FALL FESTIVITIES.

St. Louis Extends q Cordial Welcome to All
 The city of St. Louis has become famous the country over through the agency of her annual Fall Festivities and from that source has gained the sobriquet of the Carnival City of America.
 For the season of 1892 all previous efforts in the line of entertainment will be eclipsed. The great St. Louis Exposition will throw it's doors open to the public Wednesday, September 7th and will continue to entertain and delight thousands during the period extending over forty days. One of the chief attractions announced by the Management is the engagement of Col. P. 5. Gilmore and his world renowned band, one hundred strong. The illumination by gas and electricity will extend over larger area and be on grander scale than any sim. liar exhibition ever attempted in the world. The thirty-second great St. Louis Fair and Geological Gardens, Oct. 3rd to 8th, whose fame has been heralded broadcast, will be one of the main attractions of that week, and as has been customary for the last thirteen years the Yelled Prophet will again appear in his fayorite city, on the even- ing of Tuesday, October 4th. The ho- tel accommodations of St. Louis have been materially increased since last year and strangers are assured of hos pitable treatment.
 The Missouri Pacific Railway and Iron Mountain Route, with their vast network of lines extending over the States or Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Indian Territory, Arkansas the West, South and Southwest, in order to encourage travel, have made a remarkably low round trip rate from points on their lines to St. Louis and return during the Festivities.

congressman. Featherston is himself candidate for congress in the First Arkansas district. He has received the republican nomination and the in- dorsement of the Peoples party. He is now square out-and-out force bill republican, and the people of Arkan- sas should thoroughly understand him. Besides he is special agent of the re-. publican national committee to make bargains between the Peoples party -so-called- and the republicans in Ar kansas. He is receiving regular sal ary from the republican national coR- mittee, and has the promise of a large contribution for use in his own congressional district. He is at once the special spy and the ac- credited agent of the force bill repub- licans in the state of Arkansas. The people of the First congressional dis trict of the state ought not to be hum- bugged by him now as they were in 1888. He has come out in his true colors during the past three or four years, and there ought to be no longer a doubt that he belongs to the enemy. If the people of the First district of Arkansas should give majority of their votes to Featherston for congress, or the people of the state at large in- dorse the deal that he has made with the republican national committee, it would be only just and proper that Arkansas should get all the calamity out of the force bill that Johnny Dav- enport can put into it."

.r,,r ,ropble in the mining regions

TIE trouble in the mining regions of East Tennessee cuiminated m the ar rest and imprisonment of several of the miners, after several skIrmishes, in which a number of miners were killed and wounded and several state troops killed. The convicts have all been thrown back upon the state and the mines will heneeforth be operated with free labor. The charge of the convicts will entail enormous expense upon the taxpayers of Tennessee, and this they are not able to stand. All of this trouble might have been avoided if the governor had possessed the back bone to uphold the law.

TROOP POSITIVE.

Carnahan bitterly denies that he travelled on Col. Whipple's free rail- road pass, but the following letter places the gentleman in the light of denying fact which IS absolutely true. The letter speaks for itself:
 BATEsvILLE, ARK, August 24. To the Editor of the Arkansas Gazette:
 Dear Slr-I notice that Prof. Carna- han denies that he rode on Col. Whip ple's railroad pass from Sulphur Rock to Newport on the 30th day of July last.
 Now, the facts are that I, in compa- ny with Hon. ". $. Abbot of Chicago, H., was trave'ing in the same car with the gubernatorial candidates from Sul- phur Rock to Newport. We were standing in the aisle few seats back of Col. Whipple and saw the conduc- tor approach him to collect the fare. We saw Col. Whipple present pass to the conductor. We heard make in- Quiry as to who the other was, and saw Col. Wbipple motion towards Prof. Car nahan, who sat on the opposite side of the aisle. This aroused my suspicion that Col. Whipple and Prof. Car nahan were travelling on the same railroad pass, and when the conductor came up to us I asked him if Whipple was travelling on a pass and passing Carnahan with him. He replied that it was not proper for him | in his position as conductor to talk about matters of this kind. When told him what we had seen and asked him if he would deny that this was tht fact, the conductor very gentlemanly and frankly admitted that Col. Whip pie was travelling on a railroad pass t. pass himself and one other, and h, designated Prof. Carnahan as thu | other.
 Ipredicated the statement of CarDa han riding on Whipple's railroad pass made in my speech at Cave City, or these facts. Yours very truly, J. c. YANCEY. And thus is Prof. Carnahan rewarded for aiding the republicans materially indirectly" It is pretty small thing to stoop to, but Carnahan appears am | ply capable to do it without a grunt.

MISREPRESENTATION.

Sheriff Fitch, in his speech at Lati- ner schoolhouse on Wednesday, m ,de some assertions that do not bear the light of investigation. Among these utterances was one which deserves especial attention, as it is likely to mislead persons who do not take the trouble to ascertain the truth for themselves. Sheriff Fitch asserted that the merchants held weapon, so to speak, over the heads of the farmers which would enable them to render imperative the election law as applied to any given customer by withholding the poll-tax receipts of those whom they had reason to believe would vote the democratic ticket. This was rather far-fetched, for in making the asser- tion he assumed that every merchant was democrat and majority of his customers populites. It is custom of long standing in this section for mer- chants to pay the taxes of their GUS toners. Thousands of dollars are thus paid out by the merchants of Forrest City every year. A TIMES man started out yesterday to investi- gate. He visited several merchants and from them learned that no tax re- ceipt had ever been withheld from a customer. The amount is charged to his account, and, like any other item of indebtedness, is secured by mort gage. The receipt is made out in the customers name and would be as val ueless to the merchant as that much blank paper, so far as securing the payment of any debt is concerned. When any customer calls for his tax receipt it is given him without word, and if he fails to call for it, it is left in the safe, subject to his order.
 And this much for Sheriff Fitch's bugaboo.

FEArHEKsrON's TREACHERY.

F0rce-bill Featlierston has reached the climax of his treachery. Born of South ern parents, he has fallen so low as to do this thing, The very dogs in the streets, their muzzIes stinking with the ofial and garbage of the sinks and gutters, are in- fniteIy his superiors in all that goes to make up true decency. THE TIMES is not surprised at Featherston's action. but it is surprised that self-re- specting republicans should make such bargain with the conscienceless whelp.
 A Washington dispatch to yesterdays St. Louis Republic conveyed the following intelligence:
 Information has been received here that ex-Congressman Featherston, who was given Congressman Gates seat for Arkansas in the house of representatives of the Fifty-first congress, is in New York in regular attendance at republican head quarters. Featherston, according to ac- counts, has plan to take the vote of Arkansas from the democratic eolpnn in the next electoral college. The plan, in brief. is to secure haif-dozen or more electoral votes for the Republican party in the state of Arkansas and like num- Der of congressman through a union with the Peoples party in that state. Feather ston is now the mere abject tool of Powell Clayton. When he first came out as a Peoples party candidate for congress an 1888 great many honest men who had been voting the democratic ticket believed that while Featherston was not regular he was as good democrat as anybody. When Featherston came to congress, how ever, he showed his teeth. He voted with the Republican party all along the line. Featberston's plan as pre- sented to Tom Carter was that the republicans should indorse the Peoples party state candidates, and that the Peoples par ty in turn should support the repub- lican national electoral ticket and the congressional ticket. Featherston was immediately appointed an agent of the Republican party with a salary, and was sent back to Arkansas by Carter with Instructions togo over the state and report on the situation. He has had telegraplnc correspondence with his agents in Arkansas during the last forty-eight hours. and it is understood that the result is that his offer has been agreed to, and that the republic ans are going to withdraw their state ticket in Arkansas and the Peoples party will support the republican can saidates for presidential electors and

GEN FIELD, populite candidate for vice-president. refused to speak at Morrilton yesterday because Congress man W. l.. Terry was booked for re- ply. Field said he did not wish to lower the dignity of the office by hav- ing a candidate for an inferior office reply. As a conceited ass of the first degree, this fellow Field is a success. Brer Feataerston should paddle Brer Field and send him back to the Vir- ginia refuge for the weak minded.

CHICAGO, Sept. SO.-Although the ad-
vent of cooler weather will operate
against the spread of cholera, even should
there be sporadic cases in the east, it
will nevertheless be advisable for towns
and villages which have the work of sani-
tation under progress to continue their
operations. So, at least, say eminent
physicians and sanitarians both of this
city and of New York. The next six
months, they say, are to be regarded as so
much vantage time, kind of breathing
spell within which the work of sanitation
can be pushed forward without immediate
fear of the near approach of the plague.
That New York authorities have so far
been fairly successful in keeping it out of
the country is no guarantee that it will
not make appearance next spring. If the
work of sanitation, however, is vigorously
pushed forward during the cold weather
the probability of visitation in every
locality where time has been taken by the
forelock will be proportionately lessened.

eyes are in very bad condition, and he
has told me that must give up speaking
for week or more. l expect to speak

throat and eyes improve before that, I
will go on the stump. think that things
are looking splendid here now for the
