OUR WEALTH.

Mining companies are being Or
gained in many places in the state.
We are glad that the subterranean
millions Of Arkansas have fair pros
pect Of being unearthel ana utilized.
Day BY day perhaps, rs we walk to
our dinner, or MS we walk for rccre-
alton admiring the beauties Of the
things around us, there are millions
of wealth under our feet awaiting
the pick Of the miner. The prodi
gality of nature in distributing her
wealth in the state Of Arkansas is
clearly manifest, and he who search
es wealth may find it by opening the
bosom of the earth. But there is a
feature about these mining compa-
MES that strikes us forcibly. So far
as we have been able TO learn ma
jority Of them, or almost all of them
are composed Of men who come here
from some other state. We have no
objections to men of means coming
into the state and forming corpora
tions and organizing companies for
the development of our vast resour-
ces, even though they are the bene.
ficiaries, but it is reflection on the
spirit of our own people. We wei
come strangers who come here for
such purposes, and earnestly desire
that they be handsomely remune-
rated for their industry and enter
prise. And we are glad to hold out
every inducement to encourage still
others to follow suit. 1t marks an
era in our history as an industrial
state--a productive state. 1t shows
that there are beds of incalculable
wealth beneath the surface of Ar.
kansas soil, and that this wealth is
available. The question then comes
up: Why do not our own people
form corporations and develop these
resources? 1t can be done as easily
by our own people as by those who
come here from other states, and il
will be- as profitable to them. Enter
prising men come to the STATE, pick
up fortunes from under our feet and
we go whining along, grumbling at
the hard times and the low price o.
cotton.

We know we have it, or we have it not''

The Tendency.
BY D. C.

In the years agone family who
bore the euphonious cognomen of
Inglewood came TO this country
from the state of Indiana and settled
here in this cotton growing region.
Their entire effects consisted of a
few household goods and about eigh-
hundred dollars in money. H.
stead Of at once buying a tract OF
land and beginning operations ON u
small scale, to advance step BY sLep.
and improve as circumstances would
justify, they, like hundreds of others
who go to a new country, decided To
rent the first year, so that opportun-
ity might be given to ''look around"
They wanted to look around aud

Of every commodity of the home in

Editor Democrats:

Editor Democrat:
Spring has at last come on the
valley OF Cave and is warming the
mother earth and her vegetables be.
gin to come forth and the farmers
are busily engaged planting corn.
The men and women are all engaged
in the work. We have two girls Here
that can pillow equal to any man, and
they are not widow woman's girls
and they are as good looking as Cave
affords.
Any one coming on Cave from a
country where they have always
been used to music, will not be lost
when they get here, as most all Of
our girls can attract your ear in the
way of music. One is so well versed
that she can play great number of
very fine pieces on pot rack. And
she can charm any young man with
an accordion, though he may se
passing by.
Editor, you have correspondents
that are making great efforts to
climb the 3litical ladder, and as |
do not wish to say anything up
there, but only wish, in the language
OF Cave, to say something for our
girls ana boys. We do not want to
say anything that viii cause any
dead heads to come here thinking
they can get away with our girls,
for we will keep them posted, and
if any one wishes to come here to
get good wife we have them here
but remember you must have good
recommendation from Mr.. Jones or
some other good man. l do MOI
wish to boast of the people Of Cave
being ahead of the people elsewhere
but wish to just let the readers of
the DEMOCRAT know that we are up
with other places in some things,
and still IN good hopes that we may
advance in all things that may pro-
mote the good and happiness of the
people of Cave. HOPE.

ON THE BEAT.

Every day we have unmistakable
evidences that great many people
are on the "dead beat Some men
seem to think 1t sort of religious
duty, and a practical exemplifica-
tion of the golden rule, to cheat and
swindle every merchant, railroad
man, politician, editor, and, in fact
every public man in the country.
A certain class of people imagine
that merchants, railroad men and
public men generally hold themselves
in estimation above those who are
otherwise engaged, an6 that mer-
chant or lawyer thinks himself
above a common farmer, and all
such nonsense. And on account of
these things, which are conjectured
by the fanciful flights of a perverted
imagination, they want to swindle
every one of them, and when they
think they have succeeded in "beat-
ing merchant out of few cents,
they chuckle in their sleeve about it.
These things are wrong in every
sense and God will hold those who
practice them to strict account in
the great day of assize. No man es-
teens himself better than other men
because he has been fortunate and
successful in accumulating this
worlds goods, or because he holds
position, or because he has succeed
ed in acquiring an education. Ed
ucatiOn and position do not give a
man the big head" they do not
make him vain, they do not make
him feel that he is above his fellows.
If the papers AMI leading people
influential men would cease 10 in
still these things into the minds and
hearts of the young, things would
change for the better. There is
nothing more disgusting than to
hear men, so fauntingly, teaching
that those in position, and those of
means, are held in their estimation
above their fellows, who live and
move in the humber spheres os life.
No honest merchant wants to beat
any one, no honest lawyer wants to
beat any one; no honest officer wants
20 beat any one; and no honest
farmer wants to beat any one. Hon
esty is the only true policy, and hon
esty will carry you through ifyou
will just stick to il.

EQUALITY.

When the trainers of the Declare,
ton OF Independence gave utterance
to that sublime truth "that all men
are created equal,' and when they
wrote as peroration, "and for the
support Of this declaration, with 3
firm reliance on the protection Of
Divine Providence, we mutually
pledge to each other our lives, oul
fortunes, and our sacred honor" they
felt pcrmeating their very souls the
force of inalienable equality. There
is an equalizing elcment--an equal
izing force pervading all nature, and
all departments of nature, and that
elementary principle of force Is es-
sential to the perfect development OF
nature. The tree must have starch.
carbon, oxygen, and other sub
stances, to make a healthy tree, and
still more, it must have warmth, sun
shine and rain. All men are created
equal with respect to their indiyid-
ual rights, and in their governmental
relations, and this equality must be
pre- served inviolate if the government
remains pure, and its functions are
equitably exercised. Those who
formulated the Declaration of hide
pondence realized in very profound
sense the force of this doctrine. This
was the doctrine Of Lycurgus, and
in order 20 make the people feel its
force, he equalized the possession Of
property, and the result was the
grande35 government in the world
Solon taught and inculcatcd the
same principles. Our fathers fred
up with the same grand and pure
principles, formulated and declared
them as the fundamental principles
of our government After these SEN
timents were stamped upon the
hearts OF the American people as
they passed through the ordeal Of
the revolutionary struggle, they en-
joyed for while the most glorious
government the sun ever smiled
upon. Feeling that they were all
equal they did not all seek Office.

OF the country. To hold Office was

rapidly and the first time since |
have been in the county, 10 years,
the iuries were discharged the first

effects of stopping the sale Of whis-
ky, and carrying pistols, no murder
cases on the docket. If that much
good can be accomplished in so short
time, what may we not expect in
the future. In short time we will
have but little use for jails, and then
probably the millennium will begin
to dawn. p.

action of Representative Kuhn and

think Justice IN his attempt to de-
iend him, is sadly mistaken when
he says he will he sustained by his
constituents. 1t is well for the state
of Ark, that there were not enough
of Kuhn's and others to defeat such
appropriations, and that the Uniyer-
sity will still continue to prosper
and those who graduate will return
TO their homes, and impart to others
the education acquired there, and
thus it's good effects will be felt

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

A bill has passed both honses of
The Tennessee Legislature prohibit
ing the manufacture or use Of snuff
within four miles of any institution
for the education OF females. Hurrah
for Tennessee.
Herr Most has gone to st. Louis,
to discuss the labor question. His
lectures that are claimed to be on the
labor question, are on anything else,
and are calculated to engender dis
satisfaction and strife. BY his course
in America he has rendered himself
very obnoxious.
The Irish troubles increase and
official life in England is perilous.
They now have assassination socie-
ties that are doing bloody work.
Every fellow who is guilty of strange
conduct, if he has a can is arrested
for carrying dynamite.
The Missouri Legislature during
its recent session passed 100 bills.
The Legislature in the main, was
composed of working men, and they
lost no time in pushing forth the in
terests of the country. There was no
paper ball throwing, no white paper
pinned to coat-tails.
The Star Route trial still contin-
ues to be. 1t does not seem to be
progressing any, but simply existing
1t just suits Bob Ingcrsoll, for he can
BLACKBOARD as much as he pleases.
The lamented and ill-fated Jean
nette still excites the CURIOSITY of
explorers. The lost of the crew is
exciting many people to institute
means for continuation of the
search for their bodies. Their bodies
will be in the ice fields of the North
till the resurrection morn.
Since the adjournment of congress,
many of our papers are filled with
reports of the dead, who find death
in drunken rows and other debauch-
cry. 1t speaks bad for the country
and worse FOR the papers.
st, Louis has a bloody tragedy,
suicide, an elopement, and other SEN
sstions almost every week. The
high pressure of life in large cities
and the low state Of morals, are work
ing desperate things for the history
of this country.
A case of great inhumanity is re-
ported from n Massachusetts Aims
House. The Doctor in charge starv-
ell the patients to reduce their
strength. The Matron gave the
babies morphine to keep them quiet

Our circuit court at Dover, aside
from its chancery business, was in
session about five days. In the days
when tipping houses were kept in
all our towns, and when men could
get all the whisky they wanted with
out any fear of the law, circuit court
in this county continued its sessions
from three to five weeks. With all
these facts before us, men still per-
sist in saying that temperance laws
TO no good. The operation Of the
three mile law reduces crime, it de
creases the preparation OF dark
deeds; it prevents men making beasts
of themselves; it shortens the terms
of courts; it reduces the expenses OF
enforcing the laws Of the country;
and 1t encourages morality, ! o !esty
and upughtness. Somebody will
tell us ere q month has gone that
temperance laws are not conducive
of COOL results. Contrast the figures
and see.
