Some months ago Uncle Jerry Rusk
made the discovery that flax was sure to
be the great crop of the future in Amer
lea. All flax needed, and all its related
industries, was protection and plenty of
it. Uncle Jerry wrote long paper
about it, and was even going to run for
the presidency on platform of every
man his own flax, linen and Irvine
raiser. Senators Spooner and Sawyer
agreed to stand by him, and little
Mr.. La Toilette agreed to stand by him.
But for the strenuous opposition of La
Toilette in the ways and means commit
tee biding Irvine would have been put
Oh the free list in the house. La Fol
lette stood out for taxed Irvine until the
other members of the committee yield
ed to him. In the senate Spooner and
Sawyer stood almost alone among West
ern senators in voting for taxed twine.
Ii the farmers of the Northwest are
compelled to go on binding their grain
with taxed Irvine, and are forced to con-
tinue their annual contribution of sew
eral millions to the profits of the Irvine
combination, they should be able to vent
their Indignation in the right direction.

cohHueu. but we Tall TO see why the
element of sociability should be wholly
excluded from reformatory institution
where the design is to educate youthful
criminals up to the proper standard of
manhood. We think it to be in contra
vention of the purposes of reforma-
tory to isolate the cOnvictS and to forbid
them from holding conversation with
each other. In fact, this feature of or
binary prison discipline seems to be
cruelty that cannot be justified even by
the danger which prison managers ap-
prehend of the formation of conspira-
cies between prisoners. The tongue
is the one member of the hu-
man body which has the inner
ent GOd-given right to wag at
will. To impose silence on human
being for a long term Of years is a form
of barbarity that ought not to be coun-
tenanced in this age of Chrietian ciyili-
cation. When the social element in
man is repressed, the opportunities of
making a good man of him are slim.
The correctness of our views on this
subject are in measure recognized by
the management of the st. Cloud insti-
tuition; for they provide as part of
their discipline that the convicts of the
the first grade shall have the privilege
during the dinner hour to engage in
conversation, and this is done as an in
ducement to those of the lower grades
to work upward.
Hon. d. E. MYERS, the superintend-
ent of the st. Cloud reformatory, has,
fortunately, proved to be the right man
in the right place. His fine executive
ability, in addition to his practical
knowledge of affairs. has enabled him
to give thoroughly satisfactory admin
stration during his first years incum-
bency. His services have been ably

ATTEND rtiE PRIMARY.

Thursday, August i4th, isso. is the da, fixed D, the Democratic Executive Committee of St. Francis county for holding the Democratic primary cleo tion. Every person who has heretofore affiliated with the Democratic party, and who will support the nominees. is invited to participate.
 There should be full attendance at the polls. The executive committee adopted the plan of primary espe- cially for the purpose of getting an ex- pression from each and every Demo crat in the county, and a primary is the only manner in which such an ex- pression can be secured. Go into the primary, understanding that the majority will rule, and that you will be governed by their decision. There will be no manner of fraud, and no Democrat need be afraid to participate on this account. If there has been fraud in the past, we can only say, that We have never indorsed 1t, and will never do so. We are satisfied charges of this nature have been greatly exag- gera,ed, and also that there will not be the sligh,es. ground for suspicion in the coming contest. Wehope every town ship will poll its full strength for the very best men who offer for the offices. Nothing except the candidates iemoc- racy, ability, honesty. sohriety and in- tellectuai fitness should enter into your deliberations for choice. We espe- eially urge the people to lay aside all preiudices, if any they have, and make ticket which will be credit to the county and state. There is every pros pect that the Fair Divide" ticket will be elected by very decided majority. The Union Labor party, however, under the dictation of Featherston. Parham, cosicy, Manning. and perhaps a few other sore-heads, will try every means to defeat such ticket and hold the county for Inc Clayton State ticket. It behooves the Democracy. therefore, to work. Let us have \ campaign of education and reason. and see if we can restore good feeling and better times among the people. It is the duty of every man to thus contemplate the future and act accordingly.

 There is a most cordial reciprocal hatred between Speaker Reed and Mir Rogers. of Arkansas. says the Phila- delpl,;a Telegraph, and the sneering. eccentric, semi-jocular attack of the Arkansas member upon the speaker has attracted considerable attention. Mir. Reed put on an exaggerated ex- mession of helpless disgust when, he was compelled to recognize Rogers. which caught the eye of the whole house and east rilicule upon the mem- Der rising to address. the house. but Rogers got his revenge in the most bitterly personal speech that has been made in tie house without getting out. side of parliamentary form of express ion.
 The most interesting features of the episode were thuse that no running report of the proceedings could take note of and which will not appear in the Rec rd. The looks of hatred. dis gust, and contempt flying back and forth between the two men, always under the disguise of mock politeness and Il sneering smile, were more elo- quent and entertaining to the house than even the most vigorous language used in the hours speech. An ex- pressiOn of anger finally drove all other expressions from the speakers round face. and he left the hall. call ing some one else to the chair. Neither of these men can speak of the other in private conversation without saying something very un- complimentary.
 The other day when the speaker said he had recognized the gentlemen from Arkansas. Rogers retorted with bow that he did not know there was any acquaintance between them.

THE STOCK LAW.

Ma. EpiroR We read of candidates and heard them make speeches various sub jects. but the most important question to my mind. is the stock law. We of the south end of the county arc suffering for good stock law. Our cattle. hogs and sheep are rowing to and fro along the dry lanes. almost starving for food and water. Some will object to a law of this kind on behalf of those who rent la nd but think it would bc the best poor man f law in tho world. Under the operations of such law every farm will provide both past. urss and water for Itself. and every man will know where his stock is, and what 1t has to eat. Small farmers with few stock will fence asains; their own stock raise better and more stock with less trouble.
 One hog well kept is worth more at year old than three half-s,arvcd at one year old believe that every man ough, to take care of his own stock. l hope to hear from some of the brother farmers. RUSTIC
 The above sensible conclusions from the pen of farmer, were clipped from the Morrilton Headlight. He is Il man after our own heart on the stock law

IL is charged by our enemy-the
 shame faced Union Laborltes--that in
 ertlorsing the Fair Divide idea, we
 repudiate the course of TIE TINES during the campaign of 1888. Any in- telligent reader of this paper knows this to be untrue. Through the cam
 paign of 1888 we fought the battles of the democrats faithfully, and have no reason to be ashamed of our record
 In the Spring of the present year we
 undertook the task of harmonizing a certain element which had strayed
 from tho Democratic barhyard, and in our jealous agitation of the subject. and the subsequent political maheuyers in this direction it came to pass that
 the republicans accepted terms of peace and prosperity, while those [the Union
 Laboritesl whom we hoped still poses sed at least little principle, and whom we thought perhaps did have theinterest of the county ut heart, refused to enter into any compact. unless it be one of their own making and at tlle same time one which would give them every advantage. Every proposition of TIE TIMES and every proposition of the Democratic party of this county was made in good faith towards the Union Laborites. and the whole course of the paper and the party it represents has been high-toned and honorable, open and above suspicion. The Fair Divide" movement was not made under cover of the darkness of night, neither was it made with closed doors, and in whisper. as was the case of the Fusion" movement in 1888. It
 was not made by mean work upon the prejudices of the people, but upon the loftiest and most honorable basis of future prosperity. We appealed to reason and intelligence, you to preju- dice and ignorance we to patriotism and love of peace and plenty, you to animosities and decrepit imagery wherein 1t was supposed the Demo- cratic party was composed of theives and ballot-box suffers, and that the townspeople were trying to grind the country people down to a seryile servi- tude. All these and many other dis functions mark the difference between the Fair Divide" and the Fusion tickets. And while the outcome of our propositions for compromise have taken turn somewhat unexpected and unthought of by us, yet 1t is the deci- sion of our party, and is, in our estima- tion, the very best thing for our county that could have been done under the circumstances. We feel sorry for the little, lonely crowd of Union Labolites, but at the same time. will do whatever is within our power, in an honorable way, to snow them under so deep that they will never again be able to see the light of day. And we stand solitlly on our record, and repudiate none of il.
