An Address.
arkansas Bureau of Immigration.

arkansas Bureau of Immigration.
Logan II. Roots, president; Dan
dridge McRae, vice president; Geo.
r. Brown, treasurer.
The undersigned, composing the
executive committee of the Arkan-
sas Bureau of immigration, organi-
zed by the convention held at the
State capital on January 3lst and
February lst, 1888, take this method
of calling the attention of the people
of the State of Arkansas, to the im>
portance of the work began by the
convention.
You have state second to
none in the Union in its natural re-
sources.
1t is equal to any state in adapta>
bility to raising cotton.
Its fruit has carried off the first
prize wherever exhibited.
AS country for vineyards it has
no superior.
1t has almost boundlcss fields of
the finest steam and heating coal.
1t has lead, zinc, iron, manganese,
antimony, silver, gold, gypsum and
other metals in profusion.
1t has more miles of navigable
rivers than any other state.
1t has every lay of land and vari~
ETY. of soil that can be found any
where.
There are two million of our land
belonging to the state, 100 acres of
which she will donate to each actual
settler.
The st. Louis, Iron Mountain and
Southern Railway Co. own 100000
acres of fertile lands, extending di-
agonally through the state, from
Missouri to Texas, and from Little
Rock to the Indian Nation, which
they will sell on long credit.
Although but about 200 miles in
length, north and south, it produces
every kind of crops usually grown
in the temperate zone, as well as
many of the semi tropical fruits and
crops.
1t has a fine and rapidly improving
public school system.
Its rate of taxation, limited by
constitutional provisions, compared
with that of the other states is quite
nominal.
1t has vast forests of pine, oak,
ash, walnut, cherry, hickory, pecan,
gum, cottonwood and other varies
ties Of timber.
1t has salubriour and healthful
climate.
1t has a railroad traversing in
ry direction already in operation,

Some of the opposcrs Of the Blair
bill seem to be aciuated through
fear of, and lack of confidence in,
their own Judgment. Don't let
it pass. 1t is a trick of the high
tariff republicans" is about the
tenor of every objection, now that
the constitutionalty Of the measure
cannot be questioned. Cowardice
never was rewarded, only on the
"fool for luck and negro 70" gourds"
theory.

James G. Blaine, the statesman
from Maine, with views most sane,

that he does not want to be president

OF course all lard and oil frauds
should be taxed, so that our farmers
could sell pure lard for the usual
price, and so the people would know
Just what they were buying.

others building and more projected.
1t has cheap and good building
material.
1t has splendid building and pay
ing stone.
1t has cheap lands of excellent
character.
In short it has everything that
could be asked by the earnest imml-
grant seeking a home where his
labor would be fairly remunerated.
Notwithstanding all these advan-
tages, your state has not made that
advancement which she should have
made, because her citizens have fail
ed to present these advantages to
the public and make them known to
those seeking to better their condl-
ton by changing location.
The convention above referred to
agreed upon a plan Of action which,
if it receives the hearty support OF
the people, will turn the attention OF
the country to Arkansas and give 1t
fair start in the race for prosperity.
The railroad companies operating
roads in this state have agreed to
issue excursion tickets to any part of
the state semi monthly at half the
usual fare good for thirty days, and
will commence as soon as the COM
mittec n)tifies them that the people
are ready for the work to begin,
which will be when the county bu-
reaus are established, the necessary
funds raised, printed matter ready,
and proper committees appointed,
charged with the duty of showing
them over their respective counties.
The convention selected one per
son in each comfy, whose duty it is
to organize a bureau of immigration
in their respective counties, to gath
cr statistics, and raise money to carry
out the plans arranged by the con-
vention. These men will call you to
organize and to raise fund OF
$50, 900 in the state, in the proper
ton in eachcounty that the assessed
value Of the property in the county
bears to the aggregate value OF
the property of the state, one-third
tobc 81 ent blythe executive committee
in advertising the state at large, and
two-thirds to be expended by the
respective county bureaus.
TO make this work effective there
must be hearty cooperation among
all the people. The work must
be begun promptly and pushed with
vigor.
The convention which inaugurated
this work, was composed Of leading
men from nearly every county in the
state, Uuen who love the state and
have its good at heart.
VIII the people of Arkansas re-
,pomd to the call made by the con-
vention, and show to the world what
she may be made.
There are thousands Of good live
men in the United States who are
eagerly seeking reliable information
as to the different sections of coun-
try. Men who can be secured to
build up our waste places, and assist
us in working out the destiny of our
state.
Your active, earnest and immedi-
ate cooperation, will rebound not
only in the welfare of the state at
large, but to your individual good as
well.
People Of Arkansas, your place is
in the front rank in the march Of
The question to be decid-
ed by you is, will you take the place
to which you are entitled, or will
you allow the prize to be snatched
from our hands by those who make
up their lack of the advantages pos
sesscd by you, by superior energy.
Respectfully,

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
The Minnng-,n-Tr.nsit Question.


The milling -in-transit" mode Of doing bust
ness the last eighteen months has done more to
disturb freight rates than any other feature OF
railroad operations, and but few business men
understand the meaning Of ''milling-in-transit'
mode of doing business. Some who are benefited
by it do not. "Milling in transit" Is allowing
wheat that is loaded st points in the Northwest
and billed to Chicago land perhaps to other
points,, to stop ss mills en- route for grinding
and then forwarding the -four and bran
produced from it on the original contract.
There may or may not be a switching charge OF
1 cent to ii cent extra, but that cuts no Inquire.
The trouble between the roads is that the new
roads built TO get business from milling points,
like St Paul, Minneapolis, Red WING aud
Winona, insist that this freight shall De put
into the pools and divided as originating at the
milling points, while the St Paul, North
western aud perhaps others claim that this
freight. originating on their own ROADS. ana
simply stopped in transit for milling,
should not 60 into the pool for division. In
competing point freight starting from q local
point on their line. As q large part OF the
freight east from these milling points Is the
product of grain brought in by the older roads,
who have extended their lines into the new coun-
try to build it MP, and who have been operating
these extensions at q loss for several years,
these roads do hot wish to divide that business
with the new lines; while the new lines, having
little or no local business, insist on q share OF
all the business out OF the milling points, as
otherwise they would get very little, The new

A Mild Mugwump Protest.

SpflugneIu hspuDHCdH.
The confidential order OF General Benst.
issued in January. 1886, constitutes q bad break
in the good record OF army officers touching
politics, and shows that under Secretary
the War Department While wearing a certain
guise of fairness, this official order inculcates a
most mischlevous principle. 1t assumes that
the Republicans have filed certain establish
ments, and directs that Democrats shall now be
taken. So far as the Springfield armory is con-
cerned we think the assumption underlying this
order is a fales one. The popular i'm preston
has been that mechanics have been hired when
competent without regard to politics " +"
The fact that Jay Hubbells circulars used to be
sent TO all United States armorers by no means
proves that the men who received them we're
Republicans, and We do not remember that they
came from army headquarters; but the re-
c~oenition OF politics 10 the ordnance depart.
mAns might lead 20 that sort Of thing.
