THE FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS.

The 51st session of Congress has
just closed its labors, and the record
it has made of extravaganza, high
taxes, and utter disregard Of the
peoples wishes and interest, will for
ever stamp it as the most infamous
session OF the century. With Re
publican President and Repubh-
can majority in both Houses of Con-
gress, the surplus has disappeared,
the tariff has been advanced until
the people are crying out for relief
from its intolerable burdens, and the
wishes of corporate capital and
monopoly have alone been consulted
while the demand of the people for
free silver coinage, and the conse-
quent reconciliation of silver have
been fragrantly set at naught, and
the geld bugs OF Wall street have
dictated and shaped the financial pol
icy OF the Republican party.
There is only one bright side to
this picture, and that is the heroic
stand made by the unterrifed
Democracy, by defeating the Force
bill suppressing free elections, and
modifying the infamous steam
ship subsidy bill. All honor to
the brave and gallant Democracy for
the defeat of these infamous and OPP
pressive measures. The country
will now breathe frcer and easier and
sobert second thought OF the people
will gradually assert itself in the
complete overthrow of the Republi-
can plutocracy, and the restoration
of the Democracy, the party OF equal
rights, to power. The march of
tariff reform and free coinage will
move on with increasing momentum
until all obstacles are crushed, and
equal rights and privileges are guar
anteed to all.

Have an Eye to Your Eyes.

How few think of the value of
good eyes, till they begin to fail !!
How many have failing eyes and
don't know it, or if they know it,
are ashamed to make it known: OF
those who wear spectacles, how few
have them to fit, or suit their eyes !:
And how few know that an imperfect
tit Injuries the eye? We have for
several years made a specially Of the
eye, its study and treatment, and
for twelve months have made
specially Of testing and fitting fin
glasses by the aid OF the Johnston
Dioptric Eye Meters. We guaran-
tee a fit, and perfect satisfaction, and
when this is done, with good pebbles,
the eve not only ceases to fail, or as
is said, go from YOU" but the
sight generally improves. To all
who wish to know if their glasses fit
their eyes, and to those who have
never worn glasses, and want to
know whether they need or would be
benefited 10y the use of glasses, we
offer q free examination. Specta-
cles of all kinds furnished at reason
able rates. Respectfully,

Senator Davidson bill calling a
constitutional convention, providing
for one delegate from each county,
which has passed the Senate, is now
pending ia the House. AS there are
between 80 and 40 amendments to
the Constitution pending in the body,
and ONLY three can he acted on at
any election by present instrument,
it should be well considered and
passed.

WOODRUFF ARRESTED.

Friday afternoon at 3:l5 o clock,
ex-State Treasurer, W. +. Woodruff,
was arrested on the charge of en-
bezzlement aud failure to pay over to
his successor in Office sos, 5IO.3t
Arrest was ordered by Justice I. W.
Wilson, on an affidavit made by W.
II. Pemberton, prosecuting attorney
of the Sixth Judicial circuit. Wood
ruff was carried before Justice Will
son, and, waving examination, gave
bond for SIS, 900 for his appearance
at the March term Of the Pulaski
Circuit court.
So far as the people at large, and
the Democratic party is concerned,
this takes his case out of their hands.
The courts and competent jurors
will sit In judgment and decide
whether or not he is a criminal.
Now, let's have a letup on Wood
ruff. The State has not lost one
cent by him, and he is to be tried
for abusing public confidence.
Doubtless politicians and soreheads
will continue to agitate this matter,
but the people can afford to turn
them a deaf ear.
A Democratic Legislature and
Democratic officials have performed
their duty, in enforcing the law.

Is Disease a Punishment for Sin?

The following advertisement, published by
prominent Western patent medicine house
would indicate that they regard disease as n
punishment for sin:
"Do you wish to know the quickest way
to cure severe cold? We will tell you.
To cure cold quickly, it must be treated
before the cold has become settled in the
system. This can always be done if you
choose to, rs nature in her kindness to man
gives timely warning and plainly tells you
in natures way, that rs u punishment for
some indiscretion, you are to be afflicted with
q cold unless YOU choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms Of u
cold, in most cases, is dry, loud cough and
sneezng. The cough is soon followed by u
irofusc watery cXpectoration and the sneez-
ing by q profuso watery discharge of the
noso. In several cases there is a thin white
coating on the tongue, What to do? 1t is
only necessary to take Chambcrlain's Cough
Remedy in double doses every hour. That
will greatly lessen the severity of the cold
and in most cases will ctfectually counter
act it and cure what would have been Sc
vero cold within one or two days time.

Nearly all the large type found

Nearly all the large type founders
have entered into a combination or
trust to maintain prices. For the
past eighteen months each foundry
has been run independently, and in
consequence type and printers sup
plies have beengoing at more reason
able prices Rates will likely go up
thirty OF forty per cent. For type
to sell at from 40c to G5c per pound,
when it is 50 easily made, and metal
50 cheap, is outrageous. Publishers
and printers should combine against
the type foundries.

Quested me to write to them regard
ing this country, and as most OF
them are readers of your valuable
paper, seek the use of your columns
to comply with their wishes. l have
bought land between the Leon and
Savannah rivers, 3 miles south Of De
Leon, which is situated on the Texas
and Central railroad, and bids fair
to be thriving little tOwn-has a
population of six hundred, and up to
date has shipped eight thousand
bales OF cotton. Comanche is a
sandy country, similar to parts of
Arkansas, but more productive. Its
growth is principally post oak, and
looks very short for building and
fencing, to one raised in the long,
tall pines of Arkansas. Its lands are
adapted to almost anything farmer
desires to raise; fruits and vegeta-
bles grow fine; watermelons to per-
fection-they were on the market
when | came here on the Goth OF
November; pecans are plentiful in
the river bottoms, are fine for hogs,
and command a fair price when mar
keted. Improved land is worth $40
to SIS per acre; unimprsved SO to
Sc; but installments can be had to
suit the purchaser. Stock Is reason
able. Good schools and good socie-
ty. In short, Comanche is fine
farming country.
