We have received from F. F. Han sell, publisher, New Orleans, a copy of Hempstead's school history of Ar kansas, from the earliest times to tho present period. Having examined the work, we pronounce 1t a reliable and well-written compendium of ouI State history, well adapted to the use of schools. Indeed. it is valu- able work for all classes of our citi- zens, as it presents in succinct and condensed form much general and . authentic information. We there fore commend it to the people of our State as a reliable and instructive record of the most important events and facts which make up the history of our noble Slate, and hope to see it adopted in our public schools.

We are truly glad to greet oul bright and spicy contemporary, the Little Rock Republican, once more in our sanctum. Bro. Blackburn, though well advanced in years, seems to have lost none of the vigor and elasticity of youth, and we earnestly hope that his evening sun may go down without a cloud, and that his future success in the field of journal ism may be fully commensurate with his brightest anticipations.

Secretary of War Proctor failed to observe Mir. Davis death, by flying the flags at the National Capital at half mast, as is customary when an ex Secretary of that office passes away. Mir. Davis made the best Secretary of War this country ever had, and thousands of years after Proctor is forgotten, will lis name live in history as one of the greatest men of any age.

the reach of hope and mercy. But this is contrary to the general teach ing of the Bible, as we'll as of com mon sense. Life is the gift of God, and separation from God means death, or a total extinction of being. A perpetual miracle would be neees- sary to support this theory, and be- sides, it would involve the perpetua- tion of sin and suffering in the uni verse of God

Our readers will find quite an in- teresting article on our fourth page on the future of the race, which pre- diets that the English language will be the spoken language of the world in one or two centuries. This infer ence is drawn from the rapid increase and constantly augmenting power and influence of the English-speaking people of the globe, and it must be confessed that the facts and argu- ments in the ease give great plausi- bllity to the prediction. Such an event would materially tend to unify the race, and quicken all the ele- ments of higher, grander civiliza- tion.

There has been considerable talk and expression of preferences. on the part of the Democratic press, as to who will be the standard bearers of the party in 1892. It is too far off yet to conjecture or conclude who will make the best race for Pres ident and Nico-Presidcnt. Princi- pies, not men. should he our motto, and when the time comes all should harmonize and zealously labor to elect those selected. rhrusts made
 now at prominent statesmen who stand m the line of promotion, are ill-timed, and calculated to do harm.

REPUBLICAN MISRULE.


 The Republican party went into power on the 4th of March last, q little over eight months ago. Not withstanding the short period that has elapsed since Harrison took the rcins of government into his hands, there is strong evidence at hand to convict him and his party of gross misruIe.
 Before entering the White House, z, Mir. Harrison, in his inaugural ad- dress, said he intended to enforce the civil service laws, and in the ap- pointment of officers. make fitness and ability necessary qualifications therefor. He has willingly. know ingly gone contrary to both, in the wholesale dismissal of efficient Otli - cers without cause, and appointed to office ignorant and incapable men, despicablc to a large majority of their neighbors; in several instances have appointed negroes who could not read, as postmastcrs. In conse- quence of so many changes in the postal department, our mail facilities
 
 have been greatly iniured-often let ters are days and weeks on the road, when they should go through in less than twcntv-four hours. Of our per sonal knowledge we know this to be true.
 Already governmental expenses have been increased between twenty and thirty millions of dollars for the fiscal year, and there is no telling where the extravaganza will end. Corruption and prodigality have ever gone hand in hand with the Republl- can party.
 Trusts and moneyed corporations and combines are encouraged aud fostered by the Republican party. Blaine. Harrison's Secretary of State said they were private concerns anC should not be molested, but allowed to do as they pleased. The admin istraton has petted national banks by loaning them over forty millions of dollars free of interest; have petted land grant corporations anC railroads, and virtually promised the bondholders to stop silver coinage and thus increase their profits by making money more dear.
 One good thing has occurred, this corrupt, eXtrayagant party of mls rule, has received a severe rcbuke II the recent State elections, wheI Ohio and Iowa, Republican States went Democratic, showing that de cent Republicans will not longer tol crate it. They know that boodl' alone in Indiana and New Yorl elected Harrison, and since he ha repudiated his many promises, they repudiate him. A complete defea and terrible rout awaits the Republi can party in 1892. Then Democracy will supplant it, and good govern nent and general prosperity among all classes pnSuC.

The saloon. But few Of these people could
be prevailed upon to volunteer. Some were
indignant at Icing asked to ''desert their
party" Others shook their heads mourn
fully and turned away. Pretty SOON the
conscripting officers from the saloon came
up amongst these loiterers and began 10 ar
rest and drive them into the dark lines that
had marched ont of the saloon. These
rough, swearing saloon officers would take
hold of IA Good Templar by the collar and
chuck him down hard between a saloon
keeper and ragged sneak thief, or min
lister they would shove in between gambler
and burglar. The man waiting for pub
lie sentiment, and the Murphy temperance
man they hustle into line beside crooks and
bribe-takers. When the line was formed
the heelers and ward workers went along
delivering tickets, and the saloon officers
gave the command, Forward March /" and
the lines moved on to the polling places.
And then there arose from the flaming
saloons mighty shout of victory that rent
the heavens, their fires shot up in tongues
of flame like church spires and / turned

rabble at the hoarse command OF the saloon
officer, and other God fearing people from
whose lips there is constant prayer issu-
ing, calling on the vengeance of heaven to
smite the saloon, tamely obey the command
OF their brutal masters"
Again l turned to the plain and saw the
saloon fires were blazing on higher alters,
and those affairs were all built of votes.
And the votes on which the saloon rested
were curious conglomeration. There was
the vote Of the philosopher and the imbecle
the bar tender and the Good Templar, the
minister, the gambler and the counter feiter,
the temperance advocate and the brewer,
the highway robber and the officer of The
court, the prohibition talker and the dis
tiller, the saloon keeper and DR.. of Divin-
ity. And this odd mixture of votes COM

blazing saloons rested.

The transaction from long lingering
and painful sickness TO robust health
marks an epoch in he life of the indi-

treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been

it is that SO much is heard iu praise OF
Ele,tric Bitters. So many feel they
owe their restoration to health, to the
use Of the great Alternative and tonic.
