it is our bounden duty to do battle for the cause. At the interview referred to I was given to under stand that colored men would no be acceptable; in fact not wanted. l appeal to you in behalf of the thousands of brave colored men in this state, and ask your instruc tiors and assistance that ye may GU list in our country's cause. If necessary send us a recruiting officer to b. located in Little Rock until we have been organized and have been mustered into service. We are ready and only await your ins tructions.
 Dear editor: What more could we have done in the premises to have shown our patriotism for our country. The colored Knights of Pythias of this city offered thelr whole uniform rank to the govern ment, if needed. The colored men from the states of Kentucky, Ten nesee, Georgia and Alabama offered their services. Gov. Atkinson, of Georgia, rendered to the Secretary of War, one regiment of colored troops which was a part of the Georgia state militia, and he even sent his military secretary to see General Brooks, stationed at Chat sanooga, Tenn, about allowing these colored troops to go in with the white militia from his states. With these facts before you, you can readily see that it is not our fault, but tte fault lies some where else.
 l was present at the court house in this city when you delivered an able address to the young white men of this city aud county upon their duty to their government, and impressed upon them theimportanct of their responding to the President: call for volunteers to fight agains' Spain. l was highly pleased witt your address, but you never men tioned in your plea for recruits tha' the colored men should respond tt the call. If we are given chance to fight in this contest, l will as sure you that when the war is eye we will have won some of the famt of soldiers. Ia every national wal that this country has been engaged in we have always done some o the brave deeds of the conflict. w are willing to go to Cuba and fgh the Spaniards in the behalf of ou country, and try and see if thi country will not produce anothe Maceo. Yours Truly,
 F. B. ANTHONY.

Mr.. Lind Accepts.

We give elsewhere this morning the
letter in which John Lind, now serving
his country as first lieutenant and reg
imental quartermaster of the Twelfth
Minnesota volunteer infantry, accepts
the nomination of the Democratic con-
vention for governor. We can well be-
lieve in the sincerity of the statement
that Mr. Lind, who has tasted the
sweets and bitters of political life,
would prefer the quiet of his profess
sional life after the termination of his
present duties, and we can also believe
that the same sense of duty that led
him to offer his services to his country
now leads him to proffer his abilities
as the chief executive of the state to
it's electors.
We are gratified to read the warm
commentator Mr.. Lind gives to the
platform of the convention. We have
never had any doubt that, by however
devious a route he took to reach the
inevitable end, he was on the road to
Democracy. 1t is the same process with
him that it has been with so many
thousands of Republicans who have
felt repulsion for the changed poll
cies of their party, felt that they could
go with it no farther and have turned
aside into the first by-path that pre-
sented itself. They have rarely gone
logically and Immediately over to the
only party that stands for antagonism
to Republican tendencies. They have
felt the pull of prejudices imbibed in
years of opposition, and so they have
become Allianceists, Populists, Silver
Republicans, anything to indicate dis
sent, but they were almost certain to
land sooner or later in the Democratic
camp. The platform, adopted too early
to have Incorporated into it the issue
of anti-imperialism. is Democratic, and
in accepting it Mr.. Lind accepts De-
mocracy. and it accepts him. The plat
form offers, in its tender of state is
sues, however. ample ground on which
to wage a vigorous, aggressive and
successful campaign. and for that we
have no doubt the state committee is
making preparation.

Not the peddierS, that convenient body

SO great that the law giving preference

real but suppressed reason doubtless
is that it is distressing to his comfort

We're busy selecting their stocks of

morning spin have found pleasure and
information in threading their way
down the narrow aisle between the

an hour as 5 o'clock and seen buyers
busy at that hour. But the ease of

was given an injection of anti-toxine
by DIR. Miller.
DR.. Price was called to the Bunker
residence Wednesday, but aside from
very sore throat, found nothing par

Price interested DIR. Miller, the bac-
teriologist of the health department,
in the case and it was decided to take
culture and determine just what the
nature of the disease was. Yesterday
morning the culture had developed and
Dr. Miller at once pronounced it a case
of diphtheria with all the symptoms
which are noticeable in the disease in
a human patient. The dog was ordered
in quarantine and will be detained
for the usual time the same as other
patients with the disease. In speak

be nominated, which he cannot be, he
would be as certainly defeated as that
the day Of election will come. His Of
ficial record would settle that. His
own party is aware Of it, and he will
be turned down, as 1t looks now, in
favor of Horace Bigelow. The party
will be held responsible for the man
ner In which the attorneys Office has
been run, and Assistant Zollman would
not have much better show than An
derson, for the odium of being in the
office would attach to him in spite Of
the fact that he may be not at all re-
sponsible for Mr.. Anderson's mistakes.
Hiler Horton will not have the NOM
ination, and it looks like clear run
ming for Bigelow. He is young-which
is by no means against him, for Pierce
Butler was even a younger man when
he took the office-and he has had alb
solutely no criminal practice. The pub
lie is going to be shy of inexperienced
men. If Bigelow is nominated, he will
be beaten by d. F. PEBBLES, if the lat
ter gets the Democratic nomination. 1t
looks as though he might get 1t. He
will have the support of the bar to
very considerable extent. He will have
to beat some good men for the NOM
ination, though, for the office is gift
for Democrat.
County Auditor Sullivan canont win
at the polls and has little chance of a
nomination. The leaders of the oppoSl-
ton to Sullivan will use the anti-third
term argument against him, and the
nomination will probably go to M. w.
Fitzgerald. 1t seems to be generally
