Arkansas Eloouence,

Occasionally we have given our
readers choice specimens of the pc
cular kind of eloquerce with which
Senator Davis of Arkansas favors his
colleagues at Washington and Incl
dentally the country at large. 1t is q
kind of eloquence such as was never
before heard in Washington, or any
where else under the heavens, for that
matter. A little of it goes long way
ard so we prefer to serve it up in
small bits rather than to take the
chances involved in giving our readers
much of it at a time. A few days ago
we quoted the riprOaring outburst in
which he disposed of American jour-
nalism. Here is another sample. The
last section seems also to be directed
against editors, but the meaning of
the first paragraph is deep dark
Arkansas mystery.
Here and there, it is true. a brave
soul cries from the watch towers, and
his great eloquence, like the voice of u
bell at sea. is resonant, clear and
loud. amidst the befogged and rolling
waters. But. sir, would you hear the
mutled swish and sob of the under
tow, hear the moan, the deepening
roar, the fitful slash; hear the grind
ing, thudding beat upon dark and
desolate shores. Exhilarated by the
inexplicable efiluvium characteristic of
pageantry and pomp, the mind passes
rapidly through increasing stages of
intoXication, the heart glows, the
head rings with subdued, though alto
gether pleasurable. sounds. while the
victim sinks painlessly, if not joy
fully. into sort of stupefaction. 1t,
sir. is the hypnotism of worldliness-
the spell of wealth.
"Diminutive editors, in paroXysms Of
frenzy. grimaced and gesticulated.
Funniest of creatures, miserable,
monographs, misnamed men, pressed
trousers and all, sinking cravens of
the golden fleet of Mammon, frothed
madly upon seeing my words; their
little, weak bodies trembled, the limbs
twitched and jerked as in spasm; the
eyoballs rolled nervously, and the eyes
emitted greenish light, while the
poor brainless creatures snarled and
snapped aimlessly, as do ordinary
dogs, as it is said, affected with hydro
pnoba."

WORK THAT TELLS.
Plenty Of It Has Been Done Right
Here in Augusta.

Cures that last are cures that tell.
To thoroughly know the virtues Of a
medicine you must investigate the
cures and see if they prove permanent.
Doan's Kidney Pills stand this test,
and plenty of proof exists right here
in Augusta. People who testified
years ago to relief from backacne,
kidney and urinary disorders, now
declare that relief was permanent and
the cure perfect. How can any Au-
gusta sufferer longer doubt the evil
dence?
A. B. Sibley, IL Moves Place, Au-
gusta, Me-, says: 1.-The cure which
Doan's Kidney Pills performed in my
case some years ago has proven to be
a permanent one, and I am pleased to
confirm my former testimonial given
in favor of this remedy. Since l was
cured, / have been constantly advising
those I have heard complaining of
kidney trouble to use Doans Kidney
Pills and where my advice has been
taken, the best of results have been
received"

There seems to be no help or legal
redress for that poor woman who was
unceremoniously arrested on sleep
ing car near Syracuse the other night
on suspicion of being Mrs. Guinness,
the Indiana murderess. 1t was a most
cruel and humiliating experience for
her to be paraded before the whole
country in such fashion, but the
officers were not going to neglect any
possible clue and SO proceeded to
arrest her on the assertion of some-
body who thought that she bore a
resemblance to the missing woman.
The police can only use their best
Judgment in such cases and if they
make mistakes innocent citizens must
suffer and look upon the sacrifice they
are called to make as something for
the general welfare of society.

Down in little Rhode Island the

Down in little Rhode Island the
legislature is still doing business, al
though the 60 day limit was passed
nearly two weeks ago. BY this 60 day
limit is meant the length of time by
which the members of the legislature
draw pay If they remain in session
beyond that time, as they are doing
this year, they get no reward beyond
that afforded them by their own con-
sciences. A large amount of business
still remains to be disposed of, as
many matters came down from last
year when the time was mostly taken
up with futile attempts to select a
United States senator. This means
that there is likely to be a lot of
hasty legislation, since Rhode Islands
public servants, like those of other
states, do not enjoy laboring without
compensation.

the business of the office at Center
WATERFORD is particularly small. 1t has
grown smaller and smaller from year

four times each day Mr.. Coffin has to

instead of getting pay. The first man

that some one might want postage

obtain it. If he sends a complaint to

Tho Fruit Of the Potato.

We are told that the scientists have
discovered method by which the fruit
of the potato plant can be developed
into an edible substance. BY the
fruit" of the potato plant is meant the
small, globular formation, not unlike
little tomato, which appears upon the
vine. There is nothing surprising in
this for science is doing all kinds of
things in these times, but it seems
rather unlikely that the potato fruit
will ever become a popular article of
diet. OF course, if this fruit is devel-
oped it will have to be at the expense
Of the tuber itself which has a place
will not easily be displaced.
The potato plant and. the tomato
plant are very closely related, the chief
difference being that in one case the
tuber has been developed and used for
food and in the other case the fruit.
Both OF these plants are indigenous to
America and were unknown in Europe
until carried there by the early explor-
ers along with other remarkable things
from the New World The Europeans,
thought that the tomato was poison
Gus fruit and as late as a century ago
it was looked upon as merely an Orna-
mental appendage to the kitchen gar
den and called love apple. In the nat
ural state tomatoes are about The size

are generally unfayorable to the plant
Potatoes have had better luck in Flu
rope though only in comparatively re-
cent times. When the early naviga tor:
took them home the European taste
was rot attuned to them. In IRELAND
they had vogue, but it was not unit
the distress in England on account Of
the Napoleonic wars that the potato
became popular as food. Coke, o.
Norfolk, the First Commoner of Eng
land, and the devoted friend of thi:
country throughout the American Rev
dictionary war. was the man to make
the potato popular in England. He wa:
the father of scientific agriculture ant

the verge of starvation.
In this country we eat potatoes to ;
considerable extent, and every bod,
knows that Maine is the best place OF
earth for growing potatoes, but we ar
nowhere in the matter of per capitt
consumption in the class of Germany
which produces probably more than al
the rest Of the world put together. Th
potato is rich in carbohydrates and il
an especially good food for those whi
have to perform manual labor. 1t j
for this reason that it has become s.
popular among the workingmen of al
parts of the world.
