Take 1t From Jackson.

THE union of the Democratic party
it must and shall be preserved. Ism
that Jacksonian enough for Demo
cratic battle cry this yearf
Any man can refuse to abide by the
findings of conventions. II he thinks
the reservation of right to bolt neees
sary to the conscientious discharge of
his duty as a voter, all right. But he
becomes a mugwump. In assuming
the privileges of an independent, he
binds himself TO throw off all pretense
of party attachment. He can promise
nothing to a party and cannot claim a
place in party councils.
Above all personal interests and all
disputes over policies of government,
the union of the Democratic party rises
as a great national necessity. To recog-
nize the necessity is to be Democrat
to subordinate the existence of the
party to small ends is to be smaller
than a Democrat.
Union of the Democratic party can be
preserved by good feeling in temporary
differences of judgment; by respect fol
Democratic precedents by acquiescing
in the decisions of Democratic conyen
tions; by stimulating a party loyalty
which will be proof against the arrogant
assertions of the Republicanism.

"A Turkish Bath"

From the Marquette Mining Journal.
The Mining Journal takes pleasure in
characterizing "A Turkish Bath -
given at the Casino last evening as the
finest attraction of the kind which has
visited Marquette. 1t was first class in
every feature, alive with fun and con
spicuously free from anything loud OF
in the least Objectionable. Plot there
was none, but there was long hearty
laugh for every person present in the
large audience and that is something the
dear public rarely obtains for its coin.
Winsome little Annabelle Patrick was
at her best and charmed everyone. Her
acting is intelligent and full of vivacity
McGoogle, well McGoogle was Nc
Google and that end it. Off the boards
he is known as William Ahern, on the
boards he is the finest dancer who has
ever visited Marquette and Joker
whose fun is irresistible. G. j. Smith
is the darkey servant, as black as ink, a
very clever dancer and easily holds his
own with the Irish policeman. The
remaining members of the company are
all good and the musical features of the
evening were especially enjoyable.
Miss May Cunard's solo brought out
warm applause, while Miss Pearl
Evelyn as "Trilby'' won favor with
her sweet face and graceful posing.
Whenever the company or its individual
members visits Marquette again they
will find hearty welcome awaiting
them.

The 0nlyMay.
From the Little Rock pemocrs.


Let US not fear niggardliness or
stinginess ON the part of the people in
taxing themselves for good and useful
purposes. They only need the oppor
tunity to vote the tax. What would
have been tine condition of our public
schools If the the trainers Of the con-
stitution had not inserted the provision
permitting the levy of five mills tax
for the support of the schoolsY That
was one Of the provisions that has been
worth millions to the State. But for
that we should have no public school
system. And yet when it was inserted
in the constitution there was great
opposition to it and it was several years
before the tax was voted to any extent.
But as year by year the people saw the
benefits arising from the tax they voted
it the more willingly. and now the full
limit, five mills. is voted almost with
out exception. In many districts a
larger tax would be voted, thus enabling
the people to have better schools, If the
power to do SO was granted. SO If the
constitutional convention of 1874 had
given the people the poor privilege of
voting a FIVE mill or a ten mill road
tax, there is no doubt that our roads
would have shown the same improve
ment that has been apparent in our
public schools. At first the people
would have been slow to vote it, but as
they saw the fruits Of the tax in
improved roads, they would have gladly
accepted the burden 1t is idle for us
to sit down and expect roads without
money. There is no way to get them
except by money, and no way to get the
money except by taxation. So here we
are. We must make up our minds
that taxation for roads will. in the end,
be a good investment. We must fix it
in our minds that the best way to
advance the price of our farm lands and
our farm products is to put money on
our public roads. No tax, no money /;
no money, no roads. Are we prepared
for the issuef If so, let US demand a
road tax. ~

U, s, Court Bill,

WASHINGTON, March 3.-Senator
Berry today introduced for his col
league, Senator Jones, a bill to provide
further security to persons and property
in the Indian Territory. The bin vests

States Courts of that Territory over all
controversies and suits about tribal
lands and other tribal property, and all
other civil and criminal cases. except

other than those applying to tribal
property, the jurisdiction of the courts
Of Fort Smith Ark. and Paris, Tex.
is not TO be interferred with. The bill
also provides that no act passed by the
Legislative assembly Of either of the Five
Civilized Tribes shall be valid until
signed by the President of the United
States. It also contains q provision for
the allotment of lands in severalty to
the Indians.

George A. Mansfield.

Prom the Ozark Democrat.
His announcement for prosecuting
attorney appeared in this paper last
week. 1t came TO this office too late
for an extended notice. @N
To the people Of Franklin county Mr
Mansfield needs no introduction they
have had ample opportunity to know
him, he having been reared in their
midst and participaI ed in public affairs
ever since he reached manhood. But
we speak of him for the information of
Democrats in Logan and Crawford
counties.
Mr.. Mansfield is recognized as one Of
the ablest lawyers of Northwest Arkan
sas and is thoroughly familiar with the
criminal practice.
His integrity is umimpeachable and
if the Office is placed in his hands
the trust will be faithfully kept. He
will never swerve from the discharge of
duty; neither fear nor favor will
influence him; love of money nor
vindicfiveness win control him in
prosecuting violators of the law but he
will uphold the law with ability
.earnestness and fairness.
His Democracy is of he sterling
quality-he has proved his devotion to
the Democratic party by going ont and
meeting the enemy on the hustings in a
number Of campaigns.
He is one Of the bravest, staunchest
and ablest advocates Of free aud un-
limited coinage Of silver 16 20 I +. and
led the fight for il in the State Demo
cratic Convention two years ago.
Mr.. Mansfield is a young man Of
honor. ability and sobriety, and there
fore we cbeerfully recommended him
to the Democrats OF the district. II

Gov. CLARKE has announced, so says
one of his ardent Fort Smith supporters
that the joint campaign between him
self and Senator Jones is discontinued
for the present, which means that the
guy. has cut off considerable more than
he can masticate, and he intends to rest
up awhile before he submits himself to
the hard knocks he has been forced to
endure from Senator Jones.
And after he thought he had Senator
Jones where he could not answer his
arguments he made a new list OF
appointments. Such underhand work
on the part of Clarke will not improve
his chances.

Through the Fruit Lands.
From the Little Rock Gazette.

From the Little Rock Gazette.
Col. d. E. King, general travelling
freight agent of the Missouri Pacific
railway, brings good news from the
western part of the State. His extended
tour through this State during the past
week has been for the purpose OF
ascertaining present conditions per-
tanning to the strawberry crop, and
incidentally facts bearing on Arkansas
acreage in potatoes. His conclusions,
from practical standpoint, are Halter
ing TO the present year S prospects OF
the State situated along the railroads.
In the strawberry region OF the
Arkansas Valley. which is also the chief
potato district of the State, the prospect
for good crop was never better at the
close of winter The acreage is also
larger this year, which is fortunate,
considering the fact that having
established for good the best reputation
of all Southern grown berries, there
will be a corresponding demand made
up of new buyers from other parts of
the country, not supplied by the state
last year.
Upon the subject of the potato crop
of the State, his determination upon
closely collected data in the premises,
is that the crop of the state, at only a
fair average yield, will be 1000 car
loads. This means product grown in
ninety DAYS. the value Of which to the
farmer will be $500, 900 and the returns
coming in at time when the agrieult-
ural population needs money, and when
| the railroads are idle. And of truth
| taking the time of year and the let up
in freight traffic, there is in a word
supplied the reason the railroads have
| interested themselves in the new
industries, saying nothing of their
common interest in more general
rather than special development of the
| State,

The Race for the Senate.
the Fort Smith Elevator.

From the Fort Smith Elevator.
The contest between Governor Clarke
and Senator Jones for the legislative
vote of Sebastian county in the coming
senatorial election resulted in majority
| for the latter Of 359 votes, very
comfortable majority for the Senator,
and fully up TO his expectations. 1t is
true that for several days before the
election his friends claimed that his
majority would be larger, but their
assertions were made more for effect
than anything else. They were con-
fident of majority but would have
been satisfied with much less than he
received
Governor Clarke and his friends were
equally confident of success, and it was
only when the townships upon which
they relied principally began to roll in
that they lost hope and conceded their
defeat.
Sebastian county would have gone
for Jones had neither he nor Governor
Clarke eanvassed it, but his majority
would not have been so large. AS it
turned out, the joint debate strength
ened the Senator S cause. He gained
at every point where debate was held.
Governor Clarke committed the error
of attacking his record upon the silver
question, which everyone who has
watched the Senator's s career knows it
is perfectly consistent, and he made
equally as great a mistake in adopting
the arguments of the McKinleyites
against the present tariff bill. These
appeals to ignorant prejudice Senator
Jones met with reason and common
sense, and the result was disastrous to
the Governor.
1t is singular that shrewd politician
like Governor Clarke has not yet learned
that aspirants to Office generally succeed
through their own merits, and not
through the demerits of their oppo-
nents. 1t is also singular that he should
have chosen as his main points of
attack those incidents of Senator Jones
career which are the least vulnerable.
1t is asserted that Senator Jones was
largely aided in his race by the Federal
Office holders at Fort Smith. This is
only partially true. Both he and the
Governor had strong supporters among
those who hold Federal positions
here.
Senator Jones had several serious
difficulties to contend with in the race
the hard times, the prevailing feeling
of dissatisfaction among all classes of
people, inharmonious condition of the
Democratic party, and the misrepre-
sentations to which he had been sub
jected by the partisans of his opponent.
Governor Clarke was handicapped by
lack Of knowledge of the subjects with
which he attempted TO deal, and he was
handicapped even more heavily by the
work of some of his fool newspaper
friends.
Senator Jones won in Sebastian
county simply because majority of
her people preferred him to Governor
Clarke.

City Primary.

At the head of our editorial column
is the ticket which the Democrats of
Van Buren propose to elect on the 7th
of April next.
The primary last Saturday passed off
very quietly. A good vote was polled
and only the best feeling prevailed.
As, of course, all could not be elected
there was, no doubt, some disappoint
ment, but the ones chosen are all good
men, capable of filling the offices salts
factorily and will receive the full
Democratic vote-which means
election.
Now, that the ticket is made up, let
there be no ''sulking in the tent
because some favorite did not receive
the nomination, but let all go to work
with a will and elect it by a rousing
majority.
Below we give the vote cast for the
different candidates.

WE cannot help thinking that Clarke
made a great tactical mistake in
charging, as he does substantially, that
Senator Jones is hypocrite and a
demagogue in his support of silver
coinage, and that he wears the mask of
bimetallism only for the purpose of
betraying the cause. If Gov. Clarke
believes this he has the distinction, we
think, of being the only man in Arkan
sas or elsewhere who ever doubted that
James K. Jones was an honest man.
