tributcl an article to the PuW Man

'~lmagiac n man standing in my place,
with positively no ambition for a higher

THE ARKANSAS EMIGKANTS,

We are glad to learn Of the weakening
of some Of the "Arkansas Travcllcrs'
who have almost given up their plan.
1t is almost madness for people to move
from this county where lands are cheap
and good, where the climate is healthy,
and where there is the best government
that the u shines on, to go to a coun-
try unknown, sickly and far from hom:
and kindred. 1t is a praiscworthy weak
ness that compels them to abandon so
Inflated an enterprise.

POLICY.

We believe that upon his inaAguIa-
ton as President, Grover Cleveland will
not turn an attentive ear to the demands
Of hungry Democrats, desiring a whole
sale slaughter of the Republican Office
holders that they thereby may be filled.
Nor do we think he shonld. 1t is per-
fcctly natural that those who have
borne the heat and burden Of many an
ill-lated struggle should now see in the
near future the chrvstal streams for
which their hearts have painted, but it is
v'Snr that an indiscriminate hustling of
Republican oliice-holdcrs from thicr po-
:SltlonS will cause great confusion, and
cast rcproach upon the efforts at honest
reform, so loudly profcsscd by the de-
mocracy. We believe that our offices
should be filled by capable and honest
men, and we do think that those fire
brands among LIS whose sole mission has
been to keep up discord and who studied
the arts of antagonizing the classes Of our
population, should be kicked out with
out cercmony-but honest Republicans
should We think be retained, at least un-
til the machinery has been rc-adj listed.
Taft, Brayton, Guftin, Wilder, Tolbcrt
and such cattle should be hurried to the
shamblcs. and that without mercy.
The Cabinet we think should be COM
posed Of straight out Democrats, and
the South should be we'll represented
therein. 1t is useless to longer pirate
about distressing the South upon
the ground that they have made one eff
fort to dissolve the union and NAV do so
again. The South has had "blenty" of
that. We ere IN the Union 08d we
nre IN to stoy. We feel nearer to it
now than ever. We love the memories
of the Lost Cause, but have not the
slightest, not the remotest idea of
breathing new life into the dead bones
in the valley Of Askulon. Being in the
Union then, we demand social, official
and fr%atcrnal recognition in the family
council Of the great nation.
We no doubt W a great deal Of our
victory to the Independent Republican
vote, bnt they arc not SO soon entitled
10 its fruits. They should serve ont the
rigthE unn0S as well as the true and
faithful Democrats who nave followed
thc fortunes and principles Of The De-
mocracy through the gloomy past. The
independents voted with us, not because
they sympathizcd with the principles of
Democracy, but because they could not
endure the thought of as corrupt a man
rs Blaine filling the Presidential chair,
and in Cleveland's Cabinet there should
only be true and tried Democrats. who
do sympathize with the principles of the
party At the mex Presidential election
the Independent Republicans would vote
for an honest and pure Republican can
didate because they arc Republicans
from principle. We admire their con
duct because they loved republicanism
too sincerely to cntrust it into the hands
of Blaine. Let US have in Clevcland's
cabinet only those who through advcr-
sity have been purified.

About Merino Sheep.

When the first prizes for meripo sheep
were awarded to American merinos at the
international exposition at Hamburg, about
twenty years ago, all Europe was aston
ished. The Yankee sheep took the prizes
over the best hocks OF Europe, and they
could not understand it. After the first
surprise the European sheep.growers, at
the close of the exhibition, did the best
possible thing-they purchased the Ameri-
can merinos, or Vermont merinos as they
were generally called, for the Improvement
Of their own fooks, at what was then an
unusually high price. The American mer-
mos are the result Of several importati0es
made early In the present century Ia Spain,
and included animals from the Paular,
Infantado, Negretti, and other celebrated
focks, regarded 90 the finest in Spain. OF
these early importstions some were lost
sight of, or run out" through careless
breeding. Others were bred with great
fiocks, under our climate, and without
doubt better feeding, they gradually de-
yeloped, perhaps unintentionally on the
part of the breeders, into Distinctly family
of Merinos, now known as American. The
OF the American over the best
European families Of Merinos is shown In
the first place, in its greater size and weight.
While the. rams of the most noted Of the
Spanish focks range from sixty to one hun.
dred pounds-this last weight
rarely reached-the American Merino
rams ran to 100 pounds, and upwards to
1870 pounds. These large weights are &C
companied by shorter neck and legs, and
increased width OF loin, and, what is most
. great increase In the weight OF
fleece. Some aocks have averaged ten
