Our RaI,y.

.In March last, our baby when six months old, was taken down with what the physicians called .sbronchitis" tan ordinary cold) and was very sick for two weeks; she seemed to be filled deep in the chest with phlegm which we were unable to loosen; sue could not lie down at all, but had to be held upright else it caused her to cough severely : the physician did not give her any relief, although the prescriptions were changed every day and some. times twice day; this treatment continued about ten days and we Il
 nally determined to try q bottle oi Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. We obtained bottle and after giving a few doses she was relieved, breath ing easier and throwing of the phlegm and getting to sleep, getting well in lew days, and we believe we owe her life to the use of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. Our old
 est girl is subject to croup and has had several severe attacks but the Cough Remedy has brought her out all right with two good doses and we would not go over night without a bottle in the house. We have great faith in It." Signed, Wilbur E. Wells, Lulie L. Wells, 1881 c street, Lincoln, Nebraska. Sold by w. G. Weimer. u

CARDINAL Manning recently salo that a starving man had a right to his neighbors' property. This is a very unwholesome and dangerous doctrine to advocate. It is a viola tion of law both moral and civil, and If such a principle were enforced it would be destructive alike of law and society. There are starving men who are wilfully so, men who have neglected their work until they have drlfted into starving condi- tion; men who have recklessly squandered their substance, and are therefore starving; and men who utterly refuse to work and starva- tion is legitimate result. All these would have right to their neigh bors' property if the cardinals phi losophy were carried out practically. Such a doctrine should not be advo- cated by such men.

ONE of our distinguished and es- teemed journalistic contemporaries suggests that congress pass bill increasing the number of leap years. It is not stated, however. whether the move is for the protection or re- ductlon of old bachelors or old maids. It should he stated whether the doctrine is for protection, pro- gression or aggression. In thls con- nection allow us to remark that the leap-year ball IS raging but the ia tai leaps are few and far between. We know some though who are standing on the spring board ready to plunge in.

Burning Truth.

We reproduce the following short extracts from the great speech of Senator Voorhees, in the senate, in defense of the presidents message There seemed to be patriotic in- spiration upon him that enabled him to drive to the center of truth. He said: "Slr, does 1t not seem that those who cayll with Mir. Cleveland and denounce his views on tariff tax. ation are such as have pre- determin- ed quarrel, and would not approve the declaration of American inde- pendence if it came from his hand?"
 He said further: "My heait is flu of appreciative sympathy for the Americaa laborer and his household as they gather around their troubled fireside, often in penury, sometimes in actual want, and never in ease or atiluence, but l have never yet con ceived 1t a remedy for his privations aud anxieties to increase the tax on his blankets and bed clothing, or on his salt and meagre tableware, while his employer, for whose profit such taxes are paid, is left wholly free to fix his wages, reduce them to the starvation point, or deprive him of work altogether"
 These declarations uncsp the situ- ation and lay bare the truth. And when making them, a master hand was touching the highest chords of human sympathy as well.

The Prohibition Alliance.
Little Rock Press, 12th.

The State Prohibition Alliance IS now in session at Morrilton, with about l50 delegates present, there being among the number some of the most prominent men of the state. The temperance work of the Alliance, like that of all other tenn perance organization in the state, has been political, and the vote againt license has increased from 1000 in 1878 to 63,O0O in 1886.
 During the sitting of the Alliance Prof. A. R. Hopkins, of New York, made an address and urged the for nation of anothc. party with prohib- ition as it's object. A spirited reply was made by Judge Cypert of Scar. cy, the president of the Alliance, contending that new party is not necessary, and for the reason that the temperance element could secure everything from existing parties that it possibly could accomplish through a new party.
 Under the laws oi Arkansas every township in the state can be subjec- ted to prohibition, If the people wish It. Certainly it is accomplish ing more for Arkansas than the pro- hibition party of New York is doing, whose example Prof. Hopkins is so anxious should everywhere be fol lowed. Just Tn this is illustrated the difference between the temper ance movement south and the pro hibition movement north. The one aims at genuine reform, and is accomplishing it. The other is more of political than a temperance organization, aiming at an impossi- bility and accomplishing nothing; wasting it's strength in partivan warfare, the shuttlcock of shrewd politicians. The one promotes, while while the other lmpedes temperance reform.

THE Globe Democrat proceeds to nominate candidates for the presi- dency. Two weeks ago it had up the name of Conkling, and now 1t has up that of Chauucy Depew. But Blaine and Sherman are still ahead of all others. Some of the repubIi- can papers contend that Blaine has no desire to enter another heated campaign. Perhaps he is too tired for such q race; if not, and i'll the event that he enters the race, when he comes out defeated he will be too tired to ever dream of another race.

ARKANSAS EDITORS.
What Some of Them are Giving
 Us.

The CIarksville Economist sees a great deal to praise Tn the presi- dents message to congress. 1t says:
 The late message of tue President on the tariff question has Il ring of patriotism rarely discovered !n doc nments of the kind in these latter days. But few men would dare ex press such decided convictions, con- victions at variance to the opinions of half his own section and a large number of his own party, and that just in the face of another election, when the chances are all in favor Of his renomination.
 It is manly document and say. ors strongly of the patriotic senti- ment, "I would rather be right than President"
 But few men in the unlon in or out of office, would, under similar circumstances give expression to such convictions.

TIE State Prohibition Alliance, while in session at Morrllton, did some thoroughly good work, the most important of which was to make arrangements for thoroughly organizing .ho symperauce forces throughout the State. Thorough organization and systematic effort can in short time put into effect i've operation the temperance laws of the State, and rapidly push forward the cause of absolute prohibition.

HoN. w. E. THOMPSON, state su- perintendent of public instruclion, has written a letter to all the county examiners urging them to get up petitions to our senators at Wash. ington to do what they can to se- cure the passage of the Blair bill. The passage of this bill will secure
 to Arkansas Sl,000,000 to be dis tributed throughout the State for educational purposes. Half of that amount would build 1000 school houses worth $500 each, and there would be left $5oO,O0O to go into tue school fund of the State. It is conteDded, however, that the bill itself IS unconstitutional, and, of course, undemocratic. Senator kea-

This is the view taken of the pro- hibtion question by the Press Ea- gle, and it is undoubtedly the correct view:
 Prohibition sentiment is undoubt- cdly increasing in this State. A number of large towns like Monticel- 10 and Newport, in which liquors have always been sold heretofore, now come under the operation of the three mlle law. In fact, Little Rock, Pine Bluff, Fort Smith, Texarkana, Helena, Camden, Arkansas City, Walnut Ridge and Argenta are the only important towns in the State at which whisky will be sold during the year 1888. Unless the licentious and objectionable features of the liq : uor traffic in these places are done away with by the dealers, it will on- ly be 8 question os few years time when there will be no exceptions to the complete sway of prohibition throughout the State.
