Under the heading "On with the

the glltterlng possibility of war

stir the blood and fire the fancy a.
like: :of the young and old,' and then
be tells us of how the old warehouses;
and the Young warehouses; would
prance and snort with joy at the
sound Of the buglc. The possibility
of war with England, or a war with
ANYBODY else, will STIR the blood
and fire tho fancy of nobody except
bloodthrs,y savages or the lnhuman
wretches that find io war an oppor'
tunlty for plundcr. The man who
rejoices IN the thought Of such a
bloody business as war between
the United States and England has
n heart that would disgrace the
bosom of a Modoc Indian and is q
living libel TO the human race, The

The Road Question.

The Democrat has for many years
advocated the repeal of our road
working laws as the surest means Of
accomplishing a reform IN good laws.
The people know::that the old road
working system has never resulted
in the Improvement of single rord.
We have had il for more than fifty
years, and 1t has had no effect except
to stand as barrier IN the way of
progress. We shall lever have good
roads until we repeal 1t and build on
new foundations. 10 this end we
hope that candidates for the Legis-
lature throughout the state will
pledge themselves to vote for its re-
peal. This done we can Law the
foundations OF a new system of road
Improvement either by the working
OF the convicts or the imposition of
a tax levied for road purposes. Ir
the opinion of the Democrat the peo
pie generally are ready for change
and for forward movement in be-
half of roads. They are beginning
to realize the fact that nothing so re'
tards tho growth and prosperity oI
our State as the wretched condition
of our public highways Arkansas

10 any student of history it is
plain that the present strain in the
government finances is due to repub-
lican folly. In Mr. Cleveland's
-fir a4mlnistraLion thu s-,eat- nnas,
the heavy tariff made by former re-
publican congress for protection to
capitalists anb manufacturers had
accumulated great surplus. Mr..
Clcvland saw the folly of taxing the
people so heavily on imported goods
only to enrich the already bloated
capitalist, and IN his messages to
congress urged reduction of tariff
and became a tariff reformer.
The republicans again came INTO
p over in the 5lst congsess and IN
order to use the surplus and to have
some excuse for tariff. they managed
to load the conntry down with all
sorts of appropriations and to allow
pensions by the mrlllons whether
Just or not, and soon the surplus
vanished, and when the democrats
came into power again in 1893 they
found an empty treasury, and panic
in the country. Mr.. Clevelanp call~
ed an extra session ,of congress but
as the democrats had come into
power pledged to tariff reform, they
had to make a reduction IN the tariff
IN order to carry out their pledges
to the people. So that with the de-
ticit III the treasury and pledge OF
in reform to the people the demo-
Gratis were nonplused to know wha,
was best to DO, and could not agree,
hence the great panic of 90 came,
and the democrats had to bear the
blame, when the republican party
was the true source Of the great
dilemma.

was visited by a terrible flood to-day
Many lives were lost and great dam.
age was done to property. The great.
est storm yesterday caused the lake tc
rise and food the city. All the water
courses In the valley became raging
torrents and swept over their banks
carrying destruction in their paths
The water invaded the lower portion
of the city rising so rapidly that many
were unable to escape In time and were
engulfed. Others barely escaped with
their lives, leaving their property &c
the mercy of the water. Houses were
swept from their foundations. In sew.
eral cases persons were with difficulty
rescued from the roofs and upper sto.
ries.
II is impossible at this hour to ascer.
tain the extent of the loss OF life or the
extent of the property damaged. The
latter will exceed half a million dol

Heroic attempts are being made tc
rescue those in danger. The flood
came so suddenly and Unexpectedly
