THE POULTRY SHOW

 was, as usual, "the best in New England" Whatever our neighbors may say in com parison of Stafford's fair and their own, when the subject of the poultry exhibit is reached, there is no controversy. Staf- ford's premium cards are valued by poul- try fanciers as a diploma of merit won in competition with the finest strains in New England, and under judgment passed by an expert. The entire building, hereto fore known as the main building, now no longer the "main" one, was filled with cages at the side and through the center, generally two or more tiers deep. Every kind of fowl and many pets werethere. A young coon, partially tanned, always kept crowd at one point, it's sharp, foxy fea- lures, brilliant eyes, and hand-like claws, always on the alert for contributions of delicacies for food.

The Minstrels.

Last night the famous AL G. Field
Minstrels played to full house. This
is by far one of the best minstrels on
the road. Al. Field and Frank E. Nc
Nish deserve special mention as being
first class artist in their line. There
was an absence of the old and vulger
gags, and new and pleasing features
were introduced in each part. The
music was splendid, and taken all in
all, they gave one of the best shows of
the season. We cannot refrain from
mentioning the Norman Knights
drill, which took place un er Calcium
lights, and displayed magnificent
wardrobes, as well as splendid drilling.
AL. Field has made many friends here
who will anxiously await his coming
again next season.

m'cLURE's INSTRUCTIONS.

The DEMOCRAT has held that Nc.
Clure had no right to override the
State laws, as he did in his instruo-
tions to Federal supervisors for the
national election. The matter will be
looked into fully by the legal frater-
nifty, and proper action afterward
taken.
The st. Louis Republic thus strong
ly comments upon McClure's unheard-
of instructions:
"McClure's instructions to his super
visors to disregard the most sacred
provisions of the Arkansas Australian
ballot law for preserving the secrecy
of the ballot will surely bring him in
to trouble if the attempt is made to
carry them out. The State of Arkan-
sas has the full and perfect right to
prescribe the qualifications for saf-,
frage among its citizens within the re-
strictions set by the Fifteenth amend
ment. If the Arkansas election
law had decreed that every voter must
prepare his own ballot or lose his
vote the validity of the decree could
not have been questioned by the
chief justice of the United States, to
say nothing of Powell Clayton's ex-
chief justice of Arkansas. Having
this full and perfect right to exclude
illiterates from the right of suffrage,
the state certainly has the power to
prescribe the conditions under which
they may exercise it, The Arkansas
law provides that they shall vote only
when their ballots have been prepared
at their request by the election judges,
without the knowledge of any other
person, as to the persons or par
ty for whom the illiterate chooses
to vote. McClure's instructions
to his men to disregard
this safeguard of the secret
ballot and to thrust themselves into
the booths is as unwarranted by any
law of Arkansas or the United States
as would be his order to receive and
count the ballots of 15-year-old boys.
The federal statute does not author
ize supervisors to invade the booths,
and if il did it would be invalid. On
the contrary it specifically directs the
to keep watch upon the
ballot boxes, which they cannot do if
they go to another part of the room to
thrust themselves into the booths and
spy upon the unfortunate voters who
need help in preparing their ballots.
Such voters have just as much right
to be protected in casting secret bal
lot without overseeing by swashbuck-
ling partisan spies as their more for
tunate brethren who prepare their
ballots without assistance"

A Vital Question.

Many important questions come up
for solution, but the most Important of
all, to a man of family is, what will be-
come Of my loved ones after ! am
dead? 1t Is as much the duty of every
man to carry life insurance, for the
benefit of his family as 1t is to carry
fire insurance. No one will deny
this. Then the next question is
where TO secure the best life insur-
ances This Is answered by saying, in
the Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York, of which Mr. G. Il. Dix
on Is the agent at Texarkana. This is
the largest and most reliable company
in existence, and ii has stood the test
Of time. II has about $10,000,000 in
paying assets, above its liabilities,
has paid thousand Of policies, in the
past half century--has never failed to
pay loss. 1t is the oldest insurance
company in America, and makes the
finest showing
Now, If you have loved ones whose
welfare you wish permanently secured,
allow Mr.. Dixon to wrlto soly life
insurance in their favor, then whether
or not you are successful in business,
they cannot suffer. 10-25-S

vestment. The lots, two in number,
are twenty-five feet front by one hun
dred and forty feet deep, and are de-

poses. Vine street is destined, event.
ualy, to be one Of the business streets
Of the city, as it leads directly to the
new Federal building, in which the

a SECOND EMANCIPATION.

Signs are numerous that the negroes
of this country are undergoing a sec
ond emancipation. The termination
of chattel slavery was only the first
step toward freedom from the mental
and moral bondage of ignorance in
which the race was plunged This
second emancipation is necessarily
slow process and may take many
years, but it /, encouraging to note
at least beginning. The negro is be-
ginning TO think for himself and to re-
Iy upon his own judgement instead of
swallowing everything put before him
by one set Of politicians.
The most CONSPICUOUS example of
independence is the wholesale revolt
in the South against political domina-
tion. In Alabama the Republican
leaders were unable to cast the negro
vote for Che Peoples party. Instead
it went largely to the Democratic can
didates. The same thing happened in
Arkansas and Georgia. No cause can
be assigned for this except that ne
groes do not like Republican masters
now any better than they liked Dem
ocratic masters thirty years ago.
One of many Northern instances oc-
Cured in Chicago few days ago,
when Lloyd Wheeler, a negro of some
repute, or notoriety perhaps, assailed
the Republican doctrine of protection.
lie pointed out that the workingmen
of the South were negroes, and peril
nently inquired how tariff duties
helped them.
Under protection the price Of cot
ton has gone down to or cents a
pound The black American work.
ingman OF the South sells his cotton
in the back Of the country store for 6
cents and goes around In front and
buys in the cheap prints made from il
for 20 cents. Under this system he
makes about $3.50 year, which must
support his wife and children. will
leave 1t to those of you who have been
in the South to decide If that is not
all the ordinary black man could make
with cotton at cents pound.
And then he added. "The South
ern white man may steal the votes of
the negroes, but it is the Northern
protectionist who steals his earnings"
1t may be said that this man is a
professional negro 'out tor the stuff
and may be he is. But If he gets
other negroes TO listen to such impor-
tant truths as he is telling them there
is reason to hope that they will solve
the race problem by achieving for
themselves second emancipation as
important aud valuable to them as the
one effected by the Thirteenth
Amendment--St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

Deafness Cant be sured

Deafness is caused by an innamed con-
