From Mil Greek

Correspondence of the DEMOCRAT
 Farmers in this section are hard at work. Corn is about all planted and cotton will next engage their attention.
 Mrs. T. J. Loflin is lying very low at the residence of W J. Sosbee. She has the sympathy of many friends.
 Our fellow. citizen, J. c. Forrest is now full fiedged candidate and squarely in the race for sheriff. Clark township has always come to the front in support of democracy and we expect her candidate to get there thIs time.
 Trade IS still coming to Mill Creek, the people are finding out that they can buy cheap goods at this place.
 The "London Reporter" suggests several names. We do not know that any of them will be Tn the field except Forrest for sheriff. He ought to send his acceptance to the Re porter" at once so that scribe would know be was candidate. MILL CREEK REPORTER.

or thought of, in this Judicial circuit. The Executive Committee could. un- der the same spacious plea. have as well matched up any other unheard of innovation and experimented on the party with 1t. If they have such broad and comprehensive powers as this, the party IS simply without any well established method Of making nominations. and the whir1 of the Executive Committee may furnish us new and different method of designating our party candidates each year. Are we ready to have our rights trenched upon h this way9 We have bossism enough, as it IS. Those who put themselves to the front, come near enough running the party as it is. It Is the inalienable right of the rank and file of the party to determine how they will choose their candidates, and no dictate from the Executive Committee invading this right IS worth the paper 1t is written upon.
 I am not now discussing the rela- tive merits of primary elections Uer- sl1s conventions, although l have no hesitancy in saying that ever have been, and am yet, firm advocate Of the latter; and more especially where the primary plan wipes aut County lines. I have never yet heard one valid, good reason given for substi- tuting the primary election in lieu of the convention.
 Understand me, I do not question the right of the masses of the party to send up delegates to the Judicial convention instructed for primary elections, as tue method of nominat ing judicial officers this year I know they have that right, BUT I SERIOUS IT QUESTION THE WISDOM OF so DO. ING, but until this is done = and it seems to be the EXPRESS WILL OF THE PARTY that nominations shall be made in this way - 1 desire to pro- test against any assumption of an- thority on the part of the Executive Committee to decide this matter for the party.
 In conclusion I want to state my grounds for opposing primary cleo tions - not all of them, but only the leading one, which is, that where there are more than two candidates, it foists upon the party PLURALITY candidate, generally The MAJORITY then s'eat crow' and the minority hold a slove feast" Have we any candidates in this Judicial race who are afraid to go into convention and take the chance of getting a MA JoRlTY nomination? If any, let hlm speak, for his corns have I tread up m R.

Usurping Authority.
Editor DEMOCRAT:

Editor DEMOCRAT:
 The ease with which PRECEDENT passes into CUSTOM is seen and known | in every department of life and bus mess; and the certainty with which CUSTOM fastens itself upon a people as UNwRITTEN LAW, is equally well known and understood. Familiarity with even bad things makes us in different to their noxious and vitlat- ing influence. Some one has formu- lated this into striking truism in | the lines:
 "vice is a monster of such hideous mien, That to be hated, needs only to be seen | Yet seeh too oft-familiar with his face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace." To condone wrong is to plant the seeds for another wrong, and the only way to keep right is to form no alliance or compromise with error. I am surprised, Mir. Editor, to hear the DEMOCRAT endorse the ac- tion of the Executive Committee of this Judicial District in their usurp- ation of authority. l am more than surprised to see a member of the le. gal profession attempt to sustain their action.
 Has it come to the pass, Mir. Edit or, when our best men are ready and willing to adopt any method, no mat ter how unquestionable it may be in point of non conformity with the es tabIshed usages of good party dis cipline - just anything which will enable them to gel their names be- fore the people?
 Understand, Mir. Editor, do not Impugn the MOTIVES of our Executive Committee, but simply desire to put in an emphatlc protest against this usurpation of authority which has never been delegated to them. l take 1t that no one will for moment contend that they have any more au thority to lay down rules or issue edicts to the party than any other same number of men of our party, EXCEPT AS THE POWER HAS BEEN DEL EeATED TO THEM. Now, what author ity HAS been delegated to themf
 l undertake to maintain the posl ton that the only delegated authori- ty they have is:-
 Ist. To call convention.
 2d. To fix the place and tune of the convention, and
 Sd. To fix the basis of represent ation at said convention.
 This exhausts their powers. What ever they attempt to do outside of this is usurpation. The convention after it meets, Is the sole judge of the credentials Of It's members. The convention is the sole power to de- termine upon the method of making nominations. The convention is the sole power to declare q nomination.
 But it is said the Executive Com mlttee, while 1t adopted the primary election plan, might have chosen the convention plan. Itis further stated 1t was question which ad- dressed their discretion say they had no such discretion. Such a thing as a primary election, wiping out all county lines, for Judicial convention has never been heard Of,

IT is currently reported that Isom P. Langley,a blatant demagogue and leading union laborite, wants to run against Mir. Breckinridge in the sec ond district next fall. Perhaps he thinks whether elected or not he can secure the office in the same manner Festherstone got Judge Gates. Un- less he has some agreement of this kind he might as well remainathome, for the people are going to vote for Mir. Breckinridge.

where, in fact, all power is properly lodged. If one should appoint an other his agent to sell and convey his land, and the agent, after negoti- ating the sale, should refer 1t back to the principal to execute the deed, certainly the agent would not be, subject to the charge of an assump- ton of authority. The committee, with full powers to call convention and fix the basis of representation, which means to create an,i provide for method of making nomination, after calling the convention provides that the party by popular vote, with out the intervention of agents, or, so to speak, that the principal should execute for itself. the grant of it's honors. It is admitted by our cor respondent that the committee was invested with authority to fix the bases of representation. Fms is an important admission and involves an admission of all we contend for. The power to fix the basis of repre- sentation is the investiture of power to create and provide for 8 method of making nominations. To have fixed basis of representation would have been to provide for the crea- tion of agents to represent and act for the party in all matters, nomina- tions included. To have fixed 8 basis of representation would have been providing 8 method for nomi- nations. Then if it could provide a method it could exercise the right Of choice between two methods-con- veDtlon and primary elections--both being recognized party methods of making nominations. It clearly had the implied power of referring the nomination of candidates to the pop ular voice of the party, and such power cannot be overcome except by express words of limitation.
 The accusation of innovation is also unfounded. The execution of 
 the order of the committee accom- plishes the same purpose that con- yention would. The same end is reached, the results are the same, except they are reached in a differ ent way, and in the opinion of the committee in fairer and more sat isfactory way. The right of nomina. tion remains where it has always been and belongs-with the party, free and untrammelled by conven- tionalities.
 No one need entertain any fears about the committee experimenting on the party and each year furnish g new method for making nominations, So long as the committee entertain such confidence in the patriotism and intelligence of the masses to act for themselves in matters of such great concern and i'm portance to the whole country, the masses of the party are satisfied.

Public Roads and Bridges.


 The question which confronts a good many counties in Arkansas IS this: Shall we go on at the old dy- ing rate with no roads and bridges to the detriment of every vital in terest, or shall we add little to our burden of taxation and have advanta- ges which nearly all the other States enjoy, Democrat.
 Like the Democrat, the Argus de- sires to place itself on record as fay bring better system of public high. way improvement. No one thing can go further toward enhancing the value of the peoples property and in ducing immigration and capital to develop the waste places than good country roads, and we must have whatever legislation there is possi ble along this line that will bring about better thoroughfares than we now have. Our present road law cannot bring about this result, and if it be not possible under the pres ent constitution to enact q better one, this item alone IS almost sui ficient to demand remodeling of the organic law. The people want a road law that will not only insure better roads and bridges but will al- so place the burden of their cost approximately upon those benefited by them. It is false economy and poor financiering to oppose tax on property that would have the effect of enhancing, in a much greater de- gree, the value of the property taxed. Good roads enhance the value of real estate, and real estate owners ought to bear an equitable prorata of their cost.-BrinkIey Argus.

ROaanee OF a Royal Rib.

For long time one Of the ribs Of
the Princess Elizabeth, second
daughter Of Charles |, has been ex-
hibited In the Isle Of Wight. The
princess and her father were con-
fined In CarisbreOke Castle, and
after the beheading Of Charles tine
daughter did net live more than
about eighteen months.
a short time since a visitor from
Kent saw the rib, and he conimu-
nieated with the home Office Soon
afierWard a stranger entered the old
curiosity shop. The proprietor Is in
his wsg Bit Of a wag, and no little
banter Preceded the announcement
Of the stranger that he was q detec-
tive from London cent down to see
about the rib.
Nothing taken ahack the curiosity
man informed the inquirer how the
rib had been oblaineli-that il had
been purchased fairly and above
board, aud that he intended tosfick
TO It. Making little Roadway, the
detective had to be content with the
caution that it would be better at
any rate to drop the exhibition OF
the rio.
The secretary OF state then tried.
A letter from the home office was
therefore dispatched to the Newport
curiosity man. The latter, how
ever, has told the home secretary
what he had told the detective, and
the rib remains where it has been
for Years-in the hands Of the pur-
chaser and on exhibition to the Curl
ous.-EE.
