THE Mckinley tariff bill recently introduced into congress, will, it is claimed by it's republican advocates, reduce the tariff $60,000,000. The people will not be, deceived, however by this glitt, < promise. In the first place $20,0O0,0 900 of the alleged reduction is not 8 tariff reduction, but a reduction of the internal reve- hue, direct tax on spirits and to- bacco. Another reduction of about equal proposition is cut of 90 per cent. on the sugar tariff. The ani mus of the republican programme in this case is plain, they being in favor of sweeping reduction ta ougsr be- cause it is southern industry. On nearly every northern interest, in many of which those engaged there in are as greatly benefited as tue southern sugar planters by the tariff, the duties are either untouched or increased by the Mckinley bill. If one of the principles of the American system of government is equal rights to all Mckinley should not discriml- nate against souther industries and in favor of northern interests. But this is the republican idea of states manship.

 Everything is quiet here, except that farmers are complaining of too much rain, and the wind blows rath. CT hard.
 Rev. T. J. Webb, who has lately located among us, breaches here once a month. He is liked by all, both as a minister and citizen.
 The late cold spell has done our community considerable damage. Wheat looks bad from it's effects, and some will have to SOW oats over. The fruit crop is also greatly injur ed.
 MT. G. W. Craig has the honor of having planted the first corn in this vicinity; but we notice that he IS likely to have to attend court as a juror, and this will probably throw hlm back with his work.
 A. L. Rankin and family, formerly of thIs place, but now in Texas, write that the country Tn Eastland county is very fine, and they think, superior to ours. However, we look for them to pay Arkansas an extended visit ere long.
 Mir. James Canerday, our mail carrier, is stirring up the road over seers from this place to Atkins. Some of the roads on this line have been in bad repair for the past few months, but we hope they will have them passable before court.
 We are sorry to learn that Mir. J. B. Cawhorn, of this place, has de cllDed running for the office of as sessor. He would have made the race fair, and if elected, filled the of- flee with credit. However, the can didstes are many, ana he is not one of those who wish to make the race for the mere fun there is in it.
 I will close by breaking the news to the many friends Of J. w. Stokes that he is now & married man, and was made so last Wednesday eve. ming. He was united to Miss Ida Burnett. She is an estlmable lady, who will render Mir. Stokes much as. sistance in fighting the battles of life. H.

 George Slocum left for Little Rock this week, on visit. He will return in a few days.
 Some sickness on the mountain. La grippe having suspended opera tions, chills and levers seem to be holding sway.
 The Mountain Springs school closed last Friday evening with q school exhibition. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, a large audience witnessed the closing exercises of the school. A lengthy programme was prepared and carried out almost completely--a few pupils being compelled to remain at home on account of the rain, causing q portion to be omitted. It is but just ice to say that the pupils acquitted themselves with much credit, both to themselves and their teacher. All did so well, in fact, that comparisons would be odious. Among the more important selections were the recita tions :-"Arkansaw," 1.-The Curfew," "A Hundred Years to Come" Dis coveries," etc. The tableaux were humorous in the extreme, and fairly brought down the house. Uncle Ned's Defense" "BIuebeard," Mrs. Smarts Skating" and "The Rival Or ators" were all excellently rendered. All the other recitations, declama tions, dialogues, essays and compo- sitions were well rendered, and spoke well for the school. The exercises were interspersed with appropriate selections of vocal music by the school. At the close of the exercis- es, Mir. Meade delivered an excellent farewell address to the pupils and patrons of the school, after which all went home well pleased with the evenlng's entertainment.

THE MorrIlton Headlight sees no good reason for dividing the clerk [ office and thinks one clerk enough for all practical purposes. The Headhgh tmay be right in argument, but the law stands in the way. A provision of the constitution allows two clerks when county has 15000 inhabitants. If the democrats don't offer for the offices separately some other party will. Better save liti- gation, trouble and expense by profiting by the experience of White and other counties.
