 200 have paid license
for several years, while 800 have
dodged license and owe the state
and county several millions of dol-
lars.
Political rings control the cities
and the pets of the officers grow
rich, while others bear all the bur-
dens. We are are glad to note
that the grand jury has returned
1100 indictments and it is probable
that a number of the officers will
peep through bars pretty soon.

The Whole World Wrong.
There is something wrong with
this world, and just as soon as we
find out what it is we'll hasten to
tell the puplic all about the dis-
covery. The hardest workers get
the smallest pay. That's wrong.
The more honest a man is, the bet-
ter his chance to—land in the poor
house. The men who work the
most ought to be the best fed on
earth. They are the poorest fed.
That's wrong. When a rich man
murders his neighbor, he gives
bond, goes to trial and the people
call him "colonel." That's wrong.
A poor man does the same thing,
and he is put in jail, sleeps with a
nigger that smiles like a third par-
ty office-seekei, goes to trial and is
hung as high as Gilderoy's kite.
That's right. A poor man owns a
little home that cannot be cashed
for 1500. He renders it for $50C,
and the. equalisation board writes
him a nice postal card to come up
and hear them run it up so high
that he will think he is getting
rich, when rigjit then and there
neither man on the board would
give the poor ievil $300 in cash
for his house aid lot, with three
dogs and six ciildren thrown in to
boot. A man owning $100,000
worth of property in the town will
render it for $27,000 and never
have it raised a cent. That's
wrong. A conpany begins busi-
ness on a capifel of half a million
dollars. Thej employ a large
force of labores, and .in ten years
make twenty pillion of dollars,
and there is n<t one of their em-
ployes who coild make first pay-
ment on a skif, if ocean steamers
were selling at 25 cents each.
That's wrong. Society, that fidg-
ety, hypocritial dame, will open
her doors to tie grandest libertine
on earth, if he^s rich, while the
poor, but, upight, honest man
will not be allwed to stop in the
front yard. Tjat's wrong. When
the rich man des, the people close
their doors and wear crepe.
When a poor ian dies, they hire
two niggers tc plant him, keep
open all day ad half the night in
honor of the ccasion and never
think of weaing crepe. That's
wrong. There a'e several other
things that arewxmg, but as we
don't know th r<medy, there is
no use enumentiig them.—Tyler
Harpoon.
Maine Elections.
The state and congressional elec-
tions of Maine were held Monday,
and the result is a clean sweep for
the republicans. Cleaves, (repub-
licans) was elected governor by a
majority of 37,000, the biggest ma-
jority ever secured by a republi-
can candidate in the state.
Thos. B. Reed was re-elected to
congress by a majority of 10,000,
and all the other republican con-
gressmen were re-elected.
A loud clap of thunder will
cause a lobster to drop his claws,
a crawfish his fins, a woman to
scream, a cat to become deaf, a
pig's nose to bleed, and milk to
turn sour.

cents at J. L.
Deputy Marshal W. E. Brown
this morning showed an Advocate
reporter four $10 bills taken by
Bill Dalton and others from the
Longview National bank at the
time of the robbery soma months
ago. They were not signed when
taken, but were afterwards signed
by Bill Dalton himself, using the
bank officials names, and by him
transferred to other innocent hold-
ers. The holders of these notes
demanding their renemption in
good money, the matter was re-
ferred by the U. S. marshal to the
attorney general at Washington,
who returned them calling atten-
tion to sections 5226 and 5227 R.
S. and acts of congress approved
July 28th 189^as the law covering
the case. The bills were to-day
sent to the bank for redemption.—
