The Arkansas Election.

Arkansas is among those states
national. but no one has looked to her,
as they did to Vermont and do to
Maine, for an indication of the trend
of sentiment in the country, for she is
neither representative of the West nor
the South. Accordingly no Importance,
practically, it attached to the results,
The reasons for this are obvious. In
both Vermont and Maine the vote is an
expression of opinion. In Arkansas it
is not The negroes who vote there

counted that way. This year $4,000.
$4,000 more than last year, paid their

so they could vote. OF these 15,0oo
the great majority were counted for
the Democratic ticket. Moreover, the
white voters have neither the indie
pcndcncc nor the intelligence of some
of the other Southern states and eX-
Citement over local party issues
obscured others Viewed III this light
the Democratic plurality is not as large
as would fairly be expected. 1t does not
appear that national issues cut much
of a figure in the election, the liquor
question being the most prominent
question. and well calculated to soldify
the Arkansas Democracy. Indeed the
three Rs of Popocracy. rant, riot and
reputation" naturally would not pro
ducc so profound an effect upon Ar
kansas as upon most of the states. even
after the people We're thoroughly
aroused to the issue as it is very
doubtful if they are. Arkansas has
long borne complacently the odium of
having repudiated her state debt, when
in the opinion of many she was better
able to pay it than some other states
that were tempted to reputation and
did not fall. 1t nevertheless appears
that despite the large increase in the
whole vote the Democrats must have
lost strength among the whites.
Four years ago the Democrats had
nearly 1000 plurality and two years
ago 1854, when the Republican vote
was but &C. 55.

Not an Appreciated Dollar.

Seattle, (Wash.) Post -Intelligencer. J
There is a good deal of cheap talk
floating around to the effect that the
farmers are being grossly mistreated,
because If they pay off their
mortgages they will have to pay in a
dollar worth twice as much as the dol
lar they originally borrowed. This is
all nonsense. They will have to pay
back just the same sort of dollar they
borrowed. From all these arguments
about the value of dollar one would
suppose that all the mortgages in ex-
istence were so or 40 or 50 years old.
But they are not. They have all been
given within a comparatively few
years. and the dollars which were re-
ceived for them will buy now Just
about what they bought five or six
years ago. There may be some com
modities which, because of an over
supply or a cheapening in the cost of
production, can be bought for less than
