 0vERPRoDUCTION OF COTTON.

The New York Chronicle, reviewing paper by Mir. Wells, who fears some thing like overproduction of cotton, shows that "in October, 1872, after a crop of 6,277 900 bales, the supply car ried over, visible and invisible, amounted to 2,453 900 bales. Nor was this unprecedentedly large. For the next five years the supply did not fall below 2,300 900 bales. But in more re- cent times we find that even after the enormous crop of 1883 GIG, ,40S, 900 bales), the amount carried over was only ;, 2,405, 900, or less than it was in 1872; while i'll subsequent years it has not reached 1000 900, and, including the current year has probably not aver aged $50 900, of which over $50, 900 bales is invisible. In other words, this shows loss of nearly eco 900 bales since 1883, about all of it in the visible supply, leaving only about 200 900 bales in sight that is, stock in ports and afloat all over the world) for spin nert current takings, wholly made quate amount for the free working of the mills, as each summer proves and every one in the trade knows. Or, consider it from another point of view. Compare the years of commercial de- precision now with those of the preccd- ing period of the same character, we find that the absolute surplus has di- minished twenty per cent, that the total crop has increased about forty per cent, and that the proportion of surplus to total crop has diminished fifty per cent. Whatever such facts mean, they clearly do not mean rela- tive overproductfOn.-A

THE GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION.
Calling an Immigration Con nvention to
 Meet in Little Rock on January 31

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Jan. :, 1888. To the County Judges in the State oi Arkansas:
 Resolutions adopted by the Board oi Trade of Little Rock, the Real Estate Exchange of Little Rock, and the di rectors of the Arkansas Exposition re- quest the governor of the State to cal . convention in the interest of immi grafton, to meet at Little Rock or Tuesday the 3lst inst, to be composed of one delegate from each county, to be appointed by the county judge of the county.
 One object to be accomplished, as expressed by the resolutions, is to in. duce the railroads to give frequent ex- cursions to the state, at reduced rates of fare to immigrants and home seek. CTS, as is being done to other States l heartily concur in the purpose, and respectfully ask the county judges tC appoint delegates to attend the con- vention at the time and place indi- cated. An abundant population is the essential, fundamental element of the wealth, strength, greatness and glory of all States.
 Our resources are varied, rich and abundant; our soil fertile; our climate genial and excellent. We need more people to help us utilize and enjoy these advantages, and to aid us in all frightened civilization!
 SIMON P. HUGHks,
 Governor of Arkansas.

THE Texas press is still employed and paid to howl for immigration, and it undoubtedly earns it's salary. The poor devil of a farmer or mechanic who goes to Southwestern or Middle Texas rarely comes back, from the simple fact that it is too far to walk, and he never can make money enough to pay his fare back on the railroad Any sensible man who has been to Texas and investigated the condition of affairs will bear us out in saying that it is the most thoroughly over rated State in this country. When it rains it is too wet; when it don't rain it is too dry. Colne to Arkansas.

THE MARTYRS OF RUSsIA.

The story of Russian brutality, as told by George Kennan in the Century Magazine, is one that cannot fail to arouse the sympathy of all free people, Americans particularly. for the men and women who, as martyrs for liberty, for their inherent and natural rights have made the long march to Siberia under circumstances of cIuelty % remorseless and baseness 80 infa- nous as violated all feeling of purity and chastity. Mir. Kennan tells a story of revolting cruelty and ono that fully justifies the extremity of passion and vengeance, accounts of which frequently come to us from Europe as the spasmodic efforts of men con- tending with the relentless brute force of government that has only one common standard for the unfortur nate subjects of the CZar. Two generations ago the people of Europe were greatly stirred by the story of "Elizabeth, the Exile of Siberia" {" which did as much to arouse public sentiment m behalf of the million. of serfs then grooming in that country under an abiect system of slavery as Mrs. Stowe's Uncle Toms Cabin did for the negroes in slavery in this country. 1t is story that is often yet read, and never fails to move the reader to pity and to tears for condi- tions of life to which Americans have happily always been strangers. But it is weak when compared with the chapters Mir. Kennan has published in The Century of prison life in the most wretchedfy governed of all the nations of Europe. He recounts the sublime heroism of young women who go with absolute self-abnegation to the perpetration of crimes against the relentlessly fiendish officials who re- sort to every method of espionage and eross-examination, every method of deceit and lying, false swearing and perjury, deception and duplicity to en- trap whole families, to ruin homes of comfort and crush innocent men and women because a relative is suspscte of nihilism. Reading the awful and soul-harrowing tale, one can easily realize why the nihifists are growing in numbers and why they are so ftful in their outbursts. The ruler who deals with his people after the merci- less fashion so vfvidly painted by Ken nan makes himself an outlaw. He cannot expect to be otherwise treated than AS wild beast. threatening the empire indiscriminately with death and destruction, thus declaring the in-

IF we had longer terms of office and fewer elections would it not be betterp Let the State and county officers hold for four years and judges for six and eight years. The chances are that we would be more particular in the selec- tion of our officers. The fact that we are enabled to turn an official out at the end of year or two years has a tendency to make us careless in the selection of such Officials.-Democrat
 This may be true, but it is no req son for carelessness. In selecting can didates the utmost care should be taken to get men who will guard the interests of the whole people, men who are able, with good common sense and nerve to back the sense, and in other respects to fill the offices for which they are selected. If at the end of a first term they are found competent, and show disposition to be fair the people should re-elect them. Such a law or state of affairs might be all right for Pulaski county, but we rise to thank providence that no such law existed in St. Francis county at the time of our last election. We are decidedly in favor of changing two or three of the present incumbents just as soon as possible, as they are run ming sores upon the public neck.

THERE "a difference of opinie

THERE is a difference of opinion as to whether Auglomania or economy is responsible for it, but the fact re- mains that more pipes are seen in the mouths of well-dressed smokers of late than for several years past. A brier- wood pipe with straight amber stem is the correct thing, and in the hotel Hobbies, fashionable drinking and lounging resorts, and on the street such pipes are frequently Seen nova days. There is one thing in their favor-the smoke from them isn't half so offensive as that puffed into one's face by the cigarette smoker. There are people who say the smoke isn't so injurious to the smoker taken in that WAY

MIss Minnie Blackburn.

Death, which casts gloom over happy households, has again visited the family of our friend and brother Hon. W. Jasper Blackburn, editor and proprietor of the Little Rock Republi- can. It has been but 8 short time since loved son--Douglas-was call ed by the Master, and now Miss Min rie, the only and much loved daughter, has passed away. She was confined to her bed about five weeks, and after much suffering breathed her last on the 9th inst. Miss Minnie was . beautiful specimen of Southern femi- ninity-bright, intelligent and loved by all with whom she associated. She was in her lifetime an intimate friend of ours, and we admired her for her womanly grace and quick wit. In her death her family has lost an obe- dient daughter and loving sister; her acquaintances, a true friend. We ex- tend our sympathy to the family, and join their grief with our deep regrets.

A MAN had some cattle killed by a wild train in Iowa by the Northwest ern road, and brought suit against the company, and the latter had the best of the case all through, but when it came to the word "wild" in the naming of the train the jury defined the word "wild," which they found was, accord ing to their imagination, a train that was run by maniac, and did not look out or stop for anything. They ac- cordingly rendered verdict giving damages to the cattle owner. The company then gave orders to have the name changed-wild trains to read special, to take effect on all the lines on the entire Northwestern system.

THE proclamation of Mayor Hay ner, of Newark, N. J., is an unique document. In complaining of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad company, the mayor says: "A few first-class funerals, the sub jects furnished from the directors of that railroad, would make room for a reasonable board-one that would not treat a city of l65,00O inhabitants, that pays them hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly. worse than they treat any country village from H,bokep to Buffalo. It becomes us on all occa- sions to be reconciled to the will of the Lord. If in His wisdom He should see fit to remove some of tue directors of the road the city of Newark would be perfectly reconciled to His merciful dispensation."

 THE bloody-shirter, John Sherman, in his attack upon the presidents message to congress was answered most beautifully by Senator Voorhees,. Proceeding to discuss the message of the president he said that it was a pleasure to him to declare that this remarkable state paper was true to the principles and teachings of the democratic party from its foundation by Jefferson, eighty-seven years ago, to the present day, and that the thanks of the laboring and business classes of the country were due to the executive for seizing on that vital issue with the grasp of a strong. honest man, and for presenting it to his countrymen in such shape and light that it never would disappear until the wrongs therein presented were exposed and redressed, and until the outrages of over-taxation ceased. In the present age of swollen pretense, of shallow aristocracy and of gilded vulgarity, the splendid utterances of the presidents message fell on the minds of the peo- pie as a token-as promise of relief, reform and redemption from one who had never broken pledge or forgot ten public duty. The president had declared for the lowly and oppressed. Since the matchless and immortal inaugural of Jefferson, on the 4th of March, 1901, no communication had ever emanated from the chief magis- trate of this government more able, more elevated in statesmanship, more humane and benevolent in its purpose, or more conducive to the general well fare and good government than the message under consideration"

It is for the purpose of inducing railroads to give frequent ex- cursions to Arkansas, like they do to Texas and other States, at reduced rates of fare to immigrants and home seekers.

About one hundred members were present. Con- siderable business of judicial nature was transacted, but the reading of the presidents address was postponed till the 5th, in order to give other mem- bers who had not reached the city a chance to be present and receive the benefits to be poured out upon the as- sembled multitude. Many of the ablest men in the State were present, and State and National politics were leading themes talked of at the Capital Hotel at night.
