The Chabot Reception.

A large crowd Of invited guests
assembled at the Chabot residence
at No. 403 Madison street, last
night, to attend the reception of
Mr.. and Mrs. George ChabOt, who
have recently returned from a
bridal tour to the principal cities
of Europe. An excellent string or
chestra was engaged for the Occa-
sion and dancing was enjoyed by
all present. Refreshments and
lunch was partaken of at mid
night. The affair was pronounced
by those present the social event
of the season. About three hun
dred people were present.

A Correct Version.

Mr.. J. r. Vicnier, called at the
LIGHT office this morning, and
stated that the information and
particulars concerning his arrest
was incorrect, in as much as Off
Ger O'Day, made the arrest with
out a warrant, and no charges
were preferred, except that Brooks
claimed Nicnier had his watch.
Mr.. Nicnier says he had borrowed
the watch from Brooks. Mr.. Vic
nier says he had done some bust
ness for Brooks, acting as his
agent in selling a fruit stand.
Mr.. Nicnier says he is entirely in
nocent in so far as having any
thing to do with Brooks trouble
with his wife, and had not seen
Mrs. Brooks for more than a week.
From the statements Of Mr.. Vic
nier, it appears Brooks has accused
him wrongfully, and that the Off
Ger was rather hasty in making
the arrest. Captain Druse, on in
vestigatiOn, at once dismissed Mr..
Vicnier, and gave him letter to
Freight Agent G.. Fahey, that no
charges had been made.
Captain Poor also states that he
has no charge to make against Mr..
Nicnier. Mr.. V. was vice-president
for the association, and had right
to the use of the books.

A POINT OF LAW.
The Cow Trespassed, Eat Paint and
Dled-Who's to BlameP

Dled-Who's to Blamep
A funny incident recently &C.
Cured on Devine street. A paint
er is employed in papering, paint
ing and decorating a house there
and a quantity of pasted trimmings
of paper, paint, cloths, and other
trash of that kind were thrown in
the yard. Several hungry cows,
belonging to a neighbor came into
the yard and eat paper, paint, rags
and all kinds of trash and then
went home. Later the cows be-
came deathly sick and one COW,
said to be worth fifty dollars,
died-the valuable COW, like
the good man, always dies,
first. Next morning the irate lady
owner sought the painter and de-
manded payment for the dead cow,
$50, on which the painter said,
"Madam, your cows come in this
property as tresspassers, they eat
my coat, drink my paints, eat the
trash, that's your business not
mine and if those cows want to
commit suicide its not my fault,
but / want you to pay for what
the COWS destroyed and drank"
Here they diverged and both
threatened to sue the other for
damages in their respective cases.

IN THE REALM OF POLITICS.

Carlisle is turning the rascals out ofthe treasury department
 An extra session of congress is to be called to facilitate revising the tariff.
 MT. Carlisle has declared that he will reinstate no one whom he has dismissed
 The first public debt statement is- sued by Mir Carlisle makes a good showing for that official.
 The matter of enforcing the Chinese exclusion law is giving the treasury department much trouble The republicans of New York are talking of nominating exyice Pres ident Levi F. Morton for governor next year.
 Dinsmore, the populist speaker of the Kansas house of representatives, is hanging around Washington after an appointment.
 Mir Cleveland will make no more Kansas appointments until the fac tion now contending for the patron age reach some agreement.
 The strongest kind of influences are being brought to bear on the President in the matter of the ap- pointment of Public Printer 
 John W. Fosters jobbery in dis bursing the Behring Sea Commis- mission appropriation will likely be subjected to searching inquiry,
 Public office is public trust, and "a full day work for full day s pay" are prominent maxims with the present democratic administra- ton.
 John Scott Harrison, of Kansas City, brother of ex President Har rison. called on President Cleveland the other day asked for an appoint ment-suryeyor of the port of Kan sas City. He is known as q hard working democrat and deserves rec ognitlon.
 Secretary Carlisle is having pre- pared list of the employees of the treasury department with the sala ries they receive and will have it ar ranged by States When completed it will show the number of employees credited to each State, the aggregate salary the people from the State re. cieve and a column showing what hy the law of appointment, the State should receive.
The Russellville Democrat., 1893-04-06

AN exchange notes the fact that every member of MT. Cleveland s Cabinet, with one exception, is 8 Presbyterian, and the exception, Mir. Carlisle, is said to lean toward the Presbyterian church. This faetis said to have been the only one in connee- tion with new cabinet remarked up- on by ex-President Harrison An old politician, quoted by Washing ton correspondent, says there are more Presbyterians in both houses of congress than representa- tives of any other two churches. And he says, further that the gov ernors of more than a dozen states are Prcsbyterians. Can it be that the Presbyterian belief in election has anything to do with this?

Hon. Jordan E. Crayens

Editor DEMocRAr; In my commu- nication published in your paper oi March 22d I stated that I had known Hon. Jordan E. Crayens since 1928 l desire to correct my mis- take. He was born on the 7th of November, 1880, came to Arkansas in the spring of 1881 since which time l have known him, and al though my acquaintance with him is shortened a few years, I believe him none the less qualified and wor- thy to wear the ermine and occupy seat on the supreme bench of the State in filling the vacancy made by the resignation of Judge Hemming- way, and in which opinion hope and believe he will have the endorse ment of the citizens of old Pope and the delegates of the convention when 1t assemblies.

To call the stand taken by MT. Garland with reference to the Lit tie Rock postmastership piece of "ofllcious impertinence" is to char aeterize it by a very mild designa- tion indeed. We heartily endorse an article on this subject written by o. C. Ludwig and published in the Gazette last week. He says:
 It is singular that a man whose ability and influence was used in Arkansas during the early part of 1892 to prevent the State Convention from instructing for Cleveland should now put himself in the atti- tude of soliciting fayors at the hands of the President Since his eleva- ton to the United States Senate, MT. Garland has never taken any part in politics of the state. For ten years he has never been heard to lift his voice in defence of his party, and when he visited the state last fall he objected very vigorously because a local paper announced that he had returned to Arkansas to vote the Democratic National ticket.
 So far as Prof. Mitchell is con cerned, there is no objections in any quarter to his appointment. He has been a conspicuous Democrat for many years, devoting his time and talent to the enuneiation of the prin- ciples of Democracy, and in many instances he has gone out among the people to teach them that the inter ests of the people demand perpetu- ation of of the party founded by Jefferson. From a small printing concern, he has managed the Demo crat Printing Company so success fully that it now takes rank with the best offices in the country, and the Evening Democrat is recognized as a powerful instrument in the ad vancement of the Democratic party Year in and year out Prof Mitchell has labored earnestly for the State and the party, without soliciting or receiving any reward, and it is only proper that now his great ability should be suitably rewarded, espec tally since his business qualitica tions so eminently fit him for the place.

SOME of the populists are having considerable to say about democrat ic and republican senators appoint ing theil relatives to the fat places within their gift In order to vary the monotony we mention the fact that the bewhiskered representative of the Kansas populists, Mir. Pefier, has appointed his daughter as his private secretary at $6 per day, and his son and nephew draw similar sum for alleged services. So it seems that they all do it.

THESE reflections from the Little Rock Democrat, on the folly of over production of cotton, are worthy of most serious consideration.
 The people of the South are not specially interested in building up New York, Chicago, St Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati and other cities-that is they are not interest ed in giving them trade and bus mess which belongs legitimately at home. But we have done a great deal in this line to our own detri- ment, and we are still doing it. We send millions and millions of dollars every year to these cities not only for manufactured products, which we might as we'll make at home, but for articles of food that our own fer tile soil would produce in rich abundance. Millions for meat, oth- CT millions for bread go to the North and yet we wonder why we are poor! The wonder is that we are not all in a state of utter destitution. De- pending on one poor and uncertain crop, and that largely at the mercy of gamblers and manipulators, sell ing but one thing and buying every thing from the North, is it to be wondered at that we are poor? How long shall we go on at this poor dy ing rate? Thank Heaven there is gleam of returning reason. If it Is sad to contemplate the fact that poverty has brought the change tor the better, which is surely coming, it is still glorious change.

VARIED and conflicting have been the reports within the past few weeks as to the probability of an extra session of Congress, but until this week, nothing definite has been announced as coming direct from the President. To the few congressmen who have talked with him on the subject the President has intimated that he will call an extra session to dispose of the tariff question. NC definate time has been fixed, but the session will probably be called in September or October. It is said that, beyond the decision to call an extra session, no details for the con. sideration of congress have been ar ranged, and the subject has progress ed no further than the determina tion to have congress meet in one ol or the other of the months named 1 President Cleveland, 1t is claimed has been induced to call the session 1 by the republican defeat of 1890 fol lowing so close on the enactment ot the Mckinley tariff law He be l lieves that fair test of the new tar if law cannot be had ina few months and therefore, has deemed it wise te have congress assemble two or three months earlier than usual. Mir Springer of Illinois, chairman of the committee on ways and means, which is charged with the preparation o1 the tariff bill, has been questioned relative to the time it would take tc enact a new tariff bill He said il would be impossible for congress to enact any measure of the kind want. ed earlier than May, if the subject were considered at the regular ses- sion beginning in December. An extra session would of course bring the matter to settlement by as much quicker as it met in advance of the regular date, and would give the people fair opportunity to judge of the merits of the measure adopted before the general elections in November
