 THE citizens of Russeliyille, Pope county, are calling upon Prof. J. H. Shlnn, now of Little Rock, but for. erly citizen of Russellville, to be come 8 candidate for the office of State Superintendent of Pubic In struction. Prof. ShInn has not said whether he will be candidate or not. The feature that strikes the Democrat most forcibly is the fact that it seems to be case of the of- flee hunting the man. Is it not high time that the people begin to think a little more about this matter of selecting, and not have men always hunting for office, and too frequently "getting there" by the tricks Of what n these days we choose to cal practical politics. It has too long been the case that the sly coon who who could combine the most tricks would get the office.--Bentonville Democrat.

w. s. MORGAN, chairman of the
 union labor party, has issued an ad- dress to the people setting forth the claims of that organization for popu. lar suffrage at the next election. II IS rehash of the Powell Clayton manifesto issued year ago charg- ing the democracy with innumerable sins of omission and commission. It is significant, coming as it does from the union labor leaders, that it con- tains the islanders and misrepressn- tations emansting from the Clayton and Mcclure contingent of the re- publican party. No better proof need be wanted than this to confirm the charge that the willy political schemers behind this movement are the same from whom the people wrested the governmental in 1874, and despite their unhoiy combinations and political dickers have kept them out since. The address indicates that the power behind it believes in "scrops", and if the campaign is to be fought on this line there is abundant material within easy reach out of which the democracy can make it interesting for the uniou labor folks and their allies.

rather than Chicago, the other voting for St. Louis. If 1t Is true as charg- cd that Chicago secured the location through political jugglery and brIb cry, then our representatives did right in refusing to bindby their votes bargain so corruptly made. The people of Arkansas favored St Louis over Chicago, and preferred Chicago to New York, but their zeal for either place does not deter them from dis approving the palpable unfairness by which the location was awarded to the latter place.

too, to the great detriment of all the people. If state convention be called let the delegates be chosen from our best and most practical men-men who from experience know how roads ought to be lad out, repaired and kept in order. Among the many mistakes made by the law makers on this subject is that of exempting citizen from road duty just about the time he attains his greatest knowledge of practical life. For almost every other pur- pose in life we call man in the zenith or prime of life at forty five, yet at that period we call him too old to work the road, and the coun try loses not only his personal serv ices, but the benefit of hls experlence. This may be small evil compared with others. Taxation is thought by some as the fairest and best plan to secure good roads, and not with out some appearance of correctness. To suggest and formulate the best plan taking all things into consider. ation would be the object of the meeting If called. Who will say that there is not possibility of such meeting doing much good. At any rate If the state meeting can not be held, the counties should hold a meeting and formulate their de sires into 2 Elan and submit the same for legislative consideration next January. What county will take the initiative in this movement? Why not Pope?

 In your issue of 18th of February, MT. J. c. Bonds stated that the Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union of Arkansas" aud the "Labor- er's Union" were separate organiza- tions.
 In the next issue, the goth, the 'London Reporter" requested MT. Bonds to explain, through the col umns of the DEMOCRAT. the difference in the two organizations, that there were some here who would like to join something of the kind, but were fearful Of political schemers.

 FROM the almost daily accounts in the newspapers of the rsyages of mad dogs in all parts of the State the conviction is irresistible that many dogs are allowed to run at large endangering the lives of hu man beings and destroying valuable property in the way of stock.
