NOTWITHSTANDING the innumer- able jokes of which the game law has been the subject, it is beyond question more popular, and is be- ing more universally observed, than any statute ever enacted in this State that made so great an innovation upon what minimizing men had grown to regard as a vested right-the right to kill game whenever and wherever they pleased, The game and fish are a part of the resources of the coun- try-for one man as. much as for another-and their protection from waste had already been too long neglected. In the passage of this law Arkansas was years behind every other State in the Union.

4 Grateful Il oth CT.

My little boy when only two years old had what was said to be a stroke of paralysis, eflecting his right limb, and for many months he could not walk. His health be- came exceedingly feeble. No ono dreamed Ire would ever recover from his misfortuue2 and hope had left my own heart of ever rearing him to manhood. Finally he com menced to use his limbs a little, but the ankle joint had become i'm potent, and in attempting to walk his foot would turn to one side, and the ankle bone would touch the floor. With that anguish which only a mother can feel, first req. lized he was to be cripple all lis life. With the aid of steel ankle brace he was enabled to get around Ii4C uONSG' lIIS hCdltli was tUU' pletely shattered. and with an aching heart and grayest apprehen- sion l watched the livid expression of cOuntengo. What widowed mother S affection could do was done. but with little permanent benefit. Being assured by friends that Swlft'S Specific would do him good. through their kindness SC cured seyeral bottles. I commence ed to give it to my child about the first of last July l8S4). The first bottle acted like charm upon lis system. After tho second bottle his complexion cleared up and strength began to increase, He threw away his braces several months ago, aud now walks better than he ever did with it. The an. kle joint has regained it's strength and the foot it's proper position, and the large lump on the ankle caused by friction and unnatural use, has disappeared. He is now in his sixth year; his health is as good and he is as lively as any child of his age. He has taken six bottles of s. $. s. only, but the change has been wonderful, and everybody who had seen him be. fore he commenced to take the medicine are astonished at his ap- pearance now. For the first time since his illness l feel in my heart the hope of rearing hime: With devout gratitude 10 Him who gave him, l bless the day I ever heard of this remedy. It has saved my child.

None More Deserving.

The Little Rock Democrat, in an editorial paragraph favorable to the nomination of I. c. McRae for Congress, in a recent issue, made the statement that "no man in Ar kansas of equal prominence has held office so little; no man de- serves more to hold it."
 This is absolutely true. Except to represent Nevada county in the Legislature one term. Mir. McRle has never held any civil or political office, and yet men most capable of judging of the ability, qualified tions and fitness of men for impor- tant public trusts, unhesitatingly pronounce him the best equipped man for the position to which he aspires now out of Congress, not only in the Third district, but in the whole State.
 In urging his nomination, Mir. McRae's friends invite the closest scrutiny and the most careful con sideration of his varied abilities, his sterling integrity, his unwaver- ing fidelity, his high moral charac' ter, his matchless zeal, his pure patriotism, his ceaseless energy his lofty ambition, and his inde fatigable industry. All these, and more, we hold up as benefits to enure to his constituency by reason of his nomination and election And to choose him would be tC choose a representative fresh iron the people.

Repent Ye Your Pantering.

The Little Rock papers are just now crying out against unjust dis. crimination on the part of the railroads against their city. We doubt not that they have good cause for complaint, but if it will hurt pobody's feelings we would like 10 enquire if these same pa pers, the Gazette and the Demo crat, did not "panter" to the rail roads last winter when there was some talk in the Legislature of passing a law to prevent just such discrimination as they are now complaining of. Come now, boys, be honest! Didn't you "panter" just a ''leetle' bltl

Score Another One for Garland and
 Cleveland.

The appointment of Lawyer Montgomery, of Cali fornia, to be Assistant Attorney General for the Dep artment of the Interior, gave rise to much ad- verse criticism of the Attorney General by a number of the metro politan journals of the country. Some of these papers, notably the New York Herald, in the matter of the appointm ent of Mir. Montgom. cry, dId not only criticise Mir. Cleveland, and tender him much advice, bat were ip the eXtremest degree denunciatory of MT, Gar land. They all eged that there Were but three reasons for the selection of Mr. Montgomery. The first was that he was a schoolfetlow of Mr. Garland's; the second, that he was a rabid secessionist all through the late war; and the third, that he was the author of certain public utterances inimical to the free school systems of the country. But in due course of time the tru tn commenced to leak out, and the consequence is MT. Garland and the President are now receiving proper credit for wise and aus picious appointment which, but for these criticisms. might, and most probably would, have been comparatively unnoticed.
 The facts seem 10 be that when the California monopolists, with Judge Field, the lnspirer of the New York Herald, at their head, called on Mir. Garland to protest against the appointment they first called attention to Mir. Montgom- ery's pamphlets attacking certain features of the California school law. MT. Garland remarked that he had read those pamphlets and had found them interesting and in structive, but did not learn from them that the author was at all an enemy of the public schools. As to the religious phase of Mir. Mont gomery's opinions on the subject, he would as soon think of making that gentleman's views on the question of infant baptism test of his fitness to act as the legal ad- wiser of the Interior Department. Then the real cause of the obiec- ton to the distinguished Californi- an came out, and 1t was charged that, as member of the Cali fornia Constitutional Conven- ton, or in some other public olutions attacking corpora te body, he had introduced res property''-that is to say, the hold ing of vast areas of land in mort main, or something of that sort. This charge seems to have designa- ! ted Mir. Montgomery as the very man the Attorney-General was looking for, and 1t was immediate ly reported that he would resign if the President refused to make the appointment. It was about time to put the Interior Depart meat under the direction of some able legal adviser who would not be overawed and overpowered by the peculiar views of those arch monopolists, Judge Field and his brother Cyrus, in regard to the blasphemy of questioning the all embracing and Self.eXalting divini- ty of corporation powers. It may be surmised that hereafter the De- pertinent Of the Interior will cease to act upon the theory that the land-grabbing corporations have an inherent right and an indefeasi- ble title to the earth and to all the fatness thereof. Hence we may well say, score another one for Garland and Cleveland.

Congressman Jones' Successor.

Special Dispatch to the Globe-Denocrat,
 Hor STRINGS, ARK, May 3l.-Therc is an interesting contest in the Third Cungressic{Tal District for the Democratic nomination tagll the place made vacant by the electioS ol Representative James K, Jones to the Unfsed States Senate. Primaries and conventioas will be held in all the counties in the distri& during the month of June. Hon. Tn IS. ,eC. McRse of Prescott, and Judge J. T. Bea eln of Camden are evidently the foremost aspi rants, and the scramble between them prom. iscs to be animated. 4 joint canvass has been arranged for, and will commence this week, Meanwhile the independent element is quietly grooming a candidate in the person of Hon. w. F. Parks, of Louisville, who was the Fusion candidate for Governor in 1880. The district is rather close with full vote, and the Democratic nominee is not destined to a walk-oyer. The election will, it is ex- pected, occur in September.
 It will be observ ed that the op- position is alluded to in this tele- gram as "the independent ele. ment." That is the usual term, but it invariably and universally means the Repu blican party as the nucleus and all tho dissatisfied factions and fragments as the con tingent force. It is apparent that the sender of this telegram is per fectly familiar with the situation in this district, and knows whereof he writes.
 \ careful survey of the field will convince any thinking man that 1t would be by no means impossible under all preaent existing circum- stances for the opposition to elect their candidate. This being true, and the fact standing confessed that when tho people of this Union voted for a change of administra- tion, they meant a change all along the line, and in view of the fur. ther fact that all these oific ing partisans arc liable to, and de. serve, immediate removal for cause, we hope the President will at once put them upon their own resources. Then if they wish to groom" an opposition candidate, and see proper to contribute the money for his canvass, it will be their privilege to do so, and no Democrat will be found in the district to complain of their full, l free and complete exercise of that 1

Extreme partisans in the Third
 District.

In the matter of appointments, the President seems to be proceed ing upon the idea that no Federal off co. holder should be removed or suspended from his office before the expiration of his commission, except for cause. But he, at the same time, holds that extreme par. tisanship in politics is a violation of the civil servics act, and, there fore, sufficient ground for suspen- sion or removal.
 In this general idea, and in this construction and application of the law, we can not say that we disa gree with the President. In fact we fully aud heartily concur with him. And tais being his policy. his attention shoald be invited to the fact that al election for a rep resentative in Congress is soon to take place in the Third district ol Arkansas, which district is, aal has been for years, full O. the ex- tremest of extreme Federal off se- holding partisans-partis of the reconstruction, c,rpet-bag school of 1868, who, at the time of their appointment to o1l3e here. had no interest in, or identity with, the country, anl who, with oaly two or three exceptions, hlve non now, beyond that which they fee in their off positions. ne should, without further delay, be made aware that for seventeen years these man have subsi stet upon offices here in q district where if the offices had been elective they never could have occupied a sin gle one of them; that during the whole of this long term they have not only paid their political assesJ m ments with the greatest alacrit, and liberality, but have worked actively, without regard to meth ods. through every campaign, and constituted the skill, the daring, the audacity, the utter unscrupu lousness, and the adroit leader ship, of the opposition to Democ raey in every contest, He shouls know also that the Third district formerly the Second is, and al ways has been, the closest anC most hotly contested one in ths State-in fact one of the closes and most hotly contested districts in the South. And as evidence that the election of a Democratic President has in no degree dimin- ished the partisan zeal of these men, his attention should be called to the following special tele gran from Hot Springs Republican t the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
