An ignorant man in a state iegls-
lature, though as honest as Equity,
and as faithful as Damon, is more
dangerous than shrewd, bad man,
who can perceive the effect of legis-
lative enactments. Self interest, the
hope OF future political preferment,
will restrain such a one, and prompt
him to show at least decent regard
for the rights and interests of his
constituents. The worst legislation,
the greatest steals, the most corrupt
enactments which have ever dis
graced the statute books of the
states, have been the work of honest,
but stupid men, unable to penetrate
the designs Of schemers who have
PLAYED upon them as the musician
plays upon an instrument Such
legislators are mere Jumps of clay
which are kneaded and shaped by
the cunning designs of dishonest
schemers.

The Morrilton Headlight endorses
Hon. w. w. Mansfield for the va.
cancy on the Supreme bench and
says of him. "He is emlnently quail
fled, a lawyer of great research and
insight and with a record as jurist
second TO none. He would wear
with dignity and honor to himself
and the state the mantle laid down
by our reyered late Chief-Justice.
If Judge Mansfield will accept the
position, the people of the state will
90 for him to man." Judge Mans
field is leading candidate for u. S.
senator and the proposition to side
track him to make room for some
one else does not suit the DEMOCRAT.
We object.

ONE of the strange things is that
just as independentism, worked in
the interest and to the advantage OF
republicanism and greenbackism IN
other parts Of Arkansas, had receiv-
ed its death blow that then it should
show itself in such an unnatural
climate as Pope county, ard other
counties up this way. Even in Ne
vada county, where the great apostle
of greenbackism, E. A. Warren,
breaches his doctrines in the most
grandiloquent accents, and hurls his
most ponderous charges against de-
mocracy, this species of abnormal
political existence has been most
wofully trodden under foot.

A boomerang is missile which
strikes back when it hits forward.
This is exactly the kind of missile
the republicans invented when they
introduced public scandal as factor
in this presidential campaign. The
thing strikes back against their own
man harder than it hits forward
against the other. If the thing was
to do over again, doubtless there
would be no scandal literature in
this campaign.

SENATOR Henry B. Anthony

SENATOR Henry B. Anthony died
at Providence, r, L., September I'd.
He was one of the most respected of
the Republican United States Sena-
tors. He was born in the town of
Coventry, Rhode Island, on April
LIST, 1915, and was therefore in the
10th year o, his age. He graduated
at Brown University, and immedi-
ately thereafter entered the journal
istic profession. He assumed cdito-
rial control of the Providence Jour-
nal, and rapidly rose in the scale Of
political preferment, having been
elected Governor of the State in
1S49. In 1850 he was re elected,
and declined a third term of the
same office. He was elected to the
United States Senate as Republi.
can to succeed Hon. Phillip Allen,
Democrat, and took his seat March
A, 1859. In 1864, 1870, 1915 and
1882, he was reelected. His term
would have expired in 1889. On
March 20, 1869 he was elected Pres
ident of the Senate PRO TEMPoRE, and
on March 10, 1871, he was re-elect-
ed. He was again selected for the
office on the expiration of the term
of Hon. David Davis but owing to
his failing health he finally declined
and Senator Edmunds was elected.

The French reformed church.

On Wednesday, June II, the city of
Nantes witnessed an interesting spectacle
in the opening of the Synod of the Re-
sormed Church of France. 1t is nearly
two hundred years since Louis XIV. dealt
what was intended to be death blow to
French Protestanism by revoking the edict
signed at Nantes by Henry ". in 1898.
The edict was measure of peace, and
made an end of a long, bloody and fratri-
cidal war. The revocation was as heart.
less and cruel as the edict was generous.
1t was attributed at the time, and has been
ever since, to the influence of Nine. de
Maintenon. The Hugenots were compelled
to leave the country or conform to the
national Church. Professionalism was Writ
ually extinguished. Of late years, how
ever, this oppressed Church has risen like
phoenix from its ashes, and at the late
meeting at Nantes, which recalled many
stirring memories, the Reformed Church
was represented by eighty members, who
spoke and voted in the name Of the 119
congregations. The foreign evangelical
churches were we'll represented at the
Synod. AS the day seems near when the
State grant amounting to 100000 will be
withdrawn the financial question was nat.
urally given prominent place.

The Bishop and the Peers.

1t is the duty of the Bishop of Liverpool,
as the youngest of the Bishops, 10 read the
prayers in the House of Lords. He feels it
to be cause of Inconvenience, as it keeps
him away from his diocese large part of
the year. The annoyance is the greater
that the reading Of the prayers occupies
little more than five minutes, and that it
is rare occasion when more than five
Peers are present at prayers. He refuses
to employ Chaplain because sit would
be one more step toward taking the Bishop
out Of the House Of Lords altogether" and
because it would lend encouragement to
disestablishment People might ask:
"What is the use of the Church of En-.
gland being connected with the State at
ALI" The Liberdtor recalls the fact that
it was this self-same Bishop of Liverpool
who, while only a canon, used the words:
"The notion that English Christianity
would suffer damage if the Bishops were
withdrawn from the House Of Lords ap.
pears to me entirely without foundation"
1t would thus appear that the Bishop has
somewhat modified his opinion in the in.
teryal.

American Home Misslons.

What is known as the American Home
Missionary Society is an organization
connected with the Congregational
churches. The annual meeting this year
was attended, as appears from the report,
by 1900 ministers, delegates and friends
of the society from all parts of the States.
This fifty-eighth year of the society's ex.
istence shows fair amount of property.
The cash receipts amounted to $365,OOO;
the agents employed are 1,S42, and the
statedly supplied churches and stations
are 1880. There are 2,Os9 Sunday-schools,
in which, with Bible classes, are 116, 3l4
scholars. During the year there have been
organized 149 churches, 1897 have been
added to the membership, 118 houses Of
worship have been completed and 1888 ma
rally improved AMI 33 parsonages pro-
vided. OF the Home Missionary Record
24,500 i; copies have been issued. In the
Western States many Of the supported
stations have become independent.

A Miracle.

Whenever there is an extraordinary

out hurting it; mechanic falls from a
third-story window, and in week after is
at work again, we are wont to exclaim
"what miracle!" So, when Mrs. T. s
Ererline, then of Allegheny City, Pa, had
been sick with Consumption for very
long time, had been told by several of the
best physicians Of that city, that her time
was but for few hours, that she mus
die, and when the use of but one bottle Of
Peruna in weeks time placed her on
her feet again, and made her the heartiest
eater of the family,al the people around
as with one rejoicing voice, exclaim
