"Since the report came from Washington that 100. .0O0 volunteers would be mustered out of the ser vice within the next thirty days there has been a great deal of guessing going hereabouts as to whether the two Arkansas regl- ments would be included among the organizations to be relieved from further duty. According to private advices from the seat of government the Arkansas regi- ments are liable to remain m ser vice for some time to come and may be assigned to garrison duty either in Cuba or Porto Rico."- Arkansas Gazette.
 The list of volunteer regiments thus far selected to be mustered out, does not include either of the Arkansas regiments.

ne Warren Democrat.N ews complains that in the trial of a c.sse in the Circuit court there re- gently lots of men were excused from service on the jury if they answered the question, "Are you a subscriber to the Democrat News?" in the affirmative. In the opinion of the Democrat to have read newspaper account of a crime IS no grounds for disqualifi- cation to serve on a jury. In some courts it is customary to excuse those who have read the news- paper accounts of cases on trial, L blt there IS in fact no law 10 justify such practice. In some sections of the country the criminal courts have had the courage 10 rule that I man is not disqualified for jury wv ho 'u"ttct HUN WucH ue may have read about the case in point, provided he says on his oath that he is not biased nor preju- diced, and can render a true yer. diet according to the law and evi. dence. This is good common sense and the courts of. this state ought 10 enforce such a rule. " hen newspaper readers are ex- c'nded from iuries the tendency is tp leave the trial and disposition os important matters to the judg- ment of ignorant and incompetent men. This is the kind of a jury most desired by men who are guilty of desperate crimes, for it is easier for a skilled lawyer to play upon the prejudlces and sympa. thles of ignorant men and thus se. cure an acquittal. It is better for the state, however, and better for society in general, that criminal cases as we'll as all others be tried 6y men who are really able to ladge between facts and manufac- fared evidence, and who are able te understand the law when ex- pounded by the court Democrat.

 Every enterprising merchant now in business. or who contemplates entering the field, should set aside a liberal sum for advertising purposes. He should calculate his necessary expenses. and reu., clerk hire, lights, fuel. insurance and taxes should be no more import ant items in the list than advertising. From g 50 to $50 per month, accord ing to the capital invested, should be included in your estimate of necessary expenses. and this item should not be c,ftsied any more than any of the other items above enumerated should be curtailed. The payment of adver- sing bills should not be "a thorn in the flesh" or a cause for a moments regret. any more so than the item of rent or clerk hire. Keeping ever Iastingly at it brings success.'

Bryan in 1900.

says the Gazette, an effort IS being made to make the country believe that the silver issue is dead and that the democracy must look to some other leader besides MT. Bryan in 1900. The next presi- dcntial election is two years off. It is early yet to predict with any certainty what new issues may then be before the country, but If we arc to judge the next two years by the two that have just passed, both silver and Mir. Bryan will be very much in evidence at that time. Were the democratic na. tional convention to be held to- day Mir. Bryan would be re-nomi- mated by exclamation and tbo Chi cago platform endorsed without opposition.
 The formal action of the demo. cratic state conventions held sv far during the present year testify to the truth of this statement. All the individual changes have been from the gold standard faction to the free silver element, while there IS no record of prominent free silver advocate of 1896 becoming a gold democrat in 1898. The net result so far indicates that the democracy is moro firmly pledged to free silver coinage at the pres ent time than ever before. While the democratic conventions of Rhode Island, Maryland and Con- necticut were silent on the subject, the conventions of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Illinois, Vermont. Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ala bama, Georgia, Texas, Arkansas and other states have spoken in support ofthe Chicago platfrom, Bryan and l6 to l in 1900. Estates which would have a maj jority of the dele. gates in national! convention, i" says the secretary of the Illinois democratic state convention, "have already declared in their state con. ventions in favor of free silver and no state has declared opposi. ton to it."
 This is the situation at the pres. ent tune, and yet Mir. Bryan may not be the democratic candidate in 1900. While in Chicago short tune prior to his departure for the war, Col. Bryan used this language in talking to a friend:
 l do not intend to pose as can. didate four years. Some of my friends have advised me to do this or not 10 do that, saying 1 might hurt my chances for renomination To these suggestions I replied thai l would do as 1 thought right, and what l thought best, without re gard to possible nomination in 1900. When the time comes it may be found that some other man would be considered stronger candidate than 1, and in such an event l wall be glad to stand aside and will be the first man to ad. wise the. nomination of the strong est candidate that can be found.
 Well said. Mir. Bryan is an American. He is gentleman of spotless character. He IS brave and has the courage of his convic. tions. Ho Is true 10 his country, truc to his friends, true to the right as he views it. Perhaps some other leader may be taken by the democracy in 1900. If so, he IS yet to be found. But the free silver question will be one of the
