The methods of

task impossible. The methods of Hallway corporations in freight dis criminations are inscrutable and admit of no satisfactory explana tion from the uninitiated.
 Their freight rates are purely ar bitrary. and regulated more by competing lines, where a pool can not be made, than anything else.
 Of course, the quantity and the Hong haul have something to do with it, but that is no reason why it should cost more per barre, 10 ship a barrel of flour a distance Of nineteen miles than it does 10 ship the same barrel of four a distance of about 800 miles.
 Commerce between the States is regulated, CT supposed to be regu- ulated, by the Interstate Commerce Commission, and a mum Der of States have railway commissions for the purpose of taking eognizance of and regulating commerce within their respective borders. But in ArKan sas we have no State railway com mission, and freight rates within the State are governed only by the imperial will of the managers of the railway corporations doing business therein. From these arbitrary and frequently excessive and extortion- ate rates there is no appeal, nor can there be until the Legislature of the State of Arkansas is induced to en- act a railway commission.
 The experience of Merchant is simply another argument for State Railway Commission, and it is one of the many instances of discrimina- tion practiced in this State3ett tEgsl way of freight rates.
 The only hope for remedy cxaas 1 through a railway commissfon, when such diseriminations and ex9 tortions as that related by "Mer- chant can be reported for correc. tion.
 Until such time the local ship pers of Arkansas must pay what ever rate may be established by the railway corporations of this State.

position.
 He is far more available and stronger than either Bland, Boies or Blackburn. Bland cannot inspire the confidence of the country. He is recognized the world over as one ideaed man, and an extremist on Q single question at that. He could not inspire the confidence of the bus mess world, and with Bland as the leader, the result for Democracy in the November election would be in extreme doubt. Boies candidacy, we dc not believe will take a serious turn at the Chicago convention. He is too old in years, and too recent a convert to Democracy to develop much strength outside of his own State, where twice, by accident, as the leader of the anti-prohibition element he succeeded in being elected Governor Of the State of Iowa. And as to Joe Blackburn, of course, no- body takes his candidacy seriously. Joe has always been regarded as first.rate judge of good whisky and horse flesh, q great fighter and fire eater of frst-class abilities, an orator of great talent at parlor entertainments and on polite occa- sions, but no one, not even in Ken lucky, has ever suspected Joe of possessing those lofty and distin guished traits of perSonal character or statesmanship which go to make up President.
 But Senator ]. K. Jones has been tried and tested He is known the world over as statesman of con- servative opinions and eminent and distinguished talents. His candida cy would inspire confidence. His efforts in the Senate in patching up the differences on the Wilson tariff bill have made him world renowned. He has the respect, esteem and con- Gdenee of the nation, and all-togeth- CT he can poll more votes than any other silver leader the Democrats at Chicago can nominate.
 By all means, let the Arkansas State convention place the name of SenatorJones before the country for the Presidency. It will be the first time the Arkansas Democracy has ever had the opportunity to boom one of it's favored sons for the high est office in the land, and it may be the last. Such rare opportunity as the present affords, should, there fore, be not overlooked.

J. X. JONES FOR PRESIDEAT.
 The GRAPHIC hopes to see the Democratic State Convention when it is assembled in Little Rock this week, endorse Senator James K. Jones, of Arkansas, for President of the United States.
 This is year when silver will be in the ascendency in the National Democratic Convention, and no Cne has worked more indefatigably to that end than the distinguished senior Senator from Arkansas. Senator Jones is as much entitled to the honorS incident to the triumph of that issue as any distin- guished silver advocate thoughout the country.
 The Democrats of Missouri in State Convention have indorsed Bland for the Presidency, the Dem ocrats of Iowa have performed a similar ceremony for ex-Governor Boies, and the Democrats of Ken lucky, not to be outdone by any of their free silver brethren, have presented the name of Joe Black. burn to the country.
 Arkansas should also let the people of the world know that in Senator Jones she has distinguish ed son; in abilities, statesmanship, ard experience amply equipped to occupy the highest position within the gift of the American people.
 In abilities and statesmanship he is the peer of any man in the coun- try who has been mentioned for the
