Bryan 0ut Of Politics.

Lincoln, Neb., March 28--
William j. Bryan formally an
nounces in the Commoner today
that he will spend the rest of his
days at his country residence,
Fairview, excepting such time
as may be devoted to travelling"
This is taken as meaning that
Mr.. Bryan has definitely deter
mined to retire from politics.
In a leading article in the Com
moner today is firm expression
by Mr.. Bryan that he will resist
all efforts of reorganizers within
the democratic party. He says
he would not invite them to rejoin
the party as it would mean riot.
The adoption of their plans, he
says, would "Be suicide to De-
mocracy,"

THE DEFEAT OF JONES.

The defeat OF Senator James
K. Jones by the democracy of his
own state is nothing short of a
national republican victory. His
defeat was a grave mistake upon
the part of the people, which they
are sure to realize when all this
turmoil has subsidized and they
reflect soberly and reasonably.
Senator Jones is a great demo-
cratic statesman. He is-a popu-
lar democrat, so much so that he
had risen to the highest positions
in the party and in the body of
which he is a member. He has
brought honor and prominence to
his state. His careep6fas been
marked by fairhfulnes5 dNn fidel-
ity to his people. When the
democracy of Arkansas repudi-
ated him they cast aside the
national party leader and virtu.
ally denounced the wisdom of the
national democratic party. Ar
kansas democrats have played
squarely into the hands of their
political enemies. They have
furnished the opposition cudgel
which it will not be slow to use to
the best advantage. They have
struck the blow that will demora-
lie the democratic organization
in the United States. But it is
done.

ker carried lizard and Baxter, his
majority in Baxter being small.
Mr.. Meeks is one Of the best
fitted men in the circuit for the
place to which he has just been
elected. He is an able lawyer,
a clean, sober honorable gentle.
man, and the Sixteenth circuit is
assured of an excellent presiding
judge. The Record congratulates
Mr.. Meeks on his victory.

THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE.

The race for congress in this,
the Second district, resulted in
in the election of Hon. S. Brun.
didge Jr. of White county by a
good majority. Judge McCaleb
carried only four of the twelve
counties in the district, lizard,
Randolph, Lawrence and Sharp,
although he only lost Independ-
ence, Stone and Fulton by small
majorities. Brundidge carried
the remaining eight counties.
Judge McCaleb made a clean,
honorable fight to win, and his
many friends sincerely regret
that he lost out. However, he
was fighting against great odds.
Unfortunate circumstances and
conditions arose during the cam.
paign, too, which contributed
largely to his defeat. But Judge
McCaleb is the same true, con-
scientious man as he was before
he entered the congressional
fight, and his defeat detracts not
a whit from his personal worth,
nor does it in any degree lessen
his friendship and high regard
for the people who have honored
him so highly in the past.

THE Ell ECTION OF CLARKE.

THE Ell ECTION OF CLARKE.
The nomination of James P.
Clarke to succeed James K.
Jones in the United States senate
comes as a surprise no doubt to a
vast majority of the people OF
Arkansas, and we doubt not that
even many of the NEST ardent
Clarke supporters are surprised
at the result. If Senator Jones
must be retired from office, the
Record had rather see ex-Gov.
Clarke take his place than any
other man in Arkansas, with one
exception, ex-Gov. Fishback of
Fort Smith. Clarke is compare
lively young, full of push and
vim, and so far as ability is con-
cerned, no one has ever question
ed that point. He is the intel-
lectual peer of any man in the
state, and while he may never
reach the high positions in the
party councils and in the United
States senate that Senator Jones
has attained, there is no doubt
that he will throw all the energy
of his nature into his labors in
behalf of the people.
Gov. Clarke achieved q
wonderful victory. He has de-
feated the democratic leader.
He has defeated a statesman

GOV. JEFF DAVIS.

For the second time has jeff
erson Davis been endorsed by
the democratic party of Arkansas
for governor. His second victory
is almost as complete as the first.
Both have been phenomenal when
all circumstances are taken into
consideration. Jeff Davis is a
wonderful man and a strong man
with the people, as was proven by
his defeat of such gifted and pop
ular democratic statesmen as
Judge Edgar E. Bryant and Col.
john G.. Fletcher. The fact is
further proven by the defeat of
Col. Rector, a man whose public
career is above reproach, and
whose private life and acts are
not questioned. Gov. Jeff Davis
has firm hold upon the masses;
they look upon him as their friend,
and he can sway them as no 9TH
or man can. Without exaggera-
ton he is the most popular man
today with the masses OF the
people that was ever in public
life in the state.
1t is a mystery, too, how Gov.
Davis retains the confidence of
the people. But he does. He
can speak before an audience of
intelligent citizens and confess to
official acts that would politically
damn any other man in Arkansas,
yet he loses no friends. If so,
not many. He appeals to the
people in such a way that they
are ready to stand by him.
Charges against him, undeniable
facts, which, if made against any
other candidate, would forever
ruin his political aspirations, do
him no harm. He counteracts
their probable effect with some
new appeal to sympathies of the
people. He is no orator, but he
can rally the people around his
that would startle the
oldest campaigner in the diction-
airy of politicians. He is a poll
tician, and a shrewd one. His
power lies in the art of dema-
goey. That fact cannot be de-
MED.
The people are for Davis, and
have again turned the interests
of the state into his hands. They
have endorsed his record. This
paper cannot do that, but it hopes
that this fair land Of ours under
the second term of Gov. Davis
will blossom as the rose, that the
interests of Arkansas may be
materially advanced and that his
second term may see the atten-
ton of all parts of the country
turned towards the boundless and
undeveloped resources of the
good state of Arkansas.

FARMIAGTON EGGS COST
JUST $l.lO PER DOZEN
special to tho Evening Journal

Pennington, jan 14-If you had a
dozen eggs you could have got $1.10l
for them here Saturday night. The
rise in Mortimer Pacific stock, when
it reached $1,000, probably had no more
exciting features than did the egg
market here Saturday morning, after
ternoOn, and until midnight. The
boom in the egg market was brought
about in rather an easy way, but as
lsumed large proportions to the finan-
cial loss of the two merchants engaged
in it,
On Saturday morning one merchant
placed a sign i'm front of his store
showing that he gave thirty-two cents
for eggs Another merchant a little
farther up tho street, unconscious Of
the trouble THAT IL later caused, posted
a sign. stating thereon eggs 80 cents. %
/ Then began The war, which sent eggs
10 a higher price than ever before in
the history of the egg market in Farm
lingtOn. The two merchants advanced
leggs one cent at a time until fifty cents
was offered for eggs. The report Of
/ this spread TO the town folk and near
lby country and there began a hunt for
leggs, and they were brought to THE two
stores in such numbers that the mer-
chants wished that the price was con-
siderably lower. The war, though, had
only begun, and instead of one cent
advances, fifty-hve, then sixty, and
finally at O'Clock in the evening sew
lenty-fve cents a dozen was offered for
leggs. Here other merchants OF the
town saw golden opportunity to real
lize a handsome profit on eggs they lhad
IrocpnfIv Durcihaspd and sent them 10
1.-The warning merchants. At night the
war continued, and the egg market
lleaped ten cents a dozen at a time. Men
land boys. realizing the situation, went
Into the country houses nearby and
surprised the farmers and their wives
who had not heard of the egg market
rise, by Offering them fifty cents a
dozen. They gladly sold at This price

town and realized from thirty 10 forty
lcents' profit q dozen for their trouble
