 POLITICAL TRIMMERS.

If there is one thing that is a char acteristic of Arkansas political life at the present time, it is the class of politicians who, we are.sorry to say, are in the majority and are nothing but "trimmers" following public opinion, fuctuating with the tide of popular sentiment. and living on the breath of passion and prejudice. To sum the whole matter up, we are cursed with demagoguery. The weak kneed negative non committal, non ideaed man carries the day. Our legislatures have been filed with this class; and from the cross road patriot, to the man who aspires to be chief executive, they are marked with these characteristics. Is 1t not time for a change? Is it not time to see that it is an evil? Is it not time to know that State can never pros per when our government is intrust- ed to such weak, and puerile hands? Is it not time to see that by such a course we have lost our dignity and influence as a state? Is it not time to know, that we are regarded as numbskulls by other States of the nation, judging by the intellectual weaknesses of those who are chosen to rule over us? Is it not time for a change? Your political trimmer is man that agrees with everything and everybody; he carries gutta per cha principles, he stifles his own soul to prevent a single idea of his own from escaping, for fear that it will rot be popular. We must have q change. We must have men who have principles they will fearlessly defend. We must have men who, after forming their convictions, can lead; and not follow public opinion. We must have men who have that god like devotion to political honesty to stand as champion, even if he falls as martyr. The weak and vascilating non -committal office seeking man IS the political moth that has eaten up the fine fabric of advancement and progress ill our state; and so long as they are retain ed Tn office, the condition and pros perity of Arkansas will stand like a dead pool of water, incapable of ris- ing any higher or sinking any lower. We must have statesmanship, not demagoguery; intelligence, not twa
 de; strength, not weakness; courage, not cowardicc; then, and then only, can we look for better day-the dawning of new era.--Arkansaw Traveller. .-tI gt
 The standard oc requirements laid down by the Traveller, as being nee essary to qualify man for the posi- tion of Governor or other high officer of the state of Arkansas, is n most excellent one. What it says is true as gospel whisperings and is worthy of serious consideration. For man who comes as near filling the stan dard as any other man we know of we commend to the notiee@of the Arkansaw Traveller the name of Col. Ben. T. Embry, of Pope,

RETRENCHMENT IN OUR
 STATE GOVERNMENT.
The Man for the Work.

A correspondent writing to the Independent ArkaDsian has this to say upon reform and retrenchment in the administration of our state governments:
 My father always taught me the way out of debt is to stop extraya- gance of all kinds and curtail expen ses, and spend nothing ncedlessly A state in debt is just as man in debt As wise man manages hls own business so must state man age it's business. All these things is work for the legislature at it's coming session. Besides the legis- lature as a retrenching power we need a Governor to execute in the spirit of retrenchment. Gov. Miller has proved that he is not capable though he may be honest. We need wise man and good financier for governor. None of the candidates are equal to the duties of the gGber natorlal position. 1 know of but one man whose qualifications are ade- quate to that position at the present time. That nan is Col. B. T. Elm bry, of Atkins. With him as gov ernor and a good legislature, the ex pense of running this state govern ment would not be one half of what it is. Instead of talking so much about our states indebtedness. we we should be up and doing in the way of retrenchment."

A Literary Brilliant.

a There is no periodical that we receive
 with more pleasure and qualification
 than Frank Ieslies Popular Monthly.
 The title is exceedingly appropriate,
 for in an eminent degree, it possesses
 elements of popularity: and that this
 fact has been fully recognized by the
 reading public, indubitable proof is
 afforded in the. large circulation it has
 attained-exceeding, probably, that of any similar publication. Not only
 does it surpass most of its rivals in this
 respect, and in the excellence of it's lit
 erary and artistic departments, but the
 amount of reading matter it gives
 greatly exceeds that of higher-priced
 foreign and domestic magazines, As
 regards merit and eheapness, therefore,
 the Popular Monthly has powerful
 claims to patronage. The number for July fully substantiates these claims,
 and it may be regarded as a genuine
 literary brilliant, for it's pages sparkle
 with bright gems of thought and of aatistic skill. The opening paper is on the subject of Smuggling in the Unit ed States-.lts extent, It's Perils and its Penalties. The many ingenious meth- Eods of conccalment adopted by the Ismugglers, both male and female, are exposed, and the article Is illustrated with twelve cuts. Professor Joy con tributes a second paper on the "IIisto-
 ny of Eleetricity;n it is of profound in

ROCK BUSINESS
 HOUSES.
The Names of those whom we Recommend to our Readers.

The State Convention meets at Little the coming week. It is likely that a good number of our readers will be in the Capital then, and it is always the case that visitors to the city from the smaller towns wish to make some pur- chases. There is a great deal in know ing where to purchase. We therefore give our readers a list of houses which we confidently recommend as being the best in the city.
 For Groceries, Wines, Liquors, &c., go to either
 CHAs. F. PENzEL & Co.,, Successors to Miller & Penze,, or to
 CARL & ToBEY, Successors to Dowdle & Carl.
 The former house you will find at the corner of Markham and Commerce Streets, near the Steamboat landing.
 The latter on Markham Street, oppo- site the l.. R. & Ft. S. Ky. office. Messrs. c. & T. are agents for the Royston (Arkansas) sheetings and spun yarns, and for the Miami Powder Company.
 For Tinware, we unhesitatingly rec ommend the long established house of ROBERT ERODE. This is the place for you to go for iron, nails, hardware and everything of the kind. This is also the agency for the John Deere Moline Flows. If you want anything in. the way of Hardware from foot-scraper to "Champion' cook stove, or anything else no matter how small or how great, go to Brodie' $ for it.
 For Books, Stationery, Wall Paper, &c., &c.,, go to
 JOHN E. REARDoN, in the Dencla Block. This house was established in 1852, and has always born the reputation of dealing fair and selling at short margins.
 For Musical Instruments, go directly to | KELLOGG & COMPANY, who will also be found in one of the commodious rooms in the Dencla Block. They keep all kinds of Pianos, Organs. and Musical Merchandise, and fully warrant every instrument. They will exchange you new Piano or Organ for an old one. t..,tl.
 For Jewelry, We recommend either of the firms of, BERNAYs & RoEcK, and J. V. ZIMMERMAN. .s The former is at l7 Main Street; the latter in the Woodruff Block, on Mark ham Street, 3 doors from Main. These houses both keep a superb stock of goods in their line, and they will sell you anything you may want JUST | RIGHT.
 For sewing machines go to $. E. KIRBY, 1l3 West Markham Street, and you car get any kind of a machine you want, al the lowest possible figures.
 For legal advice go to
 CLARK & WILLIAMS, who are known to be as able attorneys as there can be found in the State.

 THE COUNTY CoNvENTIoN.--Else- where in to-day's paper will be found the proceedings of the County Conven- ton held at Dover last Saturday. The Convention was largely attended and everything passed off smoothly and sat isfactorily. The delegates all seemed to evinee disposition of fairness and candor which is truly commendable. We suggest that it might be well for readers to file away this issue of the DEMOCRAT so as to preserve the pro- ceedings of the Convention for future reference.

Miller, as an l.oncst man, but we cannot see how he could have cn- trusted so much to 50 weak human vessel as Jafies NJ. pomefoy. though he wear the appellation of Adjutant Of the state of Arkansas.
 Now, all shat has been accomplish ed by this whole matter, IS the re lease of George " Jones from the punishment he deserves, for he ac- lznowledged On the witness stand that he was guilty of perjury; and the mulcting of the state i'll a debt of at least fifty thousand dollars. You sec Pomerov has been . great help to Jones, and an extrayagant headed general, great magnifyer, and for all this George Washington Jones is his friend.
 It will be well for the readers of the Independent to bear in mind that five of the prisoners were mer- chants of Waldron, one tho Clerk of the county, one a lawyer, one doctor, two farmers, including old man Pen dry. one school teacher, all of whom were kept in close confinement for nearly two months, and for the loss of that time there is no redress, as the state, according to our constitu tion, cannot De sued. This has all taken place in the year 1878, in the boasted land of liberty, under a dem ocratic' state administration, repre- sented by James NJ. Pomeroy, Adju- tant General of the state.
 We have received a eommunica ton from one of the liberated pris- oners, in which he speaks kindly of the Prosecuting Attorneys, the off, cers and men of the militia guard, but not one good word for Pomeroy
 We dismiss this subject for the present, but we cannot think of this whole transaction with any degree of patience.
