A peep into our Children'l
Department will repay you,
The dainty novelties displayed
this season seem to surpass all
former efforts. The prices were
never so low. This may be
said of Clothing in general.
The Tuxedo and Eton Full
Dress Suits are PRIME favorites
with the youngsters. The I'm
perial, the swell thing for the
very little tots, is having a big
run. All very attractive in ap'
pearance and price.

Let The People Choose Their Own
 Senators.


 Legislatures can generally be trusted to perform the duties resting unon them without specific instructions. The lower house comes fresh from the peo- pie and should be in Harmony with the sentiment of the electors on every pub lie question. But for years the people have complained because mistakes have been made by legislatures in the election of United States senators. The people have always been consulted It IS time for the democracy of Arkan- sas to submit this question to the dem- ocratic voters, as was done in Illinois when Palmer won such glorious vic- tory over the money-bags and schem- ing politicians. No candidate for senator in this state can say that the people are not as competent to pass upon his merits as any man whom they may elect to the general assembly. or that the people will not measure him up according to the true tests of states manship. If the people can be trusted in selecting candidates for governor and other state officers it is certainly absurd to refuse to allow them voice in selecting senators. Our candidates for congress are forced to go before the people with their claims and the judge ment of that tribunal is accepted as final. The selection is based often up- on the good impression the candidate makes among those whom he desires to serve, the voters having the same powers of analyizing his character and fitness that the politicians have. The duties of tue senators are the same as those of congressman, and their selec- tion should not be so far removed from the people they serve, The people are not unwilling to instruct their repre- sentatives as to their wishes in the election of United States Senators, and no true representative will decline to act upon the instructions of majority of his party. An earlier way to settle the question would be f the various counties in the st instruct for senator at the same tim ney instruct for governor, and other state officers. This plan would save the state the ex- pense of prolonged contest in the next general assembly, at heavy cost to the state, and would answer the pur- pose better than to leave it to be deter mined as heretofore.-Ark.P Press.

What McKinleyism Is.

The New York World recently sum- med up the iniquities of the Mckinley bill, as follows: Ut imposes an average duty or tax of nearly half thelr value up- on several thousand imported articles. This is fully 50 per cent above the aver age rate of the first war tariff, passed in 1861. It taxes the necessaries of the peo- pie highest and the luxuries lowest. It burdens manufacturers, rObS consumers, and handcaps American commerce by taxing raw materials. No other manu- featuring nation commits such an act of barbarism. It taxes the many for the bene- fit of the few. Several of it's schedules were admittedly written by rich manu- lecturers, and passed in return for con tribations to the Republican campaign fund. It coddles with protection four times as much as was deemed ,adequate sixty years ago, 'Infant industries" that have grown hoary, rich and impudent on tribute wrung from the people. It hurts labor by increasing the cost of living and circumscribing the market for American products.

Silver Paper At Premium Over
 Gold.

Silver certificates and greenbacks sold at premium in New York yester- day above gold. This completely dis proves all the Contractionsts have said in their effort to force the perpet- uation of the gold standard. It is easy t. account fol it. There IS so little money in the country that when our crops are being marketed. silver certificates and greenbacks and other paper money, being more easily transported than coin, leave New York and come west. They stay here month or so and then go back to New York. In the mean time New York has the same sort of stringency we have all the year, but makes such howl about it that 1t frightens the country. After all the talk about the 'dishonest dollar" from these rascally speculators and their foolish imitators, it is gratifying to see them paying more in gold for silver paper tban the face of the certificate calls for. "They have digged pit and have fallen therein;" "in the snare Of the wicked is there own foot caught" :" St. Louis Chronicle.

Big Barbecue.

For several days the air about For rest City has been full of cordial in- vitations to the people to come oyer to Jerlcho on Thursday, and get eome- thing good to eat Hence it was that yesterday morning vehicle after vehicle loaded with men. women, boys, girls and babies of all sizes, fell into line on the road to the Lone Pine tree about twelve miles northeast of town.
 There were perhaps seventy-five or an hundred persons from town, and when they arrived they met people from Little Rock, from Cross county, and from all parts of St Francis county and elsewhere.
 CIt is estimated that there were 800 or 1000 people present. The day was delightfully."- spent in social intercourse, and although there were several pros- pective candidates present, the.only speech making was that of the ''fellow and his best girl" The barba- cue was the most enjoyable affair of the kind which has been had in this county in five years. There was a great plenty to eat, in fact there were niue carcaSses which were not touched, and those who eat until they could eat no more, say that it was the best bar becued meat they ever did eat.
 There was couple of games of base ball between the Telicos and the Jeri- chos, the former winning the first game and we don't know who won the other. There was music and dancing on the grounds, good water, and not a ripple to mar the pleasure and beauty of the occasion. The gen. eral verdict is that it was good to be ill Jericho and that the cry of hard times times has not reached that God-favored section.
