Satur,lay-BusIness Transacted.
 There was meeting of the Third party cohorts in this city last Saturday, the 18th inst, and they turned out in very fair numbers, everything consd- cred
 3o'clock the convention was called to order by Capt. J. F. Mcdonald, chairman of the county executive con- mittee, who explained the object of the meeting to be the selection of five dele gates to attend the state convention to meet at Little Rock on the 2lst inst. J. F. Mcdonald was made perma- nent chairman and J. B. Wilson per manent secretary. On motion committee of three, comprised of William Manning, Creed Moore and l.. r. Featherston, was ap- pointed on credentials. l. GlasbY Was afterward added to the committee
 E. Bonner suggested that one or two townships had failed to elect delegates to the county convention. but there were gentlemen present who would represent the townships, and he urged they be admitted as delegates. The chair favored the suggestion and so in- structed the committee. Pending the report of the committee on credentials E. Bonner was called upon for a speech, in the course of which he excoriated the old parties, being especially severe upon the democracy, which he charged with being responsible for all the ills known and unknown in ancient and modern sacred and profane history, even hold ing them responsible for the late over flow and it's disastrous results. MT. fa ha hill Hannnah the Arkansas election law, skipped the question of highway robbery contem- plated by the plank in the St. Louis platform which would tax the people about S2 GOO 600 900 to pay union sol diers the difference between gold and the depreciated greenbacks they re- ceived for service in the war, and, al- together, depicted in seductive phrases the wondrous happiness and prosperity which would dawn upon the country with the accession to power of the Peo- ple's party.
 The committee on credentials re- turned and reported the following dele gations from the several townships:
 wheatley-J. w Posey, wm Manning. Goodwin-R. J. Mitchell, Henry Honsby Prairie-J. J. Woods, A. Sulcer. L'Anguille-J. II. Devasier: pr, A. II Gray;

 EDUC ATIoNAL F. Popular education being the only safe hasis of popular suffrage, we re- commend Co the several states most i liheral apnrepriatiups for the public seL,nIs. Free common schools are the nursery of good government, and they have always received the fostering care of the Democratic party, which ] favors every means of increasing ln- telligence. Freedom of education be- i ing an essential of civil and religious I liberty as we'll as necessity for the deyelopmeut of intelligence, must not . be intsrtered with under any pretext i whatever. We are opposed to state ln- | tprfereuce with parental right and rights of conscience in the education or children IS an infringement of the i fundamental democratic doctrine that | the largest individual liberty consistent with the rights of others insures the i highest type of American citizenship and the best government.
 NEW MEXICO AND ARIZONA. l lS We approve the action Of the ] UlESfHA iAOuSt Ol sf passing bills for the admission into the union as states. of the tegTitorifs of 1 New Mexico and Arizona, and favor i the early admission of all the territo- ries having the necessary population sufficient to entitle them to statehood, and while they remain territories, We hold that the officials appointed by the
 government for any territory, together
 with the District of Columbia and | Alaska, should be bonatide residents of
 the territory or district in which their duties are to be performed. The Dem
 ocratic party believes in home rule. and the e0i!troi of their own affairs by 1 the people of the vicinage.
 1 RAILROAD EMPLOYES. l9. We favor legislation by congress
 and state legislation tO protect the lives and limbs of railroad employees and 1 those of other hazardous transporta- tion companies. and denounce the in-
 activity of the Republican party and l particularly the republican senate. for
 causing the defeat of measure bene-
 ficial and protective to this class of
 wage workers.
 CONTRACT LABOR. 20. We are in favor of the enact
 ment by the states of laws for abolish | ing the notorious sweating system, | for abolishing contrrct convict labor
 and for prohibiting the employment in
 factories of children under l5 years of
 age
 SUMPTUARY LAWS. 2l. We are opposed to all snmptuary
 laws and interference with individual rights of the citizen.
 | WHAT THE PARTY ASKS. 9. Upon this statement of principles and policies, the Democratic party asks
 the intelligent judgement of the Ameri-
 can people. It asks change of ad-
 ministration and a change of party, in
 order that there may be change of system and change of methods, thus
 assuring the maintenance unimpared
 of institutions under which the republic
 has grown great and powerful.

PALEsTINE. ARk.. June

PALESTINE, ARK, June 20, 1899. To the Editor of tho Forrest City Times:
 Allow big-hearted man small space m your paper for the benefit of the people especially in the town Of Palestine. The male sex q alude to1 make a practice of speaking too freely in regard to the char acter and virtue of women. There is a great deal oi talk that has no foundation in plain words, il Is false. This way of speaking should be avoided. think men should respect their fellows more than they do. IL is bad enough to make re- marks after there are grounds upon which to base them. l hope this will prove a benefit to every man in the county, eaus- ing each t0 bring the matter close to home and see how it sounds. Respectfully,
 SPENCER.

 THE ticket as formulated by the Third party convention in Little Rock "Wednesday is published elsewhere in this issue. Carnahaii, who heads the ticket, is good man. personally, who has deserted the democracy because of his failure to be elected to office. He is not in the Third party because he believes in or endorses it's visionary schemes, but simply because it opposes democracy. The fine Italian hand of the republicans is apparent in his nomi- nation, and the ticket will be endorsed by the leaders of the Republican party who will again use tue " Peoples ; party advocates as deeoy ducks. The ticket, as whole. is weak.

The nomination of Cleveland by the Chicago convention carly Thursday morning on the first ballot was dis tinc:ion yoachsafed ta no other man in the past political history of the United States He had served one term as president, failed of election in the next contest, and now is nominated the third time. His nomination came on the first ballot, and was a freewill of fering ot his party, whose principles gre embodied if him. For months his nomination has appeared inevitable, notwithstanding the opposition offered in his oWB state. Cleveland holds the hearts of the great masses of the Demo- cratic party as. perhaps, no man ever did hefore, and his name will prove a tower of strength to the cause of tariff reform.

To the Editor of the Forrest City Times:
 As the time approaches for the opening of the canvass for county officers, it be- comes a serious question as to who will be the most available persons to name for the different offices that must be filled by an election this fall. In settling thIs ques- ton, the public interest alone should be in view. The people of this township be- lieve that in the present condition of af- fairs in this county none but the best eiti- zens should be put forward-thoSe whose department and bearing in all the relations of life commend them to public confidence.
 Adopting the party maxium that a pub. lie office is public trust, and casting about the political ieid for such men as in our judgment will emphasize that prin- ciple, many of us In this lFranks) town ship suggest to the public the following ticket. We believe that the Democratic party, with such men as its nominees, will receive the support of all who want efiei-

THERE is little room to doubt that
Congress has made a big mistake at
the very outset in refusing an appro'
priation sufficient to carry to famine
stricken Russia the gifts of -four which
our great Northwest is so literally
contributing for the relief of the
starving. We believe that if the
question had been left to the voters OF
the country, the majority in favor OF
supplying the transportation would
have been very decisive. Our people
are charitable, and the comparative
small sum asked for would have been
readily supplied Aside from any
considerations of justice or equity, it
would have been given in the cause OF
humanity. But as a matter of fact
the assistance should be rendered in
payment of debt we owe that couu'
try. We should not forget her inval'
liable service to US in the war of the
Rebellion, when the presence OF q
Russian fleet in our water with orders
to aid the United States Government
If attacked by England's or any othel
European feet held the friends of The

HORRIBLE MINE DISASTER.

A most appalling calamity occurred
near McAllister, Indian Territory, on
Thursday night of last week. There
was an explosion in a mine and as a
result over 200 men now lie dead and
about forty are fatally hurt and as
many more badly burned. At 5:1O
p. m. mine No. II, owned by the Usage
Coal and Mining Co., at Krebs, four
ard half miles east of McAllister,
exploded. At the time $50 men we're
in the shaft waiting for the cage to
take them out and the foot of the
shaft is one mass Of dead bodies.
Eighty five men came out by an old
entry and forty.two we're saved by the
shaft, most of whom are more or less
burned aud bruised, and will probably
die.
A dispatch under date of the 9th
states that up to 2 o'clock forty eight
dead bodies had been taken out of the
mine and 100 injured, fifteen of whom
died before morning, The remaining
eighty five miners are lying at theil
homes swalhed in cotton aud vaseline
up to their eyes, with their eyebrows
hair and finger nails burned of, ant
the cooked flesh dropping from thei
bones. All the mines in the vicinity
have shut down and the miners anC
women of the families are at Krebs
the miners to aid the work of rescue
their wives, sisters and mothers t
perform the offices for the dead and Il
relieve the suffering of the wounded
All day and all night there wer
scenes which were intensely heart
rending; which made women shrek il
horror and strong men weep.
Such a panorama was never befor
unrolled to the gaze of The thousand
assembled there. 1t was impossible t,
recognize any resemblance to tn
human form in the bodies of many o
those rescued. Heads, arms, legs
hands aud feet were in many instance
torn from the trunks.

A VERY good story comes to the
Youths Companion from Kansas,
where the Farmers Alliance and its
platform of principles were recently
the chief topics of conversation. A
man Of rather questionable character
died in remote part of Waterloo
Township. The nearest preacher was
summoned TO preach funeral sermon.
Not knowing the man, the preacher
contented himself with a few general
remarks on the solemn nature of the
occasion, and then said he would be
glad to have any of the company
present say a word about the dead
man if they desired. No one moved
or spoke, and again the preacher ex,
tended an invitation to the company
to offer remarks, but again his invita-
met with silence. Finally an ole
farmer, who sat in the corner Of thu
front room, rose and said "If no ont
has any remarks to make about th,
deceased, l would like to make q fev
remarks about the sub.treasury plan.
