Pat Egan's blundering may again involve this government and Chili.
 A review of Mr. Clevelands ap- pointments show many exceptions to the lex" rule.
 Secretary Carlisle is still holding firm against Wall street in the mat ter of the gold stringency.
 In the matter of appointments, contrary to general opinion, MT. Cleveland has broken all records.
 The President has settled the con test for the postmastership at Bloom ington, H., Vice President Steven sons home, by appointing John Ed dy to the place.
 A private letter from Honolulu says Commissioner Blount did not haul down the American flag with out consulting Minister Stevens or Admiral Skerrett. Both approved such action.
 It is said the reason the Supreme Court Justices declined to attend the naval review or Worlds FaiI opening is because they felt snub- bed at the arrangements made for theIr attendance.
 Secretary Carlisle has spoken on the Treasury situation. He says the purpose of the government to pre- serve its credit unimpairedf and maintain the parity of gold and sil- yer by all lawful means will not be abandoned.

A GREAT deal of we'll deserved cen sure has been directed agalnst the Morrilton mob for the lynching of Flanagan Thornton last week. It was a fragrant and unealled for vio- lation of law, an act that the best people of that community and of the State at large most heartily con demn. It was an exhibition of law lessness and disregard of the con stituted authorities that calls for prompt and condign punishment. Quite naturally our Chief Executive and the officials of this judicial cir cult are making strenous efforts to uncover the criminals. A letter from Governor Fishback, published elsewhere, shows his interest in the matter, and we have the assurance of Judge Wallace and Prosecuting Attorney Davis that nothing shall be left undone that promises to vim dicate the majesty of the law.

DURING a severe wind storm sey- eral buildings in Chicago were lev eled to the ground. In nearly every instance the shattered build ings were shells erected for room ac- commodations during the Worlds Fair and advertised far and wide as safe and comfortable, Now. would it not be a good idea for people to enquire a little into the safety of ac. eommodations offered by scheming syndicates and not risk life and limb in temporary habitations that will not stand a gust of wind.

grape that the rocky hill sides of the State, if planted to the vine, would prove more valuable than our best cotton lands. He said also that wine made from one species of our native grapes had been taken to Europe and pronounced equal to the best foreign vines.
 But I beg to leave the agriculture and horticultural resources of Ark ansas to Hon. W. G. Vincenheller, extracts from whose paper upon these subjects will be appended.
 MINERALS.
 There will be on exhibition from Arkansas at Chicago soon a chunk of crystalized carbonate of zinc ore, having only about 10 per cent of waste matter, weighing seven tons. 1t was, together with another simi- lar chunk weighing 64,000 pounds, or thirty two tons, broken from a boulder upon the hillside, which has been cleared off until there has been exposed a surface block of 13,O00,- GOO pounds, or 65,000 tons.
 We have, according to recent ge- ological survey, distribution of 2l6 square miles of zinc ore, and over- lying it and all around it we he*a 2,199 square miles aT marble, the same as Tennessee marble.
 We have 2,347 square miles of coal; in 1889 only 279,000 tons from twenty seven mines. We have now in operation seventy eight mines and the output is variously estimat- ed from 750,000 to l,350,000 tons annually.
 We have 1900 square miles of granite building stone) t, 305 square miles of novaculite or whitish rock famous all over the world, l26 square miles of manganese, not including ores of lower grade; 1900 square miles of limestone, available for lime and building stone; 1,296 square miles of pottery clays suitable for vitrified brick, and 612 square miles of clay for pressed brick of the highest grade. We have, also, alum shales, the out crop of which is 375 miles in length. We have 200 acres of chalk, available for the manufac- ture of highest grade of Portland cement.
 We have GAO acres of beauxite or aluminium ore And but the other day we discovered large deposits of red and yellow ochre.
 We have also enexhaustible beds of gypsum and mari.
 We have the largest hardwood trees yet discovered in the world.
 But I will leave the details of our mineral and timber resources to Prof w $. Thomas, whose oppor- tunities of observation have been superior to my own.

CARTER HARRISON has been inaug- urated mayor of Chicago for the fifth time. His inauguration was something grand and perhaps the festivities and gorgeous arrange ments that attended the event were never before equaled on a similar occasion anywhere in the wide world. Cart wheels of an enormous size, made of plants and flowers surround cd the council chamber This was no doubt a take off ou the Chicago papers that persisted during the campaign in picturing Carter with cart wheels in his hair.

TIE enmity so long existing be-
 tween capital and labor, and which
 on several occasions has threatened
 to result in serious destruction of
 property and injury to the property
 of the country in general, shows
 signs of abatement Evidence of
 this is given by the fact that rail
 road corporation in Pennsylvania of
 it's own accord recently raised the
 salaries of it's men, a step which in
 deed must be regarded as a grand
 move towards the time when diff culties between capital and labor will not exist What a glorious thing it would be for this country if the laborer and his employer would dwell together in unity. So-called labor leaders, the obnoxious walk ing delegate, Pinkerton thugs and all such characters would be com pelled to turn their attention to some other occupation other than that of earning an easy living at the expense of the toiling masses. Lab or has been to blame in some in stances for strikes and labor troub- les, but grasping monopolists were at the root of it all. Such men as Andrew Carnegie whose unlimited millions bloat them up with inde- pendence and tyrannical courage, are the ones who delight in squeez- ing the life blood out of the labor ing man, who is powerless in trying to defend himself against the action of such money bags, rolling in wealth and luxury through infa- nous legislation and jobbery. The action of the Pennsylvania railroad company above referred to is com mendable. When both parties, lab or on one side and corporations on the other, are imbued with the spirit of live and let live, the golden age of the world will have dawned and peace, good will and prosperity will reign supreme.

ONE of the important Arkansas appointments that comes within the gift of President Cleveland is that of postmaster at Little Rock Prof James Mitchell has for some time been talked of for the position. The Arkansas press has had noth ing but kind words regarding his candidacy for the office, and the DEMOCRAT cannot see how the puny opposition of ex-Senator Garland can injure his chances for an early ap- pointment. A worthy man, true democrat who has labored assiduous- ly for the party year after year with out remuneration, Prof Mitchell is certainly entitled to the office, and his appointment would be credita- ble to the appointing power It would also bring joy to the demo cratic camp and to the newspaper fraternity.

Hanford, grand standard bearer, Paul Jones, grand sword bearer; 5. K. Atkinson, grand inspector gener- al; Ed Metcalf, grand tyler general.
 The most important appointment given to Arkansas by the present administration came Tuesday in the appointment of Hon. Geo. Wm. Caruth, of Little Rock, as minister resident of the United States and consurl- general to Portugal The place pays something like $7000 per annum. Col. Caruth will probably go to Washington next week, take the oath of office, and will then re turn to wind up his affairs at home. He will leave about the middle of next month.
 As the poll tax amendment is now part of the constitution, and its provisions in force, it follows that at the election in September of next year all who have not paid their poll taxes for 1893 will be deprived of the right of voting. The last legislature provided for special poll tax re- ceipt to be issued, list of those paying to be kept, and copy of the list furnished election officers in the townships respectively. But the in itiative of all this is the assessment All who do not assess this year will be barred from paying next year. So it is of the utmost importance that those who not want to be disfran- chised should not attempt taxdodg- ing Assess this year.

Is the Time for Catarral Dyspepsia
 The Blood Must be Cleansed.

The Blood Must be Cleansed.
 The symptoms of catarral dyspep- sia are. Coated tongue, pain or heavy feeling in the stomach, sour stomach, belching of gas, dizzy head, sometimes headache, Respondent feelings, loss of appetite, palpitation of the heart and irregularity of the bowels.
 For this condition Pe-ru-na is found to be an admirable remedy. In all cases it brings prompt relief to the painful symptoms, and in a large per cent. of cases it makes a permanent cure. Pe-ru-na soothes the infiamed mucus surface and thus strikes at the root of the disease In cases where the inflammation has been so severe and continued as to produce extreme irritability of the stomach, the remedy may be taken in small doses at first. diluted in water; but as soon as the improve ment is sufficient to permit the full dose to be taken undiluted, it IS the better way. and the cure is much more rapid. Pe-ru-na is also a spring medicine which at once re- moves the cause of all affections pe- culiar to the spring season by puri- flying the blood of all communications, and invigorating the whole system.
 Two valuable books, No. 2 setting forth in detail the treatment of catarrh, coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis and consumption. in ey- cry phase of these diseases, and No. 3 on spring remedies and diseases, will be sent free to any address by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company of Columbus, Ohio.

Under the genial and health giv- ing climate of our state, and in the face of almost every species of po- litical obstacle, there has grown up in Arkansas religious and social condition not inferior to that of any state in the Union.
 RELIGION.
 We have in Arkansas some $500 churches, or one to every 322 inhabi- tants, over one-half of which have been erected within the past ten years.
 Ten years ago the NJ. E. church, had about 525 churches, valued at ssearly $300000, and ninety-six par sonages valued at S45,000 Now they have l ,033 churches and l95 parson- ages, valued in the aggregate at about 1,000,000; and during the same decade they have erected edu- cational buildings valued at about $200,000.
 The colored Methodists have 173 churches and 27,926 members. Their church property is valued at $233,- 425.
 The Baptist denomination is con ceded to be the largest in the state, having $l,772 churches and 99,490 members.
 The colored Baptists have 55S churches and 37 ,405 members, but l have no other statistics concerning them.
 We have in all twenty-nine denom- nations.
 EDUCATION.
 Our educational advancement within the past ten years has been at an almost unparalleled pace. The school enrolment of our youth has increasee at a rate of percentage from two to fifty times as great as that of any state admitted into the Union at the time of or prior to our own admission.
 We have 5000 school houses. or one to every 375 inhabitants, l,547 of which have been erected within the past ten years.
 We have one college or seminary for every 22,000 inhabitants, over two-thirds of which have been erect ed within the past decade.
 A State University and three nor nal schools afford free education of a higher order Two fifths of our state tax and half of our county taxes support our public schools, We have in the negro districts bout 900 separate schools for the colored people Several of their school houses cost from $l0,000 to s20,000 each.
