The man is simply mistaken, and
that is all there lie about it, who i'm
AGNES that the people of Pope coun-
ty are not fully competent to settle
the court house question when the
facts are laid before them, and settle
it right, according to their will and
wish, and this is the law in the mat
ter; and more than this, when the
question is laid before them in its
bare merits, and stripped Of every
thing but truth and the facts IN the
case, it will be passed upon without
malice aforethought, and in the light
Of the interests of the whole people
of the county. Prejudice and pas
sion, which figure largely in many
contests, cannot take root IN the
minds or have weight with men who
are accustomed to act from the high
er and better motives of reason. In
this, as in every other question, when
you find those who appeal to improp-
err motives, and seek to stir up ami
mostly, and gain through passion
and prejudice, you have found those,
either wrong themselves or with q
wrong cause. We have sought from
the first, and seek yet, to get the
people to look at this question as
one of business. 1t is not a ques.
tion to be settled by loves or hates,
or by enthusiasm and passion, but
by sober principles of business, and
these alone. The court house be
longs to the people, and you just as
well go along aud let them settle it
AS they like. They are wise enough
and intelligent enough, to do so, and
they will certainly do so, so as to
hurt nobody, nor themselves either,
in view of the fact that not a cent of
taxation is involved whether it moves
or whether it stays, and in case of
removal the court house and jail will
be built and donated to the county
absolutely without cost.

WHEN 1t comes to a question

WHEN 1T comes to question oil
politics men naturally divide accord
ing as they see this or that party
most likely to serve the public good.
But when it comes to question OF
morals, these party lines disappear.
1t makes no difference whether a
man Is a democrat, wheeler or re-
publican, his interest, and his duty
is the same, being one as another,
when that is involved which touches
the public veal of the whole coun-
try. That which threatens the char
acter of our common citizenship, and
the peace of our whole community;
which would debauch public morals
and ruin private citizens, and in
volve all in its common current of
distress and disgrace, should be
treated by the people of communi-
ty just like an epidemic OF disease is
treated. In an epidemic of disease
how prompt to press the quarantine.
In threatened epidemic of morals
the quarantine should be equally as
prompt and emphatic. An epidemic
in health is no worse than an cpl
demic in morals, for life is worth
nothing without safety. So far as
the public good Is concerned it is
just as important to have a commu-
nifty of good men as one Of healthy
men, and from this point of view, it
is just as important to Danish what
would afilict public morals, as 10
Danish what would ofilict public
health.
1t is pride Of the state to possess
a vigorous type of citizen manhood;
but no more 80 than to have that
manhood vigorously upright. The
people through the law seek to pre-.
serve public health and conserve
public safety. They should also,
through the law, seek to conserve
public morals and public tranquility.
When public morals are built up,
every other public interest is built
up. Every body is safe in commu-
nifty of good men--safe in person,

Hon. g. T. Cazort.

The Clarksville Tribune of the
l4th inst, pays the following hand.
some tribute to Hon. G.. T. Cazorl
the democratic nominee for senator
for this, the 4th, senatorial district.
1t is quite complimentary, and with
out doubt every word true:
"Tom is a johnson county boy
born and reared in this county
Those who are personally acquaint
ed with him know him to be an hon.
orable, upright man; man of pluck
energy and Of thorough business ca.
paclty. who, with others Of the firm,
has accommodated . great many
poor people from year to year that
would not otherwise been able to
make living; of course this is in
a business way, but it was a great
accommodation nevertheless. As to
his ability to qualify himself for the
position to which he aspires, we
know him to be able. He has q
sound mind, good judgment, fair
education, and Pope and johnson
counties will be honored by him in
the state assembly. He deserves a
warm support at the hands of the
democratic party. and will, no doubt,
get 1t in the September election"

TALK about Cleveland's pledges
not beng carried out. Nonsense.
Colonel Robt- L. Taylor,pension com
missioner in Tenn, wanted to 60 to
the state convention recently held In
that state for the nomination Of state
officers which nominated him for
governor. but not wishing to violate
the presidents order recently issued
in regard to Federal officials keeping
aloof from active partisanship 10
politics, he addressed an inquiry te
commissioner of pensions to know, II
it would be improper for him to &c
to Nashville, not as q delegate but
only TO be present, if he should be
nominated as he expected. The
Commissioners reply was that it was
better for him not to attend. This
is bringing civil service rules down
to strict construction and so strict
that we think Bob Taylor would have
been justified In their breach just
that one time any way.

A PROTEST..
To the Members Of the Agricul-
tural Wheel of the State
of Arkansas.

A number Of Wheelers styling
themselves the Executive Commit
tee of the Grand Agricultural Wheel
of the State Of Arkansas" through
their chairman, A. B. Hogard of
Lawrence county, did publish
through the columns OF the State
Wheel Enterprise proclamation to
the effect that they would, on the
18th day of July, 1886, it being the
time of holding the meeting OF the G.
A. w. of the State at Litchfield, Ar
kansas, select a full ticket OF stand

1t appears by the published list
in the Gazette that such ticket has
been placed in the political field 70.
public favor. Now we desire to call
the attention Of Wheelers to the
fact that said so called committee is
not an offspring OF the Grand Agri-
cultural Wheel of the state of Ar
kansas, but is the creature Of a pc
litical convention which was called
to meet and did meet In the city Of
Little Rock, on the 9th Of June, 1886,
under the name of the Agricultural
Wheel OF the state OF Arkansas,
which said political Wheelers did
nominate under the name and claim.

We do most earnestly protest that
the action OF this committee, SO styl-

names OF c. <. Cunningham for gov
ernor, and other persons for the other
offices, as Wheel ticket is unauthor
ized by the State Wheel. That for
said ticket, there is not single me-
cessity. That 1t will tend to lessen
the usefulness of the organization
and render 1t less powerful for good
to the laboring classes for whose
benefit, in it's purity, 1t was called
into cxistenie. We do most hearth

The 9th day of September will
soon be here, and on that day the
voters Of Pope county will be called
upon once more to select their offic-
ers for another term. They will be
called upon TO decide whether the
government shall be put into demo
cratic hands or whether 1t shall be
turned over to others. FOR the last
twelve years the democracy has ad
ministered the government,and with
out any partially whatever. We
suppose VIC may claim it has
been well done. We
make this claim upon the record and
not upon any mere party preference.
We do not suppose there is man Of
intelligence in Pope county who
would deny the general beneficial
tendency OF democratic rule in Pope
county. With this record granted
even by It's enemies and its great
achievements talked of and praised
by its friends, it is calculated to ar
rest the attention OF the voters when
this party comes before them again
for another endorsement. Having
acquitted itself SO we'll in the past
the people only want to be satisfied
as to who is on deck to give assur.
ance for the future. 1t is useless to
remark Pope county never had bet
ter crew aboard than now. The men
composing the democratic ticket are
true and tried, and every one Of them
gives assurance Of solid efficiency
and faithfulness in Office. Better
men could not be found in the coun
ty. They stand on the highest round
of our county citizenship. None
can be found to question the integ
rity, the honesty or the ability Of
one single man on the democratic
ticket. 1t would seem this ought to
be enough, and no one doubts but
what 1T is. With such men as Sib.
ley, Potts, Young, Bayliss, Petty and
Hickman and the rest of the demo
cratic ticket the people are not GO
ing to indulge in any coquetry with
movement simply for the sake oil
change. They we'll know the risks
of change and especially where there
is no possibility of a change being
for the better neither in men nor
policy. Let the word pass down
tie line for general rally under the
democratic banner for good govern
ment and honest men on the 9th OF
September.

In recent issue Of the DEMocRAr
We remarked ''that the people would
like 70. Col. Tobey to answer the
questions whether he rode on free
pass while member Of the legisla
ture aud ALEC If he received mileage
for the distance travelled ON the rail-
road. To which Col. Tobey replied
as follows:
You say "The people would like
for Col. Tobey to answer the follow
ing questions: Did you ride on free
pass while member of the legisla-
ture and also receive mileage for the
distance travelled on the railroad?-'
I'm reply ! will say that did re-
ceive mileage according to law,
which was twice as large as it should
be, but bought tickets and paid for
them and did not ride mile Free"
1t is noticeable that Col. Tobey
did not deny receiving q free pass
nor does he claim to have returned it.
He only claims to have paid for the
tickets to and from the legislature
and not to have ridden there on a
free pass, all OF which he might have
done while he had the free pass in
his pocket for future use. In order
not to do any one injustice and In
order to ascertain, if the source of
our information which lead us to
pen the query was trustworthy, we
made sufficient Investigation of the
matter to ind out that Col. Tobey's
name was on the list of Legislators to
whom free passes were issued and
that no record of the return Of Col.
Tobcy's pass could be found, all of
which would seem to give rise to the
DEMOCRATS inquiry and lay Col. T..
open to the suspicion of using the
pass, If not on the occasions for
which he claimed mileage still after
wards when the, legislature had re-
tired from active service.
