 IF the members of the legislature, in voting upon the proposed appro- priation of $30,000 from the unclaim- ed direct tax fund for the benefit of an Arkansas exhibit at the World S Fair would be governed solely by what they honestly believe to be best for the honor, dignity and welfare of the State there would be no doubt of the result being in favor of the appropriation. Any other view of the case would serious reflection upon the integrity and statesman ship of the members. Surely they cannot fail to rise to the majesty of the occasion and place our beloved commonwealth side by side with her peers in the sisterhood of states. Arkansas MUST be represented at Chicago.

 JUDGE WALTER Q. GRESHAM

The selection of Judge Gresham for place in MT. Cleveland's s cabi- net has been received by the demo crats of the coun try with varying degrees of approval and disfavor. From present appearances it seems to be just such selection as Mir. Cleveland ought to have avoided for the sake of harmony and unity of action in the ranks of the party. What the outcome of it will be, if is of course impossible now to fore tell, but there is already visible up on the political horizon some indica- tions of conflict when the confirm ation of this appointment is asked of the senate According to our opinion, as voicing the sentiment of nine-tenths of the rank and file of the party in the South, this from the Memphis Commercial, about covers the case:
 fMr. Gresham were the only man found fit for the position of secretary of state, or even the best man, we should have no word to say. But we cannot assume that there is no democrat fit for this position. Mr. Gresham does not even pretend to be democrat. He voted for MT. Cleveland very reluctantly and after hesitating long time between him and that preposterous demagogue and calamity anarchist, James 5. Weaver. Indeed, we believe he at one time declared his purpose in a letter to support the nominee of the Omaha mob. Judge Gresham's per sonal bitterness toward Benjamin Harrison doubtless had some infiu- ence in determining his action. He voted tor Cleveland and the demo cratic party with an apology and with string to it. He did so with the distinct declaration that he was not a democrat. And in our opin- ion that is what every man in MT. Cleveland's cabinet ought to be.

 DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

Year by year it is becoming more apparent that the farmers of the south do not exercise that discre- tion and sound business judgement in the conduct of their agricultural affairs which is indispensably es- sential to their permanent prosper ity. The Monroe County Sun, dis cussing the question in late issue, has these timely reflections:
 How long will it take the South ern farmer to learn that he must turn his attention to something be- sides cotton before he will become an independent citizen? It seems to us that the experience of the past few years should be enough to con vince the average person that cotton alone is a failure. The Northern and Western farmer succeeds very we'll in raising more than he can eat and disposing of the surplus for clothing, but the Southern farmer will remain in debt so long as he at tempts to make cotton do all this for him. The Southern farmer has more advantages than are possessed by his Western neighbor. The Southern farmer can raise as much wheat, corn, oats, hay, etc, upon which to feed his family and stock and has cotton as sure money crop. If our farmers would raise all they consume at home and grow cotton as money crop, they would soon become the most prosperous, independent and contented people in the world. Why not do it?
