United States Has Displayed

In spite Of increasing discouragements,
in spite of repeated provocations to ex-

in the northern regions of Mexico where
American interests have suffered most
seriously from lawlessness, the Govern

from aggressive action and sought by

alton, and to arouse II to Its duty to

Arkansas.

ARKANSAS.
The action of the Central Com
mittee in nominating a candi-
date, instead of calling a pri
mary election for that purpose,
was an almost imperative party
necessity, since the closeness of
the general election would not
give time for the holding of
primary before the other election;
and with II. L. Kennel, the
boss, since Powell Clayton's
death, of the Republican party
in Arkansas, a candidate Tor
Senator in the general election,
it would not have done for the
Democrats to have risked the
chances of an open field to all
Corners. The action of the Cen
trail Committee, in naming a
man for Senator, was opportune
and proper.
Whether it named the right
man may be a debatable ques-
ton, but that was one which
the Committee had to decide at
once, and as it is composed of
the party's selected represent a.
tives, and a majority of them
voted for Judge Kirby, on the
first ballot, and then the nomi-
nation was made unanimous, it
is the duty of every good Demo
crat in Arkansas to give to their
party candidate hearty and
enthusiastic support.
While we do not regard Judge
Kirby as the equal, in point of
ability, of Senator Clarke, and
for that matter there are very
few men in America who were,
nevertheless heis a man of sound
judgment, high order OF intelll-
gence and most studious and
thoughtful While it is very
probable that he will never
gain the eminence which Sena-
tor Clarke attained in the Unit
ed States Senate, as a leader,
constitutional lawyer and de-
batter, we believe that Judge
Kirby will prove himsel to be a
practical, safe and reliable Sena-
tor, and one that his party will
have no reason to complain of.
Personally, Judge Kirby is =
most affable, genial and courte.
Gus gentleman and by his de-
meanor, and by his long political
career, has won over many warm
friends, who ever adhere to his
cause with zeal and tenacity.
Now, that the nomination has
been made, let all true Demo
Gratis forget their past politi-
cal differences, and on the 7th OF
November give Judge Kirby an
old-time, rousing Democratic
majority.
In this connection, we, also
wish to congratulate Gov. Hays
on his action in calling the spe
cial election for Senator on the
same day of the general election
BY so doing he has forestallee
the possibility of a Republican
getting a chance, and has like
wise saved the state of the enor'
nous expense of holding a sep
arate election for Senator.
We congratulate Judge Kirby
on his nomination, and Gov
HAYS on his wise course in thu
interest of the people and hi.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be
Cured.


By local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased por-
ton of the ear. There is only
one way to cure catarrhal deaf
ness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustaehian Tube. When
this tube is intlamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness is caused by
catarrh, which is an inhamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Cure acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces
of the system.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Catarrhal
Deafness that cannot be cured
by Halls Catarrh Cure. Circu-
lars free. All Druggists, 75c.
