"Of all the wonderful creatures crea-
ted by the Creator, man was the great
est prodigy. But alas, when look at
the Arkansas man (the majority of
them wonder what the first man re-
sembled. He certainly did not look
like some that meet on my way to and
from school, riding an old poor mule
that looks like it had never felt curry

They generally have such a large quid
of tobacco in one side of their mouth
they look like horse with the big jaw.
Il mean the man not tho mule.) / have
heard it said, if you would go to any
town in this state and watch a farmer
purchasing his farming implements,
you could tell how many girls he had
counting the old woman) by the num-
Der of cotton hoes he bought, and it is
an undisputed fact, the men and boys
will not use hoe or pick cotton if they
can find any excuse; when the ground
is too wet to pillow they will have to go
to town, to mill or the shop where they
will sit all day and talk of crops, free
silver and woman's rights, that means
to stay at home and hoe and pick the |
cotton, pile the corn stalks and burn
them, and cut the sprouts. Ny mother
used to know man, when he was com
PEELED to hoe, would make his wife take |
the upper side Of the row and hoe with
her head down hill and ne would hoe
the lower side. No matter how big a
hurry they are in, if he meets another
Arkansas man he viii stop and ex-
change chew Of homemade tobacco
for one Of sweet, and there they will
talk and spit and spit and talk till dark
or hunger drives them home, and yet
they are always talking about women's
tongues. 1t ia never TOO dark or they !

Senator Dubois Criticises the Presidents
Address-He Compares Idaho with
New York State.

There is still q great deal of talk
among western men in congress about
Mr.. Cleveland's speech at the Home
Missions rally. Senator Dubois, OF
Idaho, said to Star reporter today:
''Mr. Cleveland's address to the Pres
byterian Missions is unseemly, in bad
taste and narrow minded l was born,
raised and educated by Presbyterians,
and have the greatest reverence for
that institution. They would do well
to confine their missionary labors to
the State of New York, if comparisons
of needed fields of labor are instituted.
president Cleveland, as he desires
to be called in this address, says that
the condition of affairs in the west
is such, owing to immortality, that these
communities develop corrupt and I'M
safe territories and undesirable states
Where did he gain his information?
He has studiously confined his labors
and recreations to the extreme east and
its attractions. will not criticise his
methods of recreation or his labors,
not desiring to compete with him in
offensive language.
"Our western people expect filings
from the New York press, and do not
heed them, but when the President of
the United States willfully and ignor-
antly assails portions of the country of
which he is the chosen representative,
he should have knowledge to sustain
himself. We do not, agree with him in
politics, much less in the manner in
which the financial affairs of the gov
eminent should be administered; but
this gives him no decent pretext to at
tack our morals.
at would be well for Mr. Cleveland
to glance at the figures taken from the
last census of the United States and
discover the relative morality of the
state from which he halls, compared to
those which he assails.
"The proportion of paupers in virtu-
GUS New York to those in Idaho are,
according to population, as to l.
'There are 36,877 inmates of benevo-
lent institutions in New York State,
while there is none in Idaho
'The proportion of the population
belonging to churches is largest in New
Mexico of any state in the Union; Utah
ranks second and Arizona third. New
York is far from the head of the list.
"The wealth per capita in Idaho is
81 while in New York it is 81.
SThe number of school children in
idaho is much larger than in New
York state in proportion to population"
