1t Is confidently stated that four members
Of the Harrison cabinet have been decided
upon. They are Messrs Blaine, Window.
Rusk and Wanamaker. Until few DAYS
ago it was thought that ex-senator Miller,
of New York, would be Secretary OF A ri
culture, but close friends Of Mr.. Miller iati-
mate that he will not accept the smallest
plum in the cabinet. The st. Louis Re

his influence in behalf of M. Window.
whose appointment as Secretary Of the
Treasury would be claimed as a Bl iine vic
tory. Mr.. Blaine Is getting the credit Of
shaping the cabinet.

Both have been tanned, both are made tight
By cobblers; both get left and right;
Both need a mate to be complete,
And both are made to go on feet.
They both need h-eling oft are sold.
And both in time will turn to mold.
With shoes tie last is first; with men
The first shall be the last and when

that Judge Emory Speer will be appointed

Judge Speer seems to be very well satisfied
with the position he holds. 1t is a life posi-

linquish it, and if he did, he might expert
ence considerable difficulty in exchanging
it for a cabinet position.

Speaking of the assassi.s Of Mr.. John NJ.
Clayton, the Chicago Tribune says: 1.-The
state officials have offered a reward for
their apprehension, and prominent citizens
Of Little Rock have also come forward with
an offer of reward. Why, then, has the
sheriff Of Conway county not done his duty
Why does justice hatF Probably because
it is no part OF justice for officers to go
around making indlscrimnate arrests.
When sufficient evidence has been found,
no doubt arrests will follow. 1t was hoped
that the Tribune had learned lesson in
patience, since, quite a number of years
ago, when Mr. Powell Clayton was gov
ernor Of Arkansas, Gen. Thomas Hiudman,
democrat, was assassnated under circun-
stances somewhat like those attending the
assassination Of Mr. Clayton, and in all tho
intervening time no reward mas been offered
by republicans aud no arrests have been
m ade.

Tho Electric sugar Fraud.

The startling developments promised in
the electric sugar refining frauds are
awaited with a great deal of interest There
mas seldom been a scheme for robbing the
public launched with more boldness and
shrewdpess, and there is quite a general
desire to know who conceived it and who
proh,ed byit.
OF course, the president Of the company,
Mr. Cottrel, and the secretary of it, Mr.
Robinson, say that the late Prof. Friend,
his wife, the Howards and the Halsteads,
are the guilty parties. MesSrs. Cottrell and
Robinson have shown commendable zeal in
prosecuting those who are charged with
The fraud. Their actions indicate that they
are Innocent Of any wrong doing Never
theless, those who have been swindled will
not be satisfied until there has been a thor
ough investigation, aud all the facts OF the
fraud made known.
Mrs. Friend and those who have been
arrested "a her confederateS declare that
they court an investigation, and that they
will make some startling revelations
They pretend that Mr. CotJrell made more
money out Of the fraud than anybody else,
and that he Is now prosecuting them in
order to cover his own wrong-dolngs. 1t is
probable, however, that this sort of talk
means only that the accused parties are
alarmed, and are trying TO escape the pun
ishmont which, if what has been published
about them is true, they so richly deserve.
1t seems marvellous that such sharp bust
ness men as President Cottrell and Secretary
Robinson should have been deceived by
what now appears to be so patent a fraud.
They invested in something OF which tuey
knew nothing, and permitted their friends
to invest in 1t. In fact, what the Friends
pretended to do was SO Improbable that
almost any business man of ordinary intel
ligencs would have suspected their inyen-
ton was fraud.

SAYS correspondent in the Nation lin re-
ferring to the theory as to Fridays being a

dly three on Monday four on Tuesday, two on

been great saving to the farmers
in this one item, as those few who
have corn to sell are asking one
dollar per busbd. We learn that

will not have to 60 70 other states

The fishermen who were out on
Dorchcat last week report fine luck.
Tom Harris killed large deer, Sid
Bridgeman a wild setting turkey
hen. The eggs were taken out of
the nest and placed under a chicken
hen belonging to man living near
Dorcheat, and before the crowd
started for home she hatched a fine
brood of young turkeys. The man
gave the old hen and her young to
A. E. Wilder, who brought them
home. This may seem something
like fish story, but he who doubts
it can be convinced by a visit to Mr..
Wilder's garden where the hen and
nine little wild turkeys can be seen.
