FIRST CASE OF THE KIND.

Next Friday the railroad com mission of Arkansas will hear the case of the Thos. II. Jones Compa- ny of Little Rock Vs. the St Louis Iron Mountain and Southern Rail road for alleged discrimination in rates between this city and Arka- delphia. The complaint is in sub stance that the railroad made a rate of s cents on carload of ce- ment billed as lime, when the rate on cement Is IS cents. The rate of $ cents, it is claimed. was given to business competitor of the complainant. The railroads de- fense will be that there was a mis- in the billing.

Macedonia had her Alexander, Rome her Ceasar, America her Washington, but 1t remained for France to eclipse them all with her Napoleon.

ernor would do such q thing from political personal motives, and If he. even, were that kind of a man he has sense enough to know that such i move would injure rather than benefit him. For the handwriting Is already on the wall" that very few of the present members will ever warm a seat in a susequent leg islature. Some men, 1t IS true, will do anything for an office but we are not ready and will ing to believe that Governor Tones IS one of them. He Is a fair man and we have no reason to think him dishonest, hence we believe that he will take his chances for a seat in the senate on high and honorable grounds and not be guilty of resorting to such questionable methods of furthering his interests, as is in- timated in the closing para graph quoted above.

Is IT RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Pat
 ent Medicines7

From sylvan valley News, Breyrad, \. C.
 It may be question whether the editor of newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the various proprietary patent medicines which food tho market, yet as q preventative of suffering we feel it duty to say good word for Chamberlain's s Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy We have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it re- liable. In many cases dose of this remedy would save hours ot suffering while q physician is awaited. We do not believe in de- pending implicitly on any med icine for cure, but we do believe that if bottle of Chamberlain s Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand and apminlstered at the in ception of an attack much suf- fering might be avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our expert ence during the past twenty years.

The Hon. Jefferson Davis has announced himself for Governor. In addressing a member of the leg islaturc, whose support he desires. he has used this language s.The trusts seemed 10 get their assist ance from the supreme court which trey vainly sought at your hands. " This expression cannot be con strued otherwise than base and unwarrauted imputation. To charge the supreme court with rendering assistance to the trusts is slander. In the opinion of the Democrat the Attorney-General is guilty of contempt, and 1t IS with in the discretion of that tribunal whether or not he shall be punish ed as he deserves. Frankly. we doubt the wisdom of taking any cognizance of his letter, and We feel confident the supreme court will ignore it. To proceed against him would afford the desired op- portunity to play the martyr. There is no occasion 10 gratify such an inclination. In announc- ing himself for Governor Mr. Da- wis has eliminated himself from political life. He may conduct his campaingn on the idea that to abuse i Little Rock and make the people believe the press of Little Rock is against him because he is ouch an inveterate foe of trusts and monop- olies is good politics, but we are firmly of the opinion that he will be unable. to foai d majority of the people and by this means secure further preferment.-Ark Demo- crat

Lincoln and Desha counties. Corn is as sorry IS it Is in Drew. Cot ton is very small, and hundreds of acres not chopped. The worms destroyed the late corn. Labor in that section has advanced in price to the point where the farmer is left without anything, and are all Respondent. From the outlook, now, predict the corn crop will be 6o% short of last season and cotton 4oI, notwithstanding our State Department gives such glow ing accounts of the crop. Some | sections of Drew have had rain, while most of the county remains dry.
 l was talking the other day with 3 member of the Horticultural Club in Monticello. He informed me that the Club had made larger shipments this season than before that while last season they made some money, this year their pro. duce was complete loss. They not only failed to realize anything  from ther produce, but had re. eelved notices from the Railroad Company that they were due more freight. So it is plain to be seen that they have lost more this sea son than they have ever made out of it. PAP.

either in ancient or in modern times. He was as cool when 300 cannon were moving down the ranks around him as he was before a drawing-roem door. He threw aside the anticipated forms of war and astonished Europe by his thrilling battles, unriyalled march es, the impetuosity and audiences of his attacks, and by his great victories which changed the desti- nies of nations and caused thrones to totter and fall. Difficulties van ished before the magic of his matchless name as mountain frosts disappear before the king of day.
 He rolled back the northern hordes and proved himself the savior of Italy. He was q second Seipio in Africa and in the land where Alexander had been called, Caesar a god, and Attila had proclaimed himself the "Scourge of God7 Napoleon beheld the faded glory of the ancient Pharaohs. Quick to act, always on the alert, always prepared, knowing no delay, he inspired his soldiers with a sublime courage, that could not be shaken by ordinary dangers, that would not brook defeat. and which laid open the doors of many capitals in Europe. At Arcoli, as the lines waYered before the Austrian onset, he seized flag, drew his sword and led them on to victory. Ma rengo, Austerlitz, Jena, FriedIand, and Wagram were the successive stepping stones by which he mount ed to the dizzy heights of military glory and prowess, and they were the steps by which he obtained the mueh-sought-for title of Emperor. His blood stained soldiers adorned his throne with the trophies of art, and Paris became the seat of art as
 well as of literature. However the fatal idea which prepared the decay of this greatness sometimes recurred from the abyss of the past he wished as the Messiah of the revolution to become media tor of the past and future and king of nations with Paris as the capital.
 In statesmanship his name is em- blazoned in letters of gold, that will shine down the corridors of time, IS long as time exist, and be star in history that will illumi- nate the greatness of a man for ever. His statesmanship was of that high and comprehensive cha acter which knew better than to outface political necessities with practical theories. Being very sa- gaeious and foreseeing in his PoIi- tical plans, he instituted reforms that coferred a lasting favor on man. The Napoleonic Code did for France what the Justinian Code did for Rome. It swept aside the unequal, unjust. and op- pressive customs, which were the laws, decrees, and inheritances of the feudal ages, the ages of cruelty and bondage, and placed the noble and peasant on the same footing socially and otherwise. In this act alone, he conferred an inestimable favor upon mankind.
 Yet Fate had decreed that the star. of his destiny, should sink be- meath the horizon, at Waterloo. Thus the conqueror of conquerors, warrior, and statesman was usher ed from the stage and new era in the worlds history began. His monument is not of man but of eternity. As long as the stars shine, as long as the moon sheds
