WE hope the reapportionment com
 mitteo of the Arkansas legislature
 will not make asses of themselves by
 recommending republican district,
 and especially when it is within their
 power to report six safe democratic
 districts. There is no interest in this
 great state requiring a republican con- gressman's influence, or which will
 suffer by the election of six good democrats. We desire fur
 ther to enter most emphatic protest
 against the proposed districting
 which places St. Francis county in the
 republican district, and makes it one of the counties composing the new second. If the white people of St
 Francis county could, or rather would, come together, as in days of yore, with the large number of colored votes that are now cast with the democrats, she would roll up good democratic ma jority. This is possible. To place her in hopelsssly republican district would be as salt and water to the flame of democratic patriotism and energy, not only in the congressional election: but, with Il feeling of defeat constantly staring them in the face, it would be impossible to arouse any con siderable activity among democrats at the stAts election. Is this desirablep Is 1t good politicsp No. On the con- trary, 1t is folly aud fearful political blundss. If the joint committee reports such . bill we sincerely hope C will fail to pass Surely demo- cratic legislatuee was not chosen tosdo V ouch great injustice.

WHEN the news of Cleveland's anti free silver letter swept the country a large number of the leading democrats expressed great regret. Some went so far as to say that the letter put him out of the presidential possibilities. But public sentiment is already soften ing, and when the time comes Cleve- land will be demanded by the masses of the people as the great democratic hero who now, as in the past, has the courage of his convictions. It is to be hoped he will get in line with the party on silver, but if not, this one item against him cannot defeat him.

Secure good health and you will have good looks. Electric Bittsrs is the great altera- tive and tonic that acts directly on these vital organs. Cures pimples, blOtches, boils, and gives good complexion. Sold at c. F. Hinton's drug store. 50 cents q bottle.

fact that the forefathers of that hero are

home, and Prince Edward honors her illus
trlOus sons.
The chain-gang system, under the law
passed by the City Fathers some months
ago. and recently put into effect by his
Honor, Mayor Wicker, works charmingly
