The Popular Candidate.

Reports from all quarters clearly and enthusiastically point to T. C. McRae as the choice of the Democ- racy of this district for Congress. The outlook for him has continued to daily grow brighter and bright CT, until now, if his friends will only be active and yigilant, his nomination is assured. Every where, and by almost everybody, he is regarded as worthy of and deserving the nomination. His ability has been amply proven, his zeal and devotion to principle stand unquestioned, and his char acter IS known to be above re- proach. He is not only recognized as sound and serviceable ~Congres- sional timber now, but, being comparatively young ill years, Ire is regarded by thoughtful men as the only aspirant for the nonina- ton in whom there can possibly be any future outcome. Nothing but the indifference and inactivity of those who prefer him to either of his honorable competitors can de. priyc him of the nomination..

An Unclaimed Reward.

Not That Kind of a Horse.

Hon. EuGeneE. White is spoken of as . dark horse in the Congressional contest now progressing in the IlId Distlict.-Sheridan Headlight,
 The gentleman named is not that kind cf horse, although, as the Headlight says, he may be some times spoken of as such by friends, and also by men who, for obvi- ous reasons, would not vote for him, He is opposed to dark horses as a rule, and in this con test in particular. There will be no emergency for nag" of that hue at the approaching Congress sional convention. The people are willing to take one of the ayowed candidates. By the time the con vention comes on the known can didates will have been before the people of the whole district and made their aspirations, claims, and fitness, or uniitness, for the posi- ton known to them, and given them an opportunity to choose be tween them. And the Democrats of the district will have said in their respective township prima. ries and county conventions: "Giye us one of these and which one. Yes, the sombre-hued steeds may stand aside in this contest. There will be no wrangling, and no deadlock in the convention One of the regular candidates the unqucstioned choice of the district will be nominated, and his name will be T. c. McRae. We repeat; The Headlights friend and the friend to the Headlight is not a dark horse. So far as our knowl- edge extends, he has never been accused of being more than one kind of horse at a time, and we are authorized to communicate the fact to those who are not already aware of it, that in this contest he is a McRae horse first, last, and all the time.

No Doubt About It.

In very ingeniu3 and witty re. tort, olicited by certain obscrya- tions on the part of tue Monticcl' lonian to the effect that Bradley county would instruct for the Drew county candidate for Con- gress, Swift's Flying Needle says:
 The Nonticellonan is guessing, or the peo- pie ot good old Bradley talk two ways. As an editor, We have been very anxious to learn the sentiments of the people of the county we live iu, and long before MT, Bar. 1er was candidate, and before he get to be so dear to the editor of the Manticclonian we began inquiring of each and every man who was their choice for Congress, and W, have kept it up until to-day, and NC say it beeauseit is so, and because we know oi what we speak, and without guessing, that Tom McRao is Bradley county's choicc-wil be her choice at the primary, and she will bi solid for McRac at the Congressional oloc ton
 There is no doubt about Bradley county. l t will be for McRae first, last, and all the time. And so will at least ten other counties.

We Believe il Not.

There seems to be an apprehen- sion in some quarters that the Board of Trustees of the Arkansas Industrial University were merely indulging in a braken piece of mako-believe when they vacated all the chairs of the faculty except that of the President, at their meeting during Commencement Week. The fear Is that this acton was intended simply as technical compliance with the provisions of an Act of the late General Assem- ply, requiring reorganization ot the faculty, and that it is the inten' ton of the Trustees to fill the chairs again, at their meeting in Little Rock on the Sd of July for that purpose with the same people whom they have but so recently removed. We can but view this apprehension in the ligbt of an in. justice to tho Trustees, every one of whom we believe to be beyond all doubt too honest and too hon orable to thus attempt to thwart the will of the people so clearly and so unmistakably expressed through the Legislature. through the press, and through every other medium open to them. We do not, and cannot, believe that a single one of the discharged pro fessors, assistants, instructors, or superintendents. will be re-employ ed. because the Trustees are per fectlY aware that, for obyi- ous reasons. it would not be for the best interests of the University to do so, no matter how efficient they may be, or how free they may have kept themselves from dissen- sions in the faculty heretofore. A clean sweep of tue faculty except President Edgar, is de- handed, and we confidently expect

Gen. King White as a Reformer.

It is both amusing and gratlty- ing to read of Mayor King Whites reformation of the financial, sani. tary, and law and order affairs of the city of Pine Bluff. Almost from slime whence the memory oi man runncth not to the contrary" gross inoompetency, proiiigacy aud corruption, have characterized the municipal government of that thrifty and wonderfully recupera- tive little city. But being 2 city of tue first class, it has just had to take on q new form of government, as prescribed by the city bill passed by the late General Assem- bly,, which invests the May or with greatly enlarged powers and fortunately the people seized upon the opportunity to effect a complete change in every respect, and elected Gen. White the first Mayor under the new regime. And, if reports be true, he is about to prove to them that i'll this they builded much wiser than they knew. He has strengthened out the financial affairs of the city, greatly improved it's sanitary con dition, removed all unsightly ob- iects and Instructions from the thoroughfares, closed up all the gambling places; and as for the crowds of drunken, protane and boi5terous negroes who used to block the sidewalks, i'll the good humored language of one of their own number; "Go way chiiluns Doan de coons hab to trot now, doe '"
 Inasmuch as Gen. White has
 
 never masqueraded before the pub- lie as rcformer, and is known to be somewhat wild" himself, it is not at ali strange that lis retorma- ton of the moral atmosphere, es- pecially, of Pine Bluff should ere ate some surprise. But the Gen- eral is a broad-gauge thoroughbred in whatever he undertakes, and, as a friend at our elbow suggests, no doubt he would serve the church with great zeal if he was permitted to rule it. The great pity is that Little Rock and Hot Springs have not each got a King White foI mayor.

THERE is no longer doubt in any quarter that our illustrious At torney-General looks with absolute disdain upon the spike-tail coat, But, if late reports be not basely false, he grows strangely confused when Miss Phoebe Couzens, the St. Louis female lawyer, comes sailing into the Department of Jus tice to see how much longer her ' pa can hold on to the position of United States Marshal, But as a citizen of Arkansas, and of the To- cahty where the Attorney-Genoral used to wear bare-fcet and "pat juba" for the piccaninnies, We positively cannot disown him on that account, In fact we feel very much constrained to advisehim that Miss Ph1be's pa is one Marshal in whom he ought to take some little interest.

HELLO! A late discovery has convinced our distinguished fellow townsman, Hon. k. K. Garland that. in order to save the country his time, he must immediately free the negroes again. He has just "got wind" of the unacCountable disap- pearance of House Bill No. l6 from Senator McConnell's desk on the last day of the session of the Legislature. And, as might have been expected, he pro- nounces it "the growing act of Democratic infamy." This makes about the thirty-fifth Growing act of Democratic infamy" in lcgisla- ton within the past five years, But the strange thing is that the eagle eyes of our ever watchtul and alert friend and neighbor persis- t,enay refused for more than two long months to see any account oi this aet ,until they could behold il in tue TeNarkana Independent, In two co5umn letter to the lnde' pendent, dated June 18th, he says he has laasned from "a late issueo of taas paper Of the disappearance of the bill iQ suestlGn.

Called Home to His Fathers.

Lacking but a few months of having passed his four score years and ten, MT. Wm E. Woodruff, ST., the venerable founder of the Ark ansas Gazette, quietly and peace fully yielded up his Ii e at his home in Little Rock at s o'clock last Fri day morning, the 10th inst. The name of Mr. Woodruff is inscpara- bly, interwoven with the history Ot Arkansas from her earliest days almost to the present decade. I'm media.ely after the passage of the Act ofC6pgress creating Arkansas Territory, he came to Arkansas Post, the capital, and there in 1919, commenced the publication of the Gazette, and for the next forty years he was nearly all the time the most conspituous figure in the State. He was an exceptionally upright and honorable man, and he perhaps did more than any other one man to give caste and charac- ter to the young Territory and State. His death, though not nn- expected, is universally mourned.
