ON SATURDAY
THE JEFFERSON COUNTY
CONVENTION WILL MEET
IN PINE BLUFF.
IS IT MCCOY OR GOULD ?
Or Core or Alexander 7-Ninety-
Six Delegates Will Decide
the Matter.
IS IT MCCOY OR GOULD ?

In accordance with the resolution
passed at the last meeting of the
Democratic central committee of
Jefferson county, the Dem oeratie
county convention is to meet in this
city tomorrow Saturday morning
at II o'cloch. Chairman Jesse D.
Bush, of Dexter, and Secretary G.
E. Lyle, of Altheimer, of the old
central committee, will preside
when the convention is called to or
der.
At the primary election which
was held in this city and county on
last Saturday, JuLe 9, there were
ninety-slx delegates chosen to rep
resent the Democracy of the various
wards and townships Ia the eonven-
ton, that will be called to order in
this city Saturday. The delegates,
besides selec ing represen tatiYes to
the State convent ton, to register
the will Of the Democratic voters as
to candidates for State offices, will
have to decide or determine who are
the real nominees for the Offices of
sheriff aud treasurer of Jefferson
county.
The Jefferson county central COM
mittee at its recent meeting, which
which was called to investigate
charges, declared that Fl. A. Mccoy
and Jesse L Core we're the nominees
for the respective Offices. Messrs.
Gould and Alexander are contesting
the election, their grounds of con-
ten ton being that there were irreg-
plarities or frauds committed in GER
tain townships and wards in the In
terest of Messrs. Mccoy and Core.
The convention on tomorro "
should decide the ques ton honestly
aud fairly, no matter who is hurt.
If Mccoy anC Core have received
the nomination fair and square, give
it to them, #, on tie other hand,
Gould and Alexander are the pomi
nees, they should receive the plums.
Then, again. If neither of them have
won the honors fairly, they should
all be turned down and honest men
put in their places.
In the conven ton tomorrow there
will be two delegations from the
First ward, in which two different
political meetings were held during
the past ten days and convent ton
delegates selected at each.
The represen tatlon each township
and ward is entitled to in the con-
vention is as follows:

that the missionaries of all the sects are prone
to gather them into schools and OTphanaSes-
Some PrOtestants charge the Roman Catholic
workers with counting ba bieS converts; but
it seemed to me that all alike strive to gather IN
many children possible. There is sense IN
doing so-or would be, it not for what l
am coming to. 1t is in this way that their
enemies are provided with terrible weapon
easy and fierce way of stirring the people
against them.
Why do they want the children"' these agt-
tators ask why do many die on their hands
1t is easy tC see. They carry lOOk-see' boxes
Photographic cameras). What of that? why
those boxes have TO be filled with eyes in order
to look-see. Well. these are the eyes Of Chinese
children. And that is by means all. These
white people have bad liVerS and take our chill
dren's livers TO cure themselves. They cut out
the children's hearts and dry them 10 grind into
powder which they take a a medicine, hoping
TO acquire Chinese courage. Every part of our
same parts of these foreign devils and their
friends. We know very well in our own medical
practice that nothing cures like but like, and
these foreign devils the various parts of our
children use the eyes Of hawks and OF flies
for ophthalmia, the liVers of deer for blousneSS,
the hearts Of tigers to cure heart disease ana
tmdty."
Curiousy enough the most successful OF our
missionaries have been the many medical men
They alone have been able to meaSuraby i'm
press all classes of the Chinese by effecting
cures where native quackery has failed. But the
opposition, hatred and violence aroused by mis-
sion work among the homeless children and the
children of the very poor have made most or
what the white critics in the treaty ports charge
against the missionaries-Which is nothing less
than being the cause Of all the trouble there is
in China"

Of any ordinary workingman.
There is a vast work done by the charitable
societies. There are many who need their help
some doubtless, who would seek to impose on
them. But in general it may be said with
safety that the poor Of New-York are neigh
borly and self-respecting to high degree. When
the better class Of workngman accepts charity
It is because he is absolutely beyond his last
resource.
The feeling does not apparently extend to
fresh air societies, excursions. free entertain
ments and the like. Those will be always well
coined, and it never seems to occur to the poor
to resent them. They quite appreciate the spirit
that inspires such work, and do not brand it
with the hated name of charity" But against
the acceptance Of money the self-respecting
working people fight to the bitter end, and all
their neighbors and their relatives unto the third
and fourth generation band together to help
them owe man anything, but to love one
another" is a precept the spirit of which is no.
where better appreciated than among the poor.

The proprietor OF a toy shop in a popular

upon an ingenious way Of advertising his wares.
He noticed that strangers who came there IN
varably amused themselves by walking along
the beach and picking up the shells. At
tritling outlay he procured a wagonload OF
mUssel shells, and upon their white interiors
stamped in red ink an advertisement OF his
business Every morning he sent out a boy
with a basketful Of these small circulars TO dis
tribute along he beach The visitors eagerly
picked them up and the toy Dealers business
is said to have reaped reward from this dreadful
ingenuity.

for the Beers swarmed-in the London

face to face with only the river be-
