purity there ARE advantages TO its
members, and this Is not amiss.
But when high party ANS md
professions IRE lost Sigh q 81
D gApdoned, ana the bsnclIt 81
ofIIcc-holding and personal vel
care all that remain to inspire
party victory, not only is the con-
Iidencc Of those relied on for pa
triotic support forfeited, but the
elements Of cohesion, and Of the
elective and lasting political
strength arc CONC. Whom We
eek for the cause Of the perpetu-
ity Of the Democratic party, and
its survival through every crisis
and emergency, and in the face
sof AL opposition, VIC find it in the
fact that its corner stone is laid in
devotion to the rights OF the pe0-
pie, and sympathy with all things
which tend to tlic advancement
OF their welfare aud happiness.
Though heresy may sometimes
have crcpt into its organization.
and though party conduct may at
times have been influenced by the
stiffness which is the habitual
device Of its opponents, there has
always remained deeply imbcded
in its nature and character that
spirit Of true Americanism, and
that love of popular rights, which
has made 1t indcstrnctibIe in disl
aster and defeat, and has consti-
tuted it a boon to tho country III
its time Of triumph and suprem-
sry.

snrIBy CouSry, Tennessee In which the city Of
Memphis II located, has recently elected lady su-
pcrutcndcnt OF the Public Schools of the county
aud two other counties Ia the State have done like.
Nizc This Is an innovation, copied from otncr
states. which thrcntcns Ia become general II ever
woman suffrage Is Acquired IN this country q will
slil In through the public school system. 30 Lfd,
Etot Gd:,G
II could not slip through any better
channel. But why should II slip through
any channel? The right Of suffrage in
heres in woman; it is her brthright no
less than mans, and TO grant IL 10 her now
il merely to reconicr what was hers by
right Of law, equity and justice in most Of
the States for many years and until the
word "male" was inserted in their consti-
tutions. Women "arc and Of right ought
to he free" as free rs men. II our es-
tccmed contemporary would make the
restoration Of that freedom by the State OF
Arkansas TO the women of that State its
standing order Of the day II would do a
great work and secure GROWING glory
for the Commonwealth.

Another Policeman Who Is UNIT 70 Wear

THE APPEAL is again compelled 10 com
plain Of an arbitrary arrest an indiscreet
aud presumably incompetent policeman.
This time 1t is not Officer Kelley, but Of
licer Ford, who ought to be dismissed from
the service as soon rs the commissioners
can reach his case.
The facts in the case make out such an
inoxcusablc case Of wanton cruelty that II
seems strange that man wearing tho city's
uniform should be the guilty party.
II appears that a poor woman named
Frances Palm, who lives at No. 10 Syci-
more street, near the Woodruff sawmill,
where the recent iire occurred, was suffer.
ing from chills and fever. Thinking that
FIRE might help her, she got little arm
basket and started out TO the ruins Of the
mill and picked up a basketiul Of charrcd
pieces OF wood Of ten inches average
length and burnt black. Their value Is
incstimablc because there h no human coin
small enough 10 measure H. A CARLOAD
OF such sluiT would not sell for cents.
Officer Ford came along, saw what the
poor lady was doing. and yankod her h
the S,ation-housc, where lac entered up a
charge OF larceny" Tho stolen goods
were inspected about two hours afterward
10y an ArrEAL reporter and Squire John
Barry who estimated their value nj less
than cent. The girls father and mother
came along, and reported that the officer
had treated the girl bruialy In maKing
the arrest. They wanted the girl released,
and were referred % Squire Barry, who,
In view Of the charge Of larceny" had 10
make the bail SIPS, aud was kind enough

THE Sdrdis Reporter does not take TO the
suggestion OF The IIea Point Forum, that
Senator Walthall be nominated for Gov
ernor Of Mississippi by the Democratic
party. 1t says in very decided tones that
it cannot consent to his giving up his
seat in the Senate to accept any other
position whatever. Having so recently
been reelected for full term OF six
years, he could not afford TO disregard
the almost unanimous expression Of the
public wish for him TO remain where he
Is. and we, with thousands OF others,
should regret 10 see him do 80, nor do we
believe lac will. No, no; let Walthall stay
whore he is" SO says The APPEAL. II is
true there is an exigcncy upon tho Demo-
Gratis Of Mississippi to break up the ring
and nominate a man who will unite the
Alliance people, the temperance people
and those who are opposed to the convict
lease system, but there are plenty Of good
aud true Democrats in the State who can
do this, who have the confidence of the
people and have all the ability and integ-
rity essential 10 an honest administration
Of the Office. Let Walthall stay where
he is.
