filled by executive appointment. Perryville News:
 We don't believe that persons should be selected to fill official posi-. tions on account of their private oc. equations or calling, but solely on account of their fitness for the posi- tion. We hase no patience with the demagegue who tries to array one class against another by telling the people to elect farmers to office, nor with the petti logger who says that farmers are not qualified for official positions. We have known many farmers in the legislature, who were an honor to the position, and we have known professional men who were incompetent--in fact our ob- servation has taught us that in all honest callings there are good mate. rial for officers, and that in all these are men utterly unfit for any posi- tiob. It will usually be found when the declaration is made that offices ought to be filled from those of a certain calling, that the party msk-
 ing it himself belongs or pretends to
 belong to that class and wants an. office, and wants it badly.

INasmuch as the state constitu- tion provides for the enactment of a law by the legislature, prohibiting the issuance of free passes to state officials, the people cannot see why the provision should not be carried out. They may see but few dangers connected with the free pass, but with no free pass, they see none. As for legislators, the thing that origi hated the agitation of the question, they see no use for the free pass at all except to put a few more dollars in the legislators pocket, which he collects for mileage, which the state allows and pays him. The state pays the mileage which the free pass puts in the mans pocket.

 A New Orleans, Little Rock Dem ocrat correspondent says: Arkansas has fruit display, consisting of 300 plates, embracing over 200 varieties of apples, and 400 jars of preserved fruits, which Is by far the best, as well as the largest, exhibit made by any State, or State horticultural so- ciety, at the Worlds Exposition. Rev. H. R. Withers pastor of the Methodist church in Hot Springs, l informs the Little Rock Gazette cor respondent that he was msrepresent- ed by some of the published reports anent the faith cure as applied to his son, recently deceased. He says the skill of physicians and the power of medicine had been invoked in vain, and that he resorted to prayer in the eleventh hour, beseeching the prolongation of the patients life in order that his spiritual welfare might be enhanced. or course he invoked complete restoration to health, but the prayer was made sub servient to the will of God. The main object was to invoke chance l for the invalid to prepare for the fu- ture, and Dr. Withers says his son lived four weeks and died with the consciousness and belief that hls sins had been forgiven. The scriptural 1 injunction which says that the sick may be prayed for and saved, was literally carried out, and Dr. Withers expresses the belief that his son Twas spiritually saved, if not physic. ally healed and therefore the prayer was effective.

 Think of the $l2,000 expended upon the brick building at Clarks vile. It is the glory of the town and says, No diminution of school sen timent heie.' Then go to Ozark and survey the $l0,000 building there. Think of the love winch placed $I0,000 in such structure. Then look at the $25,O00 building gSing up at Ft. Smith. Behold the $6,000 house at Rogers. Then thlnk Of the others: Russellville, $S,000; Morrilton, $4,000: DardaneIle, $20,- 900; Helena, $25,0o0; 1axarkaua, $l5,000; Hope, sl0,000; Prescott, 5000, and many others all over the country. Then ponder that nearly all of these have been put up during the last two years. Then ask your self the question: "Is the sentiment for or against the public schools2" Then travel through the country and sec the number of new houses erect ed last year. Where the money goes freely there the affection of the heart IS. Judged by these standards the public school system Is like Old Red Sandstone, "deeply laid and detisnt"

LAST year the county democracy in New York City elected the ticket in the local election by about fifteen thousand majority and everything looked like Tammany had been bur ried for good. But this year the ta bes turned and Tammany elected It's ticket by just about the same ma jority, which gives it it's usual prest. ige and power in the politics of New York City and state.

 In recent suit between the Ar kansas Telegraph company and tine Western Union in the chancery court, wherein the latter attempted to prevent the former from putting it's line along side of the Arkansas Valley railroad, decision was ren. dered in favor of the Arkansas Tele- graph company. Backed by this decision of the court, that new tele, graph company commenced the cree, tion of poles along the Iron Noun tain near Malvern, for the purpose of putting line to Hot Springs. But httIe work had been done until a construction train on the Iron Noun tain came along and tore down the poles and filled up the holes. An other attempt was made by the Ar kansas Telegraph company to put up their poles from Little Rock south, but the construction train hands also tore those down. In consequence of this, bad blood exists and President Douglass of the new company says he intends to put up the line If the whole State militia is required to protect him in doing so. Mir. Doug. iass and his company are sustained by law, and the State will protect them at all hazards, and before the Iron Mountain and Western Union are through with this game of bluff, and It's effects, it will cost them more than their entire telegraph line in tue State s worth.

THE Chicago Tribune published a batch of islander and lies about the South and Arkansas especially, from
 the pen of one Kellogg, well known as one of the worst specimens of the unprincipled carpet -baggers in Lou isiana, and then refused to admit communication of a highly respect ed citizen of Arkansas offered in refutation of the charges. It shows the bitterness and unfairness of a bloody shirt sheet, and its want of principle, and justice when it can
 lend itself ready messenger to pro mulgate islander and close it's col umns to an effort for fair hearing.

ONE of the remarkable political events of the times is the retirement of that pIumed knight, sachem of Tammany Hall, Johnathan Kelly. He no longer wields the scepter over that fiery, troublesome organization. On his retirement Mir. Chas. E. Leow was placed in his shoes. which 1t may be remarked will be hard to be worn in the same way that they have been worn for the last quarter of century. Tammany Hall may be grieved over their boss's retire ment, but we ain't, and we would be much less than we are, his methods could be retired with him.

In many instances the opiun-eat- ing habit has been contracted through the use of narcotics, pre- scribed by physicians during sick ness. Many remedies which claim to cure coughs contain morphia or opium, and it can easily be under stood what a bad effect they must have on children. The new remedy,
 Red Star Cough Cure, is entirely free from these dangerous ingrcdi ents, and the mass of testimony which has already been collected in it's favor from all parts of the coun try is proof of it's wonderful purity and efficacy.

Figures won't lie, and figures show that the business condition of the country has improved very markedly since the Democratic Administra tion came into power, Railroad bonds and stocks have advanced 25 per cent. and more Tn price since Cleveland was elected; Government bonds are 1 to , per cent. higher than at that date; bank clcarings are 20 to 30 per cent, greater; and the weekly mercantile failures are 20 to 30 per cent. iess than at that time. This is why people smile now when Republican stump orators turn on the old time gas about the ruin that menaces the country from Democrat ic ascepdancy.

 Washington was interviewed and voiced his sentiments as follows:
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-Senator James H. Berry, of Arkansas, arriv- ed to-day accompanied by Congress- man Rogers, of the Fort Smith dis trict. The senator says his people are very we'll pleased with the ad- ministration, but they believe the changes In their state, notably the registers and receivers of the land offices, should be made at once. The district attorneys and marshals have been removed, and he thinks the whole work should be hurried up. He is against the suspension of sil- yer coinage, and does not believe in disturbing the existing laws upon that subject in any way. He is a low-tariff man, and says Carlisle will get the entire delegation for speak er.-Courier Journal.
