The Way it Works.

Little Rock Democrat: Some
two weeks ago the coal miners of
Sebastian county, three or four
hundred in number, struck out of
sympathy with the general strike.
They had no grievance Of their
own, and we're receiving the high
est wages paid to miners, but they
we're willing to hazard the chan
ces Of subjecting their wives and
children to want merely for the
sake of upholding the cause OF
others. The superintendent OF
the mines urged the men on several
occasions to return to work, but
they refused. Yesterday he called
them together and informed them
that the mines would be closed
till fall. Most of the miners were
getting % to "a day. They will
now be out of employ ment through
the summer, and how they are to
live is question the future will
have to solve. They can, however,
only blame themselves for the un-
fortunate results of injudicious
action.

It appears now that there is
soon to be q contest for the su-
preme judgeship vacancy and the
people are to be called in to de-
eide. Reddick, the present ap-
pointee, will probably be the
candidate of the governors friends
and Jordan E. Crayens of the
governors enemies. If the dis
content that some of the lawyers
are beginning to express concern
ing the Arkansaw supreme bench
be true that body is falling of
sadly in grace and talent. If the
bar Of the state would recommend
or indorse some one for the posi-
tion that one might get majority
of the yoters.-Ft. Smith Times.
If, as the Times says, Judge
Reddick, is put forward as the
candidate of Gov. Fishback fol
the supreme judgeship, and Judge
Cravens as the candidate of Sen.
Berry. Judge Oravens will, from
the slow gait, Gov. Fishback is
making, have an easy race. The
Times, evidentally, is not an ad.
mirer of Judge Reddick.

The Good Tine Ceming.

Don II. Dickinson was inter-
viewed while in Cincinnati q few
DAYS ago on the outlook for
Democratic success in 1896. He
unhesitatingly gave the opinion
that two years from now the Dem
Gratis would have a greater chance
for success than any other politi-
cal party. The reasons he ad-
vanced are good. He says:
1t is hard to elect a Democrat
to anything now. But good times
are coming. We will have it in
two years. We will be all in shape
for '96. There was y time when
they burned Andrew jackson in
effigy all over the county, and yet
two years after that SO popular
had jackson become that you
couldn't find q man who had ever
said q word against him. That is
the way it will be with President
Cleveland. He is an able, fearless
mana man with the courage to
do what he believes to be right.
and he is doing more tor bimetal.
ism than any man living to-day.
He IS q believer in silver. The
only question is as to the best way
in which to do it. England is al
ready receding from her position,
and the day will come when you
will see silver restored to the
world, and Grover Cleveland's at.
titude is doing more to that end
as I said, than any other man OF
force in the world to-day.
In my opinion the campaign will
come West next time. The West
and the South will be too strong
to let it go East. Mr.. Tilden was
in favor of the Western campaign
Mr.. Tlden's prophecy is now ap
preciated, and the campaign will
ccme Westward. We will win on
that line. The East will no longer
dictate the line of policy. I be-
lieve we will zee a tariff bill passed
by the end of June, and that il
will 60 into effect right away.

The Indians, Pay Day.

TAHLEQUAH, l. T., June 5.-Al-
most with the dawn this morning
the streets and grounds around
the State buildings were full of
people anxious to be the first in
line to pass before the Treasurer.
By 9 O'Clock fully 5000 Cherokees
were pushing and showing their
way in the great mass ofhumanity
in order to get to the pay window,
and by noon the crowd increased
to 5000 and about $75,O00 had
been disbursed. Large crowds Of
people are still coming in from
every direction and by Wednesday,
at the present rate, there will
scarcely be standing room in this
city for them.
Mr.. John Ross, a Cherokee
mission worker, was the first per.
son to draw. Most ofthose draw
ing are paying up what they have
contracted, promptly while others
passed the collectors without the
slightest evidence of recognition.
In providing last fall for the dis.
tribution Of this money the CherO
kee Legislature shut out all adopt.
ed citizens, including the Shawnees
DelawaIes, negroes and squaw
men, declaring them entitled only
to the holding of lands in common
with the Cherokees and voting
power. The Shawnees, Delawares
and negroes at once brought suit
for portion of the money in the
Court of Claims at Washington and
were defeated. They appealed to
the Supreme Court of the United
States and it has not yet been
decided.

Can't Garnishee Their Wages.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, May 81
Several garnishments have lately
been run on employees of the Frisco
railroad. Now word comes from
Federal Judge Caldwell, who is at
St. Louis. that this must be stop
ped. The road is in the hands of
receivers under the appointment
of Judge Caldwell, and he says
state courts have no rightto make
the road a garnishee defendant.
He will hold the state judiciary for
contempt of court if they under
take further proceedings. Magis.
trates here threaten to defy the
Federal courts authority in the
premises.

Arkansas Missionary Convention.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, June g.
The annual State Missionary Con.
vention of the Christian Church OF
Arkansas convened in this city to.
day with a large attendance of lay
and clerical delegates from various
parts of the State. The meeting
promises to be one of the most
interesting in it's history. The
evangelist reported 400 churches
$50 Sunday schools, 5000 pupils
and teachers, LAG ministers and
$4,000, worth of church property;
$780, 900 paid for church property
and preaching and $4,000 for gen.
eral missions in the State. Rev,
J. Hardin, of Cincinnati, preached
tonight. The session continues
until Sunday.

Hoar Sat Down.

The Republicans are learning
that they have a foeman worthy of
their steel in. Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, who is in charge of the
tariff bill upon the floor. He is
ready and concise in his answers
and he does not lack the wit to
give sharpness to his thrusts.
Yesterday Mr.. Hoar wanted to
know ifthe bill would not produce
q surplus as it was now proposed
to pass it.
"Very likely" was the prompt
reply of Senator Jones, "but we
will need surplus to pay off all
the extravagant debts which the
Republican party has incurred
during the past thirty years.
Whereupon Mr.. Hoar sat down.

SENATOR JONES.
The Arkansas Senator Explains The
Sugar Schedule.

SENATOR JONESs
The Arkansas Senator Explains The
Sugar Sehednle.
WASHINGTON, June At 1890
the tariff bill was taken up, the
sugar schedule being pending.
Senator Vest took the floor aud
made an explanation concerning
the controversed point in last Sat.
urday's debate as to the existence
of a Sngar Trust in 1890. Senators
Aldrch and Sherman had contend
ed that the present trust was not
in existence, and that it's stock
was not listed on the New York
Stock Board. Senator Vest pro-
duced some authorities to show
that 1926, 900 shares of the stock
of the Sugar Refining Company
were sold in the market in New
York in 1890, which at $100 per
share represented over $500, ,0OO,-
900. He had as much right to in
sinuate that the Sugar Trust die
tated the sugar schedule in the
Mckinley bill as Senators on the
other side had to impugn the ac-
tion of the majority In the present
Congress. Mr.. Allison (Rep., Ia.,)
followed Mr.. Vest with an elabor~
ate speech on the sugar schedule.
1t was, he said, by far the most
important provision Of the bill. 1t
affords one.third of the revenue
produced by the bill.
Mr.. Allison declared that accord
inb to numerous authorities sugar
could be refined cheaper here than
in Germany and some other Euro
pean countries.
The schedule practically would
prohibit the importation Ofrefined
sugars. 1t was not q schedule for
protection, but for prohibition.
Mr.. Jones (Dem., Ark y followed
with an explanation Of the sugar
schedule. He denied that the Nc
Kinley bill had given the people
one ounce of free sugar. By i'm
posing duty of six-tenths of q
cent on refined sugar /: had taxed
the people $23, 600, 900, all of which
went into the pockets of the re-
finers. Besides S15,00O,OOO had
been paid out of the Treasury in
the form ofsugar bounties, SO that
the total tax on the people of the
United States amounted to $685.
600, 900, of which not one dollar
had gone into the Federal Treas
ury. The duty which 1t was pro.
posed to impose by this bill, he
said, would cost the people about
$50, 100000, of which $4,000. 900
would go into the Treasury, $6, ,OO0,.
600 to the planters in the form Of
protection and $6,OOO,000 to the
refiners. The retiners would get
but one-fourth Of what they got
under the present law.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-The vOt'
ing on the sugar schedule began
promptly at l p. m. The first vote
was on the date amendment fixing
the date when the sugar schedule
shall go into effect and the sugar
bounty be terminated January l,

Henderson amendment was de
feated. Yeas, 80; nays, 40.
