A BOOMING YOUNG CITY.

Not everybody knows that a
booming young city is coming to
the front out forty miles north of
Texarkana, ON the Texarkana & Ft.
Smith railroad, but it is a fact new
erthless.
Winthrop is the name of this city,
and, in view of its fine location, at
the Soon-to-be terminus of one rail
road, and the principal inland town
on another, its fame is not surpris-
ing. The Texarkana & Fort Smith
road WILSON be completed to it,
and a branch railroad will be built
out to Rocky Comfort. This will
give it two railroads.
Winthrop is located on a beauti-
full, high plateau, midway between
the Red and Little rivers, with no
city of consequence nearer than
Texarkana, and being only six
miles from the Indian Territory,
may hope for big trade from this
fertile region.
A splendid opportunity is now
afforded investors, as we'll as per-
sons seeking a desirable location for
for a new home. The following
persons have bought lots, within
the past few days: M. H. Bales
of Ohio, S. B. Andrews, NJ. D. Til

Now is the time to invest, as
choice business lots can be had for
$75 and best resident lots for $25.
Those who wish to buy before the
railroad reaches the town should

Mckinley bill was immeasursbly more
favorable to the trust than the present
law. This illustrates the opposition OF
Senators Sherman. Allison and other
prominent Republicans to the prevailing
sugar schedule, and accounts for the
Havemeyers' preference for Mckinley
ism. 1t is no doubt dissgreeable to con-
template the necessity of the imposition
of duty upon sugar, but the Republican
party, having bankrnptsd the national
treasury, made it necessary to replenish
the supply. Bounties take from the tzeas.

LESS than two weeks ago the report

AGRICULTURE AND M'KINLRYlSM.

In his "swing round the CIRCLE" chas-
ing his presidential boom, Major Nc
Kinley stopped at Avoca. Iowa, the
other day, and talked to the farmers.
They had come out in large numbers to
zee the man who has got the Naroleonic
pose down fine and who had wrought,
indeed, almost as much havoc with his
tariff law as the great soldier perpetrat-
ed with his destroying legions. He said
to them:
Ninety per cent of the products OF
agriculture in this country is consumed
in this country, and the other 10 per
cent goes abroad. The Republican party
is looking after the 80 per cent and the
Democratic party gives its attention to
the 10 per cent.
But what the doughty major did not
tell the farmers OF the vale OF Avocs
was the fact that the 10 per cent shipped
and sold abroad determined the home
market price of the 80 per cent consumed
in this country. What Liverpool will
pay for the American farmers surplus
cereals is quoted in every city OF the
United States and Immediately fixes the
home price. The patriotic major should
have gone on to explain how the Repub-
licsn party ''looked after" the 80 per
cent consumed at home. Does he mean
to cay that the Republicans ate it all
themselves? II American agriculture
has been "looked after" by the Republi-
can party for the last thirty years it has
had very poor guardian.

primaries for the election OF delegates
to the coming city convention. No part
OF our political system needs such dfas-
tic reformation as the manner OF nomi.
mating candidates for public Office, and

To win in the coming municipal cleo
ton the Democratic party must nomi-
nate its best men, and there is no lack
OF good timber. For the Office OF mayor
a solid business man should be nomi-
mated, one in whom the people of the
city have confidence; the mere quality
OF honesty is not enough, but must be
backed by ability. else he will merely
cucumber the Office, and all sorts of jobs
and steals will be carried on unchecked,
not because the mayor is unwilling to
check them, but because he does not
know how.
The members of the school board
should be, if possible. selected without
regard to politics. and for the council no
man should be selected in q ward who
would not have been nominated ii he
had to run in the city at large.
