The following sensible comments
on the operation of the three mile
law, we clip from the Ozark Demo-
Gratis Mulberry correspondent:
Some folks say that prohibition
won't prohibit We say it does. And
to prove it: If it don't prohibit why
don't some one open saloon here in
Mulberry? The reason is plain TO
all why such is not the case. Men
say Chat is all thatthere is as much
wisky drank in Mulberry as there
was when we had saloons. What is
Sc jugs full compared to rs barrels
of whisky Not the tenth drink now
as when we had saloons. OF course
men drink on the sly. Mulberry has
had the satisfaction of seeing peace
and quietude at least for two years
and may it long be such.

committee meets IN Washington City
on the I'D Of February 70 determine
the time and place az holding the
national democratic convention in

the meeting Of the republican con.
vention, is moving for the democratic
convention also, while st. Louis y
pressing her claims and several other
places spoken Of. but Chicago and
st. Louis appear to DO in the lead.
1t is significant that all national con-
ventions come west, while the east
with its policies is powerful in poll
tics still it cannot control a national
convention to an eastern city.

A BILL has passed the senate do
mating a part of the old military res
ervation at Fort Smith to the city for
school purposes. Why wouldn't II
be equally as just for congress to
make like disposition of the Indian
reservation lying a mile and half
southwest of Russellville to us for
the same purpose. Perhaps united
effort on the part of our people would
accomplish something. 1t is an eff
fort worth making anyway. Judge
Rogers having used his ability in the
procurement of the advantage to
Fort Smith, would doubtless serve us
if we would only act, and act yigor
ously for ourselves. Who will lead
ont in the matter?
The Russellville Democrat., 1884-01-31

In commenting on the election of
Speaker Carlisle in recent issue
the DEMOCRAT happened to observe
that sit had just as well be published
to the world that the democi attic
party has stepped out on positive
ground and proposes to fight it out
on that line hereafter" Whereupon
the Perryville News works itself up
to a high pitch and talks of war on
democrats who do not follow Henry
Watterson, etc. We simply meant
to say that the party had for once
had the courage of its convictions,
had acted in harmony with its profess
sion, and the great majority had con-
cl1ded to have the say SO in manning
the vessel. We thought it matter
of public information that the demo-
cratic party by the great volume of
its past history was committed to the
doctrine of tariff reform, and the
election of Speaker Carlisle simply
voiced the sentiment Of the party.
1t remained for the News to discover
that tariff reform, or tariff for rev.
enue only, was not democratic doc
thine.

/. Opposition to the antidog law now
before the Massachusetts, Legislature
is the overshadowing sensation. Let
those Bay State men be warned by
the tate of statesmen elsewhere. No
local legislator anxious to dodge OBJ
livion will connect his name with any
measure designed to discourage dog
culture Il Gazette.
We have yet to hear from the Ar
kansas statesman who is anxious to
nail the dog law to the masthead Of
his political craft. If dog culture
had been profitable wouldn't this
country have been all right.
The Russellville Democrat., 1884-01-31


WHAT deception there is in the cry
of the eastern manufacturer for tariff
protection. His plea before the
country is that he must have it, or
else reduce his. labor to the basis of
the pauper labor Of Europe, while in
point of fact this reduction has al
ready been made. In Lehigh county,
Pennsylvania, recently the wages of
miners in the iron ore mines were
reduced from rs cents to 65 cents a
day, and yet these men enjoying the
bounty Of tariff protection on iron
ore, have the impotence to pirate
about the small wages and pauper la
Dor of Europe. Away with such,
and let the tariff reform roll on.

FINANCIAL straits or somethin

FINANCIAL straits or something
else is playing havoc with mercan-
tile gentlemen in various parts of the
state. One big failure at Little Rock,
Quinn Bros; one at Ozark, j. A. Da-
Gus; one big one at Fort Smith, three
at Charleston and others at other
points. If it keeps on 'S4 will be
found to be a good year for failures.
Russellville merchants meantime
keep on the even tenor of their way.

Tnr following We clip from = s..
Louis commercial paper showing the
importance 81 the great Mississippi
valley, and the strong claims which
the Mississippi river will ever have
upon the government for improve.
ments. sncb as to protect and reclaim
its millions Of acres of land subject
to overflow for want Of proper pro-
lection:
The Mississippi valley embraces
more than a million and half Of
square miles, and population Of
more than 28.000,000 souls. This
territory is an empire Of itself, and
this population the nucleus to which
is being gathered aud accumulated
much the largest portion of the i'm
migration now flowing to this coun-
try xill be seen by reference to
another portion OF this paper that
manufacturing in st. Louis is in a
fIourishlng condition; and there is no
raw material entering into manufac-
lures of any kind that caunot be put
down here quite as cheaply as at any
other point in the country. St. Louis
stands already at the head of the list
as manufacturing center for tobac.
co, -four, beer, saddIery white lead
and fire clay goods; she Is among the
most important centers in the manu-
facture of wagons; and there are pc
cuIiar advantages which she possess
cs that should make her take front
rank in The manufacture Of all sorts
of glassware. One of the largest
sugar renneries in the country is
here in full and successful operation;
and St. Louis should rival Fall River
and Providence In the number Of
cotton mills and the value Of their
output. 1t. is true st. Louis has
nearly 10000 miles of railroad tribu-
tary to her, but it is also true that in
the matter of freight discrimination
and terminal facilities she is outra-
geously handicapped, but these will
become regulated in due course.
With cheaper fuel and larger increase
OF manufacturing establishments,
skilled labor would become abund
ant, and workmen would discover
that the cost of living here was as
cheap or cheaper than in any other
city in the country.
