The Arkansawyer, more espe-
cially the persons who have re-
Gently located and gone to work
with energy and a determination
to succeed in building up homes
in this state, who is not satisfied
with his choice of location, has
most certainly been peculiarly
unfortunate in his particular Sc
lection of a place for a home, or
fastidious over such matters be-
yond the common run of the ge-
nus homo. To the energetic far
mer or fruit grower, there is no
state that offers more favorable
inducements. And doubtless all
such, who have within the past
few years located with US, are
grateful that their "lines have
fallen in such pleasant places"

THE VOICE OF THE WEST

The Presidential party has dis
appeared in the wilderness, not to
be heard Of again save at inter
walls. Along the route from Lou
lsville to Green River they have
been cordially welcomed by the
people; in the welcome there has
been a mixture Of patriotism, per
sonal curiosity, native chivalry,
and political admiration.
But it is curious that, while the
President was the chief man OF
the party, the name of Robert
Lincoln was heard more frequent
ly, and he was the chief object OF
attention, of curiosity and ofspec-
ulation.
This is highly significant. The
name of Lincoln is still a name to
conjure with, and there can be nc
doubt chat the present bearer OF
that name would make an avail
able candidate for the Presidency.
1t it possible that the curiosity
to see Robert Lincoln was promp-
ted by the natural desire to judge
whether he Looked like the right
sort of man to make President
out of?
When Andrew johnson went
"swinging around the circle" six
teen years ago, johnson, though
President, was not the most i'm
portant man in the party.
The one who was called for
most frequently was a man who
said little and who preferred to
keep in the background. His
name was Grant.
Is history repeating itself, and
is the second accidental President
carrying in his train the rival who
is destined to take the nomination
away from him. New York
World.
We were not aware Of boom
for Lincoln in the southwest. Sc
far we think Arthur's chances
are the best. We are all pleased
with his course, with the excep
ton of a few sore-headed Office
seekers. Robert Lincoln is {
good man, but we fear his chances
are slim for presidential candi
date in 1884.

We see by the Associated Press
dispatches of last week that out,
RACES upon colored people by Ku-
klux have been revived in the
south. Information from White
Banks, jackson and Hall coun~
ties, in the state of Georgia, give
minute details OF the atrocious
deeds of a band of white butch
ers. Cabe Bush was horribly la
cerated with the lash: Berry San
ders, Alex. Brooks and w: Glenn
were shot dead, and other color
ed men and women were whip
ped until the blood stood in pools
around their bodies. The color
ed people are fleeing for safety to
the towns and cities. The history
of Hayti shenld be placed in the
hands of these people. The hero.
ic negroes of that island resorted
to the torch and midnight attacks
and other modes of barbarous
warfare, when other modes failed
them. The negroes in the south
would be justifable in resorting
to like NODES Topeka (Kansas)

GOOD HOUSEWIVES.

1t is now the season of the year
when the turnips should be sown
and preparations made tor the
planting of the fall garden. Plant
radishes, peas, early bunch beans,
lettuce, beets, onions, ETC., at
once. See that your husbands,
or the big boys Of the family at
tend to this matter Immediately.
After this is done you and the
children or the cold auntic" can
manage the cultivation. A good
garden will furnish one half of
the cost of living for an ordinary
family, you will live better and be
healthier and happier meantime.

In Missouri the democratic legis-

at $1,000, and that party prides

YOUR BUCKEYE BOY,

Judge Foraker, the republican
nominee for governor of OHIO, was
born and reared on a farm in the
backwoods of Central Ohio. His
father is a farmer, and still at
ripe old age may be found any
day busily engaged about his
farm. The same may be said of
his aged mother, who with the as
sistance of a girl attends to all
the household duties including
the care of numerous chickens,
the milking Of several COWS and
the churning Of several pounds OF
butter daily.
Mrs Foraker recently informed
a reporter that during "Ben's"
i. e., the judges boyhood, once
upon time, Ben's panta-
looms gave out, and having noth-
ing better at hand, she clothed
his neither extremities in a pair
made of an old coffee sack. She
said Ben took in all very philoso-
phically, and went off to school
as usual without a murmur.
EYES," she continued, "there WAS
never a better boy to his mother
than Ben; he helped me around
the house as good as a girl. 1
taught Ben and all of my boys to
wash, iron, milk, cook, scrub and
spin, and Ben used to have the
geese and ducks to pick also"
This boy afterwards, became a
distinguished soldier for one so
young, then a judge, and next,we
are assured, governor of one of the
greatest states in the union. Here
is your model of a western boy.
1t is of such material your true
statesmen are composed.

A SORE PLACE.

The Democrat of this city re-
Gently, rather broadly intimated
that Gov Foster of Ohio, was
lackingin reputation for veracity.
The Democrats trouble is, that
the statement of Gov Foster that
IIoadley's nomination cost him
$50, 900, all of which he unques~
tionably substantiated from dem
ocratic sources, was a socdoliger
against Hoadly, and SO badly de-
moralized the wind of the demo-
cratic candidate, that he began to
blow before he passed the first
qu,rter pole in the race. Gov.
Foster is no political dude, he
is a. patriot and statesman, and
with all, one Of the brightest of
Ohio's GALAXY of public men of
both parties, whose regulations
are national.
The republicans of the old
Buckeye state rarel y make the
egregious mistake so characteris-
tic of the democracy, of placing
inferior or common place men in
public position, as a matter of ex
pediency. They rarely fall into
the error of nominating men be-
cause of their 'lncre,' as was done
in that state by the democracy in
the nomination Of Brookwalter
for governor two years ago and
Of Hoadly this year. Their nom
inees are representative men.
Men whose devotion to the
principles of true republicanism
are life long.

DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES.

Two important elections have
taken place lately, in both of
which the democracy have come
off more than victorious. We re-
fer to the elections held in Ken
lucky and Utah. In the former
the Bourbons carried the state by
a large majority as usual; in the
latter the Norman democrats
made clean sweep. We feel
like exclaiming in the language
of a western journal, "g!ory."
The first gun for 1884. Good for
the Bourbons and the saints. AL
ways true to the democratic party.

that the new colored cadet at v est
Point is treated by the other ca
diets with much consideration and

pated on account of his presence

pounds, is an able and expert

Is Your Blood Pure ?

Now, this is an important question, for
without pure and wholesome blood there can
be no perfect health, and without good health
life is mere burden and waste. For i'm
pure blood tho best medicine known is Sco-
Wills Sarsaparilla, or Blood and Liver Syrup ;
may be implicitly relied on when everything
else fails. Take it in the spring time especially,
for the impure secretions of the blood incident
to that season of the year, and take it at all
times for Cancer, Scrofula, Liver Complaints,
Weakness, Boils, Tumors, Swellings, Skin
Diseases, Malaria, and the thousand ills that
come from impure blood.
Talking about the liver, we presume that
i'll temper is more often caused by dsordered
liver than anything else. TO insure cheer
full disposition, take this well known medicine,
which will remove tho prime cause and re-
store the mind to its natural equilibrium.
