MR. CLEVELAND as A SAGE.

It is the habit of Democratic politicians after
they have been Presidents to become SageS.
Indeed, the party custom is so liberal in its char
acter as to admit even those politicians who
have been mel ely candidates for the Presidency.

claims its origin-and we know Of no reason
why it shouldn't-introduced this amable Gus

Mr. Cleveland has an exalted idea of what his

realize it even if he be compelled to learn Poor

The organization of the Pan A mercan Con-
giess has been further perfected by the selec-
lion Of the various committees, to whom is as
signed the task of preparing reports on special
topics that will come before the delegates for
discussion and action. With the appointment
of these committees the actual work of the Con-
gress may be said to begin. OF special interest
is the composition Of the committees whose duty
il will be to outline the basis for a customs
union, to study the important question of trans
poItation by water and rail, and to devise
methods for uniform monetary system. All
the committees, however, have important and
serious work before them, and it is encouraging
TO learn that several of them will be ready to
nresent their reports on the reassembling Of the
delegates in the first week Of January.

 As all of our readers well know Col. Peel spoke at the pubic school building Tuesday night and took no part in the exorclses W ednesday except to merely int, oduce the speakers.
 In regard to that "secret confer ence" we will say 1t never existed except in the mind of the Register. Senator Berry and Col.

As for the "present policy" the Gazette we have heard only few speak of 1t and what they said was just the opposite of the Registers TO. port.
 So there IS the whole thing from bginning to end. A pack of false hood the whole way through.

For fear of being called egotisti- cal we dislike to reproduce compli- mentary notices of TIE NEWS, but we hope our readers will pardon us this tune; we publish the following to merely show how OUR paper and YOUR paper is looked upon away from home. The following should be source of qualification to every person in Springdalo as well as to the editor himself:
 TIE ESPRINGDALE NEWS has been en- larged to a slN-column quarto and greatly improvedin general make up. HE NEWS is splendid .local paper, and be it said to the credit of the baSl- ness men of Springdale, It is well pat rOnized. Democrat.

One of the Latest Exploits of Powell

Since it's establishment at Little Rock two months ago, the Arkansas State Register has been carrying things in a very big handed manner The Register is a very loud smell lng Republican sheet, is head oyer heels in love with Pcwell Clayton and was established for the pursose of fighting his battles and doing hls dirty work. Since it's establish men the Register has accused al most every prominent Democrat of State of being a ballot tox suffer, bulldozer CT negro whipper. 1t has been very ylndictive against Governor Eagle and has brought wholesale charges against the Democracy as being the murderer of Col. Jno. NJ. Clay ton and has also charged it with be ing responsible for the Forrest City riot. IL has also attacked the Arkansas Gazette, and with malig nancy known only to such disrepu- table sheets has sought in every possible manner tear down and ln- iure that journal. Nothing Demo. cratic has escaped the slanderons pen of this Kansas editor. Ono of the latest exploits of the Register IS the publication of an article in It's issue ot Thursday, Sept 26, purport- ing to be a special dispatch from this place in regard to tue tariff re- form meeting. The article IS as sollows:
