ARKANSAS NOTES.

YELLyILLE Flag! Genuine prosper
ity can only come TO the farmers o
Arkansas by getting out OF debt anC
staying out.
OZARK Democrat. This is a genera
election year in Arkansas. 1t will b.
an important year in that regard, anC
Democrats cannot too soon prepare To-
work.
AUGUSTA Vidette. Some seem to thinl
that consolidated labor is entirely t
blame, forgetting that consolidated
capital has refused every offer, either
from the labor RS or the suffering PEG
pie to adjust the trouble.
FoRT SMITH Tribune: The general
sentiment is that the strike must end
or, at all events, the railroads must
run their trains, and traffic must be
resumed, The country is growing i'm.
patient at these long delays.
FoRT SMITH Tribune. Master Work
man Powderly stands his ground and
remains cool and collected, Had there
been less reasonable man at the head
of the strikers, the consequences
would ere now have been most disas-
trous.
VAN buren, Ar1us: 1t is not with
any intent TO afford the public extra
knowledge of these documentss that
the Senate has entered upon its war,
but simply to prevent changes from
being made, and TO keep spies and in =.
formers and wire orkers in office.
SEARcY Beacon: A railroad obligates
itself 10 receive and transport the pas
sengers and freight asking conveyance,
without delay, and for fair consider
alton. The charter does not specify
that the service shall only be rendered
when they can obtain labor at a speci-
fed rate of wages to be paid to their
employees.
ARKANSAS Cry Journal: We now
learn that the farm hands, the COM
mon laborers of the country, are or
ganizing their lodges of Knights of
Labor What would become OF the
planting interests of the country if all
the farm hands were to strike the first
Of June and not go back to work for
four weeks2.. &4zs.a sssssn
HELENA World THE farming com
munity are staying al home busy pre-
pairing for the coming crops. Not as
msny have gone into the mortgage
business as usual. Tney are in better
circumstances than they have been
since the war, and this united move
% theirs, against the mortgage sys-
tenn, is an evidence OF that fact.
LITTLE Rock Gdsette: The reasons
upon which the Senate acts in con-
irming or rejecting the Presidents
nominees should be given the public.
The people should learn not only re-
'ults but the causes of the results.
secret sessions should be abandoned.
The present Congress bids
air TO descend TO history as the "do-
Congress.
PINE BLUFF Commercial We shall, !
mon, open up. Thieving, contempt, |
lie, corruptible officials may as we'll |
ook out, No power shall stay us.
We will expose corruption even at
he sacrifice of evident proposed as
assination. Bravado and bulldozing
will not suffice. Either we shall show
p the scoundrels or else we shall
erish in the attempt.
HELENA WOrd Now that the peo-
lie see the cause of the PdtriO s OPP
osition TO Col. Dunn, this lind of
pposition will not injure the Colonel's
God name as representative from
he First Congressional District, but
hon 1t becomes known that Mr..
arr opposes him because he could
OF use him for personal ends, Mr..
lunn will receive over seven-eights
all the Democratic votes in Phillips
