A THIRD PARTY CALL.

) the voters OF Arkansas Urged to Quit
the Old Parties.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, March 2S.-The
state central committee OF the Peoples
party has designated June 81 as the date
for the state convention. The committee
has issued the following address:
To the People Of arkansas:
On Feb. 22 last at st. Louis, twenty organized
bodies OF producers, representing membership
OF 100000. agreed upon a declaration of prin-
ciples and plan of cooperation in political
matters. This platform demands only simple
justice for the men who produce all the wealth
OF the country, and commends itself to every
fair-minded patriot. In the face OF most unex-
ampled production of all the necessaries
OF life, our condition grows worse
year by year. The past presents a desolate sea
strewn with the wreckaRe of the fortunes of
our people. The future offers nothing better If
we are to trust to our present leadership. Eight
years of Republican party rule bankrupted our
state. Eighteen years Of Democratic party rule
has resulted in the plumber of the state treasury
a convict lease law and an Arkansas force bill
disguised as election law We appeal TO you
as citizens of Arkansas and patriots. Upon
your decision lies the momentous issues Of the
future.

The State Vote Will Not Cut Down

The State Vote Will Not Cut Down
the Majority of New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, La, March 23.-The cleo
ton yesterday passed off very quietly.
New Orleans gives McEnery IL ,262 start in
the race. The Tfmes-D Democrat this morn
ing says editorially: mot only has the
Crescent City declared in favor of the levee
governor. but all that has yet been heard
from the parishes indicates that instead of
New Orleans majority for McEnery being
lessened by the county vote, it will be In
creased by that vote There is thus a prac-
teal certainty that the McEnery ticket has
been elected by majority
which will be at least 5000,
and is more likely to be 10000 or Z. 900. u
The PicdyAne says: "There is no reason
to doubt that in the primary elections yes
terday Gov. McEnery with the ticket for
state officers, which he heads, has been de-
cisively victorious. The McEnery ticket
has carried the city by about the same ma
jority as in the November primaries Of last
year,

COLUMBIA, s. c., March 23.-While pass
ing through South Carolina last Saturday
on his way back to Washington Senator
Hill was interviewed upon general political
topics by the editor Of the Winnsboro Ne,os
Speaking of Speaker Reeds rulings in the
Fifty first congress the senator said that he
had never taken any stock in the demo
cratic criticism of Mr.. Reeds method of
counting a quorum. "In fact" said he,
"Mr. Reed stole that ruling bodily from
me. l ruled the same way against
the republicans when was president
of the New York Senate. had my
reasons entered on the journal and Mr..
Reed took them and made use of them in his
own case.n Senator Hill said that he might
have used this as capital for himself, but he
saw the Democratic party was being bene-
flied by pitching into Speaker Reeds posi-
ton and he didn't say anything about its
having been stolen from him.

MACON. Ca. March 23.-The Central
lease case is all the talk tonight, and no
doubt is entertained that the great fight
will open in earnest tomorrow. All the
parties at interest seem ready for the issue.
The arrivals so far are mainly the attorneys
--Messrs. Rountree, Erwin, jackson and
Tompkins, the Columbus delegation and
Others. None of these gentlemen are
inclined to talk freely, and they are
evidently as much in the dark as
TO the outcome as anxious outsiders, al
though all believe that something decisive
and possibly sensational will occur before
the week is out. The rumors sent out from
New York connecting Dan Speer with the
permanent receivership was a surprise here
and as yet he is net seriously considered.
Judge Pardee arrived Tonight from New
Orleans. He was met at the depot by
Judge Speer who carried him home.

A STARTLING FACT :

That very few persons have perfect eyes It
must be evident that it requires both knowledge
and skill to know what the eyes need and to fit
them properly with glasses. Those who trust
this work to uninstructed dealers are criminally
careless Of the most valuable of all the senses
their sight. In addition to graduating in Ger
many and mythirty years practical experience,
l have taken course and graduated in a
school OF optics in New York and learned the
latest and best methods of ascertaining the differ
ent defects of the eyes and their proper correc-
tion so that can tit you properly with glasses
that will strengthen and improve your ey esight
instead Of rapidly running it. poorly fitted
glasses will always do. No charge for ex-
animation.

paper, The Spirit of the Turf. The
publication is on the HERALD's ex-
change list, and the last copy received,
dated February 25th, contains an &C.
count of her sickness and death, but no
mention is made of the wounds on her
head or suspicion of foul play. Her
husband, the editor, pays a glowing
tribute to her worth and says:
"Mrs. Dunton had been ill for many
months. All that tenderest love could
devise, deepest interest suggest and
most advanced medical science accom-
plish was done to prolong, even for a
brief time, if possible, life 90 pure
and helpful. Tender, appreciative
friends were at her bedside during her
last days, careful tp note every glance
OF her eyes, every motion of her hand,
and to respond with wise and tender
haste. Her husband, to whom for
thirty-nine years she has been a light,
revealins thousand times the hidden
rocks in life's sea, toward which life's
storms seemed driving him. And the
daughter, to whom from childhood she
had been voice calling her upward to
the heights and an arm to point her
always toward everything lovely and of
good report. These, husband and child,
were permitted by kindly providence
to stand by her bedside during her ILL
ness, happy, thrice happy, that they
were able to minister to their dear one
with that sweet tenderness and bealing
that love alone can give; with that wis
dom and insight that love only inn
parts"
From this it would appear that the
theory OF murder has been conceived by
Mr.. Dunton only within the past few
days, and it may be that he, distracted
by grief, may have become mentally un-
balanced and formulated groundless
charge against his son-in-law. At any
rate, the friends of the Scudder family
the world over will hope that DR.. Scud-
der will be'able to clear himself of the
terrible accusation.

He Doesn't Like the British style OF
Public Speaking.
LONDON, March 3.-Minister Lincoln
escorted Secretary OF the Treasury Fos-
ter to the house of commons today,
where they listened to the debate. Mr..
Foster will go to Brighton tomorrow
and start for Paris Saturday. In speak
ing of his visit to the commons, Secre-
tary Foster said, this evening !:
"What struck me most was the drolling
and hesitatiDg way of speaking, in
strong contrast with our direct and
more earnest style. Gladstone ap-
preached the nearest to our American
idea of good speaker" Balfour and
Labouchere also pleased him.
The secretary was asked If he could
say whether Goschen showed signs of
agreeing to an international currency
conference. He said his coming here
had nothing to do with that. The
United States would certainly assent to
a conference on the basis of the declara-
ton made by the English delegates at
the Paris conference.
When asked if he had not reason to
know that Goschen was.waiting for the
Washington government to take the in
itiative, and that he wonld accept Amer
ica's invitation, Foster declined to say
further than that the position OF affairs
would not justify any such statement.
About France and Germany co-operat-
ing, he was equally silent.

Mr.. Gladstone Succeeds In Harrassing

LONDON, March 3-In the commons
this evening Baltour's motion to hold
morning sittings for the remainder of
the session was strongly opposed by
Gladstone who, however, said he would
agree to the motion if it would apply
only until Easter. Balfour accepted
the suggestion, and the motion
was carried. A long debate ensued on
the proposition to vote 100000 for a sur
vey for railway from Mombast to Vic
toria Nyanza. Bryce declared that par
lament was practically asked to take
the first step toward the annex.
alton of that territory, and should
pause before making a fatal descent.
Gladstone demanded to know what
guarantee there was that it would be
bloodless operation. Goschen replied
that treaties had been concluded with
the chiefs all along the route. Glad
stone said A''Show me them. Pro-
longed opposition cheers.l There ought
to be motion for the production of the
papers, 1t is treating the house with
disrespect; the government is assuming
authority which it has disclaimed pre-
viously. The case OF the government is
a perfect blank" The proceedings, he
believed, were without precedent in the
history OF this or any other administra-
tion. The debate adjourned.
