ARKANSAS AND VERMONT.

1--WE have had our little Qualification
over Vermont" remarks the Washing
ton Post. but let us be frank. however,
and admit that there was but slight
grounds for glorincation." Vermont
has ALWAYS been Il Republican State,
saws our contemporary, and no one had
the slightest doubt as to what 1t would
do on election day. This year extraor-
binary efforts were made to bring out q
full vote and thereby produce moral
effect The moral effect was produced,
therefore without much trouble. 1t Is
of the opinion. however, that the moral
effect of the result I'm Arkansas has
more than Offset that OF Vermont In
Vermont the result was expected in
Arkansas the result was not-that's the
difference.
latter State was unexpected and for
this reason:
Arkansas Is much larger State
than Vermont-three times as large.
1t has strong, compact and we'll
Disciplined Republican organization.
and there Is. besides. n Populist
movement, which for some time has
been growing in volume and efilcien-
CIV. In Arkansas, of course. as in
every other Southern State, the Pop
nlists are Seceders from the Demo-
cracy,and, as natural consequence,
n much deeper and more pronounce
ed hostility than for, the Republi-
cans. 1t Is a fact. indeed, that the
PoDuists have generally hitherto
acted with the Republicans as
against the Democrats. They have
done so in Alabama, Louisiana,
North Carolina and other States
where the combination offered any
prospects OF success. Under ordi-
nary circumstances. therefore. the
Populist movement has operated as
an injury to the Democracy. cut
ting down Democratic majorities
and sometimes effecting n Demo-
cratic defeat. Hence 1t was expect
ed that the Arkansas election of
Monday would be very close. and
that the Republican moral effect
obtained IN Vermont would be accen-
tuated by a Democratic falling off in
that State"
The Republican programme is one of
great expectations. but small in results.
IN Arkansas thousands of Republican
farmers voted the Democratic ticket
this time. as they will do in November.
The free coinage Issue has transformed
the old party lines and the result in
Arkansas is an example.

GENERAL PALMER AS A MILITARY
DESPOT.

The Knoxville Tribune, writing under
this caption, gives full text Of the order
issued by General Palmer while military
Governor Of Kentucky, and It thinks, as
many others do with It, that Southern
Democrats ought to know whom It is
that the third ticket people present for
their suffrages.
In 1855 General Palmer, the national
Democratic nominee for President, was
military Governor Of kentucky, and just
before the August election OF that year
issued the following order. which II It
should have been enforced, would have
practically disfranchised nearly every
Democrat or Southern sympathizer in
the State. After reviewing the causes for
Issuing the order. in a lengthy and vitu-
psrative preamble. he classes those who
are to be disqualified under four sec
tfons, viz:
a. All rebel soldiers, whether paroled
or not. and without regard to the fact
that they have or have not taken any
OF the oaths prescribed by law or ex-
ecutive or military orders, or have re-
signed under orders, from the head
quarters of the Department of Ken
lucky.
q All guerrillaS and others, who
without belonging to the regular rebel
military organization. have taken up
arms against the government, or have
in any way operated against the govern
ment or people Of Kentucky or any other
State or Territory.
3. AL persons who by act or word, d.
rsotly or indirectly. gave aid, comfort or
encouragement to persons in rebellion.
This applies to all persons who have vol

or guerrilla forces, who have voluntarily

EX-GOVERNOR FLOWER As A
PROPHET.

Ex-Governor Flower, of New York
comes to the front as prophet. The
gentleman has held many positions in
his time and probably filled them well,
but as prophet he is failure. But
hear what he has to say--"Brynn can
not carry more than one or two States
In the South with a possibility OF one
or two In the West The fact is the
Chicago nominees cannot be certain to
carry single State in the Union" 1t
Is not known upon what the gentleman
basis his information. but certain 1t is
that he Is badly advised.
But. after all. does Governor Flower
really believe what he asserts in this
connection. or is 1t another dodge to
help Mckinley?

MRS. MAYBRICK's CASE.

The reports which have reached this
country from England during the past
few days relative to the Illness of Mrs.
MAVERICK. who is undergoing imprison-
ment for the alleged murder Of her hus-
band. is of such character as to lead
to the belief that the unhappy woman
is on fair way to be released. but not
through means of any human agency
The news is that the hand of death
is practically upon her. and that but II
few davs may suffice before the end
shall come. Her case is one familiar to
almost every reader In this country. as
well as in England, and 1t may be added
with safety that ninety per cent of
those who know anything about it
whatever believes the unfortunate lady
the victim Of peculiarly unfortunate
circumstances. II indeed not the victim
OF q great conspiracy.

In reply to the publicatio OF General
Palmer's remarkable order, his friends
say that 1t was issued a long time ago,
and that It is unfair to bring it out
against him at this late date.
This Is, of course. a matter OF opinion,
merely, but despite the long interval, Is
there any evidence that General Palmer
loves the Southern people any better to-
day than In the days OF 1865, when he
was ordering them arrested because OF
their being Southern sympathizers? And
yet he Is asking for their support as u
Presidential candidate. Chapter after
chapter might be written on this matter.
but the foregoing ought to be sufficient
to set Democrats to thinking.

Sympathy.

The Boston Transcript says that a
clergyman was recently the guest Of a
friend who was college president. On
Sunday morning he arose very early and
went out to take walk in the delight
full air. Not soul was stirring at first,
but as the clergyman's steps led him to-
ward the business portion Of the village
he noticed a seedy looking individual
peering into various shady resorts in
turn. He watched him with mild
curiosity, and apparently the other was
not wholly oblivious Of him and
considered that the doctor Of divinity
was up for something. At last, after
the two had proceeded all up and down
the main street in semicompany, the
shabby and blear eyed man turned to
the immaculate minister and remarked,
with infinite sadness and pity in his
tone: "'Tain't no use, pard- All the
