Everybody to His Trade.

Nothing is truer than a man who attempts to be jack at all trades IS successful in none. Equally true is it too short for aman to prepare him. self for graphing with all kinds of diseases. We need specialists in medicine, and in large cities it is be- coming more and more the custom for physicians to adopt some favor ite special line of practice. The names of many such become familiar the world around, as that of Dr. Douglas who attended General Grant or that of Dr. Foote, of New York, whose original ideas of and success ful practice in chronic diseases have become widely known because his entertaining writing and remarkable cures are to be found in almost every county of every State in the Union. His favorite work, ''Plain Home Talk" has worked it's way around the globe both ways, via London and via San Francisco to Australia and New Zealand with the result that the doctor at his office, l20 Lexington Ave. New York is in receipt of con sultation letters and reports from pa tients in every foreign mail. But this prophet is not without honor in his own country and it's is mainly from his own countrymen that Dr. Foote invites free consultation, and to whom he offers the benefit of his thirty years experience. His ca reer and success alone proves the adyontaOe of succialism

The Prescott Dispatch tears its shirt because we expressed ourself in favor of Cleveland's reelection. The Dispatch should remember that long ago, when the greenbackers went off after Butler, we stated our position--in fact many years ago we said that thereafter our support should be given to the very best men for office regardless of their party politics. Since that time we have fought it out on that lin0, and have never regretted but one vote cast by us, and that was for Ansley for rep resentative from Nevada county - but then, when we cast that vote the poor old man was thought to be sane Independent.

It begins to appear that Sullivan was "done-up" by Mitchell. John l.. ought to have known that name rep resented big lot of muscle. At least it is well known in Arkansas ever since an exhibition of it was made in Little Rock barber shop last year. There it was Mitchell vs. Mitchell, the former coming out vic torious. Had the latter had another ''r' to his name a draw" would probably have resulted. As it was, he was vanquished and said: That opponent of mine is demon. Look how the last syllable of his name s mells of sheol!" No sir if Sullivan had been a reader of the Arkansas papers he would have steered clear of Mitchell.-White County Wheel.

The Dardanelle Post, one of the best of all Arkansas weeklies, in re- ferring to Hon. J. G. Fletcher's can didacy for Governor, uses the fol- lowing vigorous English, every word of which is true:
 MT. Fletcher is man of high personal character, superior business qualifications, generous and genial all who know him frankly admit. But there is grievous charge against MT. Fletcher-that of accep- ting a wheel nomination for govern or four years ago. That was truly a great mistake, and much capital will be made of it by the friends of the "opposition," but believing that Mir. Fletcher is as good as any of his op- ponents we think it but just for the people to remember that MT. Fetch CT was solemnly assured by numbers of the members of the nominating convention of 1884 that he was ''eu- chred' out of the nomination Dy trickery after clear majority of the votes had been cast for him, and that while burning under the wrong or supposed wrong done him, he ac- cepted a nomination at the hands o1 the wheelers. In accepting. he did so with words becoming the act but unbecoming to MT. Fletcher. This was his sin, committed under excite ment but repented of and promptly corrected after reflection. We do not hesitate to say that if MT. Fletch- CT was a fit and proper man for gov ernor before 1884 he is such yet Only those who make no mistake should take the indiscretion of ar hour under extraordinary temptation and stand it up against whole life time of honorable service

We have no war to make on MT. McRae, or any other man, but one thing we can truthfully say, and that is, if Senator Barker is elected to suc- ceed him in congress the country will lose nothing by it. That McRae has done his best no one denies, but to claim that he is the best represent ative this district ever had as some of his organs are doing) is putting 1t on just little too thick. Some peo- pie are curious to know just what Mir. McRae has done which entities him to the reward of being a better representative than those who went before him.-The Monticellonian.
 The above is from Mir. Barker s home paper, in Drew county. And first, we will say we have no war to make on Mir. Barker. This paper might be considered "one of his or gans," as that paper dubs the pa pers supporting MT, McRae, but we rise to deny the imputation made This paper is stralght-out Democrat ic, and while it supports and favors Mir. McRae from choice, is the or gan of no one man or set of men, We have never made the assertion that MT. McRae is the best representative this dis trict ever had, but presume the paper that did make it, (if such is the case) is prepared to easily prove it. Heretofore we have referred to our present congressman commen- dable record, and will here say, 1t will bear honorable comparison to any of his predecessors. The Mon- ticellonian makes q mistake in thus referring sarcastically to Tom Me Rae's record and insinuating that those papers who are conscientiously supporting him, are overdrawing the facts.
