There are great many of our
 gallant young men who are deter
 mined to distinguish themselves in
 the war, but they are debating the
 question whether it is better to take service in the navy or the army. They have appealed to their friends for advice but until there is some real need for them on the tented field or aboard ship, it would do no harm to call their attention to an anecdote which may have the effect of cooling their ardor to some ex- tent. The story Is illustrative of the humor as well as sense of Georgia countryman and runs as follows: A traveller at d Georgia NA OSSlo oslAl dShGNl al ldlIN ( W men IOdQ he should take in order to get to Macon. He was told that both roads led to Macon. He then in- quired which was the better road. the obliging Georgian replied If you take the right-hand road you won't go far until you wish you was in hell, and if you take the left-band road you will soon wish you had taken tother.'
 The story applies with equal force to serve either in the army or navy. No matter which one the belligerent youth of the land selects, he is sure to have a rough road to travel and will repent the fact that he had been attracted by the pomp and circumstances of war and rushed away from home.-I Clarion.

destroyers. But 1t is the prompting of the noblest impulse that ever moved q people 10 devote the ac- cumulations ef it's treasury and the lives of it's sons to an effort which de6es the combined powers of the civilized worId-who are not great ly to be feared, after they have looked for years unmoved upon the tragedies of Armenia. In no epoch has nation been moved by a Ioftier impulse to tie performance of a periIous duty. It is self-as- sumcd, 1t Is true. We have said to Europe, hands of We are soy ereign on this continent.
 The movement must command the attention and impel the writers of all the nations who are now be- holding the astonishing spectacle. While Germany and Russia are seizing and appropriating China, and the other nations are securing Africa in quest of palm oil and gum, and ivory for billiard balls, the United States stands forth as the pacificator and preserver of the helpless poor of Cuba, not actuated by any plan for political ascend ancy or the indulgence of any fanatical rage or sentimental fancy, but ln the performance of q lofty duty. It closes it's declaration of this purpose with the assurance in the last clause of the resolutions of congress:
 .Fourth-That the United States hereby disclaims any dispo- sition or intention to exercise sov- ereignty, jurisdiction or control over said island, except for the pacifcation thereof; and asserts it's determination when that is accom- plished, to leave the government in control of the island to the peo- pie
 
 The movement is sanctioned by the analogies of law from the Antonine era down. A private

THE BEST MEN FOR THE LEGIS,
 LATURE.

The press of the state of Ar kansas is a unit i'll the laudable work i'll asking the people to sc feet their best men for the Legis- lature. It does not seem that 1t would be at all necessary to inn press this idea upon the voter; for 1t is the duty of every man, who has sufficient intelligence to cast a vote, to cast 1t for the best material at hand. The legislative branch of the government is of as much importance to the state and the people as either of the coordinate branches-executive and judicial. Salutary legisla- tion can only be had through competent agencies. Incompe- tent men, interruptions and characterless, should not be chosen as the representative of civilized community. The coun- ties which exercise the most dis cretion in selecting the men to

sallow and sluggish never fail to find a course of pe-ru-na to clear the skin, invigorate the system and enrich the blood. Chronic catarrh in all phases and stages, cases that have defied the best of treatment for many years. take few bottles of Pe-ru-na to their entire relief. Nervousness, debility, weaknesses of both sexes, sleeplessness, irrita- bility, despondeney, hypochondrla, all these disappear when Pe-ru-na is used according to directions.
 One of the most instructive books on chronic catarrh ever fur nj 5hed free Is being sent by the Pe- runa Drug Manufacturing Compa- ny, Columbus, Ohio. This book is very instruetively illustrated with expensive drawings, and will be sent free to any address.

COMMISSIONER OF AGRICUL.
 TURF.

HoN. N. Y. Wadsworth, candi- date for the democratic nomina- ton for commissioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture, visited Hope last Saturday, and made fine impression on such of our people as he met. He went hence to Ozan, where our candidates for county offices had an appointment to speak. A large number of the yeomanry had gathered, and after the local talent had been heard Mir. Wads- worth, at the invitation of the chairman of the meeting, ad- dressed the voters. His remarks were brief but pointed, and greatly pleased his auditors.
 Mir. Wadsworth is a big-brain- ed, broad-gauged man with a most pleasing personality, makes friends rapidly, and leaves a fine impression upon all whom he is brought in contact with. Could he have met and conversed with all the people of old Hampstead, We feel sure he would have car ried the county almost unani- mouslv
 Mr Wadsworth is a practical farmer with progressive ideas: one who farms with his hands, not his mouth. He has made a success at 1t, having accumulat- ed considerable property, He is the very man we need for com- missioner of agriculture, and, be ing the only man from South Ar kansas who IS seeking the place the voters of Hampstead county should give him their support. He hails from Drew county, ir the southeast, has served two terms in !l legislature, and IS - only a man of affairs, but a thorough gentleman as well.
 The above excellent notice is from the Hope Chronicle, one of the best papers published in Hampstead county.
 Mir Wadsworth,s $ chances of success are, indeed, hattering, and if the people of South-East- ern Arkansas will give him their undivided support, he will prob ably have enough votes to elect him on the first count in the con- vention. Let every friend of Mir. Wadsworth do his whole duty tomorrow and give him a rousing vote.

TIE corrupt politician does not necessarily have a corrupt following In many instances honest men are his ardent sup porters. The question has been frequently asked why such a man Is so hard to overthrow? It is because the sources of his power lie deeper than most peo- pie who oppose him realize. His constituents regard him as a friend in need, and a generous and steadfast patron. It is hard to convince the man whom he has befriended that such q man is a corruptionist, or to show them that this is any req son why they should not vote for him -EX.
 The above may be true but certainly there is no good reason for 1t being so. No man who IS corrupt should receive the sup port of good men, and no good man will support such one il he knows the candidate to be really corrupt.

THE WAR FOR CUBA.
Hof Spring. .Ark-A -Anri-

I 1898. Editor Ark. Democrat :"
 The undertaking of the United States in the cause of Cuban is rendered doubly difficult by the objects 1t embraces, which are, not only to expel the Spaniards, but to furnish relief to barbarous forms of oppression exercised by them upon the inhabitants.
 The deliverers of Cuba must send not only guns, but food must not only drive away the military guards of the imprisoned recon eentrados, but must supply bread to the perishing prisoners. A na- val investment of the island would suffice in any ordinary case. The Spanish armies in occupation might be eooPed up and starved in- to ea i5fit..lalioa, II this would not operate also to the destruction of the prisoners to be rescued.
 The War for Cuba will make a great modern epic-and the great est of all epics. suggest this idea to your poetical contributors and literary readers. Homer "Iliad" :" relates the wrath of Achilles when he was one of the Grecian hosts which invested Troy for the rescue of an abducted beauty and false queen, who fled from her husband to the arms of "a handsomer man. v
 The crusades were for the recov- cry of the sepulchre of Christ, which was only a temporary one, first and last for We believe He is not dead, but ever Iiveth, to inter- cede for sinful men.
 Paradise lost, if 1t could have been recaptured, would not have been a happy place for Lucifer and his braves. They were construct ed somewhat on the plan of the Spanish tyrants in Cuba, who pre- fer bull fight or pyrotechnic ex- pertinent upon battleship to the chorus of angels.
 This Cuban crusade is to deliver thousands of living men, women and children from the deliberate doom of extermination by the slow tortue of starvation and it's attend ant diseases. It's objects are prac- tical and prosaic to the last degree. The crusaders must go out with cooking-pots and hospitaltents, as well as with rifled guns; with sup ply ships, as well as with torpedo

represent them in the General Assembly have the best records both at home and abroad. The men we send as our representa- tives to the state capital should be men of prominence and men of reputation. Men whom we are willing to conccde every where and anytime are fair speci- mems of the citizenship of the communities from whence they came. Most of the counties have some able men who are offering for seats ill the next legislature, and with a little foresight and a little display of wisdom, that body can be made one that will honor the state, and one that every decent man will be proud of. Let the good work of chos- ing the best men go on, until the time comes that if q single coun- ty should send an incompe- tent booby Of wild and woody" ignoramus to the legislative halls the disgrace would be so appar- ent that 1t would rebound to the ignominy and shame of the peo- pie who so little regarded their welfare and selfrespect as to furnish him with the necessary credentials to gain a seat.

IF the worst should come to the worst the United States can hold it's own against the world and the balance of mankind. - It has advantages superior to any other country on the face ot the globe. It has the means and material to establish coast-de- lenses that would defy all the powers and combination of pow CTS, to-day, in existence It has the ability to live within itself until that last and final da,. shall come when Gabriel shall blow his trumpet. There is not a single necessary article of mer- chandise that it's people use but 1t can make. There is nothing that grows on earth which man IS bound to have but what We can raise in these United States.
 Therefore, there is no real cause for alarm let foreign pow CTS assume any attitude they please i'll the pending struggle.
 Single handed and alone the United States can wipe from ex- istenee any halfdozen foreign countries on land or on sea; and the whole world unite to throttle her all that would be would be to fall back on her native heath and bid the hordes approach. We could hold the forts and build war-ships at the same time and in ten years we could dot the oceans with our navies. We have both the power, the ability and the will. and success will crown our arms.

President Mckinley has again increased the disposition of Dem ocrats to do full justice to his war administration His new Assistant Secretary of State, John B. Moore is a Delaware Democrat. Mr. Moore went into the Government service as an under clerk at a salary considerably below SI ,ooo q year. He advanced rapidly because of an unusual knowledge of interna- tional law. coupled with abilities well suited to the work of the depart ment. President Harrison reeog- nized MT. Moore's good qualities to the extent of retaining him as Third Assistant Secretary of State as long as he would remain. Then Columbia University sent for him to fill a,chair of international law the Hamilton Fish professorship.
