The Kellogg Will Case.

The hearing in the Kellogg contested will
case was resumed before the surrogate in
New York last Thursday. The af1idavts of
r.. =. Jewett, IL. w. HeatOn, Professor
Burgess, j. w. Brock and Mrs. Sarah A.
Ormsbee, taken at Montpelier recently,
were admitted as testimony in the
case. The most noteworthy and satisfac-
tory development of the hearing was the
discovery and presentation in court of let
ter written by Mr. Kellogg in May, 1SSS, in
which it was stated that an unders landing
existed between himself and wife as to the
final disposition Of their property and urging
his wife, should she survive hin, to provide
by will, without delay, for carrying out this
mutual understanding. The letter was en-
closed in sealed envelope and contained
a schedule of Mr.. Kellogg's property He
advised his wife to make Messrs. Cammann
and Man the executors of her will and to
consult them in her business affairs, as he
had great confidence in their integrity and
ems the case of the legatees. Mrs, Kellogg's $
course Immediately subsequent TO the death
of her husband shows that she was providing
in an intelligent and entirely rational and
business-liSe way TO carry out the terms of
a mutually-formed and warmly-cherished
plan for devoting to benevolent pur-
poses the property her husband had be-
queathed her. The contestants put on sew
eral witnesses by whom they undertook to
show that Mrs. Kellogg " sometimes did
strange things and was forgetful" The
legatees called John f.. Hubbard of Mont
pelier, whose answers TO the questions of the
attorneys tended to show that Mrs kellogg
was of disposing mind at the time of max
ing her will No further testimony was
taken on the side of the will, and the hear
ing was adjourned to October %.

THE CENSUS.

The work of taking the eleventh census is over, and the results. by cities, counties and states being an- nounced. Much complaint has, and is still being made, about the inetli- ciency, robbery, perpctrated upon the people. The New York World makes bold to charge that the census returns have been 'doctored'-that "a secret office was fitted in Wash ington at 206 D. Street, N. w., where a gang of trusted clerks were detailed to alter the census returns by scaling down the totals or increas- ing the same, that the growth of Democratic States should not be honestly reported" It makes ten specific charges, with evidence to sustain same, and winds up by say ing Enough evidence exists to dis credit the whole census.
 The Arkansas Gazette charges that the census returns of this State given at little over 1,l25, ,000 is 125 ,0OO short of our actual popula- tion. We know in some parts of this section the census was taken very irregularly and carelessly. Some of the best citizens of Prescott say large number were left out in the count here-amounting to at least 800.
 It was known when Gen. R. G. Porter. an ex-E nglishman, was ap- pointed that he was strong partl- san, and unfit for the very important work. and fact was then openly boasted of by his party at the time, that he would bring down the Demo- cratic representation in Congress. As the Gazette very correctly says; Whether as a result of inetiiciency or design, the fact remains that the census is discredited by the public, It's errors are so numerous and so glaring as to forfeit public confidence in the accuracy of any portion of the work. It is practically worthless as a record of the country's progress during the past decade"

THE FORGE BILL.

From the way the force or election bill is being discussed it seems prob able another strong effort will be made by the Republicans to pass it at the short term of the 5lst Con- gress, to convene in December. In discussing it, in a recent speech, Gov. Boies, of Iowa, used the follow ing strong language:
 II do not hesitate to declare that if the final act in the plot l have tried to unfold is accomplished, if the control of the ballot box in one State of this Union IS taken from the hands of the people and put into the hands of agents selected by parti- san tribunal of any kind, the very vitals of our system of government will be torn by the shock, and from that hour it will dwindle into decay.
 Ut is to no one party that my country appeals for help in this hour of it's danger. The question that we must settle here is above and be- yond party lines. The precedent set us, if followed, would be as dan gerous with one political majority as with another. The cold, naked prac- tical proposition is, shall the ballot box remain in the hands of the peo- ple where our fathers left it, or shall it be taken from them and placed in the hands of partisan agents, selected by tribunals in no way responsible to those for whom such agents act!
 "Who among us would go to the polls and consent to discharge our duties as citizens if they were in charge of strangers in whose selec' ton we had no choice and who ac- knowledged no responsibility to us for their conduct, whatever 1t might be?
 "Who that in the language of the brave Leonard Brown Ca lifelong Republican of Iowa) who would not take down his rifle and fight until he dies before any man or any set of men should take from him the con trol of this safeguard of his liberties :!
 "Who that would be guilty of the gross injustice of forcing upon sis ter State system of political surveil- lance against which he would rise up Tn open rebellion if it was sought to be forced upon his own"
 Senator Edmunds and other stall wart Republicans now say the Force bill must be passed during the short session, and the rules of the Senate will be so changed as to enable its going through, if necessary.
 No Democrat or true lover of his country can afford to stay away from the polls in November. Turn out and vote for McRae.

Falcon Flashes.
lCHABoD GRAIN.

MT. Editor, l noticed an article written by Conrad Grey, of Leake township, stating that Leake town ship wanted to organize an immigra- ton society and get 300 families from the Eastern States to move to Neya- da county, and he says to do away with the oilicious negro.
 l hope all good Democrats will op- pose such a thing to a bitter end, for the following reasons: lst. All farmers who are at the head of fam llIes, that are any account, have homes of their own and will not come. It would be homeless. ip- norant, worthless class of whites, ten times worse than the negro. 2nd. A negro is worth more as tenant, because you can get him to do thing for you that a white man will not do. You can get his wife to do drudgerv that your white tenants wife would not do. 1 knew large river planter to try this plan.

the difference between an honestly administered government such as we had under the Cleveland administra- ton and the consideration of the rights of the minority by Democrat ic Houses. The questionable practi- ces of the Republicans and their many outrageous acts of corruption were clearly shown by MT. McRae to be contrary to free republic.
 As an illustration of the extrava- gance of the recent session of Con- gress, the appropriations exceeded those of the last Democratic Lower House over S162 100000.
 As an illustration of the corrup- tion of the Republican Congress, tl,c millions of acres of land that had been voted the Union Pacific and other railways which they had for feited by failure to comply with the conditions of the donation and which the last Lower House declared for feited, were by this Republican Con- gress confined to the railways.
 AS an illustration of Republican legislation being in favor of the mo- nopolist, trusts and rich against the honest, poor and oppressed, is the virtual demonstration of silver after July 1, 1892, and the passage of a tariff bill that increases everything in twelve of the fourteen schedules and leaving other items in the two schedules unreduced.
 As an illustration of the revolu- tonary tendency of the Republican management was the passage by the Lower House of the infamous Force bill, that if ever enacted into law will cause chaos in the South and deprive the majority of the right to rule It is contemplated to make possible the continuation in power of the party in control by the use of armed force.
 The speech throughout was an able and instructive one and Con- gressman McRae was frequently ap- plauded by the large crowd present. We have only given the outlines of this speech, which cannot possibly do it justice, and all who can must be at Hope on Saturday, November 1st, when they will have an opportu- nity to hear their eloquent and matchess McRae.

Scrofula all His Life.

1 consider my cure by $. $. 5. one of the most wonderful on record. 1 had the worst type of Scrofula from my infancy until I was P years of age. My whole young life was em- bittered and made miserable by the loathsome disease. l not only suf- fered from Scrofula, but was so marked that I was ashamed to asso- ciate with, and was avoided by, my playmates and fellow workmen. 1 tried every known patent medicine, and was first and last attended by more than dozen reputable physi- clans, but in spite of all, the disease continued to grow worse. About four years ago a friend from Pitts burg advised me to take S. $.

Hempstead's Pictorial History of
 Arkansas.

An illustrated History of Arkansas is now being canvassed in various sections of the State, which deserves the splendid sale which we under stand it is having in the hands of agents. The Little Rock Gazette, published at the home of the author, MT. Fay Hampstead Ca name, by the way, honorable in the annals of Arkansas) has this to say concern ing the reliability and exhaustive character of the work:
 Agents are now engaged in talk ing orders for MT. Fay Hempstead's Pictorial History of Arkansas, pub- lished by the N. D. Thompson Pub fishing Company, of St. Louis. This is one of the most important works ever offered to the public of this State. In presenting their work, the publishers say of it.;
 '''Both author and publishers have scrupulously avoided the repre- hensible practice of permitting the insertion of biographies, portraits or other engravings paid for by the parties interested, deeming such methods of publication essentially dishonest and fraud upon the pub lie. All such methods have been avoided absolutely, and hence We present the book to the people of the State with clean hands, and in ac- cordance with legitimate methods. The engravings and the personal mention find place in the volume only because fidelity to history has so demanded. There has been no bias because of personal or local favor. Neither author nor publish CTS have received, or will receive, any compensation for the laborious and expensive enterprise, save that derived from legitimate sales of the book. There is not a line of paid advertisement Tn the whole work, anywhere. Believing that this tidel- ity to historic truth and complete ness, to honest representation and business methods will meet with due appreciation at the hands of the pa triotic citizens of great State. the work is confidently submitted. v
 The work contains l,230 imperial octave pages, with 40 full-page en- cravings and rare and valuable maps, expressly engraved for the work.
 We are glad to know that it is meeting with so rapid sale. It is proposed by tue publishers to com complete the canvass of the State within the next two months, when one great and final delivery will be made to actual subscribers, after which it will not be canvassed or sold, and it will then be impossible to procure it. The publishers assure us that they will publish only the number subscribed for, and will not publish second edition.
 Every citizen of the State should, therefore, avail himself of this one opportunity to provide himself and his family with State history Of such permanent value for reading and reference. It should be in every household.
 To agents it affords q rare oppor- tunity for two months profitable em- ployment. See publishers an nouncement in another column.

Our Able Congressman Opens the
 Campaign.

T Hope Gazette.
 Last Monday Congressman Thos. C. McRae commenced at Washing ton to fill his appointments. The court house was filed with people, and a great many of them colored, who also listened attentively to the true doctrine of Democracy and the clear exposition of Republican cor ruption.
 Congressman McRae thanked the Democrats for again nominating him and promised as faithful per formance of duty in the future as he had attempted in the past. He ex- pressed great satisfaction at the in- creased Democratic majority in Ar kansas and especially in the Second Congressional district.
 We people of the South who have been the special objects of attack by a partisan Republican Congress had found some idea from newspaper re- ports of the unheard of methods re- serted to in Congress to stifle the voice of the minority and override time-honored usuages of legislative bodies, but we were not aware that such extreme measures had been re- sorted to nor that the results of the pernicious legislation passed DOT tends such dire calamities as clearly depicted by Congressman McRac. His arraignment of the Republican party and his severe though courte- ous criticism of Speaker Reed, was used with strong effect in showing

It is almost certain that the cen- sus will show Arkansas entitled to two more Congressman, and as they will have to be elected from the State at large, it is we'll to be looking up good material. Southwest Arkan- sas has a right, by reason of Demo- cratic strength, to name one of them. We have plenty of good talent. Judge l.. A. Byrne, of Texarkana, would make a good Representative, and we suggest him as the right man.
