Department

THE Navy Department has called for bids for the construction of three first class battleshlps. The GRAPHIC would suggest that the people of this state make a united effort to have one of the battleships named Arkansas. We have the Indiana, Iowa, New York, Oregon, Massachusetts, Alabama, Kentucky, and many battleships and cruisers named after the leading cities of the Union, but no vessel in the navy is named in honor of the state of Ar kansas, or any city therein, This is no doubt due to the indifference of Arkansans. A "Greater Navy" should have a ship named in honor of the great state of Arkansas. With united effort the honor can no doubt be secured for our state. Let the effort be made and our Senators and Congressional delegation be urged to call on the Secretary of the Navy and insist upon it's being done. Let the press of our state agitate it, and when the legislature eonvehes in January let that body memoralize the navy department to name one of the new vessels Arkansas"

Brewster's Reply.

The Daily GRAPHIC yesterday contained Mr. Edgar Brewster's re- ply to the affidavit of Mr. J. M. Henry, and also to the affidavit of one Broadus, one of the election judges in Melton township. MT. Brewster clearly shows that he did not attempt to bulldoze Mr. Henry, but merely asserted a legal right and made legal demand to see the poll-book of Barraque township with view of ascertaining the names of the voters in the late pri- mary in that township. It was his purpose to ascertain if there were any illegal votes cast in said town ship, and also to secure afidavits from those who voted as to their votes for Sheriff. The law gave MT. Brewster the right to make this de- mand, as section 2666 of the digest declares the election judges skall re- turn one of the poll-books with the ballot box, and the other poll book shall be retained by one of the judges, free for the inspection of aU persons. In refusing MT. Brew ster this privilege accorded him by law, Mr. Henry denied MT. Brew ster of legal right.
 It is little strange that the law must be violated to conceal the poll book Mir. Henry acted upon ad- visement by telephone, we are in formed, of Prosecuting Attorney Martin, whose election is also con- tested on the grounds of fraud and false election returns. But in doing so Mr. Henry violated the law, ard according to sec. 2667 of the digest is liable to a fDe. Sec. 2667 pro- vides among other things that if any judge of election shall fail to perform any of his duties prescribed by the cleo ton law, he shall forfeit $200 to be recovered by indictment. The GRAPHIC does not believe that MT. Henry would knoaoiagly com nit aa unlawful act, but in this case he was misinformed by one whose in terest it was to conceal the poll-book, and MT. Henry's affidavit was therefore made under a mis- apprehension of Mr. Brewster's le- gal rights in the case.
 As to the affidavit of one Broadus, one of the election judges in Melton township, whose returns have been discredited and shown by the affi- davits of the honest voters of the township to have been prostituted; it required no answer. It was made OF hearsay, but nevertheless Mir. Brewster answered it in unequiv- ocal terms.

Towanda, Pa, who disappeared from his
home on 31st of March was returned to his
father yesterday in Wilmington. Yester
day afternoon Mr.. Head called up Middle
town over the telephone, Mr.. John A. Jolls
answering. The call was an inquiry from
Sir Head about his son. Mr.. JolIs recalled
seeing youth at the Middletown Hotel an
swering the description and went to make
inquiry of the lad, resulting in his accom-
panying young Head to Wilmington and re-
ceiving from the ia ther twenty five dollars
for his trouble;
1t appears that Joseph retired last Thurs

he did not appear at breakfast table Soon
afterward note left by the missing boy

know where l will go, but will go some
where. Don't make any attempt to follow
ME. Don't worry. If all turns out well,
will let you know how I am getting on.
Hardly know why am doing this. An irres-
istible force inside me is compelling me to
do it.
He first went to Philadelphia where he
tried to enlist. he soon saw his mistake, but
he was too proud to turn back, and so made
his way from the city to Newark, DEL,
where boy friend of his lives. From there
he went to Delaware City, and thence to
Middletown. He was quiet, had money to
pay bis bills. but was dazed. He was glad
to greet his father and happy in the
thought Of returning home.
