WHERE THE DIFFERENCE LIES


When the regular Republican plum
hunters come here from down the
state they wear a look OF confidence
and prosperity. They seem to know
what they want and where to go to get
it. There is no evidence OF uncertainty
in anything they do. -Four lines Of
street railway lead to the Bureau Of
Information and Distribution and
some Of the visitors get so joyful that
they endeavor to patronize all four at
once in their hurry to reach headquar-
ters.
With the Union Republican crumb-
hunters it is different. They look and
act as though they have no business to
be in the city One sees them on the
highways and byways, wearing turn
down collars and look of resignation.
They have no place to go to after they
get here They are out in the cold
world alone, and the hoar-frOst OF Nc
Kinley displeasure rests heavily upon
them. If they are asked where the
cold weather comes from they reply
that il emanates from the White
House. They expect but littlewhen they
come here and get even less than they
expect.
This is the difference between the
regular Republican plum-hunters and
the Union Republican crumb-hunters.

Arkansas is an awfully funny state.
It's Supreme Court has just decided
that husband is responsible for the
debts Of his wife contracted before
marriage. We advise any Delaware
youth who meditates matrimony on
Arkansas soil TO demand from his best
girl a detailed statement of her liabir-
ties, at least, before saying the fatal IT
will" This is a new side to the mat
rimonial question. We have heard of
young men and young women marry
ing for money, and we have heard of
the daughters OF rich and title-hunt-
ing parents assuming the debts of the
husband, contracted before marriage.
but all such actions are voluntary. I'm
der the Arkansas law, however, a girl
who is engaged to a fellow and who
feels sure of her hold on him can make
all arrangements for the appointment
Of a receiver for him the very minute
he leaves the altar rail with her. But.
thank God, that principle OF law only
holds good in the State of Arkansas.
