Cor. HOHE AT SANTA BtRBtRA.-The Press in noticing Col. Hodges second lec- trre at that place says: The closing part the lecture was devoted to the 3Jth Parallel Railroad, which the speaker explained as being both feasible and practicable, and one which would open up wonderfully rich country, embracing Prescott as a center in Arizona. and which, when completed to the Pacific coast. would pOura wonderful stream of wealth into Santa Barbara if this should become the terminus, and which the Colonel claimed is the natural terminus of the railroad which should cross the Coast Range at the SOledad Pass. We wish our business men and citizens generally could have heard the lecture, and hope they keep up commun- icatiOn with Col. Hodge while he is on his Eastern lecture tour, and render him such assistance as may be needed to further the building of the 35th Parallel Railroad

 Man Shot.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 4.-The dem ocratic clubs of this city had a final demonstration tonight. There was great deal of bad feeling displayed by crowds on the sidewalk. It is stated that several boulders were thrown into the ranks, injuring some men in the procession. One man was shot by negro, who was prompt ly arrested by the police and hur- ried off to the station house, fol lowed by a large crowd, with threats of lynching him. No alarm was turned on, and crowd of several thousand men collected around the station house. Mayor Johnson addressed the crowd, advising them to leave the pris- oner in the hands of the officers, which had a quieting effect. At a late hour the crowd dispersed.

SHALL CRIME BE PUNISH
 ED?

Again a horrible crime has been committed within the borders of our county, and again will we be made notorious on account of this bloody decd.
 What shape this deed will be distorted into, and what slurs will be cast upon our people and coun- ty on account of its commission, by the time it IS heralded to the world by hundreds of newspapers, is hard to tell; but if the prompt, active, determined effort which should have been made to ferret out tEe outlaws and cravenly brutes who committed the deed, had been instantly set on foot; and, if together with the report of the commission of the crime, it could have been announced that the authorities and the mass of good citizens where the deed oc- cured were after the murderers and that tue chase would not be abandoned until justice had her clutches upon them, great DOT tion of the stigma which this crime will bring upon our commu- nity would have been removed. But such an assertion cannot be made, and although it will be an injustice to our people, the impu tation will be that their inactivity and seeming indifference in re- gard to the taking of human life, arises from their inclination to- ward barbarism ana unciviliza. tion. More than two weeks have now elapsed since the commission of the murder at Douglass Store, and yet we know not that the foul assassins have ever been molested or arraigned for the deed. We know not whether the true au- thors of the deed are known, but there is a strong suspicion against several parties, and we doubt not had the proper effort been made the guilty ores might have been ascertained and the strong mana cles of the law fastened upon them.
 We can attribute this fatal in disposition on the part of our of ficials and the citizens to nothing else but timidity. There is no loop-holes in our laws to allow crimes like this to be perpetrated, and the guilty ones to go map-

THEPOsITION OF FRANCE
She will use Every EndeavOr to Maintain Peace, but will Never Compromise Her
 Honor.

PARIS, Nov. 3.--In the chamber of deputies to-day Duke DeCazes, minister of foreign affairs, made . statement in regard to the poll cy of the French government in the cast. He dwelt principally on the country's need of peace, and concluded as follows:
 "If, contrary to the expecta- tions of tine government, compli- cations should arise, we shall nev- CT ask you to compromise the honor and safety of France in a struggle which does not involve her essential interests. Thus having used our best endeavors to maintain the peace of Europe, we-shall at least be sure of being able to maintain it for ourselves" :"

COME RIGHT ALONG.

We continue to receive letters and postal cards every mail al most making enquiries concern ing our country and stating that the writers are thinking of com ing to our state.
 We now say to all these par ties, and to all others who are contemplating looking mp new homes, that the best thing you can do is to get on the cars and come to our state and look at it before you break up where you are. Our country will bear in- spection. We do not believe there is as good country for a poor man on the face of the globe as this. Nor do we believe there is a fairer field for the investment or capital Tn manufacturing mn ing and stock raising. We have everything you need, and if you will come and see for yourself you will find it just as we tell you, that the hundreds and thous- ands who ares rushing headlong to Texas and Kansas, would do much better here. They,,pull up stakes and rush to Texas not knowing where or to what they are going, and consequently do not feel contented when they get there. Our advice is to just make a prospecting tour to our section of Arkansas first, and sec how you like it. You will find all the railroad companies and transportation lines will be ac- commodating and liberal to you | if you wish to come and look at our state, and we rsdict you will not regret having made the trip.

and our constitution challenges the commendation of all states men. But what do laws amount to if the penalty Tor the violation of the same is not visited upon those who violate them? The terror is not in the law, nor the penalty prescribed for it's viola tion, but solely and alone in the certainty that that penalty will be visited upon the head of him who dares to violate the law. Re move the dread of the penalty. and of what benefit is the law? ? We most earnestly protest against this injurious indifference mani fested in our county, and we warn our cstizens against the fatal con sequences. Why, instead of standing back aghast or retiring quietly to home and merely regretting this deed and doing nothing to appre- bend the devils who did it, the citizens of that community should have turned out in mass and headed by the Sheriff of the coun. ty such Q search should have been made that would have shown the desperadoes and outlaws who did the deed that the peoble of Pope county did not intend to allow such acts within her borders. The moral effect which snch prompt action would have had, even had the authors of the deed not have been apprehended, would have had nest salutary efecct upon lawless iperons; and, too, it would have purged our county of any censure for sympathy or tol- eration of crime. We warn our citizens that the course they are pursuing in reference to the sup pression of crime is most damag- Ing. Many believe that a man would be in far more danger now in Pope county, to steal a horse than he would to take a human life. This is a bad state of feel ing and it must be changed by a more active, prompt, determined and vigorous visitation of the penalty of the law upon criminals, or We will see crime steadily in- crease. Our officials must be more jealous of the honor of the laws which they are elected and sworn to administer and execute. If of. ticers fail the time when crime trenches the land in blood we had as well dispense with them altogether, and each man be his own protector. Then, perhaps. these desperadoes who bring dis grace upon our country, would meet their just dues.
 Let citizens and officers deter mine that henceforth if human life is taken in Pope county, the mur- dcrer shall most certainly not es- cape.

SILLY PREJUDYCES.

Many silly prejudices seize upon and exist among the masses of mankind with which this world is peopled. These prejudices generally exist among the com mon people and are exercised against those of their race who seem to prosper and thrive. Of this class is the prejudice which has sprung up among the tlllers of the soil against the merchants. So widespread and so strong has this prejudice became of late years, that now the average farm CT and laborer seems to almost look upon the merchant as a hui sance which ought to be abated, an extortionist who ought to be suppressed, pilferer who gets his profits by some illegitimate and unfair means, or a self-con. stltuted tithe gatherer to whom tribute must be paid without re- ceivlng back any benefits. There is no more foolish, unfounded and unreasonable prejudice than this, and none which is so we'll calcu. lated to recoil injuriously upon those who allow it to exist in their minds. The idea of array ing those two great interests the agricultural and commercial intercsts-against each other is simply ridiculous, and can have none other but damaging effect on the country. These. two inter- csts each have their sphere, must exist, and are essential in a great and prosperous country. They are mutually and rec,procally nee essary and beneficial to each other The farmer would make but poor progress if he could sue ceed in the task in which many seem to be engaged, to-wit: break ing down the merchants and de. stroying the commerce. The man who invests his money in merchandise is in as legitimate business as the one who invests in farm, and if he conducts his business upon fair and honorable principles he deserves success just as much. It is utterly i'm possible to dispense with the ser vices of some one to conduct the commerce of the country. When commerce is active and the trades men prosper, times are a great deal better for everybody than when trade is stagnated and the crash of bankruptcy overtakes the merchants. Hence the fool ishness of the farming and labor ing classes trying to pull down the merchant. If the class who are prejudiced against the mer- chants would only think for a moment of the inconvenience to which they would be subjected were the merchants to withdraw from trade, they would certainly see that it is to their interest to Geal justly and fairly with them, and would cease to look upon them as enemies to their welfare The commercial and agricultural interests of a country are the sur est evidences of its prosperity
 and when there is not mutual prosperity it denotes an unhcal

NOW, SOMETHING ELSE!

The great political contest IS now over, at least so far as the people have anything to do with it at the polls. It now only re- I mains for the pallets to be sum med up, the result to be duly an nounced, and the successful can didates to be inaugurated into office. That the country may en- joy q season of perfect peace and great prosperity under the new administration is a consumation most devoutly to be wished for; and to this end, we presume, are the desires and hopes of ali N good citizens, irrespective of race, : color, or previous condition ofpol- itics. The country needs peace and a relaxation from the stress of excitement inseperable from q great political contest such as is the choosing and changing of the prime administrative officials of our government. For weeks and months all interests and attention have been centcred upon the cleo tion which is now over and past. Ithas been all the talk and all the ' interest, with all classes. Men and even women and children have plunged head long into the turbulent vortex of a heated political campaign, aban- doning for months all other ob- jects and subjects. The nowspa- pers of the day have fed their readers upon one perpetual flow of political talk and speculation. The peaceful interests of the country have been neglected, and for the time forgotten in the wild fray and tussle.
 It is well that it is over, and we'll that the country is subjected to this whirlpool of political strife no oftener than it is. If the cost of all this strife, excitement and toll over a presidential election, could be summed up and the re- suit placed before the people who eso eagerly engage in it, it would be found that the profits which are generally supposed to be gain ed, are dearly earned. But it is over and we turn from it, and looking around us we find that we shall not be wanting for other em- ployment more profitable and more pleasant. There is an am pie field resdy and waiting for the exercise of all our thinking and acting powers-a field to which we may turn our efforts and ener- gies with full assurance of ana pie reward for its cultivation, Let the political excitement. therefore, with all its bitter ran. cor, its heated spats, its crimina- tions and recriminations, s,-often times unjust and foolish-.pass from our minds; and let us each as good citizens turn our attention to those neglected interests around us, upon which we must m fact depend for whatever degree of prosperity and happiness we shall { enjoy.
 Our social, our moral and our educational interests, all stand prominently before us, presenting q sadly neglected front and ap. pcaling to us in most beseeching terms for our attention. The re- mobilization of our country will never be accomplished, we will never enjoy that degree of pros perity, and our people will never realize that peace and content. ment which is always essential to happiness of the people, until we v turn our efforts in this direction Therefore let each good citizen begin at once to study this phase of our condition, and while they are doing 50 let the press of the
