In view of the grand stand play made by the Governor as an opponent Of lobbyists, il is rath- CT an embarrassing fact that investigation of the YanceY yarn shows that His Exeelleney ad- viscd the Phillips county people to employ q lobbyist at Littls Rock to defeat the Monroe county bill. and hnt i. was the lobbyist So cm- ployed from whom Yanccy received that slOO and the money so obtained was from il fund furnished by Yaneey's own people and from Gov Clarkc's former home Hot Springs News,
 Ii this be true, Coy. Clarke is somewhat of lobbyist himself, If he "advised and consented" to the employment of a lobby ist for the purpose of Gcftating Monroe County's claim against Phillips, and the use of money for that purpose. Gov. Clarke Is as guilty as ahy other corruptionist, and equally culpabln with the Iron Mountain lob by, which he candelnned onlv after it be- came apparent that hc would be laudcd AS n n hero by the editor of the Memphis Com niercidI-AppcaI. If we tuke Prof. Cox's statement in connection with Mr. Yancey's yarn itappears that the only poodle used "oo ii StlHtCtt0i NttJ lnt MoHfue- I0itiipS bill, and that Mir. Yanccy only received 2 portion of the money contributed bv the people of his own county (Phillips) to defeat Monroc's claim. It is really pity that the House investigating committee did not throw little more light on that Monroe Phillips aifar.-Pine Bluff Graphic.
 The House Investigating com mittce was appointed to iHvesti- gate the charges of bribery con- cerning its own members, and the PhiIIips-Monroe county matter leaked out, incidentally, and con cerned only the Senate, therefore, the House committee did not think it their business or duty to go into details in that direction.

factories among us to buy our cot ton and give Us all it is worth and then sell the cloth directly to us and not have so many middle men or spectators, each to take bite out of the pie, until when it gets to the farmer, whose hard labor produced the ingredients, it is a very small affair. Capitalists have reached few southern states, but many, many more will have to come ere we will receive much benefit from them. In Drew Co.,, there are men who have money enough to put factory here, but our government has gotten money matters in such muddle they are either afraid or unwilling to in- vest. There is already quantity of cotton raised outside of the U. S. and can't you see that if we re- duce our cotton crop they will quickly increase theirs and how much will the price be raised or we be benefited: There is no help for the farmer in reducing his cot ton crop.
 The interests of North and South, East and West capitalist and farmer so widely differ, that until the south be strong enough to elect president and n majori- ty in congress we need not expect help from legislation. A north crn or eastern man though he be Democrat will not benefit tfe south. It is folly for the U. $. to follow England unless it wants the farmers paupers, capitalists lords and land owners is England does. It IS very nice for people who have money to lay up to have gold, as it is prettier, finer and more convenient to handle, but for the poor man who only wants money to exchange for the neces- sites and comforts of life, silver or greenbaoks, anything will do so it is plentiful. The U. s. can make anything money and keep it so if it desires to do so in spite of England or any other country, England did not make us free, we are nation capable of self sup port and if England does not ac. cept our money just let it alone it wont hurt us. So much has been said about the Sherman law, our people were very prosperous un- der it. Low tariff may benefit the man who buys a large quanti- ty, but give the farmer . good price for what he raises and he won't care snap for tariff; he can dress himself and family well, add new room to his cottage, educate his children and be as happy as

In the course of a recent lecture at the Surgical Hotel Dr. Hartmau said:
 "Catarrh of the kidneys is a very common disease, growing more and more common each year. The symptoms are pain in the back; scanty, high-colored urine, containing albumen and various sediments; nausea, and sometimes vomiting; puffiness of the face and feet, dropsy of the legs; shortness of breath and general weakness; pallor and dryness of the skin, chilly feelings, alternating with fever and sleeplessness.
 "A tablespoonful of Peru ma should be taken before each meal, between meals, and at bedtime, and enough Man-a,lin at night to produce one natural action of the bowels each day. When the dis ease IS ol lohg-Stahdihg heated Ie- ru ma should be applied to the back in addition to the above treatment, and tho diel consist principally of milk and dry toast. Avoid liquors and tobacco"

ANCHOR LINE CHANGES HANDS.
George L. Allen and John A. Scud-
 der Sell Their Interests.

The controlling interest in the Anchor Line of steamboats has been sold. George l.. Allen and John A. Seadder, :he two largest stockholders, have disposed of their shares to persons whose identity is not known save 10 those immediately connected with the transaction.
 This change of ownership was negotiated by Benjamin W. Clark of the Clark Stuyvcsant Grocer Co.,, 305 North Second street. but this gentleman refuses to state who the buy CTS are. Mr. Clark's connection with the deal is q sell fish one, as he himself freely ad mits. He has been for some time the fifth largest stockholier Tn the Anchor Iine Il grocery business has been mostly with points south of here Oh the river. The high river rates, as compared with the lower railroad tariffs and quicker time have put Memphis, Greenville, Nieksburg and similar points in competition with St. Louis. Mr. Clarks object has been to get this trade back 10 St. Louis, and his share of it at the same time.
 Mir. Scudder anu Mr. Allen did not feel disposed to put any more money into steanboats. They desired To make no change, and SO Mr. Clark hustled around until he found someone to take the stock off their hands.
 It has been rumored among riv- CT men that the Interstate Navioa- ton Co, the new competitive line on the river, was the purchaser, but MT. Clark omphatically denies this, and states further that the same men are H. no way interest ed in it or that there was any combination of any sort between them.
 "I believe" said Mr. Clark, "that with correct management and To yer rate, the Anchor Line can do the business it did prior to 1883. The rate has beon 40 cents a ton and 20 cents a barrel. Cut that to 30 and l5 on way landings as the Interstate people have done on through freight, and business will come back to St. Rouis.

Contrary to the general belief, the last legislature passed many acts of general nature, and ex- animation shows that many of them are good ones.-Ft. Smith Elevator.
 The extravagant denunciations of the recent legislature were nev- CT instigated by truth or patriot ism; there was scarcely member of either House that did not dur ing the course of the session re- ceive fulsome puffs from the very papers that never tired in villify- ing the body as whole. There is as much demagogy in such journalism as there ever could have been in the legislature Dudley.

The Directors of the Hamt

The Directors of the Hamburg an! Southern Railroad Company are going about their work in Il business like way, and are determ- ined to have the iron horse in Hamburg before the end of the present year. They are not wait ing for outside capital to take the matter in hand, but arc putting their own money aud energies in- to the enterprise in way that makes success certainty. The preliminary wind work" is now Il thing of the past, and actual operations by graders and cross lie makers will soon be witnessed along the line.
 The above from the Ashley county Eayle, reads very much as Ii the Hamburg people meant bnsi ness. Ii reads like the old story sf the harvester and the lark. When the harvester concluded to clft his own wheat and not depend npon someone else, the lark de- eided to move out. Now that the Hamburg people have made up their minds 10 build a road them selves. something will be done.
