The immensity of India grows upon me. In
my railroad travel / have passed through cities
Of which had never heard. aud am surprised
to fad Bombay nearly as big as Philadelphia
and growing like green bay tree. India has
60 cities Of over $4,000 inhabitants. Calcutta
Is bigger by 100000 than Chicago; Madras is
larger than st. Louis; Hydcrabad, a native
city, Is bigger than Baltimore; Lucknow Is
bigger than Cincinnati. Cleveland or Washing
ton Benares has moro people than Pittsburg,
and Delhi, Patna, Agra, Bangalore, Amritsa,
Lahore. Allahahad and Jeyporo are bigger
than Pittsburg, Buffalo, or Newark. N. j. All
told India has about % towns Of more than
100000 inhabitants, and the little cities of be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 number ] $50. The
people swarm, and in many districts there is n
steady increase of population. Here in Bonn
bay tho city has grown since the English got
control of it. little over 200 years ago. from
10000 to 100000, and IL Is now the biggest
city England has outside OF England. It con-
tains nearly every race on the face of the
globe, and you SEQ representatives from every
part OF Asia upon its streets. There are Ma
hometans from India and Persia, Hindoos from
all parts of HindOostan, and savages from tho
wild States of Afghanistan and Beloochistan.

THE republican executive commit tee in meeting assembled last week recommended for appointment" C.. c. Waters of Little Rock to be sttor- ney for the eastern district of Arkan- sas; 0. M. Spellman of Pine Bluff to be marshal of the eastern district; J.. M. Kinser to be postmaster at Hope {; J. F. George to be postmaster at Oar danelle; z. T. Grayson to be post master at Prescott, and W. W. Bra shears to be postmaster at Russell vile. The lucky aspirants are high ly elated over their success, while the Left, and there are numbers of him, is corrrespondingly depressed, not to say hopping mad, The rec concentrations have been forwarded to Washington with Grand Mogul Clayton's own approval and the ap- pointees are Impatiently awaiting their com missions.

GRAND SAcHEM Powell Clayton, and leaders of the Republican party from every section of the State, met in Little Rock last week and ID addition to apportiouing the federal offices among the faithful proceeded to put up ajudicial ticket for the democrats to knock out on the 2d ult. Judge Lafayette Gregg of Fay etteville, who was the republican can didate for governor in 1886, Judge Elmore Mitchell, circuit Judge of the Ninth judicial district, and w. F. Hill, county and probate judge of Pulaski county, compose the ticket. Every one of them is a renegade dem- ocrat, gone over to the republicans for the spells, and it ought to give the democratic party of the State es- peciAl delight to shelve them iu good shape and consign them to the pollt- ical oblivion they so justly merit. If democrats are to be elected let it be those who have had the courage and manhood to stand by their principles and never deserted their party for the sake of office. Gregg, Mitchell and Hill are good men to defeat and it should be fairly and hoporably done.

GROVER CLEVELAND and a mum Der of his cabinet secretaries have gone to Cuba to be absent several weeks. They have gone for pleasure and re- creation, rendered necessary by their long and srduous public services. Really, Mir. Cleveland's position is much more enyiable than Mir. liar rison's. The latter is entering upon long term of public stewardship the most trying and exacting that can be imposed upon sn American citizen. The outcome at best is doubtful, and hls future is filled with world of work, trouble and anxiety. MT. Cleveland has passed through the ordeal and is to day honored and respected, in the prime of life, comfortably situated 80 far as this worlds goods are concerned, and with Q future bright and inviting as can be imagined. Sure it will not be denied that Mir. ! Cleveland, rather than Mir Harrison, is to be envied.

DR. NoRwooD Tn recent interview in Little Rock openly avows his pur pose of leading the Wheelers into the support of the republican State judicial ticket if his influence with them is sufficient to accomplish such a result. Some time ago when the DEMOCRAT asserted that the wheeI movement was a republican side show and would eventually be used to assist republicans In getting Into power again, sharp denials came thick and fast from every quarter ot the wheel camp. Now, we see their acknowledged champion and leader openly consorting with the leader, of the republican party-chief oi whom is Powell Clayton himself, and using hls position and influence in the organization to bring them into the support of the republican ticket. He even has the assurance to say:
 "I was Democrat once, and fought Clayton and his crowd with all my power. but we are living un der different order of things now, and prefer to support that side, and the Wheel will do it too. The Republican ticket will get larger support from the Wheel than any vote they have given anybody here totore."
 This is a slander upon the demo- cratic part of the Wheel. and one they will take great pleasure in re- fitting when it comes to voting on the 2d ut. The democratic mem- bers of the Wheel of the State in general, and of Pope county in par will show MT. Norwood that he can not sell them like 80 many sheep to their political enemies to satisfy his personal ambition. It is fortunate that the willy Doctor has shown his cloven foot thus early. His little game will be exposed and in all Arkansas there will not be a deader politician than c. M. Nor. wood. Partyless and friendless he will be consigned to the political potters field unwept, unhonored and

h behooves the democrats of Pope county to look well to the various townships and see that there is . good turnout on the day of election Tuesday, April 2d. The republicans have put out ticket and will make an effort to muster their entire strength at the polls. Go to work. Awake enthusiasm, and poll the full democratic vote. We cannot afford to let the republican ticket be elected, and thereby give them a majority oi the supreme court. The way to avoid it is to vote for the democratic ticket and insist upon every one oi your neighbors doing likewise.

Consumption is on the Increase.

From recent statistics it appears that Consumption is on the increase throughout the western states. The principal cause, 1t is stated, is due to neglect of common Coughs and Colds. It is the duty of all persons. whether of delicate or robust health, to have s remedy at hand at all times in readiness, and a cough or cold may be broken up before it becomes seated. BILLIARDS HORE- HOUND SYRUP will cure any cough except in last stages of consumption. A stitch Tn time saves nine. Always keep it in your house.

 "When Powell Clayton charges that Henry Gordon, of Morrilton, Billie Reynolds, of Russellville, and Barlow LeMoyne, of Dardanelle, each of them postmaster of their respect. i've cities, are offensive psrtisans he utters dirty and malignant he."
 He accomplished his purpose just the same and hung up their nomin- ations in the senate. We suppose he is now chuckling over the thought of how easy It is to down a democrat when backed by a repub- lican executive and senate.
