I'm soliciting your votes I will say that AZ,

only DESTROYS OF promoting the welfare OF fha

That appears to be plain English, Mr.. "Gnn.

ARKANSAS.

Of the southern portion of this naturally
favored State, Hon. r. b. Caufman, of H.
hnois, writing to his home paper, the Paris
Times, on the first of May, said, among
other things:
Here is the finest timber l ever saw, al
though my whole life has been spent in
the timber, and much of the same in the
working it in various ways. All the va
rieties Of timber are found here that grow
in Illinois, with some others that can
not name. The bottom lands are very
rich, and, there being many streams, a
large proportion of the land is of that
character. The forests are now almost
full leaf; fruits are far advanced; wheat
and oats are heading out, and corn is lar
ger here now than in Illinois the first of
June. Much of the farming is done in a
very primitive style, SO far as grains and
grasses are concerned, cotton being the
great staple.
All who are industrious and moral are
here welcomed, but the immoral and law
are not wanted. Game is plenty in the
mountains; deer and wild turkey abound.
and the the streams are full of fish, The
climate is beautiful. and all that is needed
to make this one of the most beautiful
and productive countries in the whole
Union is industry and perseverance.
PRAISE FOR DETAINED PEOPLE.
AS to the people, they are as sociabIe,
generous, moral and law abiding as YOU
can find from Maine to Florida, or fiom
the Atlantic to the Pacific | think the
people of Arkansas have been scandalous-
ly mlsrepresented, most egregiously lied
on. have been received here with the
greatest kindness, and the stories which
are atioat in the North about the reckless
and immoral character of the Arkansas
people is mistake.
am at present in community where
nearly all were Confederate soldiers; /
am as safe, most certainly, although am
known as having been in the Union ar
my, as would be in Edgar county.
do not pretend to say that there are no
bad people here, for it is sadly true that
IN all localities there are reckless ones.
make these statements not to reflect on
elsewhere, but do so for the purpose of
removing from the minds of many at the
North wrong impression. This country
has been avoided on account of false state
ments, and any one who desires to locate
mere will lind warm welcome
There is one thing | would say to those
at home: if you come here, and bluster
and make fool of yourself, YOU might
get into trouble; but come here and be
gentlemen, you will be treated as such. /

ALL ALONG THE LINE.

Tne fight against discrimination in rail>
road friends is assuming gigantic proper,
tions, and from Maine to Texas there are
indications of coming struggle between
the people and the corporations, which IS
likely to shake the nation from centre to
circumference. The local grievances are
various, sometimes apparently diametri-
cally opposite. But the argument by
which all the complaints arc supported is,
that if it pays to carry freight at given
price, then it pays to carry it a shorter
distance for proportionate less price. 1t
it don't pay, don't carry 1t. To do SO is
an unjust discrimination against the ship
pers for shorter distance, and must be
stopped - Charleston News and Courier.

assuming large dimensions in the Central
Asiatic province of Russia, reaching YEAR
ly at present more than 10000, 900 kilo

industries and partly finds its way to Rus

proportion in the shape of cotton fabrics.
AS the northern boundary of the cotton
zone in Turkestan, the valley of the river
Arys is usually taken; but also in the re-
gion around Taskent considerable GUAM
tlty of cotton is grown, which ripens
about October. In these regions the
American cotton also hourishes; vet in
spite of repeated attempts to introduce its
culture, it has made but little headway.

THE PLOW AND THE PEN.
NY MICHAEL scANLAN.

From the West leaps out thunder shout
That thrills the nations heart!
The plotting chief and the legal thief
Grow white in the public mart:
And shameless fraud, that walks abroad,
And rules with an iron hand,
Whose nets are thrown from zone TO zone
Over all the tortured land
All the legionry of monopoly,
That grapple the peoples life.
Things foul that feed with insatiate greed
And fatten on peace or strife
Now b1anch and cover at this mighty power
Which comes to judge and smite.
Hurrah for the men of the plow and the pen,
Who lead in the Grangers fight!
We've bearded the woods grim soltudes,
We've buried the waste in flowers,
Wood the wild earth into fruitful birth,
And 'couched her in fairy bowers,
Till the young wines roll'd over seas OF gold
Ard died in the fragrant hay,
Till the wanton rills, by clatt'ring mills,
Ran musical through the day,
The songs of the BIRDS the rattle OF words
From our children romping about;
The women Within with their household din,
Gods beauty and bounty without!
Till the very air seemed palpable prayer,
And our spirits rose refreshed;
TILL when the day had died away
To gleam in the merry west.
We said, mo lord, nor robber horde,
Can coGsecrate our toll,
And we blessed the land where the toiling hand
Was master of the soil.
But all our dreams were mirage CLEANS
Bright phantoms of the sum-
We plowed and sowed, we reaped and moved,
But when our work was done,
The spoiler came, in freedoms name,
And swept us of all but LAND
Came like thief with high belief
And law in his dainty hand;
And he whose brood neer titled a rood
Rolls by in his vulgar pride,
While his lordly train bediZened and vain,
Rides by his plethoric side;
While we and ours, who've woven the houls
Into labor, and love, and care,
Can only NOPE, while our stars of hope
Are setting in black despair.
Plow and SOW! harrow and NOW!
And gather! We cods of the SOIL
That cunning and fraud may revel abroad
And fatten upon your toll.
What avais that he who assails
Is Democrat, not lorde
Ist sweeter to be in slavery
To Cunning than the Sword?
When every right is crushed by might,
All manhood beaten down,
What victim cares if the despot wears
bonnet or a crown?
Not all the speech the masters teach
Can save the slave from shame.
Away with can't We freemen want
The substance, not the name
., Liberty! thou soon shall be
Redeemed from city marts,
And proudly crowned when girded round
With loyal Grangers' hearts!
And now, at length, our giant strength
Shall smite the plotting knaves;
Our deep Ieform, lashed by the storm,
Shall gulf them in its waves.
Can scent per cent" brave our discomfort,
Or range his puny
To meet the shock-the wild Siroc-
Of our men of mind and thew,
Hurrah for the men of the plow and the pen!
Strong hearts and brain combined!
What foe can stay the headlong sway
OF our mighty march of mind?
Hand clasped in hand, we firmly stand,
Secure in our myriad might,
Our battle-cry is "Victorv,
And God defend the rightv'
