AN INFAMOUS LIAR.
Is What the Good People of Pope County Say of K. Boomerang
 CarII ,Ra.

 To the Editor of The Gazette.
 RUssELLvILLE, Sept. 25.-We have read with surprise R. B. CarlLee's letter, dated St. Louis, Mo-, Sept. l4, to G, w. Pike ofNew York City, and published in the New York Press, and reproduced ln your paper of to-day charging the democratic party with perpetrating violence and fraud of the darkest dye to carry the last state election. In hls letter he charges that the democratic party, to use his own Ian guage, "In Pope county they changed 400 or 800 votes, perhaps more, from our candidate Lo their candidate"
 We rise to vindicate the good name Of our county against the infamous defamatlons of most infamous lar, There never was a more peaceabie, quiet and fairly conducted election held anywhere than was held in Pope county on the 3d inst. The election was conducted to the satisfaction of all parties, and no complaints exist in the union labor party or, in fact, In any quarter, against the fairness of the election held in this county. We challenge CarlLee to produce the statement of single member of the union labor party of any respectabili- ty Tn Pope county that will verify his interruptions chargee as to thls coun- ty. As to this county his statements are willfulIy and maliciously false, within our personal knowledge, without even the remotest rumor for It's support.

LET the democratic motto in the second district be Cleveland and Breckinridgc. Remember the 9th of November is rapidly approaching and on that day the great national battle Is to be decided. Compared with thls all other contests have been insignificant.

THE Little Rock Democrat states the case in a nut shell Tn the follow ing:
 "The farmers of the Second dis. trict should support MT. Breckin- ridge for congress and we are pleas ed to notice that some Of them are doing SO. Mir. Breckinridge has done much to commend himself to the favorable consideration of the agricultural classes. His prompt and vigorous opposition to the "trusts," as shown by tho bills in- troduced by him to regulate them, has greatly endeared him to the great masses who have long suffered from the sxactions of these combin- ations. Let all Democrats in the Second district rally to the support of NIT. Breckinridge."

As base fabricator Reuben Carl Lee, the purchasing agent of the Agricultural Wheel and prominent member of the union labor party, has proven himself genius of sur passing ability. In letter to the New York Press, dated September l7th, over his signature, appear a tis- sue of falsehoods and malignant mis- representations concerning the re- cent election in this State, which at once brands the author as disgrace to his fellows and an enemy to his State. He recites a number of in stances of alleged democratic wrong doing in the counties of Arkansas Lee, Mississippi, St. Francis, Jack, son, Howard, Lincoln, Lafayette, Llt tie River, Monroe, Pope and Saline, He says: "1n Pope county they changed 400 or 500 votes, perhaps more, from our candidate to their candidate" A falsehood more mon strous would be difficult to utter There is not one iota of truth in the charge SO far ss this county is con. cerned, and there is not one member Of the opposition party in Pope county who has taken the pains tc inform himself in regard to it, but will say that the election was fairly conducted and the ballots honestly counted. The charge, therefore against this county, the judges ant clerks of the election and the officers making the final returns, is unfound ed and hereby hurled back into th' teeth of the author as infamously false. Such a defamer and falsifiel as CarlLse should be uncermonious ly bounced from his position ant forced to carry the brand of his in
 fanny as long as he lives.

The PRESS IN GERMANY.
The Editor Who Goes to ~Prison-strict
Law and Harsh Penalty

The Editor Who Goes to Prison-strict
Law and Harsh Penalty.
The principal regulations of the Ger.
man press are these: Every German
newspaper must print the name of its re-
sponsible editor, who Is expected to 20 to
prison whenever any N of the staff Is
required for that important service. This
rule Is not so hard as 1t looks, for it Is,
after all, much better for the paper to
have one man in readiness for prison alb
sence than to live In uncertainty as to
whether the government might not come
to the office and pick out for prison Just
the most important man. The former
law which allowed the government to
suppress a paper for short periods was
very much harder, for it threw the whole
staff out OF employment at irregular in
tervals and caused much hardship to
many innocent persons.
Each copy of a newspaper must be
handed to the police of the district in
which it is published Immediately upon
its appearance. The police then care
fully scan the columns to see II they can
find any language on which to base a
charge. The government is authorized
to exclude from Germany any foreign
papers whose contents are displeasing to
the chancellor-of course under due pro-
cess of law. The fact that a CORE
spondent signs his name to an article
does not relieve the editor of the respon-
sibility attaching to any expressions he
may have used therein. There are
many ways in which articles may nave
done injury in a name which no editor
could possibly have foretold; hidden
meaning may have lurked in apparently
hidden statements, etc. For such cases
the judges are allowed discretion, and
for that matter they can do pretty much
as they please in all cases Of this kind,
for 1t is for them to determine not only
how offensive any language may be to
the government, but they also determine
the punishment which the wretched ed
itor is to undergo.
In order to make the law as complete
as possible. and to discourage in the
greatest possible degree the publishing of
political newspapers, the law provides
that not only is the editor responsible for
what is in his paper, but all the rest who
assist in producing it can be punished as
well-the publisher, printer and the news
agent who sells it. These regulations
apply to all respectable, law abiding
newspapers and neutrality-suspicious.
such as have occasion to discuss public
affairs. In regard to papers advocating
socialism the government makes short
work of them. They are promptly sup
pressed by the police, their editors all
put under arrest, and every measure
taken to prevent their resurrection

Dye Colors from Plants.

A variety of very useful coIors and dyes
may be obtained from very common
plants, growing in abundance almost
everywhere. The well known buckle
berry or BURBERRY, when boiled down
with an addition of a little alum and q
solution of oopperas, will develop an ex-
cellent blue color; treated In the same
manner with solution of nut gals, they
produce a clear dark brown tint, while
with alum, verdigris and sal ammoniac,
various shades of purple and red can be
obtained. The fruit of the elder, SO fire.
quently used for coloring spirits, will
also produce a blue color when treated
with alum. The privet, boiled In a solu-
ton Of salt, furnishes a serviceable color,
and the over ripe berries yield a service
able red.
The seeds of the common burning bush,
''euonymus," when treated with sal
ammoniao, produce a beautiful purple
red. The bark of the currant bush
treated with a solution of alum produces
O brown. Yellow is obtained from
the bark of the apple tree, the box, the
ash, the buckthorne, poplar, elm, etc.,
when boiled In water and treated with
alum. A lively green is furnished by
the broom corn.-Scientifio American.
