manner is part Of the wonderful plan ofthc worlds salvation; whereas the recent Lcgis- lative purchase of 2. W yancey, of Helena, if made at all, was clearly one of prencdi- tatcd pcrhdy and sordd and cold-bloodcd treacbery, without the most distant rcdemp. ton of remorsc. We mean on the part of Yanccy.
 We don't know NIT. Yancev, and don t want to know him, if this story with which he is charged as telling concerning himself is true, or half true; that he would thns be- foul himself and besmireh one-Prof. T. L. Gox-whom We have all known, and still know, as an honorable man. and A perfect gentleman, in every respect.
 We trust and believe our nature is to be forbcaring and just to all, and underall cir. cumstances; but f we haveto bear hard upon any one, it must be upon the stranger, rather than upon one whom we have known long and well-upon whom we have seen tried and never found wautiHg We truly know

W. Yancey charge amounts to. if it amn&nts tc anything. And as the friend of Prof. Cox and as one who fain would not be the enemy of any one else, we will not quietly tolerate it: So let Mr. Yancey carry his damaged goods to another market.
 The above is taken from Black burns Free South, which is pub lished at Little Rock, Ark, and edited by Hon. W. Jasper Black burn, one of the oldest and abIest editors in the State. We know nothing, personally, of the ante cedents of either Cox or Yancry but It seems the matter of bribery has resolved itself into n question voracity between the two; anc the public will, perhaps, never be any the wiser as to the true state of facts

MIDWAY, APIL, 2RlsT., 1895.

The farmers of this section are, generally, done planting corn. Some few have not planted their new-grounds. Most of the farm CTS have planted some cotton, and l see some coming up. Oats are looking well; but are small and need rain. We are needing rain, in this section, to bring up corn, and put the ground in fix for planting cotton. I hear some say their ground IS getting too hard to plough.
 A great many sweet potatoes rotted after they were boded out; and a good many fear they will not be able to get plants to set out crop.
 Gardens are needing rain very mnch, but we are having few early vegetables.
 There is q fine prospect for fruit crop this year-especially, peaches.

Something has been said of the probable shrinkage Tn this state oi taxable values tor 1895, and vari. ous estimates of the total amount have been made. It is unboubted, ly true that there will be falling off in the grand total, but the state land office comes to the relief oi the public treasury, and vouchsa- fes an increase in the business come oted with that department sufficient to cover the shrinkage. Under an act of the recent legisla- ture II, ,765 acres of state lands not heretofore accessible are opened to takers and o00,000 acres of for feitcd lands are made redeemable. Another item includes IA, ,000 acres of government lands and the assessment of lands; or q consider able part thereof, against the own CTS or those redeeming them un- der the law will more than cover any shrinkage that may occur. Arkansas is a great state and her resources are inexhaustible. We could build new state house and never feel the cost. In fact we could succeed in most any great without impairing our credit, exhausting our re7en- ues or resorting to a higher rate of taxation.-Ark. Democrat.

Apr. 9, 1895.

MT. Speaker: As mebers of the special committee appointed to in- vcstigate the charges of bribery, lately made in this body, we beg leave to report;
 In connection with the gentle men of the committee who have signed the report, we tried to probe every avenue through which we had any reason to think we might find any evidence of corruption. The stenographic re- port of all the evidence taken by us is herewith appended, and We fully concur in and approve the suggestion made, that the evi- dence be printed in pamphlet form, that the people of the State may know what evidence there is to justify charges of bribery against members of the House of Representatives, but we feel that, inasmuch as the undersigned mem- bers of the special committee were among the most jealous opponents of the railroad commission bill, that it would hardly be appropri- ate in us to slgn the very gener- ous report of exoneration made by the majority of the committee, all of whom were jealous supporters of the commission bill.
 Respectfully y submitted.

"The Democrat" believes that the gentlemen composing this com. mittee are honorable and just men and that their finding was in ac- cordance with the evidence. If there had been evidence to show that members had been bought by the railroads the committee would have said SOL. R. Democrat.

YouR Uncle Grover has written another letter-this time to lot ot Chicagoins--in which he em- phasizes his devotion to the vel low-metaI or single gold standard policy. As majority of the American people are decidedly Tn favor Of placing silver upon an equal footing with gold we think it is about time Mir. Cleveland was set down as q back number, and let us move right along with the procession and get up man and d platform that will give the whole country justice. Mir. Cleveland may be, and doubtless is, honest in his views; but many a good man has gone wrong and the President is no exception to the rule.
 We want more money, and there is not gold enough in existence to supply our needs, and never will be, and, hence, it is necessary to take silver in partn ership. There fore. il is plain to be seen that the Democratic party can win, and can only win, ill the next Presi- dental election. by nominating q free silver candidate, on a free sil- yer platform.
 So let's do away with all this infernal nousense of talking about "honest money." All mon ey is honest money, Sc long as it will bny what we want and pay our del Is. and silver will do this ey- cry day=in the week and every week in the year. We want gold m silver both, as a basis of our money, and the man who wants less is an enemy to the best inter. ests of his country. whether vii fally or igrorantly.

SOME of the Arkansas papers continue to lambast the legislature. This is no new song.

the charges against the professor be made a subject of inquiry by the Pulaski grand jury, and it is but just to that gentleman to Say that he assents 10 the proposition, and is anxious that the inquiry be made:
 Prof. Cox testlfies: l was em- ployed to electioneer against the passage of the Monroe-Phillips county bill. Mir. Yancey being a representative from Phillips county, worked hard to defeat the bill. He knew my relations to this matter, and there was no se- cret between us in regard to it.. When the bll! was defeated in the Senate Yancey went home, and very soon after his return he met me on the street and said he was the strongest man in Phillips county, and also sald that 1 had many friends over there. He told me that he was going to run for the State Senate. 1 told him that 1 would be glad to see him elected. and that 1 would do any thing I could to help him. I did not tell him 1 would send three or four hundred dollars or any other amount over there to elect him, nor did 1 directly or indirectly say or intimate that he could make $l ,000 or any other sum during the next General Assem- bly,. l nevera pproached Yancey or spoke to him about voting against the commission bill. He told me he had spent money trav. cling on the railroad, and wanted a pass or mileage book. 1 told him 1 had nothing to do with the railroad matters, but 1 would in- troduee him to MT. Deane, which I afterward did. Yancey told me that Wagner wanted something from the railroads, and 1 again told him that l had nothing to do with the railroads. I deny most emphatically that l agreed, pro- posed or offered to put up any government bonds or anything else to anyone to get votes against the commission bill. I had known Yancey several years and was with him often during session, and he talked to me freely about his affairs. He told me number of times that he was badly embar- rassed, and would not have one dollar when the session ended. He also sald that he owed note in Phillips county that was due or about due. He asked me if could do anything for him, and l l finally told him that 1 would give him something out of what l got for my work on the Phillips county bill. I didn't do that as a bribe, for, as every one knows, he was on the same side of that bill as 1 was. 1 gave him the money simply as favor to a man that l was personally friendly with. l have never used, or offered to use money in any work that 1 have done before the General Assembly 1 have a number of friends in the Legislature, and 1 have often met them in social way, but 1 can conscientiously say that 1 have never been guilty of any act ol corruption.

IL should be the pride of every teacher t, place on exhibit the work of his pupils and to enter the struggle for success in gener- ous rivalry with the schools of our sister states of the South. The pride in our schools should be kept alive. Our superb advan- ces in education are a glory unto our people.

The Press urged upon the brib- cry Investigating committee that they do their work with wide op- en doors, so that all the state might know. But no; close every thing up llght, and ill day or two report-a whitewash. Now the people arc making inquiries and insinuations about the com mlttee. It serves them right.
 The above from the Little Rock Press, of the 10th, seems an unjust criticism of the committee appoint ed to make an investigation into the charges of bribery ot members of the legislature by the Railroad. Ii was asserted, on the floor Of the House, by Mir. Yancey. one ot the Representatives ot Pbillipps county that he had been paid Sl00. by Prof. T. l.. Cox, for the purpose of influencing his vote against the Railroad Commission Bill, and the samo gentleman stated that, in h;s opinion, other members had been tempered with. A motion was made by Mir. Jerrc South, a strong anti-Railroad Commission man, that n commit tee of seven be appointed to inves- tigate the charges and report their findings. The editor of this pa per, who was at the time, acting as Speaker of the House, appoint ed the committee, consisting of the following members: Mir. South, of Baxter Co, tie gentleman who made the motion, and who, as be- fore stated, was opposed to a Railroad Commission; Mr. Man ming, of Monroe county, the auth or of the Railroad Commission Bill then pending; Mir. Robinson, of Lonoke county, the author of the original Railroad Commission Bill, which had been previously deteated by vote of 9 majority; pr. Dunnavant, of Mississippi county, strong advocate of the Commission Bills; Mir Broadnax, of Ouachi'a county, the leading spirit in the fight tor the Robinson Commission Bill and also strong supporter of the Manning Bill, Mr. Walker, of Logan county, Popuist, and warm supporter of both the Robinson and the Manning Bills; and Mir. Rogers. of Desha, an anti-Commission man.
 So it will be seen from the above that five out of the seven appointed were in favor of Rail- road Commission; and it is also true and may be further stated as q matter of fact that they were the leaders in the House on their side for those measures.
 With such committee. eompos- ed of as good and true men as the State of Al kansas, or any other State affords, the talk of "white, wash" is altogether gratuitous.
 That the meetings were held with closed doors is true; but we were informed by members of the committee that 1t was absolutely 1 necessary for this to be done in or der to facilitate their work, and | get at the bottom of the whole thing. 4 stenographer was ap-
