PROGRESS.

1t is very important in this age Of
vast material progress that a remedy
be pleasing TO the taste and to the
eye, easily taken, acceptable TO the
stomach and healthy in its nature and
effects. Possessing these qualities,
Syrup of Figs is the one perfect laIa-
tive and most gentle diuretic known.

Lines on the death of little MAGGIE
SHELL.
Dearest Maggie thou hast left us,
Here thy loss We deeply feel;
But tbs God that has bereft us,
lie can all our sorrows heal.
We have laid her in the silent grave
Among the slumbering dead to rest;
We know her happy spirit now
Is numbered with the blest.
We miss her at the hour Of eve,
When gathered around the door
We wait TO hear her coming step,
That step We hear no more.
We miss her ut our daily meals
The vacant chair il near:
And turning round, TO bid her come,
We find she is not here.
We miss her here, but in yon world
or changeless love and grace,
In that bright world Well meet again
Our Maggie face TO face.
We were weeping at her pillow.
For we knew that she must die:
And the home is sad and lonely
Since little Maggie in the grave must lie.
BY HER AUNT, VIOLA GARRISON.

LAST week the REGISTER took
pleasure in publishing letter show
ing Mr.. Hartman not TO be guilty of
certain alleged matters concerning
the cattle business. Mr.. Hartman,
through his friends, was at the same
time given an opportunity to deny
that he voted against removing the
political disabilities of a citizen of JEFF
ferson county that he voted against
a bill for the relief of the miners {;
that he voted against a resolution to
investigate illegal railroad charges /;
that the only resolution he ever in
PRODUCED was one to get ten dollars
worth of postage stamp. There was
no desire, however, to deny these
charges-the proof was too strong
and they stand uncontradicted.

the country as to force it into such violent and revolutionary pro- gramme Is full of significance. It shows how far the people, by the passions which survived the war, have been swept away from the con stitutional safeguards and guarAn. tees created for their protection, and now the very conditions which the people have been led to Iook upon as protection are those Of greatest danger.
 The rise of a moneyed class in control of the machinery of great political organization is matter ol public solicitude, but It is well to separate the politician fromthe patri- ot, and remember that the great body of Republicans are Americans still. They will soon see the error of their ways. Many of them have seen 1t already, and are now swell ing the ranks of the Democratic party.
The Russellville Democrat., 1890-07-24

THERE is an abundance Of talk about the suppressed republican vote in the South, that the republicans in the soutSern states fail to secure the representation in congress to which they are entitled. Yet 1t is an in teresting fact to note that in four teen states containing 5s4,937 demo crats under the gerrymandering sys- tenn of the republican party not a single democrat represents them in congress. In Kansas there arc 105, ,000 democrats but they do not elect single congressman. In Minnesota there are 10S,000 demo crats wholly without representation by democrat at Washington. The same Is true in smaller degree of many other states. It seems that the over virtuous opposition, who howl so loudly about suppression in the south, fail to not the glaring suppression in the other sections ol the country.
The Russellville Democrat., 1890-07-24
What 1t Means.

St. Louis Republic Hon. Chas
 II. Msnsur clearly revealed, in his speech at Plattsburg, the animus oI the Republican conspiracy against free government. The decline ol the Republican party in political power has been marked ever since the second election of GRANT in 1872. The Democratic tidal wave of 1874 wss the reaction from the extreme to which tNe country had run in its support Of Republican candidates and policies.
 The republican party has been & minority party ever since. It is the minority party in many of the States winch 1t considers it's most reliable sources of strength in the electoral college, and in nearly all of these its pluralities gre maintained by the negro vote which strikes down and overrldes intelligent public opinion.
 The leaders of the Republican party have not failed to see, and rightly understand the signs of the time. They reslize that the issue with which they decelved and carri ed the country at the last general election cannot be made to do service again. They have been compelled st this session of Congress to carry out the contracts they made with the plUtocratic interests that furnished the corruption fund of 1888. ln do- ing this they have been forced into violations of their platform pledges SO open and violent that they can neither deny or defend them. Such condition, they understand, can only hasten and accentuate the drift of pabhe opinion away from psrti. san Repubicanlsm As they could DO longer deceive they determined to bully the country.
 The Lodge bill is the method by which Republiosnism proposes to perpetuate itself in power in spite of it's loss of votes among the peo- ple. It is the first step toward re- turn to the conditions which made the electoral fraud oi 1876 possible, and which wlll be relied upon to make possible that of 1892 The conspiracy Is as sure to fail as 1t is sure to be attempted, bat the fact that great sectional and selfish pri vate Interests are go thoroughly in control Of one of the great parties of

troops to Pope county. They made their headquarters at Dover. The militia then moved to Dover, but before they came they sent threats that they would burn the town and kill the citizens. This caused many of them to leave the town, some talk. ing their effects with them, others leaving all to the ravages nf the cut throats.
 About this time A. J, Bayliss, ex- county clerk, man whose character was unimpeachable, and one to whom the people of Pope county were under lasting obligations for the preservation of the county records through the war, not wishing to come in contact with this band of robbers and murderers, made up hls mlnd to go to Memphis, where he had a brother, and stay until there was a change of affairs. It was known that he was going, and the officers of the militia had him arrest ed at Little Rock and brought back to Dover, where he was kept under guard for some time, and had it not been for one of the guards--a negro --betraying the plot, he would have been foully assassinated. The coun. ty officials had arranged with one of the guards to kill Judge Bayliss. The brute was to get fifty dollars in money and Bayliss' gold watch for the job. A negro gave the thing away to an officer of the State troops and by that means 8 good man was saved from being brutally murdered.
 Registration was going on at Do. yer at this tune and the voters were asked to come in and register, and when they went many of them were refused even that. About this time some friends of Pope county prevail ed on the Governor to send board of commissioners up here to investi gate the trouble. The night of their arrival at Dover the militia kept up firing out in the suburbs of town for an hour or two, pretending that they were fighting mob Of citizens. This was all farce and the com missioners soon found it out It would be impossible to tell all the devilish deeds they were guilty of. l will say here that the state troops sent here to protect the county mill. tia, did not molest the citizens, but after they found how matters were, became friends to them.
 This bit of history is given that people unacquainted may know what this great reform party has done for the people of this conntry-this par ty that is bowling for free ballot and a fair count. This has been their cry ever since they were hurled from power. They didn't want q free ballot and fair count when they were in power, and they lie when they say they do now, for they know that will defeat them in the coming election.

Ir has been well sad that if you throw a stone among a lot of dogs the one that howls first is the one hit We have observed with a great deal of satisfaction the evl. dent discontinue of the Vindicator editors and contributors since the unmerciful fiogging administered by Col Fishback to the republican party at this place on the llth inst, Although his remarks were confined chiefly to an examination of the un. savory record of Powell Clayton's party, sworn to by the perpetrators themselves, the blows somehow struck in such close proximity to the fellows who are controlling the Vindicstor that they at once rose up and announced themselves hit. II the mission of the Vindicator is to build up another party at the ex- pense of "the two old parties" and it's editor can afford to deal these old parties terrible blows as we are ask. ed to believe he did out in Jackson township recently, why it is that it goes into conniphon fits whenever the republican party is assalledS There are those suspicious enough to say that they believe there is a power behind the throne in that of. fee more in sympathy with the re. publican than the union labor party.

JUDeE CooDY, of Searcy, said in a political speech at Bald Knob, White county, in lsss, that "when man gets too good to belong to the demo cratic party there are only two places for him to go-one, to the republican party, and the other to hell, and he will finally land in both" This IS the same individual the Vindicator is supporting for associate jusuce Of the supreme court and asking demo crsts to assist m elevsting to that exalted position, He IS fit sssooi- ate for Cunningham, the crank, whose questionable land transaction and other history, has given hum an unenvIable reputation.

 TEE most objectionable feature of the federal election bin, the distin- guishing and essential feature, is that lt substitutes for state and local control the federal judiciary and federal supervisors. It puts deputy marshals, irresponsible to local au- thority, in charge of the polls and gives into their hands the entire erection, including the eanvassing and promuIgation of the returns. The chances Of the bill becoming & law are sun debatable.

IN it's usual puny attempt to be little democracy last weeks Vindi. cator indulged in tirade of decep- tion and misrepresentation In keep ing with the organs of that party. We refer to the editorial in which it is stated that the democratic party is afraid of an open and free discus sion of fpohtical issues, and that Gov. Eagle will not meet the "little gi. ant" etc. The editor in thus deliv. ering himself displays an appalling amount of ignorance or knavery, one or the other, possibly both. Every one at all conversant with public af- fairs knows full we'll that at every one of Mir. Fizer's appointments the democratic party has been ably rep. resented, and at the very time the Vindicator gave utterance to the li- bel above referred to, Gov. Eagle was with the little giant showing up bis littleness to the sdmiring gaze of large enthusiastic audiences. And it affords us pleasure to state that he will remain with him as long as the public business of his office will per. nit He will be with him at hls Russellville superintendent Thurs. day, and we give notice now that if anybody wants to test the falsity Of the assertion that the democrats fear free and full discussion let him be present on that occasion and witness abundant and convincing demonstration of it.

THE republican party will gc bounding down the ages as one of unblushihg cheek, It has had the gall to label the democratic party with the libel of free trade but now that Secretary Blaine favor the adoption of such policy with the South Amenoan States, absolutely and without qualification, 1t subst tutes the more seductive term "reci- procity."
