THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

TIE DEMOCRATlC PART1.
 The Democratic party is pledged to the reduction of this surplus. Ev cry line of it's platform, every trad: ton of it's history, every act and word of it's candidates, every decla ration of all it's leading men confirm this pledge.
 What IS the Democratic party winch these men so islander? It is the party of the Constitution. Ii believes the highest duty as the greatest safety IS obedience to it's mandates. It believes the powers of the Federal Government are al, granted, and those not granted are reserved to the States and the peo- pie. It believes in simplicity, econ omy, purity of administration. It believes in an "indissoluble union of indestrucIble States" It believes principles endure, while policies should change with each new phase of varying conditions. It believes administration is never perfect. but can always be improved, always be reformed. It believes in the people, their wisdom, their honesty, their devotion to the common weal--great CT than that of any one man-and therefore It believes in constant re- currence to the people, that parties and policies and administrations may have new inspiration ofvigor, courage and loftier aim.
 When Washington retired from the Presidency, and party spirit as- snmed activity, the Democratic par ty, already organized, came into the field. Jefferson's inaugural proclaim ed the creed of the Democracy tri- umphant. The vital truths of that creed advanced by succeeding gene rations, even as increasing vigilance fed the yestal fires, inspire it's life and action to Gay.

For mIlch cows and horses l mile west of town,' by
 H. N. ALLEN.
 Our friend Perry Renfrow who lives about two miles from town cele- brated his 75th birth day on last Tues day. We congratulate our old friend upon his good health and ability to drive things around his farm at his stage in life. He is always up to the times and turns out as good yield of oats, corn and cotten as any man in the county. Mir. Renfrow is one of our acquisitions from N. O., being native of Johnson county that state, about twenty-two miles from Raleigh. the state capital, and the old North state lent Arkansas a valuable citizen in the person of our valued friend, and one who is true to her every interest. He sends greeting on the occasion of his 75th birth day to his old friends in N. c. with the admonition to take the DEMOCRAT and learn of the advantages of Arkansas, and then do as he did, come and make it their home.
 Ut Is noteworthy fact that Russell vile and Atkins the two principal towns in the county have money in al- most every school and church house in the county and almost every other pub lie enterprise. These towns are the first places visited when house is burnt or calamity experienced. This is as it should be and serves to illus- trate how closely we are bound togeth- CT in one common bond of interest. We are community with interests in common and nothing ought to be per- mitted in the country that would tend to introduce arrangement or alienate ] this community feeling among the peo- pie. |. is wise and ought to be the policy of the people of this county to cultivate the conditions and principles which would make the people feel nearer to each others welfare. Any thing like class divisions or prejudice tends to kill out that mutual good feel Ing which responds to these cases of charity which are always arising. They tend to cultivate the feeling that every man is for himself and the devil for all, rather than feeling of compass siou, confidence and charity. There is 2 lesson in this for our people if they will only learn it.

NO REASON FOR CHANGE.

On the first day of July, 1865, the
National debt was $2,756, ,431 ,571. On
the 1st day of July, 1884, it was 81, ,45O
O5O,235. Thus the American people
have in the time paid the interest
promptly and settled 81 ,450. 381, 1886 of
the principal, within small amount of
one-half of it. This is the debt which
the Democratic prophets foretold would
never be paid. ID the meantime the
Nation has prospered as never before.
and to-day, thanks to the Republican
party-with human slavery wiped out,
withsa stable currency the best in the
world, with credit at home and abroad
unequaled by the wealthiest Nation upon
the globe, at peace with the world-it is
the veritable land of promise. The ene-
mics of the Republican party to-day can
not give any excuse for change from
Republican policy.
Looking at the figures which we have
mentioned, glancing at the past and cur
rent history to see what the Republican
party has accomplished, no reasonable or
fair man but is forced to say, "Well done,
good and faithful servants"
If it has failed in patriotism-when?
If it has slept on guard-where? If it
has DOT protected the weak and helpless

It's best blood, then history ASSERTS false
hood.
The Democratic party can not to day
lnscribe single motto of achievement on
its banners from the dark days of 1860 to
the present which will inspire its followers
with enthusiasm. What can 1t say to
the young men just coming into active
life and duty? The less the better. If
it could blot out the past of history the
present and the future would give larger
promise. Inter Ocean.

HENRY WAS SHOT FOR STEALING
RATIONS,

BOSTON, August ia special from
Portsmouth, N. H. says: early this
morning Colonel Kent obtained an inter
view with Lieutenant Greedy, who ad-
mitted that Private Henry had military
execution on the 9th of June. AS early
as March Henry was suspected Of steal
ing the limited food which was appor
toned out to the survivors, and, the fact
being finally and positively ascertained,
Lieutenant Greely had thereafter hard
work to protect the mans life. 1t be-
came necessary, in order to keep up dis
cipline, to inform Henry that he would
be shot if the practice was continued.
and that similar fate would be meted
out to any other member of the party
detected in like crime If Henry had
been permitted to continue his stealing
unmolested the remainder of the party
would surely have staryed to death, and
Henry alone survived After, and in
spite of these warnings Henry was again
detected stealing provisions, among the
food taken being two pounds of bacon,
the eating of SO much of which made
him sick. A search was then instituted,
when it was found that Henry had,
among other articles, stolen andgsecreted
a pair of sealsk1n boots which had be-
longed to the hunter of the party.
Lieutenant Greely was therefore forced
in order to keep military discipline and
protect the lives of his other comrades, to
issue written order that Henry be shot,
which order was carried into effect June
6.
AS to the alleged cannibalism, Greely
says that if there was anything of the
kind it must haye been an Individual act
and not general. Nothing of the kind,
however, came under Greelys personal
observation.
Sergeant Brainard, who is in the hos
pital at the navy yard, confirms Lieuten-
ant Greely's statements. More than
week ago Lieutenant Greely forwarded
to the Secretary of War detailed report
of Henry's execution. Upon proper
representations to Secretary Chandler, a
court of inquiry will undoubtedly be
ordered

ANDREW D. WHITES POSITION

ANDREW D. WHITES POSITION.
SYRACUSE, n. Y. July 31-In re-
sponse to letter from General D. H.
Bruce, inciosing a paragraph from the
Syracuse Courier on the alleged W. A.
Croffut interview, President Andrew D.
White, Of Cornell University writes as
follows:
NANTUCKET, Mass, July 26.-My
Dear General:-I had supposed myself
beyond the possibility of surprise at the
inventive genius of the average newspa,
per correspondent, even in as dry time
for news as this. But [ confess that the
cutting from Mr.. Croffuts letter aston
ishes me from the simple fact that ut
me, insisted that had nothing to say on
politics or anything else of the slightest
interest to the public, and gave him not
the remotest hint of my intentions as
regards voting. at the next election, or my
relations to the Independents. His
whole statement, so far as An expression
of my political views is concerned, is an
absolute fiction. The article you send
me speaks of Mr.. Croffut as the we'll
known poet and literateur That he was
acting strictly in the former of these two
capacities is evident from the fact that for
several weeks past. and especially since
the publication of Mr.. Biaine's letter of
acceptance, it has been we'll known to
my friends who have cared to ask that I
have fully determined to vote for the
Republican nominees. / have never
hesitated to express my respect for Gov
Cleveland and for his administration of
our state. Yet I cannot but regard him
as merely a happy accident in his
party, who will be as powerless against it
if he favors reform of civil service in
the Nation, as was Senator Pendleton. I
dare not cast a vote to bring in the party
which has opposed all the healthy a1d
statesmanlike measures of the last thirty
years, and which seemed to me sure,
should it come into power, to vitiate and
nullify the civil service system, which
has been SO happily carried out thus far,
and which can only be fully developed
by the Republican party in accordance
with the principles laid down in its plat
form and the virtual pledges contained
in Mr.. Blaine's letter. I remain very
truly yours, ANDREW D. WHITE.
