shortly afterwards gentleman by the name of Barnes, l think, who had q plantation somewhere on the route taken by this military squad and those prisoners, came into Ma rion, Crittenden county, and report ed that the militia had murdered these three men; whereupon MT. Barnes-if that is his nane-was ar rested by the militia and placed in the stockade, and after day or two was sent for by Capt. Cook, the Provost Marshal, and interrogated as to why he was in that military camp, reporting that the militia had killed these prisoners and telling these lies. MT. Barnes replied:
 II am not telling lies 1 am telling the truth. ''
 Capt. Cook asked: Why do you say that the militia killed these mem
 ''Because l saw them kill them, and know now where their bodies lie buried"
 It is to Capt. Cooks credit that he told this gentleman to be quiet II will send out scouts with you and ascertain the truth of this matter. He did so. and the bodies of MT. Harney, Dr. McAllister and Dr. Iii cer were recovered. The body of Dr. McAllister was givcnto his young widow the body of young Ticer was given to hls father, and Mir. Harney's body was taken over to Memphis to the Peabody Hotel, and there lay till his sister came on from Airing ton, Va. and took It home.
 This is but one of the many acts of outrage committed under the regime of Clayton, It was an act of cold blooded, treacherous murder, for which there was no excuse, and this was apparant to Clayton and his CO., horts that they caused an act of the legislature to be passed giving him and his militia indemnity against these crimes.
 This thing is known to all who lived in Crittenden county at that tune.

Powell Clayton's man secured the postmastership at both Little Rock and Eureka Springs, and there is much kicking among many of the better class of Republicans. But Clayton is boss, and only hopes to again control the State government, when he would again disfranchise whole counties and murder and rob the best citizens as he did before.

Some persons are naturally lnclin- ed to be too credulous, while others are the reverse; the first are the easy dupes of error and superstition, the second are apt to degenerate into croakers and skcpticS. As far as re- ligion is concerned, the former class are to be preferred, as they are more inclined to embrace some kind of re. ligious belief; while the latter are prone to reject all religion. and set tie down into confirmed misanthropes or pessimists The element of faith enters largely into all religions. and indeed in worldly sense it is the controlling principle even in secular matters. As the credulous man has this element in his constitution more largely than the naturally skeptical, so he is more apt to succeed irrelig- iouS or secular undertakings. But in either case, it is the mission of self-cuiture to restore the equilibrium, and thus avoid the evils of extremes.

THE SUGAR TRUST.

Of all the collosal schemes to plum der the people and enrich few at the expense of the many, the Sugar Trust. which has for two or three years past been perfecting its art fully laid plans, deserves the palm for the wide sweep of it's arms and enormous leyies upon the honest masses of the country. It has rals- ed the price of sugar by monopoliz- ing and controlling the mark ct four cents per pound and upon the basis of 200 pounds of sugar to the family, the average family consisting of five in number, the aggregate sum collected yearly in excess of cost under far competition amounts to sl20, ,OoO, O,ooo "a sum amply sufficient to defray all reasonable expenses of the gov ernment for at least one year. lhls is extortion and robbery under the forms of law, and special legislation is sadly needed to antidote such iniq- uitous combinations. Some of the States have already enacted laws to protect their citizens against trusts and combinations formed to force up prices above a normal standard but, in order to effcctually crush out this terrible monopoly, the Congress of the United States should take the matter in hand, and pass some gen eral law that will cover all such cases :, and protect the whole country against the rapacity of the vampires and bloodsuckers who are proving upon the life blood of the nation. At present, the only remedy in the hands of the people is, to discontn- ue the use of sugar, as well as every other article not absolutely indispen- sible. on which these trusts are op- erating. Salt is perhaps the only exception, and the people will be compelled to submit to the power of the combines, until some approprl- ate legislation can be secured to pre- vent such monopolies. The Protec- tive Tariff is really responsible for all the mischief growing out of trusts and monopolies; for the duty impos- ed on imports is often so high as to amount to prohibition, and thus the opportunity of monopolizing the home market, and throttling all com petition, is selzed and turned to ac- count by the ruthless and unscrupu- lous millionaires who are always on the alert for prey. Salt and sugar ought never to have been taken off the free list, and public sentiment will soon raise such an outcry against the monoply of these articles of prime necessity that they will be re- stored to the free list. In the mean time, the duty of the press and the people is, to demand the removal of the duty on these as well as all other articles of prime necessity to the country, and to insist on such re- duction of the tariff as shall be nec- essarv to restrict it to the object Of raising the necessary expenses of the government.

It is stated that the Republican administration is alarmed at the ti- nancial situation. Home industries are paralyzed; labor is not we'll em- ployed; wages are being reduced :; the taxes are piling up the surplus, and gold is pouring out of the coun- try in a steady stream, which threat ems depletion at home. The prop erty that lourished under the busi- ncss-hke administration of President Cleveland has disappeared And this lamentable condition has been brought about by the high protective tariff which robs the poor to enrich the millionaire monopohsts.

Miss Grace s. G. PerIey.

Miss Grace s. c. Perley, whose death was
announced in yesterday mornings paper, was
most estimable and highly educated young
lady. graduate of our Portland High school
and afterwards of Lassell Seminary and the
Department of Elocutlon in Boston Conser-
vatory of Music. As reader and elocu-
ZIONIST she ranked among the best, and had
but few superiors. Several urgent requests
from different places to take chagro of their
classes in reading and elocution, received
after her graduation, she was compelled to
decline on account of falling health and a
throat difficulty. Not content, however, to
remain idle, she kept up her studies, and
has long been known as one Of our best
scholars in the French and German LAM
guages. Three years since the writer was
told by French gentleman then visiting
this country, and who had met Miss Perley,
that she could converse in his native tongue
as easily and accurately as any American
lady he had met.
During the past few years her health has
been gradually failing. She was aware of it
and realized that not long hence Gods mes
senger would pass to her
''That golden key that opens the palace of
eternity
Throughout this sickness her hopeful,
cheerful disposition has doLbly endeared her
to her to large circle of friends who will
mourn her untimely death. We say cath
There no deathi An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best loved ones away,
And then we call them dead
He leaves our hearts all desolate,
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers" A.
