THE LATE ELECTION.

Additional information Concerning the
Late UnpleasantnesS in the Different
States.
In Virginia the Populists were counted
out Of all but eleven members of the leg
islature, and an aggregate Of about $4,000
votes is left them after the democrats
are through counting. This is Popu-
list gain by democratic figures, Of about
$1,000 votes since last year.
There being no registration law in that
state, the main plan Of corrupting the
election was to stuff the ballot box with
democratic tickets. By this plan, in
many precincts the total vote was more
than doubled, and Of course there were
very few districts in which any but a
democrat had o chance of election.
IOWA.
The vote OF ninety -four out of the
ninety-nine counties in Iowa is: Popu-
list, 221SO; democrat, 165,295; republi-
can, 198,88O; prohibition, 8,478. Popu-
list gain since 1892, 3,445; republican loss
since 1892, 11,7O2; democratic loss since
1892, 22,562.
NEBRASKA.
Republicans elected their candidate
for judge OF the supreme court with the
aid Of democratic votes, while the Popu-
lists carried a majority Of the counties,
making many heavy gains over last year.
or the ninety counties, Judge Holcomb,
Popullst. carried fifty seven, the republi
cans twenty-five, and the democrats
eight. Last year the counties were di-
vided as follows: Populists, forty one;
republicans, forty; democrats, nine. Thus
year the fusion between republicans and
democrats was effected in the cities and
large towns.

Starving Miners,

MILWAUKEE, WIS, November 19-Gov-
ernor Peck has taken official notice of
the situation among starving miners at
Hurley and will this week issue call to
the people of Wisconsin for food and
clothing to relieve the distress. The
governors plans contemplate systematic
relief. He insists that Wisconsin is
amply able to provide for its poor, and
says no one shall 60 hungry in the state.
He will arrive in Milwaukee within day
or two and take charge personally Of the
relief measures. There are 800 people
who need immediate assistance, and it is
probable that before the winter is over

Western Wheat Prospects,

ST. Louis, Mo-, November 19.--The
Modern Miller Of to-day has this to say
regarding crop prospects in the western
wheat belt: Wheat in Oklahoma, north
ern Texas, Arkansas and southern Kan
sss is doing we'll. The rains and snow
had the desired effect and the plant is
growing nicely. Cold weather has
proved disadvantage, but not 30 seri-
GUS as the drouth.
Farmers in western Kansas have re
newed hopes since the fall of moisture
and reports Of seeding are coming in.
Good weather for week or two will re-
suit in greater wheat seeded acreage
in that section. Not enough rain has
fallen in the states bordering on the
Mississippi to relieve the drouth con-
ditions, and the late freeze added to the
seriousness Of the situation; yet, so far,
few complaints are heard of impaired
crop prospects, and reports on winter
wheat from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Ken
tucky and Tennessee are generally favor
able.
Deliveries Of wheat by farmers have
increased at country mills in many Sec
tions, including considerable old wheat
of former years. crops that had been
carried over two years. This would in
dicste country reserves are being cleaned
up closer than usual.

ANOTHER STRIKE.
On Account of Which 5000 Men are
Ont of Work,

N"~N
Out Of Work,
BUFFALO, November 20.--As the re-
suit Of strike on the part Of employees
Of the Lehigh Valley road, begun Sun
day, nearly all the freight trains Of the
road are tied up aud 5000 men are out
Of employment.
Fortunately no perishsble stuff is
stalled on the road. With the expert
ence derived from the struggle in Au-
gust last year, the superintendent and
his aids hope to overcome the yard
blockade in a few days. At 3 o'clock
this afternoon gang of laborers were
engaged in bringing down from store
room in the upper floors Of the Lehigh
Valley station several wagon loads Of
cots and cooking utensils, which were
used in last years strike. These were
being taken out to the East Buffalo car
shops, to improvise lodging house for
recruits to the freight crews, Here in
Buffalo there are about 600 employees OF
the Lshigh, and perhaps one-third OF
that number are out Most of those are
trainmen.
The grievances Of the Lshigh men
are Of long standing. Numerous efforts
have been made to secure q settlement
by arbitration, but the officials Of the
company have indiffsrently treated all
ovsrtures in behalf Of the employees
made by the railway federation. 9he
trouble extends back to the fall of 1892.
The men say General Manager Voorhees,
then agreed TO certain propositions, but
they assert he never kept the terms Of
the agreement. Last August he pro-
mulgated set Of rules governing the
employment OF men, which contained
apparent concessions. 1t was not long,
the men declared, before these rules
we're broken and became mockery. A
committee representing the federated
employees, iremen, engineers, trainmen
and operators, again sought redress from

AsKxIsls AID fnE WORLDS PAlB,

The time has come In the history
OF oar State when she must ad-
vance or perish beneath the wheels
OF advancement. The question
now Is. will Arkansas take her
place 1t The Worlds Fair with her
sister states or will she be without
representation and without rec0g-
milton. Every son others. and for
that matter her daughters, too, are
exceedingly snxi0us that she shall
take the position that her material
advantages and resources entitle
her to. And every legal citizen
within her borders feels that she
must be placed In the front rank.
Every effort is being made by
tle ladies' OF the 6tate and by the
leading citizens to accomplish this
end, but II cannot be done without
money; and the money must be
appropriated from ont the State
Treasury. There 10 money in the
treasury that can be used by the
State for that purpose and not

In his inaugural address Gov.
Fishhack has the following to say
about public roads:
But l cannot refrain from adding
in conclusion that the highest de-
vel0pment can never be reached
in any community without great
facilities Of intercourse, social and
commercial. These can be attain.
ed only through . good system of
public highways, The public road
is to the farmer and the rural vii.
lage what the railroad is to the
city. 1t cheapens and facilitates
intercourse.
Apart from their financial ad van.
tages, incalculable as they are, it
is difficult to overestimate the i'm
portsnce of good roads to those
pleasures and amenities of life
which constitute the very essence
OF civilization.
The Republic of France expends
every year twenty times rs much
upon her public highways alone as
Arkansas expends for all purposes,
and yet she finds it in every re.
spect . profitable investment.
When, in obedience to the demand
Of the people, we shall have abol-

this advice for farmers:


this advice for farmers:
For some time past Northern
buyers have been buying all the
hogs they could find for sale in
this State and Arkansss, and pro-
baby other Southern States.
Large numbers Of hogs have al.
ready been bought in this section
and shipped North. This means
that there 10 . scarcity Of hogs in
the North and West, and the pack
ers are now buying them up while
they are comparatively cheap and
at less than their real value, ex-
pecting to sell them back in this
section, and perhaps to the very
same parties from whom they
bought, in the form of hams, sides,
etc, and at greatly increased prices.
This is a very foolish policy on
the part of farmers. It is well
known that this section has not
enough hogs to supply the home
demand, and the shipment OF hogs
to the North simply means that we
will have to buy them back again
at prices which will, from present
indications, be higher than for
many years past. Already during
the past two weeks meats have
advanced more than q cent a pound
with indications for still higher
prices. We want to give the farm
ers earnest and kindly warning
against selling at this time.

QUEER ETHICS.

A lady in San Francisco who had
some dealings with a lawyer, was
robbed by HIM of Slo0, under the
guise Of a professional charge. She
attempted to bring suit against the
thief, hut interviewed over twenty
lawyers before she found one who
was willing to take her case. III
other words she found twenty law
yers, who. while admitting that she
had been robbed by one of their own
profession, we're guided by a pecul-
lar code of ethics which prevented
them from bringing the man to JUS
tice. She final y succeeded in get
ting Collins in court and the judge
promptly made him disgorge his
plumber.
Things have reached a peculiar
pass when the bar is composed OF
men banded together like gang of
horse thieves to protect each other.
This is the reason lawyers rob their
clients with such fearless disregard
of consequences; they know that
yther lawyers will refuse to
assist in bringing them to justice.
The honest members of the bar
should crush out this infamous stand
ard of professional ethics.
