COLOR NO BAR,

Mir. 5. B. Jenkins, a colored school teacher. was examined at Clarendon, Ark, on the 4th inst, passed very creditable examination, and was ad- mitted to the bar to practice law in the different courts of the state. We congratulate Mr. Jenkins upon his well-deserved success, and hope that his flew profession may prove a remunerative one. The commit tee of. examination consisted of Hon. $. F. Hughes, Messrs. F. D. McCul- loch and H. N. Hutton, gentlemen well known to the legal fraternity of the state.

Col. w. F. SLEMoNs, of Drew coun- ty, is candidate for congressman at large and has published card in his home paper, in which he makes use of the following positive Ian gusge, characteristic of the man;
 In response to repeated inquiries as to whether l will enter upon a general campaign, l must answer, no. The greatest question nov con fronting the people is "bread," and my judgment is they have neither time or inclination to encourage the wild hunt for office. < < am not of those who believe the office should chase a modest man down and drag him before the public; nor, do believe it proper that the office should be hunted down like fugi tive. have the most untaltering confidence in the judgment of the people and at their judgment will never complain.

A RELIGIOUS editor having asked the question, "What shall we do to entertain our girls?" the society ed. itor of the Fort Smith Herald pro cceds to give few pointers, as fol- lows:
 A man who needs advice as to how to entertain his girls is not fit to edit a religious newspaper. We suggest that he should take one of them out buggy riding in. the afternoon, tell her what daisy she is and how Tn sipid and fixed up that other girl is. Then he should take "that other girl' out for ice cream after supper and tell her coufidentially how very unintoresting and awkward the bug gy-rdlng girl IS. When the two girls meet the religious editor can depend on them entertaining each other without his personal assist ance.

Democrat will make no factious op- position to the will of the majority. But our skirls shall be clear of all responsibility in the matter.
 Tine foregoing should be the senti. ment of all democrats who are op- posed to the amendment, and not make it THE leading issue or test of party fealty. But while on this top. lc, we must say that we see no reason why there should be resuhmission of the question, as it was voted upon once and failed to receive the requi- site constitutional endorsement. IT however, the majority say 'try again then, like good democrats, the party in this section will try to defeat it.

IT GIVES us great pleasure to sec the cause of education on the "boom' lii our own good state, which has long been noted for almost every other advantage. It is fast adapt ing all the modern methods that have been tried with success in the older schools of our country. We look with profit oyer city superintendents' reports on the history and growth of systems as they arc developed in other states under careful, lntelli- gent, scholarly, supervision; but we must confess that it brings q blush as we read the literary curiosity call. ed the Report of the Little Rock Public schools" by Superintendent Fish. II it has any value it is as a text book, the title of which should be: "True and Original Examples ol False Syntax" The able teachers of Little Rock-and it has many such-cannot take it as much of a compliment 10 their intelligence to be directed in their class work by the Superintendent. That thing ney. CT should have passed "the first read ing" before the board. Arkansas has enough to carry without that load.

HON. J, H. ROGERS.

There is no gentleman in the state who stands higher in the estimation of his aeighbors, friends and ac- quaintances than does Hon. John II. Rogers, of Sebastian county. By reference to the new announcements in to days paper, it will be seen that Judge Rogers is candidate for con gress in this district. Brilliant in intellect, learned in literature and law, and pure and clean in his pub lie and private character, Judge Rog CTS, if nominated and elected, would make a representative of which any people might well be proud. If the people desire change, there is no gentleman in the district who will suit them better than the one above mentioned.

Mir. J. James Imitators

The telegraph has announced the fact that the eastbound passenger train on the Atchison and Sante Fe road ditched on the night of the 10th near Rincon, N NJ. Five heavily armed men attempted to rob the eX- press car, but got into the bagoaoe instead of the express car. Before they could rectify the mistake the train men and passengers appeared in such numbers that the robbers lied. The engine, baggage and ex. press cars were thrown from the track, the fireman killed, and the en. giueer and Wells, Fargo 6 Co.'S messenger badly wounded. The ex- press car was supposed to contain S2OO,OO0 in silver from the Arizona mills bound for New York.

HoM. W. w. SMITH, of Helena, has recently been sorely bereaved by the death of his oldest daughter, Miss Julia, aged fifteen. If was the good fortune of the editor of this paper to have personal acquaintance with the deceased, in her lifetime, and he can truly say that sine was one of the loveliest of the fair ones. Mod est, retiring, intellectually bright, Miss Julia bid fair to ripen into pure, lovely, true womanhood, but the Great Ruler of the Universe decreed otherwise and called her home. The DEMOCRAT sends much symyathy to the afflicted family.

A DEAD MANS
HONOR~.

/ In many respects 1t Is very peculiar
case that is now engaging the attention
OF the house of representatives Mr..
Mackey, the South Carolina republican,
/ appears AS claimant for seat that was
occupied by man who is dead. He
does not consider, in his plea, the man
who is now occupying the seat In 1880
Mackey, republican, and O'Connor,
/ democrat, were the candidates for con-
gress Ia the second South Carolina dis
trict OGonnor was elected, or at all
events he received the certificate Of the
Governor Of South Carolina to
that effect and we expect he de-
served it But Mr.. Mackey claimed
that he was elected; that fraud had been
practlced, tissue ballots" etc. that he
ought to have the seat, and thereupon
he served notice of contest. This was
very early in 1881. Before O'Oonnor
had an opportunity to take his seat he
died and there was no member from the
second district. But the Governor OF
South Carolina ordered a special cleo
ton to ill the vacancy and Dibble ap-
veared as the democratic candidate
The republicans claimed there was no
vacancy; hat Mackey had been elected
to seat IN the forty-seventh congress,
IN the November previous, whn running
against O'Connor,and they declined to go
to the polls, rather preferring to abide the
contest instituted by Mackey against the
now dead O'Conuuor As result Dib-
bic received over 1000 democratic
votes, against some 300 that were cast
for Mackey by republicans who persist
ed in voting despite the instructions of
leaders. The Governor gave Dibble
certificate, he went TO Washington and
was seated, the republicans remarling
they would attend TO his case by and by. |
1t is Dibble'sstitle as O'Connor's success
sor-the election OF November, 1850
that Mackey is contesting, and |
not the special one at which |
Dibble was chosen. The committee .
on elections las reported in favor
Of unseating Dibble; not that he
didn't get majority of the votes cast
at the special election, but that Mackey |
was fairly elected III 1850. Thus the
matter stands ANA the house is now in a
bitter fight over it, the democrats seem
ing determined 10 resort to every device
known to parlian entary law to prevent
the republicans getting a quorum and
haying vote, when, Of course, Dibble
would be ousted as summarily as
Chalmers was. How earnest the strug-
gle is may be inferred from reading the
and there Is no telling how
long the democrats may prevent it. In
Chalmers case they used no such tao
les, but they appear TO regard Dibble's
lain as jus; one.

st. Joseph (AIo.) Letter to Philadelphia Times
Since the murder of Jesse the little
home Of the James family has been an OBJ
ject of great curiosity, and, 60 there when
you will, you are sure to find a group of
strangers inspecting it with an interest
that carries them into every nook and cor
ner of the house on the hill" as it Is gen.
orally called. Relic-hunters have been
busy. and have actually carried their dep
relations so far as TO remove much of the
flooring of the room in which the murder
occurred, while the shutters are whitfield
and the stone steps hacked in many places
tor souvenirs of the spot. The wcman
who owns the building has become indlg-
nant at these injuries and has brought suit
against the st. Joseph authorities to re-
cover damages. A few days ago the
house was given without rent 10 a re-
spectacle German family, who had vclun-
teered to occupy ii until the place shall
have lest its Objectionable nOtoriety.
Duing the first night OF their posses-
aiOn the family declare that a body of
armed men made their appearance in the
yard, and. summoning them to the win
dow, threatened that unless they prOmIsr d
to vacate the premises the next morning
the building would be burned over their
heads. They did not hesitate moment,
but LETT at once, and since then the house
has been empty-a prey to the curious
and destructive.
