Box Factory Secured.

The Box factory for Van Buren, is an
assured thing and its removal here from
Fort Smith is only now question Of
thirty days or less. AS stated in last
weeks issue the committee having the
subscription fund in charge and Mr.. A.
Walton the manager Of the Fort Smith
Basket & Crate factory were at the time
of our going to press in consultation.
The committee offered Mr.. Walton the
bonus which had been raised-$1, 100
and the same was accepted and within
a short time everything had been ar
ranged and the contracts for its removal
to this point signed. Much credit is
due those of our enterprising citizens
who had the matter in charge for its
very satisfactory elimination.
The benefits to be derived from the
location of this plant here by our people
will be many. 1t will give employment
to from thirty to fifty hands, who will
make this their home and spend their
earnings here; it will give our land
owners chance to dispose Of much of
what has been heretofore almost worth
less timber; it will save our fruit grow
ers the freight item on their crate
material; and every car load of material
sent out will be an advertisement for the
town.
The firm which had been incorporated
under the name of Fort Smith Basket
and Crate factory will be re-incorporated
as the Walton. Knox Co. They expect
to make several additions to their al
ready large plant.

At a meeting Of the league held in

Corey made some startling statements
which were reported by the "Times, I"
an anti. Bryan newspaper:
IF ! were to believe the reports
which / have lately received from our
leagues In the various states, he said,
~ should believe that we were already
defeated The signs Of defeat are In
much greater evidence now than they
were when Harrison WAS defeated In
1899, and | will let you into the secret
why we are In such danger 1t Is be-
cause the business men are apathetic
because they do not realize the necessity
Of contributing money to the campaign.

Wall street and tells the great financiers
Of New York what am telling you they

on behalf Of the colored men s league.
Responding to this presentation, Mr..
Bryan said: IL thank you for this Life
Of Lincoln which you have given me and
/ appreciate the complimentary words
employed by Mr.. McGehee In presenting
II. To your race the name of Lincoln
Is sacred one and you may well revere
II, But Lincoln was the friend Of man,
both white and black, He IL among the
immortals and his name will be- forever
linked with tho name Of Washington,
Of Jefferson, and of Jackson. His
philosophy was deep enough TO reach
down to the fundamental principles Of
government his sympathies were broad
enough to embrace I'LL mankind; his
vision was clear enough TO look beyond
the civil war and behold q reunited
country In which there would DO no
sectional lines and In which all the
people would vie with each other In the
effort to add TO the greatness and the
glory Of their common Inheritance.
IN Lincoln were alive he would be
the recipient OF your devotion, but you
have announced your abandonment Of

that the negroes position does not de-.

WHAT SENATOR HoAR SAYS.

WHAT SENATOR HoAR SAYS.
1--WE are asked what we would do In
this difficult emergency. It is a question
not difficult to answer. for one am
ready to answer it.
II would declare now that we would
not take these islands to govern them
against their will.
II would reject cession of sover-
eighty which implies that sovereignty
may be bought and sold without the
consent of the people. Spain had nc
rightful sovereignty over the Philippine
islands. She could not rightfully sell
1t to us. We could not rightfully buy
1t from her.
II would require all foreign govern
ments to keep out of these islands.
II would offer to the people of the
Philippines our help in maintaining
order until they have n reasonable OPP
portunity to establish government Of
their own.
II would aid them by advise, If they
desire it, to set up a free and independent
government.
II would invite all great powers of
Europe to unite in an agreement that
that independence shall not be inter-
fered with by us, by themselves, or by
any one of them without the consent Of
the others.
II would declare that the United
States would enforce the same doctrine
as applicable to the Philippines that we
declare as to Mexico and Hayti and the
South American republics.
II would then, in not distant future,
leave them to work out their own sal.
walton, as every nation on earth from
the beginning Of time, has brought out
Its own salvation Let them work out
their own salvation, as our own ances.
tors slowly and in long centuries wrought
out theirs; as Germany. as Switzerland,
as France, in briefer periods, wrought
out theirs; all Of them within century,
some of them within the life of a gener-
alton. The attempt to impose freedom
from without on any people is to disre.
gard all the lessons of history.

Mr.. Bryan & reply to the presentation
was heartily applauded. Continuing
his speech he said the Republican party
could not force u separation Of the allied
forces, and that II they were to be
whipped they must be whipped together
and not separately. He said the Re.
publicans were hard pressed for issues
In the present campaign, and he predict.
ed that before the campaign was over
they would be forced back on the war Of
rebellion as IN issue as they had already
been forced from the financial question
to the tariff. He predicted further that
as the campaign progressed there would
be more and more of abuse and vituper.
alton, and that the epithets Of traitor
and copperhead would become much
more common.
He talked Of trusts and the Philip.
pines ut length.

No Hope for Negro Jurors.

&c. Duke of the Pine Bluff Herald, -
one of the leading Republican negro
editors of the state, sees no hope for
success in the movement to secure jury
service for negroes.
1--WE have been asked to assist, he
says, "'in an agitation now going on in
che negro press Of the state in behalf of
negro Jurors. S. A. Jones, Esq OF
Little Rock, has appealed the case of
one Eastling, convicted in Perry county,
of this state, and sentenced to hang for
murder, on the ground that colored men
were not allowed to sit on his jury.
The case will be taken to the supreme
court Of the United States, as we under
stand 1t, but we have just as much
hopes of the devil selling out hell to
Beelzebub, and repenting and becom.
ing a disciple of Jesus Christ, as we
have of the supreme court of the United
States discovering any right which the
negro has that white man is bound to
respect. It can't help it; the United
States supreme court Is built that way.
Thus said. we are done with the negro
jury question.

We fully agreed with Democrat

was gross neglect and an outrage upon
the tax. payers of the county, who de.

that strong efforts would DO made 10
have the court appropriate money for

between here and Alma and also one TO

back their claims and II was expected
that they would make u strong effort to
have Nm appropriation for their bridge
project made. A good deal OF contro.
kersy was INDUCED IN and IN the end
both projects were voted down. We
