Mysterious Death at Helena.

A sensation was created in Helena re- gently when it became known that Capt. Allen Banks died from injuries inflicted on his person by some un- known party. About 10 days before he was found in his room in an almost helpless condition, and Dr. Burk was called in. Capt. Banks became para lyzed and nothing was said of his lac erated condition to the physician. His bruises were on his back and were not discovered in the examination. as he was treated for paralysis. After his death an examination of his body showed the real cause of his death. which was brought about by his injur- ies. A jury was immediately impan- elled and an inquest held. A negro named Henry Johnson was arrested, charged with the crime, but he was re- leased for lack of sufficient proof to convict. Many witnesses were exam ined, but nothing positive could be gathered by the jury, and verdict was returned that he came to his death as above stated. Capt. Banks was about 60 years old, and was employed in the stablishment of Moore Bros for about 9 years, during which time he was leading citizen of Helena.

 The democratic party of Arkansas. in con- Nehtlon assembled. renews its allegiance to the clareS as follows:
 We favor bimetallism. and to that end we in- SlSt upon the free and unlimited coinage Of both silver and gold. at the ratio of i8 to | as money Of final redemption with equal legal tender powers, independent of the action of any other nation.
 We are opposed to the issue ofinterest-bear- Ing bonds for any purpose in time of peace

 . we demand the repeal of the present laws dlscredltlng the silver money of the nation and alone
 We are opposed to the national banking sys- teh ana favor only the money of the constitu- tlon and we believe that the power and duty or the government to furnish circulation med lum should not be delegated to any private cor poration
 We favor the collection of an income tax as part Of the revenue of the general govern ment, and we demand the adoption of such con- stltutional amendments as may be necessary to authorize the same
 We reattirm the oft-repeated declaration of the democratic party in favor of a tariff for rev. enue only.
 We are in favor of the encouragement and malntainance of the free common school sys- tenn in this state.
 We endorse the purpose of the Good Roads convention, held in Little Rock, in February last, and the efforts being put forth by it's com mlttee Tor the permanent improvement of the highways.
 Railroads are public highways and the in- terests Of the people demand a constant super vision of their management To this end we favor the immediate creation of a railroad com mission; and the submission to the people of such an amendment to the constitution as may De necessary to remove all restrictions on legis- lat1on on sslis subject.
 The reading of each plank was greet ed by applause, especially the financial declaration, and the report was unani- mously adopted.

CONVICT LABOR.

A movement on Foor to Utilize If in the
 Construction of Railroad
 At recent meeting of the Little MOCK Board of Trade the question of railroad construction by convict labor was considered, and a committee was appointed to draft bill to be presented to the next legislature. Upon the sub- Ject the Arkansas Democrat says:
 At the meeting of the Board of Trade recently communication was read rom L. W. Cherry bearingupon the sub- lect of railroad construction. He cited the Georgia Central as an instance where a road was constructed with con wet labor It is to-day one of the best lines in the South. yielding handsome revenue to the state of Georoia. Ii would pay us to undertake the construc- ton of an Arkansas central by similar means. It 1t should appear on invcsti- gatlon that half the convicts leased out or employed as at present could not maintain the whole. then let such a number as could maintain the whole be employed for that purpose, and the others put to work under proper super vision building a road-bed. Suppose it should require five years to complete the road. it would yiel n revenue larre enough when put in 0 dtion to com pensate for the inconvenience of any delay experienced. The project is feas- lole, and ii the legislature will put it on 1oot we shall soon realize cherished nope and secure a through competing line
