He Makes Few Remarks About Mcclure
 and Ills Force Hill.
 New York World, October s7.
 In a talk with World reporter about the recent course of Poker Jack' Mcclure, the republican chief supervisor down his way, Mr Fishback said yesterday:
 II have read the account of Chief Supervisor McClure's action in our state. It is characteristic of the man. The appointment of such man as su- pervisor of elections betrays the hypoc- risy of the pretext that the force bill was to secure honest elections.
 "When O. A. Hadley was governor of Arkansas J. +. Craven went to get him to rectify some outrages being perpetrated in Johnson county by the Registrars. Seeing Mcclure on the street and supposing him to be an honest man Craven got him to go to the governof's ofiice with him. Me Cure thrsw himself on sofa, puffing a cigar and apparently paying no at tention to what Crayens was saying to IIadley. The governor listened to Craven's story, but, instead of making him any answer. turned to Mcclure and said
 Mac, what was it The Gazette said about youpn
 Mcclure replied: The Gazette said that 1 saic l did not want but fifty men to carry the elections in Arkansas. It is a----lieJ said did not want but twenty-five. and it is islander to say would be bothered with the other twenty-fve.'
 '.Yet Mir. Whjtelaw Reid says that to take the control of elections out of the hands of the people and to put 1t in the control of such men as this means to secure honest elections!
 "Yes, they brought it up against me that was Union man during the war. l made no canvass for the nomi- nation. My opponents, or one of them, canvassed the state, charging that had been a Federal soldier, and quot ing from speech that made to the Federal soldiers during the war. Yet I carried $40 votes out of 628 in the convention, and 95 per cent. of those who voted for me were ex-Confederate soldiers.
 "There never has been, and never will be, more honest election held in the United States than the one just past in Arkansas. We had adopted the Australian system and had the judges or inspectors of election of two political parties in every precinct. One of the most intelligent republican judges in the state told me after the election that he did not see how the law could be improved; that it was the ,irest method he thought could be de- viSed.n

TIE people of Arkansas should weigh well the matter of q creditable exhibit at the Co., lumbian exposition. Arkansas cannot afford to lose sight of this great event SO important in history.

 A winter is just before us with all of it's biting winds, cold, drizzling rains, sloppy, muddy streets, and sudden changes of temperature. This will cause at least one-half the people to have catarrh, colds. coughs pneumonia or consumption. Thousands of people will lose their lives and tens of thou sands will acquire some chronic ail- ment from which they will never re- cover. Unless you take the necessary precautions the chances are that you twho read thisl will be one of the un- fortunate ones. Little or no risk need be run if Pe-ru-na is kept in the house and at the first appearance of any symptom take it as directed on the la bel.

THE Eastern Arkansas Fair Association may not be dead broke," but it is evidently s'in the soup to some considerable extent, and unless some reaction can be brought about it is liable to sicken and die. g'be object of this association was the improvement of the stock in this section. and as far as it has gons. the good work is showy. But it costs money to keep fine horses. and for this reaxon the as sociation must nnd a means of raising money Their fall meetings are very enjoyable to those who attend. But there is large class of citizens who will not attend because the meet ing consists simply Nf horse racing. There is . demsRd for something better. and an agri- cCitsral fair. with proper interest will sue ceed. The association complains that the farmers will not demonstrate a willingness to make an agricultural fair success nor eoa- tribute to . fund for that purpose and hence. they cannot proceed. If proprerly approached and the enterprise sroperly worked up, we are satisfied that the farmers will not miss such an opportunity to advance their inter. estt. Let us have an agricultural, mechani- cal and stock fair.

It PaysI


 For the benefit of the cotton gf0wers of Crawford county. we wish to call especial attention to the difference in prices of the long and short staple cotton. On Thursday of last week our townsman, J. E. Smith offered three bales of cotton for sale, two of long staple and one short. He received 0{ cents per pound for the long and only 7t for the short. The cotton had all been carefully gathered and ginned. It requires no more time nor labor tQ raise one than 1t does the other, and surely the difference in price is worthy of attention. If our farmers must raise cotton. why not raise the kind for which they can get the price2 Mir. Smith has few seed from the long staple cotton which he wishes to sell. Give them trial next year.

THE patriot will sacrifice his prejudices next Tuesday and vote as his conscience dictates will be for the best interest of the common country. As a matter of fact the principal opposition to democracy here is based upon greed for office, narrow prejudices and 5ssl- ousy. The so-called Peoples party cannot hope to win, hence they put their shoulders to the wheel of republication and will vote on rule or ruin policy. Some of tue greatest republicans of the day have declared their in- tention to vote for Cleveland and lower taxes as against Harrison, MeKinleyism and the force bill The best interests of the country demand that we should vote for Cleveland Stevenson and their eisctoxs. and for our statesman McCuIloch, of Lee.

FOUR FlREMEN KILLED.

Disastrous aud Fatal CONFEDERATION at
Nashville, Tenn.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. AT $40
O'Clock this afternoon the most disas-
trous fire that Nashville has had since
1881, broke out in Webb, Stevenson &
Co.'s store on College Street. A strong
wind was blowing from the northwest,
and although fine fremen we're
promptly on hand, they could do
practically nothing. The fire gradually
found it's way into the adjoining store
occupied by A. &. Rhodes & Co., and
then into Atwell & Sneed's. At this
time the wind changed and the fire
started in another direction. Weakly
4 Warren's seven story furniture store,
north of Webb, Stevenson d Co., was
soon a mass of flames. The members
of the colored fire company were
standing across an alley on three
story building of the Phillips & Buttorff
Manufacturing Company when Weakly
& Warren's building suddenly bulged
out in the center and fell across the al
ley. Four tiremen, all colored, were
caught under the falling building and
instantly crushed to death.
The fire was practically under control
at II o'clock. There were number of
men injured at various times by fail
ing walls and explosions that blew
out the fronts of.two or three stores.
1t is supposed that the fire is of incen-
diary origin, as Fireman DAILY, while in
the Atwell & Sneed building saw man
apply a torch to a mass of inflammable
material in the rear of that building.
The loss will approach 100000
