Fort Smith Herald Mr.. Fred.

while using a moulding saw at Rey-

Pinnacle Springs Ledger: Elder
W. j. Dodson has Just completed the

been neatly walled with stone.
Bob Beatty, of Mazzard Prairie,
Sebastian county, was riding home,
one day last week, when his horses
foot went through hole in a bridge;
and, in his exertions TO free himself,
the rider was thrown off, one of the
animals hoofs striking him on the
head and inflicting injuries from the
effects of which he died.
Fort Smith New Era: A little son
of Mr.. Ed Hunt met with a serious
accident one day last week, by which
he came near losing his right hand.
He was feeding hay cutter at the
time and allowed his hand to be
drawn too close to the knives, and
before the machine could be stopped
the knife had nearly severed three
fingers of the hand.
Ozark Democrat The colored vo-
ters of White Oak and Middle town
ships deserve special mention for the
noble stand they took against whis-
ky. Nearly all of them voted against
license. Thus they proved them
selves to be against immortality and
crime and for good society, peace
and happiness. We with pleasure
accord them great praise for their
conduct in this struggle against the
greatest curse that ever afflicted the
world.
Pinnacle Springs Ledger: There
is some talk of a large cotton mill
being built near the Pinnacle soon.
AT the point selected dam can be
built $50 yards long, that will give
25 feet headwater and furnish power
for vast establishment the entire
year The right to build can easily
be secured, and if the enterprise is
undertaken a branch road IRON
Plummerville can be built by way of
Springfield at nominal cost. If
this enterprise is pushed the success
of Pinnacle Springs is certainty.

The UBlOOdy Shirt

In the following article, the st.
Louis Post Dispatch handles the
Globe Democrats "outragc mill'' in
vigorous style:
The Globe. Democrats Arkansas
Outrage Mill is turning out very
poor and mouldy gnst this time.
The dispatches from various points
throughout the State report quiet
election with Republican gains, or
fusion gains, as compared with the
Republican vote of former years in a
great many counties. Republican
fusion tickets have carried some
counties that were formerly Demo
cratic by 800 majority. From Hele-
na only does our contemporary get
its sensational stories. That is no
toriously the locality of a chronic
faction fight among the Republicans.
Their majority was so large that
they could not keep peace in their
own poor household, and all accounts
of their proceedings with reference to
the Helena election smacks strongly
of prearranged plan to cover their
inability TO unite on local ticket
by claiming "foul," and to fuse
their party dissensions in BULLDOG
ing excitement, if possible, for fa-
ture effect. Thither Globe Demo.
crat correspondent was sent to work
up the cut-and dried materials, and
he has evidently worked hard, but
with poor results. He does not make
out as bad case against the Helena
Democrats in an election as Globe
Democrat reporters usually make
ont against Filley Republicans in a
St. Louis primary. He says that
drunken town loafers accused him OF
being there on purpose to misrepre
sent tue facts and SANDER the people
that they asked him TO give them O
list of the local witnesses from whom
he got his information and by whom
he expected to prove the stories he
was sending; that they told him he
had better skip; but that the City

history of the State, and the Repub
licans carried everything before
them. We have no sympathy for
bulldozers in politics, no matter
what party they belong to. The
men who violate the sanctity of the
ballot in any form are scoundrels
who deserve the severest punishment.
But we think we can see into this
Arkansas business. A United States
Senator is to be chosen there this
winter. The Republicans are sit
ting on very narrow ledge in the
Senate. Their power depends on
Malone, and they are in need of re-
Inducements. There is a plot, we
verify believe, to kick up a bobbery
in Arkansas, have the Republican
Senate investigate and declare that
Arkansas is lacking in the matter of
a republican form of government,
and thus cheat the Democrats out
of their Senator. The outrage mill
is grinding with too much vehemence
all at once.
The foregoing is from that ster-
ling, outspoken democratic journal,
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and in
dicates the animus of the republican
party in regard to the election in
this State. For this portion of Ar
kansas, the DEMOCRAT can speak ad-
visedly, and can say, without fear of
successful contradiction, that fair
er election than that of the 4th was
never held. We have yet to hear of
single instance, in Western Arkan-
sas where voter was prevented
from casting a ballot for his choice,
and, after it was cast, where it was
not counted. Senator Garland will
be his own successor.

Pulaski County.

The Gazette of the 18th comments
as follows on the result of the count
of the ballots cast at the recent cleo
tion in that county:
The board of canvassers complet-
ed their review of the returns of the
Pulaski county election yesterday.
Two reports will be made. The re
port of the two magistrates will not
contain the sixth ward and the dis
puted townships. From the report of
the county clerk will be omitted one
township. The vote accord
ing to the majority report will elect
the Peoples ticket, while that of the
county clerk elects the republican
ticket. These reports will be filed
with the secretary of state, and be
sent to the governor, whose duty it
is to issue commissions to the par
ties entitled thereto, in his judg-
ment. Upon his action will depend
whether the republican or the peo-
ple's candidates contest in the
courts. 1t seems almost certain
that the "outs," no matter what their
political complexion, will legally
fight the sins" for possession, and
the lawyers engaged in the causes
will be able to take pleasure trip
to the springs next summer.

FLORA'S FESTIVAL.

BY far the best musical entertainment
given in Russeellville this year was the
rendition of the above mentioned beauti-
full cantata last Tuesday night, at Mason
ic Hall, under the sole control and direc-
ton of Prof Ben. Deacon, perfect
master of the art of singing and a gentle
man who has no superior in these parts
as manager of children. In fact, we
doubt whether better programme, or
one more correctly rendered was ever
presented to Russellville audience, and
it was the unanimous verdict of those
present that the progress made by the
pupils of Prof. Deacon was something
truly wonderful The cantata is made up
Of choice gems Of song from the most fa-
nous operas and compositions by such
world-renowned authors MS Meyerbeer,
Mendelssohn, Rossini, Beethoven, Abt,
and others of no less repute. The music
is grand and extremely difficult to rem
der. 1t is not "baby music as SO many
imagine, but such AS would severely test
the powers of adults TO render in as
equally meritorious a manner, as was
done by the children Tuesday night
Those who stayed away missed All enter

what remains fact in spite of all

opinion may be as to woman's place

the foundations of years of foulness
and outrage and wrong. If it has

The early stages of reform are nee

The Great MOnOpoIies.

Geo. w. Peck, editor of the Mil.
waukee (Wls.) Sun, sounds the key
note in the following humorous
word picture of the "Anti- Monopoly
League"
There is an association of old fos
sils at New York calling themselves
the "Anti- Monopoly League" that
has taken the job on their hands of
saving the country from eternal and
everlasting ruin at the hands of the
gigantic monopolies, the railroads,
and this league, through it's presi-
dent, l.. f. Chittendon, is sending
editorials and extracts from speech
es delivered by great men who have
been refused passes, or who have
not been retained by railroads to
conduct law suits as much as they
think they ought to be, to newspa-
pers all over the country requesting
their publication.
The Sun gets its share of these
public documents each week, which
go into the waste basket with reg
ularity that is truly remarkable, con-
sidering that we are not railroad
monopoly. But there is something
so ridiculous about these articles
that one cannot help laughing
They claim that the country is in
the grasp Of the gigantic monopolies,
and that they will choke the country
to death and ruin everything, though
what the object can be in running
the country and everybody in it, is
not stated.
The monopolies have taken the
country, when it was as weak as
Cruel, and hoisted it by the slack OF
the pants to the leading position
among nations. The monopolies
have built their track all over God s
creation, where land could not be
given away, have hauled immigrants
out there and set them up in bust.
ness, and made the waste land OF the
government valuable. They have
made transportation so cheap that
the emigrant from Germany OF last
Ntol ttn SCIiN nbCdb iiOih 0dhoisl "
the Fatherland, and Bismarck and
King William can get it cheaper
than they can wheat grown within 6
mile of their castles.
These monopolies that the played
out nine-spot anti monopoly leagues
are bowling against have made the
country what it is, and If there i;
anybody in this country that dom
like it, they can get emigrant tick
cts and go to Germany or Norway
and take the places of the men tina
the monopolies are causing to settl,
here. OF course, we could all rur
railroads better than the owners rur
them, but as long as we have no
got money enough to buy them WI
had better shut up our yawp and lie
Jay Gould and his fellows do wha
they please with their own, as Ion,
as they permit the country to pros
per as it is now prospering. Th'
anti-monopoly leaguers had better g
to driving street cars.

THE New Orleans Times Democrat
has the following in reference to the
result of the recent election in this
State:
1t can scarcely be said that there
is anything significant in this cleo
ton, as no one doubted for second
Democratic success in Arkansas. 1t
only shows that the South is as SOL
i'd as ever, and assures us of the cleo
tion of five good Democratic Con
gressmen from that State in Novem-
Der. Some interest will be felt in
the constitution of the Legislature,
since Mr.. Garland's reelection to
the United States Senate depends
on it.
