After the business of one of the
conventions at Henderson had been
concluded an organized effort was
made TO delay business and prevent
the organization of the other in time
10 complete the work before the | :55
train left for the South. BY a sim
gular coincidence these fillibusterers
whose motives have not been ex-
planned, were led by lot of uender-
son men and friends of the Barrett
House. These parties succeeded in
causing the delegates who staid un-
til the convention adjourned to miss
the train by five or ten minutes and
compelling them to pay hotel bills
twelve hours longer. If visitors al c
to be treated in this style, Henderson
need not expect to get many conven-
lions in the future.

The Henderson Convention.

The Appellate Convention met at
Henderson Wednesday, April 2Sth,
and permanent organization was
effected by the election of Sam'l o.
Num-, of Crittenden, Chairman and
Urey Woodson, of Daviess, and Chas.
NJ. Meacham, of Christian, Secreta-
ries. All Democl attic editors present
were made assistant secretaries.
There being no contest, Judge Cas-
well Bennett, of Livingston, was
nominated by reclamation and came
forward and accepted the nomina-
ton for Appellate Court Judge in a
feeling speech of thanks.
AT the close of his speech, short
recess was taken, after which the
committee on resolutions reported the
following:
Resolued, That we endorse the &C.
ton oftheDemocratic party of thisAp-
pellate district in meetingin conven-
ton 10 nominate a candidate for the
office of judge of the court ofappeals,
and the nomination of Hon. Caswell
Bennett for that office.

and re-affirm the principles of the
Democratic party as enunciated in

Resolved, That having confidence
in the political integrity of President
Cleveland, we endorse his admins
tration and pledge him our hearty
support, coupled with the hope that
he will hasten the work of reform by
substituting Democrats for Republi.
cans in office as rapidly as possible.
Jake Corbett amended by asking
that the words "except the civil ser.
vice plank thereof" be added at the
ending Of the second section. This
amendment was defeated and the
convention adjourned sine die.
All but five of the IS counties were
represented.

Savings Are Capital.

What is called the International
Workingmen's Association in Chica-
go would appear to be body of an
archists, chiefly ignorant foreigners
who know little or nothing about the
cause they affect to champion. One
of the banners in Sundays procession
bore the device, "Private Capital
Represents Stolen Labor" which is
falsehood, refuted by the condition of
every frugal and thrifty.workingman
in the country. Great fortunes &C
quired by cunning manipulation of
securities and breaches of trust and
dishonest tricks may represent some
thing very like robbery of labor;
and wealth gained by theft, embezzle-
ment and fraud possesses the same
character. But there are thousands
and millions OF small fortunes and
completeness that represent nothing
else than honest labor of their posses
sors. All canital is savings-the ex-
cess of earnings over spendings. IT.
of Two mechanics working for the
same rate of wages, one spends all he
earns, while the other, by self-denial
and thrifty management, saves 500 a
year, the latter will at the end of the
year be small capitalist, possessing
the advantage of purchasing his sup
plies by wholesale and thus effecting
another saving, while the former will
be no better off than at the beginning.
If the process goes on for twenty
years, the one will own the house he
lives in and have something else be-
sides, while the other will still be
paying rent. The frugal and self
denying man represents prosperous
individuals to be found in every COM
munity-persons whose small or
large fortunes are the product of their
careful savings. 1t is absurd to say
that the 500 year which a young
mechanic saves from his first earn
ings, and the larger sums he saves
from his larger income, represent
robbery of labor" 1t represents the
careful husbanded product ofhis own
honest labor, and it is his capital, not
only by the laws of society, but by
every law Of natural right.
All laboring men may aspire 10 be-
come capitalists. The majority of
them do have this ambition. -Four
out of five American or Americanized
workingmen desire to improve their
condition by accumulating larger or
smaller amounts of capital to make
them independent of the accidents of
life and 10 support them in old age,
when they will have lost the capacity
of disposition TO work, and it is for
the interest of the working class and
society that this ambition should be
stimulated and encouraged.-Repub-
lican.

Too Much Water in the Mississippi

A special from Vicksburg says:
News reached here to-day that the
levee had broken Sunday night some
where in Coahoma county. The re-
port created much uncasiness. AT A
p. IN. to-day the agent telegraphcd
from Bobo Station that there had
been a small break in the levee at the
mouth of Harris Bayou and another
some miles below, but that the dam
age had been repaired.
A special from Greenville, Miss,
says: The levee of the Mississippi
side is reported broken about five
miles south of Friar's Point. This
morning the gap was fifty feet wide
and five feet deep, and the water was
pouring through with tremendous
force. A telephone message was al
so received from Suntlower Landing
that the levee had been cut during
Sunday night at Harrison Bayou.
This will inundate all of the Sunflow-
er country, part of Holmes county
and a small portion of Washington
county. Owing to the severe storm
along the river last night telephone
communication was somewhat furth-
er interrupted and details could not
be obtained. The utmost vigilance
is being exercised by the levee author
tiles of this district.
A special from Helena, Ark, says
The river rose one and one-fourth
feet from l o'clock Monday TO o'clock
Tuesday, making the water one inch
higher than ever before known. AT
6 p. IN. the water was four inches
above the high water mark of 1887
and rising half an inch an hour. Sew
EN- miles south Of Helena the water
only lacked one inch of running over
the levee at noon to-day. The river
from lhat point down few miles has
been above the high water mark Of
1882 since Saturday. The levecs are
=, getting soft in many places, and large
crevasses are expected to open at an!
moment. The prospects are exceed
ingly gloomy for Arkansas and Louis
lana, and are by no means brigh
for Mississippi. The prediction il
made that the water will continue t
rise until the 3Oth inst, and very like
,. Iy until the End of May.
A special from Vicksburg says
,, The general freight agent of TIN
Queen and Crescent Road here statct
tonight that he thought from presen
indications the Vicksburg, Shreveport
& Pacific Division would he compel
ell 10 suspend operations between
u Vicksburg and Monroe within tn
next few days on account ofhigh wa

A young lady and gentleman friend
were talking over the front gate one
evening last week when the lady was
heard to remark:
"Uh George l don't know how can
ever repay you for Your kindness to
me. only wish | could do something
for you"
George remarked that such pay
ment was possible, and leaned just
far enough to place her one on her
inviting lips. She stepped back and
said:
Il am so very, very sorry"
"Sorry for what, says George
thinking he would never be pardoned
for the oflense.
"Why sorry l have paid all owe
YOU" she calmly murmured.

1t is time TO ask again what the
State troops are doing at Greenwood.
If, as was charged originally, they
are there to prevent an uprising of
men made desperate by injustice, it
is time that the State should begin to
ask what is the nature and the cause
of this injustice. If there be no basis
for such a claim, the persons whom
the troops are watching should be
treated as other men who defy the
law-by the civil authorities. The
troops ought to be removed, If neith-
er Governor nor Legislature can give
tho public any good reasons for keep
Ing them there.-Lou. Commercial.

The eight hour system seems to
work in somes cases but in others il
doesn't take so well. 1t will be i'm
possible in many instances for manu-
facturers to reduce the working
hours from 10 to s without reducing
the pro rata in wages. The 5 hour
question is not altogether one sided.
