Soil and Climate.

The soil of the southern and southwcstcrn portions of the county is sandy loam, well and grapes. Fine springs abound in thi, re- zion. In the central and western portion. the soil is gray dirt, fertile and susceptible of easv cultivation. The soil of the northern part of Che county is varied. but is mostly red dirt and very fertile. The soil of Prairie De Anne is gray dirt, and adapted to small grain and grasses, the native grass on the open prairie yielding from two to three tons of fine hay per acre. There is some very fine black land on the southwest side of the prai- rc, though the red dirt land predominateS, The climate is salubrious and healthful. The thermometer never goes below six degrees above zero in the winter, and ranges from % to loo in the shade during the summer months.

Tue sday's Elections.

Tuesday, the 3rd, elections were held in a number of states, in some the entire state ticket, ill others only part. The ones most deeply affecting the interests of this coun- try were those of New York and Virginia, as it was a close fight be- tween the two parties in both.
 In New York, the latest tele- graphic news gives the state to the Fem, crats by q small majority, about 15,000. Only portions ot the state, accessible to the telegraph were heard from, ard it nay yet turn out that it went Republican. We hardly think this will be the case, however.
 In Virginia the fight is very close, and no definite or even ap- proxiination of the result Is given. Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee, the Demo cratic candidate, may be elected, or his opponent, Gen. Malone, may come in.

 at Resources.

M ENADA COUNTY was created by 1N anact of the GeuCral assembly, March 20, 1871, and is situated in the southwestern part of the state, being bounded on tbc east by Ouachta county, on the northeast and north by Clark, from which it is separated by Little Missouri river, on the west by lIcmpstcad, and on the south by Columbia. 1t has an area of about 610 square miles. and in 1880 had population of l3,000 inhabi- tants.
 Topography.
 The sW(phe of the country is generally un- duIating; few places being too broken for cultivation, or too level for drainage. The sorthorn half of the county covers the apeS of the watershed between the Ouachita and Red rivers: the small streams on the east ] side flowing to the tributaries of the Ouachi' 1 ia, and those on the west to the tributaries o 1 the Red All the branches and ri yulets of | the northern part flow to the Little Missouri ! Prairi De Anne a beautiful little inlanC prairie. seven miles long from east to west, l. situated in the northern part of the county 1 closely surrounding the to VII of Prescott ol the east, north and west.
 Water-Courses
 The principal water-course is Little Ms souri river, a beautiful stream which hn its source in the Caddo mountains. It flow in q southeastcrly direction, forming th' boundary line between Nevada and Clarl counties for long distance. Before the rail roads penetrated this section, small steamer navigated the river during the winter an' spring seasons. The land along the lnarsl of the river ts fertile and exceedingly wei timbcrcd. The bottom is q valuable stock range It has few lagoons and bavous, anc is not considered a sicllly stream. The Ierr' Rouge creek is the next largest stream. Il crosses the northern part of the county iron Missouri river The Caney creek drain. the central portion of the county, flowin! into the Little Missouri river from the west south of the Terre Rouge.

ga VITAL QUESTION"

In the early days of commerce,
communities we're well pleased if
they possessed natural waterways on
which to carry on their bartering and
exchange. This was when tho art of
constructing water crafts had become
so universally disseminated that tho
beast of burden was no longer called
upon to supply the wants of neighbor.
ing communities upon each other if
their domain bordered on common
waterways. In many instances artitico
was resorted to aud these waterways
created.
With time came improvements in
the methods of water transportation
until it seemed there could be no bel
ter or cheaper method for carrying on
this part of the worlds transaction.
But under the above headline the
Times Democat draws a comparison.
for the benefit of "communities desire.
Gus of commercial or industrial adj
vancement," between the situations OF
Philadelphia aud Chicago, showing the
rapid advancement of the latter, under
The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1885-09-26

the influence Of her "twenty-two indie
pendent trunk lines Of railway" even
in its "close proximity to the greatest
of American industrial centres," which
eau lay claim to only two trunk lines
connecting it with the West, South and
Southwest.
In the matter Of railway trunk lines,
the Times Democrat attributes Chi
cago's pluck and prosperity the main
method. The article, which gives the
subject in question clear showing,
raises the cry of vitality in con-
ncction with New Orleans, as to the
need of more railway communication
and lays special stress on the need OF
more railroad lines into the "neW
country opening up to the west Of u.s.
And il STATE 5 fast that Gas part Chicag Q
made money it went into Chicago rail-
way enterprises"
We are sorry to allude TO the fact,
but it becomes our duty to lecture
the Times Democrat for not helping
to give publicity to tho efforts that
are being made in this section of the
State and Southern Arkansas toward
building a North and South road.
One parish, Caldwell, has already
voted a tax of mills for 10 years to
aid such an enterprise and n like grant
has also been voted by the corpo ration
of this city, Monroe. A like PROPOSE,
ton will be submitted to the citizens
of this, Ouachita, parish ut an early
day.
We hardly think Chicago would be
as slow recognizing such a sentiment
among the people within its territory
as has New Orleans in recognizing our
en;leavors and those of tho people OF
southern Arkansas.
Yes, tho question of railroads has be-
come one of vitality even to New Or
leans, notwithstanding tho fact that
this city possesses more natural advan-
tagcs, as to Waterways, than any other
city in the world.

PROHIBITION MOVEMENT.
EMISSIONS Of the Law, and Substitution
Of Equally Dcictcrious Drinks
The Proper Remedy for
Drunkenness.
New ORLEANS, Sept, 10.


Editor Sunday States:
SIR:-Thc Louisiana ProhibitiOnists
held their annual meeting few days
ago, and by an ingenious error in the
report of morning contemporary were
represented as pledging themselves to
do all in their power to prevent the
abolition of the liquor traffic. The
members of this society arc however
very much in earnest, and whatever
may be tho probabilities of their at
tanning their ends, their we'll meant
efforts should command our respect.
Prohibition has indeed become one of
the absorbing topics of tho day, and a
brief review of the history of the qucs-
ton and its present position may not
be out of place.
The first National Temperance Con-
vcntion in the United States was held
at Philadelphia in 1888. 1t consisted
of four hundred delegates, a great mum
Der of whom were clcrgymcn. Reso-
futions wcrc carried denouncing the
use of ardent spirits AS a beverage, but
no objection was made to wine or to
malt liquors until 1886, when at the
Saratoga Convention the intcrtlict was
made to include stimulants of every
description.
Many States have experimental in
prohibition, which may bc said to have
originated in Maine in 1916. Neal
BOWS famous Maine liquor law camc
into operation in 1851 and was repealed
in 1856. Two years later, however,
tho temperance party were in the as
cendapt, and the State has remained
prohibitory ever since.
Delaware passed similar law in
lSi7, which was repealed in 1918 as un.
tuie finally Withdrawn in 1875.
Michigan's turn came in 1850, Massa-
chusetts' in 1862, Rhode Islands in
1852, Connecticut's in 1854; but in each
case the law was repealed after some
years experience. New York Joined
the cause in 1854, and Governor Sey-
mour vetoed tho bill, which passed the
Legislature again in 1876 and was
affirmed in 1856. The Mayor of New
York City declined to enforce it, and
rs in other States, it was eventually re.
pealcd.
Next camc Indiana with a prohibit
tory law in 1865, declared null and
void by tho Supreme Court soon after
Vermont, Now Hampshire, Illinois,
Kansas, Iowa, ctc., have undergone
similar experiences, while even as We
write the question has assumed uncx-
ampled Importance in the political
campaign in Ohio.
AT tho present moment tho States
where the movement is in practical
operation, are Maine, Kansas, and
Iowa.
Maine, for years the banner State OF
tho cause, adopted Il constitutional
amendment last fall, and now stands
forever pledged 10 temperance princi
pies.
This was the celebrated occasion on
which Mr.. Blaine ycfrained from
voting, much to the Indignation OF
both sides. AS the spot to which pro-
hibitionists proudly point in vindica-
ton of their principles, it would be
natural to expect m excellent showing
here. While, however, tho state is
less troubled with drunkards and with
crime than most others, ihurc is little
to show that this is directly due to
tho liquor law. Stimulants, spirits
especially, are interdicted only in
name. Systematic attempts at evasion

GENERAL NOTES.

The mormons have been treated to an
other setback in their scheme to retail
late on federal officials and prominent
gentiles. The prosecutions of the latter
on the charge of lewd and lascivious
conduct have been going on vigorously
in the mormon courts lately, the de-
PENDANTS in every case appealing to
the district court. The United States
district attorney in Salt Lake City refus-
ed to prosecute these cases, saying
they had been brought through spite,
the accused having been entrapped by
mormons who hired prostitutes TO
inveigle susceptible gentiles.. He NOV
ed to dismiss the appeals and release
the defendants. Chief Justice Zane
granted the motion and read a lecture
to the mormon officials and others who
had put up the job on the gentiles.
He denounced the conspiracy in strong
terms, and declared that the prosecu-
tons were not in the interest of moral
ity. The mormons are much Disguised,
