QUESTION OF RECEIVERS.

The new theory of employing re-
ceivers for protecting the interests of
the owners instead of the creditors of
the railways is at least questionable.
While there is no doubt but that in
stances occur where such proceeding
might be of advantage to all parties
concerned, there is also as little doubt
that such proceedings may be made
to work severe hardships upon many
an honest creditor. 1t should also be
remembered that there are interests
other than those which relate to the
financial status of the corporation di-
rectly concerned. A case in point is
that of the Union Pacific railroad,
where contract entered into by the
directors of that road and certain of
its connections involving on the part
of the latter roads an outlay of con-
siderable amount of money, may now
at the instance Of Receiver Clark be
abrogated, something which President
Clark was unable to do. To those fa-
miliar with railway affairs other illus
trations OF the power for harm that
may attach to this new order Of things
will readily occur, and in view Of
which it would seem that our courts
would insist upon the showing of am
pie cause before granting receiver
ship upon the application Of those in
charge of the property.
The above view of modern receiver
ship is taken from excellent authority
on the subject, and will meet the ap-
proval of many persons who have
given the subject study and consider
alton.

ASKING ADVICE.

Mr.. Henry Smith, Assistant Regis
ter of the Treasury, at Washington,
has received letter from Mrs. Potter
Palmer, president Of the board Of lady
managers Of the Worlds Fair, asking
advice as to what action she shall
pursue in dealing with the refractory
members Of the woman's board.
Since the enforced retirement of Miss
Phoebe Couzins from the Office of Sec
retary the board has been divided by
rival factions and good deal Of
wrangling has occurred at the various
meetings. Mr.. Smith has advised
Mrs. Palmer to try to effect harmo-
NOUS settlement. Mrs. Palmer is ex-
pected in Washington in January. A
preliminary report Of the accounts Of
the woman's department has been re-
ceived at the treasury, but has not
been approved up to the present by
the secretary.

SENATOR TE11ER,s VIEWS.

During brief stay IN Denver, Colo,
while enroute from Washington, D. C.
to his home, Senator Teller, one of
leading advocates of free silver, ex-
pressed himself in the following
terms, concerning the recent election
results, in several States. Speaking
on this subject with friends, be said:
The only constitution that can be
placed on the result in the country
at large is the pronounced condemna.
tion of Cleveland's administration q
was not informed by the President
himself, but by good authority,
that President Cleveland had always
believed the November election would
be a complete vindicatiou ofhis conrse
He had oftentimes been warned by
the Democratic members that he
would get himself and party in trou-
BILE if he continued in the course he
had mapped out, but he knew better
than they did, and he has heard from
the country. No, we will get no re-
lief from Congress as long as Mr.
Cleveland holds the veto power or
England continues its present policy.
Silver will not, | think, go lower than
it is now and it may go higher"

Relations with Mexico.

The efforts of Minister Gray and
Consul General Crittenden to effect
closer trade rotations between the
United States and Mexico are most
commendable, and it is to be hoped
that Congress will not neglect their
suggestions. In so far as practicable,
free trade between the two countries
should be established. Closer and
more extensive trade relations will
cause a relationship between the two
great western republics which will be
mutually beneficial.
The above on our trade relations
with Mexico, from Texas writer,
following SO closely on the discussion
of the same relations with France,
shows very clearly the bent of the
public mind on this great subject

THE JUSTICE MURDER.
Two Well Known Bearden Merchants
Arrested for Murder.

A great deal of excitement has been
aroused in and around Camden, Ark,
by the announcement that the grand
jury of Ouachita county, now sitting,
had returned indictments for murder
in the first degree, against Norman
and Cramer, two heretofore prosper
GUS INGREDIENTS of Beardon, Ark. The
reading public will remember the re-
ports which were telegraphed through
out the State several months ago of
the foul assassination at Bearden OF
Mr.. Justice, mill man, prominent in
the southwest. Norman and Cramer
were engaged in business together at
Bearden and the circumstances were
such that they were arrested and tried
before a justice Of the peace for the
crime. After trial that excited a
great deal of interest and which last
ed several days the testimony being
voluminous Norman and Cramer
were released The decision of the
magistrate aroused great indignation
and number of citizens signed Pc
tition requesting him to resign. This
he did not do, however. The State
was not at all satisfied and when court
met last Monday every effort was put
in motion to secure an indictment
from the grand jury. The work was
crowned with success and Norman is
now in Jail, under ali indictment.
Cramer is at Bearden but his arrest
and Imprisonment will follow. The
trial, which will take place this term
of court, will be specially interesting.
Norman and Cramer have eminent
counsel and are well supplied with
money, being well-to-do and having a
legion of relatives who will aid them
to the last point. 1t is the cause
celebre of the fall term of the Ouach-
ita Circuit court.

TWO MORE TAKEN.
Two More of the Train Robbers Said
to Have Been Captured.

The latest news from the pursuit of
the remaining bandits who robbed
the Iron Mountain passenger train at
Oliphant reached this city from Little
Rock today. The report was receiv-
ed at Little Rock late last evening
from an operator up the Iron Noun
tain road. 1t was to the effect that
two more of the robbers had been
captured at Mountain View, Stone
county, by Deputy Marshals Heck
Bruner and John Copeland, from the
Indian Territory. These experienced
criminal hunters were summoned
shortly after the robbery, and on their
arrival Immediately set to work to
study the plans and character of the
robbers. They came to the conclusion
that they were old offenders and be-
longed to The Dalton gang. On Wed
nesday the railway officials conveyed
them in special up the Fort Smith
road, whence they struck ont for the
trail which they thought the bandits
had taken from the Territory to
jamestown. They found that the
robbers had passed through Mountain
View, Stone county, and that they
had laid out a route of retreat over
the same trail. Owing to the dis
tance from telegraphic communica-
tion it was impossible to learn further
particulars concerning the capture.
1t may we'll be stated here that there
are so many reports of conflicting
nature being received from various
portions of the State concerning the
pursuit and alleged capture of differ
ent members of the Oliphant gang,
that it is extremely difficult to de-
termine the true from the false, and
the best that can be dene is to give
the reports as they are received,
where the same have the appearance
of truth and reliability, leaving subse-
quent reports to confirm or disprove,
as the case may be.

A Startling Demand.

A startling sensation has been
sprung at Franklin, La, town of sew
eral thousand inhabitants on the
Southern Pacific railway, 100 miles
west of New Orleans, and locked in
the beautiful Teche country, one OF
the richest and most populous sec
tions of Louisiana. Franklin also has
the distinction of being both the home
of Gov. Foster and United States Sen
ator Caffery. A special dispatch says;
Tuesday night crowd of men, COM
posed principally of merchants, called
upon five Jew storekeepers there and
ordered them to shut their stores and
leave town. The parties who were
ordered to leave town made complaint
before the grand jury, who will inves-
tigate the case. The action of these
parties is generally disapproyed in
Frrnklin.

The Corbett-Mitchell slugging
match is still uncertain as to the place
Of meeting. At a conference Of their
hackers, held in New York city yes
terday, nothing was decided upon.
The proposition made by the Jackson
vile Q'la.) people was taken under
consideration, pending further CORE
spondence between the parties. The
hitch in the arrangements, so far as
Jacksonville is concerned, appears to
be on account of its failure to guaran-
tee $4,000 to each of the pugilists,
with which to defray the expenses of
training, etc. The main purse Of $780,
900 was considered satisfactory, as
certified check for $4,000 of the
amount accompanied the proposition,
as guarantee of good faith.

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.
It's 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.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
Snd being well informed, you will not

temperate or humane measures for
their prevention. A mawklsh senti-
ment in dealing with such cranks
tends to increase the sense of insecure
ty among persons in high stations and
rather encourages than deters the
criminals. There is vast difference
between lunatic and crank, and the
full penalty of the law should be
meted out to the latter without hesl-
tation whenever his acts warrant
judicial investigation. Any other
course will eventually result in social
ism, anarchy and barbarism.

Cotton Yield Light.

Cotton returns IN the department
of agriculture for the month OF No
vember do not indicate high rate
yield. but point rather to a diminished
harvest as compared with that OF
1892.
The averages are 1883 pounds per
acre, distributed by the states as fol-
lows; Virginia, 1852; North Carolina,
LA; South Carolina, 142; Georgia,
1856; Florida, s2; Alabama,
148; Mississippi, 143; Louisiana, 175;
Texas, 15l; Arkansas, 1914; Tennessee,
1873. The severe frost has not yet
been general and it is possible the re-
ported expectations may be exceeded.

Attending to the ohinese.

Commissioner Miller of the internal
revenue bureau is attending to the
department regulations for the regis
tration of Cinnamon in accordance
with the recent act of congress ex-
tending the time of registration six
months. The department has an un-
expended balance Of about $4,000
which can be utilized in putting the
new legislation into operation. This
is sufficient for month or SO. 1t is
generally understood that the Chinese
as a whole will register, and after six
months all the Chinese unable to pro-
duce certificates will be summarily
deported.

Murderous Cranks.

We fully agree with the following
views on the crank question: The
country seems infested with a class Of
cranks who are more to be
dreaded by wealthy citizens or per-
sons high In authority than any other
danger to which they arc subjected.
Within week one assassination, one
deadly assault, which may prove fatal,
and one, fortunately, abortive effort to
take human life, have taken place in
the cities Of Chicago and New York,
and are the result of the ilendish
work of this class Of criminols. Crimes
of this sort are largely on the increase
in this country, and that they result
from soclalistic teachings seem to us
evident.
II is the most utter folly to talk OF

The Modern Jack Horner,

"Little Jack Horner sat in a corner,
Eating Christmas pie;
He put in his thumb and pulled out plum,
And said, What good boy am >"
But little Jack Horner became a deep

When older he grew and a glutton.

weight,
AS he drank wine and ate too much
mutton,

And Of sickness he ceased to be fearful;
For a boon friend said "Well, let's try

And with good llvers both are now

Civil Service Views.

Commissioner Miller of the Internal
Revenue Bureau at Washington, D. c.,
has addressed letter to Mr.. Murphy,
Collector of internal revenue at Mil
waukee, Wis, which it is believed out
lines the policy of the administration
as to government employees participa-
ting actively in politics. Mr.. Murphy
has held his acceptance of the office in
allegiance until he could ascertain the
views of his superior officers on the
subject. The Commissioners letter
to Mr.. Murphy conveyed the intima-
tion that according to the ideas of
civil service entertained by the ad-
ministration 1t would be well to leave
himself entirely free to devote all of
his time to the duties of his Office.
The letter was written at the direction
of Secretary Carlisle.
Miller Davis, the man who mur-
dered Deputy Sheriff Callie Dollar
hide in Sewer county, something over
year ago, and who, on change of
venue to Howard county, was convic-
ted Of murder in the first degree, ex-
plated his crime on the gallows at
Center Point, Ark, Yesterday, after
making a full voluntary confession,
which went to a great length. Davis
acknowledged to having first drugged
and then shot his victim. He claimed
that the deed was committed in the
presence of A. B. and Alex Hanna
The self confessed murderer met his
fate with nerve and GOODNESS worthy of
a better cause and never finched or
weakened during the terrible ordeal
The two Hanna brothers whom Davis
duplicates in the crime have already
been tried and secured an acquittal.
This ends one of the most celebrated
murder cases ever tried in this portion
of the State.

A Widely Prevalent Malady.

While it is perfectly true that

mists along the banks of slow wind
ing, turbid streams, and the eflluvium
exhaled by the sun from moist and
decaying vegetable beget malaria, it
frequently breaks out where no such
conditions exist. 1t is, in fact, a mall
ady widely prevalent, Of which 1t is in
many cases impossible TO discover the
origin. But though its causes are Of
ten obscure, the testimony, profession
al and public of the inhabitants of
America and other lands, leave no rea-
sonable doubt not only that Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters uproots this
tenacious disease when fully develop
ed, but fortliles the system against its

McElroy Gilbert on the Condition Of
the Market.
NEW ORLEANS, May 30.-McElroy
& Gilbert say:
Futures-Liverpool surprised, the
trade this morning, for after opening
64d below last night, it recovered the
loss and continued to improve until
the closing, which shows net gain of
4.64d Oh the day. Gable indicate that
this advance was due to better feel
ing in spots, but this is not borne out
ny the sales, which aggregated only
5000 bales at unchanged prices. The
principal strengthening factor here,
however, was the prediction that the
heavy rains around Helena, Ark. =,
by overlooking the st. Francis
and White rivers. would cause the
Mississippi to rise higher than the
levees between Arkansas City and the
mouth of the Arkansas river. While
this prediction is not given general
credence, there will be considerable
anxiety felt in the next four or five
days, and while that anxiety lasts it
is thought thaG shorts are little
shorter At closing our market is 6
points higher than last night.
Spots were in fair demand, with to.
tai sales OF 5000 at unchanged quota
tations. New York has been closed
today on account of Decorotion
day. There was another break
in the Arkansas lire of levees
yesterday evening, the Amos levee
giving away, sending flow of water
into the sections of Louisiana to the
west of that already covered by the
previous overflow. The weather con-
tinues to be all that could be de-
sired for the proper cultivation of the
crop, and good news regarding its
progress comes especially from Texas.
Unless, therefore, the apprehension
felt now regarding the river should be
verified those who have bought in
that anticipation will probably unload
freely

DAVIS FUNERAL TRAIN.
s0UTHR0Ns UNITE IN DOING HONOR
To THEIR DEAD CHIEFTAIN.
All-Night Vigils Were Kept by the People
Along the Route That They Would Not
Miss the Opportunity to Present
Testimonials Of Sympathy.

GREENSBORO, N. c., May 3O.-All
night from Atlanta to Charlotte were
demonstrations along the line as the
Jefferson Davis funeral train flew by.
There were bonfires lighting crowds
assembled at the track and cannons
doomed out. Thirteen volleys of
musketry were fired. Out of the
darkness would come sharp COM
mand and then a flash and report
would disclose the presence of still an.
other assemblage anxious to do honor
to the ex-president. At Greenville
Governor Tillman boarded the train
to go to Richmond and take part in the
Hornets Nest Rifles and the Queen
City Rifles fired volleys as the train
drew in. A body of Confederate vet
Grams was drawn up in front of the
line, with battle flag furled
and draped in Grape. On
the left of the line were naval reserves
of North Carolina with brightly pol
ished howitzer and gunners with
white duck suits. This gun fired a
presidential salute. General Capers
boarded the train to accompany the
cortege on its further progress. AT
Salisbury Major Withers, General
John H. Morgan's adjutant general,
came on with the battle flag of that
command. AT this point large
crowd assembled at the tuneral car
and begged for only one of the crashed
I and faded flowers which had fallen to
the floor. some were handed out by
