bined there is little room for doubt. Il. R, Democrat.
 We have often wondered if the greater part of the grumbling and complaining among workingmen in this country does not arise more from the incendiary teachings of de signing political demagogues than from any real cause. If the intelli gencc conveyed in the above Wash ington news be correct 1t is a strong confirmation of such a suspicion. We do not believe that there are any great number of cases in any part of our country wherein the suffering ard aestitasion complained of may not be accounted for in the intem- perance, wastefulness, laziness or natural worthlessness of the parties thus affected. True, misfortune may bring privation, want and suffering; but where man enjoys good health anduses industry temperance andfru- gality, we have seldom seen success fail to crown well directed efforts, and the laborer is generally able to accu- mulate a comfortable little home and support his family Tn responsibility.
 The pauperism of thousands is explained by the statistics which show Chat there is annually consum- ed in the United States hundreds of millions of dollars worth of beer, whisky and tobacco, and that large part of this enormous expense is in cured by poor workingmen.

Postmaster A. F. Liyington, of Conway, was arrested by United States Marshal last Thursday and carried to Little Rock to answer the charge of embedding public money.
 The Conway Democrat in referring to the arrest says;
 From our understanding of the matter, Mir. Livingston has been "more sinned against than shining" and Is guilty of no intentional wrong. His long service among our peo- pie in many public capacities, and his honorable discharge of the trusts committed to his care warrant us in saying that we are not prepared to believe aught compromising either his honesty or integrity as a man and citizen. The circumstances of the unfortunate affair, as we have been able to gather them, are as follows: Parties have frequently, of late, applied to Mir. Livingston for postoffice money orders, stating that they had not the money with them at the time, but would hand it to him in a day or two. He has never learned to say mo" when re- quested to confer favor upon a friend, and has complied with these requests until he was more than five hundred dollars short. The special agent for the postoffice department visited his office Wednesday for the purpose of settling up. and Mir. Liv- ingston, on account of his debtors for money orders not having paid up according to promise, was unable to turn over the money called for by his books. His bondsmen were sum. moned before the special agent of the department, informed of the state of affairs, and promptly made good the deficiency. Mir. Livingston immediately secured his bondsmen from loss. We sincerely regret the occurrence and reiterate four beliel in his innocence of intentional fraud.

THE WORKlNGMAN'S CON.
 OPTION.

The following is from the Wash ington dispatches of the 9th;
 Reports from United States Con suls in Europe show that wages in the United States are double those of Belgium, Denmark, France and England; three times those oi Germany, Italy, and Spain, and foul times those of the Netherlands; that prices of necessaries of life are lower in the United States than in Europe that more misery results from strikes drinking, socialism: and communism in England and Germany than from all other causes combined, the hard times included. The State depart. ment adds to the above synopsis oi the reports which it has prepared for publication, the following re- marks: The reading of these re- ports will remind many of our natur- alized workingmen, who are so fierce in denouncing the condition of af- fairs in the United States, of the hopeless condition of that labor from which they escaped by em;gra. tion to this Republic, and open their eyes anew to the superior position of the workingmen of this country. It will show our native workingmen the difference between labor disfran- chlsed, impoverished, degraded and hopeless in Europe, and labor free, independent, honorably and an equal sharer ln political power in Amer ica.
 With all the disadvantages that are complained of in this country, scarcity of money, low wages and lack of employment it is yet true that there IS no country in the world where labor receives SO fair reward as in the United States. As.t to the statement that more misery results from strikes, drinking, socialism and communism in England and Ger many than from all other cases com

The Department of Agriculture reports that the direct losses to sheep owners by the ravages of dogs reach sl 100000 annually in wool and mutton. The indirect loss in pre-. venting sheep busbandry in many districts, especially south, and con- sequent waste of large percentage of the grass crop, may be probably placed at double this sum annually.
 And yet it is the farmers general ly, who raise such howl when any attempt Is made to pass a law tax ing worthless CUTS. People will pay taxes on their sheep, thelr hogs, ,theil COWS and everything else they have but when you reach out for their dogs their is a howl.

SCORE ONE MORE FOR SAMUEL J. The Faulkner County Democrat, 8 new democratic journal just started at Conway, says:
 "In the great democratic "walk. over" in 1880, it is our opinion, judg. ing from the present indications that Samuel J. Tilden will lead the van. He deserves to be reelected because he was swindled out of the presidency to which Ee was fairly and clearly entitled; and because he possesses more of the ability for tho correction of great abuses in public places than any other man in the government, and our people are be ginning to realize that a man with just such qualifications is needed al the national capital.

Our experience has always been that the city mosquito is a much more ravenous and blocdthirsty beast than his country congener While his instinct for a tender place is infallible, his proboscis is longer and keener and his powers of suction simply unbounded. We encounter. ed the first one of the season las, night and he reminded us of one oi those fellows they stall-fced at the Louisville Gait House. We have been singularly spared from them so far this year, and we trust our re. prieve is not drawing to an end.-

Mir II. c. Munger informed us Monday, that the citizens of Mt Vernon and vicinity have subscribed about ss,OO0 stock toward erecting & Clement Attachment" cotton fac. tory. Last Saturday evening five directore were elected, and at their next meeting the site for the facto- " will be selected.-White County Beacon.
 It is wise move. From our ob- seryation for the past several years we are led to believe that there is but little profit to the grower of cot ton. The production of the raw material involves much labor and expense, and we have sometimes thought that the price realized hard ly paid fair wages to the producer, much less any profit. The only way to get any profit out of the staple is to manufacture it at home and real, ize the enhanced value of the manu- factured goods. When the raw sta pie is worth Sc. per pound, a figure which barely pays the cost of pro- duotion, thread is worth twice that price; and surely there must be a profit in spinning it when the value IS increased so much as 100 per cent And why should not the producer the hardworking farmer-realize this profit? There are, in every county in the State, greater or less number of farmers who, by close economy and prudent management,

Chicago is now thinking seri- ously of making an effort to open a cotton exchange and compete with other markets in handling the fieecy staple of the South. If she does go into 1t, and shows the same enter, prise and goa head in this matter that she does in all other undertak. ings that she puts her hand to, we predict she will soon make a name and fame as cotton market which will cause the cotton bales to com. mence rolling Chicagoward.

We object seriously to the propo sition lately put forth to begin al once the discussion of the merits and demerits of candidates for State offices. We want to see no such "ball" put in motion. It is time enough six or eight months hence to begin such work, Let us discuss immigration, agriculture, public schools, manufactures-anything and everything that pertains to the public good-but let us maintain ar iron quarantine on the several polit ical aspirants till it is time to heal from them. There is no sense ir climbing the mountain before we gel to it.--L. R. Democrat.
 We, too, object to opening the DO litical campaign thus early, so fal as the discussion of the personnel oI our next State ticket is concerned We are opposed to any man or sci of men pushing their names and claims before the people thus soon It is too early by many months fol slate making, and, in our estimation that candidate or aspirant who in sists and persists in letting the deal people know that he is getting bush els of letters soliciting him to run for office, only damages his owI chances for preferment at the proper time--at least so far as our vote is concerned. Thus far we fully agree with our respected contemporary the Little Rock Democrat. But while we concur thus far with oul city confreer, we do not think it toe soon for the newspapers of the State (since they are said to be moulders of public opinion) to commence let ting it be known that they are going to erect at their leisure, between now and the next election, stan dard of qualification as to compe tency, honesty, true moral worth and manly dignity, by which each and every aspirant who offers his name for office will be most rigidly and exactingly tried; and that no matter how clever fellow, how old friend or how much we may like him per sonally, we will not advocate any man for office unless he IS fully uI to the standsrd-or at least nearer up to it than any other man offered for the position.
 The press must educate the masse: up to this point and while we would not have the discussion of our man ufacturing, immigration and schoo interests neglected, we do not think it would be amiss to commence lay ing the groundwork for an "iror quarantine" against all imbeciles demagogues, political tricksters and worthless wire-pullers who swarm tc the front at every election.
