A most remarkable literary production
in the shape OF political novel made les
appearance during the past week. The
title Of The book Is Ounce Daniels Story
Of the War; IL appears anonymously,
but was first circulated by Gen, john A.
Logan, who handed copies OF IL around
among ais friends in the senate. From
this fact IL Is being asserted by his polit-
ical enemies that Logan is hius6lf the
author Of it. Like Disraeli's "Endymion,p
the work pictures well-known public men
under fictitious names, but so thlnly dis
guised that 1t is easy for the nlerestpO-
li.ical tyro TO identify the real personages.
Why the appearance Of the woik has
caused something Of stir is because It is
written 10 u most yirnlent spirit Of race,
political and sectional hatred, largely
directed towards the South, and tending,
If taken seriously TO heart by the people
of that region, TO rekindle the old feeling
OF sectional difference between the Nortn
and South now 50 happily dying out UNI
der the friendly advances OF patriots on
both sides, but chief VI whom was that
stalWart man, Gen. Grant. II would APP
pear that this result was the very end the
writer OF the book had 10 view. II Gen.
Logan worte 1t, it Will prove his political
ruin as II ought TO do The country is
tired Of bloody-shirt talk, and anybody
but these hide-bound partisans ought 10
know ~. Unfortunately, they are like

 THE time is here for action on the question of our school. Its future lies in the hands of our school board. By a bold, progressive step, it can plant our school interests on q firm and solid basis, but the step must be firm and progressive. The idea must seize the board to build school by means of putting talent and large ability inside the school building, and the idea of sentiment or accom- mediation should not be thought of until the prime object is attained, that of the employment of the high est order of talent at any cost. The matter of ability and fitness, the mans genuine qualifications and large attainments should be item No. one, and dollars and cents item No. two. Russellville is now in g situation to sustain and build up . school tue equal of any in the state; i; one where the advantages for an ed ucation cannot be surpassed, and it must be made to reach this high de- gree Tn order to attract patronage from abroad and to keep our own sons and daughters from seeking other schools to obtain the polish they ought to get right here in our own midst. There is no reason why Russellyille should not boast the finest school in this section. We have the building, the surroundings, the healthy locality, the good nor als, the christian community, and Tn fact verything needed. We only want the bold aggressive movement on the part of the school board to achieve the distinction and success which we ought to enjoy as school center. Hitherto the district has been in debt, but now that is about removed and nothing is in the way. Let us move for principal with large ability, wide experence, clear head and talent to build school and then give him corpse of talented 
 teachers and then give him united support whoever he may be, and in the least possible time Russellville's fame as school center will be put on solid basis.

NEXT Saturday week is the day for the democratic conventions. The business to be transacted is very i'm portant, being that of selecting dele gates to the county convention at Dover, the 18th, and to instruct these delegates, if itis so desired, in regard to judicial, congressional and State officers, and as to whether . convention or primary election shall be adopted IS the means of nominat- ing democratic candidates in the county. These township conven- tions should be full and out-spoken. Every democrat in hecounty should go to his convention that day and do what he can to serve his country and party, and take an active hand in trying to reach the best conclusions for all concerned. It. is proposed for such matters as instructions and the selection of delegates to be deter mined by ballot, so as to leave every man free to free and untrammelled expression of his choice, and to avoid all wrangling and confusion, and to secure the ends of fairness and jus tice.

IT looks like they had gotten their foot into it sure enough, the anar- chists, Spies, Schawb, Fieldsn, Fish CT, Ling and Schnaubel. Each of them has been indicted for murder, conspiracy and unlawful assembling, and Ling betters the catalogue by adding assault with intent to kill. If their counsel. Ben Butler and Bob Ingersol, had succeeded, the one in being elected president, and the other Tn attracting ths attention which his vain soul deslred, then they might have shown themselves able for the job of acquitting their clients, but as it is these natives of Poland had about as well make up their minds to roost in somebody's pcnitentiary.

 Prof. J. H. Shinn is candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction. A better man for the position could not be found in the State. He has long been identified with public schools, Is fine scholar and thoroughly understands every thing pertaining to the free school system. Place him in the office of State Superintendent and you have man who will devote his whole heart and mind to the work for which he Is eminently fitted-a man who understands the duties he will be expected to perform, and who will discharge these dutics, we believe, in 2 manner perfectly satisfactorily to the people.

THE clouds of war so long immi' nent between Greece and Turkey is at last clearing away, and the two armies have been withdrawn from the frontier and the volunteer forces and being disbanded and sent home This is the result of the intervention of the great powers of Europe, which have ! way of taking hold of the quarrels of little countries like Greece and weak governments like Turkey, and forcing whatever set clement they want them to make, or whatever settlement is agreed upon between the great powers.

THIs wheel movement IS demo- cratic move to capture the party and rescue it from the hands Of the ma chine politician. The only interest republicans have in 1t is to see the job we'll done. Star.
 This from republican journal ought to be taken as authoritative. It will explain the inwardness of re publican solicitude In pushing wheel politics. To see the job of dividing the democratic party well done is what this republican sheet frankly conresses to be the object and ann and interest of the republicans. What democrat will pretend to deny it when republicans who stand in the lead like the editor of the Star ad- init it. Of course it suits republi- cans to muddle politics and especial ly to see democrats get by the ears, and 1t is to be expected to see them scheming to disrupt the democratic party in any way and every way pos sibIe. But the strange thing is to see some democrats acting this role for republican delight. Republicans ought also to know their own pur- poses in the matter. What then must we all think Of the plausible pretext to abandon old parties etc.2 It's hand in this game stands re- vealsd in the light of such dcclara- tions as this from the Star.

A GREAT sensation in the Arkan sas delegation in congress was ere ated when 1t was learned that the President intended vetoing the right of way bill to the Arkansas Valley Route through the Indian territory. Immediate steps were taken to pre- vent. it if possible, and Senator Der " called on him at once and entered very vigorous protest in which he successfully demolished the presi dent in his reasons assigned for the intention. It would be next to a calamity to have this matter fall now, after it has passed congress. The Presidents reasons were the opposition of the Cherokees to the bill, but Senator Berry met this by requesting the presence of Chief Bushyhead who had told him of his favor of the enterprise. It is hoped q sufficient influence can be exerted on our rather bull headed president to deter him from putting his foot on what is of so much importance to Arkansas. If not, then that 1t can be passed over his veto.

--All honor to tue popular branch of congress. By a two thirds vote it refused to concur Tn the bill as 1t came from the senate, donating $500, 900 to the ocean mail steamship companies carrying the malls be- tween the Unised States and the South American countries. The fragrant and unjustifiable stap has been knocked in the head, sAl the subsidy business has received a stunning blow. Some excellent ap- peals were made by republicans as well as democrats in the house for the killing of the senatorial subsidy measure, and although members of the lower house sang the same old song about encouraging American shipping, opening American ports to foreign bnsiness and sending the manufactured wares of America to foreign lands, this old gag would not work, and the subsidy scheme was killed. There is still hope for&he people in the house that is still. it seems, near enough to the people to put veto on all such steals as tue ocean mail grab of $800,0OO.

THE disagreement and quarrels in the opposite party are very useful in offsetting those of your own. If the democratic party was the only party that was torn by dissention, it would soon go beneath the waves. But this affliction happens with others just about as it does Tn democratic ranks, and hence the equilibrium is maintained.
