Consistent Inconsistency.

Among the paradoxical posi- tions taken by those who advo- cate the cause of monometalism, perhaps nono are calculated to present a stronger case of contra diction than the following:
 After weary platitudes, abound ing in assertions based on noth- ing and contradcted by all histo- ry and experience, attempting to prove that the opening of our mints to unlimited free coinage at Is to l, and declaring by law silver to be redemption money and legal tender to the same ex- tent as gold, would not affect the bullion price of silver, which would remain at i.fty cents on the dollar, and that thls would be dis honest and precipitate erase, our modern financeers proceed to fire off their "freworks."
 Every one who does not fall in- to their ideas is railed at as doc trinaire, demagogue, and boomer of silver mines. We would like to ask every one Of these gentlemen (and they all use this argument, If 1t be true that we are "mine boom CTS" how can it be that there is any virtue in the leading argu ment, that unlimited free coinage would not affect the price of bull lion. If they are right in that, then bIm etalists cannot be said to be doing anything calculated to enhance the value of mines. If their railing is founded in justice, then the leading argument :. is Q fraud and sham.
 The fact is that our friends oc- cupy positions that cannot be de- tended anywhere along their sham line of battle. Nothing but the corrupt use of money in subsidiz- ing venal press, and in the | thousand forms in which money may be used, could sustain such a cause before the bar of the public judgment single day.
 Think of the mountainous men, daeity of these "wise men of the east" anyhow. After, for a third of century, bending every pow CT of the government in "boom. ing" and enriching themselves and their local interests, they have the audacity, in this connection and when vastly different principle is involved, to wall their eyes and talk with such a show of virtuous indignation about "booming," and protecting silver mines, which happens to be an industry out in the great northwest and not in and around Boston. Their want of consistency unmasks that total want of sincerity both in their professions and their reasoning 1 Press.

THE HOUSE,

At the end of the twenty.fourth ballot Tuesday afternoon, J. C.. Colquitt, of Columbia County, was elected Speaker of the House. Mr, Colquitt is a native of Geor- gia. He was born in 1886, and in 1866 moved to Ark. and settled in Columbia County. Mir. Colquitt's industry, integrity, and devotion to duty won the esteem and confi- denee of his fellow men. He was elected 10 the Legislature in 1885 and reelected to the session of 1887, and served his constituents with much credit 10 himself and satisfaction to them. Again, in 1892, he was called npon to serve in the Legis- lature; and last September was for the fourth time elected represen- taitve. Mr. Colquitt possesses the personal attachments and ability requisite for the distinguish ed position to which he has been elected and it is predicted that he will prove the judgement that called him to preside over the deliberations of the JouSe

TIE following sentence occurs in recent editorial in one of the leading papers of the North Cen tral States: "The colored man has not his rights in the South in schools which are supported in part by taxes paid by him." Just why such Il statement should hnve been made it is diff icult to under stand. The author has either been guilty of ignorance that IS uupardonabie in one who edits a great journal or he has deliberate lv uttered that which he knows to be untrue. The white people of the South have acted nobly and gen erouslv with the eolored schools, and we believe the Negroes ap- preciate the liberality of the whites. The Negro pay &, perhaps, less than one twentieth nf the ta;S- es and has almost, ii not quite, equal advantages. What more could be desired?

MUCH interest is manifested in the gubernational contest in Ten ncssee. It has been intimated that the Republicans in Congress will play even with Tennessee by counting out Southern Congress men.elect if Evans is not made Governor. But this will in no wise affect the action of the Leg islature. If it is shown that Clay Evans is elected by votes legally and fairly cast, he will be seated, but, if such is not the case, no of forts at intimidation will influence the unterrfed Democracy of the old Volunteer State. The contest will be decided with a strict and scrupulous regar for fairness and justice.
 To count out Southern Con. gressman, Republican Congress needs no dire ct provocation. Ol this the Second District of Arkan. sas is Il living witness.

There is G little arrangement Of my
own invention, which many ladies, BIZ
cycle riders, have found satisfactory,
used to adjust an ordinary skirt to q
comfortable riding length. About eight
inches from the belt sew on the seams on
the under side Of the skirt little brass
rings, about the size Of an old fashioned
5 cent silver piece. Then put the rings
between the seams, 50 they are about six
or eight inches apart; then sew on an
other row diagonally opposite these
rings, about six inches lower down on
the skirt Through these rings run a
stout, black, smooth cord, the ends COM
ing ont into the pocket Oh the right side.
By pulling this string and tying it in a
single bowknot, and concealing it in
the pocket, the skirt is lifted, for rid
ing. When dismounted, by untying the
string and giving the skirt a little shake,
it assumes the conventional length. This
device is perfectly simple. The rings
should be sewn on strong and the string
smooth. Mary Sargent Hopkins in

But do what she can to initiate man
A woman's woman for a that.

In sweater and bloomer and a. that,
Rides bike exactly like
What brother rides and a. that.
She may wear bloomers for skirts and a.

Wear mems collars and shirts and a that,
May wear vests if she will, but the fact
remains still

nothing unclean can enter into the king

How may we have clean lives? This

The Psalmist here lays down the only

God y word, that we live in accordance
with it, Gods word IL the only true So
