HON. NEWTON G. BLANCHARD

Fourth Congressional District will
be called upon to choose q Repre-
sentative to the Forty-Ninth Con
gress, and we feel no hesitancy in
asserting that the Hon. Newton G.
Blanchard will be his own success
sor. During his two terms in Con-
gress he has made a record which
| is an honor to himself and of which
his constituents are justly proud
In again placing the name Of Mr..
Blanchard before the people we are
actuated by no ultericr, purpose; we
are not supporting him as a matter
Of policy or to win favor, but we
give him our hearty, cordial and un-
divided support because he has
proved a worthy public servant.
He is, the representative of no fac
ton; he is an earnest, faithful and
Jealous worker, and the wants OF
the people. of this District have new
er been for a moment neglected.
Through his efforts and influence
the people are to-day enjoying very
many advantages of which they
were deprived heretofore. To Mr..
Blanchard is due the credit of the
establishment of postal money-or-
der Offices at a number of places in
this District; new mail routes have
been opened, and mail facilities IN
creased he has been largely instru-
mental in securing appropriations
for the relief of overfowed sufferers,
and for the improvement of several
of the most important water courses
in the State. Although one of the
+ youngest members of Congress he
, occupies foremost position, and
hissinfuence is felt and acknowl-
I, edged by the oldest and ables'
f members of that body. In Mr.
Blanchard the people of this Dis;
! trict have had an able, honest and
:, faithful Representative, and he viii
g be returned to Congress again il
: November by an overwhelming ma
jority despite the opposition of {
: select few AS f. w.. Sutherlin
0 ESQ.,, of Mansfield, now State Sen
ator, said at Tally's Opera HOUSE
. four years ago, when congratula
s ting the people upon the nomina
e ton of Mr.. Blanchard, II presen
+. to you our Representative in Con
l. gress for the next twenty years"
The assertion was no idle one. MI
+ Blanchard's career has been al
n agreeable disappointment to many
J. many prominent gentlemen who op
" posed his nomination at Natchito
ches, and who are to-day his warm
n est and most ardent supporters
There is but one way of correctl
n judging man, and that is by hi
:, work, and as Mr.. Blanchard ha
is proved himself the right man in tn
,e right place, the people Of his Di'
l. trict will continue to return him

HILL, Fontaine & Co.'s report
Of the condition of the cotton crop
for the Memphis District makes a
faYorable showing. Arkansas, is
the only section from which com:
plants were received, rain and cold
nights having somewhat retarded
the growth Of the plant in that
State. The crop throughout the
district will be late,, but the condi-
ton so far is good,
in the River and Harbor bill
which was recently reported to the
House from the Committee on Riv-
ers and Harbors, and of which Hon.
NC. Blanchard is member, Red
River is down for SIS, 200, and it is
specially set forth in the bill that
$4,000 Of that sum shall be used

ST. LOUIS. June General
Carl Schurz; arrived here to-day,
and in connection with his visit the
WestIiche Post, a leading German
Republican newspaper 9of this Sec
ton, will tomorrow publish the fol-
lowing editorial paragraph: Yester-
day the ridiculous rumor came into
circulation that tho purpose of the
visit of Mr.. Carl Seht,rz to st. Louis
was to persuade ns.to support Blaine
for President. The exact reverse is
the truth. It was long before the
Chicago Convention that Mr.
Schurz told US that under no con.
ceivable circumstances would Ire
support and advocate the nomina'
ton of Blaine. What has happen.
ed of late has rather confirmed thar
weakened him in that intention
Tho Republican party will heal
from him very soon. 21
The following is a Washington
dispatch of the 18th:
"Not much credence is giver
here to the statement that Mr.. Ran

-REpUBL1cANs are predicting
that the Democratic press will say

mistake. The Democratic press will
not say one bad thing about him.
A great many bad things will be

from Republican newspapers. Could
anything be fairer than this Elk.

. Mr., Smart's bill against the
careless handling of dangerous wea-
pons is conceived in an excellent
spirit, but it is in effect, a law for
the prevention of accidents. Grim
inal negligence is already punisha
bic under both the civil and the
criminal law If death results, the
law now makes such neglect mans
laughter. If injury short of loss of
life is occasioned, damages can be
obtained in a civil action, and am
pie penalties are prescribed by pre-.
sent criminal statutes. The party
offending can be pursued by cumu-
lative actions, both by civil suit
and 10y information or indictment.

The discovery mentioned elsewhere
In these columns creates no surprise in
the mind of the writer. The formation
of the country and the gold that is to be
found in almost every gulch on all sides
of us would indicate that our mountains
are ribbed by numerous lodges carrying
the precious minerals, and if Il thorough
and systematic prospecting was carried
on such finds as the above would be Of
weekly occurrance. The fact is, that for
the past three or four years, while our
mining population is certainly increas-
ing owing to the continued work on old
and producing discoveries, there has
only been that increase necessary to sup
ply that demand. and the prospecting
Of the Southern Hills ceased when 1t
was only begun, in the fall and winters
of 70 and 80. Since that time all work
done has been on discoveries made pre-
vious and at that time and which have
since developed into mines in every
sense Of the word, but the prospecting
of these properties is all that has been
done. For the past four years prospect
ing has almost ceased, excepting in
some isolated cases which have resulted
like the n near Four Mile, in rich
finds Of various minerals, such as the
tin and nickel discoveries. The present
find, like the two last mentioned, will
for a time give an impetus to prospect
ing, but the epoch in the Hills history
when rich strikes are the order of the
day and a twelve months transforms a
mining camp into a city of from 5000 to
10000 inhabitants will not come till the
the opening Of the reservation and the
advent Of railroads. Then, and not I'M
til then, can the Hills expect to exper-
fence such a boom as will eclipse that Of
Colorado's In '7S.
The Black Hills to-day presents a bet
ter field for the prospector than any
other mining country that we know of,
as the opening of the reservation and
railroad communication with the east
will cause such an influx Of capital and
population AS will make the fortunes OF
all who have stayed with the Hills
and prepared for the coming thereof.

Every season has its sensation. IF il
is not n thing it is another and so the
world moves on. When Jenny Lind
came to this country and commanded
$685. for a single reserved seat the peo-
pie were amazed. But more astonish-
ing things than that have happened
since then, not the least of which was
the introduction of Swayne's Pills for
the general improvement Of the human
system. They are good for almost
every complaint, but are indispensable
for cos%tiveness, Liver troubles, sick
headache and other ailments of a de-
pressing character.
