THE TWO BENTONS.

The towns known as "Old Ben
TOM nand {" New Benton are destin-
ed to gradually approach each other
aud become one town. the largest
and most thriving on the Cotton
Belt Route between Shreveport and
Lewisville.
Old Benton is moss tavorably
located for a country town. Built
on rolling land about one mile from
the river, it has the advantage OF
river and hill characteristics; fertile
soil for gardens and orchards and
wells and springs Of pure water. A
refined, intelligent society makes
this little hamlet delightful place
to visit, as its people are well knowr
for their true hospitality.
New Benton has greater advaUt'
age as a business point, being sit
uated on the railroad, and so is out
growing the old town. The eas
side is being built up rapidly will
pretty homes, surrounded by wei
kept kitchen gardens and beds o
bright flowers; one of the most no
ticable improvements being th'
handsome two-story residence o

THROUGH GREEN FJETnS

THROUGH GREEN FIELDS.
To throw off the ennui of town
life. that possesses one during the
dull dead months of summer, a tonic
of fresh country air is needed.
Take a trip through the well eul-
tlvated districts, where yistas of bill
lowy green and broad swarths of
golden brown refresh the senses ::
where the eye sweeps the field of
vision to the horizon, and folds of
misty azure, heavens cnrtain. seem
to drop slowly down, shutting ont
all beyond.
The prospect is everywhere pleas
ing, even the rugged silhouette of
man and mule against the blne sat
isfies the aesthetic sense and gives
the necessary picturesqueness to he
scene.
Looking at the practical side of
the picture, the money value that
these acres of green and gold repre-
sent, and We come quickly to the
conclusion that in this gootlly land,
exempt from many ills, it's real
growth and prosperity lies in the
| rich warm embrace of the fruitful
earth, to be developed by intelligent
cultivation.
Wear speeding over the undulat
ing fields of Bossier's plantatious.-
Acres on acres of cotton, abloom
acres on acres of yellowing corn,
whose cultivation is such a vast in
dustry that its harvests equal in
value those of all the other cereals
combined; fields on fields of hay,
with great sugar loaf stacks already
cured. Elsewhere men are busy
with big rakes, tossing the fragrant
masses about until the delicious
odOr of new-mown hay comes with
every wbiff. Further on We see th.
deep green luxuriance of pea fields
potato and pumpkin patches; mel
atield with their teams; all th's
means plenty and prosperity.
1t will cure a chronic case O
"blues7 and silence the dismaleS
croaker forever to look for an hour
on fields green with growing crops
and we strongly advise these un
desirable members of society to ge

and favored land they live in.

Chairman McCann of the House Labor
Committee said, Thursday, that his Com
mittee would make favorable report on
Congressman Phillips bill for commission
to consider the interests of capital, labor
and agriculture.
On Saturday Senator Vest again served
notice that soon after the holidays, as soon
in fact as the Nicaragua Canal bill is got
ten out of the way, he will make another
attempt to call up the sugar bill. There
does NOT seem to be any prospect of the
bill being passed, either as an absolute
free sugar bill or with only the duty on re-
fined sugar removed. Nevertheless there
is some prospect of the bill being called up
for consideration.
No matter what Mr.. Vests motives are,
whether they be to affect the sugar stock
market or whether they be honestly in fa-
vor of carrying out the popular sentiment,
the facts are that the chances to get the
bill before the Senate are better now
than they were when he last made the at
tempt.
When the motion to take up the bill was
made short time ago it was defeated by
only three votes. At that time and since
at least three who voted against con-
sideration have stated that they did so
tor other reasons than opposition to the
bill.
Internal Revenue Collector Kesrns got
back to Pittsburg from Washington last
Sunday morning. He had gone there os-
tensibly on official business, but his real

men will be able to prejudice him with the
department, they having made it apparent
that their grievance is insuficiency of
patronage to satisfy their appetites for
places.

A BILL will be introduced in the Legis
lature this winter by Representative Franz
L Ritter, of Philadelphis, retiring Judges
with full pay after twenty years service on
the bench. Just why Judges who receive
from 81 900 to SO, 900 per year for twenty
years should be pensioned We can not un-
derstand If they live as they should live
they will have accumulated enough money
to keep them the balance of their lives,
and will need no pensions. The bill will
be killed or the Members who vote for il
will kill themselves politically.-Indians

The Country's Verdict.

The official announcement OF the vote
cast last November in many States has
been delayed an unusual time, and IN TWO
States it is still lacking. There were L.
263. .377 ballots cast and counted, as com
pared with the II, ,034, 1853 cast and count
ed in the Presidential election OF 1877
This is the largest vote ever cast in an on
wear. The falling off from the vote OF two
years ago being only S3l, 4Sl. THIS Is
sufficient to show how profoundly interest
ed the people were in the election, and to
disprove any claim that the result was due
to indifference.
Another significant feature of the returns
is the great increase of the Republican
vote over 1892. In that year the total Re
publicau vote was 5,l75,202. while this
year the Republican vote is 5.5Ss, ,326-an
increase OF 413, 124. This large increase in
a psrty's vote in an off year over the vote
the same party cast in the previous Presi-
Dental election is probably unique IN
American political history. In the Demo
cratic sweeps of 1874 and 1890 no such In
crease was apparent. The Democratic
victories ere due in both cases to fall
ing off in the Republican vote. But this
year the Republican victory is due to 9
large increase in the Republican vote
the party having cast not cnly the largest
vote it ever polled, but also having Cast
the largest vote ever polled by any party
this country at any election ever held.
A noticeable feature of the returns is the
number of States that gave large Republi'
can pluralities. One State-Pennsylvsnis
gave Republican plurality exceeding
2OO, 900. Four States-New York, Ohio
Illinois and Michigan-gave Republican
pIuraliries exceeding 100000. In fou'
States-MassacLuse usetts, Wisconsin, Mime
SOTO and Iows-the Republican plurality
was over SO, 900. and New Jersey and 1ndi-
ana fell only q very few thousand below
this plurality, and in such small States 81
New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, South Dakota and Colorado,
the Republican plurality ranged be-
tween IL, 900 and 1900
The vote is on the highest State otticel
voted for, or where there was no State tick
ct on Congressman. This is hardly fail
to the Republicans, as 10 several States
the opposition fight was concentrated OF
the Republican candidate for Governor, ,anc
resulted in loss in Minnesots, Nebrasks
and California of at least $4,000 votes II
the Republicans. A comparison OF the
votes on Congressman would show
much more advantsgeously for the Repnb'
hoans.
