 As there is no possible chance of a single Populist in this coun- ty being elected to office and ev- eryone of them, even the most foolish, know 1t full well, the putting out of a piece of a ticket by that so-called party Is about as silly thing as could have been engaged i'll.

WHERE WILL SPAIN FIGHT?

In the recall ot spanish Minis ter Polo de Bernabe from Wash ington Spain makes d signifeal t response to the action of the Amer iean Congress declaring for im- mediate American intervention in Cuba.
 The meaning of this decisive step on the part of the Sagasta Gov ernment at Madrid is that Spain accepts war as the only alternative now left. It is plain that this is definitely determined upon and that every successive development dat ing from the recall of Polo will be
 but one step the more toward the opening of hostilities. As events are now progressing, it is not easy to see how actual war may be delayed longer than ten days.
 It must be puzzling the War and Navy departments at Washington, as we'll as the leading officers of the American army and navy, to discern clearly what line of cam paign the Spanish Government has mapped out. The approaching  war will have for it's first and praeti- cally its sole object the expulsion of the Spanish from Cuba. It mus. be fought in Cuban waters and on Cuban soil. It would naturally be thought that under such circum- stances Spain would have ma de every effort to concentrate her sea power in the close vicinity of Cuba and to strengthen her land forces in the island.
 Yet this is apparently what the Spanish Government is not doing The spanish fleet Is assembling at the Cape de Verde Island, near CT to Spain than to Cuba. The Vizeaya and the Oquendo have left Porto Rico headed eastward. One Spanish warship is all that is left in Cuban waters. There is no movement of transports to land additional Spanish troops in Cuba. At the present moment the island . is at the mercy of the American fleet under Sampson, and the speedy | fall of Havana is certain under the combined assault of the Ameri- can warships, the American army of invasion and the Cuban forces under Gomez. What is the Span ish programme for the opening of the war; Is that Government counting upon promised alliance with some other European Power before striking what it expects to be it's strongest and most decisive blows; Or is Sagasta scheming to fool the Spanish war party with comic opera war of a few weeks, duration, at the end of which time ne counts upon the war spirit in Spain having died out; There is no definite solution of these problems It the present moment. The fact n evidence is that Spain is making 'emarkable preparation to fight for possession of Cuba by keeping her lrmed strength away from Cuba. Republic.

CAPT. HUDSON ON THE FRUIT.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, April II. 1898.
 A thorough examination of my orchard, 10 miles southeast of here only confirms the belief expressd last week, as to the damage to fruit. l find that all the peaches, all the apples that were in bloom and the most of the plums are either killed outright, or are so badly damaged that they will never amount to any thing.
 I also find that corn was so badly killed that replanting was necessary. 1 am inclined to the belief that this condition is not general except on the loose, sandy soils. Stiff land does not seem to be injured near as much as sandy land. ]. NJ. HuDsoN.
 MR. EDITOR :-Everything is quiet. Don't hear much about the election. Candidates are scarce. Z. T. Wood, Esq, is taking every thing in this township. The fact of the business is, he is "just fly ing.
 Farmers have been somewhat re- tarded in work, by the frost. They were just about ready to work out their corn, when the frost bit It down; but I don't think they will have to wait long, as it is coming out nicely. Some have planted over.
 We have q colored man, in the person of Nicely Thompson, that planted I5 acres of cotton some three weeks ago; haven't heard anyone say, but guess he will have to plant it over.
 Mir. w. B. Robinson had an acre of watermelons up, that the frost set back for him.
 The darkies are very uneasy about the war. l guess, just now, they had rather not be citizens. I heard yesterday that the Spaniards had destroyed another American war ship. If that be the case, they want a war with the United States. and |, for one. say let her come
