THE STATE coNvICTs.

In recent issue Of the DEMOCRAT
we published a statement Of the offer
made by a wealthy syndicate Of an
other state for the use end labor of
Arkansas State prisoners. This offer,
which at first appeared so favorable,
loses much Of its liberal and fattering
aspects upon closer examination. That
such is the opinion Of the gentlemen
composing the State board Of peniten-
tiary commissioners is evidenced by
the following account Of recent
meeting Of that body, in which the
Governor, Attorney-General and Sec
retary of State held long and earnest
session at the State capitol to consider
the proposition above spoken of from
the Mason & Ford Company, OF
Frankfort, Ky. AT this meeting an
adjournment was finally taken with

The Bolsterous Atlantic

Is terror to timid voyagers, scarcely
less on account Of the perils Of the
deep than the almost certainty Of sea
sickness. The best curative of nal de
mer is Hostctter's Stomach Bitters
which settles the stomach at once and
prevents its disturbance. TO all trav-
elers and tourists, whether by sea OF
land, it presents happy medium be-
tween the nauseous or Intellectual re-
sources of the medicine chest, and the
problematical benefit derivablc from
an unmedicated alcoholic stimulant
no matter how pure. The jarring OF
a railroad car often produces stomach
disorders akin to that caused by the
rolling Of ship. For this the Bitters
is a prompt and certain remedy. The
use of a brackish water, particularly
on long voyages in the tropics, inevi-
tably breeds disorders Of the stomach
and bowels. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters mixed with impure water null
lifes its impurities. Similarly 1t coun.
teracts malarial and other prejudicial
influences of climate or atmosphere
as well as the effects of exposure and
fatigue. Use it for kidney complaints
rheumatism and debility.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

TEXARKANA ARKANSAS TUESDAY EVENING" MAY 1893

out arriving at a decision. The COM
pany proposed to take all the State
convicts and pay the State 100000
this year and $4,000 additional for
each year they are to keep them. The
state is to retain absolute control and
is to clothe, feed, guard and dicipline
the convicts. 1t is intended to use the
labor in developing coal mines and
building railroads. 1t is believed that
the proposition will be accepted. Sec
retary of State Armistead is opposed
to the scheme.
1t is to be hoped that the Board of
Control will weigh carefully all points
in the case before accepting PROPOSE
ton, which instead of aflording the
State bonus upon her convicts,
win deprive her of their labor in be-
half of another without compensation
sufficient to provide for their actual
maintenance. Thus that which has
heretofore been a source of revenue
to the state will become an additional
burden. If the convicts are to be a
charge upon the state at all, let them
remain entirely in the hands of her
trusted officials, insuring to those un-
fortunates the best treatment posi-
BILE, consistent with the deplorable
condition in which their own acts
have placed them.

WORLDS FAIR OPENED.
President Cleveland Sets the Wheels
of the Great Machine in Motion.

President Cleveland Sets the Wheels
of the Great Machine in Motion.
The greatest event of modern ages
was ushered into active existence yes
terday, by the chief magistrate of the
nation, who, upon a given signal,
pressed the tiny sphere which set into
motion the gigantic mass of machin-
cry, released the volumes of imprison-
ed waters, converting them into rush
ing currents and gave life and motion
to countless mechanical contrivances
of the worlds famous Columbian Ex-
position. The marvellous effect of this
almost magical waking into life of this
ponderous mass of inert mechanism,
upon the wondering minds of the
multitude can scarcely be conceived.
For moment it seemed to them as if
the hand of all powerful science had
lifted the veil from the darkly curtain
ed mysteries of the past, unfolding to
their startled vision some gigantic
achievement of forgotten ages. But
the sight of President Cleveland's
substantial figure holding in his hand
the tiny golden key, in no wise re-
sembling the magical wand of en-
chantment, soon had the effect of re-
storing to the immense mass of spec
tators their wonted equilibrium. Con-
cerning the great event the following
telegraphic account has been sent out
from the exposition city:
To the two hundred or more thous-
ands of visitors it was known in q
vague way that the President was to
press a gold key and that the electric
communication with the machinery
was to start the fair, but no one real
lied how intricate was this ma.
chinery, how infinite the ramifcations
of that electric spark, until the great
fountains threw up their geysers seven
ty feet into the air and the rumble and
hum of wheels in the Manufacturers
Building and the clatter of machinery
in all parts Of the area of mile square
or more, told the story of the final
consummation of scientific thought
The lifeless started into being on
every hand, draped statuary shed its
veil and revealed TO the world the
artistic labors Of the past eighteen
months and in moment all that had
been apathy and inert and inactive
through the long hours Of the morn
ing sprang into animated existence
and thrilled the multitude and crown
ed the triumph of the Exposition. In
previous Ell sitlons the possibilities
of electricity had been limited to the
mere starting of the engines in Ma
chinery Hall, but in this it made a
thousand servants do its bidding, and
from the great Corliss engine and the
mammoth fountains down to the
minutest acts where power and touch
were requisite, the magic of electricity
did the duty Of the hour.

ADAM, EVE AND THE APPLE.
The Story Figuratively Told, But
Who Can Interpret it.

Who Can Interpret it.
We are prompted to offer a years
subscription to the DEMOCRAT, to any
girl or boy, under 16 years of age,
who shall be the first to send us q
literal Interpretation, in which words
shall be substituted for figures, in the
following interesting problem:
How many apples did Adam and
Eve eat? Some say Eve 8 and Adam
"a total of 10 only. Now we figure
the thing out far differently. Eve s
and Adam also-total 16
And yet the above figures are en-
tirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam so
certainly the total would be 80
Scientific men, however, on the
strength of the theory that the
antediluvians were race of giants
reason something like this: Eve 81
and Adam 82-total 163
Wrong again; what could de clearer
than, if Eve 81 and Adam 812, the
total was 1913?
If Eve S11st and Adam Sl2, would
not the Total be 1922
/ believe the following to be fail
solution: Eve 814 Adam, Adam 8124
Eve-total 1898.
Still another calculation is as follows
If Eve 814 Adam, Adam 812 obligt
Eve--total 82,056. We think this
however, not sufficiently quantity
For though we admit that Eve 814
Adam, Adam If he SOS1242 keep Eve
company-total S,OS2,056.
All wrong. Eve, when she $751;
many, and probably she felt sorry fol
it, but her companion, in order to re
lieve her grief 812. Therefore, wher

spirits. Hence, both ate 81,S96,86l

Welcome Visitors.

Much interest is felt in the ap-
preaching visit of the Kansas City
capitalists, whose arrival in this city
tomorrow is confidently expected.
The visit of these gentlemen will, in
all probability, prove of more than
passing interest and Importance to
our city, as the main object Of their
trip is to view the possessions Of their
company at this point and carry for
ward the Investigations already begun
in this locality, with view to carry
ing forward on more extended scale
their company's investments in local
improvements. The result of their in
vestigations here cannot be overesti-
mated in its Importance to the future
development of our city. We would
therefore suggest that no efforts be
spared by our people in facilitating
the object Of this visit, and present
ing in their most favorable light the
numerous advantages and excellent
resources, which, may, without boast,
be claimed for Texarkana and her
surrounding country. To attract the
favorable attention Of these represent
atives of branch Of the most pro-
gressive improvement company in
the West, would mean much to Tex
arkana, both in her present develop
ment and future progress.
