in the approaching cOntest-as there
would have been had the Era's original
plan prevailed. If cheek were trump in
the present local political game the Re-
former would win every trick, sure.
TIE news of Ettla's withdrawal was
little slow in reaching the Ner Era
office. But it made about as good time
as the intelligence of Beyer's withdrawal
on it's way to the Examiner.
STEuMAN, Longenecker and Fry are,
each, expecting Sensenig to support
them and each expects him to cheat
one or both Of the other two. Sensenis
is versatile genius.
ARTHUR will exert his good offices with
Russia in behalf Of the persccuted Jews.
The following dispatch to the Eranttaer
is invalid-nO consideration being named :
thereby withdraw my name as Il can
didate for state senator.
GEO. ii. ETTLA.
TIE Examiner is troubled over the in-
creasinc decentralization of tho Arkansas
Democracy. Considering the state of its
own household, this is very ncighborly ON
tic part of the Examiner.
THE Press complains that Democrats
in the Senate are molly standing by the
machine nominations" And where would
Garfield have been had the Democrats in
the Senate not stood nobly by his machine
nomination of Collector Robertson?
IL is very easy to catch the little trouts
at least much easier than to hook the
older and more experienced fellows. But
bear in mind that it is contrary to the

five inch in length, measured by Buck
Lcibiy's standard.
THE New York Tribune is reported to
have made $50. GOO last year, much of it
out of its building the Graphic pays and
the Eccning Post under its new manage.
ment is paying twelve per cent on about
a $1,000, 600 valuation. Its circulation,
however, is only about 20, 900.
TIE editor of the Examiner wants to
! know if he has Thugs in his "midst. .
We wouldn't be at all surprised. Ills
contortions plainly indicate that there is
something in his ''midst." Should kauff
man and Landis both be renominatcd the
purgative will be SO drastic as to leave
no doubt regarding the matter about
which he SO piteously inquiries.
MAJOR p. r. FREAs would like to see the
gay and independent dahlia recover its
lost popularity. He advises growers tt
take off all the sprouts but ono, and to Sci
out the roots on the same day rs the lima
beans are planted. Has Oscar Wildo's
attention ever been properly called 30 the

chance.

among Tennysonian readers as to who Wa
referred to in this first stanZa of sc In Me

To one clear harp in divers tones,
That men may rise on stepping stones,
or their dead selves 10 nObler things.
If Longfellow is referred to, as many sup
pose, it is at least not his " Saint Angus
tine in which he 50 sings, as has been
suggested, since Tennyson's poem was
published eight years before this produc
tion Of our sweet singer.
The World thinks it curious that 10
one reader out Of thousand notes th'
blunder in "Thc Wreck Of tho Hesperus'
concerning the old sailor who chad sailee
the Spanish main." 1t might as we'll have
been said that the old sailor had saile(
Long Island or the peninsula Of Florida
since the "Spanish main was not water
but land. According to some, the deriva.
