 The outlook for better price foI cotton is gloomy indeed. Notwith. standing the ruinous low price of las, season, farmers have raised as much as ever, which will prove detrimental to them and all other classes i'll the South.-Texarkana Democrat.
 The Argus acknowledges the receipt of a complimentary ticket from the Eastern Arkansas Fair Association which meets at Forrest City, October 4, 5 and e6. Our old friend Dr. Il. r. Dooley is President of the Association and he will no doubt see that it is sue cess. .-Brinkley Argus.
 Treiber's platform tries to bark at 10th ends by endorsing Harrison with his well known force bill, while in an other section they demand bill which makes the election officer directly re- sponsible to the people. Their hypoc- ricy is too transparent to avail them anything. g.-Jonesboro Sun.

 Move corn was raised in Arkansas this year than i'll any year since the state was settled, and 1t is likely that the crop will go on increasing year by year. Not bushel of corR or pound of corn meal should be imported When we learn to produce all of these food products that we consume Vt shall save millions of dollars, and millions saved are millions made.-Ar kansas Democrat.
 Ten years ago Arkansas was not known as fruit state-today it IS con sidered the best fruit state in the union. This fact was made known te the world by the splendid exhibits sht has made at the best and largest ex positions in the country. The stats can be made as noted for her other wondrous products as she is for her fruil if we will but let the world know what we have. e.-Arkansa Press.
 If the city authorities would only enforce the vagrant law Pine Bluff would either soon be entirely free iron tramps and thieves or else the street, would be in a splendid condition Every other city in the land enforces the law and arrests and fines all per sons who have no visible means o support, and if they cannot pay tht fine they are placed on the chain gang and made to work the street. There are enough of this class of peoplD here to clean the city in a week s time.-Pint Bluff Commercial.
 If a failure to vote for or against { constitutional amendment is to bt counted at all, investigation ought ts be instituted to find out the will o tue voter. The Press knows dozel democrats here who were strong fol amendment No ? that overlooked il on their ticket and failed to vote either for or against. What sort of law o justice would count them against tn, amendment? The most that can b' taken for granted by their failure tt the matter.-Paragould Press.
 There is talk of putting in a system of water works in our town. Int plan is to be let the Ozan Lumber Company furnish the water and thu power, organized stock company tt furnish the capital, and let whoeve desires a ny drant pay for the use of it With few fire hydrants, a good 6 incl hose, and fire company, there would be wonderful decrease in the insu rance payment of our town. Let tn, plan or some other equally as good bs put in operation at once.--Nevad; County Picayune.
 It is seldom than any one act of leg islation gives so much canae for grat ulation to the elements of society ant the tax paying classes as the election law passed by the last state genera assembly. It is a long step forward ii ballot reform, and at one feel swoop il sweeps away as chaff all ward heelers bulldozers and corruptionists from thu polls.

 The Columbian half-dollars, whicl are to be executed to the number of 5, COG, 900, in aid of the worlds fair, vii probably never circulate largely. Thei number is hardly large enough to g' around among coin collectors and mos of them will probably be quickly retire, as money. As they are to be issuet directly to the worlds fair manager they will probably be more plentiful in and near Chicago during fair tim than anywhere else in the country Possibly residents of other sections ma, have their only opportunity of gettins one by attending the fair in person There are more than 60,000, 900 peopl in these United States, and 5 900 900 i one-twelfth of that number. Thes coins will no doubt command larg premium.
 If the next legislature fails to regu late, and bring within the bounds o legitimate business, the extortionat charges of express companies in thi state, it will fail to do an act of justic to the people of the state, for whicl there is universal demand. There i no corporate monopoly that is merci lessly fieecing and robbing the peopl, in more damnable manne than the express company whicl dominates that business in Arkansas Hot Springs News. The Commer cial agrees with the News that thi matter should surely receive the atten tion of our lawmakers, and the entir press of the state should take the sub
