ARKANSAS POLITICS.
Something of What fhe Candidates for
 State Offices Are Doing.

Little Rock, Oct. Is. Special The local headquarters of Hon. Robert W. McFarlane, over the Peoples Saving Bank, on the corner of Second and Louisiana street, is beginning to put on a business like appearance. Leh- man Kay, secretary of the State CapitCl Commission, is in person. al charge of the offices. and he and his assistants are linking down to a good. close campaign. In the absence of his chief Mr. Kay is planning work ahead, so that when Mr. McFarlane arrives from his tirstdash through North ern Arkansas, all will be in readi- ness for him to go on another tack.
 From Philadelphia comes re bort of considerable activity in the Hinemon camp, and those who think that the president of Henderson College is not keenly alive to the necessity for hard work in this campaign. and that he is proceeding along his own lines. in this regard.

 Thus it is seen that the four candidates for the GovernOrship are extremely busy, each intent upon winning the nomination and each carrying on his campaign in his own particular manner.
 For the other offices there is not so much activity. Hon. J C. Clary, of Warren, candidate foi Secretary of State, is in North Arkansas. with Messrs. Kirby and McFarlane. Secretary Ludwig, who has not yet made formal announcement of his can didacy, is steadily at work, say ing but little, but accomplishing much, his friends, say, and Gen | eral Paul Little, secretary to the , Governor, who declares he vii be in this race, is also doing con

WHO WILL BUY.

Any man who wants to buy king dom ready-made and furnished should open correspondence with the monarch
 of Aysbonia. in Africa. For the mod est sum of s2oo,ooo he offers to sell . kingdom ninety by 25o miles in extent.
 with crown, scepter, thirty wives and all other appurtenances of royalty, and
 give possession at once. We don't know whether he is tired of the king business, or whether his wivessare too many for him, or what his object Is,
 but he shows that he is in earnest by advertising in some of the continental Inewspapers. thus showing his appreci- ation of the power of the modern press. Now here is good opening for some lenterprising American to get a king dom all ready to hand, at moderate price. We are not very we'll up in African geography. and have not taken the. trouble to look up the location of Aysbonia, so do not know how desir- able or undesirable 1t may be as a place of residence. but the bargain is plainly good one. If we figure 1t cor rectly here are nearly iR,oco,ooo acres of land offered for what we may call a triie ins comparison. The location may not be good. and the thirty wives might be something of an encumbrance. but the purchaser might divide the iand-and the wives--into parcels and rent them out to advantage. It is not every day that Kingdom is offered for sale. with all the necessary fix lures, and we should think this one would soon be sobblea up.
 Would not this be a me opportunity for Carnegie to get rid of some of his surplus? He pretends that he has a horror of dying rich. and this would be chance for him to dump part of his money. It is true that two hundred thousand would mslxe very small hole in his pile. but t would help little, and would be an evidence of his sin. cerity. To have a castle fin Scotland and a Kingdom in Africa would give him quite a boost above the average American. Or. better still. some of our people who think the United States too common for them might gratify them selves-and the rest of us--by buying this bargain counter kingdom and talk Ing up their permanent abode on it. This country would not shed any tears over them. Any way we view it. we are sure that somebody will get a fine bargain over there.

It seems that Governor Haskell. of oklahoma. was a little more severe and caustic in his inaugural than we supposed. We are not assembled here" he said, ito worship the public officer who ultimately conceded us our rights, particularly when we reflect that long ago, from every standpoint of population, wealth and intelligence, this area was entitled to all the bless ings and privileges of statehood; and now to thank the public officers in ver-gracious terms who have finally performed long and unjustly deferred duty would be in the nature of hug ging the feet of dilatory debtor who finally pays his just, indebtedness. !" This was somewhat caustic under the circumstances. We might even go so far as to admit that it was out of place in an inaugural address, but we repeat what we have said before, that there was provocation for it. We do not suppose that his intention was to in- suit the President and the Republican Party. but his characterization of the way the two territories were treated is just and true. The administration and it's party brought the rebuke on themselves and may as well admit it.

That the President doubted the right of the Secretary of the Treasury to is- sue $10O. .o0O.Oo of short time certih- cates is shown by a dispatch from Washington. which says: The Pres ident will ask Congress to give the Secretary of the Treasury more power to meet emergencies of the present kind. He will call attention to the fact that he had to use in this in- stance a statute that really was in- tended to be effective only in war time, and that 1t should not be necessary to stretch a law that far; but that 1t is necessary in this instance" Whether any of that money, when realized. Yill get away from the New York banks is questionable. The particular law un- der which the Secretary acted was passed for the purpose of raising money during the Spanish American war.
