The Searcy Beacon thus speaks
of the Senatorial contestants in Ar
kansas: "While it is acknowledged
that Clarke is a man of some degree
of brilliancy, and a man of decided
convictions, aggressive and unyield-
ing, yet he is no match for James X.
Jones, intellectually or otherwise.
The trouble with Gov. Clark is that
he has let his lofty ambition over
balance his judgment We do not
blame him for his lofty aspirations,
but his judgment was at fault in
Offering himself to the people
against such a man as James K.
Jones, a man that not only Arkansas
but the whole Nation recognizes as
a statesman and a leader. We do
not censure, only pity, Gov Clarke,
and hope he may live to have his high
est ambition realized but disap-
pointment nut be his lot this time
Hon. j. K. Jones will be his own
successor.

lifelong worker for the success of

A COMPARISON
or STRENGTH.

or STRENGTH
In the event of a war between
this country and Spain we should
not have such an easy thing of it as
some of our boisterous non-com-
batants seem to think, says the
Memphis Scimtar OF course, we
should win in the end, because we are
the stronger in men and resources of
all kinds, but the Spaniards are capa-
bic OF giving US an argument that
will make US remember them for
some time tic come. There are no
drawer people than the Spanish, and
when properly led there is no treason
why their troops should not give a
good account of themselves.
The conflict would be confined to
the sea, after the expulsion of the
Spaniards from Cuba where the
only land fights would take place.
1t is therefore of interest to know
how the two countries compare in
respect of naval power Tt happens
that Spain is one OF the few Euro
pean powers that we outclass in that
particular She has only eleven
armored vessels, against our thirty
seven, and in quality our ships are
also far superior to hers. Tn tor
pedo- boats and gunboats she sur
passes us, and the number of men in
her naval establishment is about
double ours, or nearly 30, coo officers,
seamen and marines. In gun power
however, she is Inferior having a
total of 935 guns against our 1855,
and ours are of far better quality.
The Spanish army (peace estab-
llishmen0consists of 45, 900 infantry,
Is, 600 cavalry, 10000 artillerymen,
and 1000 engineers, to-
tai of 1000. Our regular army
comprises IA, 600 infantry, G, 800 cav
airy, 4, 800 artillerymen, and 5000
engineers, making a total of $4,000.
Spain has a large reserve, of about
the same character and strength as
our National Guard
The Spanish forces, naval and
military, are deficient in organiza-
tion and discipline, while in those
respects our army and navy are as
near perfection as possible Our
officers are far superior to theirs in
general education and technical
knowledge The Spanish cavalry
and artillery are not equal to the in
fantry, which embraces some bat
talions of admirable efficiency, and
all of that arm of their service, in
fact, is of good quality, except that
the soldiers are rather bad marks
men.
In brief, then, we should over
match them on the water from the
beginning, and within two months
should be superior to them also on
land
But anybody who thinks that the
Dons won't fight will be rudely I'M
deceived.

Arkansas. Good roads will do more
for the advancement Of the State
