TIE stupendous cheek of the mono metallIsts is aptly illustrated in the following from the Arkansas Demo crat: Don't be alarmed, the demo- crats of Arkansas will get together next year, and will be as solid as ever. V The Democrat intimates that there is a split in the Arkansas Democracy. It is led to this belief from the fact that it has itselfleft the straight and narrow path. and set itself up to dictate the financial policy of the party, in the very face of the declarations of the or ganized democracy to the contrary.

TIE Helena World thinks we shou


 THE Helena World thinks we should all drop the terms, "goldbugs, ''sil- verites, &c., at the same time ac- know!edging it's own faults. This is most commendable in the World, but what the World, and we might include the Arkansas Democrat and Gazette, needs to learn is, that it is themselves who are out of the fold. The Democ
 racy of Arkansas have declared for free silver, but it is always willing to be tolerant and receive with open arms those of it's members who have been wayward, and gotten lost in the woods. We are glad to see the World softening toward it's fellow-democrats

THE late legislature provided law by which, at the option of the executive committees of the sever al counties, primary elections may be legalized. THE TIMES has ever been infavor of primary elections. as the only means of securing a popular ex- pression. It is a fact, however. that this method has in many instances in the past beeu prostituted, and the sell fish interests uf individuals subserved by fraudulent yates. To legalize the primaries may overcome even the sus- picion of fraud which naturally arises in the minds of defeated candidates and their friends. and for this reason and others, we are heartily in favor of trying tine ef:cacy of the law in o-ll next nominations

VICTORIOUS
They Are Sweeping Through Pinar
del Rto,

Havana, Jan. Tie insurgents to-
day passed into the province of Pinar
del Rio and are now oyerrunning that
province with fire and sword. The
passage IA effected near Batabano at
Pozo Redondo, and Gomez burned the
village Of Gabriel on the way and par
tally destroyed the towns of Guira,
Melena and of Alquizar. The work of
destruction in Havana province has
been al complete as was that in Mat
anzas, and the sugar lands of Pinar
del Rio are fast being put into the
same desolated condition. The whole
island Of Cuba outside of the city OF
Havana is now in the hands of the
enemy. They have not annihilated the
Spanish forces, nor have they routed
the whole army in any single pitched
battle. yet the situation is completely
in their hands, and so completely have
they o~utgeneraled the Spanish that, to
all appearances. CampoS' army might
as well be in Spain for any check IL
puts upon the movements Of Gomez's
army. The latter'S progress has been
accompanied with continual acceSSions
TO his forces by volunteers. and he has
captured enough horses, rifles and ar
tillery to add immensely to the effect
i've strength of his men. He has prac-
tically carried his base of operations
with him. and has usually counter
marched over a different route from
that of his advance, apparently count
ing with confidence upon living upon
the country as he went along. There
is little doubt really felt here that he
will get as much or more sympathy in
Pinar del Rio than he did in Santa
Clara and Matanzas, and the general
fear here is now that, after sweeping
over Pinar del Rio, he viii come upon
Havana from tue west, cooperating
in an attack with the forces of the in
surgents which have been east OF Ha-
Vana for several days past. The adj
vance guard Of Gomez beyond Bata-
banO has cut the line of telegraph mid
cable communication with the eastern
part IF the island, upon which Campos
principally relied for directing his
forces in Santiago de Cuba, Puerto
Principe and Santa Clara.

Huron WINTER works Case.

The supreme court has refused a
Learipg IN the Huron water works
case, and the decision OF the circuit
court is thereby affirmed. This is in
substance that the sale of the Huron
water works and franchise was Illegal
and the city council had no right or
authority to transfer the same; tnat
the amount received by the city from
such sale should not be refunded. Inc
purchase price was S45,OO0s and the
sale was made to the Huron Water
Works company, during the capital 10
cation campaign, and the money used
in that struggle. Several Chicago par
ties are members of the company,
which is now in the hands of n receiv-
er, John II. Miller of this city being
named for that position by the court
q year ago. Suit to recover possession
of the plant was commenced by II.
Ray Meyers when he was elected
mayor three years ago. The refusal of
the supreme court to grant a %rehearing
is received with delight here, and
Mayor Meyers will proceed at once to
take possession Of the plant for the
benefit of the city.
