Jasper Tong Buried.

The remains Of Jasper Tong, son of
Rev. E. w. Tong, were brought to
this city yesterday afternoon from the
home of his brother in Little River
county, and buried by lie side of his
mother, in The Wooten Cemetery
three miles north from this city.
The deceased was 2S years old and
was reared from infancy in Miller
county. He came to his death while
ON a hunting expedition Ot his bro
TIERS home in Little River county.
While out hunting on the 8th inst, he
was shot through the arm by the ac-
cidental discharge of his own gun, in
the hands of companion, by the
name of Martin. The unfortunate
young man removed to his brothers
home, where every attention Wag Civ
en- him up to the hour Of his death, on
the 18th instant, ten days after the ac-
cident. The friends Of deceased, who
for years was known as a young man
about town, will deeply sympathise
with his aged and grief-stricken fa-
ther, who accompanied the remains
of his son on their last earthly jour
ney and sadly committed all that was
of his poor boy to mother
earth, to sleep in peace by the side of
his departed mother

NOT OUR FAULT ALONE.

The following timely and sensible
remarks are so applicable to this, as
to other provincial or local papers,
that we are prompted to reproduce
them: We regard the ladies as our
best friends, in newspaper sense,
and we are, therefore, always anxious
to please and interest them by gather
ing all the personal items possible.
Sometimes many are missed. People
come and 60 and we are entirely ig-
norant of it, Then those people and
their friends observation-disclosures al
ways--feel hurt; say they have been
ignored for some reason and think the
editor has a spite against them. Now
this editor has his hands as full Of bus
mess as did Matthew when he sat at
the receipt of custom. He has no time
to meet trains or stand on street cor
ners and watch for strange faces lie
gets his information largely from
friends who are kind enough to tell
him about these things. When you
have visitors, or some of the family
goes of, or some Of your relatives or
friends die or get married, do not fail
to notify the DEMOCRAT. We will
be thankful tor the information
and appreciate it. Some folks are too
bashful to mention to the editor that
they have visitors or are going away
themselves, but they are not too bash
full to abuse him behind his back if
they are not duly mentioned, whether
he ever heard of 1t or not being con-
sidered as any excuse, Now, we are
neither prophet, the son of n proph-
eft nor the seventh son of Il seventh
daughter; we can't know everything
nor be in half Il dozen places at one
and the same time. You understand
now. Hereafter, if you feel sighted,
blame yourself
The above is a simple statement of
existing facts and if accepted as such
will correct many common errors and
soothe great many ruflled tempers'
One of the errors common to 80 many
people is that the conduct ofa news
paper is largely a matter Of sentiment,

RAILROAD BUILDING.
The Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf
Comes South to Meet the Tey.-
arkana & Fort Smith.

so much attention has been given
recently to the progress of the work
OF construction on the Southern, or
Texarkana & Fort Smith, division of
the great Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf railway enterprise, that little no.
tlce or importance has attached to the
equally important branch of the work,
which is being pushed Southwark,
from the Northern terminus, at Kan
sas City, Mo. That the work on the
Northern end of the line has not been
permitted to lag may be seen from
the following article, reproduced from
the Locomotive Herald, of Sloan
Springs, Ark, which details the work
of constitution as far South as that
city:
Track-laying between Sulphur
Springs and Sloan Springs is actual
ly in progress and the railroad is at
least six miles nearer us today than
when our last paper was printed. We
have it from reliable authority that
the track will be laid to Spavina by
tomorrow night The great bridge
for that place is ready. The work on
the temporary bridge just beyond
Decatur was nearly done Tuesday.
The pile driver is pounding away at
Flint creek and the stone masons are
rushing work on the abutments and
piers for the bridge. The managers
decided to put in a shorter bridge
above Hico and have men and teams
at work adding fifty feet to the grade
Mr.. Orr, who was in town when we
went to press last week, remained a
day or two and with him our railroad
committee settled everything pertain
ing to the depot grounds. Instead of
twenty acres as was originally provid-
ed for the railroad gets six acres and |
the committee settled with the own-
ers Friday and had the deeds made.
We now known for a certainty that
the matter is settled and the depot |
will be located near B. r. Mortis'
green residence, known to old time
residents as the Murry residence.
The officials stated that the cars would |
be here on the 18th of December and |
that this would be the terminus of
the road for seven or eight months.
This is the kind of news we like to
print and our goose is flying higher |
and higher.

FREE COINAGE FIGHT.
To Be Renewed With Great Vigor at
the Approaching Regular
Session.


The indications now are that the
fight for the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver, which resulted SO disas-
trously in the last congress, will, new
ertheless, be renewed with increased
yigor and redoubled determinations,
at the opening Of the regular session
next month
The men who waged such stubborn
warfare tor silver in the house during
the extra session appear to have gath
cred confidence by the events which
have followed the repeal Of the silver
purchase act, and an organization Of
their forces is boiug perfected. For
the past two or three weeks the silver
men have been singularly quiet, The
reason for this now becomes apparent.
The silver men were waiting for a suf-
fcient period to elapse after the repeal
of the Sherman act in order to demon
strate to the people that the silverpur-
chase law was not The cause Of the great
financial depression and that its repeal
would notproye apanacea forall ofthe
commercial and financial ills to which
the country has been heir. They think
the demonstration Of this fact isappar-
ent to the American people now. SO the
silver men are preparing to say to the
two houses Of congress next month, the
legislation demanded by the admins
tration has been failure in restoring
commercial prosperity, that the position
of the silyermen in urging free coinage
al the last session has been yindicated,
and now the Democratic party in con-
gress should devote itselfto redeeming
the remaining pledges of the last DEM
ocratic national convention on the sub
ject of silver aud financial legislation.
With this object in view Chairman
Bland, of the committee on weights
and coinage, is preparing a bill which
he, as leader of the free coinage men,
will introduce at the opening of the
next session. II is further declared
by Mr. Bland to be his intention to
afford noloophoIe Of escape for those
Democratic congressman who talked
for free coinage to their constituents
at home but voted against it on plaus-
ible pretexts when the matter came
up for consideration In the last House.
The measure which Chairman Bland
win introduce at the opening of the
session is substantially re-enactment
Of the law Of January 18, 1887. 1t is
the belief of the silver men that the
bill re-onacting the law will command
greater strength and afford less OPP
portunity for evasion than any other
measure which can possibly be pre-
sented.

Relief In Death.

William Parish, late financial agent
for the Texas Penitentiary, under ar
rest for the murder of Young M,
Langdon, his business associate, at
Dallas, Texas, carried his case to the
court of final resort, on Monday, the
Goth instant, by means of one of the
most determined and desperate sui
cides ever recorded in criminal histo-
ry. The self-inficted murder was
committed by Parish while at dinner
in his cell, on Monday. The weapon,
or weapons, used were fragments of a
broken fruit dish, in which portion
of the prisoners meal had been serv-
ed. Fully a dozen wounds were in
flicted and the suicides body present
ed q spectacle so horrible that even
the most hardened prison officials
could not gaze upon the bloody sight
without shudder
TO the family and many friends of
the deceased who had stood by him
untlinchingly through all his trouble,
his self inflicted death will be sad
blow, as it can only be regarded as a
tacit admission of his guilt and will
be regarded by the general uubic as
tautamount to a confession of his COM
plicity in the crime Of which he was ac-
Cused.

ter than Others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to

1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

MINISTER BLoUNTs REPORT.

The publication by the press of the
country of Minister Blounts private
report to the State Department on the
Hawaiian situation does not seem to
have had the effect of very greatly
disturbing the administrative calmSin
Washington, despite expectations to
the contrary. In fact the report
proves to contain very little not al
ready summarized aud indicated in
the Gresham letter to the President.
Secretary Gresham still declares that
he has nothing to say on the subject
and nothing is to be given out 1t is
intimated that the Blount report was
stolen from the Government printing
Office, where it was put into type Sat
urday night. No confirmation or de-
nial OF the accuracy of the report pub
lished can be had from the Secretary
of States Office beyond the assertion
that Secretary Gresham's letter on the
subject contained the substance.
The Hawaiian Minister, Mr.. Thurs
ton, held a conference with the Secre-
tary of State, Mr.. Gresham, yesterday
morning. 1t was not the intention at
the Hawaiian legation after the arriv-
al of the Australia Saturday to seek
