The Latest Discovery.


When Newton discovered the apple
II must have been during the fall
When Fulton discovered tae steamboat
And Caina the raging canal.
when Eve set her eyes on the serpent.
When Franklin vent flying bis kito
And pulled for ais own observation
From the sky the electrical light
when Columbus wcut sailing the ocean
For . mythical India boU7d.

On American sou came aground

stand Shoulder to Shoulder.

To the Democrats of Pope County: Let me admonish you to stick to yonr party on next Monday. I learn there has been some grumbllng and dissatis- faction in our primaries. When you go into primary election or conven- tion your honor Is at stake, and if you don't get your choice you should walk up and vote for the nominee of the par ty and not let your private animosIties destroy the. party. That would eventu- ally destroy the fundamental prInci- ples of democracy. These principles conserved and expanded the republic In its better days and strict adherence to them will preserve 1t to the end. So the democracy of today, as in the past. believe with Jefferson in
 1. Equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious and political.
 2. Peace. commerce and honest friendship with all nations.
 3. Support of the State governments in all their rights as the most compe- tent administrators of our domestic concerns and the surest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies.
 4. The preservation ofthe general gov ernmsnt in it's whole constitutional vigor as the sheet anchor of our peace and safety abroad.
 5. A jealous care of all the rights of election by the people, mild and safe corrective of abuses which ere lepped of by the sword of revolution, when peacablc means are unprovided.
 6. Absolute acquiesance in the de- cisions of the majority, the vital prin- ciple of republics from which Is no ap- peal but to force the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism.
 z. A we'll disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace and foremost in war.
 8. The supremacy of civil over mil itary authority.
 9. Economy in the public expenses. That labor may be lightly burdened.
 ID. The honest payment of all eur debts and the preservation of our pub lie faith.
 II. Encouragement of agriculture and commerce as it's hand maid.
 12. The diffusion of public opinion arraignment of abuses at the bar of puplic reason.
 13. Freedom of religion.
 l4. Freedom of the press.
 l5. Freedom of person under the protection of the habeas corbus.s
 l6. Trial by jury impartially select ed.
 And to add to these the golden econ- omic rule that no more taxes shall be levied upon the people in any way than are necessary to meet the honest expenses of the government, and you have body of principles to sin against which has teen political death to every party in the past. Our standard must be the rallying point now and in the future for all good citizens who love and cherish our noble institutions, who love liberty regulated by the con- stItution and laws of our government. Now, fellow democrats, read this, and walk up to the polls next Monday, cast your vote, cast it prudently, justly and honestly.
 Yours Tn love of our noble institu- tiOns, J. M. HARKEY,
 Chm Co. Central Committee.

An Old Lie Revived,

The old lie that on recovering the state in 1874 the democrats robbed the s,ate of the permanent school fund has been resurrected for campaign purposes. The fuod consisted of thirty eight UniLed States bonds of 5000 each, drawing 6 per cent, or $22S0 a year. They were sold, and sixty four "Loughborou9h" bonds of 5000 each were substituted, thus increasing the annual interest of $3- $40, gam for the school fund of $1560. The result of the spbstitu- ton is stated below ln letter re- gently written to the Fort Smith FL evator by State Treasurer Woodruff;
 Editors Elevator: In reply to your favor Of the 9th inst; the permanent school fund mentioned had to it's credit 2S U. $. bonds which were sold for e4 LoughboroLgh bonds. Taese bonds were redeemed May l, 1885.
 Take the interest on O4 bonds at 6
 per cent from January 1, lS75to
 May l. 1886 6............... SIS, ,000 AhhSiNSh Ph PS NOlNo1 hiAiO s.s AOsDOD
 Which leaves net gain of $l9, 300
 The fund has now to its credit the sum Of one. hundred and thirty-six thousand dollars (sl36, ,000) in per cent bonds of 1875, or Loughboroughs
 Truly and respectfully, w. k. WOODRUFF, Treas.
 The democrats "robbed" the per manent public school fund by large ly increasing both the priscip and the annual interest. They benefited the fund to the extent that $64,00C at per cent is greater benefit than $3S, ,090 at 6 per cent. But this will not prevent the republicans and assist republicans from charging that the democrats robbed the school fund, and from citing the sale of the United States bonds Tn proof That is very small, dirty politics.

 Consumption is on the Increase.
 From recent statistics it appears that consumption is on the increase throughout the western states. The principal cause, it IS stated, is due to neglect of common coughs and colds. It is the duty of all persons, whether of delicate or robust health, to have remedy at hand at all times in readiness, and a cough or colo may be broken up before it becomes seated. BA IL AR DIS HOR E. HO LIN D SYRUP will cure any cough except in last stages of con sumption. A stitch Tn time saves nine. Always keep it in your house.

Sunday evenings by Mrs. Merriwcther of Memphis were clear, logical and ar qumentative, and, we dare say, made a deeper impression upon the minds of her hearers, than all the temperance lecturers heard by them in all their lives before. Possessing in a marked degree an intimate and ample knowl- edge of the subject in hand, gifted with the choicest language and happy faculty of expression, she at once fascinat- el and captivated her audience and held every one spell-bound from beginning to close. It is to be regretted that the inelement weather each evening pre- vented the attendance of many who were anxious to hear her.

Now, this is sminently correct, and quite creditable In Dr. Harkey to say so. But the question naturally arises if it is so, and 1t must be true or he would not have acknowledged it, what is the necessity of voting other than the democratic ticket in the approaching election? 1.-the democrats are all right, why run the risk of a change? And if the republican senate must go, how es- sential 1t is that we elect democratic legislature so as to insure the return of democratic senator? Your duty then is to elect Mir. Siblev and continue the good work inaugurated by the demo- crats, and so frankly admitted by pr. Harkey.
