So, ifthey become extremely technical,
We will demand an investigation of the
fraud, farce, and intimidation by which
this constitution was foisted upon us.
These remarks are suggested by the as
sertion of certain Brooksites that our
present constitution provides only for
amendment (and that in very rounda
bout manner), and contains no provision
for the formation of anew one. SO they
would contend that a majority of 10000
ireemen were TO be fettered for all time
to come by an instrument that never did
receive u majority of votes for its adop
ton, The only possible chance for the
defeated insurgents to ever regain their
lost control over the State will bc by
legislation on the part Of Congress, more
violent and unjust and unlawful than the
original reconstruction measures.
You can tell better than whether they
will make any such attempt methinks
the "party" will have as much as they
can attend to without any more expert
mental reconstruction Of Arkansas, los
ing ground as they are all over the coun.
try. a word abut the miserable and ri
diculous story these fellows told at
Washington about fears for their lives
unless Congress restrained our blood
thirsty people here
WHY, my dear sir, Joe Brooks has
been here all the time, except flying trip
to Washington only few days ago :;
every one Of the old crowd are minglng
freely with our community, riding about
in their stolen carriages, occupying their
fine mansions built with the proceeds Of
their robberies, the fattest, sleckest, best
dressed, fastest living fellows in all this
region
Free to do as they please and to go
where they please, except-and the sole
exccption--nto the official positions from
which they have been finally and forever
hurled by the result of revolution of
their own misbegetting. This is all the
damage they have sustained, and the
measure of that damage is IN exact pro-
portion to the relief and benefit the peo-
pie have gained.
AS to Free Trade, Hard Money. and
Home Rule, no State will respond more
readily than ours to your most excellent
and soundly Democratic triple motto.
You will readily perceive that our sole
efforts are now directed to the last and,
to us, the most important of the three,
" Home Rule" BY the lst December
next we will have disposed to our salts
faction of that; then we will proceed to
the other two.
If remorselcss runian had your throat
in his murderous grasp, your sole and
absorbing concern would be how to over
come and defeat him. After you had
him PROSTATE at your feet then you

speaks of Scribner's Monhiv:
ave are constrained to own that Scribner's
Monthly carries of the prize against all our
shilling monthly serials for brilliancy of IL
ustrations and variety of contents. IL is
simply wonderful shillng's worth. Moth
ing can be more charming than the cuts-full
of force and yigor; the light and shade are
managed with truly artistic power. Out
of its one and twenty original articles we
really DO not know which TO choose rs best.
for each and all are excellent.
Not only Is it true that Scribner's Monthly
exces the English Magazines, but 1t Is The
Best of the American Monthles.
In the extent, variety andartistlc excellence
of its illustration of American themes. 1t has
never been even approached, much less eX-
celed. 1t has n larger page and gives great
er variety in its contents than any other of
the Standard American Monthies.
In literary character. and in the brillancy
and ability of its Editorial Departments, IL
enjoys an equal pre-emncncc.
Its conductors started with the definite aim
of making it the best magazine Ia the tcortd. of
which they have never Tor n moment lost
sight.
A considerable demand has recently arisen
In England for 1T. Nicholas, Seribncr's New

rhe success of st. Nicholas In this country
has been even more remarkable than that of
Scribner's Monthly. IL Is pronounced to be
IAN ideally perfect Magazine for children, "
and rs Is the case with all the best literature
for children. 1t has been found to possess sur
passing interest for grown up readers. IA well.
The influence of the periodicals Of the day
can scarcely be estimated, especially upon the
rising generation. Parents and teachers can
not afford to be Indifferent to this influence.
or careless in relation to the character of the
literature furnished to the children outside OF
their school lessons. In st. Nicholas not only
are History. Natural Philosophy, Literature,
Fine Arts, and Manufactures presented In an
attractive way tn Young readers, but the ciil-
dren are stimulated to seek information for
themselves.
The Publishers will send to any address a
specimen number Of st. Nicholas, postage
