duty of all christian men to pray and
vote against the liquor traffic; that
the liquor is SO pernicious in all its
bearings; SO inimical to the interests
of honest trade; so repugnant to the
moral sense; SO injurious to the peace
and order OF society: SO hurtful ts
the home, to the church, the body
and to politics, so utterly antagonis
tic to all that is precious in life; that

SAM JONES ON P0PULIsTs.

Sam Jones, the famous lecturer
and noted pulpit orator, in lecture
delivered in this city, recently, gave
the following unique description of
that greatest of all political monde
scripts, the third party. He said;
The third party, or the party of
the third part, or whatever you
may call it, may go to heaven, but
they'll never get to Washing
ton, It's not on the way. Wash
ington is the wickedest place on
earth, 1t is the home of the devil.
The average Democratic and Re-
publican politicians are little better
than rascals, but the third party
man is a fool. You can reform a
rascal, but did you ever try to mon
key with foolY
They want to borrow money from
the government at 2 per cent, when
the government is now borrowing
at 5. We hear great deal of fool
talk about the rich getting richer
and the poor poorer under our
present law, There never was a
greater lie and I'll prove it. There
is noting the matter with the law.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1894-06-16

It's the man that's at fault. There's
a lawyer on that side of the House
makes twenty thousand a year.
Here's little pettifogger whose
family is starving. The law is not
to blame. Here's a physician max
ing ten thousand year. There's
little doctor over on the other cor
ner that can't make his salt. The
law is not to blame, / preach near
ly every day to nearly 5000 people,
and here's little preacher sitting
behind me that can't average 200.
The trouble is not in the law, broth
er, it's in your noggin.
The difference is organic. If all
the wealth in the United States
were divided up today each man
would get about 81, 160, and in less
than six months some fellows would
be riding in palace cars, and Others
would be walking cross-ties and
bowling for another divy.

HIS BROTHERS ASSASSIN.
TEN Smith Captured at Pueblo,
Colorado, for a Murder in Lit
tie River County.

A special dispatch from Little
Rock, Ark, yesterday, announces
the arrival in, and departure from
that city, on the day previous, of
VIM. S. Biddle, of Little River coun-
ty, having in his custody Tom
Smith, charged with the murder of
Biddle's brother, a store-keeper at
Allene, little station on the Tex
arkana and Fort Smith Railway,
several months since, the scene of
the murder being only about thirty
miles distant from this city,
An interesting story depends up
on the above statement of facts.
About three months ago Ben Bid
die was a merchant at Alleen, own
ing a stock of general merchan-
disc, Smith, who is generally con-
sidered bad man in his county,
walked into the store and purchas-
ed some canned goods, which he ate
in the store. He then started to
walk out without paying for the
same. Biddle demanded the pay,
and Smith who was drunk at the
time, paid the bill and cursed and
abused Biddle, who struck him with
an axe handle, and forced him out
of the store Biddle was arrested
and fined 81. That afternoon Smith
returned, went into an adjoining
store secured a Winchester, and
going to Biddle's establishment,
shot him twice as he stood in the
door Biddle drew his pistol and
fired twice, both balls entering the
ground several feet from the assas-
sin. The shots fired by Smith prov
ed fatal The murderer escaped,
and a reward of 500 was offered
for his arrest and return to the
sheriff of Little River county.
Vim. S. Biddle, a brother of the
murdered man, at once started up
on his trail He was tracked to the
Indian Territory and there all clues
were lost. Biddle engaged in the
spectacle business, but at no time
lost sight of that which he had set
out to accomplish. He confded
his secret to the postmaster at
Dixie, and secured his assistance.
Soon after a letter came to the Of
fee addressed to "Lum Smith, .
from "Chas, O'Hair, Pueblo, Colo. J"
This Smith was a brother of the
fugitive, and Biddle at once tele
graphed the sheriff at Pueblo to ap.
prehend such party and hold him
until he could arrive.
OHair, or Smith, was arrested on
the 9th inst, and Biddle secured
him and is taking him back to the
scene Of his crime to answer for it.
By agreement with the sheriff at
Pueblo, the reward will go to Bid
die. According to his story he had
some wonderful adventures, al
though he has not the appearance
Of a shrewd detective His priso-
ner did not know the name of his
captor yesterday, but Biddle said
he would reveal his identity when
he had him safely behind the bars.

GOOD WORDS FOR THE SOUTH.
slanderous Charges Against the
South and Her People
Refuted.

paper, published at St Louis, Mo,
there appeared bitter, vindictive
and baseless slander against the
Southern people, on their manner
of treating Federal prisoners, dur
ing the late war, the article,
strange as it may seem, was writ
ten by a woman, signing herself
Mrs, Day. The answer to this
slanderous arraigment of the South
and her people, is a most excellent
one, written by an eX-Confederate
Soldier and well known Missourian,
who addresses the editor of that
paper, in which the slanderous ar
ticle appeared, as follows;
As you are engaged at present in
devoting part of your space to the
abuse of loyal Southerners and Mis-
sourians, and especially as you are
the mouth piece of a certain woman
who pretends to pose as a woman
of veracity, will you kindly allow me
an expression which from my ex-
tended acquaintance and associa-
tion among representative ex-Con
federates | feel sure will but echo
their sentiments.
rst-That woman of the South
representing the average intelli-
gent and moral character, or, in
other words, that representative
Southern women offered to or at
tempted to tear bandages from
wounded Union soldiers when pris-
oners Of war is a falsehood and
that no such an occurrance as re-
lated by Mrs .Hollen e. Day ever
took place save in the distorted
minds of Northerners, who, over
come by jealous hatred of Southern
people, could but resort to arrogant
lies with which to defend their po-
sition.
Second That even if all these
falsehoods concerning the treat
ment of prisoners of war by the
South were true it would poorly
avenge the wrongs perpetrated by
the North against the Southern
people in the way of murder of
women and children, burning of
houses and theft of property-all of
which, however, such as Mrs. Hol-
len E. Day, will condone, as the
butchery at Palmyra Mo-, which
will ever remain as a stain upon
the escutcheon of the State Of Mis-
souri,, although committed by min
ions of the North
Third While the Southern
people, including Missourians, have
been disposed to bear the abuse
and slander heaped upon them for
their participation in the war as de-
Tenders of their homes, properties,
families and States, but even Of
their character as men and women,
they now denounce all such writers
as Mrs. Hollen E. Day, not only as
prevaricators, but as ma licious
slanderers and persons who are enc
mics to the community and State
in which they reside.
Fourth-While the Southern peo-
pie deprecate the formation of all
organizations tending to perpetuate
sectionalism, they have at last,
from sense of the duty they owe
their children, their honor and
character, been forced to foster
and encourage organizations Of eX-
Confederates- Sons Of Confederate
Veterans, etc, the end that
their descendants may know them
in their true light as patriots who
shed their lifes blood without stint
in defense of their homes and their
rights,
Respectfully.
