How Much We Owe.

Bradstreets: A recently issued census bullentin presents statistics of the net indebtedness of the states, the counties and municipalities of the United States in 1890. The to tai indebtedness is over $700, 900, 900. The debts of the states amount to $l32, ,336,689, those of the counties to $I15, PA, 1885, and those of municipal titles to $455, ,373, $40. It will be seen that the debts of the munici palities are nearly four times as large as those of the counties, and nearly three and one half times as large as those of the states. The total local indebtedness IS about 80 per cent. of the national debt, less cash in the Treasury. In the course of tho last decade the states have decreased their debts by $72,163, ,9S5, the coun ties by $8,729,700 and the munici. palities by $45, TIT, 7,O19, or q total of nearly 16 per cent. The local debt has decreased from $16.42 to $11.06. The national debt per capita is $l5. 3S. making total per capita debt in the United States. ational and To- cal, of $26.44.

UNoURsTioNABLY Gov. Hill Of New York has done what nine out of every ten other msn would have done un, der similar circumstances. He was elected governor before his cleo tion as United States senator. His duties in the latter position will not require his active attention until next December, except in case . special session Is called, which is not now probable. Having been elected governor, it was his duty to continue to fill that office until his presence shall be needed at Wash lngton. He has been charged with trying to hold both positions at the same time and drawing both salaries, but it is not true. The officers of the senate do not place the name of any senator upon the pay roll until his credentials have been filed. Hill has never filed these and hence will not draw any pay until he has done so, Nine men out of ten would have held to the s10,000 governorship, with it's immense patronage, rather than to give it up for an $S,000 sen torship with no patronage and no de- mands upon his time for nlns months.

La Grippe Again.

During the epidemic of La Grippe last season Dr. Klng's New Discov. cry for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, proved to be the best remedy. Reports from the many who used it confirms thIs statement. They were not only quickly relieved, but the disease left no bad after results. We ask you to give this remedy a trial and we guarantee that you will be satisfied with results, or the purchase price will be refunded. It has no equal Tn La Grippe, or any Throat, Chest or Lung Trouble. Trial bot ties free at J. W. Wells Drugstore. Large bottles, Soc. and $1.00.

A Public Calamity.

Little Rock Democrat: The action ol the general assembly Tn re
 fusing to make an appropriation to represent the state in the Worlds Columbian Exposition is more than a misfortune. It is 2 public calami- ty. The Democrat is certain that It represents the overwhelming senti
 ment of the people of Arkansas when it declares that this most stupendous mistake of the Legislature must be corrected, as far as possible, and at the earliest moment. To this end we suggest that Gov. Eagle call q state convention to be composed of representatives from every county in the state, selected by the people in mass meetings, in orcer that the state may be properly represented at Chicago in 1893. The Democrat confidently appeals to the press of the state always the friend of every public enterprise, to keep up the fight for this enterprise, which has 90 much of promise to our great state. We appeal to every patriotic and public spirited citizen of Arkansas, without regard to politics, creed, CT condition, to come to the rescue of the state, in It's hour of need. By united effort, by earnest, persistent acton on the part of the press and representative citlzens we can to 8 great extent, break the force of the cruel blow inflicted by the legisla- ture and place our grand old state in proper light before the world.

THr liberal, progressive citizen.

THr liberal, progressive citizens q Pope county will undoubtedly heartily endorse the proposition em 'anating from Little Rock to hold . state convention for raising the means necessary for full and com plsts exhibit at the Worlds far of hhe matchless resources of the State. It is the only way in which there is any hope for the people to have an opportunity to assert their state pride and demonstrats to the world that, despite legislative folly and penuriousnsss, Arkansas is no lag gard n the race for development and material progress. Let the Govern or call the convention, the people Till respond.

Sensible and Timely Advice.

Memphis Commercial: Democrats everywhere must be on their guard as to divisions Tn their ranks by the crestion, making or introduction Of new issues. The republican leaders rely upon something of this sort to defeat the party next year. For thls reason they are pushing the
 question of free silver coinage to the front, and are, in an undcrhand way. encouraging the formation Of g third party in order to withdraw the in
 dustrial element from the support of the democratic party. They are do
 Ing what they can to stir up strife between the democrats and alliance men, and generally are leaving no stone unturned that can help to dis tract and divide the hosts who won the victory of the 4th of November last. Senators Peffer Of Kansas and Kyle Of South Dakota and Represnt atives Simpson and DavIs of Kansas favor the formation of third party, but they are among the isolated few of the alliance men who are of that way of thinking. When the Nation al Alliance Conference meets in Gin cinnati in May it will be seen that majority of the laboring and work ing people, as well as farmers of the country, are in favor of standing by the democratic party as the most re liable channel of reform. The vote at the polls on tho 4th of last Nov ember showed which way the politl cal wind then blew, and it has been blowing steadily In the same dlrec tion eyer since and will continue to blow in It unless some fools get hold of the democrats in Congress and they try to make the sub Treasury or free silver, or both, the national issues, to the ignoring and setting aside of tariff reform, the issue upon which the democrats elected an overwhelming majority to the House in the Fifty second Congress.

IN Texas there is a large sugar .plantation owned by the state and worked by convict labor. The leg islature passed blll authorizing 'ths officers in charge to accept the government bounty of two cents pound on all sugar made, but Gov ernor Hogg vetoed the act because he is opposed to the state of Texas taking aid of that sort from the nat ional government and also denies the right of the government to interfere with any machinery of the state government of Texas.
