 Ben Harrison has not slept sound ly since Monday. Tue Democrats carried Indianapolis by 200o majority on that day.-Fort Smith Call.
 THE ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT, always neat and uewsy, has been enlarged to seven. column, eight-psge paper, which makes it one of the best even- ing papers in the Southwest. May she ever march triumphantly on in the bright rays of Democracy. Harrisburg News.
 THE ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT points | out that one good effect of the separ- ate coach law is the diffusion of the colored people. This is undoubtedly true, and we hope to see the good work go on until the oolored brother will have majority in Kausas. Fayetteville Democrat.
 Governor Campbell, of Ohio, in ridiculipg McKinley's many illusive tin pIale factories, said that all of them together could not make enough tin to manufacture into tin plate roosters to celebi ate the pext Demo- cratic victory. Correct, Mir. Camp bell; go "hesd. ."-Harrisburg News.
 The campaign of islander against Governor Campbell in Ohio recalls vividly the campaign of slander in Hot Springs last spring. The slan derers were ingloriously routed here, and it looks like the slanderers will be beaten out of their boots in Ohio on November 3.--Hot Springs Graphic.
 Governor Campbell, of Ohio, offers a reward for the man whose wages have beeu raised by the tariff. So far he has not found one. If he will offer reward for the man whose supplies have been cut short by the tariff he will have no trouble in finding one-or more.- Clarks- vile Herald Journal.
 Many farmers give as an excuse for not sowing wheat this fall the scarcity of flouriDg mills. Where there is a demand there will be supply. If the farmers make the wheat the mills will come. A good crop of wheat harvested here next year would place the county in a fine condition. 1t is hoped that very few will neglect this important IT mat. ter. Sow lots of wheat.-Conway Log Cabin.
 The case of the State vs. Wm. E. Woodruff has been set down for trial next Monday. It will be 8 long, tedious Investigation. We hope that Maj. Woodruff will be able to ex. onorate himself from criminality, and we should express the same hope, if, instead of being an entire stranger, he was our most bitter enemy, for it always gives US pain to know that any man has betrayed the confidence placed in him by his fellow msn.-Argenta Times.
 In his charge to the grand jury of Conway county, in the matter of the ten-mile prohibition law, Judge Wallace instructed them that they must indict for the violations of the law.-ARKANsAs DEMOCRAT. Is that so? Well, come to think about it, what is Judge Wallace there for anyway Or, rather, what is the grand jury there for? Don't they know that it is their sworn duty to indict for all violations of the law, or do they have to wait to be instructed? What are courts for? If the selling of whis- key in certain communities be vio- lstion of the law, 1t is just as much the duty of the grand jury to find in- dictments in such cases as it is their duty to ind'ct for murder or arson or any other crime. If there are laws that can not be enforced, it were far better to repeal them than to suffer them to remain upon the statute books, standing reproach upon our claims as lsw-abidipg people Washington County Review.
