The press of the State Is now calling attention, at the suggestion of Chairman Armstrong of the State Central Committee, to res olution adopted at the last State Convention, with reference to the desirability of bringing about some uniformity in primary elections for State officers. This resolution is as follows :-
 Resolved, that the state central committee shall designate day up on which the primary elections, or conventions, for state officers (and United States senators when to be eleeted), shall be held throughout the state; and that district commit tees shall also designate a uniform day in each district for all primary elections or conventions in such district.-Adopted by Democratic State convention, June I896.
 The convention seemed to think it desirable that primary elections should be held throughout the State upon the same day, and that of ficials in Judicial, Senatorial, and other districts, should be chosen in like manner. We do not know but that this would be a good thing. Sometimes the friends of candidates, by manipulating the machinery of the party manage to have elections in counties favorable to their man held at an early date in order to give him the advantage of a good send of. With q uni form day established all over the State, every candidate would be on an eqal footing, and none of them would know their fate until the very last.-I1elena World.

WE believe that 1t is right and proper for the political mana gers of the District and county committees to arrange to hold their conventions or primary elections for the nomination of State and District officers on the same day, as recommended by the last State convention. This would give each candidate an equal chance and would do away with the possibility of swaps and jobs. Democrats must "toteo fair. and thus keep down all biekerings.

A GREAT many things are said, in the newspapers, about the country editor, which places him before the people in a very foolish attitude, and in the main, perhaps, this is the true light in which he should be placed; for, generally, 1t is very fool-hardy man who would undertake to edit a country newspaper; but there must beexceptions to make a rule, and this IS true of the country editor as well as other things. Occasionally you will find a man of brains, who is too lazy to split rails, plough, preach or practice law, and he takes upon himself the pleasing task of editing country newspaper, So 1t will not do to set every country editor down as a fool, for about the laziest man that ever lived had more hard sense than q government mule.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING

At the beginning of the New Year is an oppOrtune time to think and talk about diversity ing farming
 Most farmers will readily agree, We suppose, that if it will pay to diverity, it ought to be done. lfsome one crop will pay best, that IS the one which is best for the farmer to plant and cultivate. Experience has shown the farmers of the South that cotton is the only crop that can be readily converted into cash. and If money enough can be req lized from this crop to buy all the farmer needs on his farm, easier and more cheaply than he can raise of other crops what he has to have, then an all-cot- ton crop is the one to plant. But If he can raise corn, oats, peas, potatoes, molasses and meat cheaper than he can buy these articles with the proceeds of a eotton-crop, then he should raise all of these things.
 While conventions and aggre- gations of farmers may do much to determine these questions and may formulate plans and pass resolutions, yet 1t is matter for the individual farmer to de termine for himself. It is a ques- ton that deserves to be studied closely and carefully, and one that no farmer can afford to ig nore or pass upon lightly. It is one that comes home to each in dividual; and in these trying times 1t is one of actual exist ence.

Hon. C. K. Breckinridge will be home from Russia m time to participate in the forthcoming State campaign He has done valiant service for the Demo- cratic party in the past and will doubtless be heard again in be- half of her principles Ark. Dem ocrat.
 MT. Breckinridge is an able man and an astute politician; butisinee he was Cleveland ap- pointee, with pronounced gold bug proelivities, we fail to see wherein he can hope to do much for his party in Arkansas, unless there has been a change of heart on the money question.
 The last time we heard from the Arkansas Democracy, in an authoritative way, 1t was very much in favor of free silver at a ratio of Is to 1, and if there has been any change along that line we have not been so informed.
 However, if Mir. Breckinridge will return to old Arkansas and fall in with the boys in the trenches and go to whooping up Bryan and free silver we will be the last to turn a cold shoulder or give the marble heart.

Free From Rheumatism

If the people generally knew the true cause of Rheumatism, there would be no such thing as liniments and lotions for this painful and disabling disease. The fact is, Rheumatism is disordered state of the blood-it can be reached, therefore, only through the blood. But all blood remedies cannot cure Rheuma- tisn, for it Is an obstinate disease, one which requires a real blood yemeay- something more than a mere tonic. Swift's Specific Is the only real blood remedy and promptly goes to the very bottom of even the most obstinate case.
 Like all other blood diseases, the doctors are totally unable to cure Rheu- matism. In fact, the only remedies which they prescribe arc potash and mercury, and though temporary relief may result, these remedies produce a stiffness of joints and only intensity the disease. Those who have had experience with Rheumatism know that it becomes more severe each year.

The case of Mrs. James Kell, of 6II Ninth Street, $. E., Washington, D. C., should convince everyone that 1t Is useless to expect doctors to cure Rheu. matism. Under recent date she writes ::
 "A few months ago had an attack of Sciatic Rheumatism in it's worst form. The pain was so intense that my ner- vous system was prostrated, and l was for a long time perfectly helpless. The attack was an unusually severe one, and my condition was regarded as being very dangerous.
 "I was attended by one of the most able doctors of Washington City, who is also member of the faculty of the leading college here. He told me to continue his prescription and I would get we'll. After having 1t reflled twelve fit, declined to take it longer.
 "Having heard S.S.S. (Swift's Spe- cifc) recommended for Rheumatism, I decided, almost in despair, to give 1t a trial. After taking a few bot ties I was able to hobble around on crutches, and very soon had no need at all for them, for S.S.S. cured me sound and we'll All the distressing pains have left me, my appetite has returned, and am happy to be again restored to perfect health"
 S.S.S. never disppoints, for 1t is made to cure these deep-rooted diseases which are beyond the reach of all other reme- dies. It cures permanently Rheumatism, Catarrh, Cancer, Scrofula, Eczema, and all other blood diseases. 1t is the only blood remedy guaranteed

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS-
The House Will Discuss an Ala
bama Election Contest,
AND WILL UNsBAT Mr.. PLOwMAN

Senator'S WIN Continue Discussion of
the Hawaiian Treaty, and the Right
of Hon. II. W. Corbctt 10 Represent
Oregon WIN Again BE Brought Up.
Washington, Feb. 1T is probable
that the program of the house. which
has been confined almost exclusively
this session to the consideration of
appropriation bills, will be varied this
week with the consideration of a con
tested election case. 1t is the purpose
of the house leaders to keep the apurU-
priatiOn bile to the front I'm order To-
obtain an early adjustment or, as the
alternative, throw the responsibility
of delay on the senate. But after the
Notifications bill is disposed of only
one other appropriation bin is on the
calendar for the present-the military
academy-and it should not consume
more than a few hours. Ii is the i'm
tention of the leaders, therefore. to Gl
the hiatus this week with the Cousid-
GRAFTON of the Aldrich-Plowmau con-
tested election case from the Fourth
Alabama district. The election COM
mittee has divided on this case on
party lines, and the indications are.
therefore, hat the house viii do the
same thing, and that Mr.. PloWmau will
be unseatcd.
In the house on Saturday Mr.. Royse,
Of Indiana, chairman of the committee
on elections No. 2, presented a rcsolu-
ton declaring hat in the contest be-
tween Samuel Hudson and William
McAleer, of Pennsylvania, for a seat
in the house, Mr.. McAlcor is entitled
to the seat. without division the reso-
luton n report of the committee
were adopted.
The members on both sides of the
house have been using the latitude al
lowed in debate on appropriation bills
to make campaign speeches to be used
more or less extensively in the impend-
ing congressional campaign this fall,
and these are likely to continue indef-
initely. All the members are keeuly
alive to opportunities to make polit-
ical capital for themselves or their
party, and this fact may at any time
upset p"rearranEed programs. The
Democrats and Populists seem to be di-
recting their assaults principally
against the Republican claim that
prosperity has returned to the country.
The attention Of the senate this week
will in all probability he divided be-
tween the Hawaiian annexation treaty,
appropriation bills and the right of
Hon. w. II. Corbett to a seat i'm the
senate from Oregon. The treaty will
probably occupy the greater share OF
attention today, but after that time
the committee on appropriations will
claim the time of the senate for the In
dian appropriation bill, which it is ex-

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD

Afact often overlooked, or not always under
stood, is that women suffer as much from dis,
tressing kidney and bladder troubles as the
men. The womb is situated back of and
very close to the bladder, and for that reason
any distress, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often, by mistake, attributed to fe.
male weakness or womb trouble Of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for twenty
four hours a sediment or settling is evidence
that your kidneys and bladder need doctoring.
If you have pain or dull aching in the back
pass water too frequently, or scanty supply,
with smarting or burning, these are also con,
vincing proofs Of kidney trouble. If you have
doctored without benefit, try DR.. Kilmer'

wlak's Case Started the Row.
New York, Feb. 1.-The trustees of
the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church
have resigned. Announcement to that
effect was made from the pulpit by the
Rev. DR.. John Hall yesterday morning,
and the members of the congregation
were notified to meet at the church on
Monday, Feb. ID, and choose new trus-
tees.
DR.. Hall read the notice In a sad tone
of voice, but he made no comment on
the matter, though 1t attracted atten-
ton among the pew holders, who be-
gan whispering one to another, but
desisted when he began his sermon.
The congregation is bound to stand
by DR.. Hall, no matter What may be
done by the session next Thursday
evening, and they are giving him the
warmest assurances of their support
M assistance. The members of the
congregation were loath to discuss the
significance of the trustees action, but
1t was admitted by Robert Bonner, j.
H.. Work and many others that it was
the direct outcome of the differences
of the factions of the church.
The trustees are the financial gov
ernors of the church. They are also
the financial hackers of the church.
They not only represent in themselves
financial support, but also represent
the McCooks, the Maitlands and the
Sloanes, who are supposed to be OPP
posed to the continuance of DR.. Hall
in the pastorate. The resignation of
the trustees is expected to be followed
by the withdrawal of many influential
and wealthy members.

DR.. Hall, said today that the r~esigna-
ton of Dr. Hall had not been prompted
