ARKANSAS.

o. yes, we have heard from Arkan-

his hands with glee when Stuart said:
nThey tell US of victory in Yer
mont. No one expected anything
else. But how about Arkansas
Yes, how about Arkansas
That wonderful majority has dwin-
died down to $3.50, the smallest for
Several years past.
\ But that is not all. There was a
Republican gain of 2O,OOOI
/ Now, Stuart, be sure you are right
! before you again rejoice.
There is more yet. Why would not
Democrats vote the Popocrat ticket
Democratic leaders at Little Rock
say the decrease is due to the fact that
large number of Democrats remain
ed away from the polls, refusing to
! vote because Col. Jones, the Demo
cratic gubernatorial candidate, pro-
claimed from every stump in the State
that he would not support the nomi-
nee of the Chicago convention If he
happened to be gold man, on gold
bug platform.
And lest we might forget when we
see him, it affords us pleasure to re-
mind our most distinguished citizen,
Senator Charles James Faulkner, that
Arkansas is purely agricultural
State.

A Long, Dark Nirht-Day Dawning.

A Long, Dark Night Day Dawning.
The past three years are like unto a
horrible nightmare. A hope that bet
ter days would come has time and
time again been deferred until the
people have become heartSick There
was not glimmer, not one ray OF
light to beckon us ahead. Nothing
but the blackness of thick darkness.
Despair had almost seized upon the
vitals of the Nation. But now the
end seems near. The X-ray of Re
publicanism penetrated Vermont and
Maine and has burst forth, revealing
the fact that the farmers, the plain
people of the country, will stand for
National honesty and National integ-
rity.
What is the result?
Gold, which has been flowing out
in one continuous stream, is now
coming back--a veritable hoodtide.
The doors of the Old World vaults
have swung wide open and the gold
en- stream has started, yea, it has al
ready reached our shores. $4,000.
900 are already here and every in
coming ship is laden with the pre-
cious metal. Now, it is said $50, ooo,,
900 more will come within the next
month.
Why?
The foreigner sees that the election
of Mckinley and the triumph OF Re
publicanism is assured. He knows
that never again will he buy oul
good wheat and corn and meat and al
other agricultural products so cheap.
He is laying in supply and is pay
| ing us gold for it. The $50, 900, ooC
in sight will show as nothing could
how easy it is for us to replenish ou
stock of gold at any time. 1t will d.
more. 1t will either shut the mouths
Of demagogues and political liars Q
else make their venom harmless
Tie people, the people will catch OF
and terrible will be their rebuke whe1
the ides ofNovember roll round.

Inside the building is an air pump

bursting the tank. Other than the

A "Tie" Pass.

Although it is very difficult to Sc
cure pass from the G. NJ. Il st. Paul
people, our popular townsman, Mr.. G.
d. Nichols "stands in" so we'll with
the company that, owing to the fact
that he was out in the interests of the
Howard County Agricultural Society,
Of (which he is the honored president,
they gave him "pass" between Con-
over and Decorah, last Friday. Charley
says as one nears Decorah there are
great many ties to the mile.-Cresco
Republican.
1t seems to us that the Republican
must be very neglectful, unless it was
an error of the type setter, in not men,
tioning the name of their ever ener-
getic and pushing secretary, j. c. Web
ster. We happened to see these two
gentlemen when they left the Mil
waukee track in Decorah, and it is our
opinion that Mr.. Webster was in the
lead, but Charley claims that their OBJ
ject in wearing out the G. Nj. & st. p.
road-bed was to keep j. G. in trim for
that evenings entertainment, and had
it not been for an accident we expected
to see a lively contest.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

Written for the PUBLIC OPINION.
Good people dear, and did yez hear
The good news phwat's jist come round?
Saint Patrick's Day, let all be gay, let every
bugle sound;
From daybreak until midnight, on Uncle
Sans big farm,
Let Erin's sons enjoy the fun, all others it will
charm;
No nation on Gods footstool has done Uncle
Sam so proudly,
Let all don the Green, and be heard and seen
To celebrate St Patrick loudly.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific, and the Gulf
to Winnepeg,
Let us grasp the hand of this worthy band,
and in the procession lend leg,
Ne'er forgetting how they've volunteered to
stay right in the pull,
And If let alone will soon dethrone old Belize
or Johnny Bull.
So celebrate with them this day, while hand
in hand Wen march;
No better band on Columbia's land, for
they've got both sand and starch;
And when Gabriels trumpet shall sound the
call,
To Saint Peter III doff my hat,
I'm from Columbia's shore, open your big
green door,
For 1 belong to old Saint Pat.
Then when time unveils eternity and those
pearly gates we see
With Erin's sons from America, may we
dwell with old st. p.

Go and see it.

"In Old Kentucky, which appears
at the Grand next Wednesday night,
March 25th., is one of the few Ameri-
can plays that has achieved great
financial success. Better than any of
the so-called Southern plays, it promis-
ed to endure for several years. The
story, while abounding in stirring and
sensational scenes, is romantic and
idyllic by turns and is told with a
directness of purpose and swiftness of
action rarely found in plays of its kind.
1t does not depend for consideration
upon some ingenious scenic device or
sensational horror. The incidents and
strong climaxes are led up to gradually
and logically and are part of the
story. Pure sentiment, valorous deeds,
romance, humor and splendid, clean
cut comedy are combined with keen
dramatic instinct. The characters are
drawn with skill. The strength of the
play, or more properly speaking, the
secret of its great popularity is ascribed
to the vigorous and unconventional
manner in which the author has hand
led his material. It's healthful tone
makes it welcome. Its extraordinary
runs both in New York and Boston to
crowded houses give it an endorsement
which is the lot of very few plays to re-
ceive. 1t is not No. 2 company
which will appear here but the origin
al company with all of the original
scenery. Secure seats at once.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
The Franchise Granted to Theodore
Won Rolf.

AT the meeting of the city council
last Saturday night the only question
brought up was that of electric light
ing, and that took up their time until
IL o'clock.
The propositions of the two compet-
ing companies had been before the
council for number of days, and at
the meeting last Saturday night they
were both argued to be the better by
their respective representatives. After
the arguments had all been made, the
representatives retired and the propo-
sitions were discussed by the council,
after which discussion an informal bal
lot was taken to see how the council
stood with the two propositions, which
ballot resulted as follows: five votes
for Theodore Won Rolf and three votes
for Burtis Il Howard. 1t was then
moved by Mr.. Adams that the Theo.
Won Rolf proposition be accepted, and
that the city attorney be instructed to
draw up the proper resolution. This
was seconded by Mr.. Thompson. Mr..
Teskey then moved that the motion be
amended by substituting the name
"Burtis & Howard" for ''Theodore
Won Rolf" This was seconded by
Mr.. Bernatz. The question was on
the amendment, which was voted
down. Then the original motion
came to vote and was carried, thus
granting the franchise to Theodore
Won Rolf.
