President Palmer, of the broadway Bank. says
that IN acting ~ trustee Tor the SlOO0.0O) second
mortgage on the surface road he played the part OF
the Good Samaritan. This seems to be the solo IN
stance of the manifestation Of Christian virtue in
the " hole Broadway business. But then Mr.. Palmer
WAS in a sense the victim OF Il confidence game, Tor
Ia, ayows that if he had known what has since been
d,yrIoprd he would never have soiltd his fingers by
touching that mortgage.

The present Administration has 50 little de-
sire to strengthen American interests and in
fuence abroad that little attention probably
will be paid by it to what the Hawaiian Minis
ter has to say in defence of the present treaty
between this country and the Sandwich Islands.
The Minister'S views, however, are worthy Of
attention in Congress. lilo admits the Spreckels
monOpoly but charges that the Pacific roads
which give Spreckels special freight rates are
responsible for the abuse. And he points out
as an offset to this evil (Which he thinks will
soon end) the advantages derived by the pIedOm-
nance of American ideas at Hawaii, and the
aid steamship lines have received from iG. In
the Minister'S opinion, if the treaty is abrOgated
some European nation will control the Islands
as America now does. That would place the
United States at disadvantge, which probably
would please Immensely our fellow-cltizens

 PALMER, Ark, June 14.-I wish to correct the Morrilton Star, as regards the Wheelers of Monroe county. The subordinate Wheels of Monroe coun- V did meet on the night of the 18th Of May and there and then cast bal lots, and did nominate certain can didatcs for the various offices of our county, and 1 am sorry to say it was only sore headed democrats and de- fested office seekers and radicals ar (republicans.) was present at the meeting and ! am sure l know what they did, in other words, they held a primary election in their Wheels such as would take hand with them. I will say furthermore, it does uot amonnt Co anything, for two thiras of them never vote with us, and the other third never knows how .hey are going to vote till they get to the voting precinct. and after they vote 1t takes all three of the judges and both clerks to tell how they did vote, their ticket is SO badly scratch ed. These men never bother any body. We arc not uneasy, three. f0ulths of our wheelers are good democrats. and had nothing to do in paitiag out this county Wheel ticket and are under no obligations to sup port the same. k. B. RAISKf.

If could only think of a subject, If my thoughts would only rhyme; Verse making has become an object, And i must make use of my time. Must the words be expressive of sor.
 row Must seem to sigh with regretS Or, point hopefully on to the morrow And say to despair, not yet. Shall say to the weary hearted, Their burdens will soon be removed. And bid them be not tlejected But to trust in the God of lovcs Or shall I join with the mirthful, And strive to laugh care away, Nay, rather with those that rcnorseful Look back on lifes fleeting day. But we are commanded remember To Rejoice with those that rejoice" And we pray our hearts touch and ten-
 der That our feelings be not reversed. And again we are commanded ito
 weep" To weep with thoss who weep; When sorrow for words is too deep, Do we with the sorrowful weep?

 APPLETON, June ll.-The weather is fine, and all IS bright and gay since the rain. Corn is growing very fast and cotton is looking ex- cellent. Wheat cutting is now in order and some are done. A great many of our farmers made q mistake this year by not sowing wheat. It seems as if cotton must he raised if the babies do have to do without any biscuit. Farmers we are, some of us, saying hard things about the mer- chants, lawyers and doctors, just De cause we have neglected our farms, by not sowing more small grains and trying, instead of reducing 1t to noth ing, to make it better.

Home Coming. There is, there can be ONE, BUT ONE, One joyous or dread coming home. If welcome words and kindly tone, Pronounce for thee-"Thou hast well done,"
 Then will thy soul with rapture thrill, And happiness thy being fili. But, if the words-"Depart from me, "Ye workers of iniquity," Fall cold and clear thy ear upon, Then art thou even more undone. An soul of mine take warning thou, And flee thee to the cross, there bow. And yield thy life-love passions all, To Gods most wise benign control.

 PEA RIDGE, June l4.-The return to Atkins of the three delegates, Gill, Mallett and Burriss, who repre- scnted Pope county in Boss McCrack- en's republican Wheel convention, might be of interest to some of your readers, how they appeared and so on, and also some of thelr dolngs while at Little Rock. Burris, who is an honest republican and has the manhood to say so, was the first to get of the train and was smiling all over his face and shouted out, we nominated Fletcher for governor and are going to elect him. Gill and Mallett walked away with heads hanging, of course they were not ashamed of what they had done, but were exhausted from their labors of obeying their Bosses and repeating the little pieces as dictated by the republican Bosses. Gill's wonderful eulogy of Fletcher in the convention some think was dictated by Benja
 min, and others by Sarber, but it matters little who did it, 1t was de
 livered in very strong style, and it is said that the republicans all smiled and stamped .heir feet, and the greenback party Charley Cunning
 ham, fairly shouted Just think what q strain It must have been on Gill. The originator of all the great reforms of the country. One who has fought for years, capital, nation al banks, democracy, cliqnes, rings and merchants, now demanding that the president of a national bank and capitalist and merchant, be nominat- ed for governor of the state of Ar. kansas. But his republican Bosses had so dictated, and he being a wil- ling tool in their hands, was the proper person in the right place. No wonder he looks fatigued. It is also sad that Mallet's worn and dejected was caused by his hay ing to memorize and rehearse a great many important little pieces dictated by his dear republican friends and allies. Why he looked like long, lean confederate soldier who had been on weeks forced march with. out rations. He being very smart man l have no doubt he was imposed upon. The mouth farmers of that convention being largely in the ma jority they must have had hard time keeping the cunning Wheel candidates from going into politics, that is. those that are tillers of the soil. l do think everybody regard.

The vote in this part of the county is generally divided and we have every reason for thinking it is this time, consequently we are not fattering any of our friends by telling them they are going solid.
