partments.

leave privileges received by those here

tion against the former should ceasr

Our good friend, T. o. Fitzpa,

Our good friend, T. o. Fitzpat- patrik ex-circut clerk, and ex-rep- resentative from this county, is a candidate for congress upon the republican ticket. Tom is a good fellow. Got plenty of horse sense, too, and his neighbors and lots of friends m a social way would like to see him drawing. the salary and "per9uisites" of the big office; but alas, his politics wont wash. The following from the Cross County News expresses the situation exact y: "Mr. Fitzpatrick is one of the best known Republicans in. the dis trict, s thorough gentleman, an hon. est, upright citizen, loved and re- spected by his neighbors and friends. If, together with his other good traits of citizenship, he was an advocate of Democracyihe would be hard to turn down. Yet ii matters not as to his social and personal status as Republican, he will meet with the same fate as his predoces- sors who have made the race on the Republican ticket for that posi- ton. This district is largely Dem ocratic and any Republican that as pires to represent 1t in the councils of the nation is sure 10 be buri ed be meath an avalanche of Democratic ballots. As man and a cT1lzen there is no one that stands higher, but as a Republican office seeker Mr. Fitzpatrick will sow the winds and reap whirlwind- We are sorry of his candidacy, for we re- gret to see such good man and friend sacrifice himself on the altar of his party.

Worthy of The Office.

Gen. Powell Clayton and the members of the Republican state central committee have decided that Hon. Jacob Trieber shall be the successor 10 the late Hon. John A. Williams, us judge of the United States district court for the Eastern district of Arkansas. The appoint- ment will probably be made within the next week or ten days, and there will be no objection to the confirmation of the nomination when it Is sent to the senate in De- cember next. Judge Trieber is a Republican, but not an offensive one. He Is man of broadgauged ideas, cool and lev el-headed, an able lawyer, an untiriHg student, and one who is capable of filing the position of a federal Judgship to the supreme satisfaction of all lovers of justice. Judge Treber is as thoroughly identified with the best interests of Arkansas as any man born and reared Tn the state. His appointment will be a deserving one. He is we'll equip ped for the position. There is no member of the party in this state more worthy of being the successor of Judge John Williams. The sc- lection of Judge Trieber will meet with no objection from any Dem ocratie source in Arkansas. .-G a- zette.

The State Democratic Platform

Following is the platform i'll full as adopted at the democratic convention:
 The democratic party of Arkansas in convention assembled. reneWs its a!Iegi- ance 10 the time -honored principles of the party and declares as follows:
 We indorse the national platform of the democratic party adopted at Chicago, in it's nationial convention Of 1896 and re- affirm the principles therein rmunciated
 We recognize the Monroe doctrine as cardinal tenet of the democratic party and prior to the present republican admins tration was part of the public policy of the national government, and we favor it's strict observance, and we are opposed to any agreement secret or otherwise. with any foreign power, by which the princi- ples of this doctrine might be surrendered or abridged.
 We are in favor of the United States government building and constructing the Nicarauguan canal, and that il own, con- trol and manage the same.
 Regarding with pride and satisfaction the successful development of our public school system. we pledge lhe democratic party to its perpetual support and main tenance. and we recommend that the state continue to provide for the payment of the interest on the state bonds now be- longing to the school funds.
 We are opposed to the donation of the public lands of the United States or of the state of Arkansas 10 private corporations
 We denonnce the trusts and all illegal combinations in restraint of trade; or that have for their purpose the control of the markets or products of the country. and we endorse the actions of the last leglsla- ture in passing laws for the purpose of re- straining their operations in this state, and pledge the democratic party to the passage of such laws as will effectually prohibit the operations Of all such combi. nations in the state Of Arkansas.
 We charge that inherent rights under our constitutions have been assailed by the president of the United States by his de nial of self-government to the Filipinos and his refusal to treat with them.
 We maintain that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. We therefor insist that the snbjngation of any people is crime and eontemptuons disloyalty to the distinctive principles of cur government.
 Liberty is a common heritage to all men in all lands and we therefore resolutely condemn the death dealing policy of the republican administration in the Philip. pines.
 We are opposed to the annexation by the United States Of any country by force. because We believe the right of local self government to be the basic principle of this republic.
 We are opposed to wars Of conquest. and insist upon the pledges made the people of tuha by congress being carried out at the earliest practical moment, and we demand mat the same rights promised by congress 70 me people Of Cuba be accorded to the people of the Philippine Islands.
 And with full appreciation or what such things mean by our own sad expert. enee at the hands Of the republican party, ~- denounee the carpelbag government toisted on the people Of Porte Rico and Cu-

We demand the enactment ot such laws by our legislature as shall prohibit corporations which belong io pools, trusts or combinations in restraint Of trade. no matter where organized, from business in the state Of Arkansas. and that It shall exclude them from its sorderss
 Recognizing labor as the foundation or all true prosperity. we recommend the passage of all such laws as will protect the iaborers of the state to the fullest ex- tent in the enjoyment of all their rights.

True psmoeratle DoetrIne

Democracy does not mean h. perialism. The flag Of cur cosa- try carries with Ii freedom, not slavery. Wherever it floats today it signifies justice; humanity. peace. Its inspiration was received from angel hands and its hope the offspring of the gods. The morn ing sun never kissed the mountain peak with sweeter rays than the hopes and aspirations its futtering folds bring to any people over which 1t waves. It cannot die. Behind it stand the common people of the greatest country on the globe. They gave that flag life. It is with the blood of a thousand battlefelds. Its power has been written in song and wreathed in the hearts of millions of people. It once fioated over slave, but It never will again. It stands for liberty the world over. It means the same thing in Colorado that it does in Georgia; in Washington that it does in Manila. It needs no introduction 10 any people over which 1t shines. Liberty never faltered where it floats, aud human ity was. not degredea where it's power was recognized. Where ever q human being to-day may dwell; whether iR darkest Africa or the frozen north, or beneath the e9uator's burning sun, if that flag IS floating there 1t means eternal justice and freedom to all.
 Imperialism, militarism and trusts are one. They mean a gi- gan,ic consolidation and woe to the common people when they are united. Imperialism can not be q success without a standing army. The youth of this country were not intended by man or God to become soldiers at home or in a foreign land. We are not legslating for today, but for the untold thou sands yet unborn. Oh, Democracy of to-day, leave q record that the generations yet to como will sing our praises as we do that of our Democratic fathers.
 Leglslate for humanity and not trusts. The Democratic party has ever stood for lower taxation. It believes as President Arthur said that taxation in any form is hard ship, and tt does not believe that i is either just or right that an indi vidual should be taxed to satisfy private greed or public plunder. The common people view wltf alarm the present tendency to in. crease taxation. They cheerfully withstood the increased tax pu upon them by reason of the lat, war; they bore it as patriotic duty They witnessed the Supreme Court of the United States declaring un. constitutional tax placed upor income, the most just law ever passed, but not . word said agains a tax placed upon the producing masses of the United States.

Reports from various corners of the earth indicate that the problem of hired help is becoming serious. And it is not q matter of wages either. We believe that the labor CT is worthy of his hire and that a man or woman should be paid as much as they earn. We also be. lieve in the principle that they should earn what they are paid something that a large number do not do. But this is not the matter with the labor famine. It is traced largely to vagrancy fostered by the back door hand out or the skirt pocket pilfering of inside "fricnds. '' There is ample law on the statute books to reach these ciasses,r and they should be enforced against both without regard to race, color or previous condition. Vagra nts should be required 10 work, and work hard. If there is class on earth undeserying of sympathy, il is the every day dry goods box artist.

FOUR DROWNlNGS

And One Death by Burning is Sad
Record For One Day-Peculiar
Death of Mrs. Boyd.
PITTSBURGH. Pa. Aug. 1s.-Four
drownings and one death by burning is
Pittsburgh's fatal accident record for
the day.
The dead: l{,s II
Chris Paffenbach. aged fifty, FELL from
raft in the Allegheny river and was
drowned.
Edward G. Briiiinger, eight years old,
fell from q raft while fishing In the
Allegheny river, and was under and
drowned before his father, who was a
short distance away, could rescue him.
James Gallagher and Hugh McGrady,
boys. were drowned together while
swimming In the Monongahela. Nc
Grady got beyond his depth and Gala
CHER In attempting to rescue him was
pulled under and neither came to the
surface again.
Mrs. Mary C. Boyd, wife OF the as
s!stant superintendent of the New York
& Cleveland Coal Company, at Oak
Hill, was burned to death in peculiar
manner. She was cleaning a rusty
saw and was using what she thought
was elaine oil as cleanser. She placed
the five gallon can on the floor about
six feet from the stove and turned
around to get rug. Immediately
there was an explosion. She ran from
the house a mass OF flames and though
her husband quickly wrapped her in, a
blanket and smo,hered the flames, she
was so badly burned that she died in
agony three hours later. Mr.. Boyd
thinks his wife had the gasoline can In
stead OF the oil can, which would nc,
count for the explosion. While the
neigibors were working over Mrs.
Boyd, her house burned to the ground.
