A shooting affrsy occurred at Madison last Saturday night, between Will and Ed Gurley lbrothersl. and Brown Fixes.
 Will Glrley and Brown Ekes began the difficulty by Ekts striking Gurlcy over tho head with the traditional !" "Arkansaw toothpick,N stunning him tho first blow and continuing to strike him on the head and face. till Gurley was unable to resist any further. As he WAS being severely punished his brother interfered to prevent the fur ther administration of the ps;nishing blows.
 Up to this time Fixes had been hold ing his revolver by the muTxle and dealing blows to his antagonist with the butt. but now that his opponents were two, and too much for him. he quickly changed ends with. and began to discharge his pistol, shooting three times. None of the shots, fired by Ekes. hit their aim. but the weapon WAS pointed vt Ed Gurley and because 1t was so pointed. Ed became alarmed for his life, and drew his own pistol, firing four time at Ekes, each taking effect in different parts of tho body, The latest news we have received is that Fixes 10 likely to recover.

It is generally understood that all our present state officers will be candidates for reelection. We have no very serious objection to any of them. but there is such a thing as getting too much of \ good thing. We do not believe that because the people ot either the state or county elect man to office few terms. that that Is an evidence that he is the only man qualified to hold office nor do we think that II gives any man an excuse for ex- pecting to hold all the offices in the gov ernment. Unless there is change in this line there will be trouble in the Demo cratic camp. Would 1t not be better to pension officers of. after n term or twoe They seem to think they are entitled to 1t. --Ex.
 No, let there be no pension. Let the ballot box show that the principle of rotation is popular and officers will TO- tate. In the language of Barnum the people like to be humbugged, v and if they do not exact respect to their best interests. the average can didate is certain not to put himself out about the matter, and the people will be humbugged. There should bc no favorites except for efficiency and honesty and then not for too long a time in single position.

Hon. Ben. Terrell. lecturer of the National Farmers Alliance and Indus trial Union, according to previous an- nouncement, addressed the citizens of Dallas at the knights of labor hall, on the 9th inst. notwithstanding the audience was unaccountably small. the speech was full measure heaped up and shaken down. The speaker truthfully portrayed tho present condition of the farmers. and reviewed the course of political events which have brought them to their present condition. Though there may be, and are, differ ences of opinion, even among farmers regarding some of the remedial meas urss recommended by the National or ganization and advocated by the national lecturer, he undoubtedly covered the entire ground by urging farmers to study these questions for themselves, until they thoroughly un- derstand them, and then cast their bal lots only for men they believe will truly represent their views.-Farm and Ranche.

The fact Is thesc farm. ere havo cause for complaint and every right thinking man shonid sympathixc with them in their efforts to bring about better state of affairs. Their cause is the cause of tho couu- try. Arkansas Democrat
 The demands of the Alliance are democratic, plausible and in nearly every instance, practical. It only re- mains for this organization to go into the democratic primaries, and there seek relief. The democratic party is their only and sure hope in the South and West. If they be sincere and do not allow themselves to be hoodwinked by scheming, unprincipled politicians their relief Is near at hand.
