A SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN LEADER.

BENTON, Ark, Feb. 1889.
EDITOR HERALD. The late appal-
ling tragedy in this state--the assassin
alton of Col. John NJ Clayton, served
to call some attention to a man who
is often mentioned but little really
known in tho North. and consequently
much misunderstood and uniustly de-
preciated. | refer to Hon. Powell Clay
ton, the leader of the Republican party
in this state.
1t has been the policy of the Demo
cratic and Mugwump papers to repre-
sent him as low, unprincipled
"scalawag.' ami the Republican papers
of the North have fallen into a way Of
tacitly admitting it. Many, dare say,
believe he is Confederate Brigadier"
who has turned against bis section"
like Malone and Mosby, for the Repub-
lican loaves and fishes, and few indeed
know that he is really gallant. one.
armed Union soldier, who has for the
last fifteen years led q forlorn hope in
politics as bravely and persistently as
twenty-five years ago he led his Kansas
blue-coats raiding through the same
state. If he had remained in a pro-
gressive Republican state like Kansas,
he might have been where Ingalls, now
is, and his name, if mentioned for Har.
rison's Cabinet(as it has been) would
not be the target for the sneers of men
who are ignorant of his high character
and great ability. l think in Cabinet
making Harrison is likely to go past
Clayton and do worse by it,
The other day the leading Democrat
of this county. Col. Whitthorne, brother
of Congressman Whitthorne, of Tonnes
see, told me that, outside of politics, no
word of disparagement could be truth
fully said against Powell Clayton--that
his private character is irreproachable.
This testimony of a bitter political
enemy, who knows the man well, ought
to outweigh good many sneers of
Mugwump editors. who don't know
anything about him, personally.
Although the murder of John M.
Clayton is foul blot on the name of
Arkansas, it would be unjust to suppose
that such crimes are common every
where in this state. In this county and
in many other counties, mans life. be
he r publican or not, is as safe as any
where in the United States. One line
in the dispatch describing the
assassination is very significant: "Plum-
merville is a whiskey town and the
sound of shooting is very common and
attracts no particular attention. !" This
county is prohibition county, and
there are many such in the state--as
quiet, orderly and safe as any part Of
| the country. G. n. HoLroRD.

which still survives as The title OF The

settlers came, but they had little capt.
tai and nothing but strong arms and
brave heart to sustain them 10 the cause
of civilization. A few of them, il is our

At the time Wisconsin was admitted as
a state, Fennimore had but few scat
teriug inhabitants; when the civil war
broke out it had not many more; but
numerous gallant men responded to
their countrY's call. The village was
not laid out until after the war. John
q. Perkins put up the first house, and

is still standing and occupied by ). +.
Doane as harness shop. The village
grew slowly, very slowly: but received
renewed vigor when ID. T. Parker.
ST., who owned vast tracts of land
on Fennimore prairie, established
well-directed store. and still greater
one, when the railroad was built. With
time, it soon began to rapidly develop,
until to-day its prosperity is assured.
ln 1885 the village was incorporated
under the general laws Of the state.
1t contains some of the finest farming

Such names as Parker, Tormey, Dan

\ NUMBER of our prominent citizens
arc talking up the ACCESSIBILITY of plac-
ing in an electric plant for street and
house lighting in connection with the
Excelsior Works. This is an excellent
idea and should be speedily pushed to a
climax The expense would be NOM

started Lancaster might have water
works, who knowsp BY all means lot
the plant be put in, our streets are
wrotchedly lighted, and it would give the
town a smart look exceeding captivat-
ing to both residents and visitors. Then
again it would be small protection
against fire. Lamps are liable to ex.
plode. They DO have that uncomfort-
able way of getting rid of themselves
and sometimes they take good deal OF
property along too.
Let the cost be estimated; paper
DO passed around for either subscrip-
lions to stock or agreement to use the
lights, and the thing win almost be ac-
complished.

CRIMINAL ExTRAvAoANoe

The collapse of the Panama Canal
scheme brings to light an amount OF
wasteful extravaganza that would
swamp any enterprise. The most sur
prizing feature is that people could be
induced to continue putting money in
it without making some inquiry, An
interview with recent resident pub
lished in the Chicago EUeniDg Journal
says that when the Compagne Uniyer-
selle Trans-Alantique began work in
1880 il gave out no contracts, but pre-
pared to dig the canal itself, and, under
the liberal guidance of Count DE
Lesseps, made ample provision for such
comforts as were possible in that Sec
ton. Towns, hospitals and other mod
ern improvements were introduced. At
Colon, the French quarter is laid out
like park and improved like an Europe
an villa. De Lesseps built, at the COM
pany's expense, a residence for himself
and another for his son at total cost OF
$3.50, 900. The frescoing of De Lesseps
pere's house was said to have cost $50,
coo, and everything else was on a cor
responding basis, and yet neither house
has ever been occupied.
The hospital at Panama cost $1,000,
600 and other preparations for the com
fort of the canal company's employees
were on an equal scale. Within the past
| two years the streets of Colon, which
were previously almost of the consis-
tency of mortar, have been macada-
mized and the principal street has a
substantial board pavement. Before
these improvements were made the only
wheeled vehicle in the city was the
carriage provided for the hospital
nurses, but now cabs abound. All
along the proposed line of the canal
money has been lavished for the COM
fort and even luxury of the company's
officers, all of whom lived, while the
bubble fioated, like princes. This ex-
travagance had counterpart in the
way money was thrown away on the
work of canal digging until three or
four years ago. when contracting began,
and altogether there is very little to
show for the vast outlay Of $3.50, 900, 900,
which is said to be the amount sunk.
1t is said $4,000 negroes at one time
worked on the canal, and as they re-
ceived small pay, few of them saved
enough TO get away when the collapse
came. What will become of them or
how the thing will be finally wound up
no one seems to know. But that the
canal is busted bubble is certain.

causes painful running sores on the arms,

By taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some Of these
cures are really wonderful. II you suffer from

"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-

old till she became six years OF age. Jumps
formed in her neck, and one OF them after
growing to the size Of pigeons egg, became

her Hoods Sarsaparilla, when the lump and

appeared, and now she seems to be healthy
