NatiOnalisn.

North American Review: National
ism insists that the weak worker shall
share equally with the stronger, or to
put It more broadly, that ali men and
women, while required to render such
service as they may be capable of,
shall share alike this total product.
This law results from the tact that
nationalism contemplate society, both
economically and morally, not as an
accidental conglomeration of mutu
ally independent and unconnected
molecules, but in its totality only. 1t
refuses to recognize the individual as
standing alone, or as living or working
to or for himself alone, but insist ;
upon regarding him as IN inseparable
member OF humanity with an allegl-
ance and a duty to his fellows which
he could not, ii he would, east oil, and
with CLAIMS upon his fellows which are
equally obligatory upon them. In "A
word. nationalism holds that every
one is born into the world "A debt or Ia
society for all he can do, "a credit or to
society for all lie needs.

The Pine Blu9 Street Railways.

It is stated that the two street-car lines of Pine Bluff were really sold to the Holmes syndicate, and that the
 James-M Murray Jones syndicate was only their agent. The Holmes syndicate controls the street railways of nearly half the towns in the South. The new
 company, after consolidating the two lines, will make improvements to the amount of $50, GOO on the property, the largest part of which will be changed so as to be run by electric-motor power. The company also has options on most of the desirable lands through which it's lines arc running, and expect that the instantaneous advance in value will
 more than repay it's expense in changing the motor.

So 1t is with peaches strawberries and other small fruits. Arkansas long staple cotton, which captured the pre- mium at New Orleans, would doubtless be as successful again.

Gates furnished him; and he must, at
least twenty-four hours previous to the

place in his county with the necessary
tickets. Sections IS, 19 and 81.
y. No ballots except official shall be
cast or counted in any election where
this act is applicable. An elector may
however, write or paste upon the Off

A. Section 26 of said act as amended
by chapter 494, of the laws Of 1889, CON
tains a provision to enable persons IN
able to mark their own ballots to have
the same marked by an inspector. 1t
is not necessary to require the 1nspec-
tors 10 mark the ballots that the voter
should file an affidavit that he is un-
able to mark it, but it is sufficient if
such voter shall simply state such fact
under oath orally. The phrase, "by
reason of physical disability he is un-
able to mark his ballot" as used in the
amendment to section 30, is Of some
what uncertain meaning; and inspec-
tors are advised to give it a liberal in
depreciation, and to mark and receive
the ballots of any legal voter whenever
such voter shall state under oath that
he is unable to mark it himself.
15 The said act also applies to the
conduct Of judicial.elections, except that
the name of the candidate for judicial
position should be printed on aseparate
ticket and deposited in separate box,

DEATH OF MRS. WILLIAM BELL.

Another old settler passes away to
her final repose. She died in the
asylum at Wlnnebago, Friday afternoon
February 18th aged 80 years.
Her illness commenced over a year
ago in the form Of sciatic rheumatism,
and she gradually grew worse until she
lost her mind She became so violent
that her husband and daughter with
the advice Of physicians sent her to the
asylum at Winnebago, where she con-
tinued worse and finally died. The
sadness of this case is only appreciated
by those who were acquainted with her
suffering and distress.
Mrs Bell was an amiable christian
woman whom everyone respected. A
more devoted mother to her family and
home could not be found. She leaves a
husband, daughter, two sisters and one
brother to mourn her loss.
Mr. Bell and daughter left Saturday
for Winnebago, and accompanied the
remains to Almond, their former home,
where they were 1eposited in their last
resting place by loving hands.

Chicago, I'll.

The Plover correspondent to the
Stevens Point Journal has the following
item: Last Saturday morning, bright
and early, one of Dorsey's best rigs
from your city came down, and not
withstanding the cold, bleak day, four
teen ladies from town here got in the
sleigh and were carefully wrapped with
plenty of robes ond started for Grand
Rapids to enjoy sleigh ride. They ar
rived there all right and took possession
of the Witter House, where they par
took of splendid dinner, and after en-
joying themselves for while in the
Rapids started on their return trip
home, where they arrived about 7
O'Clock all right, but Dorsev's driver the
poor fellow, looked as if he had been
nearly talked to death.

NEARLY CLUBBED To DERTH.

WAUsAU, WIS, Feb. 17.-Sunday
afternoon an unknown party entered
the home of Daniel McInnis, on Sixth
Street, and terribly beat Mrs. McInnis
on the head and shoulders with club.
The perpetrator of the villainous deed
wore mask, and his identity and his
motive are mere conjecture. The only
occupants of the house at the time were
Mrs. McInnis and two small children,
whose cries frightened the villain, who
made his escape. The police are max
ing every effort to discover the man.
