THE STATE TICKET.

O Zd
 The Arkansas Democratic State Convention of 1896 will soon be a memory. In many respects it was a remarkable convention-unprec- edented in numbers, remarkable in it's proceedings and remarkable in the number of young men who par ticipated in it's deliberations.
 The ticket nominated is above the average, and in several instances very superior to the ordinary in ad- ministrative capacity, talent and ability. The nominee for Cover nor, Col. Dan W. Jones, is fully up to the average in gubernatorial ability and is not without experience in public affairs. He has served two terms az Attorney General of the State and one term in the Legisla- ture, and is therefore familiar with the statutes of the State and the duties of the Chief Execu- tive. The large vote he re- ceieved shows that he was the choice of an overwhelming majority of the Democrats of Arkansas,s and we have no doubt that he will give the people of this State acaaan pro gressive and honest adninis trati0n.
 Mr. Alex c. Hull, the nominee for Secretary of State, has received q reward he has justly earned Four years ago he was candidate fpFs this position but was defeated by a small majority. When he entered the field this year it was early ap- parent that he would bethe nominee The writer has known Mrss Hull ins timately for the last teny earls, and We know him to be man we'll fitted and qualified for the position for which he has been nominated. Mr. Hull will make an excellent State Secretary; in fact, the State has never had Q better one in the past.
 The Auditors office will be in very capable and competent hands, for iH Mr Clay Sloan the people of Ark ansas will find an intelligent. com. petent and efficient public servant who will look carefully after details and give that office an efficient and business administration, the like of which it has not had in several years. Mr. Sloan as chairman of the com mittee on auditors and treasurers books in the House and Senate for the last six years is already familiar with the duties and details of the Auditors office, and he will prove no novice even in the beginning. Knowing MT. Sloan abilities and talents, we expect him to fulfill to the fullest measure the hopes of his friends, and we expect yet greater things of him in the future
 The other members of the ticket are 'hold-overs, and need no in tro- duction to the people or words of commendation at our hands. Indi- vidaally and collectively their re- nomination is ample evidence of their abilities and fitness to eff ciently discharge the duties of their respective offices in a satisfactory manner to the people.
 Altogether the State ticket is an exceptionally strong one, and will prove satisfactory to the Democratic masses of Arkansas. The ticket should be elected in September by an increased Democratic majority.

A NEW DRAMATIC ERA.


1t Ia stated in dispatch from Lon-
don that the play, The Sign Of the
Gross, which has been running for
nine months at the Lyric, has brough,
In about million dollars. Its great
financial success is all the more re.
markable, because 1t insugurstes a
distinctly new era In theatricnIs, or
perhaps rather return to that era
listed In the service OF morality. The
play Ia an attempt to make Christian
faith a theme for dramatic treatment.
The plot is given in a recent lumber
OF the illustrated American. The
scene is at Rome during the time OF
Nero. The heroine, Marcia, lie a
Christian; the hero, Marcus, a pagan,
In whose hand The execution
Of the imperial DEGREES against
the Nazarenes is entrusted. They
two meet. The heroine withstands all
temptations, finding strength in her
faith. The last act finds Marcus
pleading with Nero for Msrcia's life.
The emperor consents to let the girl
live II she publicly renounces her
faith. This sue resolutely refuses to
do. The holiness OF the girls creed
has 30 influenced Marcus that he hings
honors, wealth, and all to the winds,
and goes hsnd-in.hand with Marcia to
share the martyr's doom.
The play has received warm COM
mendations from people known to be
adverse to the smusements generally
presented at the theaters, and It seems
probable that the Sign OF the Cross
may become factor in solving the
problem of the relation between the
churches and the stage. 1t certainly
proves that the public can appreciate q
good moral play, when offered to 1t.
The author, Mr.. Barrett, has written a
companion play under the title, The
Daughters Of Babylon.

fluence In the battle OF Nc. There are
a hundred avenues In which this nion
could he made operative. A hundred
men, each with capital or credit o.
fifty dollars, ore wholly unnreFsfed to
start into any enterprise singly, al
though they might know OF asoore
where sufficient working capital
properly managed would bring succees.
But the co. operation OF those men
would give five thousand dollsrs-
tufii Client to launch out n successful
business in a good many ways; and IN
some labor would be rs valuable a
contribution as cash; while the result
would be welc mo dividends to all
where nothing lie now coming In, not
80 mention the fairly respectable In
creased field OF employment which
business OF even such small dimensions
wouli insure.
The suggestion comes readily that
retraolng OF steps to lessons that have
been almost forgotten would be profits-
hls for many people in Utah today.
With what has been learned 1t requires
no great financial leader to engineer
such enterprises. What Is wanted
lie the business integrity and ability Of
men successful In ordinary affairs
among the common people. and for
these to come out as leaders among
companions who know their worth
and have confidence in them. There
ought to be plenty OF such men among
wage.earGsrs here who, seeing the
present condition, will recognizes the
moral OF the Greek fable which tells OF
n man appealing to his nations gods
to help him get his cart out OF the
mud, and being rebuked by one OF the
deities as lazy fellow who should
learn to put his own shoulder to the
wheel. that, seeing evidence of HE
willingness to do something 10 help
himself, the gods might bestow their
assistance where 1t would be appre.
ciated.

lnl QUESTION OF LONGEVITY.

At recent meeting ofthe Academy
OF Science, says the New York Medi-
col Record, MIR. II. w. Warner, in
speaking upon the subject Of longevity,
ofiered come data, which are in the
main true. The subject 10 one OF gen.
eral interest. Mr.. Warner sait:
Every person carries about with him
the physical indications OF his longevity.
A long-lived person may DO distin-
guished from short-lived person at
sight. In many instances q physician
may look at the hand Of u patient and
tell whether he will live or die. In the
vegetable as well as in the animal king
dom, each life lakes its characteristics
from the life from which it sprung.
Among these inherited characteristics
we find the capacity Tor continue
ing It's life Tor given length
OF time. This capacity for living
we cal! The Inherent or potential longevi-
ty. U.ider favorable conditions and en-
vironments, the individual should live
out the potential longevity. With UNI
favorable conditions mis- longevity may
be greatly decreased, but with favor
able environment the longevity Of the
person, the family, or the race may be
increased.
The primary conditions OF longevity,
arc that the heart, lungs and digestive
organs, as well as the brain, should be
large. If these organs are large, the
trunk will be long and the limbs COM
paratiyoly short. The person will appear
TALL in sitting and short in standing. Tho
hand will have a long and some-
what heavy palm and short fingers.
The brain will be deeply sea cd ,
as shown by the orflce OF the
ear being low. The blue hazel or
brown hazel eye, as showing an inter-
mission of temperament, is favorable
indication. Thenostrils being large, open
and free indicates large lungs. A pinched
and half closed nostril indicates small or
weak lungs.
In the case OF persons who have
short-lived parentage on one side and
long-lived on the other side, the question
becomes more involved. Ii is shown in
grating and hybridlzing that nature
makes u supreme effort TO pass the
period Of shorter longevity and extend
The life 10 The greater longevity. Amy one
who understands these weak and danger
Gus periods OF life is forewarned aud
forearmed. 1t has been observed that
children OF long-lived parents matu 70
much later and are usually backward in
their studies.
The subject Is, however, not thor
oughly Understood until another factor

A COMPENSATORY OBJECTION.

The way the city administration Is
conducted In the interest OF combina-
ton of members OF secret society, as
set forth In tbs News on Friday, has
led many people to compare notes and
10 realize the accuracy OF the situation
as described. There was one gentle
man, however, an employe OF the
city, who thought the expose objec-
tionable because he felt 1t reflected
on the head OF the depart
ment In which he is en-
gagged. OF course there was no rtflec-
ton on any particular department, the
reference being to the general admin
istratioD. But the gentleman added,
to give Illustration to his claim, "Take
my own case, for instance. The
Mayor tried some time ago to get me
out 80 ss to give the place to member
Of his secret society, but the head OF
my department, who Is also
a member, objected, and l
was retained.'' And there the
gentleman's statement illustrates the
NEWS position. The secret society
man was to get the job, and 1t was
only the action of an influential men,
Der Of the society that prevented the
change OF employees. Secret society in
fiuence determined the statuB quo. And
for the further Information OF the gem
tleman and the public we may add that
to satisfy this Influence the man who
was to have had the Job, now held by
him who was non gratia pertonai
was given another placs specially ore
ntei for him, and which Is an un'
necessary expense to the city. More
than this, the reason why the head oil
the department interveged was be
cause he believed the proposed ap'
pointee was 80 incompetent for thu
position that for sake OF the admins
trstion OF his own department he fell
impelled to retain the present In
cumb bent OF the inferior position.
