BAILEY 1ND TIE A4K1N.
 SdS DELE YIOA.
lArhansas Democrat 1

|
 The Demoeaut Was correct ia the assumption that the Arkansas dele gation in Congress had good req. sons for not supporting Bailey. or Texas, as leader of the minority. We made this assertion some weeks ago when attention was called to the fact that Bailey had exerted his influence with Reed to have MeRae displaced from the Ways and Means Committee, because, presumably. the Arkansas delegation had seen fit to support another for Speaker at the organization of the House. The Democrat believed that man who would stoop to such small politics was unfit to be the leader Of a great party, and diYining that the Arkan- sas delegation had gauged him prop erly, we felt warranted in making the assertion that the action of our members was influenced by good reasons. Subsequent esents have shown that the minority made a biz mistake in selecting Bailey as leader. His aequiesence to the Re- publican do nothing DO icy has brought disgust aud humiliation to Democrats in every seetion< of the
 
 country The revolt of large number of Democ' atic Congressmen and the passage of the DeArmond ! by the Democratic caucus at its meeting one week ago has opened the eyes of Democrats to the egregious blunder that is about to be committed.
 h this connection we are pleased ! to record Messrs. Terry and McRael IS among the most active in oppos ng a ''do-nothing policy. Theg ire unwilling to submit tamely to he dictation of Reed and Ding'ev, wen though the Democrats are iu he minority, and believe the mi k

 It should be compelled to resume

 the temper of the House it will be. notwithstanding the opposition of  Bailey, who felt called upon Satur-
 day to deny that he wore Reed collar.
 The Republican party is natur- : ally ehangeable with all legislation, and being anxious to shirk its re- sponsibilty has adopted the policy of suppressiog the House, aud Bai- ley Is lending himself to the scheme.
 We are surprised that any Demo crat should follow him. Reed has
 refused, in direct violation of the rules of the House, to appoint the committees, and thus made 1t im- possible for the House 10 do any thing but follow his behests. Is not the duty of the De noerats to force the sltuation2 We apprehend that there will be no great diversity of opinion on this subject among the Democrats of this State, and the course Of Messrs.

TIE Boston Post thus puts the case: Suppose the value of the cloth ix suit of clothes is S10 Under the present tariff the single ad yalorem rate of 40 per cent raises the cost 10 S1f. The new Mckinley or Dingley tariff imposes tax of three and one-half to four times the duty on wool of the first class, 8 to 15 cents pound, and 20 per cent ad vaiorem, according to the price. This would raise the cost of the clothes from s10 to S23 or $26. :"
 Thus it will be seen that the con- sumer viii be forced to pay ct least $l0 more for suit of clothes under the Dingley bill than under the Will sou bill. There were 149,3 votes cast in the Presidential election in &is Sfate last November. Assum-

The lie old edition was a gem from literary, as well as an artistic standpoint, whereas the editions of the otter papers were huge bales ofstupidity and freakish- ness. There was plenty of the Herelo, ut it's notable feature was It's quality. The only thing notice able about the other editions was their quantity"
