GOVERNOR Hughes has not yet or dered an election to fill the vacancy on the supreme bench caused by the death of Judge Smith. It is thought this duty will be left for Governor Eagle and he may possibly wait. to see if the legislature proposes to in- crease the number of judges to five, and in such event he will order the election for three judges instead of one. Among the probable candidates are: $. F. Hughes, D. W. Jones, w.. s. Mccain, s. w. Williams, s. F.. Clark, J. M. Pittmsn, P. D. McCul- tough, NJ. T. Sanders and W. K. Hem ingway. The two last named seem to possess the advantage over the field at this time. Judge Sanders is an eminent jurist, sound and practi- cal, and very popular in his district. Mir. Hemingway, of Pine Bluff, was one of the electors for the state at large on the Democratic ticket, and made brilliant canvass of the state In the recent campaign. A resolu- tion passed by his home bar says:
 "Mr. Hemingway has been mem- Der of our bar for a number of years, and we know him to be eminently qualified for this honorable position, He is Tn the full vigor of manhood, a profound lawyer, possessing judlc- ial mind and of studious habits, and we feel confident that he would dis charge the duties of the office with credit to himself and to the entire satisfaction of the people of the State"
 In the selection of either one of the distinguished gentlemen named above the state would be sure of a good judge.

APOLTCY OUTLINED.
Dr. Meek of Craighead County Announces Some Measures
 That He VIII Advocate.


 Dr. J. A. Meek, representative elect from Craighead county, in a card to the Jonesboro Times outlines the policy which he proposes to pur- sue in the next general assem ably. He says that the legislature should require the railroads to fence the roads, or failing to do so should be held responsible for all stock Killed. He favors abolishing the peniten- tisry lease system and having the state take control of the convicts. He wants a better road law, one that will subject no one to road duty un- der 2l years of age, and asks: How would 1t do to fix poll tax on those subject to road duty for those pur- poses, which the person so assessed shall have the privilege of working out or the road or paying Tn money?
 The legislature should submit an amendment to the constitution great. ly reducing the exemptions as fixed under the present constitution.
 In regard to election laws he says :: i've must have change isa an. siec tion laws, so as to render fraud in elections impossible. During the re construction period, vicious and cor rupt practices were introduced in the elections in this state, and It ap- pears that since the government has passed into the hands of the democ- racy that in some portions of the state they manifest disposition to follow the vile and unlawful practic- es of their political opponents. This must be suppressed and effectually. To allow it to continue would be to ruin us as party, and would over. throw all civil authority in the state and inaugurate anarchy and rum in it's place"
 Concerning the negro question he expresses hlmselfi in these words: 'sI am in favor of the repeal of the four teenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America. Don't be startled, am not crazy. It must come to that. The government made a great blun- der when It adopted these amend ments, and it must retrace it's steps. We have our choice-disfranc chise- ment of the colored race or & bloody revolution. It is no longer section al issue, but good men of all sections and all parties recognize the great truth that the Caucasian race must govern America. I advanced this idea during the last canvass, ard since that time many persons of prominence in various portions of the country have expressed views in harmony with my idea. 1 propose to introduce a memorial in the next legislature, asking congress to sub. init an amendment to the various states repeating the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Consti tutlon of the United States. In my opinion this is the only satisfactory solution of this great political prob. lem.

 My estimates of the expenses of supporting the State government and maintaining our charitable in stitutions Is $400,000.

The parties being present, ready. anxious and willing to enter the state of connubial bliss, Esq. Harvey D. Wilkinson, the diminutive justlce of Beverly vas called in to officiate. It was the Squire's first case, and never having played even the part of a groom in a match of this kind, he was somewhat abashed, but rallied ana sprang nobly into the breach. After propoundlng the usual ques- tions and demanding an emphatic Il will' from each of the contracting parties, he concluded in something like this style: "Now, in the name and by the authority vested in me b. the great state of Arkansas. at the announcement of whose grand but undeveloped resources nations stand aghast, and makes the shin

GAINS FOR REFORM.
Returns Showing the Progress of Tariff Reform Through
 out the Country.
rNew York world.1

In estimating the growth of the tariff reform sentiment the only far method of arriving at the truth is to compare the vote in states that would be most affected by tariff changes--the producers of raw ma terial which it was proposed to put upon the free list, and the states that have large manufacturing interests.
 The following states are all in this category, and the table shows the relative gain of the two parties in the popular vote compared with 12Sd.

CH ATTANooGA, TENN, June 27, 1888, The Swift Specific Co.,, Atlanta, Ga:
 Gentlemen.-In 1884 friend Of mine contracted 8 terrible case of blood poison, and at once sought the advise of the best physicians. After four months trial, with feeling of greatest despondency, he left Chatta- nooga for Hot Springs, where he re- mained three months. The treat ment there did not seem to do him any good, and with crushed spirit and with death in it's worst form staring him in the face, he came home. He saw an advertisement of your medicine. As his friend sup piled him with the first few bottles. l vas astonlshed at the result. Ali ter the third bottle the sores all dis appeared, and his recovery was rap Id. In three months he was hard at work, and there has been no return of the disease. l withhold his name from the public, but will send it in confidence to any who write for it. l give thls certificate cheerfully.
