Editor Democrat:
Yesterday was good Friday, but
the day did not sustain the name,
nd to-day is still very disagreeable
and fear the fruit will be killed as
the trees are in full bloom.
The wheat looks gloomy, Marcl
has been so dry, 1t seems to stand
still and not grow. A great many
have planted corn, but the prospect
is good for them to plant over. The
weather is as uncertain as the effect
of the recent tariff bill passed by
congress ON taxation. The most ex-
pert cannot determine whether it in.
crcases or decreases taxes. i am in.
clined to Senators Beck and Vance's
we % Tat it will largely increase
the burden of taxation. The only
redeeming feature of the bill is al
lowing farmers to sell one hundred
dollars worth of tobacco to consum-
ers. | was forcib.y struck with re
mark of Senator Vance, in one OF
his speeches urging reduction OF
the duty ON certain articles. "That
in the south our paupcrs had to go to
the poor house and eat such fare as
the county furnished, but in the
north they live in palaces, and were
supported by the government in re-
gal msgnificence," and the worst is,
it is too true. Their hired emmissa-
res enter the halls of congress, A
buttonhole senators aud representa-
tiyes, and dictate to them what they
want, and that they cannot permit
any reduction on certain articles,
and If their views are not carried
out, their influence is used against
them in the next election. What a
sad state of affairs for n republican
government.
AS this state of things is largely
due to the party in power: may We
not hope that when the democrats
come in power in 1884, that there
will be great change for the better
and that purity and honesty may
exist in all departments of the gov
eminent VALLEY.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT:

EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
In your Issue of the 18th inst
you have an article sharply condemn
ing our Legislature in general. and
our representative in particular.
You say the men who compose the
general assembly are "distressingly
behind the spirit of the age-who
cannot see three inches into the fu-
ture" DC, DC. In the first place 1t
occurs to us that the men who con
stitute that assembly are the ones
the people elected and sent there.
Their exceeding dullness and their
opposition to tho interests of the
state should have been, it seems to
US, pointed out in time to save us
from their possible law-making.
AS t. CIR own representative, he
plainly stated his intended
course in public speaking and pri-
vate conversation, did it repeatedly
and it that course was so objection
able to the r,asses, Why was ne elect
ed?
He said Everywhere he was in ia
vor Of equal t..xat of temperance
: s anI oppo' appropriating
Tate S rue benefit favor
a few, lea ine the rest Of tho tax
payers out in the cola. The Fayette
vile University benefits but few,
comparatively, of the people. While
it is nominally state school, to
educate those who are too poor to pay
their way, more money is required
to keep student there than one in
comfortable circumstances can afford.
Why not divide the money and help
all the schools. No one who knows
Hon. N. w. Kuhn can say he has
not the interests Of the state at
heart. As to educational interests,
he has done as much in that direc-
tion as any man you can mention,
both with his time and money.
In regard TO immigration, Mr..
Kuhn's constituents generally, we
are sure, will bear han out. People
who haye not enterprise enough to
move, and wisdom enough to move
to this ''illiterate state" and have to
be hired to come, will have to be
supported when they get here. We
have enough to do to support these
who are here. We are not opposed
to immigration, are glad to welcome
every honest, upright, .enterprising
man and woman. Such class does
not need any hiring. An opposite
class we do not want. You term the
pledges of our representative silly,
and say lie should not have made
them Had he not told us what
course he should pursue, how would
we have known whether to vote for
him or not?
So far, he has done, we believe,
conscientlously and truly just as he
told us he would, and while some
manufacturers, capitalists, and some
editors do not endorse his record, we
are sure the majority of his constitu.
ents will. You make sweeping
charge on Hon. Mr.. Kuhn; 1t Is but
Just the other side should be heard.

Sheriff Saddler, of Franklin ceun-
ty, is making it warm for parties
who sell whisky contrary to law.
S. t. Kelly, who killed William
Birnie in Scott county a few days
ago, has been pronounced insane by
a jury and sentenced to the insane
esvlum. Kelly is / old citizen OF
OF Scott county, and is said TO have
killed several men during his life.
Brine was riding by Kelly's gin,
when the latter hailed him, and upon
his refusal to stop, picked up rifle
and shot him from his horse at a dis
lance of sixty yards.
David Reese and James Satter-
field, charged with the murder OF
Tim Thomas, in Scott county, some
time ago, were acquitted in the Cir
cult court at Waldron during the
recent term.
Upwards of 10000 bales of cotton
have been received at Little Rock
this season.
OF the three youths who robbed
the Iron Mountain train near Hope
last spring and were sentenced to
the penitentiary for term OF years,
only one is alive, and he is at large.
One died shortly after they were in
carcerated, and the other two es-
capped from the guards at Helena a
few days ago, one Of the two latter
being killed by parties capturing
| them.

management of lev. Buchanan, has

Il. e. gagged ,aking up their

aration to live another year. Cave
is surely good place, as scarcely
any one that comes here leaves. We
have fine bottoms here that produce
well, and good bench land that brings
fine corn. On the mountains the
best of range for cattle and hogs.
We have been creditably informed
that "beat" from the mountains went
down on the Arkansas river, in Hol-
ly Bend, passing himself off as a
young man, and that he had a fine
lot of fat hogs up in the mountains
and money, and came very near get
ting away with a girl. Tha. is right
girls, wait till the fat hogs come.
There Is plenty Of Fat hogs up in the
Boston mountains, bnt that man did
not own hog, but will tell you
what he did own, wife and baby.
There is ''dead beat up in the
mountains looking out for loca-
ton, claiming to be mechanic; has
everything in the way of wealth, is
without wife and that seems to be
all the trouble he has at heart or
mind. Look out girls in the noun
tains and valley of Cave.
Z. L. Hale Of Cave will soon have
his house ready to move in: he only
has his good old mother and darling
little girl to take In it. Wonder if
he can't get some one Of ouc fair
ladies of Cave to take life lease in
the house with him. HOPE.
