Convention Powers.

The National Democratic ConYen. tion is the supreme power of the Democratic party of the nation. There is no other body authorized to make rules for the government of the party or express It's platform or policy. There is no other body au- thorized to make party nominations for the highest offices within the gift of the people. It's decrees are laws, and binding on all loyal Democrats.
 In State affairs the State Democratic convention is the supreme power in party matters so far as that state is concerned. It nominates the State Democratic candidates, and makes the state platform, and it's nominations and deerees are binding on all loyal Democrats within the state.
 In county affairs the Democratic County Convention is the supreme party power in county matters so far as the county is concerned. It selects delegates to the State Con- vention, instructs them the way they should vote, selects and elects a County Central Committee, nom- mates county candidates where no previous primary election has been held to select the same, and de- clares the nominees when nomi- mated by primary election. It is the supreme law-making power of the party in so far as county affairs extend, being subordinate only to the State and National Democratic organizations and responsible only to its immediate constituency.
 There is no other manner of gov ernment in the Democratic party except by convention, to which dele gates are elected by the people. The convention registers the peoples will in this manner, whether in National, State or County politics.

THE SUBJECT FOR DEBATE BY THE CATEGORICAL AsSOCIA-
 TON.
Resolved: That the United States Senators Should Be Elected by
 Direct Vote of the People.

The right thing at the right time. A subject very apropos That's the topic we've been casting our effulgent electric rays on for some time. In fact, nothing could be better nor more beneficial for public discussion than subjec of this kind.
 At the court house next Tuesday night, at 8 o'clock promptly, the above interesting topic will be ably discussed and debated by six of the oratioal members, including two of the next Representatives in the General Assembly of Arkansas.
 The affirmative side will be ably represented by Messrs. Edwin J. Kerwin, H. K. Toney and Alex Rowell, who will endeavor to show that United States Senators should be elected by direct vote of the peo pie.
 The negative side, or that oppos- ed to such a method, and who wlll be, according to the subject, strict adherents of the time laid law of our fathers that such should not pre- dominate, are: Messrs. Creed Cald- well, Milton Blum and Walton Seymour.
 Everybody cordially invited; ad- mission free.

climate. The very birth place of his race was under torrid sun. He is better prepared to withstand the tropical regions than any other race. For this reason, the South cru negroes are better suited for a Cuban army than any other part of our cosmopolitan population.
 We are reliably informed that there have already been enough colored volunteers in this State to make up regiment. According to our authority, over 800 in Little Rock have signifed a desire to en- list; Camden, Texarkana and Hot Springs have organized company each; Pine Bluff has two companies already organized, and the entire body of Uniform Rank. Knights of Pythias of the State, have rendered their services.
 We can see no good reason why the services of these men should not be accepted, and since the President has issued a second call for volunteers, under which Arkau- sas must furnish another thousand of men, why not let the colored population form the Third Arkan. sas Regiment2

ColOred Troops.

The GRAPHIC few days ago call ed attention to what seemed to it to be lack of patriotism OF the part of the negro race os this State in not volunteering for the army to defend their flag and to liberate the oppressed of their race in distressed Cuba. Since that tune we have been reliably informed that two companies have been organized kere and their services rendered the Governor, but for some inscrutable reason Gov. Jones has declined to take any notice of their patriotic offer This" said a prominent eolored leader of the State yester- day to a GRAPHIC reporter, "the negroes are inclined to regard as discrimination that is unjust. We are ready and willing to go if the Governor only gives us a chance We feel that it is our double duty to go, first, because it is our duty to defend the flag of our liberties, and, second, because the larger portion of the Cuban insurgents are color ed. But, in view of the attitude of Governor Jones, what can we do about it?"
 For our part we cannot ste why Gov. Jones cannot accept the servi- ees of a eolored volunteer army. This is as much, if not more, of a black-man's fight than a white man s, since about 65 per cent of the population of Cuba belongs to the colored race. The Governors of Alabama and Georgia have each mustered in a eolored regiment, then why not the Governor of Ark ansas? Why should our white citi- zens alone be sent to fight the bat ties of the Cubans against the Spaniards? Is it not patriotic duty equally incumbent on both?
 After the conclusion of the war an army of occupation will be need ed for Cuba. Nowhere under tbe sun is there a race more naturally adapted to the climate of Cuba than the colored race. The negro is in- digenous to the soil of a tropical

IN referring to an editorial para graph in Fridays GRAPHIC relative to the delinquent tax list, Satur. days Commercial says it was an "un- just erislcism of the fairness of County Clerk Flanders" The GRAPHIC discla aims any such inten- tion, for in both public and private life we have always found County Clerk Flanders a very just and fair man; but nevertheless, it is a little singular that the Commercial should get the financial statement and the delinquent tax list for two years in succession, to the exclusion of the other city Democratic newspapers. Who is responsible for this we do not know, for we are not up to the Commercials methods Of getting business. But in stating that it received no compension for setting the delinquent tax list last year when the time for paying taxes was extended by legislative en- actment, the Commercial suff- CTS lapse of memory. According to our information, our contemporary presented a bill against the county for the same and the account was allowed No, the GRAPHIC does not want the 7earth. :" We would not know what to do with it if we had il. We only want a small slice of this earthly para disc, for after all the only difference between the rich and the poor is their manner of living. When we come to the grave We are all poor alike.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
A Negro Lauudress Haa Both
 Arms Crushed.

Ida French, a negro laundress, employed by the American-Excelsior Laundry, met with a painful acci- dent Saturday morning about 7:30 o'clock. She was operating a collar ironer when her right arm got caught between the rollers. In an effort to extrieate her rfgh arm she got her left caught also, with the result that it was mashed almost to the shoulder. The right arm was also badly injured Had the rollers been hot at the time, her arm would have been roasted. Her screams attraeked a large crowd aud her suffering was excruciating. She was released as quickly as pos sible. The accident was the result of her own carlessness.

 Messrs. Armstrong and Kincaide. tenors.
 Messrs, Fox and Panther, passes. Mrs. ". H. Langford presided at the organ and discoursed a number of instrumental selections that were highly enjoyed by all present. Mrs. Langford is leader in musical af- fairs whom music-lovers delight to follow. She possesses g complete
  responsive to her magic touch.
 The solo by Mrs. Anderson and the duet by Mrs. Anderson and Mir. Armstrong were exquisite. Mrs. Anderson possesses a very sweet so- prano voice and reaches easily thaA highest notes, while Mir. Armstrong; has a tenor voice to which there is no superior in this section.
 The selection by MT. NJ. J. Panther was also another pleasing and enjoyable feature.
 The selection by the male quar- tette, Messrs. Armstrong, Kincaide, Panther and Langford, was pleasing feature.
 old Glory" a solo by Miss Cam eron, was delightful. Miss Cameron possesses an exquisite soprano voice and she is quite an acquisition to lo- cal music circles.
 The address by the Rev. Story was brief and appropriate. He said that while the war with Spain would no doubt result in victory for the United States, religious people should pray that our leaders and rulers be endowed with wisdom, sd that the war in the end might re- dound to the best interests of our country.
 The concert concluded with the rendition of the Cuban March, dis coursed by Mrs. Langford on the melodious pipe organ aud composed hy Mir. Irl Armstrong. This proved very delightful selection and com plimentary expressions of Mr. Arm- strong's composition were heard on every hand.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together and until the last few years was supposed to be tncurable. For great many years doc- tors pronounced it a local disease. and pre- scribed local remedies. and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pro- nounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease. and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by r. J.. Cheney & Co. Toledo. Ohio. is the only con- stitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to tea spoonfull It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
