SAN DOMINGO.

1t is molly question of time, and
possibly very short time, when
Uncle Sam will find it necessary to
intervene in the affairs of the so
called republic of San Domingo. The
reckless, irresponsible people of that
pitiful nation have abused their
rights and given abundant cause for
war, not only to the United States
but to several European nations.
They seem to rely on the Monroe doc
trine for protection at our hands, and
have not the least concern how they
may involve us in trouble with other
powers.
Thirty years ago President Grant
and the eXpansionists of that day
wanted to annex the mulatto nation.
A popular song of the day ran:
We'll show them what, by lingo;
Wen take all North America,
And maybe San Domingo"
But the statesmen of that day could
not see what they wanted with such a
hornets nest, and the "jingoes" were
defeated.
We do not want San Domingo now
any worse than we did then. If any
thing, the conditions there are worse
than they were in Grants time. But
as protector of the integrity of the
western hemisphere, the United States
has a responsibility that cannot be
overlooked, and the east half of the
island of Hayti may be a necessary
addition to our white mans burden
The island has not had a pretense
and the irresponsible PRESIDENT gen
erals who have been warning for a
change to collect the revenue have no
regard for the rights due other ma
tions. Vessels have been fired on. for
eigners robbed and imprisoned and q
general state of anarchy has reigned.
Debts due to English, German French
and Belgian money lenders seem hope
less of collection, and the patience of
the powers is about exhausted. None
of them is anxious to undertake fore
ible righting of the wrongs, and all
are quite willing to respect the Mon
roe doctrine. But all look to the
United Sttaes to bear a strong hand
on the turbulent little nation.
Just now the government of Nor
ales has a little security, and is rest
ing after a succession of victories over
two factions Of insurgents. But it is |
only a breathing spell, and Morales |
cannot be counted on to restore order !
over the island, much less to pay the |
nations debts At the first overt act, |
hostile to the interests of other ma
tons, will come an insistent demand
on this government to intervene.
The problem is worse than we faced !
in Cuba, for the DOmingans are less |
capable of self-gOvernment. Tempo |
rary intervention could not cure the |
evils, for rebellion would follow an
American evacuation, and the island |
would return to its natural state of
anarchy. 1t seems that we will be |
compelled to choose between annexa-
ton, which is desired by the CONNER
cial class of Domingans, and a perma- |
nent prOtectorate, enforcing order and
peaceable elections. The problem is |
our own, and we cannot turn it over
to any other nation. 1t calls for wise |
craftsmanship.

MOVING CONVICT CAMP.

 I Yellville, Aug. 9.-The large force of convicts laying the track on the railroad now stationed at Flippin will be moved to Yell vile right away, as the track has practically been laid to town. Work is being pushed on the road from the town to the de- pot site and it is proposed to make this the best driveway to be had. It is only a distance of a mile and half, and already about $700 has been expended on the same.

LETH1A FOWLER
 SENT TO PEN.
Judge Hutton Grants a New Trial After Her Conviction of Murder in Second
 Degree at Searcy.

Searcy, Aug. g. Mrs. Lethia Fowler was last night convicted of murder in the second degree and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. The jury was out about two hours when it re- turned the verdict. She was charged with killing her son-in- law, Wesley Middleton.
 Shortly after the verdict was brought in a motion for new trial was granted by Judge Hut ton. The motion was argued by Attorney Brundidge for the de- fendant and Prosecuting Attor- ney Andrews and J. V. Roberts for the state. A hot argument followed.
 An application for bail was made and Mrs. Fowler was re- leased on $1, 500 bond.
 The sensational feature of the trial was the fact that Mrs. Alice Middleton, wife of the murdered man, swore against her mother. She stated that she believed her husband had been killed by her mother and hoped she would be convicted and sentenced.
 Judge Hutton's action in grant ing the new trial caused a good deal of comment and came in the nature of a surprise.
 The grand jury returned forty two indictments. Court ad- journed at 12 o'clock last night after being in session three weeks, during which time five were sentenced to the peniten- tiary.

charged, for as the son of a vet eran in gray he had learned the story of that great struggle upon his fathers knee. He had been the fist governor to ever recom- mend an increase in taxation for Confederate pensions. While the ex-Confeds were not paid as we'll as the Yankee soldiers, we didn't have as much money or as many cripples. The trouble lay in the fact that the county and state boards were letting men in who were not indigent.
 He defended his refusal to pardon Mart Vowell and gave the history of the case as we'll as Vowell's previous record in crime and declared that the telegrams from the different Confederate camps urging clemency, were in response to requests made hK IN. F. Lamb, the attorney q Vowell.
 It had been charged that he was an enemy of the public gschools, yet his administration showed big increase in the amount of taxes raised and spent for that purpose. He claimed a portion of the credit for the prosperity of the state, in having raised the assessments of rail- roads and other corporations. Arkansas was the only southern state out of debt and all this had been done in the past three years.
 The banks were paying hardly 10 per cent of what is due from them, he declared, while the farmer in Grubbs is assessed for the full value of his old blind mule. As member of the state board, he had raised the valua- ftion of railroad properties S5, 500,- 900 during his first year as gov ernor, $12,5OO,00O the second year and $20, ,0O0,00 the third year. The Iron Mountain was now assessed at $24,000 a mile, whereas it was only $6,000 when he went into office.
 He didn't wonder that the rail- roads were not in love with him, but as the state debt was paid he proposed to recommend to the next legislature a reduction of one-third the tax levy. He wanted the people to see that the next legislature did not try to impeach him, for he was tired of running for governor. He advocated the building of a sep arate institution for the incura- bly, insane.
 The Little Rock ring had it in for him because he was the only poor man ever elected governor, as his worldly riches consisted of eight children and nine dogs. He didn't give dress balls be- cause he couldn't afford it and he and his wife didn't care for the society of the scissor-coated aristocracy. And while the Lit tie Rock crowd was sore he urged the Democrats of Jackson county to turn out and support the ticket that they might double their rep resentation in the district con- vention, when he said Judge M. M. Stuckey would be candidate for the judicial ermine. @|
 The vital issue of the cam paign he declared to be the mig ger question" raised by Roosevelt and Lodge, which was an effort to bring about social equality. The South had been getting alongs| with the negroes all right until Roosevelt dined Booker Washing ton, which brought a blush of shame to our country. The speaker declared that Roosevelt's reelection may bring on war,
