The London press echos the
public disgust in thst city, because
the british army at the Transvaal
once more has been disappointed in
its efforts to capture Generals De
Wett and Botha.
The ability Of the General in
Chief Lord Kitchener is very much
questioned by the people, for al
though he has under his command
powerful and we'll equipped army.
he has been Knocked by men that
heretofore had not the least know
ledge Of the science Of war. The
prestige of said chief is fading
away.
Mr.. John billions a member of
the House Of commons in London,
introduced resolution objecting
to the practice of the british troops
at the Transvaal, of burning the
farms of owners in South Africa of
boer extraction. The resolution was
defeated by a great majority.
Journals of this date report u
battle between the english troops
and the Somalis in East Africa.
British were completely routed
by the Africans, retreating in great
haste losing seventeen dead and
many wounded. This new disaster
to the british arms sustains the
excitement throughout the nation

Mr.. Choate American ambas-
sador in London has had a very long
conference with Lord Lansdowne
respecting negotiations for the ope-
ming of the Nicaragua Canal. Moth
ing has transpired to the public

they are considered as favorable to
the realization of the colossal sheme.
From Rio Janeiro, Brazil, we
learn that the mob became so in
dignant against Portugal on ac-
count of the recent incident at
Oporto with the daughter of the
Consul, that theaPortuguese Consul
late was, stormed and the police
force had to interfere to protect the
lifes of persons.
Dispatches from Manila give in
formation that a Filipino camp To-
Gated near the Capital has been des-
troyed by American troops.
Late General Cervera, heroe of
Santiago of Cuba has been appoin-
ted vice admiral of the Spanish navy.
This appointment was contemplated
before his demise, and. it implies a

"Governor Davis Pledges"


The Sharp county Record" says:
The plea to the people that he cannot
redeem his pledges if Senator Jones is
reelected makes Gov. Davis appear in
very ridiculous attitude.
Gov. Davis was elected to the high
position which he now occupies IN al
most unanimous voice. He was sup
ported by many of the best citizens of
the state, who had confidence in his
sincerely and who believed he would
carry out, or at least attempt to carry
out, the promises he had made them.
Has he done it2
His cry against the trusts and COM
bines, and his pledge that he would
drive them from Arkansas, fell upon
ears in sympathy with this cry, and the
thousands of his admirers expected
Jefferson Davis to remain true to his
word. Has he done this?
';The Record gives it as an individ-
ual opinion that Mr.. Davis has not made
an honest effort to oust the trusts, or
single trust, since he became prominent
in Arkansas politics.
1t is true he says while attorney
general he was prevented from smash
ing the trusts by the supreme court,
but those who will study the facts know
this to be untrue. When the drastic
antitrust law was enacted Mr.. Davis
placed a construction upon it which the
supreme court held to be unreasonable
and not in keeping with the spirit of
the law. The supreme court simply
told Mr.. Davis that he had instituted
his suits in wrong manner, that the
law would drive out the trusts, but
that he must proceed differently. The
court did not declare the law invalid,
but would have upheld it had he pre-.
sented his cases properly When shown
his error Mr., Davis threw up the sponge
and declared he would not molest a
trust If it should organize in front of
the state house door with brass band
at its head. He dropped the suits at a
time when the trusts could afford to
contribute largely to have them dropped
and then hoodwinked the people on the
grand stand play he had made before
the supreme court. This is the truth of
Attorney-General Davis effort to rid
this state of trusts. If some one has in
formation of an effort by Gov. Davis to
keep his pledges as to trusts, let him
speak up.
Now this honored hero appears be.
fore the people and declares he cannot
redeem his pledge made to them II Sem
ator Jones is reelected. Such blatant
demagogism was never before faunted
In the face Of an honest and sane public.

The PRESS before the people of Craw.
ford county for the Office of circuit
clerk, subject to the action Of the DEM
ocatic primary. Mr.. Moore Is one Of
the younger members Of the Democracy
Of Crawford county and brings with
him that push and energy that knows
no such word as impossible. =" He is
u Democrat to the core and has taken u
leading part In all the party battles Of
recent years. Should he be the choice
OF the party for circuit clerk he would
do his full share toward electing the
entire ticket and we feel confident
would FIJI the Office to the entire salts

has been for years one of the wheel
horses of the Democracy of Crawford
county, ever ready at the beck of the
party to enter the fray where it was
thickest and knowing no such word as
defeat. He brings into the race not
alone personal popularity but also proof
of capacity to fill the Office satisfac-
torily. Should he secure the nomina-
tion his election would be assured and
the Office be placed in capable hands.
When you go to the polls on primary
election day consider Mr.. Bosiick S
claims impartially and you will find
him ready to cheerfully abide by the
verdict of the majority.

His duties as constable have thoroughly
qualified him for the position to which
he now aspires and all he asks is a fair

Judge Jeptha n. Evans.

In presenting this week to the Demo-
cracy of Crawford the name of Judge
Jeptha II. Evans for denomination to
the Office he has for number of years
past filled with such signal ability and
fairness we feel that our pleasure in be-
ing able to do so will be shared by all
good citizens of the county. Judge
Evans, had he so desired could have
become formidable candidate for the
supreme judegship, but he preferred to
cast his lot with the people who through
years of intimate association had be-
come his friends and serve them for at
least another term. No commendation
at our hands is necessary. Judge Evans
has made record as presiding Judge of
this circuit second to none in the state.
His rulings have always been fair and
impartial based on true Interpretation
of the law, to which he has added ca
pacity for pushing business that has
been of great benefit to the counties
composing this district in the saving of
expenses. He, Of course, announces
himself subject to the action of the
Democratic party.
