TO THE CANDIDATES FOR REPRESENTA-
 TIVE.

GENTLEMEN: A few of us old Confederate veterans have been talking matters over and h. 2 decided to let you know we e still living entities; that we Il that we are entitled to some H. sideration and respect; that e are. under the la vs of the S 2, still entitled to vote; 1t when we petition the legislatJ e, through our representative, we demand and have a right to eX- pect decent consideration. In the last sesslon of the Arkansas legislature we feel that we did not recieve such treatment.
 We sent our representative a petition, signed by a number of men, who in their young days offered the stase their service and their lives: and for four years bore the hardships and, against greatly superior num- bers, won victories unparalled in history. This petition, so far as we could learn, recieved no notice or consideration, and letters written by veterans rela- tive thereto were not answered. We write this to let you gentle men know that we expect, at least, decent treatment, and that we will meet you at Phillip pi on the ides of March,

In a small city like this the vice ol rash judgment is alto- gether too common. Where peo- pie know nearly all their fellow citizens thsre are some who are so ungracious and so un-Christisn as to attribute an evil motive when the actions are prompted by the best of motives, and they are rather disposed to relish a rumor that reflects against a neighbor. Everybody commits either wilfully or through ignorance or weakness; but harsh criticism and rash judgments do not help the offen- der, but shove him down The golden rule should be applied in such cases.

ONE POINT OF VIEW.

One who knows the situation writes that the March of Prohi- bition as a beautifior of Birming- ham was accentuated by the commencement of repairs on the Wilson House and the Palace Royal, the two oldest hotels in the city, for use upon the ground floors ss dry goods establishments where never before in the his tory of the city has there been anything but saloons. They are opposite one another in the heart of the city, and it is said that both will expand upon location in the new quarters.
 Oh, Isn't 1t good to read that shoe stores are more numerous, especially when we think of how our own little darlings love new shoes? 1t is also said that restaurants have multiplied more than any other business, which goes to prove that somebody went hungry when saloons were in full blast.
 The whole city of Birmingham seems to have gone to eating more and drinking less. Good news.

TUCKER TELLS
 OF SPEAKING.
Says Senator Jeff Davis Fails to Arouse Enthusiasm. DOn-
 dgheY Cheered ROundIY.

It beat anything 1 ever wit messed in my life said" Guy B. Tucker, commissioner of agrl- culture. It was the coldest re- ception Jeff Davis ever got in his life. Ae went over the yell raisers of his past campaigns, and they were met without a murmur. He begged the peo- pie to support Kirby and did not get cheer. He beratea Dona- ghey and the people yelled for Donaghey. He charged Ben Griffin with selling the farmers votes and Ben Griffin got the ap- plause. There was nothing left for Davis to do but to get on the R. w. McFarlane platform and and deliver a regular Bob Me 
 Farlane speech from beginning to end. Jeff Davis left Ozark a very disappointed man. The crowd which yelled for Dona- ghey was not small bunch of men in one corner of the build ing but the majority of those who came to hear the speaklng.s r
 'To show where the crowd was, the majority of the conn., try people stayed to hear Dona- gqey speak in the afternoon, and the attendance in the court room was even larger than In the morning. Donaghey makes a plain, forceful speech, on the John s. Little style, and It takes. He told the people that all the charges about his spend 1 ing so much money were ground less. but no mater how much . money he spent, itsWas his own, while the United States and the state were paying Jeff Davis, Kirby and their assistants ST. 800 year, which they were us- ing in an effort to defeat him. ! This was a signal for applause, such as Jeff Davis never did re- ceive.
 Ben Griffin took the crowd in a brief speech. Griffin eXhib- tied a very lsrge picture of Jeff Davis, saying that it was taken from his paper, and when he ran it there was howl of his haV- ing sold the faamers' vote. He had also taken the forlorn Will lie Kirby about the county and introduced him as q man who represented the ideas of the faImers, and there was then no cry of Ben Griffin selling the farmers vote. Griffins referenc to Donaghey was received with much cheering.
 Ther> is no doubt bat what Donaghey made twice as many votes in Franklin county yester day as he had before the speak ing.

From Fridays Dinner Horn. R. R. COMMISSION
 HERE YESTERDAY.
Held Interesting Session at Nevddd'S kdpit0l Building.
 No Action.


 convened at the Court House yes terday at 1::30 o'clock; Commis- sioners R. P. Allen and J. l.. Hampton were present; the other commissioner. John W. Crockett, was absent. The petition of the citizens asking for additional side tracks, a new depot, or the extension of the present one, and to require passenger train No. 6 to make Prescott a rebular stop, also to make Prescott a flag sta tion for No. 1, was read by the secretary.
 The petitioners were represen- ted w. V. Tompkins and M. W. Greeson. The railroad company was represented by MT. Ryan, an official of the road, and by G. R. Haynie. MT. Tompkins made the principle argument for the petitioners, calling attention to the necessity for additional side track in order that shippers of lumber, slaves, etc., could have room to unload the same without piling it up in the main business portion of the town; also that the merchants could have a track upon which to place cars loaded with merchandise, so the same could be unloaded without beingdisturbed by switch engines while unloading same; he laid special stress on the necess- ity for a new depot or the eXten- tion of the present one that the old depot was inadequate for the freight shipped to Prescott, and that it's present condition was un- sanitary.
 It was also argued that the town and community was not properly and adequately fur nished with passenger service north, and contended that if it was within the power of the commission to order that Pres colt be made a regular stop for No. 6, and a flag station for No. 4, that the same should be done.
 Alter Mir. Tonpkins concluded the chairman If the Commission asked if any other citizen desir- ed to make any statement and several citizens made sugges- tions in regard to the matter
 The representatives of the road then presented their side. Mr. Ryan took fin ae9r and at- tempted to show gaat Prescott had sufficient side track for the amount of business done here. He also showed that the com pany's revenue folethis year was  SIP. GOO less than it was last s and contendld that there @asre possible way to provide tue track as requested lie ssia a. preferred not to lake up ne question of a new depot lust now as finances were hard with the company now oil account af the company,
 Mi. Haynie next discussed with the Commission the ques- tion of stopping trains Ne. 6 and No. 1. He showed that the com mission had no power or author ity over interstate trains, that United States Supreme Court and the Supreme court of Arkan- sas have decided thus.
 At the conclusion of Mir. Hay nie's remarks the chairman of the committee announced that it had no authority to interfere with these interstate trains, and the petition of the citizens as to the matter would be overuled, but if the town and community did not have sufficient train serv- ice, the matter could be taken up by filing proper petition, making this request.
 The commission then ad-
