ARKANSAS DEMOCRACY
Address of the State Central
 Committee.

In the opening of the political campaign for the present year, the state central executive com mittee, referring to the satisfacto- " advancement of our state on the road of political honor and material prosperity under 3 Dem ocratic administration, desires to invoke thu continued action ot the whole people to secure the perpetuation of q condition of af- fairs SO satisfactory to every pa trio.ic citizen.
 In q period incredibly short, Arkansas has been redeemed from state of political vassalage and financial bankruptcy to that of a sovereign equal in the Amer ican confederation, happy and prosperous at home, and respect ed abroad. To the people of the state, through their representa- tives, belongs the honor. It only remains for them to act together to perpetuate the blessing. To that end your committee has call ed q convention to assemble at the state capital on the l4th day of June next, and urge upon all who have the interests of the state and party at heart, to take part in the effort necessary to make that convention in the fullest sense represent the sentiments and interests of the whole party. As each individual must suffer by the maladlninistration of pubic affairs, so is he under obligations to assist in shaping events so as to secure pare and compc- tent administration.
 Your committee urges prompt action in this matter, first upon the county executive committees. In counties where a call for a con vention can not be regularly made from any cause, it is suggested that as many as three members of the party in fair standing in each township might unite Tn a joint call for township and county conventions, giving ample notice, and thus effectually organize the party without the intervention of mass meeting for the selection of al executive committee. As to the exact mode of organizing no positive direction is given but the hope is strongly induiged that such organization may be eff fected as that the will of the party may be fully reflected in all the oonventions-township, county, congressional and state. In such cases do not wait for some one else to act. act yourselves and see that others do.
 It is an important era in our history, and the destiny of the country for years to come is to be determined. The same corrupt dynasty under which Arkansas suffered so long has now possess ion of every department of the federal government, except the lower house of congress. That is doing faithful work, and Ar kansas has four representatives to give her voice expression.
 You will he called to vote not only for candidates for state ofti- ces, but also to appoint delegates to represent you in the National Democratic convention for the purpose of choosing candidates for the highest executive offices of the general government, and with the prospect, for the first time in many years, for giving your preference expression at the general election. The occasion is propitious, as well as important Let each member of the party dc his part as an individual, and tho beginning at least will be secure

= ssBegun ,Crooked.,,


One cold morning last week. I heard
the following conversation between a
child and friend who spent the previous
night in the family to which she belong.
ed. Said the girl to the visitor: "Were
you cold last night?" The visitor pleas.
antly replied, that cit was very cold when
he put his feet down in the. bed, and he
had to lie crooked all night" Imme-
diately the child replied: ."Thatwas be-
cause you begun crooked" Probably
most persons understand the. truth and
aptness of the remark, who have slept in
cold room and "spare bed" on win
ter's night. ,s
But the remark, so expressive as origi-
nally applied, is capable of a still wider
application, and is suggestive of some
lessons.
Look at the youth, who is irregular in
his habits, and crooked in all the paths
which he marks for his feet, and who is
even now so near destruction as to be al
most past recovery. He has lost his re-
gard for his parents, lost his self-respect,
lost the confidence of his friends, lost all
reverence for sacred things, and has ap-
preached to the verge of ruin. And as
you look do you ask the cause of all this?
We answer, "He begun crooked"
Look at that man in trade, who tells a
different story to each customer, and mis-
represents, and bows, and fatters, and
lies, and says all manner of crooked
things to dispose of articles which he has
for sale, while none who know him be-
lieve word he utters. Are you aston
ished at this, and do you inquire how
one, in a Christian land, can be so
perverse9 We answer, "He begun
crooked"
Look at that professor of religion, who
is continually source of anxiety to his
pastor, whose conduct and feeling are as
variable as. the wind; who smiles to-day
but frowns and frets, Tomorrow : who is
sometimes burning up with zeal, and
sometimes as cold as am iceberg; who is
now here. now. there. now this ones
friend, now that; ones friend, who can
be pliable as willow or as stubborn and
stiff as the sturdy oak, and who is known
to be crooked disciple, upon whom lit
tie reliance can be placed. Look at him,
we say, and mark5out his course, and
then if you wish to know why he is thus
inconsistent and variable, our answer is.
"He begun crooked" and he will be
crooked to the end of his life. All the
preaching in the world can never get the
crooks out of him. e q 49,

"Well, yes. He said that you wore old
clothes and pretended to be poor, but
that you were in reality foreign prince,
with gold enough to sink canal boat,
and that if approached by royalty you
would unbosom yourself, and, as the
Americans say, come down."
"That isn't all he told, is it"
"No-he also informed me that you
had wine in your cellar that was madein
the time ofthe first Crusade, and that you
would invite me in and fill me so full of
pound cake and the juice of the ancient
grape that I would be compelled to get
into one of your most luxurious beds and
remain over night"

"We thought perhaps that as you were
an Emperor, you spurned to walk through
an ordinary gate, and crawled under the
fence. Now, Pedro, old boy, let's see if
yon' can get through that gate again with
out knocking any of the paint Oft the
posts"
He started slowly down the path, but
stopped presently, and by the movement
of his lips we judged that he was indul.
ging in silent anathemas. We quietly
picked up brick, and he moved on again
and was soon out of sight. That's the
only4way to deal with. Centennial, spell
