lated and intendsd te benefit the repubsican party. Day by day the evidences 0f this fzct hare be- come palmer and palmer, HntiI nov the truth Is SO clear and cEsan-ens that only those ~ho shut their eses purposeiy san fail b see.
 To show our resders once more how the greenbaeksrs are cross lift ing Tor the republican party. and to save perhaps some from following that hybnd de lasion further, we submit the latest proof which ought to be convincing t1 the most skspticaL Here is the republican national ticket:
 FOR PKEsIDywTTAL a1xcroRs.
 Al lxrge-W. J. Patton, J. H. Smith
 Firge districr-w. A. Monroe.
 Second distriet-A. 4. C, Rogers.
 Third district-W. F. walsh.
 Fourth districf-J. T. Penn.
 For congressman Third congressional distrIet-Thomzs Boles, of Tell.
 And here is the national green back labor ticket:
 FOR PEEsIDEgTIxI ELECTORS.
 At lzrge-J. N. Bradley, C. E. Tobey.
 First distriet-Geo. " McCauley.
 Second distriet-J. E. Lowdermilk-
 Third dfstrict--y. T. Wharton.
 Gf.<r f<.f 1T
 For congressman Third coDgression> al district-Thcmzs Boles, of Yell
 Observe that the same gentleman, the Hen. Thomas BoIes, of Yell county, is On both tickets for con gressman from the Third distrTct. and bear in mind that all that the republican party hopes to accom- plish in this state at thIs election is to beat Crsyens in this district with Boles, and defeat Jones in the Sec ond with Williams. In the Second district Rufus Garland is holding of a few disafected democrats in Will ians' interest, and in this district the republicans have just openly taken command of the gresnbacksrs and placed Boles on both tickets.
 Is there democrat in Pope coun- y who is willing to go in with this hybrid gang to put a republican rep resentative iu congress from this dis trictl If not let them wash their hands of the greenback party and go to the polls next Tuesday determined to keep the Third district in demo- cratic hands. And especially is it now the duty of every sure enough democrat to be On hand and work for the party at every voting pre- cine. Tuesday. If every democrat will do his duty next Tuesday as his country's good demands, the going down of the sun on that day will witness the utter defeat of all oppo- sition, notwithstanding ail the cross lifting and intrigueing of the twin brothers, commonly called republi- cans and greenbackers.

Upon the democrats of Arkan- sas, as much as upon the democrats of any other state, now depends the supremacy of the democratic party in the forty-seyenth congress. The loss of a single district in this state might give oyer the control Of this branch of congress to the republi- cans We call upon every democrat of this district to preclude the possi- bility of Judge Boles' electioa by turning out on the day of the cleo ton and voting solidly for Col. Ora yens.

Another Discovery.

Prof. Swift, Astronomer Of the Warner Observatory, at Rochester, N. r., discovered another large come, on the evening of October 10th. Tn: fact was noted Tn the associated press dispatches, but some impor- tant and interesting details which could not bo telegraphed are here with given. The new celestial visit or is in the Constellation of Pegasus,
 right ascension, 2l hours, 30 minutes declination North IT degrees, 30 minutes. Its rate of motion is quite slow, being in North westerly dir cotton, so that it is approaching the sun. It has very strong condensa- tion on one side of the centre, in ad-
 ditioa to a star-like neucles, which indicates that it is throwing off an extended tail. From the fact of its
 extraordinary size, we are warranted in presuming that it will be very
 brilliant, and the additional fact that it is coming directly toward the earth, gives good promise that It will be one of the most remarkable comets of the present century. Thls Is the fifth comet which Prof. Swift has discovered, and the increased facilities which Mir. H. H. Warner, the popular and wealthy medicine man, has given him, by erecting a magnificent Observatory for his bene- fit, promise much more tor the fu- ture. There is possibility that further developments may prove to be the great comet of 1912, which boing constantly expected, in which
 event astronomers will have an un.

A BILL has been introduced by re-
quest in the Ohio Senate by Senator At
kinson of the Monroe District, providing
for the levying of a tax of $4,000 on
this Richland township, to construct a
railroad from this place to a point on
the Tuscarawas Valley road. Under
the provisions of the bill the question of
the tax would be submitted to vote of
the electors of the township, after
which, should the result be favorable to
the scheme, the money will be expended
in constructing the road under the SUI
pervision of a board of trustees appoint
ed by the Court of Common Pleas. We
confess that we are somewhat skeptical
as to the propriety of this procedure at
the present time. A tax of $4,000 has
already been authorized by vote of the
people upon the village of st. Clairsville,
and all the preliminary proceedings have
been had for the construction of the
Northern Railway from this point to the
T. V. railroad. Bids have been received
and the Trustees are in position to have
the work begun at any time. 1t may be
that athe amount authorized is INSULT
cient to build the road; if so, there is a
possibility that the townships share
from the sale of the B. & o. stock may
be applied by the township trustees in
this behalf. While some may differ
with us in opinion, doubtless there are
many, possibly considerable majority
of taxpayers who would prefer to have
the amount already authorized expend-
ed before an additional levy is called
for. We deem it necessary that road
north should be built at an early day,
but believe that the means within the
reach of the present Board of Trustees
is nearly if not quite sufficient for the
nurDOSe
