FORT SMITH, ARK.
Better Crops Were Never Seen or
known in Arkansas Than the Pres
ent-POIiI1caI Affairs.

Special Correspondence of the Appeal
Fort SMITH, June 7.-ATkansas is proud
of her wheat crop and some of her state
house officials. The first wheat of this sea-
son was put on the market In St. Louis and
brought the price of "a so per bushel. Re-
cent reports show that Arkansas has had
legislative committee out for one year in
vestigating exchequer books. This report
has cost the taxpayers OF this State over
$4,000. When we remember the short crops
of last year and the destructive Hoods oil
this year, we are led to believe that our peo-
pie are b1rdened by nature and their own
government If it is to cost us $4,000 to
Investigate the accounts and books OF each
retiring State treasurer, it behooves us 10
dispense with this lucrative State official and
let good citizens retain their earnings. The
press and individuals have been censorious
in their comments on the long session OF the
committee. 1t is marvellous that the COM
mittee have been able to make their report
at SO early day. 1t doubtless was
laborious and embarrassing investigation.
They were forced to investigate the
auditors books to ascertain In what
amount the ex-treasurer was defaulter. The
committee rather deserve comnaendatIon
from our people. The report shows the ex-
treasurer is defaulter in the amount OF STA,
600. His bondsmen are easy, and say they
are willing TO pay the deficit, when deficit
is proved. How much will it cost the State
to proue a deficit? How much will it cost
the State to recover the proved deficit OF the
ex-tressurer's ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ones
lions for the consideration of the people out
of whose pockets this money has come. This
startling report and stupendous deficit has
alarmed our people and forced them to take
deal OF interest in State affairs. The Demo-
cratic party will, al this general election,
present for the suffrages OF the people OF
Arkansas the best ticket that has been held
out since the war. The ticket viii embrace
men who will, when elected, invite and Sc
cure investigation, serve the people as their
true servants, and cf whom the people will
be proud. The Hon. James ii. Berry, who
lost one leg in a grand and glorious
cause, and is willing to lose the other in the
service of right, will head the ticket as gov
ernor. Some opposition is shown to the can
didacy of Jacob Frolich, because
of his alleged. opposition to the
amendment, but he is a gentleman, an
efficient officer, an honest man, and sound
Democrat, and it is not likely that so good
man will be premsturely retired; II Is set
tied that he will be our next secretary Of

by the same opposition; but c. 3. Moore

IACI.
In his protest against the interference of
any European government with the protec-
ton accorded by the United States and the
South American States concerned, Mr.. Blaine
in his official capacity, short time ago
strongly reasserted the Monroe doctrine.
That doctrine is that no European power
shall establish itself on this continent The
English minister, Lord Granville, undertook
TO put the whole Monroe doctrine down,
certifying his position by sppeal to the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty. Secretary Freling-
huysen has replied TO Granville's position in
a way that shows the groundlessness of the
argument that official had advanced. Our
secretary shows that the treaty Granville
relies upon was made TO bind the two
governments, thirty syears ago, to a
definite line of conduct in view of a pos
sible contingency which has never arisen.
In the first place, Mr.. Frelinghuysen
shows that the Claytan-Bulwer treaty has no
longer authoritative force. That treaty bound
both powers to abstain from settling. coloniz-
Ing or foTtifying any part of Central Amer
lea. Since that engagement was made Great
Britain has spoken of British Honduras as
being cher majesty's settlement" and in 1859,
in treaty with Guatemala, that government
referred TO cher majesty's settlements and
possessions" in Honduras. These claims of
settlement and possession are proof of a vio-
lation of its treaty oblig cations ON the part OF
Great Britain, in consequence Of which the
treaty relied upon by Lord Granville is void
able at the pleasure of the United States.
Had the treaty conferred upon England any
right inconsistent with the Monroe doctrine.
that right it has forfeited by lis violation of
the obligations it incurred, and it has no claim
to any powers of protection over the proposed
Panama canal of DeLesseps in consequence
of anything that treaty contained. But the
Clayton-BulWer treaty never conferred the
right enormously claimed by the British
minister. Article VIII of that treaty states
"hereby agree to extend their protection by
treaty stipulation TO any other communication,
whether by canal or railway, which crosses
the isthmus connecting North and South
America, and especially TO the inter-oceanie
communications, should the same prove
practicable, either by canal or railway,
which are now proposed to be constructed by
way of Tehuantepec or Panama" Here is
no agreement to extend protection, but to
enter into treaty stipulation as to protect
ing communications across the isthmus,
should they prove practicable, such as the
Clayton-RElwer treaty established with re-
spect to the then proposed Nicaraguan canal.
No such "treaty stipulation" having been
made, our government retains its right of
Protectorate, in connection with the local
sovereign power, such as it has possessed
and exercised for thisty years over railway
traffic across the isthmus The projected
Nlcaraguan canal was not constructed, the
contemplated treaties have not been made,
and the Monroe doctrine remains unlimited by
any provision the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
Contains. Our protectorate lie especially
guaranteed by the treaty OF the United

Fourth Days Session of the Inferna-

ST. LOUIS, June s.-The fourth days ses-
sion of the International Typographical
Union began this morning. A telegram was
received from the secretary Of Columbia
Union, No. 101, Washington, stating that
Senator Plumb was fighting the union
through the United States Senate because
the union refused to allow one of his politi-
cal followers to walk in the government
printing-ofice because he was not printer,
and asking the convention to protest against
Senator Plumb's procedure. A resolution In
accordance with this telegram was intro
duced and adopted, and the secretary in
struc:ed to communicate with Senator Haw-
ley, of Connecticut. Various resolutions
were introduced, when an adjournment was
had until tomorrow.

QUINCY, ILL, June Sin the Congrega-

was held for the purpose of inst alling the
Rev. Fred A. Thayer, OF Westboro, Mass, as
pastor of the Congregational church here.
The Rev. Thayer presented his theological
views. The result was that they were 80 di-
vided on sustaining those views that the in
stallation did not occur. The point of differ
ence were regarding the inspiration of the
scriptures, the atonement and the state Of
man after death, On all of which he held
liberal or intellectual rather than scriptural
views. They agreed to call another larger

the front and save his con and his sons wing
Of the party from further laundering speeches
and acts. This IL almost absurd. Don cares
as little for Simon's wishes az for those of
the people. He has always been politically
independent of him since the old man trans
ferred to him the handle of the machine.
This is illustrated by a little tale current here
for some time, which has just been pub
lished. 1t runs thus: The convention tn at
nominated Hartrsnft fer the governorship
was Don Cameron's convention, and would
have nominated any man whom Don Cameron
might have named. Don named Hartranft,
who was easily nominated. Immediately
after the Republican leaders became doubtful
and dissatisfied, and a few of the chosen met
at the Girard House in Philadelphia for
the purpose Of taking Hartranft off the
ticket and putting another and more eminent
man in his place. Don Cameron heard OF
this meeting while in Harrisburg. He took
the next train for Philadelphia. Reaching
Philadelphia and going to thu Office OF the
hotel, he quietly asked in what room these
Republicans were assembled for consulta-
ton. He was told in No. AZ. Don cent up
no card, but went to the door of No. AZ, and,
scarcely knocking, went in. General Hart
ranft was at that moment on his feet endeav
oring TO explain that he thought he was
nominated al the request of the Republican
point of intim ating his willingness 10 retire
from the ticket if his nomination was not ac-
ceptable. There was then present Simon
Cameron, Don's father, land between this
father and this son all the affectionate
personal relations conceivable have al
ways existed, and still continue to exist
and Wayne MacVeagh, Don's brother-in-
law. Don Cameron appeared at the critical
time. He said substantially: Gentlemen, l
know what you are here for. 1 propose to
take the floor for three minutes without in
terruptIon, and TO leave it without reply.
Your purpose is to take this gentleman, Mr..
Hartranft, off the ticket and put some one
else on. / came here to tell you that, by the
Eternal, if you take him off and put this
gentleman on [peintiDg to his fatherl ] will
beat him. Ii you take Hartranft off and
put on my brother-in-law, by all the gods
will beat him. If you take Hartranft off
and put any other human being on, ] swear
that, so sure as the day of election comes,
the Democratic candidate shall be elected.
Keep Hartranft on the ticket, and i will
elect him. Gentlemen, good night. | shall

No New Developments In the Breekway
Case.

WASHINGTON, June s.-Treasury officials
state that the rumors that a large amount of
spurious bonds are in circulation is without
foundation; in the words OF Secretary Folger,
they are idle stories started BY sensational
gossippers. 1t is somewhat singular, to say
the least, that there should be several mill
lion spurious bonds in circulation without
the knowledge of the department. So far
not single one has been presented for re-
demption. The bonds recovered from Doyle
have been all satisfactorily accounted for.
There are no new developments 10 the case
