STATE AFFAIRS.

II. We point with pride to the series of splendid achievements of the Democratic party in Arkansas since lS1l: the restoration of the credit of the State from bankruptcy to the highest financial standing ; the enormous decrease of the State debt {; the decrease of the expenditures of the State government and the large consequent decrease in taxation the abolition of a partisan militia and fraudulent registration boards; the splendid railroud system of the State, built without State subsidies and tax eel as other property is taxed; the splendid buildings and appurtenant system of charitable institutions the common school system and the remarkable growth of academies and colleges the vast multiplication Of small farms ard ownership thereof, by their occupants; the great influx of capital into the State; the dOuh- linz of the taxable wealth; the steady increase in population, and the hon. est and fearless execution Of all laws.
 F. Believing that home rule and local government are cardinal principles in a republican govern, ment. we therefore endorse and ap- prove the action of tAo Legislature of Arkansas in enacting laws relega- ting to the people the right of set ting the liquor question for them selves in accordance with the wishes and sentiments of the community affected.

E. We are proud to claim for Democratic administration in Arkan- sas the requirement of railroads and all other corporations to bear their just and proportionate share of tax ation.
 II. We announce our firm and unalterable adherence to the doctrine of free and fair elections, and to this end we favor the enactment of the next General Assembly of an election law securing to the voter q secret ballot and the privilege of casting his vote uninfluenced by party leaders, or the fear of social or political os- tracism-the prerequisite of a free ballot and fair count being free and untrammelled vote.
 b. We denounce the combination by which the price of school books is largely increased above q reasonable cost, and we favor such legi5lalion as will free the people from their grasp and give school books to the the children of the State at a reason able price.
 The platform was unanimously adopted.

All efforts to conceal and suppress the
opposition that is bound to manifest it,
self in the lower part of the district to-
ward Congressman Gest, even in his own
party, have failed, for Capt. Turnbull,
of Monmouth, is out for the republican
nomination and eager for the contest for
IT. The following Monmouth special ap-
peared in today's Chicago Tribune:
Warren county will present Capt. John
NJ. Turnbull. OF Monmouth. as a candi-
date for the republican congressional NOM
inatiOn. For some months he has been
urged by his numerous friends in the dis
trlct to consent to make the race, but
until now he has given them no encour~
agement. He has lived in this county for
fifty-seyen years and is popular among
all classes of citizens. He possesses ex>
cellent political judgment and is especial
ly adapted to manage a prudent and ag-
gressive campaign and push il to sue
cessful conclusion.

KEMMLER'S CASE DECIDED.
The New York Murderer Must Die by
Electricity.

The New York Murderer Must Die by
Electricity.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 24.-The ques-
ton whether state can kill its criminals
by the use of electricity was decided by the
supreme court yesterday, Chief Justice
Fuller delivering the opinion, and it was
an affirmative one. The court goes into
the definition of the term "cruel and I'M
usual punishment as used in the eonsti-
tuition and says it means that death shall
not be inflicted by torture sue as burning,
breaking ON the wheel, ETC., but not
that death itself is cruel and unusual A
change in the form of death is clearly
within the right of a state to make. The
punishment in Kemmler's case might be
unusual, because it was new, but that did
moi make 1t cruel.
As to Privileges and ImInunities.
The court makes distinc Jon between
the privileges and immunities of citizen
which are protected by the constitution
and says that the privileges and immuni-
ties of citizens of the United States as dis
tinguished from the privileges and immu-
mites of the citizens of the states are in
deed protected by it; but those are privi-
leges and immunities arising out Of the
nature and essential character of the ma
tional government, and they do not EN-
brace the privileges and inmunities of
the citizens of the state The enactment
of the electric execution statute was in
itself within the legitimate sphere of tao
Legislative power of the state, and the leg
islature having determined that it does
not infiict cruel and unusual punishment,
and been sustained therein by its courts,
the supreme court does not think it has
committed so gross an error as to justify
it in interfering.

-Onicial News Notes.
WASHINGTON CITY, May "a -During
the debate in the house yesterday on the
river and harbor bill Post made a gallant
nois members, TO induce the house to
adopt an amendment appropriat ing sl25,-
600 for government survey of the Illinois
from Joliet down to the Mississippi. Post
pointed out that similar appropriation
had been made in the last cong ress for q
survey from Lake Michigan to Joliet, and
that the extension of the survey was i'm
portant to the further progress of the
greatest waterway enterprise now In con-
temptation in this country.
A Great scheme Outlined.
He said that without doubt the city of
Chicago would go ahead and construct
canal from the lake to the river capable of
floating large boats, and that the improve
ment of the Illinois below Joliet gave the
government an opportunity to connect
with the Chicago drainage ch lnnel and
make the most magnificent system of in
terror water communication in the world,
He quoted Capt Marshall's last report TO
show that opening up a ship canal from
Chicago TO the Mississippi would give
water route i2,OO0 miles in length, in
Guiding the lakes and the Mississippi and
| its tributaries. or more than equal to one
half the circumference of the globe.
Henderson's Opposition.
A point of order made by Holman was
| overruled, and it looked like it would go
through, when Gen. Henderson, chair
man of the committee, spoke in opposition
| to it, and made the point that an appro-
| priation of so much importance should be
considered by the committee, and it failed
| by only twenty votes. Nandeyer of Cali
| fornia made stirring speech in favor of
| the Illinois route, and pointed out the
| folly of trying to reach the Mississippi by
an artificial channel, which must cross a
| divide 200 feet high, when natural chan
| mel offering steady flow OF water from
the lake to the Mississippi already exists
| He said that but for the jealousy existing be
| tween st. Louis and Chicago, congress
| would long ago have taken hold of this
| great opportunity To open up a waterway
almost n important to the commerce of
the world as the canal at Panama or Suez.
Looked at with suspicion.
In the discussion of the clause appropri-
| ating S5OO,OO0 for the HenneIin canal it
| was made manifest that there is good
deal of suspicion about the Hennepin
scheme, and that while the point of no
| jurisdiction raised against the committee
| Is likely to be overruled, il is not so certain
that the appropriation will b. left in the
| bill. Without doubt the Illinois river i'm
| prOvement in connection with The Chicago
drainage channel is becoming stronger
| than ever in congress, and il the issue
comes between Hennepin and he river, as
| it Will be pretty sure to come some day. it
is more than likely that the river will
| win

A dispatch from the capital to today's

1t is understood that Maj Gen. SchO-
field, in some recent testimony given bee
fore the state appropriation committee in
connection with the fertilization bill,
strongly opposed the proposition to make
Rock Island into an ordnance foundry for
the manufacture of heavy cannon. He
considers the site too far away from the
points where heavy guns are to be
mounted TO make it desirable or econom-
ical for that purpose. He did not object
to the provision for the appointment Of
a board to consider the project but he
was decidedly of the opinion that the ar
sensl is much more valuable to the gov
eminent as an establishment for the man
ufacture of the union army equipments
than it could possibly be as gun factory.
