\ Means to Determine = Validity
OF the Law ~ 1889.
In a good many of the counties In
this State the political parties propose
to put candidates in the field for Coun-
ty Assessors this year to test the val
ldiiy of the infamous law passed By
The last Legislatuge making these of
fcers hold over for two years. IN
this connection the Eureka Sentinel
suggests the followir g as the most
speedy method of determining the
validity Of the hOld-over Assessors
bill:
We believe that II is within the pow
er OF the Board Of County Commits
sioners, at this time, to order the
Clerk To publish n formal notice Of
the coming election. The statutes
say, We believe, only this. that such
notice must be gwen out 20 days be-
fore election day, leaving the INFER
enc that such notice may he made
public at any reasonable time, pre-
ceeding the 100 days before,'' that
may be- deemed ~expedieiit by The
Beard. Ordinarily, these 20 days
have been sufficient for the notifica-
ton, aud they would be SO, now, but
for the emergency that may be ante
lpaled by an immediate publication.
We refer 10 the question of the con
stituiionality of the Act Of 1888, *
tending the term OF the County Asses
sors two years beyond the press Mt
term. The validity of this law has
been much discussed, pro and con,
but such Il iscussIoIl, lille int resting
enough, has no legal torce. II occurs
10 us that IL would be we'll for The
County Commits toner's of Eureka
cunt, Qhe Board OF any other coun-
" would, of course, do AS we'll To or
er the Clerk In publish the election
notice At once in such "a way as to pro-
vide an opportunity TO tesL the Assess
scr Act with the greatest disl atch and
with the least confusion or inconve-
nIeice. The Legislature has, i'm effect,
declared hat there shall be no cleo
lion for Assessor This Fall. Now, then,
let tie Commissioners leave ont OF the
list of elective officers that of Assessor.
In the face of the law they cant o we'll
do otherwise, for they are presumed
10 act in accordance with the statutes
and not to question them. Any cIti-
zen who believes that such an omis-
sion Is wrong-berause the law Is in
valld--caD institute n legal process To
compel the Commissioners 10 supply
IL by inserting the Assessors Office in
the notice. Tho cast can be taken
then to the Supreme Court, passed
upon and determined bythat tribunal,
so that in case the law is declared in
valid the omission of the A. sessor's
Office may be supplied before the 20
days preceding the election. thus
making the entire notice regular and
correct. IL action be postponed the
delay may Inconvenience and.
to some extent, n arrangement Of u
county affairs. Hence, with due
apology for possible. impertinence, We
suggest thai the Board of Commits
sioners assemble directly and 10 act
that all may know whether we have
to abide by the Assessors act OF 1883,
or not.

This was said by an active and in

lobby of the House Of Representa-

of the Republican conference, and
heartily endorsed by three or four
young Republicans present.

Because it stamps the Republi-

questions at issue twenty five years

and important questions up for con

If anything, politically, with more

than this, it has escaped our obser-

twenty years has been sectional
hate and the bloody shirt. And the
party managers are now delving with
their senate committees over the
Danyille and CopIah troubles, to
manufacture material for the cam
paign of 1884. so that if these in

Ir is observable that the man wb

IT is observable that the man who
talks of fanaticism, invariably il
talking about some one else thar
himself. The fanaticism of course
is always in the other fellow, and
the speaker is the large-hearted, lib
eral fellow. Isn't it strange, espec-
tally in temperance and religious
matters, how pat fanatic comes to
the purpose of those who have q
point to make against fellow, or q
defence to make of his own position
Judge Caldwell of the U. S. court at
Little Rock, is the author of the SEN
timent that a man who had lived to
middle life without being called q
fanatic was failure. The Judge,
of course, drew the great distinction
between being called a fanatic and
being one. There may be some ia
natics in this country, but we would
like to know,if they are not as liable
to be found on one side of an argu
ment as on another?

into politics, let us drop that as

the redemption of our farmers, finan-
cially. Think how many are in

oially.. One half of our farmers and
laboring men are under mortgage.

We must free ourselves financially
and mentally, then we will be able to

Batesville Pilot.
The Pilots pen was never better
employed than when advocating the
claims of Judge Mansfield. The
thoughtful consideration of his vast
fitness will certainly attract suffi-
cient amount Of interest in his name
to honor it with just such an eleva
tion as will bring back the largest
amount Of credit to the State OF Ar
kansas. We would not disparage the
claims of others who aspire to this
great distinction. A knowledge and
an intimate knowledge of his extra
ordinary merits and gifts lead US to
the advocacy of Judge Mansfield for
seat in the L. S. Senate. We are
aware that Judge Mansfield does
not activity seek the distinction,
but this is no reason why it should
not be conferred. He will obey the
voice of the people, and when he
sees that to command, he will obey.

The Russellville Democrat didn't

it is deeply concerned now over the

The DEMOCRAT has never seen the
day when its columns did not stand
wide open to farmers of Pope county
and their interests. 1t is no after
thought or new idea or scheme, nc
indeed. 1t has experienced & steady
solicitation for the laboring portion
of our community; and, as for oul
interest over the question as to what
course the B. of +. will pursue in
politics, that is natural, for the Dem
ocRAT is Democratic journal, and
anything which would seem to
threaten democratic harmony would
very naturally arouse its interest, and
awaken its energies. The columns
of last weeks issue, as we'll as OF
this, show also that the interest is
not confined to this office. Reflect.
ing, intelligent democrats saw the
liable drift in this direction, and have
taken the matter in hand, and doubt.

II 49,
In the Senate on last Monday
Senator Garland IN discussing the
Blaine Educational biz, said: 1.-THE
people of Arkansas have done all In
their power 70 educate the colored
race, but from circumstances abso-
|lutely beyond their control, they
could not meet the great evil Of Hit
eracy.' To show the efforts being
made in their behalf, the Senator
might have added that our State
School Superintendent had arranged
to hold about thirty institutes in the
State in 1854, and that eleven of
these we're designed for the colorcd
people.

very much to me like the plotting of
men who rely on party division and
the engendering of prejudlces rather
than real merit and fitness, for pro-

party to such a movement.
There are men enough good and

Pope County that will come up to
the standard erected by the B. of F.
and they should be selected by B. of

NoTHING is surer than that capital
seeks investment in the most favor
ed quarters, and those that promise
best returns. The following from
the Washington Post, indicates the
interest now felt among capitalists
in the South as manufacturing sec.
ton
The amount OF capital invested in
manufacturing and mining enter
prises at the South, during the
months of January and February
just pasta period of only sixty
days-is estimated at the vast ag-
gregate of over twenty eight millions
of dollars.
OF this amount the State of Ken
lucky, with an accession to her act
I'VE monetary resources Of nearly
seven millions, is the largest benefi.
ciary; Alabama, with over five mil,
lions, does not fall far behind; Vir-
ginia, as if bounding to new strength
from under the yoke of Readjuster
ism, takes third rank, with but little
less than four millions; Texas falls
into fifth place, with over three mil
lions and half; Georgia comes next
in order with two millions, Mary
land, about the same: South Carroll

a million and an average of little
less than half million to all the
other States.

The Brothers or Freedom will as

county. to consult as to whether oil
not they will nominate a b. of f.
ticket this fall in that county. We
can see no reason why they should
not, as their associations are for sell
protection, and they should stand
together and see that they are pro-
tected In politics as we'll as in com
merce. The b. of F. is quite body
in Pope county, and if they nomi-

The first thing to be noted is the
kind Of journal that the above is
taken from. A republican paper.
Ofcourse the Republican can see no
reason why the order should not
stand together in politics in Pope
county, and strike hands with him
and his party in Conway. It's a
sweet morsel under his tongue to
say anything he can, or pat anybody
on the back that will be patted, to
the end that democratic harmony
and success may be endangered.
That journal is a republican journal,
and is by no means a safe guide for
democrats to consult, In anything

The Presidential Campaign.


From the State. Richmond, Va.
The Presidential canvass for 1886
was well under way before February
of that year, and so far as the Re
publican party was concerned, the
Grant boom was organized in De
cember, 1879. The campaign fol
1884 is backward. John Sherman
tried to open the ball last week by
raising the bloody shirt, but as bis
scheme fell fat the Republicans are
holding back to see what the Dem.
ocrats are going to do with the tariff,
and as the Morrison bill is to bs
presented this week, it viii not be
long before the campaign work be-
gins.
The Democratic party never had
better chance to elect President
than it has this year. 1t is the pro-
gressiye party, and its economic pol
icy as represented by the majority,
is one that commends itself to the
people agricultnrlsts, mechanics,
and business men. The Republican
party on the other hand, represents
the same old ideas that have char
acterized il ever SINCE the war. It's
tendency to build up an arstocratic
government; to protect the wealthy
monopolists of the country; to make
fat offices for corrupt politicians; to
shield the rascals who misappropri.
ate the peoples money, should dis
gust all American freemen, and If
the Democrats stand up for their
rights, they can surely defeat the
monopolists next November.
The people are fast approaching
the importance Of economic ques
tions, and the wonder is how the
Republicans with their narrow, class
policy, have kept In Office SO long.
Money has done it, but the Demo.
Gratis must strike out boldly this
year and put an end to the work of
the corruptionists.
The crushing defeat which Ma
hone sustained in November, togeth-
er with the exposure Of his corrup-
tion which has been made since.
makes it impossible for him to rally
his forces again; and all the grit
which he might once have possessed
will count for nothing now. Virgin.
ia is Democratic and will remain
Democratic. The South, which has
enjoyed the blessings or Democracy
for several years, will remain Demo.
cratic. The collapse of Mahoneism
has taught the would be bosses of
the South lesson which they will
not soon forget. But not only is the
South Democratic; many of the
Western and some of the Northern
States are more solidly Democratic
than ever. True, there are differ
ences between Democratic politi-
clans growing out Of the tariff; but
when the time comes for the people
to speak through the ballot, it Will
be found that the masses agree on
the policy being mapped out by the
revenue reformers.
The Republicans may wait and
watch before organizing their cam
paign work, but the time has come
when. they are to be laid on the
shelf, no matter what methods they
may adopt.
