THERE must have been somethin,

THERE must have been something
in recent iasue of this paper that
didn't exactly agree with the editor
of the Atkins Reflector. At least,
we judge so, as, out of the very few
columns of editorial matter to be
found in that paper, about three
columns of the last issue were devo-
ted to the DEMocRAT. We strained
our eyes to Gull from these columns
what great sin we had been guilty
uf. One Of them was found to be
that we had mentioned Col. B. T..
Embry's name for governor of the
state Of Arkansas. Yes, we did. We
are guilty of this awful sin, but did
not know it was against the law, and
we stick to it. We still think Pope
able to furnish governor. Another
one is, that the DEAocRAT has given
flaming invitations to immigrants.
We modify that word flaming just
little, and then plead guilty to the
charge. Yes, we have always thought
well of Pope county and her people.
We were initiated into citizenship
with her people during the stormy
days of 1872, and have held tongue
and pen at her command ever since.
We hope to be excused, if we grow
a little enthusiastic, when we hold
Pope county up as a good place in
which TO build home. "If this be
treason, make the most of il" Ano-
ther one of our crimes, was that we
had mentioned the departure from
our county of three families com
prising twenty-three souls late from
Tenn, in consequence of the trouble
at Dover on christmas day. Yes, we
this as one of the results
of that tragic affair. We got the in
formation from the parties them
selves, and gave it to the public as
they gave it to US, We called them
good people. Tennesseans general.

ANOTHER item that does not suit

ANOTHER item that does not suit
US We clip from the Gazette of the
9th, and is as follows:
The senatorial caucus met again
tonight Carlisle was withdrawn,
and Blackburn was nominated on the
first ballot, the vote standing: Black
burn, So; Williams, 81.
The idea o. progressing back
wards appears to have crept into the
democratic mind in certain quarters
to some extent, to-wit: In Ohio and
Kentucky Pendleton for Payne and
Williams for Blackburn, it occurs to
the DEMOCRAT, are exchanges without
any boost to party prestige save, per-
haps, small amount over the left;
not saying, however, but that the new
senators are men of ability and rep
utation.

A CASE recently decided In the Yell
circuit court by Hon. III. S. Carter,
sitting as special judge, is one of
rather peculiar interest. The county
judge of Yell county at the January
term granted ferry license to two par
ties at what is known as the Russell
vile and Dardanelle ferry across the
Arkansas river. In doing so, how
ever, he sees fit to discriminate be-
tween the two men, fixing the license
upon Mr. 10 Brearly at $25 and upon
Mr.. j. l.. Shinn at 800, the outside
limit allowed by the law. Mr.. Shinn.
by his attorney, w. c. Ford, and
Judge Calf through an attorney rep
resenting Yell county upon an agreed
state of facts submitted the question
whether or not such discrimination
could be made--to the circuit court
at Danville recently adjourned. The
court decided that such discrimina-
ton could be made by the county
court from which Mr.. Shinn appeals
of course to the supreme court, hold
ing that the action of the county
court in fixing the charge for license
to one party more than another
at the same ferry, at the same time,
not only contrary to the spirit of our
laws but to the very letter and spirit
of Sec. Is Vol. 2 of the state consti-
tuition, which says; THE general as

There are many well-meaning per-
sons who carry to their graves the
belief that great reforms can be 40
complished by voting faye" on res
olutIon or signing petition. Ga

II is noticeable that those who have
voted aye on resolutions and signed
petitions have been the more instru-
mental in bringing about the great
temperance reforms which Arkansas
now enjoys. Better even be little
impractical occasionally than be too
fearful Of voting aye and signing pc
titions on the great temperance ques-
ton.

The last legislature passed an act
providing for new method of count
Ing the vote cast for amendments to
the constitution. The law provides
that the clerks Of the several coun-
ties shall send the secretary of state
abstracts of the vote in sealed pack
ages; that the secretary shall keep
them with the seals unbroken until
The meeting of the legislature, when
he shall send such returns to the
speaker of the House of Representa-
tives in the original packages, at the
same time that the returns for gov
ernor ard other state officers are
sent, when the returns shall be open
ed BY the speaker in the presence OF
the two houses, and II it appears
that majority OF the electors voting
at such election, from the face of the
returns have voted for it. 1t is made
the duty Of the speaker to declare
that such proposed amendment has
been daily adopted BY tic people.
The law provides for tile autheutica-
tion OF the amendment and that the
governor shall by proclamation de-
clare the amendment duly ratified.
When this is done there is no ap-
peal from the decision, and it is final.

A RECENT decision of our supreme
court decided the property of the
Memphis and Little Rock r. X. liza
BILE for taxation from which it claim
ed exemption under the stipulations
of its charter in 1853. The case was
decided upon the fact that the com
pany forfeited its rights under it's
original charter by the fact of its re-
organization in 1877 under the new
constitution which forbids exemp-
tions, etc. The case has been APP
pealed to the U. S. supreme court,

under protest. A like decision has
also been made in the case of the
Iron Mountain road.

thought go, If the Reflector had not
come dashing In with the surprising
information(?) that -'they could be
spared" and that we shad good
many more just like them who ought
to leave" etc The DEMOCRAT there
upon took occasion to express its
surprise at this strange position of
the Reflector, and set up some inquir-
les as to who these parties might be
"who ought to leave" etc. We also
undertook to write line in defense
of our people against whatever Of as
persion there might be in the Reflect
or's language about people in our
county, who had "no moral courage
little brains" etc. If this be sin,
more's the pity. The DEMOCRAT also
alluded to the fact that the Reflector
had never expressed an opinion in
regard to the killing Of James one
way or another. AS reason, the
Reflector urges that the event occur
red within the scope of the Demo
Gratis jurisdiction, and, by impli
cation, out OF its own, and it must
not 60 a pruning where circumstances
and necessity did not invite. Here's
the reason. The DEMOCRAT can ac-

in the light Of logic, what would be-

opine were the things that did not in

notions in regard to the matter al
ready well settled. Our observations,
however, must have gone to the center,
or they would not have borne so much
fruit, and the shoe which our thoughts
unwillingly wove, must have pinched
numerically, or the Reflector would
not have squealed so long and loud.

suggest that some of the splendid
fighting qualities displayed among
themselves in the last few months be
brought into play against the party
whose power to-day is more iedebted

own popularity as all will admit, 1t
does appear that internal strife and
contention for place among the mem

aside long enough to close up tho

ought not to become so absorbed in

perfected their arrangements for the
great battle of 'S4. They selected
the men, who as the national execu

just ahead of us. The democrats.
however. have not yet aroused them
