COL. BILL SLEMONS IN TOWN.

.Hon. W. r. Slemons, of Monti- cello, was in town yesterday. A visit from "Old Bill Slemons" is always refreshing. He was a member of the constitutional con- vention of I86I, and, so far as we now can recall, is the only living member of that body except Judge Marcus L. Hawkins, of Ashley M. Shelby kennard, of Indepen- dence; w. NJ. Fishback, of Sebas- tian, and J. N. Cypert, of White.
 The Confederacy never had a better, truer soldier than Col. Slemons. He commanded a regi- ment during the war, as did Col. Van II. Manning, of Ashley coun- ty. Soon after the surrender Slemons and Manning were rival candidates for prosecuting attor- ney in the Monticello district. Slemons beat Manning, whereup- on the latter moved to Mississippi, swearing that he would not live in State where q man like Slemons could be selected over him for pub lie position.
 A few years afterwards both Slemons and Manning met in the halls of Congress at Washington, each being member of that body -one from Arkansas, the other from Mississippi. They became fast friends. Manning passed out of Congress and took up the prac- tice of law at Washington and di- ed few years ago. After serving three terms, Slemons returned to Monticello, his old home, and is one of the most respected and hon ored citizens of Drew county, He is now nearing three score and ten years. While his hair is growing white, he is the same grand old character that we loved to delight and honor in by-gone times. Drew county never had a truer or better citizen than "Old Bill Slemons.

A MISTAKEN IDEA.

There seems to be an impression in certain localities that the white people of the South will oppose the efforts of their colorcd neigh bors to secure the enactment of d law to pension the old ex-sIaves. So far as our observation goes, this impression is unfounded. We believe that the great mass of Southern white men are inclined to look with favor upon any move ment which has for its object the uplifting of the colored race, and that they entertain no prejudice that tends to limit their practical advancement. Of course, the South is not yet ready, nor is it desirable from the standpoint of either race that 1t should ever be ready to recognize the negro, SO cially; but this has nothing what ever to do with the question of pensioning the old ex-slave. The race question is one thing, and the movement to pension old ex-slaves IS quite another thing, and the two should not be confounded. The mere suspicion that man is an en- emy, often makes him one, provid- ed the suspicion is brought to his notice; and we should be very careful that we do not make enc mics in this way. Now, Mir. Edi- tor, am l right or noti

A few miles north of Hamburg he turned the horse loose and he and his woman proceeded to Monticello on foot There i'm was arrested.

The gold standard advocates are generally ready to assert that the United States are strong enough to take the Philippines, and defy the powers of the earth Tn everything except in making her money stand- ard. When it comes to that they say that they must get the consent of other nations. Democrats insist that we are strong enough to main tain the double standard and coin both gold and silver free for the Use of our own people in accordance with the provisions of the constitu- ton of the United States, and ev- cry other party would maintain the same doctrine if 1t were not that the other parties are run by the money combines, monopolies and trusts.-IIouston Post.

THE HAWAIIAN ANNUAL.
MIR. Thrum Issues Quarter Century
Number Of his Handbook,


Number of HIS Handbook,
Thomas q. Thrum, the veteran
publisher end statistician, has
justifiable reason to be proud of
his Hawaiian Annual for 1899
1t is the twenty fifth issue of that
handbook, a publication that has
been invaluable in two important
ways-the furnishing of correct
information about the Hawaiian
Islands to the outer world, and
the fulfilling of the functions of a
comprehensive reference book to
people of all callings within the
islands. There is a third, and a
permanent value, to the annual as
a continuous historical record of
Hawaii.
The present one being au ami
versary number, its editor has
made the historical feature pro-
nounced. 1t discounts any pre-
vious issue in the scope of its
statistics. This is we'll, for more
reasons than one. With this year
Hawaiian statistics complete an
era of the country. That is the
era Of its existence as a separate,
civilized, national identity. Hence
forth, the statistics-commercial,
political, industrial, vital-will be
kept differently, and, as it were,
in an entirely new set of books.
Some will be in Federal or Nation
al books, and others in Local or
Territorial books. To complete
the statistics of this era, however,
the figures of our commerce and
finances for the closing year
should be added to those in the
Annual. Mr.. Thrum may not
take the suggestion amiss to bring
his copious tables up to the end of
the Independent era for his next
years tissue. 1t would not be a
bad scheme, either, to gather all
OF his historical memoranda into
one issue.
Honolulu in 1873" is the great
descriptive article of this issue.
1t is composed of paper written
by the late Warren Goodale for
the Hawaiian Historical Society,
referring to a valuable series of
old engravings, and a completion
of the paper after its authors
death by Mr.. Thrum. The illus
trations together with the letter
press are of great interest and got
up in attractive style.
Many articles of information
about Hawaiian events and sub
jects are written by the editor
himself. Ii. Waterhouse writes
on deep Sea Fishing" DR.. n.
Russel, on "Olaa;" Chas. ID. Mil
Ter, on "Kona;" j. W. Leonhard. =.
