A New Miodemeanor.

There is food for seme reflection in what Farmer Rusk, our secretary ot agriculture, las to say about the diSci- pline tlat ought tO he administered tu Massachusetts for the crime of electine a democratic governor. This is the way he is quoted in the New York Tribune. which cau not be suspected of desiring to misreprescnt republican cabinet officer:
 Secretary Rusk declares that the elections went as he eXpec.ed. aud he was not at ali surprised. lhe orlt comment he had tG make was that le would be iu favoruf restoring taa tariff on hides. as the Massachusetts siIle manufacturers. for whose benefit liiGes were put on the free list. had voted with the democrats. Fe believed 1t d good idea to make them pay more for their hides. o
 We waive the confession made here that hides were put on the free list out of no regard fer the American people in general, but solely for the benefit oi shoe manufacturers. We waive also the admission that 8 tax on hides would raise the price of them. instead Of re- dueiHc it, as the republicans contend. except in certain moments of forget fulnesS when for one reason or anut her they throw of the mask. The point to which we desire to direct attention is that Gen. Eusk thinks that voting the democratic ticket is a mis1eiueanar, for which the people guilty of it should be pnuished by fine. They ought to be grateful that he did not recomm end imprisonment also.
 To this favor thes it has come. The Republican party is not content to legisiate for the purpose of taking money from the pockets of an inii- yidual who has worked for it and be- slowing it upon another who has net earned it. IL also insists that the tax ing power of the government shall be used for the purpose of punisIing these Nlio so far forget them selves as to be guilty Of voting the democratic ticket.
 This utterance, be it remembered comes from the cabinet of reform administration. It comes from an hon Ored member of party that has shed barrels of crocodile tears over alleged offenses against a free ballot. That party, through one of it's leaders, an aspirant for the presidency, now am nOunces to the country that voting the democratic ticket is a misdemeanor and should be punished by the for feiture of a part of the offender s goods.

And the time was lost--fearfully woe fully and shamefully lost. For in that good hour and time, the sophisticated Featherston pretended to represent us and utterly failed.

THE WOODRUFF CASE.

At noon on Friday last .1nlge Lea had the Jury in tbe Woodruff case called before Jim and asked them if they had reached a verdict The fore man informed the court tiat there was no possibility of the jury ever agreeing upon verdict. The jurors were then questioned separately and each replied in the same tenor as the foreman. The jury stood six for ac- quittal and six for conviction. Those favoring the acquittal of the culprit admitted that the law and the eYi- dence in the case had no influence in determining the position they as- Sumed, but their verdict had been prompted solely by sympathy for the accused. This travesty upon justice was confidently expected by the eouu- sel for the defense, and they made it possible by playing Woodruff's war record" for all it was worth. The lawyers for the prosecution and the presiding judge did their whole duty in the premises. The case for the state was presented in masterly manner and Judge Lea's charge to the jury was one of the ablest and most lucid that ever emanated from the bench of Arkansas. The fault lies entirely with part of the jury Ignoring the plain and incontroyert- ible testimony of Woodrutf's guilt ! they, in some unknown manner, recon. eiled it to their consciences to defeat tue ends of justice by rendering a just verdict impossible. Six Of the jurors placed duty above sympathy" stood firmly upon the law and the evidence and for this deserve the commenda tion of every honest man.
 The failure to convict Woodruff is | blot on the fair name of Arkansas That he was guilty there is no room for doubt. The evidence was as plair and direct as evidence could be, ant the result of the trial goes to show that dishonesty in high places, backed by money and powerful friends, is ex empt from punishment. The picture IS not pleasant one to contemplate This maudin sympathy for big crim inals is doing more harm to tht country than any other one thing and as long as it exists in it's presen ratio 1t oilers premium upon rascal l fly.
 l. is not probable the case will eve again be called for trial. Woodruff will in all likelihood hereafter wall the earth free man, but justice is no altogether defeated, in that he mus hereafter live under the shadow of cloud of dishonesty which nothing cali dispel.

The Commercials Friend.


 In the Pine Bluff Commercial of Thursday Maj. Newman permits "a friend''-" a friend who is acquainted with the whole matter"-to vilify a large portion of the press of the state as ring papers that have had the floor against Woodruff for years''- papers that have given him mo medi- um of answering except through the voluntary action of that part of the press that is unbridled," etc. Then this "friend" assaults Gov ernor Eagle and Treasurer Morrow in this fierce way:
 The action of Governor Eagle has been to sustain Morrow. and the action of both has been damned sight more political than purgative or protective.
 This is as false and malicious as the attack on the press. From the discovery of the Woodruff shortage to this good hour neither Governor Eagle nor Treasurer Morrow have done anything to warrant the base insinuation contained in the above. They have both acted for the protec- tion of the tax payers of Arkansas. and as honest and as faithful public servants they have merited and will receive the thanks of the people irrespective of party. Politics, in- deed, When man is to be accused of political intrigue because he stands for the right; for honesty against thieyery; for the tax payers against their despoilers, then. indeed, we have fallen on evil times All honor to James r. Eagle and E. E. Mor- row for the stand they have taken in the Woodruff investigation

Slgn of a Hard Winter,

"1his is going to be a very hard win ter" said aa cid resident of the Lack aWara yoiley yesterday, and I'll tell you thc reason why say so. In the frs pi&ce, look at the hornets bvats. Nou N il .iud them high no this iali. That's sure sig of a hard winter. J it was going to be a mild ~iHier yon would find them near the ground Two and three years ago the winters were mild, and the hornets nests were low down.
 Then take angle worms for an- other sign. Dig in the ground now and you will find them crawling two feet or more below the surface. They know what kind of weather is com ing, and they go down to avoid the frost. Two years ago l found them not three inches under the surface, and they stayed there all winter.
 "Fuzz on hogs is another sure sign of q severe winter. Butcher a hog now and you will find a thick fuzZ at the roots of the bristle. The fuzzs wouldn't be there if next winter wasn't going to be a tough one. Two and three years ago this fall there wasn't any fuzZ at all on hogs, and you know how open the winter was. Il predicted a hard winter in 1885 from these signs, and my neighbors ridiculed me, or tried to, but we got it just as l said. l had so much faith in the signs that l got a lot of boys to trap all the quails for me that they could. l wintered over two hundred quails, and in the spring of 1886 there wasn't live quail in the Lackawanna valley, except the ones
 I had. l turned them all loose at various points, and in the fall we had some good shooting. which we | wouldn't have had if l hadn't paid
 attention to the signs. "- New York 1 Sun.

Stryoanino an Antidote for Snak
 Poison.

. lf gSa4filiiS an AiltiAOSS LOT OlaN C
 Poison.
 X curious instance of one poison killing another Is rep0lted from Tack- andunGaii, Victoria, where DT. Mueller has recently administered strychniGe in cases If snake bite. A solution of nitrate of strychuinr in 2i0 parts If water, mixed with lttle glyotrine is prepared, and twenty niiEims injected hypodermicaliy at intervals of len to twenty minutes. according to the viru lence of the attack In sOaa cases Il grain Of stryUlliue has bVe1 gwen thus within few homs. ll.c two p0isons are autagonjs,ic, and the characteristic effects of the strychAihe only show themselves after the venom has been neatraliZ;d
 The independent action of the drug is eyinced by slight muscular spasms, and the injections must be discon- tinued, unless after time the snake poison reasserts itself. So long as the latter is active the strychnine can be applied in quantities which would be fatal in the absence of the virus. Out of the 100 patients treated this way, some of whom werg at the point of death, there was only one failure, and that arose from the stoppaee of the in- jectiOns after one and a quarter grains of strychnine were administered. Any part of the body will serve for the in- jection, but Dr. Mueller chooses part near the snake bite.
