 l Sr FRANCIS COUNTY must go demo cratic this year, and will do 80, if d conciliatory canvass is made, by corps of efficient candidates.
 MANY counties arc calling their democratic executive committees to- gether and preparing for the campaign. This is business. It is folly to sleep upon opportunity.

 TifE North American Review paid MT. Blaine and Mir. Gladstone each Sl 200 fer the articles that appear ill the current number, which is at the rate of si2o page. The ordinary writer receives ss, sl0. or sl25o page from this magazine according to tue ] ton There are about 3o0 words tu the page.

 The above is taken from the new paper at Backner, Afkansas. We will bet ginger cake it refers to Prof James ". Stuart, formerly ofa Forrest City paper. If so, the Arkansian Is in able democratic hands.
 TIE Louo,1e Democrat, published at the home ~ Governor Eagle, is author ity for the announcement that the present incumbent will he candidate for reelection next September. There has never been any doubt of this fact. in our mind, and the announcement to this effect from the eNeentive himself. will be in perfect keeping with all his predecessors. The unwrltien law is to give two terms to the efficient officer.
 TIE secret ballot will eiabie the nf- groes to vote for their friends without fear of Intimidation or seclal ostricism. It will do away with tue buying oi votes-beeause the purchaser has no security that what he buys will be de- livered. It will take away many ot the alleged causes of republican cen sure. It will bless Arkansas. The democratsc candidate for the legisla ture should pledge himself to support this measure.
 IN ADVOCATING the compromise con- vention for the purpose of harmonizing the white people of St Francis county, politically. and otherwise, THE lIMEs has m axe to grind" and no fayorites to work for. We simply ask, in the name of peace, harmony and good feel ing, that the white people come to- gether and nominate white mans ticket for white mans country. lfI the white people will quit quarreling, the negroes will fail in line and support them.
 ONE great reason why SD many news papers come to grief is found in the fact that they are not conducted on business principles. They start out by giving to the public hundreds aud thousands of dollars worth of space hundreds and thousands of papers that ought tn be paid for. We do not draw the line between charity and business We are continually paying double tolls in the way of charities, while the sharks and politieiauers continue to work us freely ."-Arkansas Democrat.
