The Ineendiary Norwood.

NoRwooD, the republican nominee for Governor of Arkansas, is going about the State making the most in- cendiary utterances. He claims aililiation with any and every party, other than the Democratic party, which may have votes to give. He is charged with declaring to negro audiences that the Democratic party of the South is opposed to the education of the negro. In making such statement, Mir. Nor, wood could have been actuated only by the motives of the incepdiary. Such a statement is outrageously untrue. Instead Of being elected Governor, Norwood should be suppressed as a public nuisance. The stimulation of race prejudices and hostilities by in- flammatory appeals of this character is wholly contrary to the peace and good order of the State. Norwood seems to have taken few lessons from the late August Spies, hanged in Chicago for fomenting the trouble that culminated in the IIaymarket tragedy. If the propertyholders, the capitalists, the farmers, the laboringmen of Arkansas will consent to vote for such a man, THE APPEAL errs very much in it's judgment. Instead of assisting in the development of the State now so aus piciously begun. Norwood is using every means in his power to retard it.. It is not conceivable that the wheelers or farmers of Arkansas can bring them selves to consent to the election of such a man. To do so would be for them to commit commercial suicide. They must know that all there is of peace, order ahd prosperity in Arkansas IS due to the Democratic party, which dis sipated the awful cloud which hung over the State in the days when the Republicans were in control.
 It is not possible that they can be persuaded to jeopardize the welfare Of the State by disturbing the conditions which have brought prosperity. They have but to remember what the state was when Powell Clayton, whose can didate Norwood now is, had 1t by the throat, and contrast the conditions that then obtained with those of the present day. They cannot forget the dreadful story of that era of popular despair. They were democeats then; why should they consent to train under the parti- colored banner which Clayton has put into the hands of Norwood The wheel is not political organization, we have been assured time and again by the founders of that society, yet Norwood is going about claiming that he is sup ported by the wheel, making speeches which strike at the very foundation or social, political and commercial order, and all in the name of the wheel. The farmers of Arkansas should rise Tn bat tie array, and go forth to crush this Apostle of Chaos,
 We think the above a candid and truthful statement. It affords food for thouphf

Skepticjsul.

By reason of the state of chronic incredulity in which many men pass their lives they miss half the good of this world. They seem to think that doubt and unbelief are proofs of wisdom, and through fear of being deceived reject much that is true and good. To such minds the statement that Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery is real and proven cure for all diseases caused by torpid liver, bad blood or scrofulous humors carries with it it's own condemnation. They do not believe it, apparently, because we say so; and yet what more, or less, than this can we do? We know the facts, and if we did not make public the great value of this remedy few would profit by it. We try to do our duty in the matter and it remains for the doubter who needs help to over come his prejudice and give it trial.
