MINISTER GRANT.

The nomination of Col. Fred Grant
to the brilliant Austrian court meets
with general disapproval and the re-
publican papers are free to admit
that it is the poorest appointment
made by President Harrison. The
New York Sun has to coin a word to
express its detestation of Col. Fred
Grant. 1t calls him 'hebetudinous,"
which is a refined way of saying he
is stupid. The Sun unsurpassed our
feelings in this matter, and had he
not been the son of President Grant
he would never have been mentioned
for this or any other important Of
fee. Our government has been rep
resented at Vienna by such distin-
guished statesmen as John Jay and
John Lothrop Motley. To succeed
these Col. Fred Grant is a pretty
small man, but fortunately for our
government the position calls for lit
tie diplomacy.

PAYING FOX PARTY SERVICE.

President Harrison has nominated
Whitelaw Reid, editor and large own
er in the New York Tribune, as min
lister to France. Admitting that Mr..
Reid has intellectual and social quail
tiles fitting him for such a position,
it must also be admitted that the APP
pointment is a reward for party ser
vice There is especial objection to
Reid for such position because of
his bitter partisan course in the last
campaign. 1t is claimed by some
that man holding such an impor
tant place as the one to which he is
appointed, representing fifty millions
people at foreign court, should be
a man of such a record that anyone
in the entire country could feel free to
avail himself of his services. 1t
would seem that there were those in
the Senate who thus felt, as his con-
firmation was stOutly resisted for
three and One-half hours, but the
final vote stood % to 13 for confir
nation.

BLOODY RACE RIOT
At Forrest City, Ark.-Three White
Men and One Negro Killed.

FORREST CITY, Ark, May 18.-Our
quiet city was Mortified at 2:10 O'Clock
this afternoon by the most terrible trag-
edy in the history of the county, resulting
in the death of three good citizens. For
several days past excitement has been
high over the school election, and A. N.
Neely and G. w. Ingram (both colored)
have been making incendiary speeches
advocating the ousting of the whites from
the control of school affairs. Neely has
been disturbing element in the politics
Of this county for some time, having al
most absolute control of the negroes. To-
day large crowd assembled at the juno
tion of Washington and Front streets, in
the vicinity of the polls. The exact origin
Of the trouble cannot, in consequence OF
the terrible excitement, be ascertained at
present.
AS near as can be learned, it seems
Neely had fight with a white man, and
was knocked down by by-stander. He
then ran to Capt. John Parham for protec-
ton. Marshal Folbre interfered and COM
manded peace. Thomas Fl. Parham, son
of John Parham, heard the disturbance
and came running down stairs from the
County Clerks office, where he was en-
ployed as deputy, with q pistol. in his
hand. He saw the Marshal and his father
in close proximity to each other, talking
excitedly, raised the pistol and fired, the
ball striking Folbre in the back of the
head. In falling Folbre raised his pistol
and fired two shots. Tom Parham fell
mortally wounded and died in short
time, falling to the sidewalk. Sheriff D.
NJ. Wilson came running to the scene when
a stray bullet struck him piercing his
heart, killing him instantly. His only
words were: II am a dead man." 1t is
supposed ball from Neely's pistol killed
Sheriff Wilson.
Capt. John Parham is thought to be
wounded, but refuses to allow the W ound
to be examined. Wilson and Parham are
what is known as Fusionists. Thus three
of the best men in the county were seen
lying murdered upon the street at the same
time. The cries of the afflicted families
were heart-rending. Ladies from every
portion of town rushed through the streets
searching for husbands or brothers.
FORREST CITY, ARK, May ia. NJ.
Nicely, the negro who started the whole
trouble, and who took refuge in the Advo-
cate building, was discov cred secreted un-
der the floor and was riddled with bullets,
at least ten shots being fired into him. 1t
was thought that others of the Neely gang
were concealed under the floor, and the
party made an extended search, but found
no more.
