HE mutterings OF discord, thanks

The mutterings Of discord, thanks
be to goodness, are not all heard in
the democratic ranks. There is
more there, it must be admitted,
than is of any practical use in a
campaign, but then there is just
enough across the way, over in the
other camps, to establish the fact be-
yond dispute, that, in this particu
lar, the other sort of political folks
are abundantly related to us. Up
in New York recently there was q
gathering, and the Globe Democrat,
the great republican apostle, called
it "a select gathering" And, in
this gathering, were such men as
Carl Schurz, and men OF his way OF
thinking. These men, without the
fear of the Globe Democrat before
their eyes had the temerity to de.
clare that the "bloody shirt must
be laid away and that sectional
agitation" must cease or the hide
pendent republican vote cannot be
counted on worth cent. These
were the sentiments OF that gather
ing which weighed SO heavily upon
the spirits of the Globe Democrat.
Yon are certain to touch The bottom
chord in that papers feelings and
the element for which it speaks
when You speak offurling its battle
flag and aholishing its thunder. 1t
has fought under the bloody shirt
so long and SO long trained under
the spirituale Of sectional agitation,
that ITS all Of principle or political
economy rests upon these two ideas,
and to have them impeached by
men in republican garb is like the
voice Of treachery in the camp. But
the voice speaks nevertheless and
speaks for large element OF the
party. Ii the Democratic party has
its thorn in the flesh in the shape Of

THE question is agitated in Little
Rock to force the street car fare
down to a nickel by the force OF
public opinion. The management
ought not to walt for any such
pressure to be brought upon them.
Their rule in regard to tickets is
manifestly unfair and should be
reprobated, if not by the company
then by the public. There Can be
no reason offered in justice why a
passenger should be compelled to
buy five tickets for quarter in or
der to get nickletfare, or else pay 10
cents. Any such rule of business
is based on principle very nearly
akin to swindling and is tolerated
only because it is small thing-a
small thing true to each passenger
but in the aggregate big thing to
the company. The company were CIV
en- the privileges of the public streets
in Little Rock, aud the city should
interest itself to abolish such mani
fest unfairness in its business, and
obtain for the the public the popular
price of a nickel fare.

There is not county in the state,
in our opinion, with better officers
than Pope. Her sheriff made the
best showing in the percentage OF
tax collection of any one in the state,
and her clerk can show an office than
which none can be found better reg
ulated. Her treasurer is accommo-
dating. and her asse ssor full of work.
Her judge measures well up in ahili
ty, and her representative honest
faithful and true, and her senator
wears the highest honors which that
body can bestow, being its president.
He also wears the additional dignity
OF having been governor OF Arkan-
sas, and ought to be again. Pope
county could suffer worse fate
than to have the whole kit ano
bilin' reelected, which may be the
case, and-may not.

IT IS noticeable that those who are
straining every nerve to educate the
public mind to the belief that sue
cess to the democracy depends upon
the selection of New York man for
a candidate, does not base their ar
guments upon the party's faith or
principles. 1t is nothing with them
but NewYork just as ifthe party faith
and principles were mere matter OF
moonshine to be regarded in the
choice of leaders if convenient, but,
if not, to be subordinated. Our in
formation is that the prosperous
years Of the Democratic party saw it
grapple its enemies upon platforms
which rested upon its principles,
and its banners all written over with
them, and its faith proclaimeb from
every hill top.

PRIMARIES.

As the question of nominations fOI
the various county officers will soor
be before our people, 1t is we'll TO be
gin to consider the best means o.
securing the fullest expression OF the
popular choice. The convention
system is too often liable to abuse
In this election it is more than evel
so. Because the farmers are so back
ward in their labors, it would be al
most impracticable to get anything
like fair expression OF public sen
tlment from an ordinary convention
therefore, we think, the primary sys
tenn should be adopted. We fire.
quently hear it said that the primary
system fails to give general satisfac
tion, but if sfted to the bottom. i
will be found that the men who fai
to be satisfied are the political wire
pullers who dislike to have theil
trade interferred with by giving the
people fair chance. OF course, The
disappointed candidates are never
satisfied with any system True
Democrat.
The primary system has been 81
long in vogue in Pope county thai
we take it for granted that 1t vii
be continued for the next campaign
While there are objections to it, stil
there are objections to any system o.
nominating candidates, and we sup
pose that there is as little objection
to the primary system as to any 9th
er and perhaps less opportunity t.
log roll and wire. pull. 1t won't b.
long until the matter will be decided
upon and as for ourself either will
suit US, so that the utmost fairness
is done and our best men nomina
ted.

State School superintendent Wood
e. Thompson spent Friday night in

seems to have a salutary effect upon

Hon. Il. j. Brown, the able lawyer
and distinguished citizen Of Van

few days in the capital city, pre-
paratory to visit east. Inasmuch
as his name is often mentioned as
candidate for the nomination OF gov

him mp with view of ascertainlng
how he feels on the subject. AS will
be observed from the following, he
is a9t adverse To the nomination,

porter said: Judge, are you working

A lamb six months old in the
province of Victoria, Australia,
weighed 100 pounds, and at that
early age sheared six pounds of very
fine wool. This lamb was from a flock
that had descended from French i'm
portations many years ago, and it
shows thai the breed does not de-
teriorate under the strange skies OF
the Southern hemisphere Rural

All. but wouldn't that lamb have
made delicious breakfast for one OF

tiful coat of wool! What is that
compared to the wonderful qualities

your sheep, you can never learn them
to run rabbits or hunt coons in the
world, neither are they useful as
mediums OF hydrophobia. True, a

dured as source of amusement for
our valuable dogs. They might get
lazy and unskillful if there were no
