TIE Globe Democrat, with res freshing frankness, predicts that the seating of Featherstone Tn the place of Cate is the entering wedge that will finally result inthe triumpk Of the republican party in Arkansas. ThIs assurance is but conhrmstory of the oft-repeated assertions of the demo
 cratic press of the state touching the fiual result of the union labor party movement if persisted in by the many well.meaning democrats who have been led astray by the glitter
 ing generalities and unfuIfilled prom
 ises of it's leaders. As the Globe Dem. ocrat so aptly depicts, the inevitable outcome can but be the triumph of the old gang whose reign Of blood shed and robbery in this state is well remembered by every citizen. No wonder many of the democrats who were cajoied by the wheelers and deceived by the union labor leaders have washed their hands of the whole business and returned to their first love. Let the rest do likewise. The place for every patriot and friend to his race, is in the democrat ic ranks. Give the union labor
 republican com bination wide berth.

The Difference Explained.
of the DEMOCRAT I

Correspondence of the DEMOCRAT
 DOVER, ARK, March 10.-In youl issue of the 9th lnst., Mir. D. C. Cros by, of London, requests me to ex plain the difference between tho Farmers' and Laborsrs' Union of Ar kansas, and the Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union of Arkansas (It should be Farmers Alliance and Cooperative Union of Arkan sas."
 In the first place, they have sepa rate State, county and subordinate organizations. Paul T. Davidson is president of the Farmers Alliance of Arkansas, and John F. H. Russ IS president of the Farmers and Labor er's Unlon of Arkansas. Each or ganization has it's own constitution and by. y.laws.
 If the Farmers and Laborers' Un- ion is non-political, the interests, ob- jects and aims of the two organiza tions are the same. They, with many others, such as the Farmers Union of Mississippi, Farmers Ali ance of Mississippi, Farmers Ali. ance of Texas, and Alliances of many other states too numerous to mention are recognized as branches of the National Farmers Alliance and In dustrial Unlon of America. Nearly all of the Unions and Alliances have consolidated and are working under charter granted them by the gov ernment of the United States.
 The esoteric work emanates from the National Alliance, hence, all the branches have the same form of hi tiation, passwords, etc.
 Now, Mir. Crosby, I think I have explained this matter so that you can understand it, and l can further inform you that there is not an offic- CT in the Farmers Alliance and Go operative Union of Arkansas that is political leader. If the State Ali. ance was to attempt to put out n ticket, that would at once dissolve the organization, and if a subordi. nate or county Alliance was to nom mate ticket, its charter would be taken from 1t.

Inherited Blood PoIson.

How many people there are whose distress from sores, aches, pains and eruptivs tendencies are due to inherit ed blood poison. Bad blood passes from parent to child, and it therefore is the duty of husband and wife to keep their blood pure. This is easily accomplished by timely use of B. B. B. Botanic Blood Balm). Send to Blood Balm Co. Atlanta, for book of most convincing proof.
 James Hill, Atlanta, Ga., writes :"My two sons were afflicted with blood pois- on, which doctors said was hereditary. They both broke ont in sores and erup- tions which B. B. B. promptly control ed and finally cured completely"
 Mrs. 5. NJ. Williams, Sandy, Texas, writes: My three poor afflicted child- ren. who inherited blood poison, have improved rapidly after use of B. B. B. Ii is a Godsend."
