MARK THEM.

Every member of the present leg islature who votes for the abolish ment of the office of State Superin- tendent of Public Instruction is, if not in intention, in truth and reality, an enemy to the common people and to the progress and prosperity of our State.
 We do not mean by this to inn pugn any members motives, but we DO mean to critlcise most severely such members iungment, and con. demn most emphatically all such Legislation. If a member desired to do Arkansas great injury he could hit upon no surer plan.
 We move that every member who votes for such measure be marked with an undercrop and slot in the left ear so that he may forever after be known, and the mistake of ever again sending him to the Legisla- ture avoided.
 Upon this motion we move the previous question.
The Russellville Democrat., 1879-02-06

How would it do to take the ten millions of dollars that we have left from the Geneva award, and which is now lying idle in the Treasury, and offer It as encouragement to the establishment of lines of ocean steamers to forelgn ports with which we are forced to trade through En- glish merchants and English bot toms? In that way our foreign trade could be speedy restored.
 Because South Carolina complains of hard times, the Northern Radical papers profess to hold her Democrat ic administration responsible for the lack of general prosperity. It will require years of rigid economy and most prudent management to recu. perate from the prostration inflicted on that unfortunate state by thiev- ing rascals who controlled her affairs during the carpetbag era.
 One of Grants admirers says sthc old man would not make a wry face at proposition to put him on tho retired list with the rank and pay o general" The face of this distin guished person is always suggestive of rye, and we don't think it will be changed by an offer of such retire ment. Grant cut loose from the ar my payroll when he embarked ir politics. Itss will he hard for him tC i get hooked on again.

 The Arkansas Legislature Satur. day elected J. D. Walker United States senator to succeed Dorsey. Judge Walker resides in North Ar kansas, a section that has the honor for the first time to send q senator to congress. Judge Walker belongs to the younger generation of men in public life, and his chief defeated opponent R. ". Johnson belongs to the oldest, who has had his day before the people in public life and honors. Judge Walker has abilities and requirements which will enable him to rank with his colleague Sena- tor Garland. Memphis Appeal.
 Whether or not the question turn ed upon ability or experience is a matter undecided; but we believe Col. Walker will in every sense prove faithful representative and being scholarly gentleman of ready comprehension will soon master sufficient experience to make his efforts felt. If it turned on popular. ity why it is clearly demonstrated that the ''old democracy" is on the wane. Col. Walker is q representa- tive of the progressive democracy of Arkansas and her citizens are right proud of his election. n.-Morrillton State.
 In confering this honor upon one of the sons of the Great Northwest, the legislators have acted very wise ly, and it will no doubt be the means of more closely uniting all parts of the State in the great battle that will be fought in 1880. His interest are and ever have been identified with the people of the State, and during his term of service, as a pubhc ser want of the entire people, he will know no north, no south, no east, no west, but will labor for the advance. ment of all as one common people, Alma Herald.
 The Times Journal, of St. Louis, to use slang phrase, "has got the wrong SOW by the ear" Tn it's descrip. tion of the personnel and powers of the Senator elect, Hon. J. D. Walker
 The late Judge Walker, of the Su- preme Bench comes nearer being described than our new Senator, with the exception of that papers esti mate of his abilities which is wholly incorrect. Nor is it applicable Tn our opinion, to Senator Walker whom we regard as 2 man Of more than ordinary intellectual powers and gives promise of making one ol the most acceptable Senators we have had for many years. It would be well for onr Missouri contempo rary to inform itself before it dab bles in Arkansas politics and save the exhibition of lamentabie igno rance of Arkansas men and parties.

WALKERS LETTER OF AC-

The following is Hon. J. D. Walk CTS letter of acceptance addressed to the house committee appointed to notify him of his election:

STATE sUPT. OF PUBLIC IN
 SEDUCTION.

We believe the proposition to abol- ish the office of State Superintend. ent is step backward In our opinion the success of the school depends greatly upon the efficiency of the State Superintendent and County Examiners.
 So says the Ozark Democrat, and Bro. Colman's head is exactly level on this question. And just here, for the benefit of those persons who are clamoring for the removal or abol. ishment of this important office we reproduce an extract from a letter from Rev. Dr. Sears, General Agent of the Peabody Fand, which we find in the Little Rock Democrats.
 "Finally you will see from oul published instructions to State Su- perintendents, that we distribute aid through them only. They only can be relied on for information and recommendations. We must have this facility in our work. We can not do without it. Our distribution to schools in Arkansas must come tc an end if there is no State Superin. tendent to be the official organ ot communication with all parts of the State. Which is the more econom ical course to pay the salary of the Superintendent, and receive six thousand dollars ($6,000) a year from the Peabody Education Fund, or save the salary and lose the ap propriation? With us it is not $ mere matter of convenience, or meas ure of safety in applying funds where we are total strangers, but o PRINCIPLE. We do not give money to poor schools or poor systems O schools. We do not work in an, State where the people fall off anC let their schools run down."

Fractional Currency.

One of the greatest outrages upon the people in currency affairs, is the withdrawal of the fractional curren- cy. Silver can't be. safely sent by mail, while fractional parts of dollars in.paper money can be sent anywhere for anythlng-for papers, books, seeds,s plants, medicines, etc. Cur readers in remiting, are troubled to get half.dollar in paber currency to inclose with the dollar. Postage stamps were not made to be used in that way, and postmasters make . large per'cent, on postage stamps us- ed and sold for that purpose-and people have to pay that per cent. Why some member of Congress does not take up this matter, introduce q bill for new issue of fractional cur rency and champion the measure through Congress, we can not see. It is the peoples money-the money to use through mails. Publishers are interested in pushing this mat ter before the eyes of Congressmen. -Coiman's Rural. Jan. 10th.

UNNATURAL DISTRACTIONS.

Certainfundamenta laws of nature are demanded by the human orga Il ism. As life requires constant and regular action, there is necessarily a continual wearing out of materal and corresponding accommodating of etfete matter, which must be thrown of through the different channels of the system. This is absolutely neeessa " to healLhful action of the human machine; but should these channels of egress become obstructed, or blocked up, disease and suffering would be the legitimate result. Near ly all females, married or single, at stated times suffer these obstuctions, leading to headache, leucorrhoea, loss of appetite, hysteria, prolapsus, loss of color, prostration, cancellation, etc. There is one remedy which will cure this condition of female life known as English Female Bitters, the grand triumph as female regu- lator.
 SICK HEADACHE
 Two doses of Bailey's Saline Alp erient will cure the headache. One dose will cure sour stomach or heart. burn. A few doses will cure habit ual constipation. It will relieve the dyspeptic, it will cool and quiet the stomach, 1t will unlock the liver, will open the pores of the skin, qulet the nervous, act without pain or nausea, and as apurgative is far preferable to pills. It never fails, and especially adapted to the ladies who wish a pleasent medicine.
 A MIDNIGHT FOE.
 During "wee sma" hours when all are wrapped in silent slumber, the lnsidous subtitle foe unpercieyed and unsuspected quietly enters the pri vate sanctuary, attacks the inmates and pours it's poisened miasm into the blood, which iparalyzes the nerv- es, locks up the secretion, innervates the stomach, and severe chill is the result. This deadly foe must be dlsar- med it's deyasttng influences must be counteracted, it's effects must be over come; the stomach must be cleansed and toned, the liver unlocked and the bowels moved. Do this and chills and fever can not exist, and we know of but one combination that will accomplish all these results at the same time and that article is Days Ague Tonic, which never fails to cure.

PENALTIES ON SCHOOL DI.
 RECTORS.

"The school law should be SC changed as to impose fine upon directors for non performance oi their duties. Ozark Democrat.
 There is, already, as will be seen by reference to the school laws of state, penalties provided. Sec. 59 reads as follows: "Any director who shall neglect or fail to perform any duties of his office, shall forfeit to the district fifty dollars, to be re- covered as directed in the preceding section, and to be added in like man ner to the school revenues appor- tioned to his district"
 Sec. "A reads: "1f any trustee of any district fail or neglect to make report of the enumeration, statls- tics and finances of his district, at the time and Ill the manner prescrib- ed by the preceding sections, the said trustee shall, in addition to his forfeiture for neglect of duty, be lia- ble for any damages, including the cost of suit, that the district may sustain by reason of losing the school revenues that would have been otherwise apportioned to them"
 If these provisions were strictly enforced, and an example made of a few trustees 5he school interests would not be 'cted as they now frequently iany trustees.
