and is based upon official and other evidence which we have spent some time in collecting. and which we be- lieve is sufficient in every case to sub stantiate the truth of the assertion made. The simple facts about Mir. Hills career are that he learned his first lessons in political methods from man who was first dismissed from the union army and afterwards a con vict; that his chief weapons in politi- trickery and party treachery: that he has habitually formed his political al- dances with the worst elements of so- ciety; that he has from his earliest manhood to the present moment never associated with the respectable ele- ments of society, but with the base and deprayed; that he has conferred the public offices within his gift upon the men who were most willing and interruptions in doing his political work; and that the theft of the control of the state senate, with which he has ended his career as governor, is the logical and fitting culmination of busy lifetime of political crime. That man with such record as this is should presume to offer himself as the candi- date of a great party for the presidency of the United States is the most aston ishing event in our political history. Nothing approaching it has eyer hap pened before, or is likely ever to hap pen again, for it is preposterous to as- sume that the experiment can meet with anything except overwhelming rebuke and failure.

After the Grippe

Convalescence is very slow, and to recov- CT the heaih-tOne tonic is absolutely nee essary. Hoods Sarsaparilla has been used with wonderful success as a building-up medicine and blood purifier after attacks of the Grippe after Typhoid fever, Scar let fever, Diphtheria, Pneumonia or other prostrating diseases. It possesses just the building-up effect so much needed; it vi- talizes and enriches the thin and impov- erished blood, and it invigOrates the kid neys and stimulates the liver so that they resume regular and healthy action. Thou sands of people have taken Hoods Sarsa- parlla as a preventive of the Grippe with success. Thousands have found in it res toratiOn to health and strength after this dreaded complaint. For instance. Mir. Jacob Knapp of Tipton, Iowa, we'll known business man, says he had the Grippe twice, leaving him very weak and with bad cough. Hoods Sarsaparilla give him a splendid appetite, made him feel strong and as well as ever.

Three Negroes Killed.

 An unfortunate tragedy occurred last Sunday near Keo. Lonoke county. Jon athan Ford. q constable, undertook to arrest lIamp Biscoe. colored, on war rant for assaulting a white man with an ax. Biscoe. his son and wife all de- elared that he should not be arrested, and appeared at the door, each armed with gun, and opened fire on the con- stable and his deputy, wounding Ford. Bi scoe was also wounded. Later on another party was deputized to arrest them, and after some trouble did so. and they were taken to the station and put under guard for the night, but dur ing the night couple of masked men went on the guards with drawn revolv- CTS and they fled. Biscoe, wife and son were shot to death. The verdict of the jury was that they came to their death at the hands of unknown par ties. Biscoe was a bad negro and his own race do not deplore his death.
 Deputy Sheriff Tygart and Coroner Dr. Bell returned Wednesday evening from the scene of the trouble at Keo. and report that all was quiet and that no further trouble was anticipated. The negroes in the neighb0rhood would have nothing to do with the burial of the Bjscoe negroes, saying that they were a bad lot. Ford, the wounded constable, was resting easy and it is thought he will get well, The ball broke his right arm and passed into his side, ranging downward and making a very painful wound.

TO THE NEWSPAPERS OF ARKANSAS
 The Arkansas Press association, at its annual meeting in 1891, adopted the following resolutions:
 Resolced, That the publication of legal advertising. such as city ordin- ances, delinquent tax lists, etc. at less than the legal rates is unprofessiondl and detrimentGl to the financial inter- estS and influences of the press and oaglt to be condemned.
 Resotred, further, That it be the earn est endeavor of every member of thia association to adhere as closely as pos sible to the established legal rates"
 These resolutions were unanimously adopted. In the face of these facts at least fifty-five of the newspapers of the state have recently accepted an offer from the secretary of state to publish a certain notice of a constitutional amendment at half price. And they have done so without even a protest. or the asking of regular rates. This leads us to remark that the resolutions of our association are farce, and the majority of those participating in their adoption insincere. What are we to think of such weakness
 TIE TINES is reliably informed thal with one exception it stands alone Tn demanding the regular rate for this business. Tine constitution of the ftate of Arkansas distinctly and with out equivocation, and plainly and uD- mistakably says 'sshaU Dc published in dt least one newspaper in each eounty." There are no ifs" and ''proyisos" to the constitution. The Digest. how ever, has these provisos. We argue that the constitution is explicit and must be obeyed, and the act under which the secretary of state offers to contract with newspapers sis void, un- constitutional and of no effect.
 The newspaper which publishes this advertisement for less than regular rates does an unprofessional act which should he severely condemned @

Didn't Know 1t Was Loaded. nfx-G

James Hines Post, No. 86, Grand Army of the Republic, of Stuttgart, has rushed into lot of resolutions because it dId not like statement which recently appeared in the Sun. In the outset we want to assure the G. A. k. that the war, so far as the South and Southerners are concerned, is over and that men who fought Inder Grant are just as welcome and have every privilege here as those who fol- lowed Lee. But the war left it's histo- ry,with which we dealt in the offensive editorial and with which we now propose to deal. While James Hines Post de- nOunees as false the whole of our ed itorial, the fact remains, supported by unfair Federal records, too, that the whole of our statement is substantial ly correct. We acknowledge that we erred in stating that there were only 2,6000 900 men mustered into service by the Federal government. The truth is there were 2.6SS. .523 in active service. The Confederate forces were not so numerous as we claimed, but for the sake of round numbers we will keep them at 60O,000. These gre facts that cannot be denied, they are patent to everybody, and C.. A. R. men have about as much reason for denouncing us for referring to them as they would have their Maker for creating the sun, moon and stars. It is fact that the Confederate forces numbering 600 900, poorly armed, with a scant supply of food and clothing, no navy, no anything worth mentioning in the beginning, for four years sue cessfully combatted the Federal forces numbering 2,600 900. The worlds his tory records nothing to compare to the generalship, courage, endurance, hero ism of the confederacy! It stands alone it's splendorl It is a fact that there are today more Federal soldiers on the pension rolls than there were men in the Confederate army from the firing upon Fort Sumpter to the surren. der at AppOmattox Courthouse; fact which would prevent us acknowledging that we were in the Federal army even if we had been in the front ranks of every battle. Had Lees forces equaled those of the enemy the eonfederacy would have triumphed in two years Had his forces outnumbered the feder. alS as greatly as the federals outnum- bered his, Lee would have ended the war in six nonths-at least this is our opinion and the facts seem to fully warrant it. James Hines Post No. S6 nor its war-like commander or adju. tant can't offer single fact to disproye any statement made by the Sun, and they know it.

Nervous women seldom receive the sym pathy they deserve. While often the pie lures of health, they are constantly ailing. To withhold sympathy from these upfort- unates is the height of cruelty.
