The Reason.

Washington, S.-Senator Slater, of
Oregon, said to-day that the result of
the recent election ID his state was
due to several circumstances, among
others to the influx of immigration
to the state since last election, the
majority Of the new voters being
republicans; to the influence. Of
certain high officials of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Coy which he did
not mean to refer either to Pres
ident Willard or the managers of
the company, but to resident Off
cials), and to the use of money sent
from Washington. The demo
cratic failure, he said, was also
largely owing to their having re-
ceiYed no assistance from abroad.
The only help they received from
the committee was in the shape Of
documents on the Chinese question,
but that was not made an issue.
Had the veto Of the Chinese bill
been given just before the election
and too late for the passage of any
other measure, 1t would have been
an issue, but as it was,
the question did not enter into the
contest to any extent.

BEGGING.
Full Pledged COIared Citizens
Asking q Trthe from
Government.

Washington, S.-Senator Plumb,
or Kansas, presented TO the Senate
to-day memorial from conven-
ton of the colOred people of south
ern Kansas, asking a grant of public
land to the freedmen of the United
States. The memoIialists ask that
Congress appropriate portion OF
the public domain suitable for cult
walton, with water and timber, for
homes for the freedmen; provided,
that a government agent be ap-
pointed for each district in the terri
tory selected to be thus approprl-
ated; that this agent be aH-
thOriZed to give written per-
mission to families to locate upon
eighty acres of the land each, con-
ditionally upon their cultivating
part for their own benefit during
i've successive years; that he be
empowered to supply each family
so locating, with the materials for
erecting houses, stables, etc., with
six months rations for each family;
cook stove, if needed, seeds, a
team and wagon. pillow and other
necessary farming implements, each
family contracting to pay for the
same in annual payments within
FIVE years; in the event of failing to
make such payment the property to
revert to government. If the pay
ment be made in full within five
years, the family locating upon the
land to be given deed for the same;
also that the government erect a
sufficient number of schoolhouses
and employ teachers and make edu-
ton compulsory, and provide regula-
tions for the territory, prohibiting
the sale thereon of intoxicating
LIQUORS.

A Quietua.

Washington, 7.-Col. N. d. Ball,
WOuld-be delegate from Alaska,
has received his quietus. His case
was so complicated that the COM
mittee on elections asked to be dis
charged from consideration thereof,
and recommended that it be sent to
the committee on territories. That
commlttee has had it under consid-
Grafton for two months, and it
finally resulted, to-day, in a report
TO the House that it was not advis-
able that the territory be allowed
any representation in Congress.

Editors Herald:

Editors Herald:
Logan resembles an average
United States Utah oficial-that is,
it is green" and beautiful; the
dust is pronounced success, so also
is the vegetable crop. Improve
ments are going on in all parts of
the city; there are new houses
going up on nearly every street. A
couple of Salt Lake plumbers are
here fixing the steam-pipes in the
Temple; that is the medium by
which the building will be heated .
a hay-stack and barn went I'D in
smoke last night. This may not be
startling news to you, but as eyery-
thing here is so quiet, it was appre-
ciated by us, for as the mother-in-
law said, its like q summer
shower-though unwelcome at the
time, it changes the monotony of an
uRclOuded sky"
There is a great deal of talk here
about erecting a new theatre. If it
is done it will be greatly appreciated
by the public generally. To say
that the weather is warm is as
some poet, no doubt, has. said
drawing it mild; it greatly re-
sembles the popular idea of what
Bob 1ngersoll and Beecher say does
not exist.
Well, "aliv OIL" I'm off tor
idaho this ''af."

MORELAND JOTTINGS.
Editor Democrat: :

Oh! deplsrable state! Oh! wretch. ed lot of the poor correspondent, who must write whether anything happens to write about or not. But the gaping public must have news.
 Young men, every one of you, go get married. The preacher is ready; the editor will not complain if the precincts of his sanctum be invaded with \ budget of the good news; Belisso is muchly anxious to get a fair chance at the cake, pumpkin ple, pudding and good things gen erally; the girls are waiting and are sure to say No. l don't know how the fellow felt, but it is just too bad to send & card three weeks ahead and then get left.
 What about that Reading Club? Shall l say in my next that you have organized such society? The world is moving, progressing, advancing onward and upward in the scale of intellect. Shall we lag behind, be weighed in tho balance and found wanting? No. We must keep pace with our neighbors. SIX months in 8 reading club, or some literary cir cle of the kind properly conducted, is worth as much as six months in our common schools. Try it and see the truthfulness of the assertion verified. It would be both more en- tsrtaining and profitable than your Saturday evening games, and these fine evenings are delightful for such gatherings. Let us have it by all means.
 Our schosl is progressing finely. Prof. McGehee ie proving himself truly "ths right man in the right place."
 Sunday school organized and promising success.
 Prospect for an abundant yield ot peaches is good
 Oats up and looking well.
 The rains have ceased and spring made its appearance to the delight ot all. Farmers are taking advan- tage of the opportunity thusa iforded them and are pushing their farming operations with vim that is truly commendabls.
 Large acreage of corn will be plant ed in this section this year.
 Wonder who are to fill the various offices nex. term? Is it possible they go begging? Come, gentlemen, show your patriotism. Announce yourselves. While you are planning and scheming we want to study you just "wee bit" Of course, you will all be elected, then why hesitate Tell your names.
 I hear of n disease prevailing in some sections to an alarming extent among horses and cattle, and fears are entertained that the people will take it. don't tknow what big name the "Medicine man" has given it. but those afflicted call it t-a.r.v-s' ti-o-n. Wonder any in our coun' try are resorting to sanitary meas ures or taking precautionary steps to prevent its approach? BELISSO.

THE FREE PASS SYSTEM.

The Iowa legislature is instltutipg inquiry into the free pass system as to it's expediency and effect on the members of that body and other of ficials. Brick" Pomeroy, in com. mentiug upon the question, thus discourseth in a recent issue of his paper:
 Down with the pass system" is we'll enough in theory, but it will not cure corruption in places. The law may declare that a man shall not re- ceive, or that a railroad may not give a pass, but such law is not binding, os it conflicts with mans liberty to give or to receive presents. Ali that can be asked of public servant is faithful service. He cannot be pun ished for receiving a favor, gift, or present of railroad pass or a pair of suspenders. A Legislator can be punished for receiving a bribe, but it IS impossible to prove that pass is bribe. A chartered railroad cor poration has the right to give or to sell it's favors, and it can sell an an nual ticket for dime or less, to any person i. wishes. The best way is to seek out and elect honest mon, and trust to luck tor tue rest.
 While no admirer of the old green back Brick" the DEMOCRAT fully agrees with hlm in the assertion that the need of the hour is faithful ser vi.e" from the public servants, and the best way to secure this dcsira. ble end is to "seek out and elect honest men,"

OUR NEW OFFICE.

| Well, the DEMOCRAT has been moved, and we are now snugly ensconced in our new quarters. We will attempt a brief description of the rooms as they appear to us. The building Is located on the south side of Russell street, be- 1 tween Jefferson and Oak streets, about midway of the block, and is forty feet in depth by twenty-eight in width, and is two stories high. AS the visitor enters the front door, he finds himself in the composing and press room of the "grsat and good" Democrat, which is splen- did apartment well lighted and vcnti- lated. On the left CT cast side of the room are the stands and cases conven- iently arranged for the transaction of the rapidly increasing business of the paper. In the center of the room arc the imposing stones, while to the rear of these stand the job printing presses. Making the circuit of the commo- dious apartment, the visitor comes to the fine large Campbell power press all ready to perform it's task of rum ming off the large addition of the DEM oCRAT at the rate of eight hundred copies per hour. What an improve ment on the ola Washington hand press After examining the presses and other parspherna lia of n first-class and thoroughly appointed office, and completing the tour of the establish ment, the sight-seer is ushered into the editorial room, neat and cOzily fur nished apartment, where our friends will find us at home daily Sunday ex- ceptedD from a. m., to 6 p. m. Ne pains nor expense have been spared to make the new office of the DEMOCRAT Publishing Company one of, if not the best and most complete in the state out side of Little Rock, and it has been done to meet the demand of the times. In the rear end on the same floor with the DEMOCRAT office will be found the office of the Arkansas Evangel, which is fitted up with every convenience to meet the demands of its business and rapidly increasing circulation. The mechanical department of the Evangel is presided over by MT. Will II. Miller, an excellent gentleman and experienced printer, while the publishing and ed- itorial departments are in charge of Rev. B. R. Womack, a writer of talent and force and a true christian gentle man.
 When you visit Russellville, de not fail to call at the DEMOCRAT office, where a hearty welcome awaits yo1 from the business manager down to and including the 'devil," the latter nec- essary appendage to every we'll regula- ted newspaper office.

LITTLE RocK GAZETTE, 26th.

LITTLE ROCK OAZETTE, ZOtn.
 Several weeks ago, it will be re. membered, the supreme court of this state rendered decree ordering the sale of the Memphis and Little Rock road, to satisfy debt to the state of about Sa40. COG.
 In 1861 the state of Arkansas loaned the Memphis and Little Rock railroad company 10000 at seven per cent interest A subsequent act of the legislature remitted S50,000 of the interest. The amount due, when the recent suit was instituted, was $240,000. Yesterday. under the supervision of K. K. Dow, represent ing the trustees of the old Memphis and Little Rock railroad company, the $240,000 was paid to the state treasurer. The amount was mainly paid in gold. A stout negro, pilot ing a wheelbarrsw, and followed by K. K. Dow and Mir. Creed Walker, of the German bank, visited the state house, conveying the "scsce article"
 A wheelbarrow load of gold IS not a common sight on the streets of Little Rock. A wheelbarrow load of nickels or hamper basket of street car tickets is not a sight so ordinary in occurrence that any one will rush along without looking. But gold, a whole load of gold, so heavy that the wheels creaked and the negro struggled under the load.
 This money comes in q time of need. Recently the state, in order to run the government, was compell- ed to effect the loan of $125,000.
 As the amount has been paid the road will not De sold.
 In 1855, the city of Little Rock and the county of Pulaski, each in vested $10O, 900 in the Memphis and Little Rock road. These loans, with ' per cent. interest, would amount to $578, 8,000--qulte q neat little sum.

STAY WHERE YOU ARE."

The following good story on one of the best men in Arkansas has never, we believe, been imprint:
 During the misunderstanding be- tween the North and South, Capt. J. P. Carnahan, now professor of mathematics at Cane Hill College in Washington county, commanded Co. c, 16th regiment Arkansas volun- teers, c. S. A., and was loved by his men as but few officers were. At the battle of Elkhorn Tavern, Ark, the regiment was ordered into the thickest 0: the fight, and stood thelr ground in the face of superior nun, bers on the federal side. But final ly, the battle ragged so fercely and the regiment was pressed so closely that the line was broken and the men began to waver and fall back. Capt. Carnshan, like the true and brave soldier he was, comprehended the situation at a glance, and, taking his stand in front of his company, shouted in tones that gave his men to understand that he was in earn e,t: Stay where you are, Company G., stay right where you are! Let the balance of the regiment go to the devil if they want to, but Com pany C., you will stay right where you arcY'
 It is unnecessary to state thaI Company G., stayed and did gal lant part in the remainder of tn, stirring scenes of the battle. There is not man in Arkansas to day who is more beloved, by all wht know him, than Captain, now Pro lessor Carnahan. and he is as true man in the paths of peace as he wa in serving bis country on the field 0 l battle.
