 culture, climate and crop bulletin
 of the Weather Bureau, Arkansas section, for the week ending
 Monday, October 3. 1898
 Th9 first three days of the crop week the weatlRr was favorable for gathering crops, but on the 29th and 30th of September and October 1st heavy raius occurred which, folio wing upon the excessive mols- ture oi the past two weeks proved decidedly injurious to the two most important eropa, corn and cotton.
 Following are the weekly amounts at reporting stations: Brinkley, 100 inches; Forrest City. 5.S6; Fort Smith, GO; Helena. 3 40; Little Rock, 1.6O; Malvern, 2.06; Newport. 3.93; Pine Bluff, 2.9s; Pr scott, 40; Rus sellvtlle, 0.26; Texarkana, 30; War ren, 3,73.
 The continued wet weather be sides preventing the picking of cot ton has been disAstrlous to the Int and seed. The character of injury includes rotting of the seed and polls, rust, sprouttng of seed and knocking the lint out upon the ground. There Is also some com plaint of worms. The northwes sec ton and the extreme southwest have escaped these conditions and large crop Is being gathered with favorable weather conditions.
 Corn is being routed by the exces- sive moisture. Allminor crops except Irish pota- toes are doing well.

Col. Ingersoll on Superstition.

Colonel -#ngersoll will lecture on super
stition tomorrow evening at the Academy
of Music. He viii no doubt crowd the
house. The following is what he has TO
say on the institution of marriage
Women have been the slave of slaves;
and in my judgment ii took millions Of
ages for woman to come from the ecn5i-
ton of abject slavery up to the ~inssltu-
ton of marriage. Let me say right here.
that l regard marriage as the hottest In
stitution among men. Without the fire
side there is no human advancement;
without the family relation there is no
life worth living. Every good govern
nent is made up of good families. fhe
unit of good government IS the family,
and anything that tends to destroy the
family is perfectly devilish and infamous.
contempt the opinions OF those long haired
men and short haired women who de-
nounce the institution Of marriage.
THE ~grandest ambition that aay man
can possibly have, is to live. and SO I'M
prove himself in heart and brain. as 10 be
worthy of the love OF some splendid wona-
an;and the grandest ambition Of any girl
is to make herself worthy of the love ard
alteration of some magnificent man. That
is my idea. There is no success in lie
without love and marriage. You had bet-

The Republican Policy Of Conceal
ment.
Wen, rather.

The proposition that the existence of
the Republican party depends upon keep
ing the public in a state Of ignorance
regarding political facts finds much sup
port In the present proceedings against
Senator Matthew Stanley Quay of Penn
sylvania. This man is under indictment
for conspiracy and bank wrecking of a
kind as atrocious as that in which James
p. Fish and Ferdinand Ward of New
York were involved. He has practically
admitted his guilt by e~ndeavoring to
evade a trial of the indictment. resorting
to technical legal points as a means Of
escape from the Judgment of a jury on
the facts.
Surely this is a somewhat sensational
matter of news. Bank-wrecking even by
private individuals generally calls for ex-
tensive newspaper notice. When a Unit
ed States Senator is the culprit, the case
rises to the first rank of newspaper ma
terial. If there is such a thing as a sem
sational hgure, surely 1t Is an indicted
Senator.
But the Tribune does not think 50.
It considers the proceedings deserving of
ten lines or so, with a small heading, in
an obscure part of the paper. This is
all it has published from day to day. OF
course, II Quay were a Democrat, it
would be different. Columns of space on
the front page, with screamer heads,
would be needed to tell his viilainy.
Perhaps people who read only the "Tri-
may be forgiven for voting the
Republican ticket. They know no better.
But they should not be forgiven for
reading only the Tribune"

When the history of Paine,s celery com

unusual talent quickly established his re-

He was fully alive to the dangers at

and he sought diligently for some -corn-

common evils, which, under one name and
another. result from an unhealthy state
of the nervous system. His labors were
crowned with glorious success, and he
gave to the medical profession the eele-

fame as Paine's celery compound.

Prom Atlantic, a county Republican by
a large majority, comes distressing news.
The house of Edward Johnson, Council
man-at-Large of the thriving borough OF
Brigantine, was wrecked last night by
dynamite, and Mr. Johnson declares that
the dastardly deed was done ~ his poIiti-
cal opponents.
The entire voting population of Brigan-
tine appears to reach the large number OF
fifty. and they are divided into two fac
tions which fight each other with just as
much bitterness and hatred as though
they numbered $4,000. State and National
issues do not enter into the controversy
to any great extent, as almost the entire
fifty are Republicans. councilman-at-
Large johnson. whose title is almost as
big as the borough. is the leader of one
faction and he has made himself par
ticularly obnoxious to the other one.
AT the last spring election when johns
son ran for Councilman-at-Large, the
vote was a tie, and Albert Smith, candi-
date for Mayor of the opposite faction.
was declared elected. The matter was
taken into the courts a decision was
rendered, throwing out the vote of the
Second ward on the ground that the ballot
box was tempered with during the noon
recess. This broke the tie and elected
Johnson as well as Alonzo Smith, the
candidate for Mayor on the Johnson
ticket. This made Mr.. johnson the king
pin in the Brigantine municipal govern-
ment, as he held the balance of power in
the Council.
BY this he became more obnoxious than
ever to the hostile faction, and some Of
the more hot-headed made direful threats
against the Councfsman-atILarge. hus
it happens that Mr.. johnson accuses his
political opponents of trying to blow him
into the other world. in order to remove
him from his seat in the Council
It is to be hoped, for the honor of At
lantic. HI this is not so. That a county
which produced hi model of political
virtue, John J. Gardner, and that main
tains such a strict loyalty to the Repub-
lican party, SHOULD be guilty Of such a
political outrage, as their party organs
tell us could only be committed by
Southern Democrats, seems almost in
credible. Let u therefore hope that Mr..
johnson is mistaken when he attributes
the crime to his political opponents Let
us hope it was his friends who did it, by
way of a surprise party.
