Trouble Among Republicans.

Information as TO the second schism
in the Republican national organization
came TO the Democratic Committee in a
letter from New York man close to
MIR. Hanna and leading lieutenants Of
the Ohian, says Saturdays Chicago
Chronicle. The writer says that Hanna
Is worried by the news of a conspiracy
entered into by Plat, Quay, Harrison
and Tom Reed to keep out OF the cam.
paign and in other more active ways to
assist in the defeat Of Mckinley. Plat 5
efforts and interests are said TO be re.
served exclusively for the Governorship
aud Legislature of New York. Quay is
TO shelve the National fight to devote
his energies TO the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature, which he hopes again to control
in the interest of his senatorial ambi-
tions. The chief cause for the worry
that resulted in Hanna's recent illness
and temporary breakdown are ascribed
by this inside information to fears that
the extensive defections from the Re.
publican ranks will result IN the loss of
several states, among them that of the
boss own Ohio. Illinois and Wisconsin
are named as two of the others about
which the big Republican boss is most
troubled.

Hang Them Promptly.


Two Italian anarchists have been ar
rested. reported to have come 70 this
country for the purpose of assassinating
President Mckinley. They should be
hung as quickly as their guilt is ascer-
tanned and the law and courts will per-
mt. There should be no dallying. no
delay, and not even mercy. These vile
miscreants would kill Mckinley only
because he, as President, is the repre-
sentative Of established government,
and they kin Kings and other rulers for
the same cause. There is no reasoning
with such people, and the only way TO
deal with them, after you certainly
know their guilt, is quick, sure and GER

 Mir. Whitelaw was seen by a Graphic represent atiye and said:
 Owing to a combina ton of cir eumstauces over which I have no control. and with the advice and consent of my friends with whom l consulted about the matter, I have decided to withdraw from the race for City Attorney Of Pine Bluff.

r,,,terate Russian Peasants.

The illiteracy of Russia exceeds tna' of any other country claiming to nave . civilized government. The Humanl- tartan states that in 10000 villages or the vast empire there is not a school. and it is estimated that not 2o per cent of the population of the empire has acquired even the rudiments of a common school education. It has been figured out that if the ezar would dis band 100. GOO men of his immense army he would thereby save money enough to provide a school for each of these villages. It is not surprising that the czar should desire to reach some ar engagements with the other nations which would permit him to partially disarm.

A Splendid Concert.

/. The Sunday school orchestra of the
Congregational church gave q very
creditable concert last Friday evening
in the church, assisted by other musi-
cal artists of DEBORAH.
Miss Olson, the interesting contralto
singer of Chicago, sang three selections
which were appreciated by the audi
ence. The program from beginning to
end was all good, and the vocal and
instrumental solos and quartetts
called out hearty applause. The pro-
gram was lengthy and three selections
were left out for good reasons. 1t was
disappointment to many of the
audience as those who were to renoer
these selections were among the best
talent of our city.
The good work being done by Miss
Taylor as teacher in voice culture
was manifest in the singing of one of
her pupils, and Miss Nora Riley,
organist and directress of the orchestra,
deserves much credit for her energy
and hard work in preparing so good an
entertainment. Those of us who had
the pleasure of an acquaintance with
Miss Olson, found her one of the very
best entert ,iners we have met for
many day.
