direct connection with Red river,
which guarantees to every local enter

jobbing center and important manu-
featuring point, is fully assured. We

prosperity is ne longer dream, but

AT HOME.
What Governor Fishback Thinks of
the Southern Governors
Convention,

Gov. Fishback returned yesterday
on the early morning Iron Mountain
train from his trip to Virginia, and re
sumed his duties at the chief execu
tive office. Acting Gov. Sloan lefI
for Powhatan in the afternoon, aftel
nearly two weeks in the office of chiet
magistrate of the state. He made &
very favorable impression on the peo
pie with whom he came in contact
and performed the duties of the office
in an eminently satisfactory manner.
Gov. Flshback was all aglow with
enthusiasm over the work of the
Southern Governors Convention, and
said he was treated in royal fashion at
his old home, and only got away by
promising to return if possible before
going to Norfolk.
In speaking of the results of the
convention, he said:
"The convention was an eminently
business body. 1t addressed itself ex-
clusively to the work for which it was
called and excluded every other mat
ter, of which there was an abundance
on hand ready to be thrust upon it.
"Each Governor, in accordance with
my resolution, which was adopted
unanimously, will, on or before the
1st of June, prepare paper upon the
religious, social, educational and ply
sical condition of his State, and when
prepared, all will be published in a
pamphlet, to be distributed at Chica-
90. AS each State will aid in adver-
tislng all the others, each Governor
pledged his State for $500 of the ex-
pense of publishing.
"The address, which was published
while in Richmond, was written by
Gov. Stone, of Missouri, and is an ad-
mirable document.
"The address to President Cleveland
was endorsed by most Of the Govern
ors, but it was feared by two of them
that it might be misunderstood, so |
withdrew it.
"All went away believing great
good will come Of the matter, and al
ready / have begun to receive applica-
tions for the pamphlet when pub
lished."

CHIEF JUSTICE COCKRILL RE-
SIGNS.

Chief Justice of the Arkansas Su-
preme court, S. r. Cockrill, has sent
in his resignation to Gov. W. M. Fish
back, the same to take effect May 1st
next
Gov. Fishback has appointed Judge
James w. Butler, OF Batesville, Judge
of the Third judicial circuit, to
serve, until his successor shall be
elected and qualified. Judge U. M.
Rose, in speaking of his appointment,
said it was a most excellent one. He
is a native Of Nashville, Tenn, where
he was educated. Judge Buffers
modesty is such that he has never sub
mitted an authenlc biography of him
self for publication, but it is known
| that he was a member of the constitu-
tional convention of 1874 from Inde-
pendence county, and was elected
Judge of the Third judicial circuit,
composed of Jackson, Lawrence,
Stone, Randolph, Independence and
Sharp counties, in May, 1887, to which
position he was reelected in 1890
having eighteen months yet to serve.
A friend Of Judge Cockrill says Of
his resignation: 81 am not surprised

A Good Report.

The report from the party of dis
tinguished experts on navigation and
naAigable waters, who sounded tho
depths Of Sulphur's classic waters,
from Capt Draughon's steam launch,
on yesterday, indicates clearly that the
bottom has dropped out Of that
famous stream. Soundings Of % feet
in depth, taken at regular or irregular
intervals, failed to even break the
crust OH the highest sand bar. This
leaves little doubt on the subject Of
Sulphur navigation. But gives rise
to the vexed question as to whether

indeed TO be the deep water harbor Of

Full of Peril

Are those disorders which, beginning
with an apparently trivial inactivity Of
the kidneys or bladder, terminates in
Brights disease, diabiabetes and
cyslitis. The first two not only in
terrupt the functions of the renal
organs, but destroy their structure
with as much certainty as tubercular
consumption does that of the lungs.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is an ex-
ccllcnt diruetic, promoting the aictv-
ity of these organs without over ex-
citing them, thus averting the deadly
maladies in which their inaction is SO
prone to cultivate. The removal from
the blood Of impurities which the
kidneys should, but do not, when in
active, secrete is another beneficient
effect Of this Incompatible medicated
stimulant and depurent. The Bitters
is, in all cases, too, a fine restorative
of vigor and aid to digestion, rem
edies malarial disease and banishes
liver complaint and constipation.

PROGRESSIVE ARKANSAS.

The selection of Gov. Fishback as
chairman of the convention Of South
ern Governors was graceful compli-
ment to the man and the State he rep
resented. Ii is in some measures an in
dex to the fact that no State has made
greater proportional progress of late
than has Arkansas. 1t was her Gov
ernor who suggested the meeting re-
Gently held at Richmond, Va, and it
is but proper to state that he was,
during the war, a Union Democrat. II
is Arkansas that gets the chairman
ship of the convention. All Of this
goes to show that the State is in line
with the best thought of the country,
that she has turned her back upon the
passions of the past, and that she
stands prepared to greet the demands
of the hour. We who live SO near her
know full well the splendid resources
Of the State, and the industry and en-
lightenment Of her people. Just the
other day we received pamphlet
from the superintendent of public in
struction of the State, and in that pub
lication we find the most comprehen-
sive evidence of the good work that
Arkansas is doing in the way not only
of public school education, but also Of
the higher kind Of education. The
wonderful part about all this is
that the burden of education falls ex-
clusively on the white people Of the
State. Arkansas has very large ne
gro population, and the whites have
to provide for the education of the
negro race as well as the education Of
their own children. OF course, the
school term does not last as long as
could be wished, but the people are
doing The best they can, and without
any kind of murmuring they have de-
voted themselves to the task Of giving
all the children Of the State q common
school education. The last census
shows that the colored school en-
rollment in Arkansas is the same
as the white enrolment in the
public school Of the State
of New Hampshire, or about $4,000
pupils. If we refer to the statistics OF
population we will find, however, that
the whites of New Hampshire number
10000, while the negroes Of ArlSan-
sas number only $4,000. Thus the
percentage of negro population in the
schools of Arkansas is greater than
the percentage of white population in
the state of New Hampshire; and
these negro children are being edu-
Gated by the whites, who have also to
pay for the education Of their own
children. In the face Of such facts we
do not see how the people Of the
North can have the assurance to crit
lcise the people of this section as not
doing their duty in the way Of educa-
tion. There is splendid future in
store for the people Of Arkansas, and
in spite of the Interpretations to
which they, in common with the peo-
pie Of the South generally have been
oubjected, they will rise superior to
the crusade of hate waged against
them, and has, in the parlance OF
Montgomery Park, come under the
string Of winner.-Appeal-Ava-
