steamed in, and if he should not
happen to come in on his regular
train Jim would trot off home
and wait till the regular time
next morning, when he would
again be on hand to see his mas
ter. Jim was very fastidious in
tastes. He liked good things and
never would touch anything in
the way of menu that was not
fully up to the standard. Being a
little suspicious of strangers he
never dined away from home, and
never was known to drink out Of
anything than his own silver cup.
In his last illness Jim exhibited
much fortitude in his sufferings.
Two physicians were in attend
ance, but all efforts to relieve him
failed and he died in great agony
after four days sickness. During
his life Jim was respected by all
and admired by many. lie was

cipal of a public school and was

A FAITHFUL CANINE.
THE sORROwFUL DEATH OF A BLACK
AND TAN PUP.

Eight years ago G. B. Kinnan,
chief clerk in the general passen-
ger department of the Missouri
Pacific Railroad, received by ex-
press from New Orleans, a cigar
box. In that box was a black
and-tan pup, which was the gift
of a well known railroad cOnduc'
tor, Sam Weaver. The small
sized canine was named jim,
and he grew in time to be Won
derful dog. lie loved his friends
and he hated his foes, and he
jealously guarded his master. lie
courted the society of we'll dressed
and elegant people while he gave
common folks the go-by every
time. His chief abominatien were
ladies, against the approach of
whom he always defended his
master. For the last few years OF
his life. which came to a close a
few days age, he was accustomed
to meet Mr.. Kinnan at his train
every morning on its arrival. Mr..
kinnan is a sleeping car conduc"

THE TARIFF.
Whereas. We are citizens of the
United States, and are called up
on to pay our share of the public
debt, and
Whereas, The system of inter
nal revenue was inaugurated for
the purpose OF paying the inter
est on war bonds, and
Whereas, We have had a eigh-
teen years of peace and plenty,
and a great portion of the debt
has been paid, therefore be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this convention that the system
OF internal revenue is oppressive
to the poor and should be discon-
tinued at least as fast as prudence
will admit and a protective tariff
on imports, substituted therefore,
that it is the opinion of this con-
ventiOn that a protective tariff
on imports and free manufactur-
ing at home would best subserve
the interest of the whole people,
that it is the duty of each editor
to advocate that principle.
"The tariff is the ove:shadow>
ing issue. 1t furnishes the broad
line of division between political
parties. Therefore, in congress
the representatives OF each party
must prove their faith by their
works. And in the .near future
this faith in revenue reform can
not be proved by electing speaker
of the house any man who holds
views distinctively opposed by
the democratic larty.' .'-[Gazette.
18th inst.
We admit that the above refer
ence is made to Speaker Randall,
but the Gazette, one Of the oil dest
democratic papers of the south,
SAYS that on account of his views
he must not be elected to the
speakership'of the next house. To
succeed, the republican party
must take the course laid down
i'm the above resolution or the
democratic party will win in 1884.

OLD AGE is HONORA BILE.

There is one centenarian in Lit
tie Rock, Mrs. Malinda Edwards,
(col. residing at Dan Cooks, cor
ner 10th and Arch street, is III
years old. She was 93 years old
at the close of the war, and her
husband, who was freed at the
same time she was, died in 1878.
Since that time she has managed
to live upon the charities OF
friends. While we kept store on
South Main street, she used to
make her regular visit for contri-
buttons. The old lady is much
bent and goes upon cane. She
is lively member OF the first
Missionary Baptist church, and
says she is ready and not afraid
to, die at any time. The only
fear she has is, that they won't
put on her good burying clothes
that she has saved so long fol
that purpose. May the blessing
of heaven rest upon her. Selah

charged on the ground that the

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 10
A convention of colered citizens
of the district met tonight to se-
lect delegates to attend a Nations
al Convention of colored men at
Louisville in September. The
meeting was a lively one and
lasted until midnight There
was a noticeable absence Of prom
inent colored leaders like Fred
Douglass. Prof. Greener, and ex-
Senator Bruce. The former was,
however, selected as a delegate.
with Rev Robert S Laws and
Prof. JAS NJ Gregory Us associates,
w f Cuney, John f. johnson
and Robert Ruffian were elected
altcrnates. Quincy and some OF
his friends claimeds after the
meeting, that he had been eleet~
cd as delegate and counted out.

RACE PROBLEM.

Referring to Charlton II. Tan
dy's address at the Press Conven-
ton, the Gazette says;
Distinctions that society i'm
pose are beyond the reach OF the
statutes. These can be de-
stroved only by consent OF the
parties Immediately concerned.
It is of these distinctions that 80
many .colored people complain.
they taking the view that equall,,,
tv before the law blotted out ali
other inequalities. Very little
properly directed thought VIII
establish the fallacy of this theo-
ry; and the real friends Of the ne
GRO can best prove their friend
ship by urging that he 80 mt hlm-
self for the coveted recognition as
to demonstrate that he merits the
social equality of whose denial ne
complains. Assertions that the
"bieots" must be taught that
"the negro had rights like every
other citizen, and they deserve TO
be respected" are mere sound and
fury. They mean nothing. The
negro's real rights are secure,
No one denies them, and he takes
his chances like other citizens.
Beyond and above all this. every
thing depends on his own acts.
On this point we agree with
the Gazette, for we have had
large experience in such matters
and it has taken us six years
in Arkansas to do what we
have always done in other states
and countries in one year, VIZ:
gain recognition at par with
white men. During our business
career in the north, we enjoyed
every advantage xny other gen
tleman did. Was for a number
Of years an active member OF the
Corn Exchange in Toronto, Can
ada, and for long time controll-
ed the markets in Chatham and
Windsor, Ontario, but was only
recognized "a a man III Ar
kansas, without regard to color,
in 1882.
/ As the Gazette says, beyond
and above all this, everything de-
pended on our own acts, which
we hope has met the approval or
the whole people.

There is a world of serio-comic
amusement over the newspaper
pros and cons, concerning the
physical condition Of one Samuel
J, Tilden, once the standard bear
er of the Bourbon democracy Of
the country. The point in con-
troversy seems TO be not so much
as to the cold friends physical
condition, but rather as to what
the old fellow is up to. There
is serious alarm upon one hand
lest the old fellow break into
the democratic convention and
steal the nomination for the pres
idcncy; and upon the other hand,
that he will not be allowed to do
SO, and thereby the "bar'l" may
remain untapped. Either horn
of the dilemma is not pleasant to
contemplate on the part of you
Bourbon.
