senger returned accompanied by one
of Col. Lamont's assistants, who stat.
ed that Mr.. Cleveland begged to be
excused; he could not see anyone, and
he had no further information in re-
gard to the election than that receiv-
ed by the associated press. This
message was fully understood by the
journalists. There was no Cleveland
news to give out, and Mr.. Cleveland
declined to assist in the dissemination
of Harrison news.
1t is noticeable fact that among
all the excuses made by Democrats
for the election of Harrison, no Demo-
crat has charged the Republicans
with fraud. This is all the more re-
maTkable from the fact that it is the
first time in the history of the Demo
cratic party that it has accepted de-
feat without charging fraud against
its opponents.
Mr.. Cleveland, by his graceful ac-
ceptance of defeat, has set an ex-
ample that might be followed with
profit by the loud mouthed shouters
aud kickers of his party, who have
claimed everything in sight, no matter
whether their claims had any founda.
ton or not, until compelled by the
full and complete returns to give in.
Chief among this class is Mr.. Brice.
For two days after election he kept up
an absurd claim upon the vote of New
York State, without the slightest
ground therefor. Such claims do a
great deal of harm by keeping up the
excitement necessarily attendent upon
Presidential election.

RAILROAD LANDS.
The Land Commissioners of the Iron Mountain Railway and the Ark
 ansas "Valley Route.'

Colonel Thomas Essex, land com- missioner of the St. Louis, Iron Moun- tain and Southern Railway, and Hon. Thomas M. Gibson, of the Valley Route, are men who were at work set tling up Arkansas long before such a thing as an immigration convention or any other concerted action in this be- half was thought of. The names of these two gentlemen are familiar to nine out of every ten people who, dur ing the past few years, have looked toward Arkansas either for homes or investments, and so, without some reference to them, publication devot- ed to the resources and attractions of Arkansas would be signally defective.
 Engaged as Colonels Essex and Gib- son are, in the same line of work, CO., operating with each other, and, for that matter, with every promoter of the interests of Arkansas, it is in accord with the eternal fitness of things to consider them both in the same article and to make their portraits prominent illustrations in this particular issue of THE ARKANsAw TRAvELER.
 Colonel Essex has been for fifteen or twenty years, to our certain knowl- edge, in charge of the landed interests

The exhibit made by the St. Louis, Iron Mountain Southern and Little Rock and Fort smith Railway companies at the Ameri- can PomologIcal Society's annual show, com prises one of the finest displays of fruit ever seen in this part of the country. It is . reve- lation to New England horticulturists, and is receiving the attention 1t so justly merits.
 The collection is entirely the product of Arkansas, and consists chiedy of apples and pears. The display comprises sixty six varie ties of native seedlings,by far the largest num Der ever shown in the nfted States All of this fruit is sound and of delicious flavor. The specimens are marvelously large and it seems almost incredible that such results are ob- tained without the employ ment of artificial aid. There are shown seventy varieties of ance, distance anything iB the same line ever before seen in this or any northern city. No state in the Union, it would seem, can com pete with her in this line, fact that Is becom- ing known through the enterprise of those V hO wish to see the states vast fields settled upon and under the hand of cultivation.
 CALIFORNIA ECLIPsED.
 The fruits of Arkansas not only took the first prize at Boston, as they had previously done at New Orleans, St. Louis and the Southern Exposi- tion at Louisville, but now comes the news that Arkansas has eclipsed California, as we learn from a dispatch from H. c.

The number of derangcd people trying to gain access to the emperor of Germany Is remarkable. Hardly a day passes " ithout such an occurrence. The other day two such unfortunaies entered the palace simultaneously. IL was a man and woman. The latter was the wife Of poor boatman, as- serting that she was a near relative of the cmperor's and had to sec him after yearS absence. The man was well dressed, with look of distinc- ton about him, and \ flow of white hair on his head and long whiskers-- altogether venerable looking, sym pathetic figure. He said he had en- gagged to marry the daughter of the king of Italy, and being German and a subject Of the emperor, he had to obtain his msjesty's permission before perfectiBg the marriage. Both per- sons were taken to the insane ward Of the Hospital of the Charlie st Berlin.

as big as this page, set in solid agate, to contain them. And all these peo- pie are Colonel Gibson's fast friends, regarding him in the light of bene- factor for having led them to this sunny land.
 Colonel Gibson is man of striking presence, gracious manners, with that rare attribute, dignity that pleases rather than repels; man whose can- dor and honesty of purpose cause those who once become his friends to re- main his friends for life.
 It is a matter for congratulation to the commonwealth of Arkansas that such vast interests as the lands of the Iron Mountain road and the Valley Route are in the hands of two such men as Thomas Essex and Thomas M j. Gibson.
 While the columns of this paper contain 8 great deal of information about the attractions of Arkansas, nevertheless a glance into recent pamphlets issued by the lsnd depart ments of these railways shows that much has been left unsaid. For in- stance, Dr. David Dale Owen, one of the highest authorities on such mat ters, says:
