JUST A NICE FIT.

Because we published sketch
 of Governor Davis speech when
 he spoke here on the 8th of Au-
 gust, the Pocahontas News Herald seems to think The Journal is a 'red-hot" Davis paper. Verify, the ignorance and stupidity of some men is appalling. The Jour nal is q newspaper, not the hand ! organ of any political clique or in dividual, therefore 1t publishes public occurrences just as they oc- cur, without any attempt to color or distort the facts in the ease; and
 in publishing a sketch of the gov ernor's speech The Journal did no more that it would have done had the governor of any other state spoken here.
 The Journals idea of the duty of q newspaper is to publish the news and give the facts on both sides of all public questions fairly and impartially, and let the people form their own conclusions.
 But there k class of so-called newspa pers in Arkansas, presided over by lot of warty individuals
 who are only kept right end up by the size and weight of their feet,
 who seem to think that any man who happens to differ from them
 Is fit subject onlyfo the insane
 asylum.
 But they are not so much to 1 blame after all, we suppose, for the size and character of their
 brain will not permit them to en-
 certain very broad view of any
 subject. and, judging from the ed-
 itorial policy of his paper, Athe
 News Herald man seems to fit in
 that class pretty nicely.

FEATHERS UNION 1EETING.

Editor The Journal:
 Newark Union No. sol, held a very interesting meeting Aug. l9. We had several neighboring Uni ons represented and considerable business of importance was trans acted: business that Is calculated to be of great interest to the broth erhood at large l was glad to see so much interest manifested. It stimulates the members to attend, and by that means we get the diff ferent ideas in regard to prOpo@i- tions that are likely to come up. Now, brothers, let me urge you to throw off your lethargy and turn out at every meeting and talk bus mess, and do business. and you will become interested, if you are not already. The social part of the Union Is worth the money 1t cost and the time you lose in at tending the meeting, to say noth- ing about the lasting benefits to be derived therefrom. Our Union meets every first and third Satur- days at 3 o'clock pm.
 Yours fraternally,
 X. H. SAYLORs.

Couldn't Ask Questions.

"In the old days in Texas and other
parts Of the southwest people we're
never inquisitive about q newcomer
autecedents." said T. r. Stringfellow
Of Paris, Tex, at the Arlington.
1T was not deemed polite to ask
questions regarding mans past, and
30 when stranger arrived he was
taken on faith, and il he proved to
be a decent man the community &C.
cepted him. Nobody brought letters
Of introduction in those days, and SO
a man established his own status. An
other reason why questions were not
asked was because too many Of those
who might ask them had records of
their own that wouldn't bear close in
spection. A man whe had run away
from Georgia or Alabama to the Rio
Graude for some infraction of the law
and who had become respectable and
prosperous citizen in his adopted home
would resent being interrogsted him
self, and 80 he extended the some i'm
munity to others.
II knew lots of men in those days
who came West with the sole purpose
of blottipg out the errors Of the past
and Of turning over new leaf. In
many instances they took new names
also, in order to completely sever the
links which bound them to their for
mer lives. Nearly always these men
were genuinely reformed. In their
new homes they ranged themselves
with the lew.abiding snd honest class
es and set their faces against the evil
doers and toughs. who we're numerous
enough a third Of century ago in
many parts Of Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas.
''Some of the best people in these
States today are the descendants of
men who in their youth had been con.
} sidered candidates for the penitentiary
or the gallows."
