LEARNING HOW TO DENY YouRsELE

The secret of success is to know how
to deny yourself. If you once learn
to get the whiphand of yourself that is
the best educator Prove to me that
you can control yourself, and II. say
you're an educated man; and without
this all other education is next to
nothing.-Miss Oliphant.

a long jump, and requires quite a sweep Of the imagination to conceive it. However great may be Mir. Hills abilities as judge, the people of Arkansas, outside of astian county, will be slow to believe that one without previous judicial train ing aud experience is deserving of so great a promotion as to-be placed at once at the head or the Supreme. Court. Such procedure is therefore out of the ordinary, f not unprece- dented in this State.
 The contest in Sebastian county resolves itself down to this: With Judge Bryant as it's candidate Sebas- tian county stands a good chance to win, because of his known fitness for the position and his reputation throughout the State; while for the reasons above given there is no hope for Mr. Hill.
 Sebastian county Democrats would do well to bear this in mind as they go along.

HEL dND .BRTlf2ssETF-

The caption of this article does not refer to the picturesque and familiar figure of Senator David B.
 Hill, of New York, or the wild and
 woody coyote from the prairies of Nebraska, ex-Congressman William Jennings Bryan-as one might at first be led to think.
 It has reference to Jos M Hill and Judge Edgar E. Bryantof Sebastian county, Ark.
 Hill and Bryant are much dis cussed personages over in the
 State of Sebastian" just now, and the indications are that the hills and , valleys, towns and townships of that county will be stirred in the early summer as they were never stirred before. The cause of this unusual disturbance in the ordinarily quiet and undisturbed precincts of old Sebastian sweet and sylvan Se- bastian-is due to the fact that each of tue gentlemen named is ambitious to sit as Chief Justice upon the Supreme Bench of the State; and as Sebastian can't come before the Democratic State Convention with two candidates for the same position, the question of Sebastian's favorite for the position must be determined by the popular vote of that county.
 The determination of this question will excite the interest of the public, and thus again it can be truly said that all eyes are on Sebastian But it ought to be an easy question to settle. If Sebastian is to present a name for Chief Justice, that name should be Edgar K. Bryant's. His name is knowIg throughout the length and breadth of the State as an able lawyer and iurist, a pro found student of the law and classics, and as brilliant and eloquent ora tor. Already on two public occa- sions has he acquired a National reputation because of his eloquence, and on one occasion he was the re- cipient q the distinguished compli- ment os being called the second Henry Grady by the Chicago TyiJ- ane. Mr. Bryant is now serv- ing his second term as Circuit Judge of the judicial district in which Se- bastian county is located, and during his term Of office (so we have been informed by able lawyers of Fort Smith) he has evinced eminent legal and judicial talents and attainments and shown himself the peer in legal ability of any lawyer practicing be- fore the Fort Smith bar.
 MT. Hill, the other aspirant, we are told, is a very able young lawyer, but if is unknown to the State ex cept as the author of Sandels < Hills Digest of the Statutes of Ar kansas, which has made his name familiar at least to the lawyers of this State. But he is without ex- perience and new and untried in the judicial field, and his abilities and qualities in that line are yet to be tested. A lean from the private walks of life without judicial experl- .nce to the Chief Jnsticeship of the Supreme Court of the State is ratherl

HORACE GREELEY


 An acquain tance met Horace one day and said: "Mr Greeley, I've stopped your paper" Have you?" said Horace. "Well that is too bad, and the old white hat went it's way.
 The next morning Greeley met his subscriber again and said "1 thought you had stopped the Tiib- une2n "So l did. {" "Then there must be some mistake, said Horace, flor l just came from the office, and the presses were running, the clerks were as busy as ever, the compost tors were hard at work, andthe busi- ness going on the same as yesterday and the day before "OhH' ejacu- lated the subscriber, q didn't mean that I had stopped the paper. l stopped only my copy of it because l didn't like your editorials. :" 'Pshawln retorted Greeley, Tt isn't worth taking up my time to tell me of such trifle as that. My dear sir if you expect to control the utterances of the Tribune by the purchase of one copy day or if you think to find any newspaper worth reading that will never express con victions at right angles with your own, you are doomed to disappoint- ment.
