No. 90 1t is pleasure for us to be able to
say that, of all patent medicine enterprises,
the Satanic Medicine Company of Little Rock,
leads the van. When we think of the great
good they are doing. both fer their hundreds OF
workmen and the millions of sick people we
come to the conclusion that they are real ben
efactors. 1t is certified to that only one dose
of their Satanic will cure the chllls. Those
afflicted with this tormenting malarial trouble
should come q "runnin'" to our druggists for
the medicine. AS far as we are concerned, we
hope their medicine will replace all others of
their kind, because the money this home firm
makes out Of it will rebound to the pecuniary
interest OF every citizen of Arkansas.-Alnad

OUR TROOPS At PANAMA.

On Friday United States troops entered
the: city Of Panama, drove cut the insur-
gents, and took possession of the streets
and public avenues. There was no
reason for surprising that the act

With that city in the possession of insur-
gents, neither passengers nor freight can
safely be transferred to or from ship or

the city, and learning Of the approach of
Colombian troops, had barricaded the
streets and prepared for battle. In the

Destructive CONFEDERATION.

TEMPERANCE IN RUssIA.-The Russians,
in their anxiety to diminish the consump-
ton of spirits, are proposing to reduce the
duty on beer, and are vehemently opposing
the recent proposal of the Russian Minister
of Finance to raise the import duty on tea.
The Moscow Gazette ridicules the idea that
tea should be regarded as a i article de Aa9e
in Russia, where, even among the poorest
classes, tea is the only beverage that both
saves the people from the evil effects of
drinking impure water. and greatly reduces
the consumption of alcoholic drinks 1t is
pointed out that if the duty is raised snug
Cling will be carried ON to a much greater
extent. and public health will suffer by
adulteration. In support of this statement
that tea is the chief drink amongall classes
in Russia, the Moscow Gazette publishes
statistics furnished by experts engaged in
the tea trade with China, according to
which Russia consumes 90 per cent. more
tea than England. Chicago Tribune.

THE HEATH AMENDMENT DECISION.

Now that the Supreme Court has decided
that for special submission of the Heath
constitutional amendment, law APP
proved by the Governor is necessary, it is
TO be hoped that those who have been
striving to awaken hostile feelings, and
have been diligent in assuming positions
for the railroad companies of the State re-
garding the matter, will be satisfied. We
do not recall that railroad operators have
expressed themselves as much interested
in the matter as to when the amendment
Should be submitted. The railroad people
have certainly manifested no special
opposition TO or especially strong affirma-
tive interest in a matter which a large
majority of the Legislature deemed wise
action. Common justice should secure to
s,lch corporations fair credit for their posi-
tons Probably the railroad mana
gers hold divided opinions on the
questions Of the wisest methods of taxing
railroad property, but it is certain that
none of them have ever justified the absurd
EXPLANATIONS that they wished to shirll
their Just share of the burden of maintain
ing the government 1t has been 4 favorite
cry with the radical anti-railroad people
that railroads wished to avoid any pay
ment of taxes. But the fact is, and the
records make it clear, that the contests on
this question have not arisen out of a de-
sire to avoid, but out of that spirit of fair
play which should command respect
wherever found. In fact, the railroad
companies, as we understand it, went a
great deal further than any other record
of litigation discloses in offering to pay the
taxes, no matter what the result of the
litigation, but they were not even accorded
the credit due for that offer. The decision
regarding the submission of the Heath
amendment affords extremists Il brief
opportunity 10 revamp old hates, but be-
You'd this it has not appeared that the
railroad corporations are particularly con-
cerned about it.
