Senate Conference Committee.

WASHINGTON, August 2.-The
democratic tariff conferees did
not make as much progress today
as they had hoped. Good feeling
still exists after the meeting and
there is good reason to believe
that there will be an ultimate set
element, and that tomorrow or the
day following may see the end of
the deliberation. The session
today was devoted almost entire
ly to sugar and although various
propositions were discussed, none
were agreed upon.

Sam Jones on Third Partyism.

The third party or party of the
third part, or whatever you may
call it, may get to heaven, but
they'll never get to Washington.
It's not on the way. Washington
is the wickedest place on earth.
1t is the home of the devil. The
average democratic and republi-
can politicians are little better
than rascals, but the thirty party
man is fool. You can reform
rascal, but did you ever try to
monkey with a fOOls
They want to borrow money
from the government at per
cent, when the government is
borrowing at B. We hear a great
deal of fool talk about the lich
man getting richer and the poor
poorer under our present laws.
There never was a greater lie and
Pll prove it. Shere is nothing the
matter with the law. It's the man
tH0t 10 de Adults 4ucJc y ldW-
yer on that side of the house who
makes twenty thousand year.
Here is a little pettifogger whose
family are starving. The law is
not to blame. Here's a physician
making ten thousand a year.
There is little doctor over on
the other corner that can't make
his salt. The law is not to blame.
l preach nearly every day to 5000
people, and there is a little
preacher sitting behind me that
can't average 200. The trouble is
not the law, brather, noggin.
The difference is organic. If
all the wealth in the United States
were divided out today each man
would get about S1,160, and in
less than six mouths some fellows
would be riding in palace cars
and others would be walking
cross tiesand hoaling for auoth el

The PopulIst Candidate for Governor.

The Populist Candidate for Governor.
The Fayetteville Republican
takes the scalp off the Populist
candidate for governor, after the
following style:
D. E. Barker, of Drew, heads
the Arkansas Populist State
ticket. Barker is the gentleman
who, when State Senator, at
tempted to pass a measure pro-
hibiting female students in the
Arkansas Industrial University,
on the grounds that Fayetteville,
the place where the institute is
located, was immoral and not a
fit place for girl students.
Doubtless he would have sue
ceeded in effecting that end had
not Hon. John Tillman fought him
to finish in that contest. Our
Tillman was too much for him. and
as John stood upon the Senate
floor mastery defending the fair
name and fame of Fayetteville he
showed Barker to be an infamous
liar in his statements regarding
the immortality of Fayetteville.

President Cleveland has more
to say in legislative matters thar
Mr.. German has. He has a RICH,
to express his views whenever he
chooses to do so. In his letter to
Chairman Wilson he reflected the
sentiments of the majority of the
people of the United States
Little Rock Gazette.
The point is not who had the
right to say the most or the least
but, what was the impressions
President Cleveland left on the
minds of Senators Jones, Vest
and Harris, in regard to the
practicability of making a com.
promise tariff bill that could pass
through the Senate. No one has
ever denied the statements of the
three Senators that the President
and Mr.. Carlisle fully understood
that compromise would have to
be made on sugar, iron and coal
before bill could be passed
through the Senate and fully en-
couraged and indorsed their
efforts in the matter. And we
predict, ifa bill is passed, it will be
the bill prepared and presented
for conference by the Senate
Finance Committee.

One Of Their Kind.

Dick Hollis Thursday night
paraded the defalcations of Treas.
urer Woodruff as one of the sins
the Democracy is responsible for.
Here is one of his own kind, who
used the cloak of the church to
serve the d. and rob the Board
of Missions of the Methodist
Church. The following is from
the Pine Bluff Press Eagle:
1t has just been discovered that
j. B. Sutler, former editor of the
Arkansas Farmer, and until lately
a conspicuous figure in the coun.
ellis of the PopuIist party, left the
State defaulter to the board
of missions to the Little Rock
Conference of the NJ. e. Church,
South. He is now in Austin,
Texas. The amount is not large,
only $666.7O, but that is not
Suffers fault. He appropriated
to his own uses all there was OF
the mission fund, of which he was
treasurer. And this is a specimen
of the kind of men our deluded
friends, the Populists, select to
lead them in their Onslaughts
against the impregnable citadel
of Democracy. Barker and
Sutler! What peculiarly suggest.
i've names for the leaders of a
campaign of noise and calamity
bowling, to break into the public
crib and be proyisioned at public
expense, without rendering the
State either honest or reputable
service.

The Coming Cab.

Eastern and Western cities are get
ting to resemble each other so much
that tho few points OF difference be-
tween them are naturally noticed.
About the only difference on the
streets is in regard to the cabs and
hacks, which out West seem to be
built for weight and strength alone,
while in the East the European
craze for lightness is rapidly taking
hold. One or two cabs with tin
plate bodies have been imported.
They weigh less than 1000 pounds.
and arc wonderfully pleasant riding
on fairly good streets, although they
are not very nice when driven rap
idly across street car tracks and OBJ
structions. The English style OF
cab is also getting more common in
the East. and although these vehi-
cles have been held up to ridicule
for more than generation they are
vastly superior to the very heavy
hacks which ply for hire in Western
citias

One of the last official acts Of the late
President Carnot, Of France, was thu

named Jennie Carey, who lives q,
Muckford, Indiana.
Last year while n train on the Par

eral distinguished Frenchmen was
bound for Chicago and the Worlds
Fair, Jennie Carey, who was then ter
years old. discovered that a trestle was
on fire, and that if the train. whicl
was nearly due, ran upon 1t dreadful
wrecks would take place.
Thereupon she ran out upon the
track TO place where she could b.
seen from some distance. Then SHE
took off her red flannel skirt and, wheI
the train came in view, waved it bach
and forth across the track.
1t was seen, and the train stopped
On board Of it were seven hundret
people many of whom must have suf
fered death but for Jennie's courag,
and presence of mind.
When they returned TO France, the
Frenchmen on the train brought Tho
occurrence to the notice Of Presiden
Carnot, and the result was the sending

The Dog and the Doctor.

A good dog story is all the better for
being true. us the following must be
supposed to be, since 1t is related by
General ID. III. AIaury, in his "Recollec-
tons of Ylrginian." The dog in
question wasa black setter named
Toots.
For more than ten years he was one
of mySfamily. He had his mouth on
every Kind of game that ever wore fur
or feathers. He fought with my grey
hounds in many wolf hunt, whipped
every bulldog that ever attacked him,
was bitten by n rattle snake, and
sprinkled by pole-cat, and had as
much senDo as many men, and more
principle.
1t was while he was hunting with
mo that he was bitten by rattler.
l burned the place with gun-powder
and carried him as quickly as | could
20 a doctor. Toots had never seen him
before. but he allowed him to cut away
the flesh and burn him with caustic,
only whining softly from the extreme
pain.
Some time after this he got into q
fight, and was bitten on the same foot.
i was away when It happened. and he
went by himself to that same doctor,
sitting upon his launches, as he had
been taught to do. held up the injured
foot for the doctors inspection and
treatment.

Dusk was falling when John Ander-
son lifted his latch and came in.
The hall lamp was not lit Through
the open dinlug-room door he saw
the table laid for one
He passed into his study, and
looked at his books-those beloved
books that Mary had been so jealous
Of. since they robbed her of many an
hour OF his company! He might sit
at them now as long as he liked
there was no ono to rebuke him, no
one to care il he did, or didn't,
1t was only loves eye that wanted
him, and love was gone.
There was nobody to notice now
If he went ont all askew, nobody to
brush him up, to tell him he was

and go out with him as pleased as
Punchl There was no one TO be
sorry now and look culprit because
she had forgotten TO sew on a
button, for she did all those things
for him herself, and never trusted
the maids. Perhaps he would under
stand soon, when no one cared how
long he read. or how late he sat up,
that her grumbling had sprung from
love-love only-because she loved
him so that she could never weary
of his company. however much OF it
che had.
Mechanically he looked in the
glass. and half lifted his hand to
twist his mou 5tachios as she liked to
see them. and then he remem bered,
aud his hand fell to his side.
Tho cook came awkwardly, with
unaccustomed cap and apron, and
called him to dinner, to which he
went obediently, feeling like a
stranger sitting at his own table,
and with weight of misery on his
heart that rose up to meet each
mouthful and nearly choked him.
What was it that he missed, and
that he was so lost without?
And this is what he missed.
The little railing voice that could
be so sweet and say such true and
tender things the officious
little hand Chat his own swallowed
so easily which never wearied OF
serving him, though often it would
vex his soul by disarrangIng his
table the blithe little pres
euce that never suffered dullness or
ennui to come nigh him, and that
so amply supplemented and filled
out his quieter nature that. until 1t
was withdrawn, he scarcely know
whence the sunshine came 4.
these were some of the things he
missed.
And then ran in his head those
most pathetic lines out OF the Lay OF
Virginius:
"And none will weep when so forth,
Or smile when return,
Or sit beside the Old mans hearth -
Suddenly he sprang up, and went
into his study.
There were writing materials
among the litter, and he seized them
and began to write.
