The Batesvile Guard thus scores
Arkansas recalcirant Congressman:
ut has required more hard work on
the part of the Arkansas Democracy
to keep Major Breckenridge in Con-
gress than any other Representative
in Congress 1t has ever had. BY in.
attention and such votes as he cast on
the silver question, directly antagonis
tic to the sentiments OF his constitu-
ents, he permitted Democratic mai,
GRITTY of 5000 or more IN the original
old Second district to dwindIe away to
almost nothing, while other members
Of Congress have constantly strenth-
ened theirs, The criticism of his
action on the silver question is just
now very sharp and severe, and unless
it shall be moderated in some respect,
Major Breckenridge may have unusu-
al difficulty IN retaining his seat in
the House.

Along with the depression have come
lessons which the nation and indi-
viduals needed to learn, and, being
well learned, these lessons will serve
as substantial props upon which to
lean in this new year, and the seduc-
tive influences Of the past will have
lost their power and need be feared
no longer.
The change of the final figure,
slight in itself, may mean much or
little to communities and individu-
ais. Let us hope that to this village,
to this town, to this state, and
to this nation it means renewed
prosperity-an increase of vlgor
along all the lines which lead
to better condition Of things--a re-
storation of public confidence and
general welfare; that 1894 may be

SOME NE w STATES.

If present indications are not inter-
fered with when the matter gets be-
fore the upper branch OF congress, at
least three new stars will have to be
added to the blue corner OF the
national flag. The house has already
decided to admit Utah and Arizona
to the sisterhood of states, and New
Mexico is knocking loudly, with fair
prospects of securing an entrance.
The spectre ofpolygamy was bone
of contention in the case OF Utah,
and very properly So but an amend
ment offered by Congressman Pow
ers of Vermont, prohibiting that
somewhat irregular matrimonial in
diligence, was attached to the Utah
bill by good majority, and this i'm
portant feature beilg attended to, it
was thought safe to open the door
and let Utah in. This territory has
occupied conspicuous place in the
nations history for some years past,
and many a foul crime can be traced
to the fanaticism of her Mormon de-
voices. Under the circumstances, 1t
is question whether Utah can wise
Nv be admitted to the union of states
until her local government is beyond
Mormon control and vested in those
who. like citizens of other states, are
Ioyal to every institution OF the re-
public.
AS to Arizona, that territory seems
not specially entitled to admission.
1t was divorced from New Mexico in
1868, and has been very slow in de-
veloping, its population by the last
census being only 5000, and one
fifth of these are represented to be OF
low order of intelligence and by no
means a desirable class OF citizens.
Arizona is rich in mineral resources,
and some portions of its area are ex-
tremely fertile; but the inaccesslbility
of much of the territory and the dlttl-
culties and dangers attendant upon
it's development and cultivation have
seriously interfered with its progress
towards that condition which would
warrant it's reception as a state
New Mexico seems no more entitled
to admission than Arizona, and con
gress can afford to make haste slow
ly in deciding favorably upon the
claims of these territories tor ful
recognition as states. Certainly nc
desire to make party capital shoulc
enter unduly into the settlement OF sc
important a matter as this.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

The state board of agriculture have
arranged for about forty farmers
institutes this winter, three OF which
have recently been held in this viclni-
ty. Secretary Winslow has put lots
of work into the preliminary details
for these gatherings, and wherever
they have been held they have been
largely attended and full of practical
discussions. Many of the farmers do
not realize that the state experiment
station at Burlington is primarily for
the promotion of the agricultural
interests of Vermont, and that the
facilities and faculty of the station
are always at the service OF the
farmer.

SNEERING AT REFORM.

A New York correspondent OF the
Boston Transcript sneers at the
efforts OF Rev. DR.. Parkhurst and his
associates to suppress evil in that
city, referring to the movement as
"spasm OF virtue.
1t is to be regretted that any news
paper correspondent should deride or
belittle well meant attempts at re-
form, even though the accomplish
ment of that reform seem to be a
hopeless task. However opinions
may differ as to some of Dr. Park
bursts methods in his hunt after
evil and those who connive at it, the
ultimate object in view, the roofing
out of the worst forms of crime,
should be encouraged in fullest meas
ure. There is nothing spasmodic
about the vice which makes itself so
evident in New York and other large
cities and towns-it is rather, con-
tinuous and deepening; but if these
"spasms of virtue" to which the cor
respondent refers are frequent enough,
they will not fail altogether in their
mission. Those who are fighting
crime in the metropolis have no easy
task, and it i'll becomes public jour
nails to make that task harder.

AFFAIRS IN HA WAIf.

The Hawaiian question does not
not grow less complicated. On the
contrary the muddle thickens, and
looking out upon the matter from
present standpoints, it is not easy
to figure upon a speedy and harmo-
NOUS settlement. President Cleve-
lands message brought out a vigor-
Gus rejoinder from ex-Minister Ste
vens, especially as touching that
part of the message which referred
to Mr.. Stevens annexation ardor
and his prejudices in that direction,
leading to undue haste and preclpi-
fancy" in his espousa of the anti
monarchy cause. Mr. Stevens takes
square issue with the president
and fatty denies the latter's state
ments as to the ex-ministers connec-
ton with the overthrow of monar-
chy. Evidently somebody is telling
the public a great many things that
are not so, in the discussion Of this
question. Demagogery should not
be tolerated, on either side. Facts
and only facts, are what the people
want, and the maintenance of a
strictly American policy. 1t bids
fair to be lively and protracted
battle, but the bottom facts are
likely to be brought into plain sight
before congress is done with the
matter. Meantime the provisional
government is strengthening Itself
and preparing to resist by force o.
arms any unjust Entertainments by
the friends of the deposed queen.

Brazil's revolutionary troubles do
not diminish, and there are indica-
tions of long struggle yet between
the forces of Mello and those of
President Peixoto. At last accounts
the cause of the insurgents was not
over-prosperous; but the fortunes of
war are uncertain, and now it is
Peixoto's victory and now Mello's.
The Gama's open advocacy of a re-
storation of the empire is reacting
against the insurgents. Peixoto's
faith in the supremacy Of the republic
continues firm, and he is backing up
his faith by some energetic work in
assailing the insurgent strongholds.
