One of the best ways on earth to
kill buriness is to wear a long face
and at every opportunity tell your
customers, friends and competitors
how fearfully dull it is and how bad
your business is as compared with
last year. Nothing success like
success The people like to deal
with successful man. His place
of business is always cheerful. If
he mas not sold a cents worth of
goods all day you would never know
it by his action or his conversation.
There is a push, snap and a vim
about him and his store that in
spires You with the idea that he is
doing well, whether he is or not.
Many business that looked as if it
must 60 into the hands of the sher-
if has been pulled from the fire and
made a success just by the nerve,
push and persistency of the man be-
hind it, who would not even admit
defeat when it almost stared him
in the face.

Our "old" and venerable friend
], F. Floyd, having been missed
from his usual haunts on the streets
and in his Office since last Friday,
the city editor telephoned for his
venerable friend to stop by and
take nog with him, and he tele-
phoued back that he could not
leave home on account of having a
bow-Iegged billy goat at his house
be had to attend to. We have
since learned that little stranger
arrived to gladden. the home of our
friend. We wish to say to our
friend if he feels that any congrat-
ulatious are coming to him, we
watt ours in huge chunks. May
the little billy grow to be a frisky
kid-one that will gladden. the
heart of his papa in his declining

We are opposed to polygamy IN
all its forms, but one of the mos
pitiful scenes ever witnessed in a
legislative body occurred in the ma
tional house of representatives when
Representative-elect Roberts, Of
Utah, was refused the seat to which
be was lawfully elected. Public
clamor caused members to vote
against all law and all precedent,
and in abject submission they set a
precedent which they know can be
used hereafter for purposes most
dangerous to the liberties Of the
people and the rights of the states.
The proper thing would have been
to allow Roberts to take his seat,
coming as he did, with his certif
cate of election properly filled out
aud signed by the only power au'
thorized to do so, and then proceed
to investigate the charges. Cam

REVENUE STAMPS.
New Regulations Regarding Their
Cancellation.

The new regulations regarding
the cancellation of internal revenue
stamps became effective on the 18th
instant, and in order to avoid un-
pleasant complications with Uncle
Sam the users of the stamps will in
future have to exercise more care
in cancelling. Under the new rule,
as announced by the commissioner
of internal revenue, in AL cases
where documentary stamps of the
denomination of 10 cents or any
large denomination should be used,
the persen using or afixing the
same shall, in addition to writing or
stamping thereon with ink the
initials of his name and the date
when affixed, mutilate the stamp
by cutting three parallel incision
lengthwise through the stamp, be-
ginning not more than one-fourth
Of an inch from one end and extend
ing to within one fourth of an inch
of the other. Such mutilation will
render the methods of using ink
heretofore used unnecessary.

A PERFECT LIFE PRESERYER.

BERRY's CANDIDACY.

/ Senator Jas. H. Berry has issued
an address to the people of Arkan-
sas, announcing his candidacy for
reelection as United States SEN
ator. The Texarkanian, as his
friend and hearty supporter, takes
pleasure in giving the salient points
of his address, showing his position
on the leading issues of the day, as
follows
He has always favored the free
coinage of both silver and gold, at
the ratio Of sixteen to one-in favor
of re-aflirming the Chicago plat
| form.
Unalterably opposed to all trusts
and combinations of wealth, banded
together, for the control of prices
of products, and in favor of legis-
lation both by states and general
government that will utterly crush
and destroy them.
Favor electing United States
Senators by direct vote of the peo-
pie.
Favor a tariff for revenue only.
Opposed to ship subsidy bill, and
all subsidies.
Opposed to Imperialism, expan-
sim, and to a large standing army;
opposed to acquiring, either by
conquest or purchase, territory in
the Eastern Hemisphere. IF we
seek to hold permanently and
to govern the Philippine islands, we
must either govern them as colonies
or Incorporate them into the Uni
ted States as a territory or state,
and make the inhabitants thereof
citizens of the United States, en-,
titled to all the rights and privileges
of American citizens. To govern
them as colonies is contrary to the
constitution of the United States
and the declaration of independ'
ence, and will require for all time tc
come a large standing army. On
the other hand, to bring the in
habitants, in as inhabitants or as
citizens would be to add to oul
population 100000, differing in
race and color, unused to our ways
and methods of life and living,
: 10000 miles from our capital, anC
would also bring them in direct
; competition with our laboring peo'
pie, and this would, as [ conceive, be
not only an act of folly, but crime
against eur own people. For these
reasons think we should deal with
the people of the Philippine islands
precisely as we have promised to
deal with the people of Cuba. | can
see no reason why we should give
the people of Cuba a free and in
dependent government and at the
same time hold the people OF the
Philippine islands in subsection by
! military force and infict upon them
the same curse of carpet bag gov
eminent that the people of the
Southern States endured immedi-
ately after the close of the civil
war"
