ltsaw ere 1 had read but q few lines that there was something ailing Justice, and after a diagnosis of his case, saw that he was lame. blinded and suffering from great irritation. Now 1 have a remedy which, if Justice will use, he no doubt will speedily recover from the ailments mentioned. Let him remove from so close to his eyes his own interest and feelings them selves; and have a blister com posed of caustic remarks, which l shall apply to the main part or body of Justice We find him be- littling, if not actually insulting the poor, hard working men of the county. Why? for want of that which sweetens life and makes neighbors blessing to each other Charity, Charity vaunteth not it. self, is not puffed up. The un- scrupulous and insulting insinua- tions that are so thoroughly WOW en in the fabric of the article of Jus- tice are unwarranted and admits of no mitigation; also the insinua-
 
 tions that his opponents have a de- sire to get that which belongs to his neighbor without recompense, will meet with the disapprovat of fair minded men, whether stock law or antistock law persuasion. We well know that there is among those who oppose this law men who would readily act the part of the good Samaritan, as is also among those who favor it, some who would do as the Priest and the Levite, pass the unfortunate by on either side.
 Justice next gives us a diversion in the form of a trained swine show. Scene. no. I. Hogs on tiptoe in quest of corn fields, who ever saw the like? Not I, purely imaginery of course. In scene no. ?, if Justice cares to present it, he will have them (the piggies) trav- cling as bipeds, donning red soda caps, with d package of Arm X Hammer soda in their mouthes to help them digest the unwholesome corn grown in this asked for, fenc- ing district, last season. Next, we notice his reference to the Golden Rule, he says it demands just as strong that we have fencing dis trict, where asked for, as that they do not have where not wanted. The Golden Rule makes no such de. mands; those living near the line on free range side cannot let their stock run at large as there Is nc fence to keep them out of fencing ! district, and are liable for damages under four wire fence. While if same kind of stock from fencing districts destroy their crops under the same kind of fence have no recourse to the law what. ever.
 This dwarfed and reformed stock law was planned and put through house without consulting the Golden Rule and then to say that it makes demands through this curved spine arrangement is more than 1 can see. The Golden Rule, if applied, is panacea foi the evils that arise from the deal. ing of men with one another, and is no doubt heaven born.
 This stock law is source of dis. sention and strife and is said to be the product of the last Arkansas legislature.
 Justice, as a puller, he has har. messed himself to this stock law to pull it through. A heavy load in the plainest road; but he has got ten out of that, stirring up antago- nism for no other reason except to show how he can pull, he has nearly slipped the bridle, con- science twisted the names, reas- on; strained the traces, friend. ship; no idea of letting up, bound to have it and trying to accomplish by main strength and awkward ness, that which might have been accomplished by tact, atfability and kindness.
 Next, we'll attend to his lame ness, that twisted evidence of his fairness; he says he is assisting in building fence on the east fenc- ing district as evidence of his fair ness. Now, the inference is plain
