our most sstimable citizens, and of

Were we to estimate men, either

Nothing is moro uncertain than
financial prosperity, The teach

be moro in consonancs with the
great financial revolutions daily
taking place, than to witness tho
curious spectacle, ten years hence,
of the pauper of to-day, presenting
to the Judge of the Mississippi
county court for allowance, q claim

YOUNG MEN TO THE FRONT /!

EDIroR TINES Those wero brave
and excellent remarks IN tho lead
ing editorial of your paper Of the
lst, in which you urge the young
mon of tho country to come for
ward and assert their manhood.
These remarks are true to the let
ter +:
"The fact il, the young men OF
this county, as we'll as every other
portion OF the state, have too long
bcen subject to the call and beck of
tho would'bc party leaders. The
tune for old fegy mon and fogy
principles isfast passing away. We
cannot afford to sustain the record
OF those who once had charge Of
public affairs, nor can we afierd to
pay for the mistakes Of the past,
much less make apologies foi
them"
Coed. The young men of AR.
kansas arc not responsible for the
blundcrs Of those who foisted foui
million debt upon us on account Of
the real estate and state banks
they are not responsible for the
manner in which ourpublic lands
were "gobbled" up prior to tho
war; they are not responsible fol
the squandcrlng of our school fund
during the same period nor arc
they responsible for what followed
during tho dark and bloody foul
years war which ragged between
1851 and 1865 nor again are they
responsible for the acts and doingl
nf tho swarm of Radical thieve,
foisted upon us by congress il
1868, who increased our debt by
millions, and outraged every form
Of decent government. No, SIR
the young men of Arkansas-whe
have always been true, and who
have followed in the thickcst o
the fray, wherever their old lead
ors bid them go are not response
bic for any Of these things, and n
is their fault now If they do not rs
sert their manhood and clam wba,
Of right belongs to them-the rlghl
to lead, instead of being led. They
cannot, nor do they propose to At
tempt TO defend tho blundcrs (to
say no worse OF it) prior to the
war any more than they would
think of attempting to defend the
rascalities during reconstruction.
To tho front, young men Of Ar
kansas! If you arc no more eapa.
bio of governing than were those
prior to the war, or thoso who out
ragged us afterward, then Is Arkan-
sas in bad way indeed. But they
ars All they want to do is to as
,ert their own manhood.
