Mckinley has already tele- graphed the governors of the States in which the floods exist for infor- mation, and he has already decided to send special mes sage to Con- gress with the object of recommen- dation that such legiSlotion for the relief of the sufferers as Congress may deem fit be enacted without de lay. There are several precedent Is for the appropriation of money for such purposes. In 1890, on the oc- casion of the last flood, $l50, 900 was appropriated.

The paper eked out mlser- able existence until after the cam- paign was close 1, and then suspend ed publication. Recently number of bimetallists ofnatiOnal reputation met in Denver, and arranged for the raising of money for the propagation of the cause of free silver As sooe as their object was accomplished this newspaper tramp removed to N ashlngton. and has new made It's first appearance, vol. no l. In the editorial salutatory of It's editor, iie remarks that it may becOnsidered as new publication or continuation of the Chicago paper, In other words "put your nickle in the slot and take your choice" It Is safe to say that as long as there ls any plunder in sight this journalistic tramp will be omnipresent. Your correspondent Is not advised as to the amount of money in sight at the present time, and is unable to say whether or not it has been divided up into salaries,

 "There has never been time more fitting to recall the great pub lie services and patriotic and wise thoughts of Jefferson, whose last Democratic sentiment (which was contained in reply to an invitation to visit Washington city and join in celebration on the 4th of July on which he died) proclaimed to the world the palpable truth that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor Q vored few bridled and spurred ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of God.

AN IMPORTANT WITNESS IN A MURDER TRIAL BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN
 POISONED.
The Coroner and Physicians Hold ing an Inquest Today and Investigating the
 Matter.

Levenia Walters, colored woman, died under very peculiar circumstances at the place she was visiting, about ten miles west of this city, last night. She was taken with convulsions and the manner of her death indicated arsenic poisoning,
 The fact that the woman was very important witness for the State in murder trial to take place before this term of the Jefferson Circuit Court gives color to rumors that she was poisoned.
 The death and suspicious eircum stances surrounding it were re ported to Coroner Cook, and he, in company with physician, left for the scene this morning and will hold an inquest to ascertain the true cause of the woman's death.
 On the 9th day of last January Henry Ellison, eolored, shot and instantly killed Susanna Conyers, at a place several miles west of this city. Ellison claimed that the shoot ing was accidental; but, Levenia Walters, sister of the woman killed, who was present at the time of the shooting, testified that tthe shooting was intentional, and done with the intent to kill. On her evi- denee, mainly, and some suspicious circumstances, Ellison was indicted for murder in the first degree. Owing to tne absence Of witnesses, the ease, at the last session of the court, was continued until this term. And now, as the circumstances indicate it, the States main witness has been removed from earth by violence, to prevent her from testi- flying.

PROF. t4lNsMoN
Urged by an Exchange for the Presidency
 of Galloway College.

l "The Board of TrhsyacSg If GaIlo-
 way College are now looking around for a suitable president for that insti- tuition. The selection made for this important position will have all to do with the future success of this pride of Arkansas Methodism. It seems to us that the exlzency needs a man gifted with sound busi- nens judgment and executive capac- ity, who is at the same time a scholar and successful school man. We could never see why the presidep- ey of our church female colleges should he monopollzed by the clergy. In fact we believesthat experiences teaches that as rule the laymen of the church make better financial success of these institutions han the clergy
 If the Board of Trustees If Gallo way College can induce Sutt. ] fl. Hinemon, of the Piue Bluff city schools, to accept the presidency of that institution, we believe that in very short time the college would be rescued from tie slough of finan- clal despondency in which 1t Is now fioundsring, and placed on the high way to increased usefulness and prosperity
 The above deserved compliment to Prof. Hinemon is from the Month cellonlan, published at Mot ticeIlo, Ark, where Prof. Hinemon former ly lived and where the Hinemon University. which bears his name, is located.
 Prof. Hinemon is amply qualified for the presidency of Galloway, or any other college, and k sufficiently possessed of business energy to pull that educational institution out of the slough of despond."
 But Prof. Hinemon, as Snperin- tendent of the Pine Bluff public schools, is already at the head of one of the leading educational insti- tutlons of the State, and has no de- sire or intention, 50 far as we are advised. of giving up his job '
