TRANSFORMATIONS.

Rev. J. A. Anderson, an able minister of the Methodist church, was interviewed recently by a Fort Smith Times reporter on the nomina- ! ton of two ministers of that church i by the Union Labor party. When l asked what he thought of the two l preachers accepting the nominations, he replied:
 ''lt i> sure to meet with rcbukc when the conferences meet, l think We can but regard it an outrage upon the part of Southern Metho- dist preacher to attempt to ally the church with any political party, much less mongrel concern like this" When asked if the fact that Gov. Eagle was Baptist would render him unpopular with the Methodist, the reply was:
 It VIII HOl- ClluIC Ci dbtdCHiHCHto are strong. to be sure, as they ought to be, but are people are too broad gauged not to see anything good outside their own communication.
 s'No doubt many of the personal friends of the candidates will vote for them but by the great body of our ministry and membership this will be presented as an attempt to 1 drag the church into an alliance with politics, an alliance of that political 1 sort, too, which is very unsavory with the large majority of our people.
 ''When assembled in our church councils we have uniformly rcfrained from taking any action which would ally the church with any political party. All our members. are left perfectly free to vote as they please.
 "We have in the State of Arkan- sas about 70, 900 members and l sup posed the fact entered into the cal culation when the names of the two preachers were put upon the ticket. '"

ARKANSAS GENIUS.

Editor PICAYuNE Be kind enough to rcpublish the exquisite poem, by Charles $. Blackburn, which you will find enclosed. It is by citizen of our own State--a man of Arkansas antecedcnts. Every country should cherish and encourage those of it's citizens who infuse meritorious blood into it's literary life; because every country depends much upon it's liter ature for recognition as a refined and cultured people. l am glad that the Morning Glory is indebted to an Arkansas hand and brain for new beauty.

Editor PICAYVNE:-I have eX- amned the present Democratic plat form and the platform of 1878, and l find the present platform stronger than that of 1878. The old Green packer always argued that the Dem ocratic party had abandoned the principles set forth in lS1S, and that they had stuck to the principles the Democrats had abandoned. It is now in order for the old Greenbacker who left the Democratic party in 1880 upon the plea of abandonment of principles to examine the U, L.. platform and see if they too have not abandoned the platform of 1878 and gone off after strange gods and lit tie fishes. If principle was the actu- ating motive in leaving the Demo- cratic party, they should cast about and see if they have not made ship wreck upon Republican breakers aad are lost in Republican sea. The question now presented is, will the old Grecnbacker be led into the Republican party by the machina- tions of few party leaders who care nothing about reform, so they get the loaves and fishes. The pivot upon which turn all their political actions is filthy lucre.
 Now, my old Greenback friends, let us reason together. Is not the Democratic party trying to carry in- to effect every reform contained in the platform of 1878, and are not every Representative in Congress doing all they can for the people !: Examine Mir. McRae's silver and Treasury note bill and see if it does not satisfy your utmost scruple, Then if such is the case, why be driven into the Republican party whose record is most absolutely in opposition to every plank contained the platform of 1878! and in every act of legislation they have not failed to make that opposition mani fest. Why work and vote for a party that has heaped oppression upon us: Why not join the Demo- cratic party, and soon the demands made in the platform of 1878 will be reached, and the burdens that are now grievous will be frightened, and the yoke of oppression that has so long hung abont the necks Of the -people will be broken off,

REPUBLICAN PROGRAM.

The passage of the Dependent Pension bill will increase The expen- ditures of the Pension Bureau to between Sl5O ,0O0, ,000 and S200, ,000,- GOO a year. It IS probable that the latter figure will be reached within two years after the passage of the bill. With raw sugar on the free list. the Republicans estimate that the tariff collections under their 're- vision would be S20O, ,000,0UO T year. all of which would have to be applied to the pension account, leaving only the internal revenue and a few minor items of receipts to meet the expenses of government and to provide for e>tnsuishing the nation al debt as it falls due.
 It is clear that this is impossible finance. The only thing the Repub- licans can do in carrying out their policy is to increase the revenue. They found a large surplus. They dissipatcd 1t and they have already reached the point where they must either provide more revenue from taxation or else deal with a deficit. They will not cut down the revenues at all. The passage of such extrav- auant measures as the Department Pension bill indicates their intention with certainty. The demand for pensions comes chiefly from members of the G. A. R. m tho West, but the concessions made to it are forced by the manufacturers of the East, who see in every increase of eNpendi- lures a means of preventing re- duction of "protective' tariff taxa ticn. Cooperation with these intlu- ences is the strong financial interest which desires the perpetuation of the national debt and the national bank ing system.
 The strength of such combina- ton is not to be denied. Only by the hardest fighting can the Demo- cratic party win against it. The enormous increase in expenditures, the pension account, coupled with similar increases on other accounts, is as acceptable to the capltallstic classes of the East as to the G. A. K. veterans, who are the active poll ticians among Western Republicans. The Democratic party has only one course open to ito meet the issue squarely on its principles The great influence exercised by C. A. k. politcians in Indiana has had the effect of convincing the two Demo cratic Senators from that State the Democratic party must concede the eNpediency and justice of the Re- publican policy. That, ot course, IS impossible. If Indiana can be held in no other way, it cannot be held at all. The Democratic party cannot admit that in order to give members of the 6. A. k. an unearned sup

port at public expense the war rate of taxation and the war debt should be continued. The pension tax on labor is growing altogether intolera- ble-the more intolcrable because it has the effect of continuing the war system of taxation for the benefit of the manufacturing and bond-holding capitalists. But it must be con- fesscd that the Republican party shows in its desperate straights a courage and hardihood which may well put such timid Democrats as Senators Voorhees, and TurpIc to the blush.-f St. Louis Republic.
