A more gigantic fraud never was at
tempted to be palmed off, than is to be seen
in the effort to make the farmers, the labor
ingmen and the mechanics, believe that a
high protective tariff is beneficial to them.
By the system, as now practiced, money is
taken from the pockets Of the masses and
transferred to the pockets of the few, max
ing milionaires of the few and paupers of
many. This money, in turn, is dealt out
literally, to swell the campaign fund to
elect men to the national legislature. who
will labor to perpetuate this fraud upon the
people. The very money Tat is wrung
from the labor and sweat of the toiling
millions, is used to corrupt and debauch
the ballot-box and make slaves of the labor
men. 1t was this money that worked
Hurd's defeat it was this money that
swelled the campaign fund against Morri-
son il was this money that organized and
utilized the opposition to Mr.. Carlisle
Money, the representative value of the
sweat and life-blood of millions, is used to
steal their liberties and compass their
ruin.-P0qe News.

Governor Lee accompanies his letter, as
our readers observed, with detailed and
precise statement from the Auditors Office,
giving the exact items in every particular,
and a summation as above stated. Upon
this exhibit the Governor justly remarks
that nobody can intelligently advocate a
larger payment to the bendholders than
they received under the Riddleberger set
Element, without, at the Same tine, ad-
voeating one of two things-either small
er allowance to the humane institutions for
our deaf, dumb, blind and insane, or else
an increase Of the present rate of taxation.
Now let these clamoreus friends of the
bondholders come out of the mystification
of their foggy illusions upon morality and
honesty, into the clear sunshine of trans
parent truth and fact, and candidly and
courageously advocate higher rate of taxa
ton, or q diminution of the present appro-
priations to our charitable and oleemosy-
nary institutions. And after they have ad-
vocated either of these two things, let them
offer for the Legislature and they will
satisfactorily see where they stand, and
where the Virginia suffragans stand, upon
this debt question. -Lynchburg AdDance.

Are you for Virginia, or are you for the
English Bondholders? This question must
be decided by every property-owner when
he pays his taxes. If he pays in money he
is for Virginia--if he buys coupons he is for
the Bondholders. -Rockingham Register.

AN ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY.

HARPER's YOUNG PEOPLE has been called
"the model of what a periodical for young
readers ought to be-" and the justice OF this
com dation is amply sustained by the large
circulation it has attained both st home and
in Great Britain. This success has been
reached by methods that must commend
themselves to the judgment of parents, no less
earnest and weIl-sustained effort to provide
the best and most attractive reading for young
people at a low price. The illustrations are
OF excellence.

Editor Times.
Probably few items from this
part of our State would not be out
of place in your most excellent pa
per, therefore | cordially offer you
all that | have ON hand.
Health is very good in this
vicinity, but pshawl just below
here it is terrible. The crops are of
a defective growth; the very best
oats TINT L have seen were about s
or 10 inches in height, and cotton
is yet small and sleazy.
Wheelism, politics, patent gates,
ticks, gnats, beetles. snakes, and
mosquitoes are all the go in south
Arkansas. These days the spot
ted-back travellers are always III
srarch of their rations. If there
is anything else in south Arkan-
sas so we'll suited as the tick to
make distinct impressions on the
susceptible natures of new corners,
| must confess that | am ignorant
of its identity; and as for sticking
qualities it badlS discounts any
plaster now on thSmarket. Who
ever knew of tick refusing to
stay by friend in affection, or
who ever saw one incapable of
catching on to the topic of inter-
est i'll any kind of society. Had /
time, | would send you one war
ranted to recall to your memory
all the old spring styles of adj
jectives that were once so remark
ably adjustable MS to fit all sized
occasions. But the gnats cause
more rubbing, slapping, tanning
and scratching i'll one hour than
the ticks do i'll u week, and unless
checked by some better remedy
than any known or used at pres
ent they will render sleeping or
even resting impossible in a large
and fertile section of south Ar
kansas. This year these guats
have for the first time been as bad
Mt night as in day time; they fill
the entire atmosphere like an inn
mense swarm of bees; the flies
that plagued Egypt could not
have been worse. A smudge or
thick smoke is used to prevent the
approach Of the gnats; but the on
ly dead sure way if you want TO
sleep any at night, is to roll up
head and ears in thick heavy
quilt, then roll under the bed and
you can snore provided the wealth
or isn't too hot
Your folks will feel better i
know after learning that we are
more unfortunate than they.

Democratic Mass Meeting.

Pursuant to q call of the Dem
ocratic executive committee, the
Democrats of Boone county as
sembled in mass-meeting last
Saturday. Though the farmers
are very busy at this time, there
was Il fair attendance Of repre-
sentative Democrats from vari
Gus parts of the county, and
the prevailing sentiment Of our
democracy was without doubt
we'll represented.
Chairman Perew called the
meeting to order and stated its
objects, which were chiefly to
select delegates to the State
Convention and instruct them
as to the choice of the county
democracy for the various State
offices. On motion Hon. B. B.
! Hudgin S was elected chairman
of the meeting and E. G. Mitch
ell secretary, and the editor of
both the county newspapers
were invited to the stand.
3. After briefly thanking tire
assembly for the honor done
him, Chairman Hudgins an
nounced the meeting ready for
business. 1t was decided that
the choice of the meeting in
voting for the various candidates
should be indicated by rising
vote. S. P. Hughes was then
put in nomination for Governor,
and elected unanimously-no
opponent. +. B. Moore was
nominated for Secretary of State,
with the same result. A. w.
Files, w. r. Mill ,er and NJ. NJ.
Mcclure were nominated for
Auditor, and Mr.. Files having
received all the votes but five,
! it was moved and carried that
his election should be made
unanimous, which was done.
VIM. f. Woodruff was nomi-
mated for Treasurer, and unani-
mously elected--no opponent.
Dan. w. Jones was nominated
Tor Attorney General-same re
suit. Paul M. Cobbs for Land
Commissioner-same result.
Isaac A. Clarke for State School
observation-disclosures result.
B. b. Battle and George j.
Crump were nominated for As
sociate Justice of til G Supreme
Cont, and the latter, though
not a candidate, received a large
majority Of the votes.
f. G Mitchell, b. B. Hudgins,
j. Il. Holt and Mack Rowland
were then elected delegates to the
State convention. G. T. Cof-
man and f. NJ. Garvin were
elected alternate delegates, and
it was moved and carried that
any one or more Of the delegates
who might attend the conven-
ton, should i'll the absence of
the others cast the entire vote of
the county Democracy, accord
ing to the above instructions,
for the candidates elected by the
meeting.
1t was then moved and car
ried that the meeting endorse
the call made by the executive
committee for Il Democratic
convention to be held in Harris
on on the both day Of July next,
after the primary elections to
be held OH the nth Of July, and
it was decided to postpone the
proposed reorganization of the
county Democratic executive
committee until the meeting of
the convention, when all the
townships shall be fully repre-.
scented. The result Of the meet
ing was practically an endorse
ment Of the present State adj
ministration and State officials;
all of the latter having been re-
nominated but two, and they
having been left out, not from
any objection to them, but for
local reasons. After a short
and harmonious session, the
meeting adjourned.

AFTERNOON SESSION

CONCERNING the possibility o.
the enforcement of the prohibi
ton law where officers are dill.
gent and conscientious in the dis
charge of their duties, the doubts
which have troubled many are
rapidly disappearing. As an in
stance wherein the difficulty
seems easily surmounted we pub.
lish the following from a commu-
nication written by County Attor-
ney Curtis, of Shawnee county
Kansas:
First 1t is no more difficult tc
enforce the prohibitory law than
any other law.
Second-The sheriff does not
help me more than when he hears
of place he tells me about it and
when papers are placed in his
hands he serves them properly.
Third subpoena witnesses
under the law of 1885 and some.
times make the complaint myslf
sometimes it is made by the wife
or relation of some poor man who
is going the way all drunkards go.
FOURTH have been county at.
torney here nearly two years, and
in that time the county has not
paid in costs one hundred dollars
(Sl00), while the whisky mon
have paid over ten thousand dol
lars $4,000, in costs, and thirty
or more have been iii jail.
Fifth-OnlY poor and worthless
fellows follow the business now,
and they only last, in some back
room or alley, for n few days, but
when we have them in Jail they
stay until their time expires, and
we make them pay all costs before
they are released.
Sixth 1 don't depend upon out
side organizations of citizens.
Seventh havo 10 troubles
with juries here, for | have lived
in this county all my life and
know the people, and when we
get n bad man on | excuse him
from the jury.
