1t has ben frequently asked. What's In

Murphy. He has always been taken for an
Irishman, and while playing in Beaumont,
Tex. recently, he was stopped on the street
by an old gentleman. who said: Mr.. Muir
ply. I'm afraid you won't have q large
house tonight. You see. Blanche Walsh
was here last night. and this town will
scarcely support two Irish shows I'm one

Of no use. Walsh and Murphy are Irish
names and 1t would have made no differ

Hungarian Concert Band.

The Hungarian court band from Budapest
was the attraction last night of the star
course season OF the Young Mems Chris
tian Association and the First Congrega-
tional Church. in which the concert was
held, was filled to the doors. The band Is
but a small organization. the artistic merits
OF which, however, are unquestionable.
The orchestra is under the direction of Ben
jamin Amsterdam who formerly conducted
a Hungarian band OF sixty pieces in New
York Mr. Amsterdam was heard last night
in several we'll rendered violin solos.

Gov. Davis Made q Speech.

Rogers, July 4.-The Fourth
was celebrated at Monte Ne,
Governor Jeff Davis making the
speech of the day. The audience
numbered four thousand people,
seated in a natural amphitheater
lat the foot of a mountain beneath
a canopy Of green trees, with the
platform over running stream
of cold water direct from large
springs flowing seven thousand
gallons of water per minute.
The seats sloped upward like in
a theater, each side flanked with
the tree boxes, made of rustic
logs. 1t was a vast assembly,
composed mostly Of country peo-
pie with a sprinkle OF visitors
here for pleasure and health from
other states and from the cities.
Governor Davis sail, among
other things:
"This government and our civ
ilizaticn are in danger from two
forces, the avarice and greed Of
the selfish rich and the brute force
of the ignorantly poorer class"
He followed this up to show
how laws were enacted that fed
the avarice ofthe first class and
created the second class. He ap-
pealed to the people TO rid Arkan-
sas Of politicians who are in har-
mony with the seIfishly rich.
The governor became personal
only once, when he accused Sem
ator Jones Of voting for the
Panama canal as against the
Nicaragua route, in violation Of
the democratic national platform,
and because of alleged selfish and
unworthy motives, The speech
was well received and the gov
ernor made a good impression.

On the fusion ticket in Nebras'
ka five places are given to popu-
lists and three to the democrats.
At best the ticket is but three
fifths democratic, The squirrel
headed mogul of this squirrel
tailed journal would not support
such a mess. If the democratic
party, anywhere and everywhere,
cannot stand boldly by its time
honored principles, unsullied and
unhampered, and win, without
making concessions and fawning
at the feet of populism, it is to
our mind unworthy Of victory.
If democratic principles are right
at all, they are eternally right
The democracy Of Nebraska is
simply laying down its principles
for a hcpe Of victory, which if
attained would be nothing short
of a defeat.

Asks Roosevelt To Not Appoint Jones.

Gov. jeff Davis has forwarded
the following letter to President
Roosevelt:
81 notice in the metropolitan
press of a few days ago a state
ment that in all probability Sena-
tor James K. Jones would be by
your excellency appointed a
member Of the canal commission,
should the Panama route pass
and become effective. OF course,
l know that you have not over
looked the constitutional provis
ion which prohibits his holding
any office till the 4th of next
March, save that Of senator, and
| desire, Mr.. President, to say, IN
behalf of the people Of Arkansas,
with all due Difference and res
pect to yourself and your power
of appointment, that if you con-
template appointing Mr.. Jones as
a democrat from Arkansas, as an
honor to our state, we would like
to have an opportunity to protest
against the proffered honor. He
has been repudiated here by the
democracy, and by his recent
utterances and actions has put
himself beyond the party line;
but if you desire to appoint him
as u republican, pure and simple,
of course, we can raise no objec-
ton, though, if you appoint him
as a democrat, we would like to
be heard. Perhaps | should not
have addressed you thus plainly,
and ] should not have done so
but for your kind consideration
of me on my recent visit, and the
expressed desire on your part to
have me communicate with you
freely about any matter in Arkan-
sas. feel that this is of great
Importance to the democracy Of
this state; that if recognition is
given Senator Jones it will not be
given to him as democrat with
out the protest Of the democracy
of this state. Yours very res
pectfully, Jeff Davis,
Governor of Arkansas" d"

Gov. Davis informs Pre- sident
Roosevelt that if he appoints
Senator James K. Jones one Of
the Panama canal commissioners
as a democrat, he will do so over
the protest Of the de mocracy Of
Arkansas. The question natur-
ally arises, what constitutes the
democratic party of Arkansas,
the thousands Of men who have
kept the party faith since they
became of age, or Gov. Jeff Da-
Wis? And does Gov. Davis have
the authority to speak for the
democracy Of Arkansas?

Judge Felix G. Taylor Of Jones'
boro, recently defeated for con.
gress in the First district, says to
his local paper: "You may say
that am now out Of politics.
When man gets enough votes
to nominate him and can't get
them counted, | think it time to
quit" In the convention at three
times Judge Taylor had
the required number of votes to
nominate, but the chairman would
not declare the result until
changes had been made.

A Question OF Brains.

A Clergyman was travelling in
a mining country and encount-
cred an old Irlshman turning a
windlass which hauled up ore out
of a shaft. 1t was his work to do
this all day long, His hat was
off, and the sun poured down on
his unprotected head.
"Don't you know the sun will
injure your brain if you expose it
in that manner?" said the good
man.
The Irishman wiped the sweat
off his forehead and looked at the
clergyman.
"Do ye think I'd be doing this
all day if [ had any brains?" he
said, and he gave the handle an
other turn.-Tit- Bits.

The United States senate is
rapidly filing up with young
roosters Of great physical at
tainmcnts, and as that body has
almost entirely turned its atten-
ton from law making to pugil-
ism, it might be well for Senator
Berry to retire. Senator Berry
is a statesman, but no pug, there
fore it would seem that he has
outlived his usefulness.

Let Us Live Oh Pension.

Representative Kern of Illinois
has introduced a bill providing
that all blind persons in the Unit
ed States be placed on the pension
roll.
We are astonished at the mar
rowness Of Representative Kern.
Why limit the pension rolls to the
blind? Why not give pension to
this hat, and deaf and dumb, the
Sharp County record., 1902-07-11

An exchange says Gov. DAVIS
will prove that Senator Berry
lost his leg in a cotton gin, and
another paper goes one better
and says the governor will prove
that the senator lost his limb in a
roundlap gin at that. The fes-
tive squirrel heads will have fun,
and no one should object, for
that's about all they get out of a
newspaper life.

The matter in this paper rep
resents the views and ideas Of the
editor as an individual. AS long
as we remain in the newspaper
business we expect to speak OF
public men, measures and cur
rent events in a manner directed
by our own sense of truth and
iustice. and if the time arrives in
the history of country journalism
when an editor is barred. from
expressing an honest conviction
and must pander to the popular
wave in order to be in great pub
lie favor, then, we frankly say
now, our transient pen will never
trace another line to 60 before
the case. We had rather be a
lousy hound, the property OF a
beggarly tramp, free to roam
Gods green woods with him and
share the crumbs of his measley
hand-out. than to be a man in
shape and nonentity in thought
and action. We had rather be
voked and let run with the brute
creation than to wear an unseen
yoke among our friends.

Are the unemployed not suffer-

Wouldn't it be good idea to
relieve the cities and counties of
the burden Of supporting the sick
and poor by pensioning them?

histories from use in the schools
