In the case of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain X Southern Railway company, appellant, vs. The State of Arkansas, appellee, cause ot complaint by grand jury of Drew county was that separate waiting rooms for the white and African races had not been provided at Wi!mar depot. The railway com pany demurred to the indictment because the same did not set up facts sufficient to constitute a criminal offense against laws of Arkansas. The demurrer was overruled and exceptions were taken. A plea of not guilty was entered and cause tried. The court rendered a verdict of guilty and enforced fine of Sl00. An appeal was taken by the defend. ant to the supreme court. The su- preme court reversed the decision of the lower court, because the law does not contemplate requir- ing railway companies to build de- pots at every station, and Wilmar is only flag station.

silver, and then to complain it is of little value? This, with all due respect to everybody, is bordering on the "vulgar lcgerdemain of so- phistry"-it is taking advantage of ones own wPong-it is a com plaint that one cannot see after himself stirring up a dust-it is the logic the wolf used aganst the lamb-it is to allege the source of the stream has been befouled and poisoned by it's mouth-the effect is put before the cause-and in deed Cit is to vindicate oppression by pointing to the dcpravation which oppression has produced. This mode of argument lacks that element without which no human speech or conduct is of value or entitled to one moments respect fairness. This absent, and the words are meaningless and empty. And the cause driven to this kind of assertion must in the nature of things, be helpless, whatever of intellect or high patriotic pur- poses may come to it's support. The friends of silver need not dread or fear such weapons-thev can meet them successfully, 1 am confident, on an part of the ground, any they should put on their armor and gird themselves for the struggle, until it is com pleted to a finish.
 And now and here, just as soon as possible, this controversy should be settled; no more evasion

The Little Rock Democrat IS striving so hard to discredit sil yer with the masses that it is holding up free coinage of the white metal as Populite measure. This, to use phrase, is "too thin, " for silver was good old Democrat ic money in the days of Abraham That good, old Democratic patri. arch used silver as money, and was not in the least wise ashamed ot it.

LEGAL TENDER.

tJlliheTClat-A ppc'A''
 The New York Post, in com menting on the Commercial Alp peals statement that silver dol lar of the United States is worth approximately as mucn as a gold dollar in any market of the world, says this IS true, but .hat the same is true of greenbacks or of the private paper of J. ?. Morgan X Co.,: and then adds by way of ex- planation that the silver dollars in London CT Liverpool can be sent home and used in paying govern, ment dues or in buying American goods but that IS not true that the coinage or legal tender law has anything to do with the mat. ter.
 This is curious statement. The silver dollar can be "sent home and used in paying gov. ernment dues of all kind' and this make it worth q dollar Tn gold
 Why can 1t be used? Because ii bears the stamp of government and is legal tender. It is by vir tue of the coinage and legal tendel laws of the country it possesses this function. The private paper O J. P. Morgan < Go. is not receiv able for custom house dues anG therefore stands on very differ ent footing-it is the promise O responsible firm to pay some thing that is legal tender. It is worth the number of dollars 1t car be converted into that which vii pay public dues and private debts and buy property. The silver coir does not need to be converted in 10 anything but will itself pay al dues and debts. But the silver dollar is worth a gold dollar to |; man in Liverpool, for it will pay custom house duties, it is worth 5 dollar to every man in the United States that owes dollar to the United states or 10 any State county, municipality or individual without reference to its converti bility into something else. It i; trifling with the question to say that its receivability for custom house dues will make it worth I gold dollar in Liverpool while its receivability for all debts and tax es has nothing to do with its val. ue at home.

IF the people of the United States are in real earnest about wanting free coinage of silver, they can get it by uniting with the Democratic party and con trolling tho next election. But if all the little side-shows Of politi- cal faiths flock off in droves to themselves, nothing will be ac- eompllshed. The next National Democratic Convention should be called early in '96 and free sil- yer platform adopted and a free silver candidate nominated for President. This is the winning eaId.

 WASHINGTON, JUNE 1. w. N. Brown, Esq, President of
 the Central Bimetallic League
 of Shelby County, Memphis,
 Tenn:
 DEAR SRI am greatly obliged to you for the special invitation to be present at the great bimetal- lie convention to be held at Mem phis on the l2th and 18th of June" just received.
 There are several reasons, in surmountable, which 1t IS need less to mention, why 1 cannot ac- cept this invitation; but I am none the less in full, direct and unequi- vocal accord with the objects and purposes of the calling of this con vention; and 1 hope and pray it will be a success in all respects, and it's teachings and lessons may meet the approval of our people, and serve to bring the country now debt-ridden and generally depress- ed almost beyond hope, back to the ways and methods ofreal com fort and healthy prosperity.
 Dispassionately y and IS coolly, as l can, rereading, after a study Of it many, many times, the re- port to congress of Alexander Hamilton, as secretary of the treasury, May 5, l791, on the es- tablishment of the mint; following from then, the history of our f. nances and the worki kings of our f. nancial laws on in due course till 1873, when silver, by an awkward Caesarian operations, was merci- lessly torn from the body of our financial system; rereading in llkc temper of the wonderful speech of Senator Beck Kentucky's daunt- less tribune in his day-in which he reviews all these laws, and the whole history of finance in our country, and depicts, in scarlet let ters. this ghastly tragedy of 1873; this speech uttered ln March, 1888, and afterwards reproduced and read in full by Morgan, the accom- plished senator of Alabama, as a part of his ownspeech on the mon ey question in the United States senate in January, 1894; and re- reading once again the speech of MT. Carlisle in 1878, in the house of representatives, fresh from the homes of his constituents in K Kentucky, these views of Mr. Carlisle being afterward used, word tor word. by such command ing men and fearless defenders of their states interests as Senators Coke and Walthall in recent dls- cussion of this question; 1 say, a reperusal and restudy of these noted productions leaves me no room whatever to doubt the exped- iency and the wisdom of the doe Urine this convention is called to promulgate and support.
 Not protesting to know and un- derstand the abracadabra of f. nance, and probably there are no two people who do understand it alike, yet these productions, with the stubborn and unbending facts of history now before us, thrush me rock sufficient upon which to build my politico-fnancial church.

"It is a desperate sturggle, but the masses of the peo- pie realize that their liberties are H danger, and if silver is not remone- tized they will be pauperized. No, the fight will be made inside the Democratic party. The silver men will capture the convention and win inside the party. The silver republicans and populists will go with the silver democracy, and many of the democratic gold standard men will vote with the republican ticket.

cannot help believing that our country is big enough in territory in soil and climate, in all the ap. pliances of the arts and sciences, in all it's different interests of its people, in energy and honesty and in name and character, to fix its own standard of value, without waiting for or dancing attendance upon foregn powers. Let us fix them and these foreign powers can follow, if they will, but let us fix them.
 It is not possible thero is any real basis for the fear sometimes expressed, that bringing silver back to its proper status will cause foreign nations to dump" all thoir silver here and smother us. W here is it, to this extent, to

The emptiness of this charge was fully exposed by Senator Jones, of Ne vada. in his remarkable speech-a very pandect of information on this question and cognate ques- dol States senate in October, 1893; and in that speech Senator Jones showed conclusively, if there were grounds for such fear, we could easily, by wise and judicious laws, protect ourselves against any such efforts.

c o HORSES.

EVEN in winter the horse is better
for outdoor exercise.
TEACH a horse what you wish him tc
do and he will always do it.
IT is said that men working in livery
stables are exempt from cholera.
BECAUSE prices are low is no reason
for starving or neglecting horsss.
The horse shows have done much tc
develop enthusiasm for fine horses.
ABROAD only geldings are used for
city work and the brood mares are kept
on the farm.
ATTEMPTING to drive a smooth-shod
horse over slippery, icy roads is the
cause of many accidents.
IF the young stock are not thrifty
when they go in to winter, we doubt if
they will come out thrifty in the spring.
The s~hrinkage of value of horses last
year is estimated to be over Ss5, 900, 900,
and the total loss in falling off OF
prices will no doubt aggregate 500, 600,
900 since the commencement of the
present depression of values.
THE manner in which a horse stands
still is one of the best indications of
soundness. If he stands with his legs
straight and well under the body there
is not much the matter with them. II
he favors a limb or straddles before or
behind, examine him carefully.-N. Y.
