RESOLUTIONS Of the Monticello Baptist Sunday School on tine Death of Floyd
 Wilson Hyatt.

Our social ties have again been broken and another is gone. Pre- mature death has taken from our midst one of our most esteemed friends and lovable companions Floyd w. Hyatt. At about 5 a. m., June 5th, 1898, his spirit was summoned from this land of sor- row into that eternal home where sickness and sadness never enter. Though he had been sick almost two years, yet his death came un- expectdly to his many friends.
 He was about P years of age. His life, though brief, furnishes us with many examples we'll worth emulating. During life he was noted for the frmness with which he espoused his convictions. Un- til he was taken sick he was an

earnest worker i'll our Sunday school. During the years of our intimacy Floyd was never, to our knowledge, guilty of an unkind, ungenerous or unmanly act, while on the other hand, every service, however difficult, every sacrifice, however painful, was cheertully rendered and endured by him for his friends. In our social gather ings he displayed a sunny disposi- ton over which the clouds of gloom rarely settled. Here his joyous nature shone with purest lustre. There was a genial magnetism ill his presence, a heartiness in his greeting, a frankness of manner that attracted all with whom he came in contact We would not again renew the throbbing of his generous heart; we would not dis turb his tranquil sleep. This sad and melancholy event should teach us the comparative insignifcance of earthly things and enable us more justly to know ourselves and appreciate the duties that every day devolve upon Us.
 RESOLVED ?, That while we cherish the memory of our brother and esteem his life for his many noble qualities of heart and mind we are comforted with the thought that he has gained that peaceful rest which is the heritage of those who love the Lord, and diligently serve him.
 RESOLVED 3, That we tender our heart felt sympathy to his be- reaved family, and commend them to their loving heavenly Father.
 RESOLVED 4, That a copy oi

NOT A WAR OF CONQUEST,

And now comes our venerable 1 contemporary, the Gazette, declar- ing in the most unqualified way that ex-President Cleveland, Col l Nm. ]. Bryan, Senator White, of California, and Senator las. K.
 Jones, of Arkansas, and nearly all other Democrats, are guilty of teaching unpatriotic and undemo- cratic doctrine in opposing the an l..--. a.- a1,tas-HaMailan islands.
 It is in perfect keeping With the
 Monroe doctrine to annex the
 islands, says the contemporary, and
 in addition it is manifest destiny.
 Perhaps SO. Not only SO, but we must grab Cuba. seize Porti Rico
 and gobble the Philippines. This Is also destiny" Because under Jefferson, Monroe, Polk and Pierce
 large addition of contiguous terri tory were made to our country, we are authorized to begin career of spoliation of foreign territory, some of 1t thousands of miles away.
 Ne do this in open defiance of our f oft-repeated pledge that the war
 was not begun for conquest but for the relief of the down -trodden
 and the oppressed. By solemn declaration of congress, unani- mously proclaimed, we told the world that the liberation of the Gu
 ban patriots, the relief of the starv- ing and the ending of Spanish eruelties and atrocities were the ob- r iects of the war. We distinctly diselaimed any purpose of conquest
 Can we afford to stultify ourselves Can we afford to be guilty of open,
 outright, downright lying and get
 caught in the act2 Is such as this Democracy? Is it decency' No,
 no, no, Cleveland, Bryan, Jones,
 White and the great Democratic , masses are right'in opposing this grab-game policy. Let us stand by the Monroe doctrine. The very moment we begin to enter upon a scheme of foreign colonization we ! repudiate the Monroe doctrine, which has been the sheet anchor of
 our safety. we become involved in the eastern question and party tc
 all the machinations, schemes anC intrigues that are continually dis
 turbing the peace of Europe. We do not want Cuba, Hawaii, Port
 Rico and the Philippines, with theil
 mongrel, Malay negro populations,
 with their monsoons. hurricanes
 leprosy, earthquakes and volcanoes
 Ne don't want distinct colonies tc
 be governed by political adven
 turers, with fraud, peculation, mis,
 government, instruction and rev.
 olution as part of the heritage
 Have we not problems enough ol
 our own? Why borrow trouble
 especially on so large scale?- Ark. Democrat.

 n..F FEVE R . A Few Words of Warning

Persons who may be exposed to yellow fe-' yer and others living in districts liable to be infected by it will find that timely and intel lieent preparation is the best means oi keep ing this dreaded malady out of the family Sanitary regulations in the household are of the first importance. Clean up all refuse matter, decaying vegetation or cesspools. Drain of ponds. pools and sinks. Burn vegetable offal from the kitchen. Eat noth- ing but light, wholesome and easily digested food, avoiding green or over-ripe fruits and vegetables. Lastly, be sure that the blood stomach and bowels of every member of the i family is in healthy condition. Irregular- ties in the system, such as indigestion, con stipaton, torpid liver, invite disease to enter the body, and in case of yellow fever, ren- dcrs its progress more viruent and deadly. l This condition can be speedily removed and pure blood, good digestion and regularity in i the bowels re-establshed by using Prickly Ash Bitters, the great System Regulator. i The frequent use of this remedy in doses suited to the age of each person will main tain perfect health in the family. Get a bot tie at once while the fever is yet afar off, use 1t faithfully and regularly. Prompt action NOW in putting yourself and family in con dtion to resist the disease germs may spare 1 you suffering and sorrow Priekly Ash Bit ters can be obtained from J. MATTHEW'S, I Special Agent

before was renominated by tine popular vote this year. The same can be said of Auditor Sloan and Secretary of State, Hull. MT. Little who was elect ed State Treasurer by the pop ular vote, would have also been elected by the delegated vote, and so would have been Col. Col quit for Land Commissioner. Jeff. Davis for Attorney General, who failed to receive a majority ot the popular vote, but who re- ceived more votes than any one of his opponents, was nominate by the delegates, as also was Judge Hill for Commissioner of Mines, Manufactures and Agri- culture. So 1t will be seen that the people and the politicians" seem to be in entire harmony, notwithstanding the hallaba- loo raised by the Democrat News. As an evidence of the H. logical and unreasonable posi- ton of the Democrat-News edi- tor it is only necessary to quote the conclusion of his article which reads as follows:
 Alsoit is noted that every county in Southeast Ark ansas, except Bradley county, voted against a primary system. It can be asserted with almost absolute certainty that a majori- ty of the people of Drew, Ashley, Lincoln and Cleveland counties favor a primary system and would not endorse the action of their delegates ill voting against primary elections. Also it can be said with fair degree of cer- tainty that the rank and file of Democracy throughout the State favors a uniform primary, the politicians to the contrary not withstanding.
 The press of the state should take up this fight in the interest of the people and lay on lustily until every county is brought back in line. Ex-Gov. Jas. P. Clarke and Judge Hudgins led the fight on the side of the peo- pie, while, Judge Bryant, Hon. $. NJ Tavlor, Hal Norwood, and others fought for a delegated convention. The people should not forget how a halter has been placed aa As;r be .s.,tKs ;iset5,f5 51 f5 politicians and they should spo every candidate for a state 0 l district office two years henc : who halls from county who's
 vote was cast to take from tn people voice in making nom nations. Garry the war int : Africa, should be their motto
 We recommend that all wh r favor the voice of the people tha
 they preserve the foregoing lis
 of, "how they voted. "
 If a single one or all of tn ; counties named favor primar
 election they have a perfect righ : to hold one, and every readin
 man in the State knows thi.
 with, perhaps, the exception (

Ne are told by some of the ancients, perhaps Aristotle, that this IS a wonderful world with many birds of many kinds and all sorts of people. - And Dame Nature has not been slow to pro- s1as t sI.3i mo tS!ag shoHrd deo'ne up short i'll the list, and hence we have the Democrat-News, a paper published and edited by one Hon. Peter Rowling Thom- as. Ill the classic old town of Warren, west of the rapidly roll ing Saline river.
 The last issue of that paper comes to us with d double-head- ed, double geared, double-col- umn marked article, bristling i with "wise saws and modern in- stances" which would cause a Spanish mule to leap the Santia- go trenches, barbed wire fences and all.
 Reaching away up into the dome of thought, with pair of nail grab hooks, he has dragged down the information that the politicians are in the saddle, V and this fearful nightmare, or fevered dream, was brought on simply from the fact that the late State Convention adopted a resolution allowing the people of each county to nominate can didates for State offices in their own way and to their own liking
 This resolution was adopted bv d vote of 26S to III, which shows that the great body of Arkansas Democrats still adhere to theIprinciples of Democracy, and believe in the good old doc Urine of local selfgovernment. The resolution puts no nanacles about anybody. If Bradley county wants primary election 1t can have 1t, if Drew county wants q primary election, legal ized or otherwise, there is no ob- stacle in its way to having it.
 The resolution, as adopted by the Convention, recommends that whatever the people of each county may see fit to hold :, whether Primary election, con- vention or mass-meeting for the nomination of State officers, be held on the same day through out the State. i'll order that no particular candidate could be "boosted" by snap or early meet ings. This will give all candi- dates a fair show, and ought to give entire satisfaction to the Democracy of Arkansas, and, we opine, will. Candidates for State offices on the Democratic ticket have been nominated by a dele gated vote since the States ad- mission into the Union, and If our memory serves us right the Democracy has generally been successful. An innovation was made to a limited extent, upon this system this year, for the first time, and the result showed that the people approved of what the delegates-or poll ti- clans had before done.
