A citizenship of more than thirty years in Pope County, and business relations with the people of the county for about quarter of q century makes this gentleman's name intimately fa- miliar to almost every man within the borders of our county. Hence in call ing the attention of our readers to his candidacy for seat in the General Assembly of Arkansas as Pope County's next Representative, it is not necessary for us to give the gentleman any intro duction to our people. Mr. Howell is known to you all as one of the best and most successful business men in the County, and, if we have not got an erroneous impression on our mind, we believe he has also served our people with credit as an official. We call es- pecial attention to MT. Howel's circu- lar letter defining his position upon the vital issues which are before the people, and we cannot refrain from commenting the open frankness with which he defines his attitude, and the means which he employs to give pub- 1iclty thereto. It strikes us that a plain, manly and unequivocal state mentN of q mans sentiments, Gone aspir- ing tothe Legislature, especially sub mitted to the people in this manner, without all that bragadocio, clustering and heated excitement and personal allusion to other aspirants who may be contending for the same office, is far preferable, and gives the people fully as fair an opportunity to judge of his merits, as the method which has now become so popular, of jumping il about tho County and kicking up the great hurrah which generally ensnes before each election. Hence, without intending to make any discrimination between aspirants for this position, we commend Mir. HowelPs course, and we hope the people of the County will weigh carerully what he states to be his views, for at this particular time no mau should be sent te the Legislature whose platform is not clearly and plainly deiined. And without presum- ing to make any suggestion to other aspirants we may be permitted to ex- press the hope that they will come out and place themselves upon the record in the same public manner adopted by Mir. Howell. a

 County Court again this week.

 Items scarce this week. Plenty too, were we allowed to tell all we know.

 -McKennon or Byels? That's the question now mostly discussed on our streets.

 Miss Jessie Howell, one of the fairest young ladies of Russellvill, was in town Sunday visiting Miss Rosa Patterson.

 III. c. Howell and lady came up last Saturday on visit to the old homestead. By the way we are for H. Clabe for Representative, and we are thinking that on the day of the election there will be just enough of our opinion to elect him.

 We are sorry to chronicle that from present indications the wheat crop in this vicinity will be almost an entire failure. We saw some from MT. Poynter's field, near town, which will not pay for cutting, and we hear several parties talking of blowing it up and planting corn.

 We don't blame the young man for not going to the class at Sunday school last Sunday; aside from hls personal feelings in the matter, there were greater attractions which nat urally made him feel inclined to keep his seat in the back part of the house. You were correct for once, my boy.

Last week the little yacht Il. d. Bradley,
Capt. Dunham owner and commander, left
Cambridge for Baltimore, driven by r. D.
Bradleys motive power, more Familiarity
known to our readers as Bradley's Prone
thor. Two successful experiments have
heretofore been tried on the Choptank,
but last week q more successful trip was
made to Baltimore, a distance Of seventy
five miles.


Mr. Bradley has not yet fully perfected
this new invention, but he is Just the man
not to cover before obstacles and with his
knowledge Of science combined with prac.
tical experience, there cannot we think, be
any doubts, of his producing an invention
which will ,astonish and revolutonize the
motive power of the world.


This motive power is certain kind of
gas, which is evolved by mechanical dsin-
tegration, the water being forced through
solid silver by hydrostatic pressure, which
is automatic. and is operated by the engine.
This product is introduced into small cells
of one inch internal diameter, made of the
best decarbonized steel, and there quicken
FED into gas by heat, which does not need
to be over the ordinary temperature to pro-
duce steam. There is no water introduced
as uater into the generators.


The apparatus, therefore, contains moth
ing but pure gas, without any likeness to a
steam boiler. Three hundred pounds pres
sure can be had from a thimblefull of
water, and the pressure can be raised any
degree to thousand Of pounds to the square
inch by regulating the supply of water.
The gas frequently reaches so intense a
state as to show great signs of electrical
action, but before being admitted to the
cylinder Of the engine it is oxydized, which
fully prepares it to act with all the smooth
ness of steam on the piston.


1t is also claimed for this gas that it is
free from explosion, and that human life is


not endangered as in the case of steam en-.
gines. The generator is composed of q
series of five hundred and sixty cells, one


inch in diameter on the interior and two
inches on che exterior, the whole occupying


a space of only twenty-five square inches
, The first step in the motive power begin:


with the explosion of the water into small
particles, which can no more explode {
! second time than powder once ignited.-

As matter of policy | protest that the
Southern people shall not be put in the
attitude of even apparent hostility to the
National credit. Nothing can more surely
prevent the return Of the Democratic party
to power than such a position by the South
ern wing of that party. Looking at the
question as matter of policy outside of all
principle, 1 do trust that the Southern
people will place themselves where their
interests lie-in the position of absolute
fidelity to the National credit. 1t is easy
to make the Northern people belive that
we are willing to depreciate the National
credit, and even to repudiate the National
debt. 1t is natural that they should
believe we have no fondnesss for that debt,
and their politicians will be quick to make
use of that natural feeling for the purpose
of consolidating the North against the
South. believe for one, that we are
under every obligation of honor, as well as
interest, to stand by the National credit
and pay the National debt to the last
farthing. | think an unmistakably posi-
ton on this line, upon the part of the
South, will do more to answer the ISLANDERS
of Northern politicians than anything else
we can possibly do. will say, in all kind
ness, that, while know they do not in
tend it, that every Democrat who is now


insisting upon continuing on the country
an irredeemable paper currency, and
establishing the unlimited free coinage of
silver, with view to the payment of our
National debt, is doing the most effective
work possible to secure a continuance in
power of the Republican party in the elec.

The uproar against Ben Hill, Senator
from Georgia, on account of his opposition
to the Silver Bill, is shaking Georgia like
an earthquake. The press of the State,
ably assisted by the journals of neighboring
States, is giving him the most lively talking
to he has ever received. If he withstands
it and votes, as he declared he would, he
will prove himself worthy of his place. His
sentiments are all the more refreshing
because of their almost entire novelty.
With the exception of Mr.. Lamar and Mr..
Bayard, he stands almost alone in the
Solid South as defender Of the National
credit and honest finance. 1t is absurd to
say his words are in any sense a refutation
Of the charge that the attitude of the
South is seriously alarming. He only
proves the astonishing unanimity of his
section when he calls out nothing but op
position by his utterances~

they don't want any curbstone competi

wehaye been attic trouble to count al
the butcher stalls inside the Second Ware
Market house, and there are Just thirty
nine Of them, with possibly availabl,
space for q couple more yet unoccu


pied. We have not counted the


stalls in the Fifth Ward Market


House, but as that building Is


not more than half the size Of the


Second Ward market it Is not likely


to contain any greater number of stalls,


Besides, in passing through the latter the


same familiar names over the stalls, with


few. exceptions, greet the eye, as in the


Second Ward market.


1t will be said by some, perhaps, that


the butchers pay ahigh rent for their stalls.


and, therefore, they ought 10 have some


advantages. To this We object, on the


ground that no man or association OF men


are entitled to special protection at the ex-
pense OF the people. But 1t is well to cx-
anime this matter Of stall rent, and see
how 1t pans out, According to the records
in the City Clerks office, the highest rent
paid for any butchers stall is fifty.seven
dollars per annun, and the lowest, fifty
four dollars, or an average, say, Of fifty-fye
dollars and a half. AS there are two mar
ketdays in every week, or one hundred
and four in the year, it makes the rent.
al Of market stall inside the market
house little over fifty cents per market
day. The man who sells from a wagon
backed against the curb-stone pays tax
of 25 cents, or, as the butcher would say,
only half as much as he does. The COM
penSating advantage, however, is that the
proprietor OF q stall has fixed locality; his
customer always knows where to find
him, while the scurbstone man is in one
place one day and perhaps half the length
OF the square distant on another day. So
that he can never Secure the advantage Of
a regular custom. There is just as much
choice in outside localities as there is in
the inside, and there are plenty Of people
who attend market who would be willing
to pay double their wagon tax for the
privilege Of occupying special place all
the time. There is an essential difference
in the mere matter Of fixed location, to say
nothing Of the difference OF comfort in all

So little have the true interests OF the

scheme which happily fell through for

his meat to market and sell iii any guam

dare make him afraid. There is that much

suit. What the farmers want is to learn
to cut up their meat in good style and
make it attractive in appearance, just as

If WE had a hundred policemen, ten in

was, and the people behave themselves
in the most creditable manner. This
being the case our correspondent will
therefore have to excuse us for
emitting his communication; since it
will be construed as plea for increasing
the police force, which it seems to be,
rather than report of a local disturbance
which is duly mentioned in our local

This gentleman who has been 50 long in command of tue Depart ment of Arizoaa las received not,cc that Gell. Wilcox will soon sue coed him.

 There has appeared from time to time so many unfair and prejadicil statements in the columns of the Citizen and Sentinel of this Terri tory, that We deem il our duty to say word or two.

 We have been acquainted with the General a sufficient length of time to have enabled us to form a safe judgement of both his charac- ter and capacity, and if our know ledge of men and insight into char scter serves Us usually we'll, We are safe in concluding that Gen. Kautz, will continue to grow in the good opinion of all well meaning and fair minded men, notwithstanding the biased and unmeasured statements eminatinS from certain sources.

 His removal from the command ofthis Department at this time does not argue ineliciency, dishonesty, nor anything of the kind. General Wilcox according to military rank, custom and usage is entitled to thi. command and is succeeding to it in the ordinary course of military events.

 In the light of the peculiar sur vices required of the military, in keeping the peace within the borders we deem it unwise on the part of the

 War Department to cause a change of commanders, in as much as Gen.

 kautz is fully acquainted with the situation of affairs, the strength and character of the willy enemy we have to deal with, and the character of the country which must occl lsion- ally be secuted over in search of the renegade Indians, Gen. Wilcox will have all these important lessons to learn and in learning them he too may eugender the animosity of news. paper Generals who assume to know

 more about commanding a military department than the General him self. Gen. Kautz and lis estimabh lady wi! carry with them from tl.is Territory the good will and well wishes of the great mass of those whose fortune it has been to have made tEeir acquaintance. May we not hope and reasonably expect, fol i the sake of the safety of our citizen.

VIII d.tii uc O-aIlcu uloh to dSselu- ble at the polls and there express in the usual manner their wishes as to whom they desire shall represent them in the national Congress.

 The people should realize that they are soverign in this matter; that it is their voice that shall speak the the name of him who shall be the coming man, that their will must be obcyed, and if thay-.he honest in dust.ious hlorcr, miner, mechanic and tradesmcn-are awake t7 their own interests and the interests of the public, they will give thought to this matter and by talking and ac:- ing in harmony will decide the qucs- ton in favor of some one from among the very best of our able and repre- sentative men. Politicians are at work preparing the way iorsomeone from among their own number. This is all well enough i' they will plan, devise and execut, for the common good of all, but we know thata large majority of 50 called ambitious poll ticians are extremely selfish and all their efforts are usually put forth with a view to personal honor and aggrandiz.meat only; and We know further thgtquestionlble means are frequently brought into requisi- ton to euabl, them to more fully accomplish their coveted ends.

 In all sections of our country, is this sort of conduct lamentlbly true, and more especially and dare msly So on the frontier, and in new

Do men who own small farms keep three
or four COWS for the purpose of raising
calves for sale or for the butter the cows
produce? Of course the reply is for but
ter. Then the breed to be selected is that
best adapted to butter. Observation and
experience both go to prove that the Jer-
sey, commonly called Alderney, is above
all others, the butter COW. They are easi-
ly kept, very docile and beautiful, giving
milk of superior richness, from which is
produced finely colored, solid butter, hav-
ing an equal texture and favor.


There are prodigies in any breed, but
the ordinary Jersey COW can be relied
on to give one pound of butter per day
to average that the year round. They do
not go dry long; oftentimes it is difficult
to dry them off before calving. A record
from ten to sixteen pounds of butter per
week is not at all rare. How much better
then for the housewife who aids her hus-
band in his efforts to gather around him
the comforts of a true home, by purchasing
household necessities by the sale CT the
dairy product, to have COWS that reward
her labors by giving quantity of rich
golden butter, so solid and waxy that it
will command few cents extra on the
pound.


A Jersey COW costs less to keep than
common COW; if she produces heifer calf,
if grade, it is worth much more than the
butcher will give for scrub calf; if thor
cughbred, at five days old it is worth from
fifty to one hundred dollars. On large
farms, where the raising of cattle for beef
is the object, the Shorthorn is the COW
needed, but at small farms, on all farms
where the butter is made for market, the
Jersey COW is exactly what is or should
be necessity.

CARE OF DAIRY Cows.-Stock should
have good care now. Liberal feeding to
keep animals strong and thrifty and start
them in winter quarters in good condition
pays. If dairy COWS are well fed they can
be proftably MIXED for several weeks after
grass has failed. Cows which will not hold
out their milk for at least nine months of
the year are not worth keeping. One of
the most serious losses of large class of
dairymen is in the long season that their
COWS are dry. They keep them twelve
months and milk them only six or seven.
Give the COWS good feed and continue to
milk them regularly twice a day. Put
them in the stable at night and keep them
in through the day during the cold storms
of late fall and early winter. The first of
the winter is the most trying on farm an
imals. They should be protected with
liberal coating of flesh and good cOmforta-
BILE stables or sheds.
