THE PRESIDENTS PLANS.
Coming Political Events Cast Their
Shadows Before.

There is a great amount of interest
being manifested, not alone among
the favored political few at Washing
ton City, but throughout the entire
nation over the probable or prospect
i've plans of the new administration
for the formation of working forces
in legislative affairs and the organiza-
tion of its plan of governmental CAM
paign. These plans are said to be rap
idly maturing, and in some instances
where already matured, certain priv
ileged few are permitted a glance at
the inner workings of same. In this
connection it may be announced on
excellent authority that Congressman
Wilson, of West Virginia, viii be made
Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, to lead the tariff fight and
be assisted on the floor by McMillin.
whose readiness as a debator makes
him valuable there.
Dockery or Sayers will be chairman
man of the Appropriation Committee,
with the duty of holding down the
appropriations.
Cabinet members will urge the
President to recommend an income
tax in his message; also the repeal of
the 10 per cent. bank circulation tax
by the same bill that attempts to re-
peal the Sherman silver law. 1t is
hoped by those plans to bring about
compromise on the currency question,
and tariff reduction with an income
tax to take the place of the losses by
the reduction of the tariff.
Dockery, Wilson, and other men,
bers of the House are in Washington,
and will have a consultation ON the de-
tails of the plan. 1t seems at present
there will be no opposition to Crisp
for reelection. 1t is understood that
Springer whose Ways and Means
Craftsmanship will be transferred to
Wilson, will be made chairman Of an
other important committee.
Other important administrative
measures have been adopted, but are
being preserved, for evident reasons,
in strict secrecy for the present.

woMAN's DAY AT THE FAIR.
Seventy Different Meetings in Pro-
gress at One Time.

Yesterday was "Woman's Day" at
the Worlds fair. All of the sub-di-
visions Of the Woman's Congress was
in session simultaneously. Only think
of it: seventy separate and distinct
meetings of these fair progressionists
in session at one and the same time in
the Art Palace on the Worlds fair
grounds. The various halls and even
the corridors of the big structure were
crowded with the fair sex. Topics
ranging from dress reform to evolu-
ton were under discussion, and each
hall had its quota of devotees, partic-
ularly those devoted to the Interna-
tional Young Woman's Christian AS
sociation and the Order of the Eastern
Star. To secure seats many reached
the halls while their less enterprising
sisters were at breakfast.
Mrs. May Wright Sewell presided
over the department of the congress
on dress reform, and it was here that
expectation was on tiptoe. Lucy
Stone, the pioneer reformer; Frances
M. Steele, Annie Jenness Miller, the
apostle Of the modern movement;
Octavia Bates and Frances W. Letter
were announced as speakers, and the
large audience, eager to inspect the
divided skirt in actual service gath
cred IN the hall. A ripple of excite
ment passed over the audience when
Mrs. Sewell advanced ON the stage.
She wore dress reform costume, the
noticeable reform being short skirts.
During the morning Mrs. Sewell was
seen fitting about the corridors, great
ly to the admiration of the spectators,
but she attracted the most attention
when she advanced to the stage in Co.
lumbus hall and took the stand beside
Charlotte Emerson Brown She wore
closely fitting dark blue dress with
full skirts, about 18 inches from the
ground. A number Of others wore
similar costumes.
The climax of the day was a recep-
ton in honor of the delegates to the
congress by the board Of lady mana
gers of the Worlds fair, at the Hin
ois club house on Ashland avenue. 1t
was beyond doubt the most notable
social function that has thus far
marked the Worlds fair season.

A FLATTERING TRIBUTE.

With all due respect for those hon
ored gentlemen who have at different
times represented the people Of Ar
kansas as their chief executive, we are
in all candor compelled to acknowl-
edge that at no time in The past, quar-
ter of a century, until now, have the
eyes of the people of the entire coun-
try been drawn in so favorable and
aattering a manner TO our State and
her institutions through the individ-
ual and practically unaided efforts Of
any one man, however high in author
lty as under the brief administration
of our present able, excellent and pro-
gressive Governor, w. M. Fish back.
If any evidence in substantiation Of
this fact, other than our own observa-
tion, is required, the same may be
found in the following tribute to this
most deserving official, from one Of
the most ably edited newspapers in
Missouri, the Springfield Democrat,
which says:
"The man who keeps his eye on
Governor Fishback Of Arkansas will
not be looking in the wrong direction
for growing politician who has the
attributes Of a statesman. Governor
Fishback is thoroughly u Democrat,
and that means that he is giving Ark
ansas an administration that is ag-
ressive and clean. Being thorough
Democrat he lost no time in breaking
long standing cliques that preyed up
OH public funds and confidence.
lie brought about reforms, not
merely for selfish political aims, but
for the good of a-great State and it's
people. lie modernized the better
walks of public and official life. lie
is turning general attention to the
boundless resources and promises Of
Arkansas. He is reformer with no
buncombe clinging to the word.
Among the good things that he was
foremost in pushing forward was the
abolition Of the convict lease infamy
The act passed by the legislature abol-
ishing that system went into effect on
Monday. The Arkansas Industrial
company, late lessees, turned over 760
convicts to the state superintendent Of
penitentiary.
Daily Texarkana Democrat., 1893-05-18

strong of Cincinnati, Ohio, had been
duly appointed to succeed Col. Roots
as such receiver. Mr.. Armstrong has
record as a receiver of national
banks of which any man may be
proud. He is the gentleman who was
appointed under the former admins
tration to look after the affairs of the
Fidelity bank, of Cincinnati, Ohio, of
which Harper, noted president, was
manager. Mr.. Armstrong succeeded
in placing the responsibility where it
belonged, and Harper and his allies in
the penitentiary for number of years.
The comptroller of the currency ex-
pressed the hope that Mr.. Armstrong
would be equally as successful in the
management of the First Nationals
affairs, and to make record exceed
ing, if possible, that which he made in
the management Of the Fidelity's af-
fairs. The comptroller also stated
that in the appointment of Mr.. Arm
strong he ignored altogether the pull
which Mr.. Roots had brought to bear
upon him to retain him as receiver,
and in appointing Mr.. Armstrong he
only desired to have man in charge
of the affairs Of the bank who is en-
tirely disconnected with the factional
fights which have arisen in the banks
affairs. He stated also that q great
many names of prominent persons
had been submitted to him by the
representatives in Congress from Ar
kansas in connection with the receiv-
ership, but in view Of the fact of the
many complications arising from the
disturbed condition of the banks af-
fairs, he felt it incumbent, as a repre-
sentative of the government, charged
with the duty of looking after the
stockholders, creditors and debtors, to
go outside of the state and select
man who had no connection whatever
with any of the parties interested in
the settlement Of the First National
bank.

Bright Star Letter.

Mr., EDITOR; Perhaps an occasional
small batch of news items, from Bright
Star appearing in the DEMOCRAT
might be of interest to some and cas-
lily passed over by others.
Our people are hailing with delight
the bright sunshine and fair promise
of better weather.
The farmers were well up with their
work three weeks ago, but the exces-
sive rains have set them back consid-
erably.
The proverbial SUNDAY rain" is
making Sabbath school at Enon church
and Sunday evening prayer meeting
at Olive Branch almost impracticable
Though the weather was threaten
ing last Sunday morning, Rev. w. B.
Simmons preached very interesting
sermon at Enon, to crowded house.
Mrs. F. Fl. Eubanks was returning
from Arkadelphia, where she had been
under treatment of the general spec
ialist," DR.. Dale, much improved, but
was taken worse about the time she
reached Atlanta, and was not able to
come out home yesterday, as she ex-
pected.
Mrs. f. P. Bennett, of Texarkana,
is spending the week in Bright Star,
with her relatives and friends. She
expects to return Saturday.
Our young friend, Geo. Guthrie,
who cut his foot so painfully on the
9th inst, was able to call ON his girl
Sunday.

ARKANSAS TO THE FRONT.

That the eyes Of the speculator, the
promoter and the capitalists of the
entire country are turned, to-day, to-
ward Arkansas as great field for
improvement, investment and devel-
opment becomes more apparent daily
Nor does this apply to any particular
point or part of the State, but to ev-
cry part thereof Indeed so great
and varied are the undeveloped re-
sources of this rich Southern field,
that each division and subdivision
thereof possesses its own peculiar
advantages and attractions to the pro-
gressive capitalists and adventurous
speculator. In one portion of the same
agriculture constitutes the chief re-
source, timber in another and yet
another boasts of inexhaustible min
eral treasures. 1t can be little mar
yelled at, then, that the possession of
all three of these great natural advan-
tages, combining the principal re-
sources of the most favored lands for
the accumulation Of wealth, IN our
own right, has had the effect Of draw
ing the eyes of the moneyed men Of
other States to our particular portion
of the State. Within the past few
months several parties of prominent
prospectors have made q personal in-
spection Of our resources, and view
ed for themselves, our boasted nat
ural advantages. The result of this
inspection may be seen in the rapid
progress which is being made on the
work Of constructing new and i'm
portant railway line through the very
heart of this territory, between Tex
arkana and Fort Smith. Nor is this
the only portion of the rich field
which is attracting attention, as, may
be seen from the following article
from Newport Ark. which appeared
in yesterdays Issue of the Arkansas
Gazette;
The Gazette correspondent had a
pleasant chat last evening and this
morning with Hon. l.. N. Humphrey,
EXC overnor Of Kansas, and Hon. H..
b. Kelley, State Senator. Of Lawrence,
Kan, and special correspondent of the
Kansas City Times. The distinguish
ed gentlemen arrived here Sunday
morning, en-route to Yellville, Marion
county, where Senator Kelley's son
has been prospecting for lead aud zinc
for five weeks. "My son writes me-"
saio Senator Kelley, "that North Ar
kansas offers better opportunities for
the profitable investment of capital
than Colorado or any other North
western State"
Gov. Humphrey assured your cor
respondent that the Kansas people
have their eye on Arkansas, and he
would not be at all surprised to see
a big movement of capital from that
State to this. lie was surprised TO
find at Topeka en-route here the
