BRINKLEY ARK. July 16.-Dr. (

BRINKLEY ARK. July 16.-Dr. C. NJ. Norwood and Col. J. P. Eagle spoke here to day to a good crowd. Norwood claims the right to open and close the debate on all occasions and the democratic executive com mittee should either call him off or else demand fair division of the time. Norwosd spoke tifty-one min utes on the national banks and the other ten minutes were devoted to praise of himself and abuse of the democratic party.
 Col. Eagle followed and explained that the democratic party was not responsible for the national banks and then explained that it was taxa ation by the tariff that caused the trouble for labor. He then told what the democrats was doing in its effort to relieve the country from the burdens of tariff. Devoted some time to trusts and the causes ofthem. He showed that the national wheel had also done the same thing and the state union labor convention only adopted four blanks of it's national platform.
 He showed that Norwood did not object to single law of the statue books of Arkansas nor did he offer to recommend the passage of sin gle law for the benefit of a single law for the benefit of the laborcr. Col. Eagle defined his position upon the tariff and told what the demo- cratic party had done for the state in paying her debt, reducing taxa tion, building public buildings and the enforcement of the laws. It was evident when he closed that he had captured the audience. Nor wood claimed his ten minutes reply and when making it showed that he had completely lost his temper. Eagle will get the votes here.-Ga- zettc.

Referrinp 10 the necessity aI

Referring to the necessity and at the same tune to the difficulty of ed ucating the peoylc to full appreci- ation of the evils of the high tariff system, the New York Times Und. ) says ''The present system has on its side many deep-rooted prejudices and many carefully fostered delus- ions that must be expelled. More over, it has the intrenched power of the protected interests, which are leagued together for defense, and the enormous wealth which they have been permitted to draw from the people and part of which they are ready to spend in order to retain their advantages. The Republican organization is largely controlled by these protected interests, and cx- poets to derive from them alm ost unlimited funds for the work of the campaign, It is question of mutu- al preservation, and the two forces will work together.'

Mir. George w.

The fact that the capitalistic trusts promise to become an issue in the presidential campaign, will be bad news to the Republicans who are trying to carry water on both shoulders in this matter, and satisfy the people without offending the trusts. The Democrats will not per init them to play this double part any longer. but will compel them to show their hands and declare for or against the monopolies. '-N. O.. mes-Democrat.
