TIE unpleasant relations which have existed for some time between President Harrison and James C.. Blaine, growing out of the latters inordinate ambition to be President, eliminated Saturday last in the res ignation of the Secretary's cabinet portfolio and its prompt acceptance by Mr. Harrison Coming just on the eve of the presidential nomina- tion at Minneapolis, the conclusion is irresistible that he cast this ian chor to the windward" hoping there by to capture the coveted prize. Whether he reasoned wisely or un- wisely the events of this week will determine One thing is unquestion- ed and indisutable-Harrison and Blaine are out-an enmity has been engendered beside which the cele- brated feud betwixt Garfield and Conkling dwindles into insignifi- canoe

LESS than year ago Jones of New York jumped the Democratic party because he was not nominated for govarnor of his state. A little later Jones of St. Louis attempted TO turn the party over because he was not allowed to name the Speak CT of the House of Representatives, and now one Dan W. comes to the front as the Arkansas representative of the Jones family and undertakes to tell the democrats of this State what they must do about the selec- tion of a candidate for governor. The antics of the Jones family would be amusing only for the fact that they are supremely disgusting -Au- gusta Vidette.

 c. $. Bell moved to strike out the words 'ssimon- pure' from the rec ommendation. After some discus sion, J. G. Wallace offered a substi- tnte for the whole as follows:
 That all who voted the democrat ic ticket in the last state election and all who would promise to support the nominees be allowed to vote' The substitute was voted down, and the words simon pure were erased from the instructions, then adopted as follows:
 That none be allowed to vote in the primary election except those known to be democrats All known to be such will be allowed to vote without challenge"

the gratifying signs of the times is the deepening of public interest in political questions The average citizen studies more than formerly and is better posted on the problems of government. It pays to trust the people. There is no greater crime than to throttle their will, nor larger blunder than to believe they can be fooled all the time. Some of them may be hoodwinked part of the
 time, and part of them all the time, but all of them all the time, never.

TIE national Nicaragua canal convention which met in St. Louis last week considered one of the greatest commercial undertakings of the century The completion of this canal in the Isthmus of Panama would be a triumph of engineering. The business world demands the building of the canal and sooner or later it will be constructed It will shorten the distance by water be- tween New York and San Francisco 9.400 miles, the distance around Cape Horn being l5,l00 miles. It now takes vessels steaming $50 miles a day forty-six days to go around and reach San Francisco. If the ca nal is built the same voyage may be made in eighteen days. It is esti- mated that the annual cost of ope- rating the canal would be one and one-half million dollars and the gross annual revenue sixteen and one-quarter million dollars. The canal will cost one hundred million dollars, and the investment, it is es- timated, would pay a dividend of fifteen per cent The United States ought to control this great water way, but there is only one way to do il, and that is to complete and own the canal The enormous expense will he barrier for q long time to come.

Springfield, Mo-, DardaneIle, Ho
 Springs and on to the Gulf.

A project is on foot in which it is hoped to interest the Iowa Central, involving the organization of con struction company to build line of road from Centerville, la, to Sabine Pass, Tex, on the gulf of Mexico. The proposed line is to be called the Duluth, Sioux City & Sabine Pass railway. The proposed route is to lead from Centeryille to Sabine Pass, through Dewitt, on the Missouri river, Sedalia, Springfield, Mo, Oar danelle, Hot Springs, Ark, and Al eXandria, La From the last named point to Sabine Pass a branch of the Texas and Pacific will be used. The scheme involves the construction of about 295 miles from Centerville, Iowa to Springfield, Mo, the line, it is stated, having already been sur veyed, located and prepared for con struction.
 The above is from the New York Daily Indicator. The Springfield Daily Democrat reports a conference with eastern capitalists and believes the road an early certainty.

"Where Did He Get His Money

DardaneIle Post: This terrific question is the latest crusher where with a rural contemporary proposes to pulyerize Mir. Fishback. Yes, where did he get his money? 1t is very disagreeable to be compelled to disclose great business secret, but since the crises is upon us and it can't be helped. just come round the corner here. young man, and we'll be perfectly candid with you about that money, and there's good deal of it. He didn't get any of it from the Little Rock Democrat, nor from Dan Reynolds, nor from Met Jones, and you haven't missed any your self, have you, young man? But to explain: What of that money wasn't loanded him by the Darda- nelle Post, the Russellville DEMO GRAF and one or two other newspa- per barons, Fishbaek got from man that had it. Not very complicated after all is it?
