Which is Most Valuable.

am sadly conscious that thousands of mothers
are so over-burdened that the actual demand of
life, from day to day, consume all their time and
strength. But cot two evils choose the less,
and which would you call the less, an unpublished
stove or an untaught boy? Dirty windows or
child whose confidence you have failed to gain?
Cobwebs in the corner, or a son over whose soul q
crust has formed so strong that you despair of
melting it with your hot tears and your fervent
prayers?
have seen woman who was absolutely ignor-
ant Of her chdrens habit of thought, who never
felt that she could spare half hour to read or talk
with them-I have seen this woman spend ten
minutes in ironing sheet (there were six in the
washng); one hour in futing the rufles and ar
ranging the puffs Of her little girls 'sweet white

already bright and clean; forty minutes III FROST
ing and decorating cake for tea, because "com-
pany" was expected.
When that mother-a good, orthodox Christian
shall appear before the Great White Throne to
be judged for "the deeds done in the body" and
to give in her report Of the Masters treasures
placed in her care, there will be questions and an
swers like these:
"Where are the boys and girls 1 gave thee?"
"Lord, was busy in keeping my house clean
and in order, and my children wanderel away"
"Where vert thou while thy sons and thy
daughters were learning lessons Of dishonesty,
malice and impurity?"
'Lord, was polishing furniture and rufding
dresses, and making beautiful rugs"
"What hast thou to show for thy life-work?"
'The tidest house, Lord, and the best starch
ing and ironing in all our neighborhood"
Oh! these children these children The rest
less, eager boys and girls whom we love more than
our own lives? Shall we devote our time and
strength to that which perisheth, while the rich
garden of our child's soul lies neglected with foul
weeds choking out all worthy and beautiful
growths? Shall we exalt the ncidentals of life to
the rank Of purpose, to the shutting out Of that
work whose results reach beyond the stars?
Fleeing, oh! mother are the days of childhood,
and speckess windows, snowy linen, the conscious
ness that everything about the house is faultessy
bright and clean, will be poor comfort in that day
wherein we shall discover that our boys feet have
chosen the path that shall take him out Of the way
to all eternity.

POWELL CLAYTON and his servile followers pretend to favor @ "fret ballot and fair count" but they are opposed to . free and fair dis cussion of the issues before the peo. pie. Thls case in point: Last Thurs. day night after Parson Langley had finished addressing a crowd in front of the courthouse in Pine Bluff, Mai Breckinridge, accompanied by friends arrived upon the scene and asked permission to reply to his opponent Powell Clayton arose and informed the democrats that that was strictly a republican meeting and no demo crat would be allowed to speak. MT Breckinridge and the democrats withdrew and repaired to the bal cony of Hotel Trulock where the democratic champion addressed ar audience of several hundred people Gov. Eagle, Col. Bell and others also spoke. The refusal of Clayton to al low the democrats to speak, and among the number the chief ex ecutivc of the State, from the step, of the courthouse, a pubic building supposed to be open to all parties al all times, is justly characterized a' an outrage and insult to the democ' racy of the State. As uncalled fol aud despicable as 1t was, the occur renee is in keeping and characters tic of the Clayton gang. They base their hopes of success in this cam paignupon duping the negro and te that end democratic theories and doctrines must be avoided at all hazards,

JOHN K. GLENN, one of the most prominent and influential union la bor men of White county stated in a public speech at Judsonis last Sat
 urdsy that the wheelers of that coun- ty are disgusted with Langley's in. timaey with Powell Clayton and pos itively refuse to be led into the re- publican camp by him. Mir. Glenn correctly reads the signs of the times and his timely warning and out spoken denunciation of Langley's purpose will have telling effect up- on the canvass. White county can safely be counted on to repudlate the sx-psrson and ally of MT. Clayton.

Appleton Affairs.

Editor DEMOCRAT: The weather has been 6ne the past few days and farmers are gathering their crops in earnest. l informed you a short time ago that orops were shorter than was expected before gathering oommenc- ed, but it was raining then and cot ton did look badly indeed, but now since the sun has dispelled the clouds and gloom the people are in better spirits and seem to think that the the yeild of cotton will be yeyy good yet, some thinking the crop will average nearly half bale per acre.
 We can't grumble at the yield Of corn. What we lack is more acreage, It can be bought for 50c per bushel, but is scarce.
 We now have three mechanics steadily employed with engagements ahead, viz: Burris, Gray and Kin sillon. They have just completed 8 residence for James Richardson, and are erecting one for J. B. Cawhorn, they will then build one for J. H. Bruton So you see our town is still building, There is much carpenter work to be done here this winter.
 Mir. John F. Montgomery, our eff feient blacksmith and wood work man, is doing an increased amount of work this season; wagon work speciality.
 Mir. c. W. Craig will soon become an equal partner with him in his shop. They will increase their facilities for all kinds of work in wood and iron; and we are glad to state that Mr, Craig Is not gong to Texas.
 Messrs. Austin & Bro, are located here, at least for while. They are all we need in the line of photog raphers.

Editor DEMOCRAT: l hand you an item or two from this beat. And first It IS in order to say our crops are up to and beyond our expecta. tions, and our people are gathering at a rapid rate.

And next you may know that two fortunes were welded into one last week by means Of matrimonial knot between Mir.

THE Little Rock Register, with 8 zeal worthy of more hopeful cause, is still achieving, still pursuing, in the vain endeavor to prove that the report of the attempted assassination of Mir. Breckinrlpge was a campaign lie. Already that journal is stagger- ing under the weight of it's sslf-im- posed task. The reason is plain, the report is true, and no amount of misrepresentation on the part of the Register or it's hirelings can change the stubborn facts in the case.

Watch him and you will see him caucussing long and often with his henchmen, and frequently you will find him absent days at time jeop- ardizing bis official trust, in order that the faithful may be rounded up and prepared to execute the will of the party leaders.

JUSTICE Samuel F. Miller, lately deceased, was & staunch republican, but an extract from one of his most famous decisions reads like a demo- cratic outcry against the Mckinley tariff blll. Read it:
 "To lay with one hand the power of the Government on the property of the citizens, and with the other to bestow it on favored individuals, to aid private enterterprises and build up private fortunes, is none the less s robbery because it is done under the forms of law and is called tax ation."

THERE is abundant evidence oi the fact that large corruption fund has been placed in the hands Of the republican party managers in the second district to be used in defeat. ing Mir. Breckinridge and securing the election of Psrson Langley, Nothing that money and political jugglery can do will be left undone to accomplish this end. It will fail, however, for the democrats are going to flock to the polls in November ss they never flocked before and re- turn Mir.

The Issue in Arkansas,

St Louis Republic: The fight which Powell Clayton is making on Hon. Clifton R. Breckinridge is in every way indecent. He has declar- ed that 'Breckinridge shall not be elected" and has used the most in ccndiary language against him, coupled with insinuations the most causeless, unjust and base, all tend. ing to put MT. Breckinridge in dan ger of personal violence from some partizan too ignorant and brutal to understand the snimus of the attack.
 Clayton has been pretending for two years that there Is 6 republican
 majority in the district, and on the strength of thls pretense he and Mo. Cure have been denounclng the democrats of Arkansas as ballstbox studers and criminals. It would seem that if he believed what he has charged he would gladly embrace the opportunity to put republican candidate in the field against Mr. Breckinridge and so vote the repub. llcan vote on party lines, A repub- lican majority thus demonstrated might do something to support his charge that majority Of the votes cast at the last election which re- turned MT. Brsckin1dge to Congress were republicans. But after making these charges for two years. and ringing every change on them which the ingenuity Of malice can de vise, he has abandoned them pracu cally, by refusing to nominate re- publican at all. Instead of putting up a republican, he has found can didate who is willing to serve his purposes, though denying that be is now or ever has been a republican.
 No matter who such a candidate is, no matter what party name he calls himself by, he represents Clayton. ism. His election would be an en. dorsemrnt of Clayton. of the worst element of the republican party; of the radicals who when they had con. trol before, plundered Arkansas; who in the first session of the Fifty. first Congress, passed the Mckinley bill. imposing higher taxes on every farming State in the Union; who at the second session of the same con gress, intend to psss the Force bill that the era of direct public plunder may be inaugursted as it existed from 1868 to 1876.
 CaA any intelligent citizen in or out Of Arkansas disregard this warn ing, or say that 1t is mere ncampaign talkw Is it not historyf Has not the shameful history been repeating itself in the last two years in such way as to show surely what is to come unless honest and conservative mass their forces and op pose themselves in mass to check the 1 forward sweep of interruptions, au. dacious and reckless radicalism.
 Give Clayton once more the same radical support in Washington that he had when he made Arkansas a pandemonium. and he will do sgsin ! what he did then. Ifthere are those who would deny it, can they show any sign Of improvement in him? Would he use the Force bill any less cruelty than he used the acts of his carpet bag Legislature?
 As one man he is nothing. As the representative of the worst Rad icslism he Is everything the peace. loving: and order-loying people Of Arkansas have to fear. He cannot triumph over them except by thsir fault It is for them to say in this election whether or not he shall once

ONE would think from reading the Little Rock Register that the shops, factories, stores and farms of Jeffer. son county yielded up their thous ands of workmen, lsborers and toll CTS to hear Powell Clsyton's har- sngue st Pine Bluff last Thursday. The fact is not over 400 people were present and they were mostly ne. grOes. Instead of the unbounded enthusiasm the Registers gifted liar refers to, there was scarcely ripple ot excitement during the deliverance Of the speech. It was exceedingly stale and proftless and failed to awaken responsive feeling in the breasts of his dusky hearers.
