Davis and the Saloon Men.

In a speech before the Wood
club of Little Rock Judge Hem
mingway took occasion to say:
al have heard it said that the
saloon men were solid for DAVIS.
This statement is unreasonable and
untrue. The licensed saloon is a
lawful business. Many good citi-
zens and excellent men are en-.
gagged in il. Between them and
Gov. Davis there is nothing in
common. From Judge Wood they
have nothing 10 fear. SO long as
they respect the law they would
be entitled to ask and would re-
ceive all the protection that the
governors Office cOuldaffOrd them.
Judge Woods life has been passed
in respect for the law, and he has
never felt himself wiser than the
law. His record warrants me in
saying that as governor he would
respect the rights of everyone in
Arkansas. as fixed by law, whether
running a saloon or conducting
any other business. The man who
intends to run a blind.tiger in de-
fiance of law, or who intends to
get a saloon license as means OF
concealing his violations Of law,
can expect no partnership with
Judge Wood M governor. The
pardon broker will find no place
IN his administration, but Anyone
the professional lawyer or the
humblest citizen of Arkansas
can approach him with n petition
for mercy, that mercy which temp
ers Justice, not the mercy which
responds only to the favored par
don brokers. The man who runs
a saloon according to law is inter.
ested with all other good men Ia
Judge Woods election. If Judge
Wood is elected, the lawful saloon
will not have to compete with
blind.tigers, operating under exc
cutive dispensation, or be assessed
for campaign expenses, or the ex
penses Of hunting innkets. BE
sides, he places himself with the
progressive, self.respecting, law
abiding, intelligent and decent
members of society. He stands
for what is right and against what
is wrong. That should be enough
to place every law.respecting sa
loon man in the state with Judge
Wood.n

sign and Mrs. Baldwin in charge of the
local work here desire to raise $3.50 for
that purpose. Ii is desired to refurnish
the barracks at 42l Garrison avenue and
portion of the self-denial funds will
be used in the local work. The army
has been quite successful In reclaiming
the fallen, there having been thirty-two
conversions since Ensign Baldwin and
his good wife took charge of the work in
this city. Aside from these conversions
great deal Of charitable work has been
done. Christmas day 1852 were given a
good dinner. One Thousand garments
have been distributed among the needy
and large quantities of groceries have
been solicited for and distributed among
the distressed and the very poor. For
the first time since the existance of the
army here, sleeping Accommodations have
been supplied nightly to homeless men

What South Can Learn.

Extract from Washington correspondent to the
Fort smith Times.
Representative Sims of Tennes.
see, in the last Congress made a
speech In which he set fourth the
situation in the House as to tenure
as follows:
"The West and South have
sacrificed prestige in Washington
Wy changing their representatives
every time an ambition was born
in the Imagination Of some bright
young lawyer. The reason that
these sections have not eXerted
more influence in national legisla-
ton are because they have left
but few of their representatives
here long enough to ripen into
usefulness. The people of the
West and South should not over
look or pass unn0ticed the state
ment made by Senator George V.
Vest, that New England has dom
mated the politics and legislation
Of the republic. Senator Vest
does not make statements lightly.
He is not given to eXaggeration.
He is not word dealer or phrase
cOiner. He means what he says,
and always has the proof TO sub.
stantiate his statements. The con
dltiOn has existed and every stu
dent of public affairs knows it.
Senator Vest graphically stated
the fact. He casually told the
reason. "They keep their men
heren was the statement the vot.
ers of the central West should
remember. Senator Vests closing
an illustriOus career. He is no
longer a member Of the United
States Senate aud speaks without
being charged with selfish motives
In connection with his remarks il
is well TO keep in remembrance
the story of one little state alone,
the extreme northeastern state
which, of course, is Maine. 1t has
exerted more influence on national
legislation aud politics than any
dozen Western states Combined

and paint mixed in the best lin
seed oil. II is made as follows, and
no more should be mixed than is
to he used that day: Stir into a
gallon of milk about three pounds
of Portland cement and add suf-
ficient Venetian red paint powder
costing three cent? per pound to
impart a good color. Any other
colored paint powder may be as
well used. The milk will hold the
paint in suspension, but the ce-
ment, being very heavy, will sink
TO the bottom, so that it becomes
necessary to keep the mixture
well stirred with a paddle. This
feature OF the stirring is the only
drawback to the paint, and at its
efficiency depends upon administr.
ing a good coating of cement, it is
not safe to leave its application
to unworthy or careless help. Six
hours after painting this paint will
be as immovable and unaffected
by water as mOnth.old oil paint. |
have heard of buildings twenty
years old painted in this manner
in which the wood was well pre-.
served. My own experience dates
back nine years, when | painted a
small barn with this mixture, and
the wood tOday-secOnd growth
Virginia yellow pine-shows no
sign whatever of decay or dry-rot.
The effect of such a coating seems
10 be TO petrify the surface of the
wood. Whole milk is better than
buttermilk or skim milk, as it con.
tains more oil, and this is the
constituent which sets the cement.
If mixed with water instead OF
milk, the wash ruhs and sOaks on
readily. This mixture, with lit
tie extra of the cement from the
bottom of the bucket daDed on,
makes the best possible paint for
trees where large limbs have been
pruned or sawed off.
