Death Of Mr.. Charlie CLGrE.

Mr.. Charlie Clark died at his home
in the north part Of this county on
Sunday morning April Goth and was
buried at Pine bluff on Monday
April 9th, large concourse of peo>
pie followed his remains to the grave.
He was one Of Warren County's best
and most substantial citizens. His
character was unblemished, he was a
model for the young Of his country,
was liked and respected by all his
friends, who were many in number.
Mr.. Clark was true worker in the
cause of education, and took great
interest in teaching the young. We
fully symyathize with the bereaved
brothers sisters and mother. But we
should not mourn the loss ofone who
has followed the foot prints of Jesus,
one who has passed from this world
of vice, trouble, and trial to one
where sickness, trouble, and sorrow
never come, w. a. M.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, ID. G. May 4, 1891
Secretary Fosters recent alleged free
and frank discussion of the condition
of the Treasury of the United States
is the f0rerunner of some republican
juggling with the figures purporting
to represent the condition of the
Treasury that will probably take
place as soon as Mr.. Harrison returns
to Washington, that is, in the next
statement of the public debt, which
will be made public June |. Mr..
Foster proposes to change the
form of that statement, for the
evident purpose of showing a
fictitious amount of cash avail
able. 1t will not be the first
time by many that the condition of
the Treasury department has been
falsified by official figures. Old timers
recall the Congressional investigation
which brought out the fact that dur
ing one year, 1870, l think, nine of the
Treasury ledgers showed 1922 eras-
ures, and that several entire leaves
were cut out of two ledgers, all caused
by the efforts to make the books ac-
cord with the falsified statements pre-.
pared to mystify the public. l
shouldn't wonder if the House of the
Fifty-second Congress didn't do a
little investigating of Mr.. Fosters
figures.
The Treasury department offers to
send all the small silver that the
banks in any section of the country
will take, free of carriage, which, il
the banks take any considerable
quantity, will be mighty fat thing
for the United States express cOmpa'
ny, of which ex-senator CINE too,
Torn. Plat, of New York, is the con.
trolling spirit. Perhaps Mr.. Foster
did not think of benefitting the New
York republican boss when he hatch
ed up this scheme, and then agar
perhaps he did. This mixing of bus,
mess and politics is a striking trait o
the republican party.
This same thing, mixing business
and politics, has brought about a dis
agreement between Secretaries BLAINE
and Foster. Mr.. Blaine doesn't wan

The withdrawal of Mr.. Davis from
the United States Senate is told in his
own words. Vol, L., PIP. 6S7-699.
"In the action which she then took,
Mississippi certainly had no purpose
to levy war against the United
States, or any Of them. AS her sena.
tor, | endeav0red plainly to state her
position in the remarks addressed to
the Senate in taking leave Of the
body.
"Inexpressibly sad he left the
chamber, with but faint hope, and
that night | heard the often-reiterat-
ed prayer. May God have us in His
holy keeping, and grant that before
it is too late peaceful councils may
prevail"
Volume II. Of the "MEMoIR" cons
tinues the story of Mr.. Davis's career
after his resignation from the Senate
and his return to Mississippi, and in
cludes the momentous period of his
presidential incumbency, the Civil
War, his arrest and Imprisonment, and
closes with his death. This volume
is rich in photographed material,
Mr.. Davis's letters, official documents,
orders connected with the movements
OF the Confederate armies, and other
matter of especial historical value as
coming from Mr.. Davis's own hand.
Mrs. Davis has wisely elaborated this
portion of the Memoir" and has
collected an immense mass of data
from sources hitherto unsupported. 1t
is this volume especially which will
command universal attention and no
doubt occasion much controversy, in
asmuch as many actors in the great
drama on both sides are set in a new
and frequently unfavOrable light. In
this particular Mrs. Davis has felt it
to be her duty to her husbands
memory and to herself rs a historian
to nothing eXtenuate and set down
naught in malice"; and however hot
the controversy this volume may
cause, in the end it can only work for
good as violent thunder-storms clear
the air.
Whatever may be the politics OF
sectional feeling of those who read
these remarkable volumes, there can
be but one opinion as to their histori-
cal value, or as to the impress they
must make upon the literature of the
century. While it cannot be hoped
that the passions and prejudices of the
struggle have wholly vanished, dur
ing the twenty-five years which have
elapsed since the echoes OF the las
cannOn.shOt died away, sufficient cool
Judgment has supervened to admit o
this "Memoir" being received as 6
most important contribution to thu
story of our great and now perma
nently cemented Union.

The Germ Destroyer.

In the field of discovery and inven-
ton, medicine has not kept pace with
surgery. That, perhaps, is natural;
service surgery is the mechanical
branch of medicine. The general ac.
ceptance of the germ theory of dis
ease, however, opens new field for
medicine, and will take it completely
away from the medieval supersti-
tons that still cling to its skirts. And
yet medicine is not without its dis
coveries. 1t has long been known,
and the fact is now recognized wher-
ever the test has been made, that
Swift's Specific Is. S. S. will destroy
the germs of malariaD disease, the
microbes of skin disease, and the ba-
cilli of contagious and other forms OF
blood poisoning, elects them from the
blood, and purifies and builds up the
system. No medical discovery of our
day has achieved such remarkable
success.

The presence of three candidates
for Speaker-Messrs. McMillin of
Tennessee, Bynum of Indiana, and
Springer of Illinois made good
deal of talk around the hotels during

of support from quite number Of

Representative Edmunds, of Vir-
ginia, who is democrat Farmers AL
lance man, was in town long enough
Saturday to commit himself to Crisp
for Speaker.
The oldest freak in the way of a
rumor that has turned up here for
some time was the one that was
Matched out, apparently from no.
where, Saturday afternoon, TO the
effect that Mr.. Harrison had some
where, at sometime, intimated to
somebody that he did not think that
the bench ought to be constructed on
a pronounced political basis, and that
he proposed appointing three or four
democrats when the nine new Unit
ed States Circuit Court judges were
named. That's very rich! When
Mr.. Harrison dominates a democrat
to judgeShip the millennium will
certainly have arrived, and as far as
the strongest glass can see there are
no signs of it yet.
1t is expected that the National AS
ISOLATION of Democratic Clubs, which
its Secretary tells me, is booming,
will shortly establish permanent
headquarters in this city, and it is
hoped that the National committee
will do likewise.
When Secretary Proctor goes into
the Senate | shall not be surprised tC
see two new cabinet officers, as it is
known that Secretary Noble would
gladly lay down his portfolio if he
could get one of the new judgeships,
and that Mr.. Harrison would like to
have better politician at the head
of the Interior department.

pointing out some OF the l0llleS ana

accomplished more good for the

seems to be waking up to the gravity
Of the situation, slowly but surely.
The following extract from its lead

"These Alliance leaders profess not

very existence of farmers--that of the
disOrganization of the pleasant rela~
tiOnship now existing between the
farmer and his laborers and the ultis
mate organization of the labOrers INTO
a protective association against the
farmers themselves. This will come
as the legitimate Outgrowth of the
Alliance, as certainly as the organi-
zatiOn of the knights of Labor fol-
lowed the cooperation of manufac-
tuners and other monopolies, and the
farmer may look forward to the day
not very far into the future, when he
will be confronted by his labor with
a demand for better wages. He may
yet see the long fleecy staple dropping
from the burr to the earth to rot; the
wheat ripe in the fields with no reap
ers the plows idle while the grass is
taking his crops, and the harvests I'M
gathered for want of harvesters, or
yield to the demand of his laborers
for better pay. This is no fancy pic
ture, it will follow as the legitimate
offspring of a most ineXcusable folly"
