We are glad to see the Republicans
of the 5th district so unanimous for
the reelection Of Congressman John
A. Anderson. He is a grand man
and IS making a grand record in Con
gress. He is a pronounced anti-mon-
OPOly, progressive republican, and the
people recognize in him their true
friend.

When the meIodiOus lark is swinging
On withered sunf1owers, with graceful bows;
When the farmers are busily scraping
Last years mud from their rusty plows:
When the festive gopher nimbIy skipping
Takes a survey of future fields of corn:
When the southern zephers bring US tidings
OF the dreaded cyclone for evil born;
Then we realize that spring is coming

There we had just fairly started to
grind out spring poetry by the yard,
when dim visions of the yawning jaws
of the waste basket, or the possibility
Of hidden club within convenient
reach Of ye editors hand, suddenly
sent a cold chill through our grind

fused to go any farther, so we will
have to go back to the more prosaic
occupation of writing items.

TARIFF.

ED. TiMEs.-There are nine New England states that have more money than all the other twenty mine states At the present rate of tariff the farmer and mechanic pay to the manufaetur- ing combine at least one-third of the labor. one-third of each crop, one-third of each days work, all of which goes to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer.
 You ask why we do not reduce the tariff. l will tell you, we ouly have q majority in congress, while the republi- cans have a majority in the senate. We can pass no bill without the con currence Of the senate and only by the votes of three republicans, were we enabled to pass the Mills bill, for four democrats were bought oyer and be- long to the protectionists. thank God that there were three men-three hon est men in the republican party that money could not buy. II the laboring z men, both black and white, understood the plans laid to rob them-the laws enacted to protect the robbers while they steal from every laboring man. they would be up in arms Co slay or to be slain in defense of the rights-rights given by God and guaranteed tO you under the constitution.
 The colored man votes m himself s50 every yeaf. There are e. 200 600 cOiorei people in this country. two mil lions wb0 labor. and tax uf fJ0 each is <l.Oo,0S1 yearly you pay for the privilege of voting for the republicans tariff men. This you did not know, and ask how are we t0 remedy the evil ? By putting men m office who are opposed to this system of robbery men who have always been true to yon-men who are Capable Of doing most good in the democratic party, which alone stands in defiance of the robbers who under the guise of law are to-day as they have been for twenty five years-stealing one-third of the products of all labor. Tie republicans will tell you this is all bosh, but work ingmeu at least can read. and these facts are on record to day and will he on record in the day of judgment. Such a record will sink tlle souls of such men deep beneath the liquid waves of hell where money VIII be Of no avail.
 Every republican who raises his voice or pen In defense of this robbef monopoly will heap Q eursa on his soul that will never die, for ike the wall of lost soul, will forever bs heard the groans of the suffering millions now under bondage te the rot,bef haroRs. who combine from the hydra-headed monster Monopoly. Every vote cast for an independent is so much help for the rr, ablicans .o grind iaioring men down in the dust of degTadAsio lon, while o.cocly rolls in e1se and wealth.

have been practical druggist in
 Tyler for number of years, and in that time have had occasion to examine, try.
 and notice the effect of nearly all the
 highly recommended preparations or patent medicines on the market, and as
 have suffered untold misery myself, the past number of years, from a severe form of inflammatory rheumatism, and could find nothing to cure or relieve me. had almost drawn 5 conclusion that all patent medicines were more or less frauds until about one year ago, was induced by friend now living in Tyler to try preparation known as B, or Botanic Blood Balm, and after
 a long persuasion on his part finally made up my mind to make one more fort to rid myself of the terrible affiic- ton and it now affords me the great est pleasure of my life to state to the citizens of Smith county that
 am entirely cured, with no traces of the disease left, and all effected by the magic healing properties of B. B. B., which I consider the grandest, purest and most powerful blood remedy known to man. have been subject to inflam- matory attacks since ten years of age,
 and up to the present time have had
 four. The last spell came on me in No vember, 1885, over year ago, at which time was confined to my bed for eight
 weeks, passing the nights in misery, with no sleep except when produced by
 narcotics and various opiates. The
 week previous to using B. E. E., up to that time 1 had only eaten six meals,
 and could scarcely sit up without sup port; but after using three bottles l
 was able to relish my meals and to walk up town, and after six bottles had been
 used, thank heaveh, I was entirely
 cured, and not the slightest pain felt since that time. When 1 returned to
 business in February. my weight was if5 pounds, but gradually increased
 until my regular weight was again at tained, 2l0 pounds. The noticeable fact in wliat have so cheerfully stated is, that this unparalleled and remark
 able discovery. B. E. B., cured me in
 mid winter, at the very time my suffer- ings and misery were the greatest. take it on myself, as a practical drug gist, to heartily, cheerfully, as well as
 conscientiously recommend this glori- ous blood remedy to all sufferers of rheumatism or blood troubles, and not
 only myself, but the firm of Mckay X Adams, who handle it. will cheerfully indorse its superior merits. J. M. DAVIS and Mckay X Adams, Tyler, Tex.

 TIE fusionists are in trouble. The little trade that was entered into be- tween five independent democrats on one side, and an equal number Of re . publicans on the other, by which the democratic and republican organiza- lions were to be neatly folded up, properly camphored, and carefully packed away for future use, is likely to be "busted up." The democrats on their part refused to be delivered, ana we learn that large portion Of the colored element repudiate the trade, and are going to do business at the old stand. but with a change of bosses. So far as the democratic party IS con- cerned. it cares not whether Fitzpat- rick and Nicely can deliver the goods or not. It is confident of beating both factions separately or combined.

ED. TIMES Tn your last issue in which you say, I was asked by one of the election judges, What are you go- ing to do two years from now, if you elect these negroes when they will want fieafly all the offices ?" Well" '" said he, when it comes to that, i've will have to count them out"

 W. II. CoFFEY.
 It is very evident to the com. munity that somebody has lied. Who 1t is remains to be proven. One Grimes, of Goodwin townhip says that "in a conversation with Judge Coffey about the black end of the fusion iIcket, I asked him what would bc done two years hence, when the negroes would want all of the offices, and he said "whcn it comes to that, we will count them out" but, sad Grimes, "I don't want to have anything to do in this campaign and did not think what I said would Do re- pea;cd" Now, fellow citizens. this man Grimes is c Coffey voter. The above is his language as near as we can remember it. Coffey says it is a malicious falsehood. Tho man Grimes seems to have no i'll will toward Coffey, in fact, is his political friend. He is dis interested party and says hc did not expect that what he had said in a private conversation, would ever bo repeated. We do not know the reputation of Grimes for truth and veracIty, but arc told that his word is as good as any mans. This being true, it remains for Mir. Coffey to prove that he did not say that which he is charged with saying. The public will be delighted to hear the truth, und,s- puted, upon the subject.

IF THE combine candidate for gov efnor, Dr. Norwood, should by any possibility be elected in September then there would be another combine on presidential electors. It would hurt President Cleveland in every DOT tion of the country. The democracy of Arkansas can't afford it. Col. Eagle is gallant standard bearer and de- serves the vote of every man in the state who believes in economical gov ernment and reduction of war taxes We have no doubt but that Washing. ton county will do her duty on the Sd September in giving 1000 majority. but let's make it as much larger as possible Fayetteville Democrat.
 Yes; the Norwood candidacy IS but a trial of strength. If it develops that he has considerable following, repub- lican presidential electors will be put in the field. Up, democrats Of St Francis, and give the straight ticket a rOusing majority.
