The Democratic Convention.

No convention amounts to much
without there is slight friction to
make things interesting. Things
were interesting at the democratic
convention which met in this city Sat
urday.
No one who knows anything of po-
litics would have had the convention
other than it was and while doubtless
there were few who were disap-
pointed in not being as selected dele
gates to one of the conventions there
was much that was promotive of the
interests of the party in Saturday S
convention.
The contest for supremacy lay be-
tween the countr and the city delegat-
es. The result of the deliberations
city and country had full represtation
on the lists Of delegates.
The convention did not adjourn
until IA late hour in the evening and
the following delegates were selected
to attend the gvarious conventions.

should have lost. The fact that the
commissioners are under Indictment
for an offense does not necessarily
prove them guilty of crime. 1t is

HARMONY AND UNION.

1t is good campaign matter for the
republicans to repeat that there was
ill feeling and lack of harmony in
the county convention Saturday.
But in our Judgment the rivalry for
place on the state delegation was
simply an evidence that the democrats
are alive to the situation and that
there is enough interest already mani
tested in the coming convention to
insure II rousing democratic victory
this fall.
1t was reported by those who would
see democatic defeat with pleasure
that democracy was split wide open,
the breach being so deep and wide
that it never could be healed. This is
far from the truth and the fact that
it is repeated continuously by the
opposition, gives it the lie and shows
that the wish is father to the
thought.
1t is not to be denied that in past
years there has been dissatisfaction
in the party ranks, but there is no
man residing in this county who
claims to be II democrat who will not
proclaim that he wants harmony in
the party ranks.
Throughout the state the same con
test for place on the delegations to
we can see nothing but an augury for
success in this ambition to go to the
state convention.
AS far as The Sentinel is concern
ed it shall accept the will of its
party 1t shall work for the best
interests of that party, so long as
the party maintains the doctrine of
the democracy. The party which
has been the friend of the people is
beyond any question of doubt the dem
ocratic party. There is no hope held
out for the people of all classes, save
the plutocrats, from the republican
party. No legislation has been
passed in this state for the people by
the republican party, and never will
be. The only hope that the people
have is in the democratic party.
Don't permit anyone, whose inter
ests are with the republican party to
make you believe that there is disunion
and lack of harmony i'll the democratic
ranks. In the campaign this fall ev-
cry democrats will be found working
shoulder to shoulder for party success.

That Patient Wife.

There is no patience like the sub
lime patience of the loving little
wife, who goes about doing those
daily household duties that are her
lot. Day after day she is up early
i'll the morning, prepares her hus-
bands breakfast, gets the children off
to school or up for the day and then
goes through the days almost endless
chain of duties. How patient she is,
and usually how tender and loving.
Then how can man be brute
enough to fail to appreciate her
Yet some are so, even to the point of
harshness and brutality, Man, if
you love your wife, tell her so: let
her know before it is too late that her
toll is appreciated. Make her life
as easy for her as you can. Treat her
with the same loving kindness as you
did before the marriage vow, when
you sat together whispering sweet
nothings that found their way to the
heart of that little girl, you then
though the lovliest creature God ever
created. 1t is you who have been so
busy with the affrairs of the world
that you have forgotten to be gentle
and kind and loving as of yore

Coroner's inquests.

A great deal of criticism, both adj
verse and favorable. of the coroner
Jury system is heard these days.
Am .ls those in Pine Bluff who con-
tend that it is a farce and an unneces-
sarv expense is Prosecuting Attorney
W. B. Sorrels. When questioned as
TO his opinion of the coroner's jury
system by Graphic reporter. Z
said.
The office Of county coA>lof is nll-
necessary, and, in my opinion, should
Ec abolished. The corQner's Jury Is
supposed to investigate the cause of a
mans death. not who Killed him =
the circumstances of the killing. 1t
is not an uncommon thing for jury
to make a regular grand jury lnvestl
cation of death and eNonorate Oh
place the guilt therefor. Suppose a
man was killed and every 'le knew
who killed him. but the coroner's
iufv for some reason eXonOrated him
DO YOU think that would end the case:
'Another thing" he continued
"could not the same work done by
the coroner and his jury be done II
MAGISTRATES courts? 1t seems to me
that it could and heavy expense
could be saved the clMnty thereby.
