When Mr.. GrosvenOr of Ohio.
asserts that All American ten dol.
lar suit Of clothes is better by 40
per cent than All English sixteen
dollar suit, there is ground for an.
prehension that his reason is tot.

tariff statesmen, who travel
abroad and purchase their clothes
in England, should take Mr.. eros.
venor aside and kindly but firmly
point out to him what a spectacle
he makes of himself by such a line
of argument. 1t is true that a
cheap American suit often pre-.
sents at first a stylish and attrac-

wearing qualities, and in an incred-
IDLE short time is reduced to rags.

Mr.. Terry on the Wilson Bill.

Hon. w. L. Terry made a strong
argument in the house Friday for
the passage of the Wilson bill. He
did not deal with statistics, but
the reasons he gave for revising
the tariff were absolutely unan-
sweraDle. He said
It should be the highest object
of the law to treat all classes alike,
but ii determinations are made
anywhere, let there be no pitfalls
to those who need most. You
have got to stop taxing the many
for the benefit of the few. All his
tory teaches that bounties of that
kind put nothing in the hands OF
toll. Instead of paternalistic
system that has to establish soup.
houses, we want a Democratic
system that will establish JUS
tice, and sooner or later it has got
to come, and woe be unto that
man, or set of men, or faction, that
stands in the way of its coming.
And the Democracy of Arkansas
will endorse every word of this
stateinent.-Ex.

lieve himself of the suspicion that

Tribes threatens to postpone con-
sideratiOn of the admission qnes.
ton beyond this session of Con-

dent Cleveland pointing out the
law less conditions prevailing in
the Indian Territory had led to
the belief that he would oppose
the creation Of . new State III that
part of the country which will not
include the Indian tribes.
lii u letter to the OklahOman,
written in response to a request
for his opinion, the Governor of
Arkansas takes occasion to declare
very clearly that Statehood for
Oklahoma should not be defeated
or deferred because the Indians of
tho nations are unpreparcd for 1t.
He draws the proper distinction

Poll Tax Receipts.

There appears to be a misunder-
standing among some Of the tax
collectors OF the State concerning
the law requiring voters to secure
poll tax receipts. 1t will not be
amiss to call attention to the re-
quiremepts of the new law, for un.
less its provisions are understood
and complied with much confusion
will be the result. In the first
place every man who values the
right to vote must assess while the
books are in the hands of the as
SCISSOR. After the assessors books
have been turned over to the cOun-
ty 1t will not be lawful to list any
voter for that year. The equaliza.
ton board might place his name
on the roll, but as thepe boards
convene after collectors have
turned over their funds, the delin-
quent voter could not then recover
his forfeited rights.
The. date Of poll tax receipts are
of equal Importance to the time of
assessment. All tax must be paid
prior to July l, the law presuming
that collectors will close their
books on that date and settle with
the State treasurer. Persons VIII o
may have been assessed with poll
tax and yet dodge it's collection,
cannot come in after July / and by
paying up secure the right to vote.
Collectors have the right to ex-
act the same penalties from de-
linquents as heretofore, and the
law in that particular remains un.
changed. Il. X. Democrat.

It does US good when we see
our Democratic representatives IN
congress fighting the battles and
npholding the principles of Demo-
cracy. We have long since come
to the conclusion that the civil SER
vice law was and is q fraud Of the
first water and one ofthe greatest
drawbacks to the carrying out OF
Democratic principles and poll
cies. If Mr.. Cleveland would use
q little of his stubborn backbone
in choppng off the heads OF Re-
publicans he would be in greater
accord with his party and perpet-
nate the life and undying principles
of Democracy. In discussing this
question on the 18th in the U. s.
Senate, Mr.. Berry in substance
said that the civil service theories
had been carried further than was
intended by congress when the
act was passed. "He criticised
the Postmaster-General who had
recently declared his intention to
observe the spirit Of law IN the
appointment of fOurth.class post
masters and had permitted these
postmasters to serve out al entire
four years term although many Of
them had been appointed just be-
fore the close of the last admins.
tration ard taken the place Of
Republicans who had resigned in
order to give another Republican
a special advantage in the tenure
of Office.
II think" said he "there is a
great deal Of humbug about this
civil service business and / am not
in favor of extending it one iota
further than has been d0ne.s APP.
plause.
Senator Berry said further that
there were several thousand Re-
publican Office holders who would
not applaud his remarks. He be-
lieved that a Democratic President
should be surrounded by his Dem
0cratic friends and not by his party
enemies.-White Go. Citizen.

HOPE, Ark, Jan. l0.-In the
long ago, before the advent of the
palefaces, there dwelt in the noun
tains of the Ozarks two noted
Indian chiefs-Arkan and Kansaw
BY name. They fought many hard
battles for supremacy. When Ar
kan was slain by the warriors of
his rival the mantle of greatness
was transferred to his son, who
continued the conflict against the
enemies of his father. In the wars
that followed, the old chief, Kan.
saw, was taken prisoner and SEN
fenced to death. But the old man
was spared on condition that he
would give the hand Of his daugh-
ter In marriage to the young chief.
As this arrangement was satisfac-
tory to all parties concerned, the
event was celebrated with great
pOmp, when the young chief as
sumed undisputed sway over both
tribes. Then 1t was that the great
river and all the vast territory ad-
jacent was named in honor of the
two old chiefs, Arkan and Kansaw
Thus the two names were blended
into Arkansaw. In after years
came the white man and with him
his exaulted ideas. Hence the g
was substituted for W.
This is the traditional account
of the origin of Arkansaw.

Rev. Sam Jones takes roseate
view of the business situation. In
a recent interview, he is quoted
as saying: 1.-THE end no man can
tell; but whatever betides us
politically, the common sense and
manhood of this county will run it,
and though the first months OF
this year may drag heavily, in the
latter part of the summer and fall,
prosperity will bloom and blossom
again and the verge of better and
purer times await our people.
They shall yet come back into
prosperity and this great nation
will go on, with now and then a
backset, until it shall be the great.
