Hon. William CASTOR.

A notice appears in a recent issue
of the Washington CAPITAL that may
be of interest to our readers in this
State. That paper says: "Hon.

Dockery the Demagogue.
TPittsboro Record ]

Dockery is as deceitful hypocrite
as he is a contemplate demagogue.
He processes great love for the farmers,
and tries to excite their prejudices
against lawyers. He urges them to
vote for him because he is a farmer,
and against Judge Fowle because he
is a law yer. Yet in 1884, when a
white farmer and negro lawyer were
candidates for the Legislature in Rich
mond county, Oliver H. Dockery
voted for the NEGRO LAwYERl
White men Of Chatham, white men
of North Carolina, what think ye ol

Yes, in "a, the Democratic candi'
date for the legislature in the count,
of Richmond was highly respected
farmer named J. w. Sneed. He wa:
a plain, steady, unassuming old farmel

here we're the two candidates for tn
votes of the people of Richmon'
county-one an old steady whit
farmer and the other young negr'
lawyer-and Dockery voted for tn
negro lawyer!
But this was more than the othe
Republicans of Richmond could do
for Sneed was elected although Rich
mond is republican county.
Now, when Dockery calls upon tn
people to vote for him because he is
farmer and against Judge Fowle be
cause he is a lawyer, he ought to b
asked why HE voted against a WHIT
FARMER and for a NEGRO LAWYER!
/ OH Col. Dockery, you ought to b
ashamed of yourself, and go home an
stay there!

THE PRODIGAL DAUGHTER.

To the home of his father returning
The Prodigal, weary aud worn,
Is greeted with Joy and thanksgiving,
AS when on his first natal morn
A robe" and ring" is his portion,
The servants as suppliants bow,
He is clad in fine linen and purple,
In return for his penitent VOW.
But, ah ! for the Prodigal Daughter,
Who has wandered away from her
home
Her feet must still press the dark valley
And through the wild wilderness roam
Alone on the bleak, barren mountains
The mountains SO dreary and cold
No hand is outstretched in fond pity
To welcome her back to the told.
But thanks to the Shepherd whose mercy
Still follows his sheep, though they stray
The weakest, and cen the forsaken,
He bears in his bosom alway;
And in the bright mansions of glory.
Which the blood of his sacrifice won,
There is room for the PrOdigal Daughter
AS we'll as the Prodigal Son.

A farmer who shows that he is a stu
dent of political economy as we'll as a
tiller of the soil, says: As to the
tariff on wheat, it is of no benefit to
the farmer or any one else, for the
reason that We produce millions OF
bushels more every year than this
country can consume. No wheat is
imported, but we export large quanti-
ties to England, where we must sell at
free-trade prices, and if We wish to
exchange it for clothing we must pay
tax to get it into the United States
And SO it is with all else the farmel
produces, he must sell under free-trade
but to buy he must pay ruinous wa
tax"

AN EASTER MEMORY.

There is now and then day in the year. as it
rolls by, that stands out in such bold relief that it
seems link uniting the present with the far away
past by the sacredness of association.
Each year as the Easter tide comes to me,
bringing with it such throng Of memories, some
times l think l worship it for the sake of the
sacred past more than for the comfort it now
brings.
Dear, restful, care-free days of our childhood,
what wonder that as the burdens of matured years
Cypress us we look back to you as the heaven we
can know no more. Could we be assured that a
lifetime of good works would merit such joys as
you once melted out to us, would we not be con-

OUR INTERNATIONAL CANDIDATES.

Monday evening found large assemblage in the
hall of the house of representatives to witness the
opening of the democratic contest for gubernato-
rial honors
Five of Arkansas honored statesmen duly an
nounced themselves, and the campaign promises
to be rich and racy. The ball was opened by
"Our Governor" than whom no state can boast
more wholesome, manly, fine old gentleman, as its
chief executive. He gave straightforward re-
view of his stewardship during the past three or
more years; evidently believes in letting well
enough alone, and wisely counsels the state that
when she has good thing it is best to hold on
to it.
He was followed by Hon. John g. Fletcher,
man of fine physique and good presence who
made, however, slight mistake in reading his adj
dress, thereby losing somewhat in effect. He
claimed that his life was an open book wherein all
Arkansians might read at will, and though accused
of being one time 'coquet," met the accusation
in an honest manly fashion, excusing himself after
the manner of men who come with pure and con-
trte hearts to seek forgiveness of the wives only too
ready to forget the one little ofense, because it was
so nice you know, and so awfuly tempting,
COL Fishback followed in an easy, graceful vein
with facts and fances concerning the wonderful
resources of Arkansas He believes in Arkansas
the air, the sky, the water, the SOIL but above all
he holds an abiding faith in what is beneath the
soil Unlike the old man love that ''just did hold

Tops, string, marbles, rocks, nails, pencils,
crumbs, whistle, knife, nickel, rubber ball,
an apple and hundred treasures dear to his boy
sh heart He makes vast strides toward man
hood at once on coming into possession of the ad-
yantageous trousers There is a strut and a
whistle that belongs to the boy with pockets;
there is an assertiveness and an air of aggressive
ness that comes to him as a natural dover
1t is useless to try and demonstrate the fact
that this receptacle brings the same amount of
happiness to girl that it does to boy. It is
not the case. The feminine spirit of independence
is not assisted to being in any such manner.
Their paths diverge; she has no such resources to
fall back upon as he, and she loses from that time
on, till bye and bye her pocket is left out entirely
The masculine pocket possesses many charac
teristics and partakes of the nature of the owner
Sometimes the opening at the top is very large
and the pocket very shallow. This is unfortunate;
it belongs to the unthrifty man. Then again the
opening is very small and the receptacle is very
dark, deep and unfathomable This is the stingy
mans pocket. Its sole happiness is in consuming,
but it produces little else than discordant mind
and warps the better nature of the possessor.
The hen-pecked man is never quite sure he has
his own pocket; and the selfish mans has large
leak at the further end, and his wife earns the
reputation of being mercenary The money she
pnches her soul to save, he uses up in shaking
dice and in divers sundry methods best known to
himself.
But there is another pocket, and it seems never
to be quite empty. Not even the magicians skill
can produce the countless articles that continually
flow from its cavernous depths. Words are in
sufficient to gorfy it. 1t keeps the altar fires of
home burning brightly; it yields shoes for the
boys and niclels for the baby; and it belongs to
father. God bless him Deep as the love in
mothers heart is the unreasonable depths of
fathers pocket

out, his devotion reaches forth to the remotest
corner Of the state, yet still there is room in this
mighty heart for the hundred thousand immigrants
to come within the next twelve months.
Col. Eagle next took the stand. He brings to
the field bit of logic, pinned on as tail to three
or more facts. He believes in rotation of office,
and does not object to it's rotating his way. He is
deeply interested in the health of "Our Governor,
the future prospects of Mr.. Fletcher, returns the
love of Col. Fishback and feels well assured that
the fifth candidate lis young enough to wait. y
The fifth candidate now came upon the floor, and
it is very safe to say that if Arkansas were only
fair maid to be ''wooed and won,' the other four
would be left so far behind in this race as not to
get in on time to witness the inauguration Col
Rector suggests the idea of lighter campaigns,
wherein he might win laurels, long since beyond
the reach of the other four candidates, but for GU
bernatorial honors he will most probably 'wait''
for the slight stiffness of joint which seems to
characterize the greater number of successful asp
rants
1t is very evident to an observer that Arkansas
needs the services of all these gentlemen, and if
matters were so adjusted that all five might be-
come governors our state would shine out from
among the constellation the fairest, brightest star
EVERY Arkansian, whether man or woman, who
has spark of humanity in his or her composition,
or who has any regard for the fair name of the
state, must have read with feelings akin to horror
of the crueties brought to light by the nvestiga-
ton of the Coal Hill convict camp. 1t is many
years since Arkansas has had to stand beneath
the weight of so foul blot upon her fair name.
When investigated the responsibility must fall
somewhere, though we confess we are not we'll
enough informed as to the law in the matter to
say from our own knowledge who are the respon-
sible parties. We dosaySthat some one has been
cruelty neglectful of duty. Mr.. Allis, of the Ga
zette, has come out in manly article upon the
side of humanity. He even censures the paper
in which he holds great interest, for it's failure
to place the responsibility where, in his opinion, it
justly belongs. Replying to Mr.. Allis, the peni-
Tertiary commissioners state that their response
bilty for the safety and welfare of the convcts
ceased when then latter were removed from the
penitentiary. We hope and take it for granted
that the law will be indicated and the parties
guilty of such barbarous cruelties made to pay the
penalty of their henous crimes

MIR. CLEVELAND'S LETTER

Mr.. CIEvELAND'S lOng-looked-fOr
letter of acceptance evidently did not
suffer by the delay. OF the many re-
marka0le papers that have come from
under the presidents hand, there is
none which eXcels this letter in direct
ness of purpose or incisiyeness of style.
1t is manly letter, because there is no
dOdgiug of issues nor apologies for the
acts of past administration. 1t is an
honest letter, because il lays bare all
the aims and purposes of the Democratic
party. 1t is a courageous letter, be-
cause it grapples with Mr.. BLAINE'S as
sertion that trusts are private affairs
and not TO be interfered with by
President CLEVELAND, or any other
citizen" Mr.. CLEVELAND demon
strates his right to interfere with trusts
and the right of every American citizen
to attack these mOnStrous cOnSpiracies,
and boldly ayOws his purpose to keep
up the warfare against them until the
evil is wholly eradicated. 1t is a con-
vincing letter, because no unprecedented,
fair-minded man can read it without be-
ing satisfied that the Democratic party
is right on the tariff question. 1t is a
judiciOus letter, because there is not
line or even asyllable in it that his party
will have to explain away. 1t is Demo-
cratic from top to bottom.

UNPADRIODIC LIND.

In the course of his speech on the re-
taliatiOn bill, KNUTE NELSON remarked
that, while the measure did not receive
the appreciation of his judgment in
every particular, still he would vote for
the bill because he thought it would be
unpatriOtic to vote against it. And so it
would have been. And so nearly every
other Republican member thought, for
while many of them were too partisan
to vote for it on account of its being a
Democratic measure, yet they did not
dare to vote against it.
1t was different with JOHN LIND,
however. He and three other con-
gressmen manifested their utter disre-
gard of American interests and their
contempt for the nations honor by vot-
ing squarely against the bill. OF all the
Northwestern congressman, JOHN LIND
was the only one SO unpatriOtic as to put
himself on record as an enemy to his
country, and who would not be willing
to maintain the national honor under
any and every emergency. 1t is now
time that Mr.. LIND should step down
and out of congress ard allow a patriot
to take his place.
