tsltsss from tls People,
Some Suggestions Made in Good Time.
PoPE COUNT, March 20, lSI8.

PoPE COUNTY, March 70, 1873. | EDITOR DEMOCRAT: l see in the two last numbers of your paper that some voters and citizens of this county has been making nominations for Governor, County Judge, &c. The men that have been proposed are good men and are worthy of the position spoken of. Now, MT. Ed itor, undertake to say that the peo- pie who compose the rank and file of Pope conD.y, are not consulted in this mater of candidate making, and # appears that their rights are overlooked.
 We have . class of men that says the office should hunt the man, in stead of the man hunting the office. Now sir, these same men are the first to say this or that man must run for a certain office, and select him from their own class, instead of selecting him from the farmers that have the power to elect in every case. Some will say (politicians of courss) that the farmers are not qualified to fll the offices; let's see :: from 1850 to 1861 who represented Pope county III the LegislatureS Such men as J. L. Williamson, J. 5. Bowden, David West, William Poe, William Barker, and others, all farm CTS. Who will say that we did not have as good laws then, as we have now if they were enacted by the farmer? aud we have as good mate rial now, as we had then. Have the farmers lost all theIr confidence in each ther? or have they given up all their pride as classS
 Mir. Editor, le. me say to you that the farmers are supporting this gov ernment. Every occupation or in dustry that now exists depends upon the farm produce for their supplies of food and material to oper ate upon. The farmer raises the swheat, the corn, the pork, the cotton, and in fact everything that grows on the farm, and is abused because le does not raise more.
 That is his calling. He must not go to Congress, nor be elected Gov ernor of a State, nor be a member of the Legislature; no, no! he must not be elected to any place of. honor or trust. He must give the office to some man that is hunting it to sup pot himself and family, for he is not going to the farm to work for a living as long as he can delude the farmers to vote far him and stick to their farms, for they are not quail fled to fill an office.
 Mir. Editor, I want to tell the farmers that they have men of their class suitable to fill every office. from Governor down to township consta. ble, and the power to elect them, but from fear or timidity they are cheat ed out of them.
 Farmers, will you make one grand rally and elect men from your rankss You have good men, Kirk. Potts, J. R. Duke, Capt Parker. c. c. Oates, and many others shat are good and true men. Try it and if you find that our country is not bettered then give it back to the politicians and wire pullers, for we can't be worstei by the change.
 Now Mir. Editor, as some others have proposed q man for an office, allow me to propose one l have talked with many men of Pope coun- ty, and it Is the wish of a majority of our people that G. k. Burney Esq, of Russellville, become a can didate for County and P.obate Judge. Yours, Vox PoPuLI.

Star of Hope: The demand for mules in this country seems to be very active. Several droves have been sold here rapidly. This is q sad commentary on the policy of our farmers, who give the fruits oi their toll to people of other states, for such stock and other articles ol necessity as they can so easily raise at home.

 Dear Sir,-I most cheerfully ladd my testimony to the great humber you have already re- ceived in favor of your great and good medicine, Vegetine, for T,lo not think enough can de said in it's praise; for l was troubled over thirty wears with that dreadful disease, Catarrh, and had such bad coughing spells that it would seem as though I neye could breathe any more, and Eege- has cured me; and l do feel to thank God all the time that there is so good a medicine as Vegetine. ant I also think it one of the best medicines for coughs. and weak, sinking feelings at the stomach, and advise everybody to take Veg etine. for I can assure them it Is one of the best medicines that ever was.

 It is not this thing of getting out one paper that is wearing on fel- low, but it is the fact that it has to be kept up week after week. It is the steady drain, as something new has to put in every week to prevent monotony. The man who edits a paper is the slave of the pubhe. His readers expect him to give them an interesting paper every week, no matter whether anthing oi interest is stirring or not. Every is sue of newspaper is made up of many items, some of them the result of careful study and research, and others thrown off hastily to fill up, And yet people consider it an easy job. There is no class of people SC poorly paid as those who run news. papers. Nor is there another class so much imposed on by the public Suppose for instance a temperance lecture is to be given. The leaders come to the newspapers and bulldoze them into advertising it free. The churches expect notice for nothing for everything they get up. In fact it seems to be the generol impress ion that paper is public property, and must be made vehicle to carry the thoughts of every one.--W Windsor Mo. Review.

IT Is A Valuable Remedy.

sorTH BosToS, Feb. T, 1870, MR. STEVENS. Dear Sir,-I have taken sey- eral bottles of yonr Vegetine,
 and am convinced 1t is a val. luable remedy for Dyspepsia,
 Kidney Complaint, and gener- debility of the system. I can heartily recommend 1t
 to all suffering from the above
 complaints.

 When we hear man say he is al. ready taking too many papers to al- low him to patronizc his home paper
 his Home Journal we conclude he is groping in darkness made palpa- pie by the light being placed too fur from him; and if man is liar when he says he loves Christ but does not keep his commandments, we think man no less so who says he wants local paper to exist in his midst and yet fail to give it a living support.
 a "A writer in the Nsw Orleans Democrat has examiaea the tax-rate sin the various States and finds that Louisiana stands at the head of the list. The State tax there is II mills. The other States come in the follow ing order. South Carolina 10 mills; Arkansas 10 mills Git is proposed to reduce it to , mills; Tennessee 10 mills; Alabama 2 mills; California ' 3-20 mills, Florida 2 mills; Kan sas 55 mills; Texas , mills; Maine s3a mills. Ohio 1-5 mills: New Jersey ? mills; Michigan 24 mills; New Hampshire ? mills, Maryland TITO mills; Connecticut II mills; and Massachusetts mill. There is no State tax at all in Pennsslvania.
 Henry County O.. Sentinel.
 How many States are down wrong in the above list we are unable to say, but we CAN speak for our own State. The State tax in this State Is only seven t7 mills, and as the weight of taxation is often consider ed by persons seeking new homes, we object to being misrepresented in this respect. Our State tax is seven mills.
 Why is it that immigrants will settle on the north side of the river, when better lands can be had in Yell and other counties on the south side? Independent Arkansian.
 Don't fret, Bro. McGuire, immi- grants will continue to settle on the north side of tue river as long as they have eyes to see for themselves. They settle here because they see lands good enough for anybody; be- cause they see good society and tenn perate, honest, prosperous people because we have railroad transporta- tion, and because they can procure ho.1es on easy terms. But you have q good country on the south s,de of the river, Bro. McGuire, and you will get your share. There is no need of you showing any fretful, en- vious disposition in the premises, for the whole Arkansas river valley flom Little Rock to Fort Smith has bright future before it and is des- tined to fill up rapidly within 2 few years. Just go to work earnestly in the good cause and don't mind whether they settle north or south Of the rivcr-either sideis good enough

Another Tulare Excursion.

Mr.. G. b. Patrick, of Tulare, who
organized the last excursion from
that section, proposes q repetition
of the experience in a note which
he sends to the Delta. FGe says:
Understanding that a great many
more would like to participate in
the enjoyment of an excursion to
Santa Monica and return, would
ask you to inform the public in the
next Delta that will charter an
other car to Santa Monica and re-
turn, arriving in Los Angeles at
P. M. the day Of leaving Tulare and
will remain there that afternoon
and the next day and night, to be
spent in visiting the new and old
Missions, San Gabriel, Shorb's,
Wilson's and Roses orange or
chards, Lucky Baldwin's ranch,
Sierra Madre Villa, taking dinner
and returning to Los Angeles via
the Arroyo Seeo, and remain In Los
Angeles that night; and will then
70 to Santa Monica, giving the ex.
cursionists week there and ten
baths; the whole to cost $35 per
ticket. By getting the whole party
Of sixty together, 1 can obtain a re-
duction at the hotels, so that $35
will pay just even for the whole
trip, enabling the excursionists to
see all the sights. This is a great
deal cheaper than any one can go
and pay his own bills, and the sue
cess of the enterprise will assist in
inaugurating system of excur-
sions to other points. l want to
start by the 1st of Septem Der, If pos.
sible, returning by the 9th or 10th.
For those wanting to return SOON

made as before.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27.-About
8 O'Clock this morning, Detective
Jones and Officer Peckinpah went
to the Brooklyn Hotel to arrest A.
II. Manson on a warrant from San
Mateo county, where he was want
ed to answer the charge of arson
and assault to commit murder.
Proceeding to Manson's door, Jones
knocked, and when Manson spoke,
called him by name. I'M
mediately a pistol shot was
heard. The officers forced
the door without delay and Manson
was found fully dressed, except his
coat, lying over chair, the pistol by
him and ball through his brain.
He was still breathing, but died in
about an hour. The following facts
are obtained from Sheriff Green, of
San Mateo: For several years past
Manson had been occasionally en-
ployed to do carpenter work at
Laurel Hall Seminary, San Mateo,
Miss l.. A. Buckmaster, principal.
In the Summer of 1875 Manson and
Miss Buckmaster were married in
Philadelphia. while attending the
Centennial. The marriage was
kept quiet and did not come to
light until the return of Mrs. Man
son last Spring. Manson preceded
her some months, aud in the mean
time was busy putting up cottage
near the seminary. On his
wife's return it became evil
dent that Manson's habits were
such that he would make his resi-
dence at the seminary a detrlment
to the institution, and the wife re-
fused to allow him to take up his
residence there, though it is under
stood she supplied him with funds
when he needed them. Becoming
desperate at this condition Of af-
fairs, he went to San Mateo last
Sunday night, and it is believed
set fire to the buildings. At
all events, about 1880 o'clock
P. II. Mrs. Manson, who
had just fallen asleep, was aroused
by his presence in her bedroom.
He called her attention to the
fire which was blazing up briskly,
and then saying, ave will end
the whole thing now" he
began firing at her with pistol.
In the struggle which ensued she
managed to escape from the room
with slight flesh wound
in the arm and escaped to
the house of Sheriff Green,
near by. The seminary was
aroused, and by the assistance
of the neighbors the fire was
quenched, after burning the cottage
and gymnasium. Munson disap'
peared and was traced to this city,
with the result as above described.
