eight rounds to draw.

ring is in the centre, in size 24X24
feet, and raised 81 feet from the
ground. About it, on all four sides,
are the press and telegraph tables,
occupying a space eight feet wide
back of this. There are sos boxes on
the floor back of this, and they will
seat 2,03S people.

The question has been directly
put as to whether the citizens of Hot
Springs desire to retain the Chau-
tauqua, and if they do, notice has
been served that the residents
must purchase tickets now for this
seasons assembly. The STAR has
so many times urged the impor-
tance of retaining the assembly
here, relating the various benefits
that accrue to the town through it,
and the truth of the matter is so
self-evident that it seems uncalled
for in us to reiterate these argu-
ments. The matter is with the
people, and we believe that the
usual energy and liberality of our
citizens will be exhibited and that
they will respond to this impor.
tant call in manner that shall be

The sermon Sunday evening by
Rev. Swickard upon the subject
of "hard times" was one of the
most thoughtful discussions of the
present social problems that we
have heard. Ignoring all political
differences he viewed the situation
as it is from humanitarian stand.
point, and, in substance, placed
the principal causes of the present
s'hard times" upon extravagant
and reckless living--living too fast
and upon the utter lack of conf
dence that people have in one
another; the constant strife for
gain, regardless of who suffers from
their course. This of course is
human nature as we find it, and
the only ultimate remedy, as he
sees it, is reform in individuals as
we'll as in politics. We wish he
might be persuaded to repeat the
lecture upon some evening during
the week and embody in it his
ideas as to the best methods for
Fastening relief from "hard times. :"

The chronic grumbler who ma
nipulates the utterances of the
Herald is out with another column
of balderdash, in an effort to salts
fly its readers that it is a republi-
can paper, but entirely ignores the
question put to it by the STAR. viz:
''Is the Herald for a republican
Legislature and a republican U. S.
senator ?" This being "free
country" that sheet does not have
to answer that. If it gratifes our
contemporary to endeavor to palm
itself off as republican paper it
should be given full scope. We
questioned its past political record
emitting it to that distinction, and
it has exposed itself to the public
in a "dual character" If it pro-
poses to reform and work here.
after tor the republican party we
repeat what we have said before,
we shall be glad of it. But does
it propose to do so? We might
believe it if it should say so.
An occasional puncturing of the
wind bag may yet disclose his po.
litical identity.
The republican party will in all
probability exercise its own good
judgment when the proper time
comes for selecting its candidates,
and the STAR is willing to abide by
its decision. Is the Herald?

convention its candidates for the

ing that the nominee receive the

ture. Others propose that the se-

1t occurs to us that some of
these fellows who pretend to be so
anxious about the return of a re-
publican U. S. senator are pursu-
ing course that is liable to send
another Kyle. But if republicans
have reached that point where
they can't differ upon few points
at issue without raising pandemo-
mum within the ranks, they have
but themselves to blame for their
foolishness.
