A house Of death-and yet no gloom

"A pleasant place I find IL still,
As 1t has been of yore.
The hands that set the rooms Alright,
Inc feet that tread the floor,
Are no less swift to serve her now
Than they have been before.
The chamber of her soul she swept,
And garnished il within;
a place of sweet propriety
And fragrance it has been,
To which a holy visitor
Most GladIy entered in,
For 10 the inmate of the room
n guest was near of kin.
Ard now both host and guest have gone
Beyond the utmost star;
The darkeaed chamber they have left
To dwell in lands afar;
n fair estate they two have won,
Which hath nor hedge nor bar,
In the sweet light of God Himself,
Where many mansions are.

Has never looked more fair,
The fragrance of a hundred blooms
Is stealing up the stair,
The thrill Of that long pilgrimage
Is on the quiet air,
Oh. blessed hour, than bliss itself

Mclean Superstition.

Translated from a Chinese paper:
"The Mclean people r a great peo-
pie. They have many schools and large
industries. We're it not for their SUPER
stition they would be superior to all
other foreign devils. They believe that
Mack-Kin-Lee, their president, makes
the crops grow and so regulates the
earth that it yields gold, silver and all
other metals in abundance. Some OF
the Melicans do not believe this, but
most of them do, or Mack-Kin-Lee
would not have been made president

Misplaced Energy.

If the republican newspapers whose
editors are throwing fits over the
"disfranchisement of the negro in
North Carolina were to devote their
surplus energies and funds to the
education of the unfortunate negro in
that state, there would be no disfran-
ehisement to furnish them a theme
for their howlings. The new consti-
tuition approved at the recent election
in North Carolina does not disfran-

This nation is said to be in a stats
of peace, yet over 100000 are spent
every month in prosecuting tire war
in the Philippines and the Chinese
trouble is rapidly absorbing the sur
plus war taxes which were piling up
in the treasury.
The war tax comes home to the for
eign born citizen. It meets him at
every urn. 1t reminds him forcibly
of his native country, where every
thing was taxed, even to the number
of windows and doors in a house.
With one-third of our revenues al
ready absorbed by military expendi-
lures, the average farmer and wage
worker is already beginning to under
stand the feelings of the continental
serf, where it is said that every pro-
Queer carries a soldier on his back.

Gen. Wood, after visiting Washing

memory of UNPUBLISHED postal and
custom frauds still fresh the Cubans
must wonder just what kind of a
constitution will plesSe this admin
istration. 1t surely cannot be mod

cause the republicans already label

The Daily Texarkanian., 1900-02-19

Where a man has held an Office
for a single term and has been faith
full, diligent and efficient in the dis
charge of duty, he should be grant
ed a second term if he desires it.
This is the unwritten law among
Democrats in Arkansas, which ap-
plies to all officers from governor
down to constable. On the other
hand, when an official has been
wantonly negectful in the discharge
of duty he should not be reelected
to office or given any other Office,
but should be retired at ouCe to
private life. An official, like the
attorney, general of this state, who
abandons his official duties and
spends FIVE days out of six away
from the capital seeking a higher
Office, should receive a proper re-
buke at the hands of the people.
When a man wilfully refuses to per.
form work that he has taken an
oath to perform he should go into
retirement. Arkansas Democrat.

H. C. Kelley.

Mr.. Henry Z. Kelley, in this is
sue, tells the people that he would
like to be their County Judge, this
after repeated solicitations on the
part of his friends from different
portions of the county.
Mr.. Kelley is a native of Miller
county, and has never been out of
the county except when business
has called him from home. He is
now engaged with the Pee Gee rail.
road, as land and timber agent .aGd
has held this important position for
the past five years. He is also well
known here as having been a clerk
in the postofice under his brother,
Col. W. R. Kelley, and in both posi-
lions he gave satisfaction in the
one, and is yet holding to his place
in the other.
Mr.. Kelley enlisted IN the Conted
crate army when he was Is years
old and was not mustered out until
the end of the war. He made a
good soldier, His neighbors where
be has lived all have a good word
for him and there is nothing against
his character to keep him from
holding this responsible Office.
Mr. Kelley is a staunch Democrat
and he leaves it with the Democrats
at the primary, whether they want
him to serve them as their County
Judge or not. We ask for him a
careful consideration of his claims.

Abolition OF Prison Lock step.

To the uninitiated the loCkstep Is
an interesting performance. 1t or
lginated from the necessity of
handling large bodies of convicts as
compactly as possible Each mans
hands rest upon the shoulders, while
his knees fit into the backs of the
knees of the man before him. This
necessitates a short, shlf1ling step,
aud swaying motion, which it is
claimed seldom leaves him. For this
reason It's abolition is urged. This
demonstrates the power of habit
Another habit hard to get rid of is
constipation; but there is a remedy
that will cure this, as well as dys
pepsia, Indigestion and biliousuess.
