license of SO to the State.
This is an old law. 1t was
passed by the Aakansas as
sembly of 1875. 1t is section
1856 of the new code, and
reads in part as follows:
"a tax of $40 is hereby
levied upon all nonresident
tlappers, hunters, seiners or
netters of fish who may
follow trapping, hunting,
seinirg or netting Of fish
in this State. "
The next section provides
that befor any nonresident
may be PERMITTED to follow
the business Of trapping,
hunting or seining he shall
first procure a license from
the county clerk, and section
1858 fixes the penalty of a
violation Of this act at a SIS
fine. That is the law as
enacted in March, 1875, auG,
futher amended in the fol-
lowing December,
The above from the Com
mercial Appeal has been
handed us by Mr.. S. II.

publish and also expla, r
what it takes to constitute
a NONRESIDENT. In the
general acceptation of term
it means one Who resides
out of the State. "American

the above statute would be
construed according to this
definition.

tricts of Arkansas IN the

it. This is a settled fact

For the payment Of that

THE r &c O RD
BY CJiEs 6 W,Lhit5)N,

A window display in one of
the drug stores in st. Louis,
Mich, has been attracting a
great deal of attention. 1t
consists of various poisons
arranged in different rows
across the window, the eye
being attracted by the
placard; Everything in
this window is poison.
Classed under this head in
one corner are a dice box, a
dime novel and a deck Of
cards. A bottle of whiskey
entwined by the skeleton of
a snake occupies a conspic-
ious place. In the center of
all is perched a human skull
smoking a cigarette.
If the reports of the scien-
ti6ce world. those who have
given the effects of cigarette
smoking careful considera-
tion be true, there is no grea.-
er menace to American youth
physically than the cigarette
habit. 1t has assumed such
alarming proportions that
the wisest statesmen in our
land are giveing the question
careful consi d e r a t i o n.
There will no doubt be some
steps taken by the next
Legislature of our state tc
remedy this evil. Should
such a bill be introduced the
RECORD stands pledged to its
support.

1t looks very f11uCh like the
United States Congress will
recognize the independence
of Cuba. The committee on
foreign relations voted
unanimously last Friday to
report to the Senate the fol-
lowing resolution:
Section l. That the indie
pendence of Cuba be, and
the same is hereby ac-
knowledged, by the United
States Of America.
Section 2. That h e
United States will use its
friendly Offices with the
Government of Spain to
bring to a close the war be-
tween Spain and Cuba.
1t is said that President
Cleveland a n d Seer etary
Olney are opposed to con-
gress taking such a decisive
stand for Cuba's indepen-
dance. II h e Secretary
urged upon the committee
the Importance of delay
that such a course would

Senator }, X. Jones,
chairman of the democratic
national committee, is hav-
ing an investigation made of
the enormously increased
vote polled by tie Republi-
cans in the recent election
in some of w h at w a S
thought to he doubtful states.
Mr.. Bryau was defeated in
Ohio by 1000 votes, yet, he
received 10000 more votes
more votes than were cast
for Cleveland in 1892. Bryan
received $4,000 more votes
than were cast for the repub-
lican governor last year who
received more than 100000
more votes than the demo
cratic candidate Ex, Gov.
Campbell. Il h e increase
over the vote cast four years
ago is $4,000 and 250,000
more than were cast in the
election last year. Il o r
every four in population in
Ohio there was one vote
cast.
Editor Givens of the
Batesville Guard makes the
following statement:
In MICHIGAN Mr.. Bryan
received 50, 900 more votes
than were ever cast before
for any candidate in the
state, and yet was beaten by
$4,000. In Iowa he received
226. 900 votes, being over
1000 votes above even the
republican high-water mark,
and still was bea ten 90. 600
votes. Indiana shows the
same remarkable increase,
In each OF these states the
increase of votes is so I'M
precedentedly large, and the
total vote cast is so far out
of proportion to the very
latest enumeration of popu-
latiou, beiag at the rate Of
one vote for four population,
as to strongly suggest fraud
of the most gigantic char
acter. There is not a de-
mocrat IN the land who does
not FIRMLY believe that Ken.

republicans afte til e

Louisville, a "sound money
stronghold is apparent, and
in the returnes also from the
republican mountain counties
which were held back until
the retures from the rest Of
the state were in and pad

situation required, All this
is to be thoroughly investi.
