ted the request, but said to him: II would so much rather you would send your boss; he knows so much more than you do."
 Senator Jones regretted that the unfounde0 charges of his opponent had occupied so much time. and that he had been given no opportunity for discussing the actual issues of the campaign and the merits and demerlts of the principles he and Governor Clarke advocated. He launched into a most learned and able discussion of the tariff and the money questions and showed those talents and that clear sighted, shrewd understanding of the situation which have won for him q name that will ever bs recalled with respect by the men who have associat- ed with him in the congress.
 He attributed the islanders his ene- mics had employed against him to Poker Jackn Mcclure, and closed by placing his fate in the hands of the people, saying that he was sure they would not be deceived by the islanders and falsifoation of such man.

"Telegrams were sent out from a local newspaper office here last night to the effect that "Senator Jones skinned Governor Davis alive" in the debate. The report is not anywhere near the truth. The sentiments of the people, to an unpreiudiced mind, seemed fair ly divided. ."-Extract from a special from Forrest City cores. pondent to Helena World anen | the Davis-Jones debate. Al. of which so far as the local newspa. per is concerned, is a pure and simple falsehood. The editors and owners of the local newspaper did not send telegram of any charac- ter. Nevertheless it is q fact that Senator Jones did make Jeff look like 30 cents in counterfeit money, and you know 1t.

Gov. Davis declared that it was not true that he had designs upon Senator Berry's seat in the U. s. Senate. In tho next breath he said if he did run against Berry ne would run hard. Does any person believe be can be sincere in both declarations. There is not a doubt that he aspires to the senate, and if Gov. Clarke should be elected he must be ungratefui indeed if he does not help Davis to Berry's place.

The Leo County Courier made a sad mistake in its last issue when it stated that Davis captured the audience in his speech at this place on last Friday, the l4th. He did not mako any change in the situation whatever, and we are of the opinion that St. Francis coun- ,y will line up for Jones and Rec tor on tho 18th; at least we hope it will.

Plum Pudding.


1t is estimated that during the
past two or three weeks the steam
ships leaving England have carried
upwards of five hundred tons Qf.
plum pudding, or roughly speaking
about no 900 puddings. To an
Engiishman Christmas dinner
without plum pudding would be
like a production of Hamlet without
the melancholy Dane, and the Bri-
tain's weakness in this particular is
one that always sticks to him even
though he migrates to the
end of the earth. As the holiday
season approaches each year tons
of festive pudding find their way
from London all over the world. A
large proportion are sent as Christ
mas presents to friends in the Unit
ed States. Many hundreds of them
go to Canada, Australia and SoItn
/ Africa. The puddings are packed
in tins and sent by parcels post as a
rule. An interview with the man
ager of the best known firm of plum
pudding makers develops the fact
that many more plum puddings are
being sent to the United States this
year than heretofore owing to the
abolition of the duty of nearly 6o
per cent, which formerly prevailed
The orders come from all parts OF
America, several having come from
as far west as San Francisco and
Seattle.

Nor the least of the advantages
that Christmas brings to the world
is its kindly incentive to RETROSPECT
ton. The further one advances
along the path that leads to eterni-
ty the oftener does he give a back
ward glance over the way he has
trod. Thoughts of other days and
memories OF departed faces are not
fainter because of the dimming WIS.,
ion, and Christmas seems always
time to recall these reflections OF
childhood and youth and early life,
and to bring again into the light OF
the present those well remembered
pictures of friends who have van.
ished forever. What matter if the
heart be hardened by conflict with
the world! 1t is rarely that the
sights and sounds of Christpastide
do not have a softening influence
upon it, and if it be for only a few
days its owner is all the better for
the emotlon-an emotion that usu-
ally has a hearty welcome, and at
whose going there is a feeling of
regret, Tor no other holiday can
take the place of Christmas.

The Latest Developments.

A communication setting forth the
reply of Great Britain to the latest
communication of the United States
on arbitration Of the Venezuelan
dispute was transmitted from Lon.
don last night and it is expected to
be delivered in Washington to-day.
1t is said TO contain no final decl-
sion, but to be merely an express
sion Of the British Governments
views on the subject.
Strong pressure is being brought
to bear on President Roosevelt by
public men to decline the PROPOSE
ton to act as arbitrator, for the rea-
son, principally, that they fear the
United States will be put in the po-
sition of enforcing the payment OF
debts of South American states in
future The Cabinet is divided on
the question. Some members are
against submitting the dispute to
The Hague tribunal because it is
slow to get in motion and because
the Monroe doctrine would thus be
indirectly brought before d court
composed largely of Europeans
President Cleveland, who rts
turned to Princeton from a South
ern trip, said he thought the prop
er authorities would bring about an
adjustment OF the Venezuelan
troubles at an early date.
Five more coasting vessels were
captured by the allied feet, which
is blockading Venezuela.
