yhe Eleetlon IN Arkansas.

Our silver friends are trying today 10
set Up the results Of the Arkansas cleo
tion as an offset to Vermont. II win not
do. There is no parity.
The Vermont election was fought on
the Naaionaa issue. Nothing else was
talked Of during the canyass. There was,
indeed, no other issue. The Popocrats
claimed throughout that they were max
ing gains on the strength Of silver and
even the day before the election they ex-
pressed an expectation of cutting down
the normal Republican majority in the
State through the inroads which silver
was making in the farming vote. When
the vote was counted, it was found that
the Democratic vote was almost wiped
out, while the Republican vote was enor-
mously Increased and the party majority
doubled. The election was quite honestly
conducted.
In Arkansas, the Increase in the Demo
cratic majority, which after all is incon-
siderable, was secured by the most ne
farious fraud. The election officers were
all Of one party and it was impossible
for the opposition TO get their ballots
into the boxes, or to have fairly counted
such as they succeeded in depositing.
The Republican party, as such, took no
part in the struggle. They had no ticket
~ the field The ticket opposed to the
Popocrats was an independent one, com
posed of men most Of whom were but
little known. The Populists scratched
Files, their candidate for Governor, and
voted almost solidly for Jones, as did
many of the sound-money Democrats.
Two years ago, when the Populist vote
reached 24.0o0. the Democratic plurality
was 5000. Four years ago, with a Popu-
list vote of 81, 900, the Democratic plurality
was 5000. This year, with the Populist
vote thrown largely to the Democrats, it
may reach 6o,ooo. Thus it viii be seen
that the Utmost increase in the Popocratic
majority is far less than the Populistic
vote which went over to join the Demoe-
racy- The Republican vote in the State
will be 5000 to 1900. although $4,000 poll
tax receipts have been issued TO colored
voters. many of whom are reported as re-
naming away from the polls. The Re
publican vote in 1884 was 5000, and in
1882 was $4,000
In addition to everything else, there was
q local issue, the liquor question. which
had an important effect. Ali the Chris
tan. Methodist and Baptist churches
held services during m progress of the
Dalloting, and many prayers were offered
for the success of the anti-license cause.
The liquor men won the day by a large
majority.
The Arkansas vote does not offset Yer
mont. Something simpler and nonester
must be found.

WHY LADIES LIKE COFFEE.

Though EEany Admit It Hurts Them.
Many la lies have so great liking
for coffee for breakfast that the meal
seems fat and unsavory without it;
but the muddy complexion which Is

trial and the question is seriously dis

give over the coffee and gradually get
back the lost complexion, or keep on
with the coffee and get on with the bad
skin and make the best OF It,
The disordered stomach and liver
sometimes bring on more serious
troubles To quit the use of coffee is
the only true relief; it contains the
same poisonous alkaloids as tobacco,
strychnine and morphine, although less
in volume. One can use the delicious
hot food drink, Postum Cereal, at
meals and never miss the coffee. 1t

oldest Balkanian families, and two other
mobiles of high military rank. drove UP
to the grand entrance Of the King S

On alighting the party were joined by
Sir John Templeton and proceeded un-
questioned through the lines Of obse-

Prince said haughtily, were obviously

You will therefore be good enough to in

quest an immediate hearing on a matter
OF the utmost urgency"
He took step towards the door lead
ing to the audience chamber But the
officer, a sturdy soldier, who had now re-
covered from his surprise and consterna-
ton, interposed himself determinedly be-
tween the Prince and the door.
Your Highness," he said bIuntly,
