IN order to secure the indorse- ment of a bare majority of the Republican Central Committee of Carroll county four years ago, Stahl promised two members of the Committee clerkships in the Marshal's office and one a place as guard at the jail, while fourth man was promised the ''best thing" he had if he would secure the names of a few com mitteemen not present at the meeting, so as to be able to call it a majority. The man promised the guards place was "taken care of'' about a year. The other poor devils got no consideration whatever. These are facts that can be proven to the satisfaction of any court on earth. In fact, no one will have the hardihood to deny them. Carroll county's representation on the Marshal's force at Fort Smith consists of one man drawing the pay of a guard. He is the son of J. w. Freeman, chairman of the Com mittee.
The Green Forest tribune., 1901-01-19

ONE of the amusing features of the republican pie battle which is on in Arkansas as elsewhere just now is the plucky fight be- ing made by North Arkansas re- publicans against U. s. Marshal Stahl of Fort Smith court. Judging from the public utter ances of many of our local poi- ticians, THE GREEN FOREST TRIB- uNE voices the sentiment of the party hereabouts when it says, No man who ever dabbled with political affairs in the state has more thoroughly discredited himself and prostituted his party than the present United States Marshal of the Western district. :" Of course the democrats will cheerfully yield the distinction claimed for a republican in this paragraph; and hope, for the goodsof the service. that purer and better man may be found to substitute for the gentleman so distinguished.

IN Prof. Branner's report on the Zinc Fields of North Arkan- sas he incidentally makes a few timely allusions to the public highways as follows:
 The slow development of this part of the state has been due to geographic obstacles more perhaps than to any oth- er thing. That the common roads are SO bad is more remarkable because there is probably no region in America, or in the world, where there is ready at hand such an abundance of the very best road making material. Such roads as we now have in this region would shut down 75 per cent of the zine mines now in operation in the United States. How can it be reasonably expected then that mines will be opened and kept in operation in the face of such an ob- stacle?
The Green Forest tribune., 1901-01-19

THE ex -Confederates of New Orleans have entered strong. protest against president Me Kinley being invited to attend the Reunion to be held in Mem phis in May. Upon their action the Arkansas Democrat of Lit tie Rock commented as follows: 'The Democrat believes the south would extend a very warm greeting to President Mckinley, and it finds it difficult to imagine upon what grounds of common sense or patriotism those New Orleans ex-Confederates can base their objections to the invit- ing of the president to be pres ent at the Memphis reunion next May. Such action can only serve to bring them into ridicule, and it is comforting to know that they represent and speak for no others. The action of the Bos- ton Grand Army Post in making Gen. Jos. Wheeler an honorary member, and the pinning of Confederate veterans badge on President McKinley's coat while in Atlanta ought to have im- pressed the New Orleans vet erans. The Memphis veterans have done the right thing in ig- noring the popgun fired at New Orleans.'

WHEN Hon. Ben M. Foreman entered the contest for the mar shalship of the western district he announced that in the event of his failure he would not be an applicant for reappointment as postmaster. That was the cor rect thing to do. Judging from the way the counties are ex- pressing their preference for him he will get the plum. As po- litical hustler Ben allows no grass-not a single blade-to grow under his feet.-Arkansas Democrat.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All the Lead
ing Stocks.

New York, Jan. 7.-Today's stock mar
Kite had all the characteristics of what
Is usually called a traders market. But
everything was on gigantic scale
Where 1co-share lots would be normal
unit in an ordinary market, in today's
market l0tl-, 2'90- and even 5e0-share lots
were banded about like playthings for a
quick turn in the market. The movement
of prices was on a correspondingly gigan-
tic scale. The speculative character of
the market was clearly indicated in the
variation of prices. Not only was moth
ing stable for any considerable period
but no movement was consistent beyond
short length of time. Losses were re-
covered, gains were lost and there We're
strong rallies from reactions. All this
made the utmost excitement and confu-
sion in the market all day long.
In the early period of the market there
were not lacking signs of strength and
there was quite a long list of gains of
between one and two points, but prices
jumped about in the most violent and err
ratio manner by wide intervals. Gradu-
ally the fact began to emerge that there
were brokers on the floor who had appar-
entity unlimited orders TO take all offer
ings at a certain level of prices below
the market. The course of prices there
upon gradually Steadied and then moved
upwards with an impressive surge Dur
ing the rest of the day il was simply a
question where the new points of strength
would develop.
None of the advances We're well held
and the process of profit taking cost them
all the way from two to nearly five points
But even at that reaction many hand
some gains We're conserved for the day.
Sugar was very crratiC. working upwards

late selling movement. Tennessee Coal
showed acute weakness on the decision to
pass the dividend and fell 67s. closing only
n fraction over that. The Rubber stocks
were inclined to weakness but had a good
rally. The list of stocks which did not
fluctuate as much as n point or over were
very few. 1t was evident that the incit-
ing cause of the furious speculation was
the recent developments in the railroad
world looking toward vast consolida ton
Money also is working easier in spite of
the enormous demands of the Specula-
ton. The rather gloomy condition of for

pressing effect seems to stimulate Specu-
