If the farmers in Iowa, Nebraska,
and other northwestern states could
see the crops in this section Of Ar
kansas they would not rest until they
had moved. Corn is now safe and no
finer fields of that important grain can
be shown anywhere than in south Ar
kansas. On the Van Gorder Edwards
place near town the corn looks like a
huge canebrake on the Mississippi.
The stalks are fifteen and twenty feet
high, heavy cared and as thick as they
can stand on the soil-Nevada (Ark.)

The Coming County Convention.

convention appeared in our columns
last week and Is repeated this week.
The time is a little over month dis
tant but it is looked forward to with
interest because Of its Importance. 1t
is the annual meeting of the republi-
can party of Audubon county. The
primaries held few days before should
be well attended by all republicans. 1t
is at the primaries or township con-
ventions where every voter is member
and has a vote and voice that we
should exert cur influence for the
furtherance of our opinions.
At the township caucusesi members
of the county central committee are to
be chosen, This is an important duty,
Good citizens should be chosen, men
who stand well in their communities,
also men who have sufficient interest
in the party's cause to devote some
time to party work during the cam
paign. Then they should be men of
ability as organizers and as politicians
if possible, All these things are known
to working republicans and we only
repeat them here to freshen the
memory and to impress them on the
minds OF the young men. Then at the
county convention a chairman of the
county committee will be selected for
| the year.
At the county convention there is to
be nominated candidates for clerk,
auditor, recorder, attorney and men,
Der of the board Of course this will
be considered the main work of the
| convention Clerk Woodward, Re-
corder Esbeck and Attorney Brainard
are serving their first terms and as re-
nominations are usual and as these
gentlemen are excellent officials, there
will likely be no opposition to their re-
nomination. Supervisor Stanley is
also serving his first term of three
years and will perhaps be renominated.
More interest centers on the nomina-
ton for auditor than on any other
office. That Office is now held by
Thomas LOhner, a democrat. 1t is not
likely from present appearances that
they will renominate him, so no second
term cry will aid them on this place.
Republicans have an excellent chance
to win this office this year if good
man is nominated. Care should he
taken to select competent and trusty
man and a good vote getter. We have
heard several names mentioned in con-
nection with this nomination but we
are not authorized to announce any
one.
Besides the nomination of the county
ticket there ale the delegations to the
state, congressional and judicial con
ventions to be selected. More interest
centers nj the selection of the con
gresslonal delegates than in the others.
Congressman Hager seems to be large
ly the favorite among Audubon count.
republicans. The most of them regart
him as fully the equal in ability to an.
of the candidates for that place ant
: excelling them in experience, acquain
; lance and influence.
Taken altogether the coming count
convention is an important one. Re
publicans generally should take an in
terest in it and see that it is compose
of GOOD and rep resentatiye men.

The laying of the cornerstone Of the

place next Saturday afternoon at
o'clock in spite Of the untoward circum-
stances which at one time threatened TO
defeat the purpose of the Lady Board Of
Managers. AT a meeting held yesterday
Contractor Hunt stated that it would be
impossible for him to get the prepara-

force of men and make all possible speed
in order to have things ready for the

1T is expected that the new building
will be ready for occupancy about the
middle of September, and the institution
will then be moved from its present UNI

the prospect Of moving, and some are

of the announcement that General Lee
had cabled 70 delay, received quite as
much attention as the request OF General
Lee.
The debate In progress in the House
over the army reorganization bill at

completely overshadowed by the more
absorbing question. Considerable oppo-
sltion to the bill developed on the ground
that its provision for an extension of

WAR. AND TOBACCO TRADE,
Large Shipments from Richmond 10
Habana VIII Cense

An event of much interest to the tobac-
CO manufacturers Of Richmond will be the
opening on the 18th Of this month of tho
bids for contracts to furnish the Navy
Department Of the United States with
10000 pounds of tobacco. Nearly all of
the large manufacturers of Richmond
will make bids. This contract amounts
TO large item. The tobacco called for
by ii is of very good quality, and brings
into Richmond perhaps more government
money than any other one or two com
modities on the Richmond market.
\ matter which is just now interesting
the minds of the trade Is attributable TO
the war scare. II is not generally known
that Richmond ships North each month
something like 10000 pounds to go by the
way Of New York TO Habana and other
parts OF Cuba well-knOwn tobacco

porter for the Dispatch that his house had

WANT TO BUY THE GAs-woRKs.
Newly-Chartered Company Wishes
to submit Bid.

For three weeks or more the repre-
sentatives of a syndicate chartered by
the last Legislature under the name Of
the Richmond Gas Company, and COM
posed largely of northern men, have been
industriously working among the mem
bers of the City Council with a view to
enlisting their sympathies on behalf of Il
resolution shortly TO be introduced, look
ing TO the sale Of the gas-wOrks.
Copies of a resolution that will be in
troduced have been circulated. This pro-
vides that any person or company may
be permitted to submit bids for the lease
or purchase of the City Gas Works before
April Both; and, further, that all bids shall
be accompanied by a certified check for
$4,000, or bonds to that amount.
The circular bears no date or signature,
and has been distributed among the coun-
cilmen by hand. IT will come up for
the first time in the Board of Aldermen
at their next meeting, and will probably
lead 10 a very lively debate along the
familiar lines, for the suggestion has been
made several times before in the Coun-
Gil and has invariably been voted down
by large majority.
A very strong effort will be made to
defeat the resolution, though it is said
that the syndicate is prepared 10 offer
a good round sum for the works.

PRO-CUBAN JOINT RESOLUTION.
IL is Introduced by Representative
Pearson, Republican.


WASHINGTON, April 6.-Representa-
tive Pearson, Of North Carolina, Re
publican member Of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee, to-day introduced the
following joint resolution:
whereas, the Government of Spain,
for three years past. has been waging
war in the island of Cuba against the
revolutionary government established In
that island, without making any sub
stantial progress towards the suppression
Of said revolution; and
Whereas, this war, by reason of the
uncvilized methods resorted TO, has
caused unprecedented loss of life and
destruction of property, not only to the
opposing forces, but to innocent nom
combatants by reason Of the process
known as recommendation, and has
caused serious injury to the commercial
interests of the United States, involving
the destruction Of the lives and pro-
perty of many of our citizens, disturbing
the business Of our entire country, en-
dangering public health and comfort 10y
reason of the proximity of pestilential
diseases, causing our government to eX-
pend millions of money in patrolling our
coasts and in policing the high seas in
order TO maintain the obligations Of neu-
trality. and when our fOrbearance has
already been taxed to its limits. one Of
our boats in the harbOr of HabanH, and
on a friendly visit, is destroyed by an
act of unspeakable atrocity; and
Whereas, there is no definite pros
pect and no present energetic effort on
the part of the Government of Spain TO
suppress the revolution and restore peace
TO the island; and
Whereas. the further prosecution of
hostites will result in further injury to
the commercial prosperity and business |
interests of the United States, without !
benefit to the Government Of SPAIN |
therefore,
Resolved. That we recognize the indie
pendenCe of the republic of Cuba, and |
will accord to its government all the |
rights and privileges of a sovereign State |
under the laws of nations.
Resolved, further, That the impera-
tive interests of the United States, as
well as the best considerations Of hu-
manity, constrain our government to in
tervene for the purpose Of ending the
contest. the President OF the United |
States is hereby clothed with full power
to use all the land and naval forces i'm
order to accomplish this end"
