equal rights and privileges for all the greatest good to the greatest number. It should be the policy of the democratic party of the south to turn the keen sun light of sound principles upon present. day questions, and to seek solu- tlons in harmony with our institu- tions instead of destructive of them.
 Against these new follies of budding self-socialism, the demo- cratic party of the Union, can af- ford to array itself with unflinch- ing faith, and in such movement the democrats of the south should be the leaders. Such an attitude would be in harmony with the democratic faith of the past; it would be in harmony with the best aspirations of the democracy for the future. Upon the subject of the tariff, freedom from undue favors to special interests; upon the currency, freedom for the use of credit in all forms, which are useful to industry, without any further regulation than public safety aud convenience require; upon public expenditures, free- dom from waste and excessive taxation; upon the regulations of corporations, freedom from special favors and from any inter- ference except such as is neces- sary to the maintenance of equal opportunity for all under equal laws-these doctrines adapted to present conditions, are in har- mony in each case with the funda- mental teachings of the fathers of democracy; they are in harmony with the interests of the south; and, what is more, they are in harmony with the true interests of the nation, and the continuance of it's progress in the paths mark ed out by the founders of the re- public and the framers of the constitution.

Letter From California.

Elmodena, Cal, April 23, '06.
 Editor TRIBUN I would like to use the columns of your most worthy paper to let the people of Green Forest and vicinity know they haven't entirely gotten rid of ne yet.
 First of all I will write about myself and second about the state of California.
 I landed in California the filth of Aug. '05. l then weighed IA punds. I now weigh 180 lbs. 20 of which l gained in the first two months. So you see the west has agreed with me. There are many things of which I might write to interest the readers of THE TRIBUNE, but after consider ing the many select the "Salton Sea and district" as my theme.
 The Salton Sea is located in the great Colorado desert. The desert is from 65 feet to 270 feet below sea level. This desert lies in the two states of Arizona and California and extends south into Old Mexico.
 It is named from the Colorado river which flows drought. The desert is supposed to be the bed of an arm of the Gulf of California that has been cut off by volcanic upheavel.
 I was on this desert 4 months and found the temperature to run as high as 113 degrees F. in the winter time.
 The California Developing Go. conceived that this desert could be made useful, and about four years ago they tapped the Colo rado river about thirty miles be- low Yuma, Ariz., and brought the water through canal on &C., count of the lay of the land, down through Old Mexico and back into California on the west side of the desert because the best land was at that side.
 When the company tapped the river below Yuma they failed to protect their head gate by a but ment to ward off the current which is changeable in that soil. So when the yearly flood of the Col orado, caused by melting of the mountain snow, came down, the head gate was washed out and the channel of the canal was made wider and deeper until it carried the whole of the river. When this great volume of water reached the point where the small ditches carried the water of distribution it was too much for them, so it flowed to the northwest corner of the desert, which is the lowest, by or in two channels. One was named the Almo river and the other WAS named New river.
 Thus in an old salt bed it formed an inland sea which is now 35 miles wide and 70 miles long. The sea is contantly be- coming larger. It has already forced the Southern Pacific rail- road to build new tracks four times.
 Now Mr. Editor if you think this will interest your readers as Josh Billings said you may "publicate it.
 Frank Sisco, who left your midst, is now with me. We are delighted to read the THE TRIB- UNE every week now.

Sciatica Cured After Twenty Years of
 Torture.
 For more than twenty years MT. J. 5. Massey, of 3322 Clinton St. Minneapolis, Minn., was tortured by sciatica. The pain and suffering which he endured during this time is beyond comprehen- sion. Nothing gave him any perma- nent relief until he used Chamber lain's Pain Balm. One application of that liniment relieved the pain and made sleep and rest possible, and less nent cure. If troubled with sciatica or rheumatism why not try 25-cent bottle of Pain Balm and see for your self how quickly it relieves the pain. For sale by all druggists.

OPPORTUNITY
 OF THE SOUTH
Most Prominent Virginia Democrat |'POints Out the Road to Success,
 Tie Historic Past and Gi0ri-
 ous Future of Democracy.

The extremely laVoraole lhi ession created by Judge Park $ speech at Charlotte, on the = rolof party management by E@dgmocrats of tho southern . .6es. is no new idea. After the irressional election of 1902, one the foremost democrats of the | Dominion State, in an inter- Nv Commenting on the result of lse elections, anticipated the ne yiew when he said: "The Sure su ccess of the party lies h the democrats of the south . q states. They have the power teontrol and direct it's policy in Q democratic national conven- . Se and in congress if they choose ,sdo sso. It lies with them to < b itsound guidance and to put , n the road to victory. If the llocrats of the south will cut efrom the socialistic element, Ither in the east or west, which had too large share in party trol during the last six years,
 will return to their former
 pte support of fundamental ocratic principles, the country
 again be willing to intrust the party the direction of onA affairs. With strict ad- ,nco to the constitution as it with no encroachment upon Y rikhts of the several states
 with no such extension of alpower as is being urged .Fepublican leaders; by strict kor1Y in administration, and |erate taxation for public pur-
 Is, the party will recover it's influence. The assertion of Ne principles brought victory 1epast, and adherence to them N4regain for the party the con- N4lceIof the American people. :" ' 1903 this same gentleman N9, further expression on the !s subject in an interesting ar- s4 Indicating magazine, which S nay be well for democrats 3 yWhere to ponder over at this .

ed to solicit contributions no mat

thus advertise the localities of the
productions and the public spirit
of the contributors. OF cereals
and forage plants peck of seed
will be sufficient. The contribu.
tions of any parties desiring to be
represented at the Exposition will
be cheerfully received, sent in to
the Department free of cost and
exhibited under the name Of the
contributor and I'll honors and
distinction will 60 TO the contribu-
tor,
Virginia made an excellent ex-
hibit at st. Louis and the Rock
bridge exhibit was specially attrac-
tive as to fruits and corn. Mr..
neech will make speciality of seed
wheat and all mineral products. 1t
is to be observed that only small
contributions are solicited, but If
the best of each is sent the aggre-
gate will be splendid exhibit of
the resources. OF minerals, clays,
etc., !about sixty pounds of each is
desired. Virginia at st. Louis
stood about third in the union as
an agricultural state. This was
wonderful showing when we con-
slider that only very small amount
was spent on this collection, which
goes to show that we have a large
number of public spirited people
in the State.
