GOOD TIMES COMING.

There 's every indication that this country is on the eve of an era of prosperity. the like of which has not been known in many years. Even if conditions of trade were not such as to war
 rant this, q measure oi prosperity would come in the natural course of events as reaction from dor maut conditions and as result of the war. But these are to be only factors in bringing about the great wave of prosperity which mnst sweep the country ss it has been swept for the past six or seven years by the wave of financial de. pression and consequent hard times. Optimists see much in the results of the war to restore oonfi- denee and a return of prosperity. It must be admitted that proba- bly, never before in the history of any country in time of war were

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.

Setting aside the efficiency of this governmental official, the honesty of that and the motives of all them. the fact remains that the Amer can public is disgusted and angry with military manage ment.
 The people of St. Louis and Missouri began to go down into their pockets SIX weeks ago for the purpose of helping their soldier boys. Organizations for the relief of tho suffering volun- teers were established even before they knew that typhoid fever was epidemic and that the men were underfed and neglected.
 There was no murmur over the war tax. The people eheerfully shouldered the burden imposed for the purpose of caring adequately for the armies. They bought stamps and paid higher prices for the necessaries of life to enable the War Department to whip the Spaniard and b iced ahl nourish the heroes of the wealthest Ia tion in the world.
 Where did the money goE II t was not misappropriated il must be tied up with knots ot red tape in the Treasury vanlts. The peo- pie have begun to think that there is something rotton about the Government. They have lost con tdence in the ability of their of- ticials to manage & second class war. They feel that someone has blundered, that someone high in authority "doesn't know hls busi- ness" They see their husbands, sons and brothers dependent up on charity for those essentials which the Government should have supplied.
 They are not proud of their na- tional administration. They can not shut out of sight the sick, the hungry and the dead. They may forget resentment in the joy oi welcoming home the returning boys in blue, but they will re, member that tho United States Government is not as "reliable" as they fancied Their confidence is shaken.-Republic.

PEACE PEACE!

It IS with feelings of gratitude to the "God of Battles" that we hail the peace proclamation. A nation, whose history from the earliest ages to this has been mark ed by inhumanity and wrong, has been thrown from its place of power and made to beg for the mercy it has never shown to a beaten foe. The proud and haugh ty Spaniard has been made to humbly beg of the great Ameri- can nation the priyilige of grant ing to the suffering people over whom it has so long held sway the boon of freedom which is the right of overy human being. The young America has caused the old, effete, blood surfeited empire of Spain to bow before it's God given power and sue for mercy, releas- ing to the American spirit ef lib- erty and equality an empire long trodden beneath the feet of ty- rants. Cuba is free. Porto Rico IS free. The inhabitants of the Philippine Archipelago have been taught the way to liberty. In ad- dltion to this the yoke of fanati- cal superstition has been broken and intellectual and religious free dom come with waving banners to take it's place. It is lesson for the world--a lesson that the effete monarchies of Europe and the world may well ponder and be wise. The Young Giant of the West, with foot upon each oi the great oceans, and arms extended from the frozen north to the balmy south, has shown . strength that will command the respect of the governments Of Europe and will draw unto 1t the weak and op. pressed of all climes. stigate Alger's rotten administration Of the affairs of war, straighten him and his out, and then we wiIl join in singing Miriam's great song:

DREW COUNTY'S ELECTION.

Very Little interest was mani fested in last Mondays election and not much over half of the county's vote was boiled. There was no opposition to the Demo- cratic conty ticket, except for Representative and Sheriff.
 Hughes, Democrat, for Repre- sentative, received majority of about 300 over Bordeaux, Popu- list, and Hammock, Democrat, fer Sheriff, received about 6oo over Weatherall, Populist. The election was one of the most quiet ever held in the county.

A GOOD RECOMMENDATION.

A Fort Smith exchange calls at tention to the fact that ex-Gov. Fish back in his last message to the legislature recommended the enactment of n law providing for the removal of sheriffs who should permit a prisoner to bo taken by a mob and executed. We hasten to give the ex-governor credit for his recommendation, and what is more, We reproduce the extract for the benefit of the legislature:
 "The fault lies with the officers of the law, and the situation calls loudly for remedial Legislation.
 "To take human life, even by the regular course of law is de- moralizing, for when the state takes q life which none but the Creator can give. the lesson it teaches is that human life is not as sacred as we might otherwise suppose and as civilized people

GO AHEAD.

The officers of Shafter's corps have organized society of the army of Satiago de Cuba If it dev Hopes an appetite for pensions like that of the Grand Army of the Republic, the country will have to take advantage of its new bankrupt law.-Shreyeport Jour nal.
 You never told more potent truth in print. This war will de- velop a pension list that will final ly swamp the country or get 1t in the same fix that Spain is today.
 We are told that Spain was at one time the proudest nation on the face of the earth and one of the grandest. But taxing the many to supply pensions and pay those favored few big salaries in high places, brought the wrath of the people down upon its head, and 1t soon began to lose power by wars at home until now it is re duoed to the lowest rank among nations. We are rising now to a zenith that we will certainly tum- ble from if we elect men to office who pass laws to rob Us by high taxation to place in affiuance party leaders.-Texarkanian.

should regard it. But for irresrop- sibe mobs to take the life of their fellow men and go unwhippod of justice is demoralizing even to de, bauchery, and is to let loose up- on the community a blind un. reasoning force which is danger ous to every best interest of so- ciety. Any remedy must begin with the sheriff. The essential and controlling element of mob IS cowardice, which, sheltering it. self under the protection of a crowd and the excitement of the hour, gives vent to its murderous proclivities (for it is none the less murderous and none the less COW. ardly because public excitement londs it temporary sanction.
 ''If it were known that the sher- if had every incentive, as well of interest as of duty, to defend his prisoner to the last extremity, eowardice would quail before the danger and we would have no mob murderers. Accordingly l rec ommend that 1t be made the i'm perative duty of the governor tc summarily move from office any sheriff who allows a prisoner ir bis custody to be taken by mob Ark. Democrat.

IT is quite well known that South Eastern Arkansas is one of the best stock-raising sections oi country in the South. The short and mild winters make it easy to shelter and feed stock and with the native grasses and q few forage varieties which do well here, a large herd of cattle can be kept up during the entire year at very low cost.

Mark Twain is the next famous person to be "anecdotalized by the Ladies Home Journal, and the humorist closest friends have sent to the magazine for its next number some twenty odd stories about him, none of which have ever been printed. They are, of course, of the droll sort, but no more funny than the "snap-shot" pictures of Mark which his friends have also loaned the magazine.

Reception to Mrs. Julia w. Jones.

An enjoyable affair was the informal
reception given Tuesday afternoon by Mr..
and Mrs Frederic H. Jones, in honor of
Mr.. Jones's mother, Mrs Julia W. Jones,
the occasion being her S0th birthday ami
versary. The reception took place at Mrs.
Joness home on Canal street. and from 2
until o'clock her many friends thronged
in, glad of the opportunity to express their
love and honor for the old lady, who is old
only in years.
The arrangements were planned and car
ried through in a manner that reflected
credit on the judgment and taste of those
who had the direction of the affair.
The guests were welcomed at the door
by little Miss Della Kelley and were pre-
scented to Mrs. Jones by Miss Estelle Spen-
Ger and Miss Jessie NJ. Bardwell. Mrs.
Jones was assisted in receiving by Mrs A.
A. Nutting and Mrs. f. r. Robertson.
Miss Grace Spencer and Miss Lizzie Rob
ertson had charge of the serving of re-
freshments in the rooms adjoining.
Mrs Jones won all by the natural ease
and grace with which she fulfilled the du-
ties of her position as guest of honor, and
as the other guests reluctantly dispersed it
was with the feeling that hers was indeed
an euviable old age, and with the wish that
they might have many like opportunities
to greet her in the years to come.
