energy and vigor. This political
discussion has been of great ben
eft to the Judge and has shown
to his admirers that he is capable
of doing something else other
than turn political handsprings
when the time appears ripe to
make killing with the voters.
The editor of the RECORD, how
ever, is panied to note that the
Judge is about to read him out Of
the democratic party. He wants
| to know what we have ever done
towards passing an effective anti
trust law and upon what part of
the Kansas City platform we are
planted anyway. Well, we con-
fess we have done precious little
towards destroying the trusts.
| Very unfortunately for this suf-
fering commonwealth it has never
felt disposed to take us from the
print-shop and land US in the
Arkansas legislature, where we
might have ample opportunity to
kick everything that in the least
favored an octopus into the Ar
kansas river and run Red river
through Trustville with a mighty,
rushing, destructive sweep. We
say the people have never felt
moved to risk us in Little Rock,
at least have never in great num-
bers expressed a desire in that
direction, consequently our rec
ord at trust busting is as blank as
that of Jeff Davis, and we are
panied to confess that we have
accomplished no more in that
line than has our good friend Of
the Herald. What have we done
to pass an effective anti trust law
indeed! What can we do? What
| has the Herald done? What can
the Herald 90?
The Herald can doubt our dem
ocracy if it so desires. We fail
just now to recognize what harm
such a doubt would bring to US.
We we're a democrat in a demo-
cratic county we judge before the
editor of the Herald exhibited the
good judgment of coming to Ar
kansas from way up in lllinoy,-
Jeff Davis would be chronic
enough to call the Judge carpet
bagger,-and the news has es-
capped us if the power behind the
throne in the Herald sanctum has
been appointed or made political
censor for this immediate terri
tory. We do not feel called upon
each week to inform our readers
that we are on the democratic
platform with both feet, as some
editors, who fear the people are
short minded or liable in the
press of business to overlook such
an important fact. Our readers
have never had any trouble in
locating US. Any man who can
and will read can easily deter
mine where we stand. We have
no sign hoisted which reads "We
are a Democrat" nor do we cry
this from the housetops, yet we
affiliate with the party OF our
choice without any trouble from
the election judges. But Judge
Phillips is never an election judge
in our precinct.
But the Herald grows solemn
and declares it can't exactly fig
ure out who we like. 1t says we
do not like Jeff Davis, doubt Dave
King and strike at W. j. Bryan,

GRAFT would suit him." Wouldn't

people. We know them, and may
our good right hand refuse to
trace the Queens English when
we refuse to defend them against
the chicanery of artful 2x4's who
hold a certificate from the execut-
i've mansion TO practice politics in
its lowest forms. VIII the Hardy
Herald be Fair enough to state
that John M8dley's votes in Piney
Fork township came in the pri.
mary and not the general cleo
ton?
! All this talk the Herald is in
dule ing in about other people
does not explain why Judge Phil
lips was so terribly against Jeff
Davis a short two years ago and
is SO sweet on him now. When a
man undergoes a political con-
version from one belief to another,
especially a newspaper man, he
should be able to give his readers
some reason for it. 1t appears to
i
us that a soundly converted man
would want the people to know
the reason fos the hope that is in
him. We know a hundred men
who since two years ago have
turned against Jeff Davis, and
every last one of them can tell
why they did it. Judge Phillips
is the only man we have yet heard
of who has changed one way or
the other who has no reason for
the change. If Judge has one,
he is so ashamed of it he is keep
ing it tighter than is good for the
constitution and bylaws of good
policy. Of course the Judge says
he is merely keeping up with "the
issues" but the average citizen
did not know before this "the
issues" were so much like the
IrishmGal's flea.
With a whirlwind finish a few
weeks ago the Judge flashed a
personal letter from Governor
Davis in the face of an anxious
populace in which the governor
assured the Judge that 81 am
committed body and soul to the
Kansas City platform. This
declaration the Judge seems to
think ought to make the whole
state bend the knee to the would
be third termer. 1t cost the gov
ernor nothing to make that state
ment. He might have added also
that he is committed to the idea
of advancing his own political in
terests at any cost; that he is
committed to the practice of par
doning the most debauched
wretches who justly land in the
penitentiary, including buck ne
groes who assault innocent white
girls; that he has been known to
commit himself to the purchase
of a convict farm by the sale Of
which he might increase his own
bank account to the tune Of S12,-
500 at the expense Of the state;
that he is committed to the belief
that if he can place stigma upon
the characters of such good men
as Gov. Eagle and profit by it
himself it is quite the thing to
do; that he is committed to the
expenditure of the states money
for his own personal uses and
comforts. He might have added
that he is committed body and
soul to the whiskey and wizard
oil habit, and he could have more
easily proven either Of these
statements by his record than the
secret he confided to the Judge.
He is today making the effort Of
his life to tear down one of the

outs with the whole world. That
is a clinker. But for the relief of
our neighbours mind we will say
that we are in love with such
grand opponents of democracy
and such liberal men as Berry
and Jones, red-headed, scrappy
Ned Cormack, Arthur Pue Cor
man, grand old Bate, Vest, Cock
rell, Cleveland and dozens of
others whose names a detective
couldn't find in the Herald. The
Herald misrepresents US when it
accuses US Of a dislike for Senator
King. The Herald cannot point
to line where we have charged
him with any irregularity, neglect
of duty or doubted his ability.
The only thing we hold against
Dave King is he sometimes APP
propriates to himself more than
his share Of the games of "Cali-
fornia Jack" when he comes to
town. We are friend to Dave,
despite his hoggishness in that
line.
The Herald seems to have con-
tracted the habit of misrepresent-
ing things and people. In its last
issue it scatters the false news
among it's readers that zone John
Medley has at one or two former
elections received votes for gov
ernor." Then it adds: SIS it
possible that in the township
where the Record is published
that there are men who operate
with the democratic party who
refuse to support the nominee?"
John Medley has never received
votes in Piney Fork township for
governor in the general election,
The first time Governor Davis
made the race, and when all the
opposition withdrew, John Med
ley, in the primary, received
something like thirty votes for
governor. The editor of the
RECORD cast one of these in that
primary, a fact which he has
never to this good day regretted.
There are as good democrats in
Piney Fork township as there are
in Sharp county, Arkansas or the
Union. The editor of the Herald,
like other demagogues, would like
to prejudice the people against

JAPANESE RENEW ASSAULT
SEVERE FIGHTING RESUMED At
PORT ARTHUR ON SAT.
URDAY LAST.

Chefoo, Aug. 3O.-Severe fighting
was resumed at Port Arthur on Aug.
~, according to Chinese who left there
on the evening of the 9th. Between
Aug. % and 26 there was some fight
ing, but it was less severe than that
on the 9th. One of the Chinese was
arrested and compelled to carry the
dead from the battlefield at Pail
chuang, which the Japanese attempted
to capture on Aug. 26. Thirty carts
were used to carry the dead, number
ing 400, from the trenches and out
skirts to the city. A policeman told
the Chinese that the efficient soldiers
In the garrison at Port Arthur num-
bered over 10000.
A Chinese who lived near Bihlung-
shan declares that he saw the Rus
SLAMS occupying this fort, from which
previous reports stated that they had
been driven. Probably both reports
were correct at the time they were
current. as mi-official advices state
that many positions about the fortress
change hands repeatedly. The fight
ing, which began on the 9th, soon be-
came general. While the Chinese were
ut sea Aug. % the heavy firing was re-
sumed. Two junks containing contra
band of war were sunk by Japanese
torpedo boat ten miles of Liaoti pro-
mOntOry.
It is said that fort No. has changed
hands four times and Is now unoccu-
pied. The Japanese filed the moat in

ARE REFUSED BY PACKERS
Requests of Striking Stock Yards Butchers
For Conference Are Refused By the
Packers.

Chicago, Aug. 30-Application was
made to the packers by the stock
yards strikers during the day for
conference, the purpose being to bring
about peace in the industrial conflict
waging at Packing Town. The con-
ference was refused by the packers.
The application came in the form of
a communication from the allied
trades council and was signed by Pres
ident Matthew Carr of the allied
trades. The request was sent imme-
diately after the close of joint meet
ing of the national executive board of
the Butcher Workmen's union and the
allied trades conference board and
was addressed ITO J. Ogden Armour
and his associates.
Mr.. Armour, upon receipt Of the
communication, at once called the
heads of the other big packing plants
into session. When the meeting of
the packers ended a communication
was addressed to President Donnelly
and his associates declining the confer
ence the strikers had asked Tor. The
reason given was that no good could
come from such conference.
The following is the letter which
President Donnelly sent to the pack
ers:
"Gentlemen-Inasmu as the exist.
ing strike in the packing industry is
causing much inconvenience to the
general public, as well as creating
much i'll feeling and criticism, and be-
ing DESTROYS of doing our full duty in
this matter we respectfully request an
early conference with you with the
view to effecting any honorable ad
justment OF the controversy"
The packers reply was:
Your letter of Aug. 20 has been re
ceived and in reply thereto have tt
say that considering the present con
dition of our plants and the result!
of past conferences we can see NJ
possible benefit that can follow an!
further conference. Therefore we re
specially decline your request"
Surrender Must Be Unconditional.

ordinary Strength.
Berlin, Aug. 30.-German military
men are discussing the situation of
General Kuropatkin with the keenest
interest. They have information that
the defenses of Liaoyang are of extra
ordinary strength The fortifying Of
the town was entrusted to Genera:
Melishteko, who enjoys here the repu.
tation of being master of military
engineering. During the past two
months he has fortified all the strategic
positions around Liaoyang in manner
well nigh impregnable. Triple lines
of trenches crown every height where
artillery could be effective. The en-
tire line of Notifications is connected
through passages for facilitating the
reinforcement of endangered points,
while bomb proof retreats covered
with steel rails protect reserves.
All important points have tele.
graphic. communication with head.
quarters. The German critics think
Ltaoyang's defenses about equalize the
difference in numbers between the
Russians, estimated at 100000, and
the Japanese, numbering 100000. The
danger of General Kuropatkin's situa-
ton is recognized as being bottled up
like Field Marshal Bazaine, who sur
rendered Metz to the German forces
In 1870. 1t is doubted by the experts
If General Kuropatkin will b able to
prevent the complete encircling OF
Liaoyang, which would mean, prob.
ably, the eventual loss of his entire
army. The Japanese delay of action
is believed to- have been due to the
necessity of bringing up siege guns
with which to break the Russian for.
tificatiOns.

GREATEST LOSS At AKP|NG
RUSSIAN CASUALTIES ON AUG. rs
AND rs THREE THOUSAND
KILLED OR WOUNDED.

Hardin, Manchuria, Aug. 30.-The
Russian losses in the fighting of Aug.
rs and rs, east and south of Liaoyang,
were 5000 killed or wounded. The
great majority of the casualties were
sustained at Anping. The withdrawal
Of the Russians from their front at
Anshanshan and from their eastern
position was made simultaneously for
strategic reasons.
In the fighting of Aug. 26 the One
Hundred and Thirty-ninth Saraisk
regiment, with battery, executed a
particularly successful flanking move
ment On the Japanese extreme right.
The Russians, unperceived, got in the
rear Of the Japanese, whole columns of
whom were moved down before they
were able to extricate themselves.
Eyewitnesses agree in admiring the
fanatical bravery of the Japanese.
Many of the wounded committed sui
eide rather than fall into the hands of
the Russians.
An additional detachment of 600
Russian wounded was sent northward
Sunday.

packer. The leaders should not hest
tate in calling the strike off so that
the men, who are anxious, could find
work. MAN, Of them will be rehired
in Packing Town, but there are thou
sands who must look elsewhere for
employment and they should be re-
leased SC lhey can begin their hunt

does not make any difference what
peace proposal the strikers have to
submit-"e shall rot deal with the I'M
ions. The Cnly terms of surrender we
shall consider will be the return of the
men as Individuals
1t is understood that the peace pact
which the leaders have prepared pro-
vides that the men shall be taken back
as union men and the wage scale in
effect before the strike be recognized.
The effort of the leaders is to devise
some means Of surrender that can be
construed as settlement"
There was no indication of the i'm
mediate realization of the break in
the ranks of the strikers anticipated
by the packers. Early trains arriving
| at the stock yards were thronged,
about $4,000 men and women being
taken III. The crowd, however, proved
I to be the usual throng of strike break
ers and there was no suggestion of
disorder. Desertions from the ranks
OF the strikers were no greater than
usual on Monday. They Appropriated
about 100. The failure of the antici-
pated stampede to materialize proved
a disappointment to the packers.
A development of the day was a
walking out Of 200 employees of plant
of the American Can company, they
being ordered to quit because the CON-
pany was furnishing cans to the pack
ers. Investigations are making at the
other Chicago factories of the com
pany and the leaders say if the com
pany is supplying cans to the packers
in violation Of their agreement to not
do SO during the continuance of the
butchers strike the employees of the
company all over the country will be
called out.

fighting a rearguard action for nearly
ten miles from Anping, bringing it's

of the Russian military forces at Port
Arthur, has telegraphed to the en-
peror thanking him for the recent
message of encouragement sent to the
garrison at Port Arthur, saying
that the defenders of the for

sible to hold out for more than a
month or six weeks.

General Kuropatkin it will be divert
ed to Mukden.
From an excellent source it is stated
that the i'll starred Russian battleship
Orel, which already has suffered two
accidents, will not be able to join the
Baltic squadron. According to reports
when her engine trials began it was
discovered that the engines had been
practically wrecked by workmen in
PRODUCING iron filings into the valves
and cylinders.
1t will probably require man months
to repair the damage. This is the
secret of the failure of the Orel to 60

Badly Wounded.

Badly Wounded.
Silver City, N. NJ. Aug. 30.-In a
shooting ARRAY here Sunday, Constable
Rodriguez was killed, Town Marshal
kilburn was fatally and Patrick Num-
and Howard Chenowith very badly
wounded.
Num-, who is foreman of the "Dia.
mond" cattle outfit, in an effort to in
huence several of his cowboys to re-
turn to the ranch, became involved in
fight with one of them Chenoweth,
friend of the cowboy Num- was try
ing to subdue, grabbed Nunn's revol-
yer and began shooting Mum was
hit twice and Rodriguez was shot
through the heart. Kilburn then at
tempted to disarm Chenoweth and
was fatally shot in the neck. Deputy
Sheriff John Collier, armed with a
shotgun, then engaged Chenoweth in
a duel, shooting the latter in the face
and neck. The fight occurred on the
main street of the town.
