Republican Convention Meeting.

Postmaster Foreman came home
yesterday morning from Little
Rock and left this morning for
Camden to attend the Congressional
Convention. He said he got all he
wanted in the State Convention,
that is he got his man in as a dele
gate to the National Republican
Convention, who was none other
than Floyd Thompson. 1t seems
that it was resolved that no Office
holder under appointment should be
sent to the convention as delegates,
but the office holding element took
care to send men whom they could
depend on to do their bidding. We
asked Postmaster Foreman if it
was the intent tion of the convention
at Camden to put out candidate
for Congress, and he said, 81 could
not say further than that we will
not put out a candidate at the
meeeing to-day, but will discuss the
'advisability of so doing" This we
think very kind in the Republicans,
and know their kindness lies in their
inability to land a candidate in of.
fee after nominating one. The Re-
publican party in Arkansas reminds
us of a rudderless ship tossed about
and manned by a hungry crew
ready to get off or on as the
exigencies arise. Only a few leaders
just enough for the places to be
filed, remains in the party in Ark
ansas, and many of them are Demo.
Gratis in feelings, only they are
fishing in waters where they know
they can make cook catch, when
the prosperity wave has set in.

Mr.. Johnson of the Street Fair
Company, who will furnish attrac-
tions for the fair here, stopped OIL
here yesterday from Chicago on his
way to Waco. He looked at the
preparations being made and ex-
pressed satisfaction at what he saw.
He said 81 have attended many
Street Fairs as manager, and can
say that you are preparing one of

There is humorous side 10 the foreign
troubles in China. The chief engineers of the
railway that is being built through Shan
Tung Province by the Germans complained 70
a Taotai or local Governor, that the people
pulled up and carried off the stakes that his
surveyors had driven into the ground to guide
the construction gangs in grading the right Of
way so that he had been compelled 10 do the
work over three or four times The Ta0tai
promised that the mischief should stop, and
said that he would give the matter his personal
attention. The surveyors went over the line
again and marked it out carefully with wooden
pegs. When they came back few weeks later
they were Disguised To find that every one OF
the markers for miles had disappeared. The
chief engineer in the heat of his wrath rushed
to the Taotai to make complaint, and the lat-
ter, with a smile chat was chiltilke and bland,
attempted to suothc him. say ing:
