FRIDAY AFTERNOON. FEBRUARY F, lsaa.
No "Traipsing."

The following eogent reasons against the ridiculous practice indulged in by gubernatoria candidates, commonly known as "traipshng,' are urged by the Little Rock Democrat, and will meet the unqualified endorsement of all thinking people:
 One of the strongest reasons against a canvass for the nomination by candidates for state offices is the fact that it prolongs the season of politics. already too long, We spend entirely too much time in the discussion of pol itics in the South-greatly to the delri- ment of our material interests. The people are wrought up to q great pitch eff excitement by the troops of candi- dates, congressional, state, county. municipal and township. and a spirit is engendered that is by no means Ia vorable to the good of society. cer- tain participation in political affairs is necessary. It is important that people should devote time to such matters, but enough is enough. and we of the South have entirely too much of It.. We have too many campaigns. too many elections, too many speakings, too many conventions, too much poll tics. It is all bad for the peace of the communities; bad for crops, for busi- ness and the country generally. If there was no other gain from their new constitution to the people of Misslssip- pi those provisions which put their elections four years apart and which render many of their officers ineligible after one term are worth millions to them. The people of Arkansas cannot secure more beneiicent reform than by following the example set by Mis- sissippi. Too much politics is the same as too much government.

P. p. P. Saves Life.

Says he will live forever. A prominent Savannahian, formerly superintendent of a railroad, says: 'i was crippled in my feet and arms so that 1 could not walk without crutches, nor eat without having servant to feed. l tried physicians everywhere, but to no purpose. and finally went to New York, where my doctors, at the time, decided to amputate my arm, but found that course impraticable, on ae- count of wound I had received during the war. l returned to Savannah com plets wreck, and my case seemingly hope less. As a forlorn hope l began to take F. F. P, and am rejoiced to say that af- ter using three bottles, my limbs began to straighten out, my appetite and health soon returned, and 1 now feel like new man; really, as if l had been made over again, and as if could live foreyer-so long as l can get F. r.

DiscredIting PinkertOn's Evidence.
The knights of Labor wanted to have
Pinkerton cross-eXamined, and especially
as to his declaration that during the
strike on the New York Central in New
York state train was derailed by
striker. Not striker was convicted, but
Pinkerton, when charged by Pinkerton
after his arrest, knocked Pinkerton down
and beat him. The same information
against this Knight of Labor. who was sub
sequently released, was used against
another, not a knight of Labo He wanted
this matter brought out so as to convict
Pinkerton out of his own mouth, but the
committee refused to permit it.

Struck Feeder of Gas
The explosion occurred in the tunnel on
the first lift and was caused by workmen
striking a strong feeder of gas which had
accumulated and of which they were un-
aware. When the gas was released it
rushed upon the miners with such force
as to penetrate their safety lamps and the
explosion followed with terrific force.
Timbers were tom out and trucks weigh
ing several tons loosened and hurled IN
every direction. Those who escaped were
burned more or less or injured by flying
debris. The gangways are in fearful
condition and it was several hours before
the dead and injured could be reached.
Priests and doctors were soon on the scene,
as were hundreds OF helping citizens.

Washington Expects to Have to Take
Care of 60, 900 of Them.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-Plans for the
entertainment OF thousands of Grand
Army of the Republic visitors, who are
expected in Washington at the national
encampment in September, are now under
consideration by the executive committee.
This entertainment, it should be under
stood includes only bed and shelter for those
veterans and q. A 4. posts who do not for
themselves arrange these matters. The
committee estimates that there will be
$4,000 of this class of visitors to entertain,
and that fund of not less than $50, 900
will be necessary to carry its plans inIo
execution. In the first place all the pub
lie school buildings will be used. In addi-
ton the committee will lease any large
buildings when favorable terms can be
made.
Barracks to BE Erected.
But the large proportion of the free
quarters will have to be in buildings es-
pecially erected by the committee. On the
grounds of the Washington monument
temporary buildings are to be erected.
These structures will be siXty-four feet
wide and 500 feet long and viii each have
sleeping accommodations for $500 men.
II is proposed to have twelve OF these
buildings, which will afford accommoda-
tion for over 5000. In the immediate
vicinity of Fthese quarters arrangements
will be made for the erection of large din
ing halls where meals can be served at
stipulated figures.
Looking AfIer Wives of the Vets.
In fact, all through the city in the vicin
ity of the school buildings and of other
buildings where large bodies of men are
quartered some provision must be made
for supplying the men with meals. OF
course the committee will not pay for the
meals, as the visitors will assume that
part of the expense. The committee will
supply bedding and cots free Of cost and
the visitors will furnish their own SUBJ
sistence. The citizens committee is going
to care for the veterans alone. There will
be no arrangements for women occupying
the free quarters. A great many of the
old soldiers will want to bring their wives
with them, and special committee, of
which Miss Clara Barton, president of the
Red Cross Association, is chairman and
Miss Cora c. Curry is secretary, is making
arrangements to secure quarters for the
ladies'

The Sortherner Resents the knights
Criticism Very Vigorously.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Representative
Oates, chairman of the house committee
that investigated the Homestead labor
trouble, came nearly to blows Saturday II,
an alteration with John Devlin, on.. of
the members of the executive commi; tee
of the Knights of Labor. Devlin and bis
associates submitted to the house commit
tee Friday certain questions which were
put to the Pinkertons, and answered by
them in writing. Saturday morning Dew
lin went on the floor of the house before
the session and asked for a copy of the
testimony, which could not be furnished
him at once, as il had not come from the
committee.
Oates Version of the Affair.
Oates says the affair happened this way:
Oates. in response to Devlin's request for
a copy of the testimony taken Friday, s:,:,.
that it was not printed yet, but Deviin
could have order on the stenograp pher
to see the testimony and make whatever
notes from it he wanted. Devlin insisted
on a copy and Judge Oates told him that
the proof sheets would come from the
printing Office Monday evening and that
he (Devlin) could have a copy Tuesday
morning, but that he would like the
names of witnesses he wanted examined
as the committee wanted to make a report
before adjournment.
Devlin then said that he though the ac-
tion of the committee Friday was most
extraordinary. He thought it extraort;-
nary that the Pinkertons should be per-
mitted to see the written questions and
read them before they were asked by I he
chairman. His manner well his
words offended Judge Oates, who told him
that the committee had treated him aui
his associates with extraordinary consi,.-
Grafton, having given their questions pre-
cedence over those of the committee, AMI
that his criticism now was improper and
impertinent. More words followed, AMI
Judge Oates told Devlin that he might ~
to h-n. Devliu charged that the comm!
tee had taken this recess at the instance
of the Pinkertons. Judge Oates retorJe,!
that this was false; that Devlin was n d
liar. The two men seemed about to come
to blows when members interposed su,.
prevented fight.
