The many friends OF Hon. 7. G,
McRae all over the state will regret
to learn that he is in very bad
health. He visited Mineral Wells,
Texas, and thought that he was
much benefited thereby at the
time, and later he spent a short
while at Mt. Nebo, but mis- condition
is not materially improved. Yes
terday afternoon he had an attack
of vertigo while in town which
caused alarm to his friends, but we
understand that he is better today.
1t is the hope of his friends that
with the coming cooler weather he
will regain his wonted health

Gov. Jones refused to pardon two
men last week, but neither OF tnem
was proprietor of blind tiger
Helena World.
The spirit of the law never intend
ed that pardons should be issued to
proprietors of blind tigers. If we
were to have another governor like
Jones' we think it would be the
proper thing for graud juries to re-
fuse to indict those violating this
particular law, and by so doing save
the expense of conviction. Benton

London, December 9.--What with the
growing In :lination to be skeptical over

with the ssill virulent storm OF disapproval
raining from all quarters upon Joseph

alliance speech and with the dswning
realization of the difficulties which heset
the :ask OF conQuering the Beers and
wiping away Atrikander dissatisfaction,
the position of the British government at
home and Ia Europe has been by no
means strengthened. A really decistya
victory, compelling the Beers to vacate
tho scene of British operations or enabling
lhs British TO achieve tho relief of Kim
berley or LadysniSth, would quickly i'm
provo the feeling. That all is not right

matter of course although In the same
breath IL Is admitted that a decisive en-
Bagement must be fought before this il

prominently brought out during the two
