Let St. Louis Do the Work.

Fayetteville Sentinel: The eff ort of some of the press of the great cities to manufarture pub lie opinion for one or the other of the prominent candidates for the presidential nominations at St. Louis, meets with no success whatever. An exchange truly says as far as the democratic par ty is concerned, there is an evi- dent determination on the part of the masses to put presidential ticket that will win by reason of its intrinsic merit rather than any mere partisan outcries. Up to this time there is nothing but uncertainty in the democratic horizon, and no combination has vet been named which shows strength enough to give it weight with the people. Of course sev. eral "slates" have been made, but the slate smasher is about as we'll as the maker, and all the movements looking toward the nomination of particular favor. ties have come to naught That's exactly right. Let Saint Louis do the work, not scheming interested politicians. Send the best men in the party to the Ma tional convention, and demand for them the best nomination fol the party and the country. That is the only sure aRd certain road to success.

In some instances wheat is being plowed under and cotton planted in it's stead.

The oat crop is also reported as not being altogether promising.

Public Candor.

II uU1AC S0BAOIs
 l.. R. Gazette: We believe that if public men would be more can did in dealing with themselves, they would naturally be more re- liable as public officers, for fre- quently, when honest men enter the field of politics, they imagine that they must keep well to the wind of public opinion, in order to acquire and secure public favor. In consequence of this, they be-
 gin to juggle with their own con victions, to study for apologies for what they believe is right, and too frequently for plausible arguments in favor of what they are satisfied is wrong. Now we are we'll satisfied that there are few men, comparatively speaking, who do any independent thinking; the large majority take their opinions of political men and measures from others, to whom they look in confidence that from their more favorable situation, or for some other cause, they have a better opportunity or ability to determine fairly on the question. It is the more important, then, that these recognized leaders should deal honestly with them selves in forming their opinions, that they may not betray the con fidence of those who look to them. Yet we do not believe the majori- ty of men can be hoodwinked and led bilndfold forever. Recogniz- ed leaders can fool them ONCE; they cannot the second time on the same issue. The American people cannot be said to be phi. losophers or logicians, sbut be
 yond question they have some sound munitions, and when events force them to think, theil munitions guide them almost un' errlngly to correct results. A positive man is always strong; he m kes a staunch friend, and he makes an enemy that must be respected, and is to be feared on
 ly for his strength. There art questions now arising in state and nation that are to be determined for the veal or woe of the people themselves; they look in a great degree to recognized leaders tt find a solution for them, and they will be guided in a great measure by their counsel. o, ye mer who claim to be such leaders
 deal honestly with them; do no' betray the trust reposed in you
 These questions are to be deter mined not only for the present but many of them for the long future. Sufficient unto the day the evil thereof" Heap not up for generations to come trouble and vexation of spirit "TO voul own selves be true, and it mus

Jacksonport Herald: From


 Jacksonport Herald: From conversations had with several of our planting friends, in different portions of this county, we learn that both cotton and corn are about ten days earlier than last year, growing finely with good stands, but somewhat in the grass. The wheat crop, in general, is not near so good as it was last year, the rust having set in upon it, and the yield per acre will not average over ten bushels. The reason for this is attributed to the very unfavorable season at seeding time. We are glad to state that the farmers are still in the notion of raising plenty of corn to do them, and are making strenuous efforts to get q stock of good hogs. Let them do this and all will be well.
 Ft. Smith Herald: The tune is changed and now comes the good news from all quarters, that the present outlook for the wheat crop is better than at this time last year. The same of oats, cot ton and corn; and those who have noticed say that the acreage is greater, and that the prospects are good to be able to report 8 greater year than we did last sea son. So mote it be.
 Star of Hope: Too much rain, and farmers have to seek shelter and look at the grass grow. They complain much, but are working lustlly when they can, and hope ere long to subdue the troublesome invader. The bugs have done great injury to the corn, and have not yet ceased their ravages.
 l Texarkana Democrat: It has r&ped at intervals during the present week. The effects on the growing crops and gardens will be favorable.
 | Van Buren Argus: Crops in Crawford look we'll. The old farmers tell us that there never was a better prospect for a large yield of cotton than there is this year. Corn, wheat, oats, and rye leok we'll. Wheat VII average about half g crop. There is more cotton in cultivation in this coun ty this year than the!e has been at any time since the war.
 Des Arc Citizen: From all the information we can gather, w. judge the wheat crops of Prairie county will be about the same as last year. It would undoubtedly have been much larger but for the big cotton crop of last year. It would undoubtedly have been much larger but for the big cotton crop of last year, the picking of which interfered with the sowing. There is 8 little rust occasionally this year, though no great harm is feared from it. People are preparing to cut in 8 few days.
