State Democratic Platform

Arkansas, III convention dS-
sembled renews its allegiance
to the time honored prlucl-
pies of the party and de-
clares as follows:
We favor bimetalism, and
to that end we insist upon
the free and unlimited coin
age of both silver and gold,
at the ratio of 16 to l, as
money of final redemption,
with equal legal tender pow
ers, independent of the ac-
tion of any other nation.
We are opposed to the is
sue of Understanding bonds
for any purpose in time Of
peace.
We demand that the gov
ernment shall not surrender,
but shall always exercise its
lawful option to redeem its
obligations in either gold or
silver as may be most conve-
nient.
We demand the repeal of
tie present law discrediting
the silver money Of the ma
tion and legalizing private
contracts payable in gold a
lone.
We are opposed to the
national banking system, and
favor only the money OF the
constition; and we believe
that the power and duty OF
the government to furnish a
circulating medium should
not be delegated to any prl-
vate corporation.
We favor the collection of
an income tax as a part OF
the revenue of of the general
government, and we demand
the the adoption of such
constitutional amendments
as may be necessary to all
Ethorize the same.
We reafhrm the oft-re-
peated declaration Of the
Democratic party Of a tariff
for revenue only,
We are in favor Of the en-.
couragement and malnten'
ance Of the free common
school system in thi: state.
We endorse the purpose OF
the "good roads convention
held in Little Rock in Feb
ruary last and the efforts be-
ing put forth by its commit.
tee for the permanent iii
provenent Of the highways,
Railroads are public high
ways, and the interest of the
people demand 4 constant
supervision of their. manage
ment. TO this end we favor
the immediate creation Of a
railroad commission; and the
submission to the people OF
such an amendment to the
constitution as may be neceS'
sary to remove all restrlc'
tions on Legislation on this
subject.

that one of the six cigars was about
an eighth of an inch shorter than
the rest. I cut it open down the CEN
ter. In the middle there was little
blue substance, about the size of a
pea. Then we opened the other five.
They were ordinary cigars.
1t was easy to see what had hap
pened. In putting the cigars back
into the case [ must have rearranged
them, and the villain had incautious-
ly smoked one which he had prepared
for some one else. I took the lump
of blue poison to the specialist whom
I had CONSULTED in the morning.
After some weeks I had this letter
from him:
envy Dear Mr.. Somers-I have care
fully examined the blue substance
which you submitted to me some
time ago, and have also shown it to
the most eminent chemists of my ac-
uuaintance. We are bound to con-
fess we can tell you nothing about it.
It contains drugs which are quite un-
known to modern science, and L can
only think that Harry Kincald had
picked up some fiendish skill from
the Americans which is very happily
quite unknown in Europe. 1t is a
most fortunate thing that he fell in
to his own trap, as [ feel quite sure
that otherwise itwould have been i'm
possible to bring him to justice.

The LATEST educational agitation is to
institute schools on wheels. 1t is pro-
posed to fit out railroad trains, furnished
with dining and sleeping cars, SO that
pupils can combine travel and study,
balting at various sidings for the study
of minerology, botany, geology, and SO
on. OF course, only pupils having m 1ey
could patronize this scheme to see the
whole country and study it's resources at
the same time. This way OF railroad. >
knowledge into pupils is an advanced
theory of education. If it is proposed to
take the pupils in the railroad schools
out into the region Of train robbers, it
will be also necessary to teach the young
ideas how to shoot. One pleasant fea-
ture of the plan, suggests the New o.
leans Picayune, is that should the schoI-
ars prove refractory it will be very easy
to switch them.

A RAILROAD man has compiled sta
tistics which show that there is only one
railroad passenger killed out of every
1885, 1853 carried ON the railways, and
that for every 1882 carried, only one
is likely to be injured. He bases his cal
culations on the fatalities and CASUAL
ties ON railroads during the last twelve
years. HIS figures show that q mans
chances are such that he would have to
travel 4,406,659 miles before getting
hurt, and go AZ ,588, 1866 miles before be-
ing killed.

The Chicago Times-Herald remarks
A tax of 81 per year upon each wheel
would yield nearly 100000 in Chicago
alone, and would be opposed by very few
wheelmen if it were applied directly to
roadmaking. This is merely one of the
numerous plans suggested for inaugural
ing the movement in Illinois. A collar
a wheel would build more highways
than thousand 'good roads" planks in
National platforms.

A REMARKABLE fact exists in regard to
the little daughter of Mr.. Fletcher Ed
wards, of Elberton, Ga. She is and has
always been a deaf mute. and yet she
will sit for hours while some one plays
the piano. When visiting lady who
plays on that instrument she will take
the lady by the hand and lead her to the
piano, when the chi will take seat,
perhaps at some remote part of the
room, and appear to be quietly enjoying
the music. When the Lady stops playing
she appears to be conscious of it, and
yet she has never heard note. What
is it? Is it vibration, or what?
