The TeNarkana IndependeHt shall not mohopoliZe the inttrrb- gati0n point. Does it propose to read Senator Norwood out of the SreenbaCk party for voting to sus- tain the Governors veto of the bill To abolish the boards of equalization? Let it cleanse @ it's Town party before it undertakes to purify the democratic party. Or has It a party noW?-Nashington Press.
 As previously stated, the nomi, nation of Gen. Butler by the greenback party came near knock ing our party and our politics ''higher nor a kite;" and if it is true that Senator Norwood did vote to sustain that veto of Gov. Hughes to the bill abolishing the boards of equalization, we are more than ready 10 exclaim from "politics and politicians, Good Lord, deliver usr' If he did vote to sustain that veto, 1t is not nee essary for us 10 tread him out of the greenbaci, party" for the vote accomplish all of the reading nee essary to be done, for we will ven. ture the assertion that he is the only grtcnbacGer in the state that favors the equalization boards.
 We failed to see names of the senators voting on the veto--if it was ever published. we overlooked it, and trust that our contempary IS not correct when 1t iintimates that Senator Norwood voted to sustain 1t, for we venture the as- sertion that go out of every 100 men that voted for him are oppos- ed to tire equalization boards, and We would regret to know that the senator voted so directly ill cotlict with those who elected him.-Tex- arkana Independent.
 Senator Norwood called at our office Tuesday te rencw his sub scriptlon, and after reading the above he informed us that he did most emphaticdiiy, vote to sustain that veto of Gov. Hughes, and that he was ready to defend himself that he would explain his position on the subject through the col. umns of the PICAYUNE soon. The Senator says the Independent is at perfect liberty to read him out, on that vote, tbat he will furnish the corpse hundred and eigh ty pounds-and he thinks it will b, a lively one for tke Independen, man to handle.

The Youngest Can t'se It.

My child, when about one month old, was afflicted, with a dreadful breaking out on one side of his face. l took him to the doctor, who did not think there was much the matter, but the child continued to grow worse. The little fellow was suffering so much and was so tretful that we had no rest night or day. We consulted other phys. icians and they.did what they could but brought no relief to the little sufferer. l tried everything at hand or that l could hear of, but without the desired effect. About this time l saw an advertisement of SwiCfs Specific. It was recom- mcnded for skin diseases. pur- chased four bottles. The first bot tle did him a great deal of good. After using the third bottle the ais ease entirely disappeared, and the child is now perfectly well. l would recommend $. $. s. as a house hold remedy, as it has brought both health and happiness to my own.

TURQUOISE.

Where the Valuable Mineral Is Found and
How 1t l. Mined.
The first historic record of turquoise
mining in Persia occurs about the tenth
century. A. d.. and for ages has been
one of The most important sources OF
wealth in that country. The Persian
name for the stone is firvoz, and the
mines now worked are the same as
those worked eight hundred years ago.
They are found in herman and khor-
assam. though the former are now
almost abandoned. the light green
color and early fading making them of
small value. These mines are of great
depth and access TO them is hazardous.
The Persians and the people of tho
United States prize the darkest stones,
while in Europe those of a fine light
blue, of medium intensity, are pr
ferred. The former are more rare and
retain their color longer. Although in
general, s:ze has much to do with tn
value of a torquoise, color is the tina
test that fixes the price. There is a
torquoise now in the bazaars no larger
than a pea valued at eight hundred
dollars. All the mines in Persia are
farmed by officers connected with tho
Persian Government They paw .
yearly rental to the Shah of eighteen
tomans, or thirty thousand dollars.
There are no other mines known in
modern times that have produced
stones of noted value, or in any guam
tity, except the mines Of New Mexico.
The New Mexico mines are two in
number, and are located about eighteen
mile southwest of Santa Fe, inthe
Cerrillos mining district, being known
as the Chalchuitl and the Castilian.
The history of the former mine is very
interesting, associated, as it is. with
the earliest Spanish conquests. where
avarice and cruelty resulted in bring
ing about great loss of life and many
reyerses to the Spaniards.
This mine was probably largely
worked BY the Aztecs more than three
hundred years ago, so that in 1910.
when Coronado and his followers pene-
trated into this country and captured
(after severe siege) the present city
of Santa Fe. then a populous Indian
village, their cupidity was aroused. and
enslaving their poor captives for more
than a hundred years, the gloomy re-
cesses of the mine were thickly popu-
lated by the hapless race. lashed by the
most cruel of taskmasters.-.Minng

A Peru-stfr.

II has possibly escaped general attention
that a gentleman by the name Of Caceres
has been leading a rebellion against the
government In Peru, South America.
A revolution in one of those Latin repub-
lies has generally so little interest for out
siders that sometimes it is not fairly noticed
till either the government is overthrown or
the political banditti are routed and the
ringleaders shot or hanged. These South
American outbreaks are too usual to be al
tractive for anything but their obituaries.
The announced obituary Of Caeeres's rev.
olution has brought it to notice. He had o
large force. He fought several important
battles. and achieved considerable successes.
But he is now alleged to have suffered de
cisive defeat. and his government .io have
surrendered TO the Government His revo-
luton appears to have been crushed, and
the post-mortcm becomes an item of inter-
esting news
But p. S.-Since the above writing, with
the suddenness with which S. A. revolu-
tons whifile about, Caceres seems to have
taken strategic in-tum on the government
forces. whipped them, and taken up his
victorious march toward the capital. His
rebellion has therefore Unexpectedly loOmed
Into notice by virtue of its obituary, and
the movements Of the corpse will now
lsooably be observed by the world with

as high as the Nendome Column, and
