The Democrats of Arkansas should bear in mind that they have a duty to perform and that IS to perpetuate the principles of Democracy, and to continue their party in power. The true Democrat will give no heed to the mutterings of an imbecile, though he may be clothed for the time being in the garments of position and control. The Democratic party is bigger than any man in it, and while it so happens, once in awhile, that the party machinery drops into the power of tyroes and bombastic idiots, and their foolish declara- tions are amply sufficient to dis gust a wooden Indian, 1t IS no excuse for abandonment of the party. The utterances of such shallow-pated accidents do not detract one iota from the glory of the grand old Demo- cratic party. W hich alone holds out the hope of relief for the peo- pie of the country. Perhaps 1t was a sad mistake for the Ar kansas Democracy to nominate Davis for Governor. but If mis- take it was, the place to correct it is in the party and not out of 1t. To vote against Davis would not do him the least hurt while 1t would seriously injure the party. Every Democratic vote in the State should be counted for Democracy, and this can only be done by sup porting the ticket. Davis may. and doubtless will, do some fool ish things, but, for the sake of q united Democracy, we can bear them yet a little while longer, and the time will soon come for a change for the better, and with our party, intact, we will be in better shape for the achievement of those objects so much desired and so badly need ed by the people of the State. Division of our forces Is an in Vi. tation for the enemy to step i'll, and surely no Democrat is will ing for the Republican party to again control the deStinies ofthe people of this State. While we think that an error was com mitted in the selection of Davis as the standard bearer of our l party, we are confident that even a greater blunder was made when John II. Page was chosen by the Davis delegates to the State Convention as Secretary of the Democratic State Central Committee Already his un- guarded utterances and undi- gested (for charity sake we will claim) remarks have caused a foment in Democratic circles that the wisdom of our ablest and most conservative leaders will have to be called into requi- sition 10 allay.

Useless Standard Dollars.

The silver issue is dead and gone,
and there can be no reasonable opposi-
ton to the coming of the fifty-five mil
lion standard silver dollars, now lying
useless in the treasury, into subsidiary
coins, as they may be needed, The
government has no silver bullion on
hand. and the demand for small coins
is about ten million dollars year.
The question has become urgent,
both on account of the need for the
lesser silver coins and the exhaustion
of the silver bullion supply. The sill
yer miners will no doubt favor further
purchases of bullion, but there Is no
reason in the world why the standard
silver dollars should not first be re-
coined.
The silver issue was once very live
issue. 1t is as dead as Hector today.
Even William Jennings Bryan will adj
NIT as much, although he may init
mate that the time is coming when it
will come to life again, but he is mis-
taken in that respect, at least SO far
as his generation is concerned, for
the Rand can be trusted to deluge the
world with gold during the next fifty
years. 1t is not a placer. The gold is
In the bedrock, and the industry is as
permanent and as measurable as that
of iron. The Rand alone forbids q
speedy revival of the silver issue, and
the standard silver dollars should be
turned into coins fitted to the uses OF
the people.

From Suggestion.
Thousands of people actually think
themselves to death every year by allow
ing their minds to dwell on morbid sub
jects.
The idea that one has some incipient
disease in ones system, the thought OF
financial ruin, that one is getting on in
life without improving prospects-any Of
these or thousand similar thoughts may
carry a healthy man to premature
grave. melancholy thought that fixes
itself upon ones mind needs as much doc
torlng as physical disease. 1t needs to be
eradicated from the mind or 1t will have
Just the same result as a neglected dis
ease would have.
Every melancholy thought, every NOR
bid notion and every nagging worry
should be protected by cheerful thoughts,
of which there is bountlful store In
every ones possession. Bright companions
are cheaper than drugs and plasters.
The morbid condition of mind produces
a morbid condition of body, and II the
disease does happen to be in the system
II receives every encouragement to de-
velop. We need more mental therapy

PENNSYLVANIA Frauds.

Mr.. Bryan makes good suggestion
in connection with Crumpackerism. He
SAYS that any committee appointed to
investigate voting conditions in the
south should also be instructed to look
closely into the vote cast in Philadel-
phia. With a population scarcely more
than one-third that of New York city,
Philadelphia is made to cast by the
republican bosses nearly 100000 votes
more. Pennsylvania, too. requires reg
istration and INDUCES in a tax-paying
qualification. And yet the vote OF the
state. particularly of Philadelphia, is
VIGOROUSLY corrupt and excessive.
A short vote in the south, from
which fraudulent practices have been
eliminated, does not need investigation
at the hands of congress. The nature
of southern voting is understood. The
illiterate voter has been weeded out,
and that is all there is of it. But the
over-voting in Philadelphia and other
Pennsylvania cities does call for In
yestigation. The republican leaders
refuse to pass an honest election law
one that will interfere with the vot-
ing of dead men and all that. They
refuse to pass a law that renders per-
sonal registration imperative. At pres
ent a ward or township boss registers
long list of names regardless of resi-
dence or anything else, and If need be
he has men on hand to impersonate
those names on election day.
ia Crumpacker bill bobs up either
this or next winter, the southern menu
bers should see that the Pennsylvania
voting situation is Investigated. This
can be done by the minority represent
alton il the minority take good care
that their representation on commit
tee of investigation consists of men
who can conduct a searching investl-
cation. and have the courage to do It..
Let the investigation proceed provided
the methods of Pennsylvania bosses be
fully revealed.

THE PRESIDENTS COLLAR.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
I'm spite Of the efforts of the jobbers
to force the high collar on the market,
the demand is still for the low, comfort-
able grades which were popular during
the summer" said A. Stern of Chicago
Some of the manufacturers andg
wholesalers who are not familiar witR
the type of collar worn by President
Roosevelt have been at loss to ac-
count for the persistent demand for the
low collar, but the fact of the matter
really is that the President has been
setting the fashion for the country in
the collar lire The style was first taken
up by young men. and now in the cities
all over the country you see good dressers
wearing what used to be ridiculed as
middle-aged' collars.
This vogue Of the low, wide-front
collar has brought the wide four-in-hand
necktie back into favor, and If you
don't believe that the Presidents manner
OF dressing has been influential in determ-
ming neckwear styles. just look at any
of his pictures taken during the last
few years and then go out on the street
and see how many men you will meet
who will exhibit almost identically the
same necktie-and-colar combination.
Many of the dealers have taken In ths
situation and are offering Roosevelt
collars and neckties"

With the spleen of all the under fiends.
-Cymbeline.
Prosperous Birmingham.

The merchants of this city agree to
man that trade is exceptionally large
and active during the holiday season,
and that the outlook is promising.
Among the opinions expressed in yes
terday's Age Herald some are signifi-
cant. One company. engaged in sell
ing an article of luxury, says the holt
day trade is not only larger, but con-
ditions are thirty-fve per, cent better
this year than they were last year at
the corresponding period. Another
merchant who sells a breakfast table
necessity says the sales of the better
guides of teas and coffees have been
remarkably large this year. This dis
trict is buying, despite the strike, the
best grcde of coffee that dealers can
secure. A seed house, doing business
in every gulf state, says it has a larger
number of orders booked than ever
before at the corresponding period of
the year. Taking the situation from
our point of business" the seedman
goes on to say, at would seem that
the year 1906 is to be the banner year
for profitable business"
1t may be set down as a general fact
that our dealers were never better sat
isfied ellher with what they have done
or with what they expect to do in the
immediate future. The town and the
entire district are full of prosperity,
and the best thing about that prosper
ity is it's solid pig iron foundation. 1t
has come to stay, and it will soon crys-
tallize in a host of new buildings and
enterprises of all sorts.

Rains and Coal.

A wet Christmas has unlocked the
Kanawha and the upper Ohio, and the
barges and coal boats that have been
awaiting a rise in the rivers are going
down the river, loaded with coal for
western and southern consumption.
About 600 barges have left Pittsburg
and the north of the Kanawha, or will
soon leave those localities headed
southwark The Pittsburg pool will be
emptied of all loaded coal craft. The
big coal tows will soon pass the dan
ger point, and their owners will pro-
coed to collect in western and south
ern money.
1t is a singular fact that many per-
sons believe it is wholly practicable to
barge coal at profit from Pittsburg,
two thousand miles away. even If they
have to wait five months for rise,
while the same persons do not think
coal can be barged from fields only
three hundred miles away, on the War
rior. Why such inconsistent beliefs
are held no one can say. There is no
ice In the Warrior, and soon there will
be no shoals the year round, and yet it
is held that coal can be more profit
ably barged from point five times
further away although all sorts of diff
culties present themselves. This is
one of the things no one can fathom.
But whether many or few entertain
such foolish beliefs, the time Is fast
ming when the Warrior will be
opened, and coal will be barged to the
sea and through inland waters to New
Orleans. Every barge load from the
Warrior means one less barge load
from the Kanawha or the Mononga-
leila. A strife between the Ohio river
barges and the Warrior barges is COM
ing, no matter how small the faith in
the latter is at present. 1t is coming
and the victory will come to the filter,
which will no doubt be the one closer
at hand ready to do business the year
round.

the dealer and the producer. He gratis
by shipping a coal for what 1t is not
and obtaining a price for it which he
would not obtain if it were sold for
what it is. The producer of coal gratis
on the railroads. He expects, because
he ships a large tonnage, to ride free
of charge. When he does this helis a
CRATER. We do not mean to say that
all coal men are grafters. We have
related some few instances of grating
for a purpose, and that purpose is to
show that every CRATER pays sooner
or later for what he thinks he is get
ting for nothing"
And so it is in every other line OF
business. public or private. No con-
siderable contract is let or undertaken
nowadays into which graft sdoes not
creep, the public or corporate enter
prises excelling no doubt in that re-
spect Graft in public contracts lis the
scandal of America. Some of the meth
DDS practiced by the grafters in Mis-
souri, were exposed by Mr.. Folk, but
what he uncovered was but drop in
a bucket Every city and every state
is afflicted by the evil, and, alas, every
industry. There is graft on the rail
roads, in the mills, among the 'mines,
and in the public offices grafterslfairly
swarm.
The evil is largely American. 1t is
prevalent also in Russia, the grand
dukes leading the procession. 1t pre-
walls wherever public sentiment winks
at It, and there is no hope of reform
while public sentiment concerning
graft is in its present lax and permits
