A Young Benedict's Luck.

Certainly there is no more propi-
tious time for fortune to knock at a
young mans door, as the Irishman
asserts 1T does once in the life OF
every man, than just after he has ia

this period of mans life is very of.

erect fortune and achieve success.
Among the rare instances OF this
kind of recent occurrence we may
mention the case of Mr.. p. f. Pear
eson, rising young merchant, OF
Harland, Fort Bend county, who
purchased one-twentieth of ticket
No. 1896, which won the second
capital prize of 800, 900 in the draw
ing of The Louisiana State Lottery
on Tuesday, September 10, 1889,
and as consequence is to day $4,000
better of in this worlds goods. Mr..
Pearson is the son of Colonel p. (.
Pearson OF Richmond, one of the
most prominent attorneys of this
section, and is young man highly
esteemed by all his acquaintance.
AS previously limited Mr.. Pearson
has only recently been married, and
his good fortune is therefore doubly
welcome.
He will utilize the amount received
so unexpectedly in building up his
business,

ARTHUR MURRAY, the talented edi.
tor OF the Pine Bluff Press Eagle,
thus correctly and pointedly sizes up
Powell Clayton's latest manifesto,
issued under the guise of an inter
view with the convenient local re
porter of the Little Rock Register:
"The political interviewer of the
Register performed another operation
on Powell Clayton one day last week,
at Eureka Springs, and the result
fills nearly page Of the last issue of
that paper, in which the Republican
boss attempts to justify his infamous
reconstruction regime upon the plea
that he was compelled to inject force
with force" He says the Ku Klux
made it necessary for him to declare
martial law, and names a number OF
murders that he charges were com
mitted by the members of that or
ganizatlon in 1868, when, he says,
the "civil authorities were power
less to enforce the law" But he
fails to state that the many and fla
grant outrages of the reconstruction
lists, of whom he was chief, were re
sponsible for the organization of such
societies as the Ku Klux, who, while
doubtless committing many lawless
acts, were saints compared with the
thieving, numbering hordes of bruta
militia who, under Clayton's orders
were turned loose to prey upon and
outrage abiding and defenseless
men, women and children in the
dark days of 1868"

DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT,
Little Rock Gazette, 9Th,

Little Rock Gazette. 9Th,
The election news this morning Is
certainly very cheering to Demo
or ats. They have secured over
whe lining victories in several in
stances, in others made remarkable
gains.
In New York the Democrats have
held their own as compared with
former elections, but gam consider
ably over the vote received by Mr..
Cleveland last year. The Legisla-
ture is still in doubt.
In Virginia Malone received the
defeat his politics, his methods and
his meanness entitled him to, and
his defeat is not only an oyerwhelm-
ing victory for the Democracy of the
Old Dominion bat for the decency
and responsibility Of her people as
we'll. In 1883 Mr.. Cleveland's plu-
rality over Harrison was ,539. The
Democrats have swollen this to at
least 10000, some estimates reach
ing as high as from 10000 to 10000.
ANYHOW the Democrats have great
cause to rejoice.
In Ohio all the indicat ions point
to the defeat of Foraker by Camp
bell. The Chairman of the Republi-
can Central Committee, claims Fora
kers election by only 1900 majority,
and in that does not conceed Hamil.
ton county to Campbell by 1000,
while the returns show that the ma
jority is even larger. Already the
Republicans are charging the Demo
cratic gains to the whisky influence,
for they begin to feel their defeat
and are casting about for excuses,
rather than admit the victory of the
Democrats. The Chairman OF the
Democratic State Central Committee
estimates the majority for Campbell
at from 5000 to $4,000, and the re-
turns received, bear him out in his
estimate. In 1887 Forakers plural
ity over Powell was 23,3l9, and in
1888 Harrison's plurality was l9, 500
In Hamilton County the Republicans
had last year plurality of 3,S46
The Democrats have overcome thil
and piled up majority of over 5000
for Campbell, making a gain of TO-
900 In that county alone, while the
net gain out In the State, so far al
heard from, is over 5000. This il
the most exhilarating victory of thu
day and like the victory in Virgin
ia, will be stimulating to Democrats
throughout the land.
In the other States the result i.
satisfactory to Democrats; they have
lost nothing, they have gained mucl
and Democracy is stronger to day
than ever.
1t holds Its own against money
! and official patronage. No party or
earth has the immortality of the De
mocracy. Against the most fearful
odds and the most gigantic frauds i
still leads in the United States BY
more than one hundred Thousand
and of the white vote by one million
or more. The brains of the part.
should be put to work to make thes'
maiorlties effective.

Good Advice In a Nutshell.

There are four organs in the human
body which are vital in their functions
and delicate in their structure, and
which give us an immense amount of
trouble. These are the Heart, Stomach,
Kidueys and Liver. If they give US
trouble it is because we neglect or
abuse them, and of course we must
take the consequences. The diseases
of these organs are very numerous and
often dangerous. Luckily we now
have remedy which has proved just
the thing for this class of diseases. 1t
is Pe-ru-na, purely vegetable COM
pound, that strikes right at the root of
the whole trouble. This preparation
was used by DIR. Hartman most success
fully in his general practice for years
before it was placed on the market be-
fore the general public; and it was its
remarkable success in his private prac-
tice that led him TO place it before the
public for the benefit of mankind every
where. As Tonic it is unexcelled,

constant toll. either mental or physical.
AS remedy for Lung Troubles, such
as Consumption. it has accomplished
wonders. It's action on the Kidneys is
