The leading republicans OF this
state were very much put out at
the appointment of Hon. G. X.
Breckenridge as member of the
Dawes Commission. As related
in the Democrat yesterday, they
protested vigorously against his
confirmation. The cause of com.
plant was that he occupied the
seat in congress for which the late
Hon. John NJ. Clayton was con.
testing at the time he was assas.
sinated at Plummerville. Mr..
breckenridge was not charged with
any connection with that crime
noreany knowledge of it, but it was
contended that he was the bene6.
ciary and therefore should not be
the recipient of favors from re
publican administration. Mr.. Nc
Kinley, it appears, made the ap
pointment without consulting any
member of the republican party
in Arkansas. A protest agains
confirmation was filed yesterday
but confirmation of the appoint
ment followed in due course. I'm
doubtedly if the republicans o
this state had any chance they
would rebuke the administration
severely for thus ignoring them
Mr.. Breckenridge has held many
positions of public trust and ha'
manifested distinguished ability il

litical enemies will not deny tina
he is eminently well fitted for

| 1t may not be too late yet to ex
tend the corporate limits of For
rest City in order that the refu,'
of the census will show her to be
a city of the second class, but time
is fleeting and very limited. THE
TINES respectfully called attention
to the importance of official action
in this matter and has been great.
ly disappointed that nothing has
been done. We consider this a
matter of vital Importance and un.
less attended TO in time to be
shown IN the censns returns the
town will suffer an injustice as 10
its real population tor another
decade. just as it has already SUIT
fered much ignominy by reason OF
the figures reported in the census
OF 1890. The figures given in that
census were always misleading and
never true, because a large pro-
portion of the town proper was
not included. The consequences
have been that our town has been
looked upon, thought of and
treated as a small village of Sec
ondary consideration and unworthy
the notice of capitalists, homeseek-
iers, factory builders and others
who are looking out for invest
ments, etc., whereas the fact is
that Forrest City has for ten years
or longer been an ideal town for
jail these classes. There are many
advantages to be gained by having
the population shown up in the
official census at lis correct figure.
In order to do this the corporate
lines must be extended so as to
take in much of the city that is
now outside. There is no ques-
ton in our mind that Forrest CITY
has upwards of $500 inhabitants.
This entities her to the distinction
of being a city of the second class,
and to be "a city of the second class
under the laws of this state carries
with it many advantages and
privileges which an incorporated
town may not enjoy. If the au-
thorities will act quickly, their
grievous oversight may yet be
remedied.

1t is generally conceded, says
the Arkansas Demo crat. that Sem
ators Jones and Berry are to be
sent TO the national convention
Senator Jones holds the highest
position on the national demo
cratic committee, and his services
to the party will be invaluable,
besides his presence will add no
little to the credit of the state de-
mocracy. Senator Berry is no less
deserving and will add distinction
TO our state delegation.

Before the rains there was much
complaint that the crops were
burning up, ard that unless they
should get a season soon they
would be ruined. They have had
the season. And now every fellow
you meet declares that the crops
are ruined, or will be if the rain
don't stop. We think there is en-
tirely too much complaining, and
that the crops wilt be an average,
and that the Lord can attend TO
the little matter of the weather a
great deal better than any of we
mortals. So don't worry. Join
