w. II. H. Cobb, Of this city,
boldly aud commercially calls at
tention to the need of State sup

%icines, many of which contain
poisonous drugs and enslaving
concoctions.
Bearing on this suject DR.. Cobb
said:
"lt is q tri5e saying that the
"American people love to be fool
ed and humbogged." A little in
vestigation develops the fact that
not only the Iaity, but also the
profession itself, is being success
fully assailed alnng the lines of
tael .eutjcai III Ysticism and hum
bnggery. Alcohol In it's various
Guia4z; opium and its derivatives;
lcacaiae ard Is salts; and the coal
tar prep r&ti US, which may be
represented b. acatanal,d, are exe
c%e'lent medicines, but they r not
toys, aud because the capidity' of
the noslrum maker has enticed
the people tn make them such they
are damning men morally and
raining men physically, and all
unchallenged.
sit is sad enough when the
grog shop secures new victim,
but the State has protected him in
boyhood by refusing to permit the
saloon keeper to furnish him drink
until he has attained the presuma-
bic years of discretion; then, if he
enter those portals to sacrifice
health, hocor and happiness, he
does it with eyes and ears open
and without having been inecu-
la:ed with the depraved appetite
or having been deceived and ca~
joled into "a moral slavery.
"But what protection does the
S5a,e vouchsafe the helpless babe
and the al. too credulous adult in
the use of ready-made medicines?
Every form of alcohol, opium, Co
caine, acetaneiid aud their iik are
to day offered for sale in every
| city and hamlet in the land.
"The existence of high percent
ages Of these and other poisonous
drugs in nearly every proprietary
medicine rendered the laity has not
been duly recognized by them, nor
received at the hands Of the pro-
fession the full attention the I'M
portance of the subject merits.
This is all the more strange since
numerous analyses have been made
by capable chemists, under au-
thority of boards Of health, and
the results of such examinations
duly published in the public rec

from the report to the Massachu-

ence to the relation which the per.
centage of alcohol they were found

to the admission of the presenct

SCARCITY OF FOOD

LONDON, Aug 1.-The allies be-

morning" announces an agency
bulletin, dated at Shanghai, at L a.
m. today.
It is assumed that the Americans,
British and Japanese are taking
part ia this forward movement,
whether other Municipalities are or
not. An advance base will proba-
bly, be established twenty or thirty
miles nearer Pekin, and supplies
will be assembled preparatory to
direct stroke at the capital.
Of the 10000 allies debarked at
Pc Chi Ii ports, English military
observers consider that 80. 600 are
available for an advance beyond
Tien Tsin. The Chinese forces, ac-
cording to the vague gatherings of
the allies intelligence officers up to
July q, were disposed IN great
arc thirty miles long and distant
ten or fifteen miles. The numbers
aud exact location Of the several
divisions are utterly unknown. The
Pei Ho river is blockaded by sunken
stone laden lunks for twenty miles
beyond Tien Tsin and further up,
according to Chinese spies of the
allies, dam has been constructed
for the purpose of flooding the low
lying expanse of country
| The first engagement of the relief
expedition will be at Pei Tang.

The following information was
brought to Tien Tsin Wednesday,
July 25, by Chinese missionary
student who was sent to the Brit
ish legation at Pekin: He was un-
able to deliver the message intrust-
ed to him, and left Pekin July Is.
He saw few troops between Pekin
and Yang Tsum. No works had
beer constructed. Food in Pekin
was scarce, and the city would be
quite unable to endure siege.
Among the scraps of information
brought by another courier who left
Pekin July ID was the fact that
Gen. Ma, a notable Boxer chief,
had been killed by the legationers.

THE LETTER OF GOV. FISH
BACK ABOUT JEFF DAVIS,
REMARKS
MR.. H R. c. FOSTER.
Predicts Davis Election by
Ger $4,000 Major
ity.

The letter written by Ex-Gov
ernor Fshback to Hon. Gray Car
roll, relative to taking a part 10 the
campaign in the interest OF jeff
Davis, and the refusal of Mr.. Fish
back to do so, has excited no little
interest among local politicians.
Mr.. Fl. r. C. Foster. whose 10y
atty to the party is unquestioned,
and who since his residence in Pine
Bluff has taken an active interest in
all that BODIED good for Democracy,
this morning remarked to a Graphic
representative:
Coming from a naan.6f his prom
inenee as Democrat, think Gov.
Fishback's letter untimely and out
of place. Mr.. Davis is the regular
nominee of the Democratic party.
He has always been Democrat,
and at all times has given his ser
vice to the support Of his party.
Gov. Flshbaek says:
=. Z am one of those men who be-
lieve that the t. usts of this country,
born and bred under the corrupt
legislation of the Republican party.
constitute the most serious menace
to the institutions Of our nation
that now coufronts the American
people
IF this paragraph be true from
the Elk Governors standpoint, why
shou d be oppose Mr.. Davis and
support that part
There are hers to be considered
in the Democratic party than Mr..
DAVIS, and Mr.. F,shoack should
have realized this AID lent his aid to
the election OF the Democratic nom
inee. He says the insurance trust,
the steel trust, the wire trust, the
Standard Oh trust, or the beef
trust, all of which are robbing the
people by the million, could each
have afforded to pay Mr.. Davis one
hundred thousand doilas to drop all
suits against the trusts, and pursue
the course be has. Is there any
evidence that Mr.. Davis was offered
one cent from these trusts to pur-
sue the course be has? The people
throughout the state have almost
unanimously endorsed him for gov
ernor against gentlemen OF ability,
integrity aud honor. Knowing as
they did of these trusts and believ-
ing Mr.. DAVIS to be true TO the
principals OF Democracy, | see no
reason why every Democrat in the
state should not only support him
as a voter, bat do all in his power
to insure Mr.. Davis election.
now predict that Mr.. Davis will be
elected by over 50, 600 majority and
hope every true Democrat las |
thirk every true Democrat will
will fall in line and rally to Mr..
Davis support and even increase
this majority"
