dilema of having to select men torepresent them, who were not in sympathy with their views upon local and general legisla- tion. It might be the means of bringing forward an opposition party, while though, possibly not formidable, would most like ly be quite troublesome.
 Hence, to be on the safe side, and where no harm, and possi- bly much good would be accom- plished for Democracy and the country, 1t will doubtless be best to have the District and County officers nominated later in the summer. Srch would have no smell of snap proceedings.

The ceremony will occur at the First Methodist Church at 5 o'clock in the after noon and Rev. James A. Ander- son will officiate and he will be as- sisted by Rev John F. Carr.

 The bride-elect is the daughter of Mrs. J. H. Eddins, and is a charming and popular young wom- an. Her home has been in this city since childhood, and all who have known her have learned to love her. Her admirers have been many, and 1t is with universal re- gret that her legion of friends will learn of her intended departure from our city. MT. Niggh is an enterprising young grocery mer- chant of San Antonia. He was born and reared in that city and

A friend.
In Memory of Cora Landers.

The Death Angel has again vis- ited the home of MT. and Mrs. H. R. Landers and clasped in its icy embrace, the dear form of their eldest daughter, Cora. All that medical skill and human hands was done that could be.
 Last Wednesday morning, while surrounded by the weeping family and loving friends her sweet life passed away, back to the God who gave 1t. Cora had been in bad health for nearly year but for the past four weeks she had been con fined to her bed. Her sufferings were great, yet she bore them with out a murmur. She waited patient ly for more than a week on the very brink of the river, as 1t seem- ed that she must soon pass over to rest. Cora had loving disposi- tion; her influence is still felt and her kind words will never be for gotten. Her noble life proved to the world that she had not lived in vain. She bore her cross brave- ly and has gone home to wear her crown, While it grieves her par ents and loved ones to give her up and they miss her sweet face and cheerful words more than can be expressed; yet there is nothing so sweet as to know that she Is now at rest.
 She leaves a heart-broken father and mother, one sister and two brothers. But to these weeping ones we would say, grieve not, she is at rest. Only d few more years and you will be reunited in that home where tears and sorrow are not known. She is now waiting with her dear sister and brothers to welcome your coming. If you will live and walk in the way that she would have you go, you will soon meet again to part no more. We cannot see why it was that she should be taken; but some day we will know and understand it all. God is a just God, and makes no mistakes and it is his will and

woman will be confined in the Arkansas penitentiary while l am Gov, unless the Legislature should give me a reform school, which is a suitable place for their incarceration" !"
 Now, in this connection, we desire to say that we fear that our Governor is allowing his chivalry to override his better judgment. His avowed, public declaration is a bid for bad women to commit felonies, less than capital What good would it do for juries to convict wom- en of robbery, assault with in tent to kill, grand larceny, burglary, slander' &c., when it is authoritatively announced that they will be pardoned by the Governor, because the legis- latures have not provided him with a soft place to keep them? The fact IS, Mir. Davis is off his base as to the primary objects of a Reform School, anyway.
 They are intended for the reformation of the ineorrigible youths of the country, and not for old criminals, steeped in crime, be they men or women. The law knows no difference sbe- tween bad men and bad women. and holds them to the same ac- countability for their criminal acts. Mr. Davis should recon slider his decision, at once, or an- other man should be elected Governor of Arkansas.

FRANC0-TURKISH CRISIS.

So serious is the situation out lined by the latest cablegrams con corning the Franco-Turkish crisis that the apprehension of sudden outbreak of war between the two countries has foundation more substantial than war tremors us- ually boast.
 The French Government is said to have sent Admiral Gaillard' $ squadron to sea under instruc- tions to seize Turkish port, pre- sumably that of Smyrna, which is the most exposed on the Mediter- ranean, and appropriate the cus- tom revenues 10 meet Turkeys ob- legations to France. The Sultan, we are informed, has resolved not to submit to the demands of France, mInes are being placed in the Dar- danelles and orders have been is- sued for the instant mobilization of two Turkish army corps. All this looks very much as if war was i'm minent.
 When 1t is remembered, also, that some time ago Russia and France were said to have reached a secret agreement whereby France was to sforce an issue with Fur, key, from the final outcome oi which both France and Russia ex pected to derive tremendous. ad- vantage, and that this new move was based on a belief in England $ unpreparedness for an effective protest, the likelihood of war which shall ultimately mean the dismemberment of Turkey vastly increases.
 This is a happening, however which no one cares to predict, re. membering how frequently the Sick Man of Europe has been ap parently at the last gasp only to be resuscitated by a new form oi treatment on the part of interested Powers. The existing situation is, nevertheless. interesting. That the crisis is now receiving tho worlds closest attention indicates the gravity of the moment in uni. versal estimation.-Republic.

Senator Jones and Gov. Clark are both strong men and have gone directly to the people to dis cuss the issues between them? Why should Gov. Davis interfere? Is Gov. Clarke unable to sustain his end of the contest? Or are the people incapable of making an in telligent choice between them without Gov. Davis advice? The one proposition discredits Gov.

CENTRAL COMMITTEE.

DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
 As will be seen from a card in the county papers, the Drew County Central Committee has been called to meet at the Court House in this city on the 16th inst. The object of this meeting, among other things, is to ar range the time and manner of nominating candidates for the various offices. Whether the committee will call an early Pri- mary and have all the officers nominated on the 29th of March or not remains to be seen. So far as the State officers are con- cerned, 1t will be necessary to make the choice on that day, since the State Central Commit tee, has, in conformity to a reso- luton of the last State Conven- tion, fixed that day; but wheth- CT It would be the part of wis dom on the side of the commit tee to have the District and County nominations made this early Is somewhat problematic. One aim of the Central Commit tee should be to fix such means and the time for the District and the County nominations as would give the most general sat lStaction to the Democratic vot- CTS, the people for whose benefit the same is supposed to be held. Arguments might be made in ia vor of an early Primary, or a late Primary, and, likewise against either, but what should be considered is which would be the best for the Democratic party-which plan would likely have the tendency to give most satisfaction. So far as the State candidates are interested 1t makes little difference to them for they seldom see more than 5 per cent of the voters, any way, and the voters only know of them by reputation; and only one day would be required to meet and make a selection for such places. But when 1t comes to the District and County can didates a different rule prevails. The people want to see and hear from the men whom they are ex- pected to give their suffrage. Can they, or would they be like lv to, do this in a mid-winter campaign, which would inevita- bly, be necessary, if the County Primary is ordered for the 29th of March?
 If we have not misludged the sentiment of the people of Drew county, they are taking more than passing interest in who is to represent them in the next General Assembly, both in the Senate and Lower House. Mat ters of great importance to the people are to he discussed and settled upon, and no opportuni- ty for this purpose should be de nied them. No amount of trouble or inconvenience to the political machinery should be an excuse for not permitting the voters to hear and be heard. To precipi- tate a too carly and premature Primary on the country might have an evil tendency in more ways than one. It might be the means of excluding worthy men, (who do not get their living en- tirely by holding otfice) from en- tering the campaign, at all. It might force upon the people the

WOMEN PARD0NED.

Arkansas Democrat.
 Governor Jeff Davis yester- day afternoon pardoned the fol lowing white female convicts re- gently sent here from Ft. Smith: Lucille Blackburn, four years, as- sault to kill and robbery; Nellie Wing, Ethel Raymond and Will lie Collins, one year each, receiv- ing stolen property. In expla- nation of his action if par doning them the Gov. said:
 "I pardon these four women because their incarceration i'll the penitentiary was a nuisance. They were absolutely of no use to the state, as there was no work that they could do, and they had to be continually kept under lock and key. This shows the crying need of a reform school. Had we one, these women could have been placed there, where they would have been of some benefit to the state And while they are guilty of a fragrant crime 1 considered that the lesser of the two evils would be to turn them out upon the condition that they should in the future lead a virtuous life. ,"
 The reason given above for the pardon of these criminals will be amply sufficient to satis- fv those who are so wrapped up in the great and only Jeff that they think him incapable or com uniting a wrong; but to the fair minded and unbiased men and women of the country the act Is regarded as an unmitigat- ed outrage upon law. order, decency and common sense.
