Why can we not differ and .tli be DcmocrnjSs The greatest victory Wa have ever won was under platform which, while distinctly re oguizlng bmetal!ism, did mol indorsc the free unlimited and indept adent coinasc ef silver aud under the leadership Of q candidate who was known to be opposed 10 theIaetriue If the next Na- tio al Demoeraue.eonveutton sh Il declare for free silver. that declaration will be the law to all Democrats whatever their opinions may be. Until the party shall declare itself authorita- lively il is uuwiSe and unjust impolitlc and dangerous to our best interests to he asSanting cac,. other on a question upon which there has always been marked difference of opiuion. We are simply manufacturing ammunition for the enemy.
 If the advocates of this narrow and preserip- Ii policy-the men who know that the. are right and that everybody else is hopelessly wroug-would stop to think of the effect their policy would have on the future of the party, there was ever time when toera;ion modcr alton and wise cansersetism were needed in the eounSols Of the party, that is the pres ent.
 The above sensible article is from the Arkansas Democrat. and is the production of Hon. James Mitchell--a man who is a Demo- crat teddy, and has evor been. He takes a sensible view of the situation and his argument will have its weight with reasonable people.

any definite answer he and Russ returned home.
 The plan of Messrs. Hawk and Russ seems to have been to catch Wilson in the act oi passing spurious coin. and have him arrested, but fate decreed otherwise,
 Wilson failed to leave Star City on the ap- pointed day, but weat on the next Saturday, the 20th of ApriD an was detected by a clerk in a restaurant in Little Rock, and duly put in custody
 When this happened, Hawk appeared os Il prosecuting witness, and Wilson confessed to , the whole affair, and as result, .Mr. Hawk and Wilson are both doomed, to suffer alikc.
 AIr Russ had BIO motive greater than assist ing Hawk, who he thought was acting in good faith, to catch Il violator of the law Lincoln Ledger.

Harmonize the Democracy.

4 vigorous effort is on foot to narmonize All the elements of the Democracy O Nv York Exchange.
 Yes, and vigorous effort should be made to harmonize all the ele- ments of the Democracy every where il the Democrats expect to win the next Presidential election. or even many ofthe state elections. The fact is if things go on as they have been going for many more months it will require an eXtraor- dinary effort to are, even, Ark ansas, one of the most strongly entrenehed Democratic strong holds. It seems to be the lnie rather than the exception, now, for one element in the Democratic party to denounee another, and endcavor to drive II out of the party. Men who have grown gray in the service of the party are denounced, and invited to leave ii because they refuse to subscribe to certain doctrines, or permit no1i. aiates to interpret party principles fol them. Minor questions ot state policy are sought, by dictate rial bigots, to be made party tests when, in fact, they may be as foreign to true democratic tenetS as Noyascotia is from Trinidad.
 All of the wisdom of this age is not confined te one set of thinkers and all tho patriots do not belong to one school. Men may honestly and eonscleniionsly differ on many questions and still belong to one political party. But to some peo pie this seems paradoXical, fol they are only endowed with grey matter enough to comprehend on, thing at time, and, unfortunate ly, to only see ene siie of that.
 Ii the Democrats desire to b, victorious in the great poiitica battles which are to be tough next year, there must be conccs sions made and conrilatory argu ments used. Strong men may b, persuaded, but connot be driven True mon may yield to the fore, ol reason. but will never submit {, the shafts of iuvectives and tn passionate outbursts of abuse.

THE LAW WORKS A HARDSHIP,
But the Supre me Court Must Inter-
 pret it as Laid Down.
Validity of Donation Deed Fortified by Two Years P0ssesSi0n-Inter-
 eSting Opinion.

In the cases of John and Eliza Finley ys. Andrew Hogan, Mr. Justice Wood delivered the opin- ion of the Supreme Court yester- day.
 The decision works hardship upon ,hc appellant, but the court can only interpret the law as laid down by the Legislature.
 II seems that Hogan claimed title to certain lands, by virture of donation deed from the State, although Finley had paid the tax es on his land all the while.
 Mr. Justice Wood said, in part: "It is within the power of the Legislature to limit the period for the disturbance of one who holds the actual, adverse, open, exclu- sive and continuous possession of land under a donation deed. They have fixed the period at two years.
 "Section l of the act of January 10, 1857, is a statute of limitations, and those who come within it's terms acquire q perfect title against the world. The Legisla- ture has made no exception in la vor of the owner who has paid his taxes and we can make none.
 "In this case the owner has been deprived of the dominion ov- CT his property by one who enter ed under color of title, by deed good upon the face-thus by the actual occupancy of the adverse claimant, the owner is notified, or has the opportunity upon inquiry, to know that one is excluding him from that possession to which he, as owner, is entitled. The law gives him the right to recover his own from the moment the adverse possession began, and this right continues untll the two years have expired.
 "If the owner negIeets to put the law in motion for the purpose ot regaining possession for the two years and the adverse holder continues to enjoy the possession under his deed for that time, there after his title should be granted and the real owner forever bar red"

A first-class exhibit of Arkan- sas' resources at the Atlanta Ex- position and the organization of a fair asso ciation would go a long way towards convincing the cap ita!ist that this is the State in which to invest bls idle money. The resources of Arkansas cannot be exhibited too often. Where ever displayed they attract more attention than those of other States, take more prizes, and the localities which present the best exhibits always secure the bulk of idle capital seeking investment in Arkansas. In recent articlc in the Kansas City Times the won derful resources of Arkansas were aceuratel y descri bed in very few words, every statement of which will be endorsed by every home seeker who visits Atlanta, should

County Norma Is.

The county normal bill gives the state superintendent of public instruction the authority to estab ltsh institutes in each county. The system Will undoubtedly be very popular with the teachers of the state. The full text of the bill is as follows:
 Be it Enacted by the General As. sembly of the State of Arkansas:
 Section l. That the state su- perintendent of pubic instruction is hereby authorized and empow- cred to arrange for the establish ment of county normal institutes for the white teachers of Arkan- sas, or for such white persons as desire to become teachers in the public schools of this state, beng one for each county in the state, and such additional ones for the colored teachers at such places as may be selected by the superinten- dent.
 Sec. 2 That said superinten- dent shall select principal for each normal institute, arrange a programme for it's daily work and formulate such rules and regula- tions therefor as shall best con duce to the interests of the insti- tnte and the faithful execution of this law. The course of study shall comprise thorough drill npon the principles of the common school branches, history and con stitution of Arkansas, and such pedagogical instruction as shall fully develop the teachers profes- sional, general. moral and social preparation for work Tn the pub lie schools. Special attention shall be given to organization, arrange ment of pupils, use of text books, classification cgrammes, use of school devices and apparatus, dis cipline, punishment and the pur- poses of punishment, also upon the different methods of present ing the different subjects to be taught in the schools, having more direct reference to the rural than to the town schools.
 Sec. 3. Each of said schools shall last for a consecutive term of twenty days each, of each year, at such time and place as may be agreed upon by the state superin- tendent and county examiner. Other pupils of suitable age and advancement may be admitted 10 the institutes at the discretion of the state superintendent and the county examiner.
 See, i For the purpose of car rying this law into effect the sum oi sl0,000 per anum for the next two years is hereby appropriated out of any moneys in the treasury not otherwise appropriated; pro- vided that an itemized bill shall be presented by each instructor employed in these institutes, to.

These old Tennessee and Ken lucky teuds are always breaking out airesh, and ever and anon the public is shocked with an account of some bloody tragedy resulting from d renewal of hostilities. Is- norance and prejudice alone re- kindle these old fires that break forth each generation with renew ei vigor, carving death and sor- row in their path In this enlight, ened age there is no time for men to cherish their wrongs and nurse their wrath with the purpose Of ultimately seeking revenge. It is no longer regarded the character, istic of d brave man to kill fel low man in mortal combat. That day has past and gone, and those who indulge in these fatal eneoun- ters are only looked upon with i'll favor, even thongh they may escape the punishment of the law It is high time these old feuds were be- ing wiped out by the strong arm of the law.-R.

Crops were Ut terly destroyed stock killed and people badly injured The storm only lasted about twenty minutes and did thousands of dollars damage. Even wild turkeys and birds were pelted to acath while domestic fowls were killed in great numbers.

LET every Democrat, in the land. who is an advocate oi free silver do all that he can to see that the free silverites have Il ma jority in the next national eouven- tion, in order that free silver plank will be inserted in tho plat form, and a friond of silver be nominated for President; but in ease that connot be accomplished 7, let LIS not think of bolting. If we cannot get exactly what we want let us get the best thing we can. In our opinion free and unlimited coinage of silver, at the ratio of Is to would be a geod thing for the American people; but II ma i,i ty of the Democratic party should think otherwise, and limit the coinage O. change the ratio, 1t would be our duty as good Democrats to submit to their judg ment. But if the free coinage men will do their duty, we are satisfied they can carry the day and have things their own way
