We agree with Governor Culber-
son, OF Texas, that the Populists
for the most part are misguided,
and only need encouragement to be
brought back into the Democratic
fold. When the Chicago conven-
ton speaks out in thunder tones for
the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver, our Populist friends will see
the error OF their way and return
to the Democracy, and there will be
no Populist party IN the South and
West. All well know that the only
hope Of good government by the
white people in the South lies in
the Democratic party.

RAIL ROAD BUILDING.

Arkansas is just now awakening
from its Rip Van Winkle sleep and
is putting up its money to railroad
builders to have new lines tread its
out of the way places.
The latest road to be knocking at
our door for state admission, is the
St. Louis and Fort Smith road,
which is to be built by H. D. Mack
ey, H. A. Havemeyer and Mr. Nc.
Curdy, eastern capitalists.
The road, after leaving St Louis,
is to extend in a southwesterly
direction through Sloan Springs,
by Pomona, in Howell county
Gainesville, seat Of Ozark county;
Harrison seat of Boone county, tt
Van Buren, and Fort Smith, Ark, a
distance of 2l1 miles. The distance
between st. Louis and Fort Smith
via the St. Louis and San Francisco
road is 4l6 miles, and over the Iron
Mountain via Little Rock 5l1 miles.
If this road is built it can get d
haul out of St. Louis and turn it
over to the Texarkana and Fort
Smith road, thus reducing the
mileage again from st, Louis to
Texas points. The Iron Mountain
road has had an uninterrupted sway
over this territory for twenty years
and has made the most of it, but il
will have competitors in the future
we trust that will make them come

Another Doubtful State.

Another doubtful state has fallen
into the silver column. Georgia,
by the vote of her people, has de-
clared in favor of free silver, and
will send a free silver delegation to
the Democratic national conven-
tion at Chicago This is a distinct
triumph for silver, the lines being
tightly drawn. Another member
of the cabinet has been turned
down. Hoke Smith made a bitter
fight, staked everything on the re-
suit and lost. He and Mr.. Carlisle

There are only two men in the city

explained.
Before Jones turned loose on the gam
