Mr.. CHAs. KNoBLE, in retiring
from the Charleston indicator,
makes one declaration that will do
for text, and we propose to make
it take that position right now, and
here. The declaration is this: "Few
things contribute so much to growth,
development, and enlightenment of a
community as well conducted jour-
nal, up with the times, and ready to
do battle for the country's good"
In so far as an ordinary declaration
can resemble divine truth, in so far
does this resemble scriptural accura-
cy, and, upon this, hinges the obli-
CATION of a community to foster and
maintain an honest and upright jour
nal, and such a journal has the DEM
ocRAT always been. 1t has always
been in the hands Of christian men
and solid business citizens, whose
dearest interests were bound up
with the community in which it lives
and labors. Its voice has always
been heard in favor of every hon
orable enterprise---in favor of every
thing that tends to emulate and
build up, and especially upon the
great question o. migration. Re
Gently our eye fell upon an old issue
of the paper, dated Sept. %, 1876,
when j. f. Battenfeld was at the
helm, and the first thing that met
us, was an article headed "Do you
seek a new home" In that article
Jimmie's pen waxed eloquent, and
he said, Labor is In demand, and a
thousand hands can get employ
ment any day in our cotton fields at
fair wages. Let the laborers come
on, and let capital come too To
what an extent has the writer Of
these lines seen them fulfilled since
he penned them away back in rs.
We bring these matters up to show
what powerful agent for good in
promoting the solid interests of any
community, a sound, live newspa-
per is, such as. the DEMOCRAT. If
this be true, we claim that as one of
the noble institutions of the coun
try, we are entitled to the patronage
of our people, and especially our
business men, and they should not
be Indifferent as to it's welfare.

ooRAr we think it nothing but just
and courteous to all parties concern
ed that we refer to the attitude in
which the paper was placed by its
former editor toward our worthy
representative, Hon. N. w. Kuhn.
We wish to state that the utterances
of the DEMOCRAT at that time in its
criticisms upon our representative,
were simply the sentiments of the

On account of the great impor-
lance of the subject to our growing
state, we devote a considerable por-
ton Of our space on the first page to
the review of the cattle business by
that live journal--the Gazette We
call special attention to and CON-
mend every word in the article refer
ed to-. to our reader, and especially
to our farmer friends. The cattle
business, as it has been conducted
in our midst for the last few years,
should be stopped at once, and our
people should know that nothing is
moce evident than that, if anybody
can afford to buy cattle for profit
they certainly can afford to keep
them for that profit This thing of
Arkansas cattle contributing to the
wealth Of Texas and Kansas certain
ly ought to be arrested by the good
sense of our agricultural friends, and
II there is any profit in raising cat
tie, as there is, as shown by the mag
nificent cattle herds of the states
mention above, why then Arkansas
should enjoy those profits and not
her neighbors. Keep your cows and
calves and don't be tempted to sell
them even for the fancy prices offer
ed sometimes, and in the long run
you will find that you have acted
wisely.

CEIME.

Noticing in an exchange men
ton of Chicagos alarm at the ire
mendous wave of crime that has been
passing over that great city, awak-
ems within our cogitating realm, q
thought of great proportions. Does
not the rapid rate of living in this
country encourage and increase
crime? What we mean by the rapid
rate of living is not simply the rap
id or slow manner of conveying food
to the mouth, and not merely what
we eat, but the extravagant lavish
ness of the leaders of society and
government. In Washington city,
men of aflluence and influence adopt,
perhaps through rivalry, an extrava
CANT mode of living and by cum
ming ostentation, challenge the world
to out-shine them. Those who are
able, accept the challenge, and in,
crease the volume Of extravaganza.
Their children are brought up in a
state of barbarous luxury, utterly
dependent upon their parents for q
support. The parents have not
$4,000 each to distribute among
them; no! many of them have abso-
lutely nothing to give their children,
and the poor helpless children must
be cast out in the world penniless.
They do not know how to make a
living, know nothing except extrav-
agance. The young ladie'a are kept
up by their parents, and the young
men in their vain endeavors to keep
pace with them fall into crime and
degradation. Everyone knows the
tendency of crime-accelerate and
accumulate as it goes. Chicago has
many such young men within her
borders. Another great stimulant
to dishonesty and a disregard for
the morals of the country, is the
sophistry Of Che modest press. Edi-
tors, many Of them, have Il peculiar
way of noting moral evils, that fire.
quently lead one to conclude that
their little innocent comments are
the most rigid criticisms. The press
criticises everything where it is
thought TO be popular and fatters
everything where it is thought to be
popular. Criticism is admissible in
the columns of any paper, but it
must be dignified and high toned
manly. When the press insinuat-
ingly critisises the morals of com
munity, and that in such way that
it cannot be determined whether it
is criticising or conniving, it lowers
the standard of morals in the minds
Of some. This is the beginning Of
crime in the course Of some one. The
press ought to condemn every evil,
and maintain the highest regard for
honesty aud justice. Then crime
would decrease. NJ.

US much pleasure TO note the inn
provement in this periodical since it
came into the hands Of the present
publishers. and especially to note
the continued Improvement, for each
number really seems 10 surpass the
others.
Ut is creditable to our Southern
farmers that they are sustaining
their journal (for il is emphatically
theirs) 50 handsomely. And they
will doubtless fird that the more lib
eral they are in their patronage the
the more regularly the paper will
deserve support.
This number has an interesting
contribution on the life ard death OF
John Howard Payne, author OF
Home, Sweet Home, accompanied by
his portrait.
One of the most interesting artic-
les Of this number is a comparative
statement Of the cotton crop for the
past thirteen years, showing the
amou { of money received for it and
what ecame of it.
The e are several pages Of the

Ap0ut the Assessment.

Under the new law the county
board Of equalization must finish its
labors by the first Monday in july,
at which time the county court viii
meet to levy the tax. In order TO
do this the assessment, as eqnalizec,
Of all the property of the county,
will be necessary and this IS the
view generally held, but the assessor
Of Pope county will not complete his
assessment according to his pub
lished notice. unsil July 4th, after
the time for levying tax. Whether
he is going it blind OF whether he
has consulted an attorney who has
showed him how he can save asl the
fees by doing all the work himself,
is question. To say the very least
of it, he is acting different from
every other assessor we have heard
from, all of whom consider that their
work must be completed by the 18th
of June and the books turned over
to the clerk.
We call the especial attention OF
our assessor to the above which
we clip from the Dardanelle Post.
We have examined the law in regard
to the assessors duties, aid it does
appear to us that our assessor is
going it blind. There is now but
little time for him to act, but it
strikes us that his best course is to
Immediately put sufficient number
of deputies in The field to complete
The assessment WITHIN the time al
lowed by law, if it can be done. But
it is extremely doubtful whether il
can be done or not as the time ex-
pirss the 10Th. We hope there may
be some means of relief for assessor
Robinson, il he has failed to observe
his duties in this matter, which now
looks to be The case, not willfully
however, but by failure to consult
the law, we suppose.
