The Washington papers are vigor-
ously fighting Capitalization. They
think they see danger ahead. Cen
tralization is becoming leading
question, and will absorb the leading
minds of the age. Look into the
future and note the cause.
Fort Smith is debating the local
situation of her politics. Some
want convention, and some do not
want convention. The leaders
ought to lead, and those who are not
leaders ought to sit down. The
trouble is both ends~of the party
want to lead and of course one goes
the wrong way.
The great floods of this winter are
certainly attributable to meteoro-
logical influences. There never was
such a perihelia of planetary system
as during the current winter. That
must be the cause of such inexpli-
cable weather. We hope some OF
those planets will recede.
Smallpox is breaking anew in
many places in the United States.
1t is little strange that no one has
ever been able to discover and re-
move the cause Of this disease. 1t
is a bad disease and does bad work
wherever it prevails.

ments can be perfected The busi-
ness men Of the city are beginning
to subscribe literally.
Everything is going on in Cincin-
natl as smoothly and cheerfully as
if no water had been there during
the season. Those people do not
care much for trouble.
The Southern idea of a home is,
to say the least of it, queer. If you
want vivid description of 1t painted
on your imagination, just imagine a
good house with rail fence around
it, some old plows in the yard, a
clothes line stretched up somewhere
about the premises with some old
dirty clothes and rags hanging on
it, some old clothes hanging on the
plows that are lying about, and a
poor calf chewing the old clothes.
That is about the way many of them
fix it up, and then go around talking
about dear, good, beautiful home.
The people in this country do not
want to be comfortably and pleas
antly situated, and do not want to
make a living, but they simply want
to make cotton. Neglect everything
to make cotton and poney. Why
not try to make living and let
money making alone.
