The insurrcction against jeff Davis
in Arkansas and the general strife
which prevails within the rank; of the
Democracy in that state have encour-
aged the Republicans to believe that
they have chance of carrying Ar
kansas. even as they have already
carried Missouri and Kentucky, both
Of which were not long ago regarded
as imrrcgnable strongholds Of Bour-
bon Democracy. At the presidential
election of 1901 the Democratic vote in
Arkansas was 64,434 and the Republi-
can vote 1850. A change of less
than 5000 votes would have made the
state Republican. No doubt it would
be the best thing that ever happened
to Arkansas il the Democratic leaders
there were thrown out of power and
the state given the good advertisement
which would come from it's entering
the Republican column.

reputation as a prophet by selecting Il

Caleb Powers is free at last and the
whole country congratulates Kentucky
that Governor Wilson has signed the
pardon papers. The petition for the
pardon was signed by half million
American citizens. of whom full
quarter of a million were Kentuckians.
There is no doubt that terrible wrong
has been done Caleb Powers during
all these years, a wrong that nothins
can now make right The least that
could be done was to give him the
freedom of which he had been unjust
ly deprived. The Democratic con-
sriracy in Kentucky against Calet
Powers is one that makes a dark chap
ter in the history of American politics
as dark even as the story Ct Goebelisnl
itself Of which it was the sequel. ",

Citizens Who Have Subscribed
For Stock in New Company.

AS has already been stated in the
Journal an earnest movement is now
in progress in our city to secure the
money necessary to purchase the

to have this convenient and admirably

this movement will be appreciated by
all, and we believe that our citizens
generally will be glad to help this good
work along. The Journal is only too

Monev Crops and Business.

In Henry CleWS Weehly AiidiiSAeAA A0'
ter we find only the note of cheerful
ness and optimism, and plainly the
country's great financial center is get
ting back it's courage again and pre-
pairing to get busy and enjoy life along
with the rest of the country. The let
ter tells us that the money market con-
tinues exceptionally easy, both at home
and abroad; the diminishing activity in
trade and speculation the world over
being, of course, responsible for this
condition. Gold exports have been
checked and have fallen much below
the aggregate at one time expected
Says Mr. Clews. THE European banks
are generally in good condition, and are
being further strengthened by the large
arrivals Of gold from South Africa, the
production in that quarter being on an
unprecedented scale. The local money
market is sufficiently plethoric to be
comparatively independent of future
demands. On July first dividend and
interest payments aggregatins nearly
$50. 900 600 will have to be provided for.
In July also the Treasury has some
important problems to meet. Owing to
| the growing national deficit it is posi-
BILE that the Governments deposits in
bank NAV be Withdrawn to the extent
of about $50, 100000. The Government
will also have to provide for $64 100000
of Spanish war bonds which will
shortly mature, as well as for $4,000
| 900 3 per cent. certificates. These oper-
ations in connection with the shortly
expected new Panama issue leave the
| operations of the Treasury as related
| to the money market somewhat compli-
Gated Under present conditions, how
ever, they are not likely to cause any
disturbance in money rates"
This financial authority asserts that
the feature of encouragement which
now stands out more prominently than
all others is the crop outlook. Present
| indications point to large crops of all
the important staples. Cotton, wheat
and hay are each reported in high con-
dition, and with larger acreage the
promise is almost certain as to big
Weld. Both winter and spring wheat
are in excellent condition, and the out
look, according to some authorities, is
for a crop of about 70O,00O,00o bushels
or the second largest crop on record
Big oat and hay crops are also almost
certain. Moreover, there is an unusua
absence of injury by insects, and the
ground has been SO well saturated as t(
| make damage from drough or hot
| winds much more remote than usual
Our farmers, therefore, are practically
sure of another profitable year, since
prices are high and there are no sur
plus supplies. This is the chief basi:
for the uncompromising optimism O.
the West. which contrasts so pleasant
ly with the depression still hanging
over the East. The letter goes on t
say that general business shows an i'm
proving tendency. Confidence is gain
ing steadily; and, while summer ma,
prove a period of quiet, there is wei
grounded hope that with a good har
vest, and with political uncertaintic!
out of the way, the volume of trade will
show steady Improvement in the com
ing fall and winter months.

How Harsh
Physic Wrecks the Bowels

Irritate the skin in any spot frequently
and that spot will grow calloused.
That is Natures means of protection.
So with the bowels. When you irritate
the lining with salts or pills, the
lining grows hard.
That SO retards the natural bowel ac-
ton that you come to need physic
constantly.
And you need constantly larger dose
because of the calloused bowels.
You have the "physic habit"
Cascarets bring the same results gently
and without irritation.
They restore the natural bowel func-
tons, so you don't need them long.
And the dose never needs increasing.
Theirseffect is the same as the effect Of

Fifty Years Of the Cable.

This present month of June brings
us semi-centennial anniversary which
is being given no general observance
but which is certainly deserving OF
more than a passing notice. 1t was
lust so years ago this month that the
first Atlantic cable was completed and
the greeting was flashed under the
ocean from Queen Victoria to Presi-
dent Buchanan. The completion OF
that cable was one of the greatest VIC
tories ever achieved by American
genius and enterprise, and to consider
the development of long distance COM
munication within the past half cen
fury is to study one Of the most Won
derful chapters of the worlds history.
The name of Cyrus West Field will
always be inseparably connected with
an enterprise that at the time was of
matchless daring. While he was not
the first to conceive the scheme to lay
a cable beneath the waters of the
Atlantic to connect England and
America, it was he who had the FAR
seeing perception, the courage and
the indomitable energy to carry out
the project, and happily he lived to
witness the duplication of his enter
prise in a ganglia Of deep-sea cables
all over the world.
When Cyrus Field first began his
Undertaking he was rich man, in the
| estimate of that simple time. Ht
retired from business at compare
lively early age with s250.OoO. His
was J. restless spirit, and fate seems
to have predestined him for the mag
nifcent task which he accomplished
against difficulties that would dis
| hcarten any ordinary man. When he
proposed the laying of cable under
| the Atlantic he was greeted with ridi'
Guile. He was referred to as a fantastic
dreamer. a dishonest eXploiter, ar
| idiot. Hard as it was to complete the
plans for putting the cable under tho
seas, it was still harder to secure
funds. for some of the foremost finan'
cicrs of that time held him in dis
credit.
How many times Field and his loya
associates tried to lay the first CABLE
ard failed is a matter of history. bu
| the world viii never know the work
ings of that determined soul that KEEP
on in the face of discouragements
problems and an infinity of annoy
ances capped by the jeers of two con-
tinents that took occasion at eacl
| breaking of the cable to renew thu
storms of rebuke and ridicule. Through
all these vicissitudes the remarkable
Field kept grimly at his work, and thu
monuments to his genius and his faltl
in himself strew the mysterious depths
of all the seas.
The first Atlantic cable was 300
miles long. Within the period Of TIL
fifty years since then more than 200,
900 miles of ocean cables have beel
laid--suiIicient to girdle the cart
eight times These great enterprise
have cost more than $2O0.000,00O, AM
have brought the nations of the worl'
into direct communication; truly, dis
lance has been annihilated. An
within the memory of many person
now living the miracle of the sub
marine cable has been wrought.

Out at the University of Michigan
there is professor who is seeking a
days notoriety by announcing that in
1900 years Timbuctoo will be the
worlds capital and Bantu the worlds
language. 1t is a good, safe prophecy
to make as rome of us are likely to be
how near the mark or how far from
tie mark he gets. Probably one of
his objects in making the prophecy is
to get somebody to ask what Bantu
is, bu: thus far the desire for in
formation on that point does not ap-
pear to be overwhelming.
