THE IMPROVEMENT IN TRADE.

The London Ironmonger says: This is
a distinctly pleasant feature, and 1t is
not less satisfactory to note that some
employers In the United States find tn M
selves able to concede advances, as con-
sequence Of the much better condition of
trade. In this country we cannot and do
not move so fast, but we are certain
that the majority of employers would be
only too pleased were they able to do
anything of the same kind for their men.
To that, however. 1t is as yet far cry.
We are inclined to believe that there is
well grounded change for the better
but we would warn our friends that II
cannot be talked up into a boom II
1t Is to last and to grow 1t will need care
full nursing, and will be killed by any
attempt to rush things"

LIMA OIL AS AN ILLUMINANT.

The American Manufacturer says.
'The fact is, and we speak with accurate
knowledge. the burning oil from the
Lima crude is a better illuminant than
that made from Appalachian oil. 1t does
not befog the chimney so much, 1t gives
less crust on the wick per hour burned,
the flame does not drop so quickly, and
the candle power is greater, and is main,
tanned at higher point as the lamp
burns. OF course, the Ohio crude does
not yield as much burning oil as the
Pennsylvania, and hence 1t is not SO
profitable to refine, but It yields as good,
II not better, illuminant."

which "Favorite Prescription' was rnen-

jumped to the conclusion that It was a
book. She now knows that DR.. Plerce's

A "Shlpowner" writes to commercial

some steamship owners regarding the
wretched despatch steamer Of theirs
had got in discharging at Hamburg. I
have now to make the same complaint
regarding sailing ships and to draw the
attention Of shipowners to the matter,
as SO many are now given the option Of
Hamburg at a less rate than other con-
tinental ports. A ship in which 1 am in
terested, carrying ESQ tons, lately arrived
at Hamburg, and according to the custom
of the port, 1t will be 35 running days, or
deducting Sundays, 30 working days, be-
fore her lay days are up. This makes the
magnificent record Of S5 tons per working
day, which in these days is simply ridlc-
ulous. II ship owners give the option Of
Hamburg they ought to stipulate for sat

Arkansas Leads all the Rest q
Atlanta.

The Commercial Appeal keeps well
up with the Atlanta Exposition. Its
staff correspondent writing from
Atlanta on the 18th inst. makes the
following nice mention of Arkansas;
THE most impressive state exhibit |
have seen was that of Arkansas. Her fora
and fauna, her mineral treasures and
her manufactures, her statistics and her
history are all set forth so picturesquely
and so comprehensively that the
stranger wandering through the
Exposition is forced to carry away with
him the impression that Arkansas is the
richest of all the garden spots of the
earth. One would think that within
the boundaries of the State every
necessity and almost every luxury of
life is to be had, and that it is veri-
table paradise. where the man who
holds the plow, or the man who throws
the pick, or the man who wields the Ak,
industriously. may gain fortune with
less effort than anywhere else on the
face of the earth. OF course. Tennessee
and other Southern states might make.
If they would, an exhibit as attractive as
that of Arkansas. but among the
Southern states on parade at Atlanta
Arkansas is rivaled only by Florida.
though the latter can show no such
variety of products.

The Iron Mountain Railroad VIII
Make q Prohibition Law Of
Its Own.
From The Texarkanian.

From The Texarkanian.
1t is said that the management Of the
Iron Mountain railroad have under
taken the Herculean task of stopping its
employees from taking their ''nips'
from the bottle, while off duty as we'll
as on, and to this end 1t has employed
spoilers with kodaks who will watch
the saloons at various lay over stations
and when they see thirsty railroad
boy walk up to the counter and call
for beer they get ready and when he
raises the foaming beverage to his
mouth and makes blow to get off the
foam the kodak gets in its deadly work.
The picture is then made from the
negative and sent to the superintend
ent's Office and the culprit looses his
job by the Identification of the picture.
This order from headquarters has kicked
up whole kennel full of raw dog
and if the order is not rescinded there
will be much trouble for the boys. The
railroad should certainly not keep a
drunkard in its employ, but we do not
believe engineers as a class are as much
addicted to drinking as some others as
fully having the responsibility to human
lives in their hands as the man at the
throttle, and if one class are to have an
espionage over them it should be over
all, from the superintendent down to
the boy who calls the different crews to
go ont on their runs.

Beats the World.

The impression that has been made
by the Arkansas exhibit at Atlanta is
well illustrated by conversation
between Mr.. Beekman, president of the
American Pathological Society, and
Mr.. Smith. general superintendent of
the United States Botanical Gardens,
Washington, D. c., as they stood look
ing at our wonderful display of fruits
and other products.
There is no use talking said Mr..
Beekman, this beats the world. -
''If you will say it beats the United
States, - replied Mr.. Smith, II will
agree with you.
mo, Mr.. Beekman answered, lit
beats the world. The exhibit made by
Arkansas at the Chicago World Fair
beat the world and this beats the
Chicago exhibit.
1t may be well to state that this con
versation was not intended for publ
cation but was overheard by by loyal
Arkansan who thought it too good to
keep. .-Ex.

Mrs. JarleY's WaxWorks.

Mrs. farley begs to inform the citizens
of Van Buren, that she intends to exhibit
her famous collection of Waxworks in
the Van Buren, Opera House at an early
date. This collection has been so well
described by the late Charles Dickens in
his Curiosity Shop that comment is
needless here. We are very glad tn
learn that We shall have an opportunity
of seeing this world renowned exhibition.
Mrs. farley was expected here in July,
but she feared the 'figgers might be in
the melting mood if they travelled in the
hot weather she, therefore, slowed
them away in various cool recesses of
our mountain ranges during the hot
season. and now they appear in perfec
ton.

ONE important utteranee of ex-Speaker
Crisp, in his late speech before the
Georgia Legislature, cannot be toe
strongly stressed by the press and people
of the South. He contended that the
next Democratic platform should be
made by states which are expected to
give Democratic majorities 1t is GER
fainly timely suggestion, as the party
platforms have been dominated by Re
publican states long enough. Hereto
fore delegates in the national convention
from Republican Pennsylvania, and
other such states, which have never
contributed an electoral vote to the
Democratic ticket, have run rough shod
over the South and other known Demo
cratic states, and divided the highest
honors between themselves. II the
Republican party had pursued such
tactics it would have gone to pieces long
ago; imagine Maine, Massachusetts,
and Vermont permitting Texas. Arkan-
sas and Mississippi to override them in
a Republican convention. 1t has simply
come to the point where self preser-
yation demands a change on the part of
the Democratic party, for if the Eastern
wing longer dominates it then it will
have to furnish the votes. The South
and West will no longer be dictated and
controlled by the Eastern minority
The free silver and Populists will carry
every Southern state if this change ad-
vocated by Mr.. Crisp is not made next
veal. ar.-Texarkanian.

Hon. W. G.. VNcENHELLER, com
missioner of agriculture, arrived at Little
Rock Tuesday night, says the Little
Rock Democrat, from Atlanta, by way
of Memphis, and departed on the Fort
Smith train for Fayetteville, to spend
Thanksgiving with his family, and re
cuperate from the long strain TO which
he has been subjected at the Atlanta
exposition for the past few months A
rest of several days has certainly been
earned. He is particularly elated over
the sweepstakes gold medal awarded the
State on her horticultural and agricult-
ural exhibits. Ii was universally ac-
knowledged by the judges, by the press
correspondents and the public generally
that this was the most significant award
of the entire exposition, and that the
Arkansas exhibit is far ahead Of that of
any state In quality. diversity and taste
fulness of display. Mr.. Vineenheller
says that the outcome far exceeded his
fondest expectations He felt certain Of
the horticultural award. especially on
apples. but he did not dare expect the
agricultural award. Georgia and other
Southern states did their very best. and
the conflict was sharp among the con-
testants. All the states which We're
foremost in the race for the supremacy
had splendid exhibits which only accent
mates the merits of that which captured
the highest award. Too much credit
cannot he given Mr.. Nincenheller for
the part he has played in bringing about
this great success.

FARMER ALEX. BARROW has on his
plantation negro named j. NJ. Smith
OF whom he is justly proud. Smith this
year rented thirty two acres from Mr..
Barrow, and on this ground raised
twenty five bales of good middling cot
ton, or 400 pounds to the acre. This is
the best average made in Jefferson
county this year, and most probably in
the state. Mr.. Barrow says that this
splendid crop was made by superior
cultivation, as the land adjoining is
equally as productive as that rented by
Smith. The negro had torn up every
stump on his place and his cotton patch
was as neat and clean as a garden.
While Smith was doing this other negro
and white farmers, as we'll, We're idling
away their time, and now are making a
poor mouth and claiming sorry crop.
Smith made money, and every negro
and white farmer in the country could
have done the same. Pine Bluff Com
