JUDGE JERE BLACK OK
 TlLDEN.

The Chicago Times of September 90 contained the following Especial expressing the opinion of the able Judge on the next president. While it is short and concIse. 1t is able and scholarly, successfully answering and repelling every charge and islander against the Hon. Samuel J. TiIdeu; WASHINGTON, Sept 30.-Judge Jere Black, the veteran bourbon, is in the city, and says, in an rntervieF, after disclaiming being a Tilden man:
 I don't think Tilden wants to he candidate of 1880, but he can have the nomination if he is wiling to take it. All signs show that the fraud of which he was victim in 1876 gives him fold upon the pop ular heart which is hard to lessen Besides he is known to be man consummately fitted for the first of- flee in the nation, thoughtful states man. studious doctlinaire, with knoledge of practical affairs whiek makes his judgement almost inf;i1. ble. As regards the once much-talk. ed of cipher dispatches, what do they prove? Why, this, and only this, that those loathsome miscreanls who held returns in their hands tried to blackmail him-demanded money as the price of an honest certificate and a true return. He indignantly and instantly refused to be robbed, and then tue scoundrels fabricated fraudulent returns, for which they were paid by the Hayes men. de. fy any man to lay his finger upon one scintilla of evidence beyond what l have stated which connects Mr Tilden with these infamous ras calls in any other way. But the false returns were all paid for by the ad- ministration which they put in power. Every one of that goddess crew is provided with a profitable office. There is double baseness in this. To reward men for corrupting cleo tion returns is unspeakably bad, but to do it with money taken from tue public treasury is such public out rage that it casts common bribery or ordinary stealing in the shade. It is said .hat Mir Tilden ought to have -ized the Presidency and had himself inaugurated at all risks. ThIs is anmitigated nonsense. Ifths House of Representatives had declar- ed him elected, then he would have been unfaithful to his duty if he had not taken possession; but when his political supporters in Congress per mitted him and his constituents to be juggled out of their rights, how could he remedy the wrongI How, especially. can members of congress who committed that grave error throw the blame upon him?

THE EUREKA SPRINGS.
A Democrat Correspondent Tells
 What He Knows About Them.

Mir. EDITOR: For the benefit and information of your readers I will tell you what I know of the cele5ra ted Eureka Springs, of Carroll Coun- ty.
 I left my home for these noted waters of health on the 9th inst, and after four days riding I reached the site of the recently discovered Springs. Having but short time to investigate the merits of the wa ter, went to work and visited the different tents and houses occupied by parties who are there for various diseases and ailments. From the information 1 could gather in this way it appears beyond question that all have been benefited. Some have been entirely cured and have returned home fully convinced of the efficacious qualities of the waters. Still hundreds are there yet, eagerly awaiting the day when they can go forth healed and we'll and singing the praise of the Eureka Springs.
 There is no mistake about It; any one who will go there and stay long enough to give the waters chance will be benefited, but the tales ofsuch wonderful and speedy cures as have been put In circulation are exagera- tions.
 The Springs are located in piney country, very rough, hilly and noun famous, and are situated in very deep hollow or ravine, with high walls rising on either side, making it somewhat difficult to get about. The hill sides are covered with ca bins and tents. Visitors can get very good accommodations. Board S2.50 to $3 per week. The waters are free, all you have to do is to help yourself without money and without price. Respectfully,
 J. NJ. HAMILTON.

Plain Talk for Young Men.
J. NJ. HAMILTON.

Remember, my young friend, that the world is older than you are, by several years; that for thousands of years it has been full of smarter and better young men than yourself, that when they died the old globe went whirling on, and that not one man in ten million went to the funeral or even heard oi the death. Be smart as you can, of course. Know as much as you can; shed the light of your wisdom abroad in the world; but don't try to dazzle or astonish the people with it. And don't imagine that thing is so simple because you may happen to think it is. Don't be too sorry for your father because he knows so much less than you do; he used to think he was as much smarter than his father as you think you are smarter than yours.
 The world has great need ofyoung men, but no greater need than the young men have of the world. Your clothes fit you better. than your ia. ther's fit him ;they cost more money l; they are more stylish. He used to be straight and nimble, and, perhaps thought his father old fashioned, your mustache is heater, the cut of your hair is better, and you are pret- tier than "pa." But young man, the old gentleman gets the biggest sal ary, and his homely, scrambling sig nature on the business end of a check will drain more money out ofa bank Tn five minutes than you could get out with ream of paper and cop per plate signature in six months.
 Young men are useful and they are ornamental, and we all love them, and we couldn't engineer picnic successfully without them. Bu, they are no novelties. They have been before. Every generation has full supply of them, and will have till the end of time; and each crop will think themselves quite ahead of the last, and will live to he called old fogies by their sons. Go ahead. Have your day. Your sons will, by and by, pity you for your old, odd ways. Don't be afraid your merit will not be discovered. Peo- pie all over the world are hunting for you, and if you are worth finding they will find you. A diamond isn't so easily found as quartz pebble but people search for 1t all the more intent.y.

EDUCATIONAL ITEMS.

There ought to be no pauperism ih this land of plenty. There ought to be comparatively few criminals but the land is flooded with both paupers and criminals.
 Education will relieve us in the future of these calamities, ,-unwise legislation, pauperism and crime. - American Journal of Education.
 And how should we make an edu- cation attainable hy all the people? How but by upholdlng, fastening and increasing the number and efficiency of our public schools.
 The people do themselves the greatest possible injury, they invite a blight upon their posterlty-and they court disintegration and degen- eration when they throw obstacles in tine way of the success of our pub lie schools.
 Let the rivalry between the pub lie and private schools be a generous and magnanimous one. There is work enough to be dune in the di rection of training and educating the youth to engage all, and employ the best talent that enters the field of labor.
 Keep up the reports" The local papers will cheerfully chronicle ali items showing the progress made by pupils.
 The teachers are the strongest al lies of the publishers. They create a constant and increasing demand for better local newspapers. Each help the other.-American Journal of Education.

GOOD FARMING VS. BAD
 FARMING,

The farmer has not the moral right to rob the soil, though he has the legal right. Agricultural papers should always strive to impress upon farmers the necessity of conducting farm operations so as to keep the soil productive, leaving it no poorer to the next generation than they found it. This would be good farming, not bad farming.
 In our State--ih the whole West in fact.--there has always been so much good land lying waste and idle, that farmers have found it easier to let their land go and take up new and fresh lands rather than feed and nourish their old lands. Neverthe- less, there is truth in what Colman's s Rural World says in the above para graph, and the time is coming when our farmers will see the necessity of so conducting farm operations as to keep their lands productive and live ly,

We are watched by intelligent eyes. Those who oppose good free public schools in Arkansas may think it makes no diference-that the state will prosper all the same without them. They are sadly mis- taken. They are doing the most fatal thing for Arkansas prosperity and for the future welfare of their own children when they oppose popular education. Arkansas will remain the home of the backwoods- man forever unless we educate the rising youth of the State. 1ntelli gent people from all other States are watching us and our action in noth- ing else is noted so closely. People of worth and intelligence will never come to state opposed to public schools. But thank God, the mum. Der who oppose the new era in Ar, kansas are dwindling down to an insignificant few, and soon no man or woman will be willing to be rank ed on that side of the question.
 The American Journal of Educa tion has this so say of us;
 All over the Stata of Arkansas public schools are being organized on a new and permanent basis. The towns and cities are very. few that fail to carry "by 2 large majority" the vote for the funds necessary to sustain public school from six to eight months; public spirited citizens come forward. in most places, to supplement any lack of funds derived from taxation with private means sufficient to secure tht desired end. Hon. J. l.. Denton State Supt. Public Instruction, Prof Fish, Superintendent of Schools ir Little Rock, and Prof. Ladd, agent of the Peabody Fund, have done and are dolng, grand work in show ing the tax payers just what tho schools will do for the State. A new era of prosperity is just dswning up on the people. and they sec that in telligence is more and more a poten and necessary factor to win success in the race of life. Give the chil dren chance. The money expend ed to educate them will pay | large percentage,

Charles Heiphry, the confessed murderer of Burgess James, is lucky man. He has been caught, will be tried, convicted. and if hung, vii. go straight to heaven. Hence his luck. To be serious, isn't this great parade over urderersibecoming too common2 Isn't it filling up too much space in our newspapers. Many an honest hardworking Inaa dies with not single prayer (out- side his own for the saving of his soul, but let murderer be under sen terce and prayers flow thick and fast for the saving of his. Has Jeho yah offered premium for the souls of murderers? If we ars to believe all these lying dying speeches from the scatfold, we will soon come to think that to commit murder is pass way to heaven-and the darker, the more cold blooded the deed, the sur CT the murderer will be to walk the golden streets of paradise.-Clarks- vile Herald.
 The great wonder will be if Hell phrey, a self,confessed murderer. guilty of one of the most diabolical deeds of blood known to the annals of crime, ard Holland and Casey, his accomplices, do not escape, and again go about at their deviiish deeds of outlawry. We have seen so much dilly-dallying with crime have seen justice thwarted and crim inals triumph oyer the law so often by the aid of quib5ling lawyers and through the "delays of the law" that we never know whether crim, inal is going to be punished or not. The chances are ten to one that crime nowadays will go unpunlshed. AS long as this is the ease bad men will not curb their depress- ed natures.

pr. Lemoyne, of Washing, Pa, died at his home near Washington on the 14th inst. He was a man once noted in American politics, and of late years possessed of some noted eccentrlci.ies. Forty years ago he was the candidate of the Abolition party for Governor of Pennsylvania. He was also the nominee for Vice President with Gerritt Smith. One of the eccentricities of his old age, however, brought hlm more prom, nently into notice than any of hls political achievements. A few years ago he became an enthusiastic advo
 cate of cremation, and spent much money and time in constructing or his own farm a crematory for the ex
 press purpose of cremating his owr remains when he should die. II

Wagons by the thousand are ship ped to Arkansas, and yet not wa gon factory of any importance in the State. The timber is cut in our forests, sawed in our mills, shipped to northern factories, and bought again by our merchants to sell to the man who first cut the timber.-- Spirit of Arkansas.
 Such bad management will keep us down and make us hewers of wood and drawers of water forever. If some man of enterprise and cap ital wants good location where he can make money by manufacturing wagons, blows dc; and where he can get a plentiful supply of the very best wood cheap and at easy reach, let him come to RusscllvIlle.
