OBEYING THE LAw.-Radicalp papers have
had very much to say about the duty of sus-
tanning the President chosen in accordance
with the requirements of law. They admit
ted that on the popular vote Tildeu had
the majority, but when it came to counting
in ~ electors they could double discount the
democrats, and hence it became the latter to
submit. 1t tnrns out that the letter OF the
law makes in favor of the democrats. and 1t
will be for the radicals to practice the virtue
of humbly bowling TO the DEGREES of fate.

has bought what is known as the "Plueke,
property" at the corner of Alder and Frs,
streets, and is fitting up the main building
ior the purpose of private hospital. The
rooms for the patients will be large and airv.
and Will be furnished neatly. They will also
be provided with all the couvenienees so ne.
cessary to the sick and afflicted. The sick
who may come here from abroad will be
taken and cared for in the tenderest manner.
All their wants will be provided for, and
they will have all the comforts of home. The
hospital regime will include daily baths, and
the diet will be strictly in accordance with
the condition Of the patient Everything of.
fensive to the eye will be avoided, and an air
of comfort and cleanliness thrown around
the Institution that will itself 20 very far to-
ward etfecting cure. The charges for the
use OF rooms, board, baths, medical attention,
etc., will range from Si5 to $40 week-the
latter figure for patients who are entirely
helpless. We are glad that ply sician so
entirely competent as DR.. Bingham has en-
gagged in this enterprise, and trust that be
may be abundantly rewarded. Sick people
are constantly coming here from all parts of
the interior, and owsng to the lack of suit
able accommodations they risk the fatigues
and exposure incident to a journey to the
lower country. This want will now be sup
piled. and with the opening of DR.. Bingham's
hospital the sick and afflicted will be assured
of all the care and attention that can be
found in older and more settled communities.
The hospital will be open in about ten days
from date when patients will be received in
the order of fbeir application.

A young contractor in one of the
large Springfield manufactures, in
company with his wife, q sad looking
little woman in threadbare clothing,
entered one of the town meat markets
one recent Saturday evening, and, after
gazing around for moment, the man
ordered soup bone for Sunday. While
it was being wrapped up, spruce look
ing young man, with a massive gold
watch chain. attired in suit cut in the
latest fashion and $50 overcoat, entered,
and pompously ordered four pounds Of
sirloin steak nt twenty-five cents per
pound. The little woman looked visit
fully at the tender, juicy steak as it was
being cut off, and then at the bone which
was to furnish her dinner the next day,
and, turning to her husband, said !:
George, why can't we have as good
meat as that man he works under you
at the shop2" "I know it, Jenny" re-
piled the contractor, drawing himself up
to his full height, "but he's only poor
bench workman and I'm boss, and it's
worth something to boss, you know" "
"Y-e-s," said the wife with a sigh,
which said plainly that she would much
rather be a poor workman's wife and
eat sirlion steak than the wife of a
"boss" and live on soup.

Mr.. Beecher read parts OF the 37th psalm
yesterday morning: Fret not thyself because
OF evil doers neither be thou envious against
the workers Of iniquity. For they shall soon be
cut down like the grass, and wther as the green

believe that In the life TO come there will be
solutions Of mysteries, and that JOY will rub out
the memory Of the rude days OF this existence.


Preceding the sermon, IN which he did not re-
fer to the scandal, Mr. Beecher said that on
Wednesday evening there Will DO business

therefore no matter Of surprise that the
human nervous system is no exception to
the law The higher salubrity Of rural
over urban life is not a mnttcr of fresh
air and exercise. Rural life involves
leisure and pause in work, which are
very essential to the maintenance OF the
nervous system in a state OF due nutr.
tion. Unremtting spasms soon ceases
altogether. The tension Of lite produces
weakness at the very place where
strength is most needed. The damage
done to the health Of the most valuable
part Of the community, the best trained
thinkers, most useful workers, is incal
c"Iable. Work and worry, though not
proportional, are closely connected. and
an excess of the former soon entails an
increase in the latter beyond the limits
which the nervous system can bare with

We this week nail to our mast head and exhibit to the voters of Pope county, the ticket selected by the Democrats of Arkansas. The selection has been made by a con vention which is conceded to have been the largest, fullest, and most able which has met in Arkansas for many years. Whatever may have been our own personal choice, or whatever may have been the choice of the people of our county, we now have before us the choice of the whole Democratic party of Arkan- sas, and we cheerfully yield and acquiesce. And we also cheerfully and heartily commend the ticket at our mast head to the entire people of Arkansas as one in every respect worthy of their confidence and sup port. We believe the action of the . convention will give entire satisfac- tion, and we believe that the officers named on the ticket will conduct the state government in the interests of the people, and secure to us q continuance of that peace, prosperi- ty good feeling which we have en- ioyed under the present administra- tion. The action of the convention was harmonious and pleasant, al- most beyond any precedent that we have had in other like bodies, and we bespeak for the delegates an en- dorsement of their action by an overwhelmning victory for their ticket at the polls next September.

 Of the presidential electors chosen by the convention, we justly feel proud and we know that in them the Democratic party has able ad- yorates and true friends. Taken altogether we think the convention did well and we are not afraid to submit the question to the voters of the State of Arkansas.

The State ticket now before the people of Arkansas is an excellent one, and so far as the matter of oili- cers for the next two years concerns us, we certainly will have good administration. But it must be borne in mind that there is another branch of our state government the Legislature--which must be looked after. Without a legislature which will cooperate with, and as sist the executive department of the state in the struggle for the state $ advancement, that department-the Executive-will necessarily be com paratiyely powerless and inefficient. The usefulness of the executive de- partment is greatly curtailed if the legislature is weak or hostile to the efforts of the executive for the states good. We particularly need an able legislature next session, one which will know just what to do, and how to do it. We trust that the voters of each and every county will send members there who are competent to do something for the state when they get into the legisla- tive halls. Every county will need man in the next legislature who is capable of drawing up a wholesome, plain bill, who is able to enter into the discussion of any measure which may come up, and who knows just what to say and when to say it.. We warn the people of the differ ent counties to send no drones, no incompetent, illiterate men to the next general assembly. Send men who will be prepared to grasp and grapple with any question which may be sprung.

The following occurrence to which my
friend was an eyewitness will illustrate
the prevailing tone of German men to
women as women A young girl entered
a street car in one of the best streets in
Berlin. The car had its usual compile
ment of eighteen people, ten men and
eight women. She quietly took her
standing position. A man near her,
slapping his hand on his knee, said:
"See here, Fraulein, you may sit here. -
She drew near the ladies present and
said not word. This he repeated twice,
with some other insulting words, until
the poor girl trembled and crimsoned
with shame. A married lady sitting
near with her daughter, rose to her feet,
end said: els there not man In this
car gentleman enough to protect this
young girl from the insult of this man,
who has not only insulted her but every
lady in the car 2" Profound silence.
"Then will see what I can dc" and
forcing open the car door, she called the
conductor, and stating the case, asked
to have the man put out. With the
usual feeling that woman's opinion is
not worth anything, the conductor
turned to the man for an answer, and
some said "Oh, it is not bad enough
for that" When the lady insisted, one
single man at the other end of the car
rose, and said: "The lady is right !;
the fellow should be put out" Iregret
to say for the last ten years l have not
lived in Germany, and I return to my
native land to blush over the rude, i'll
manners of my countrymen. The fel.
low was silenced, but the conductor had
not the moral courage to put him out.
The lady reported the conductor to the
authorities. Whether he will be repri-
manded or not remains to be seen. Now
I do not believe there was single man
in that car who would not have resented
the insult had the girl been relation,
or even an acquaintance, for as such 1t
would have touched his honor, but as
simply woman he acted on the prin'
ciple every one must look out for him
self. Such is the chivalrous attention OF
Germans to women. Berlin Correspo1a-
