A Great Privilege.

Nothing is more inspiring and awaken
ing to the mind, than to listen to the
talk of those who bring genius, deep
study, and long preparation to the dis
cussion of any subject. To see and hear
the foremost men and women of the
country i'll any department of work is in
itself an educating infence. To leave
our own pent-up neighborhood and see
what may be in the world beyond, to
pass through grand and beautiful re-
gions, to visit the historic places of the
country, and explore natures wonders,
will broaden and cultivate both mind
and manners: The National Educational
Association contains the foremost in
structors of the land; the city of Nash
vile, where it meets July Stb to Goth, is
rich in patriotic memories; that great
wonder of nature, the Mammoth Cave, is
on the route. Very low rates will be
made by ''The Burlington" the best line
from the northwest. For particulars call

If anybody believes the ex-Cofeder-
ates are conquered because they are
whipped, he is sadly mistaken. Gen.
Thomas L, Rosser made speech before
the Confederate Monumental Associa-
ton at Stanton, Va, which was char
acteristic and bitter. Among other
things he said: II approve all the
Southern confederacy did,. 1t destroyed
evil forces and re-established good ones.
Its monuments are to truth, patriotism
and glory, not brazen images resulting
from blemished hearts and conduct.
The North abandoned the race they
emancipated, except their votes. No
Greelys, Whittiers, Beechers or Browns
write or preach or die for them. They
are abandoned by the puritanical Yam
kee who wants to correct Gods mistake
and place the inferior over the superior.

The Florida Bourbons have discovered
and for aught we know, patented new
plan to prevent NEGRO domination," at
least, in the city of Jacksonville. BY au-
thority ola special act of the legislature,
the Governor appoints the City Council
and the City Council appoints all other
officers, and, of course, the whole ships
crew are Bourbons. It can readily be
foreseen that this piece of atrocious viii
lainy will in short return to plague the
inventors. The Governors pets will in
evitab]y get to stealing and in little
time the Bourbons will be as anxious to
get them out as they were to get them
in. Jacksonville seems to need, very
badly, little more yellow-fever; as the
last seems to have failed to- leave any ef-
feet in improving the morals of the
residents.

On Decoration Day, the orator of the
day, at celebration in Arkansas, took
occasion to declaim against the right
right Of Colored citizens to vote and said
that that was not what the soldiers of
the Union fought for. The sentiment
excited enthusiastic Kisses, the most of
his auditors being Colored men. The
orator claimed that the comforting Suf-
frage upon Colored men was not the
work of the soldiers, but of 'blundering
politicians" Now any fool can very
easily call his superiors by disreput-
able name, but that does not alter the
facts in the least, the men who took the
lead in comforting suffrage upon Colored
men were men of worldwide f,.me in
diplomacy, craftsmanship and literature
while the orator in question is "to for
tune to fume unknown" mere ranting
blather-skite, toadying to the prejudices
of society in order to earn an invitation
to some swell dinner party or to get
some few crumbs of official patronage.

Pine Bluff, Ark. June 8.

Editor of The APPEAL:-The event of
the week here was the commencement
of the Branch Normal College held in
the large auditorium, which was bril-
liantly illum mated by magnificent re-
fectcr, almost equal to electric light,
and gaily decorated with streamers,
flowers and pictures, almost equaling in
appearance a grand opera-house. The
exercises. generally, began at s o'clock
p. M. as that time best suited the con-
venience of the people. The attendance
was generally large, and at those of the
graduating class, was overlooking, hun
dreds being unable to obtain admittance
The exercises on Tuesday June 4, were
those of the Junior Literary Society,
consisting Of essays, declarations, ora
tons, ETC., all of which were admirably
given, showing that the training in elo-
cution had been practical and thorough.
The musical exercises, rendered by ou1
orchestra composed of students and
teachers, combining brass and string in
struments with the organ, were of a
high order of merit; not little Sunday
school songs and ballads, but each first.

Come. sThe Hunting Call,' and such
overtures as, ''The Contest" by Mueller
and"Hippodrome," by Boyer. The grad.
yates were: Misses Kate D. Barnett and
Anna c. Patillo; Messrs. Geo. F. Prev.
EFT, B. E. Reed, M. J. Harrison, VIM. B.
Coleman, Jordan A. Anderson, F. K
Howard, Thomas G.. Childress. Their
performances, without exception, elicit
ed great applause, and each graduate
was the the happy recipient of several
beautiful presents among which were
some of silver and gold. After the ad-
dresses, the diplomas were presented,
with appropriate remarks by Governor
j. ?. Eagle, who came from Little Rock
for that purpose. Mayor G. R. Breck en-
ridge, congressman, being present, by a
special invitation, made most excellent
address. The progress of the institution
since it's establishment in 1873, has been
steady and gratifying and it's students
are in great demand as teachers in the

SATURDAY, JUNE Is, 1889.

The change in tone of public
sentiment towards the subject of
Prohibition has, since the presi-
dental election, become very de-
cided, 80 that it is now almost generally
admitted that as remedy for the evils
of intemperance. it is ineffective and
Valueless. Before the election, there
was much wavering in opinions; but
many who never identified themselves
with the Prohibitionists really sympa-
thyzeel with and wished them success.
The decided change in public sentiment
has been brought about by the unwlse
course of the Prohibitionists themselves.
They were uncharitable. bigoted and in
tolerant. They allowed no one to differ
from them as to the best method of deal
ing with the subject;bu denounced
some of the oldest, ablest and most in
huential friends of temperance as enc
mics to their cause. They openly pro-
claimed their intention to destroy the
Republican party and scarcely made a
secret of their alliance with the Demo.
cracy. The presidential campaign
ground their party to fine dust and blew
it 'sover the hills and far away" and
gave to public sentiment the decided tone
to which allusion has been made. The
recent State elections have emphasized
the verdict; land henceforth, the time and
means that have been wasted upon this
impracticable plan will be devoted to
carrying out the ideas of such level
headed men as Drs. Crosby and Weston,
Bishops Ireland and Ryan, Cardinal Glib
bons and other sensible friends of tenn
perance and not in advancing the for
tunes Of such tricksters as Messrs. Will
lard and st. John.

Three Links Entertainment.

raul fry IN the Pioneer Press re-
Gently, tells the story of how a certain
manager for Vogler the proprietor of St.
Jacobs Oil, before the oil became ia.
nous, secured permission to go to New
York and contract for $4,000 worth OF
advertising. The enterprising manager
went and within short time made con-
tracts for not only $4,000 but 100000.
This represented every dollar Vogler
was worth, and of course, he was very
angry with his manager for so far, as he
thought, over-stepping the bounds OF
reason. Two months rolled by and little
was heard of the investment but so care
fully had the manager arranged bis ad-
vertising that it was impossible for the
people not to see and notice it, and at
the end of the third month letters and
orders were coming in at the rate OF
from 1900 to 5000 per day, and Vogler
died worth $5,O00,0OO. His manager
knew the value of printers ink.
The value Of liberal judicious adver-
Using even in the ordinary local affairs
was satisfactorily demonstrated Tuesday
night by the crowd that attended the
Odd Fellows entertainment-the largest
crowd tnat has ever attempted to get in
the hall, for many could not get in. A
short time ago one of the progressive
members of the Odd Fellows was very
much impressed with the crowd that
was drawn to Stevens Lodge Hall by the
advertisements in The APPEAL and
when the representative of the paper
put in his appearance he at once con-
tracted for the advertising which has
since appeared in the paper for the
Odd Fellows. He did this saying, II
will pay for it myself if necessary" but
the sequel proved that was not neces-
sary. Of course, when one asvertises
he must have something meritorious to
offer or success does not always follow;
but those who attended the entertain.
ment at Odd Fellows Hall Tuesday night
and were fortunate enough to get in, got
the worth Of their money. The follow
ing programme was rendered in highly
artistic manner: Overture, Eureka
Brass Band; bass solo, 1.-The Old Sex
ton," Mr.. ]. w. Luca; reading, 1.-THE
Jiners," Mrs. A. q. Russell; soprano
solo, ''The Song That Reached My
Heart. Mrs. w. H. Clay; tenor solo,
"Madahne," Mr.. G. A. Mason; recita-
ton, "Hannibal on the Alps.' Mr.. N.
Russell; trio, "As Pants the Heart
Mrs. T. H. Lyles, Mr.. W. A. Hilyard,
Mr.. J. w. Luca; piano solo, Mrs. T. H.
Lyles; selections, Eureka Band.
The ladies committee had lot of
potted flowers and an abundance of
toothsome refreshments which sold like
hot cakes on cold winters day, and all
who remained after the exercises had
delightful time. An interesting feature
was the awarding of the prizes to the
gentlemen who sold the highest num-
Der of tickets, Mr.. Kellis Bowen broug bit
n $G. 90 and was awarded fine gold
handled umbrella. Mr.. Andrew Jack
on brought in $500 and received an
elegant gold-headed cane. The Odd
Fellows return thanks to the generous
'ublic for their hearty response to their
all.
