FROM MONTONG0.

MR. MDIroR Crop prospects are not at all aattering. Corn Is very small at this season. The corn that was planted over, after the freeze, is looking better than that which was left standing. We were getting d little sdry, but last Thursday we had d fine rain, and Saturday evening-wcll We had d trash-mover. Land is badly wash ed. Mr. ]. E. Willis says that he is ruined. Oats are fine. Some few of our people sowed wheat, and they say that they never saw finer wheat grow. Mir. J. A. Bishop says he has wheat as high as a mans shoulders.
 Mir. Editor, if you want to get q good, square meal of vegetables, come out to the country. All we ask is, that you bring little meat with you, to season with.
 Health is good. Mir. w. B. Nichols is now attending to his business. MT. | NJ. Cavaness' little son that got his leg broken some time ago, is well.
 MT. l.. H. Garrett was elected School Director of District Twen- ty-Two. The Primary is over, the ticket is made, and that by the people. Now, let every Democrat put his shoulder to the old wheel of Democracy and give her an all- togather push and we will have nothing to fear. l guess there is hardly Democrat in the county but what lost more or less of his men, but we went into the prima- ry with that understanding that we would be governed by major ity, that is Democratic. l failed to get all the men that I voted for, but l feel myself honor bound to vote for the Democratic ticket, from Governor down to Township officers. Our friends of the Popu- list party are not going to be in this thing
 Mir. Editor, you must excuse my long absence, l have had those cussed blues, again.

brated inventor declared that 1t was possible to turn on, like water with d hose. current of electrici- ty of sufficient strength to destroy the greatest battleship atloat. Schley is in need of some such scheme to reach Cervera at Santia- go and blow him into eternity. Why hasn' the wizard of the cleo trical world perfected his scheme;
 Where are Tesla's osciIIator and General Greedy dynamite balloon? The former was said to be able to destroy the magazine of a warship many miles away, and the latter was declared to be just the thing for dropping dynamite bombs into the enemy s camp and wiping it off the face of the earth. Schley and Sampson could both make good use of these inventions and the lat ter would be d craekerjack for Ha- wanna.
 Where is Marconi with his wire less system of telegraphy? This system Is much needed by both the Atlantic and Pacific squadrons. What relief it would be for Dewey to hear daily and hourly from those who are on the way to his support, and how nice 1t would be to hear every thirty minutes from Schley as he bombards Santiago.
 Editor Stead's system of tele- graphy is much in demand. Only few months ago the editor de clared that he could hold comnu- nication with any person, no mat how. great the intervening dis tance.
 The truth is that in times of peace there are always fnespun theories as to the solution of war problems, but when there Is an op- portunity to test the matter they are decidedly in the background. -Republic.

LILLIAN BELL AND THE CHAR.

"kodaks" are not permitted within sight of the Car of Russia, and he is considered the most ditli- cult man in all Europe to photo graph. Lillian Bell, who is in Russia for "The Ladies Home Journal, ;" persuaded the Russian officials to allow her to be an ex- ception to the rule, and she sue ceeded in photographing the Car so close that the Russian monarch jumped at the click of the button. Miss Bell will tell how she got her photograph in the next issue of the Journal.

IF the Democratic delegates to the State Convention, from Southern Arkansas, will demand their rights before the Conven- ton and a just distribution of the State offices, they will have no trouble in nominating Hon. N. Y. Wadsworth, Com. of Mines, Manufactures and Agri- culture. To give this office to Washington county, again, would be an act of favoriteism which could hardly be justified, ], under the present condition of things.

EVER and anon craze strikes this fair land of ours. This time it is the turf oat craze, and 1t has struck it hard. But 1t is not such bad thing after all, for these oats seem to grow well anywhere and OH any kind of soil. They are good feed when ripe and afford fine pasturage wlel green. Hundreds of acres of them will be planted in this county this iall, and the out come will be finer and fatter stock, better milk and butter and more case and comfort for the people.

MONTICELLO, ARK, May 30, '9S. MR. J. R. GOTHAM,
 ED. MoNTIcELLoN1AN After three years hard work, we suc- ceeded in shipping, Saturday, our first car of vegetables from Mon ticello. The ear left the depot, here, at 5 :35 p. m., and arrived in St. Louis just 24 hours later. This time is as good as is made by mails from St. Louis to Monticello or from Monticello to St. Louis.
 Now, we want to call the atten- ton of our farmer friends to the fact that they have no kick on be- ing on d branch road and having slow train service. We hope the people will see that it is not the fault of the railroad as to rates and time to the principal markets, that we don't get more shipments.
 Mir. King promised Us. three years ago, that if we would raise the stuff, the railroad would handle it with dispatch and at as low rates

Negro Emigration Advised,


Under present conditions unrestricted suf-
frage appears to be physical impossible
ity in the south, especially in those sections
known as the black belts" This being the
case, why should not some Of the ambitious
negroes enigrate to northern and western
states, where no such thing as race issue
is possible? No wholesale exodus would be
possible or desirable but a judicious thin
ming out would be a good thing for all con-
cerned In those states where the color line
has been drawn politically, to the detri-
ment of whites and blacks. The negroes
left behind would get better wages. Those
emigrating could enter new fields of in
dustry and enjoy all political rights without
flndrance.
The bugaboo of negro domination" hay
ing vanished the political color line in the
south would be effaced. With the race
question out of the way the people of the
south would divide on other issues.
In three OF the southern states the ne
groes outnumber the whites while IN most
of the northern and western states the
whites outnumber the negroes more than
twenty to one, according to the census OF
1880. The race population of some of the
states most suitable for the negro IS shown
in the following table:

The attention of Congress is called 10 the
necessity Of providing more complete and
adequate form OF government for this ter
ritOry.
The administration of 4 code Of civil and
criminal law based upon the laws of the
state of Oregon is not entirely satisfactory
The establishment under limited powers Of
4 legislative form of government for the
territory Is suggested. Such a government
could be established in the form of d gov
ernOr and Legislative council the members
OF the legislative council to h. appointed by
the President, with power to pass laws
subject TO the approval OF the President
upon subjects of internal concern coming
under the head OF police aud municipal jur-
isdiction. Very often II is found that the
laws made applicable by Congress to this
territory are in effect inadequate or inap-
plicable under the peculiar circumstances
This disadvantage would be removed by the
plan hereby suggested and in effect d form
of home rule would be given 10 the territory
which would enable IL to provide by its own
legislation for these matters which are pure
