The audience which attended the Matt
Morgan Novelty Company performance at
the Grand Opera House last evening was
marked, and we are glad that it was, by a
scarcity of ladies, and had the character of
the show been known, we are confident that
those who were there would not have been.
The subjects of the tableaux are all, we are
free to admit, well enough grounded, but
their presentation in the nearest approach
to nature is revolving to the senses of
delicacy, and the exhibition given last
night were not only violations of propriety,
but shocking to all chastity and modesty.
1t was not only dlscreditable to the manager,
who found New York too refined for It, but
the management of the Opera House was
unfortunate in having leased their place to
such an entertainment. OF one thiog the
troupe may rest assured, that they will
never have no incentive to come back here
again and in the name of decency we shall
protest against It.

 No community, state or nation can be prosperous which only produces the raw material and then hires some other to manu- fracture it. Let a man grow the wheat for ms bread, pay the freight to q New York mill to make into flour, and see if that would be profitable to him. The same is true of everything else. Only that community or section is prosperous which manufactures as we'll as produces raw material. The operatives in the factories being consumers, also give home  markets for products. If we can manufacture ali we need, the op- eratives will use here at home such of our products as they now consume away off somewhere else where we now have to ship this produce, and pay high freights on it to them.

When the annual produc- tion is being sold they flourish, but that is soon past, and they are compelled to buy and ship back the goods manufactured out of what they sold, and they have leanness in business.

 More particularly is this true of Arkansas to-day than of any other state in the union. It is true, because the state in it's new ness needs these manufactorics as another incentive to more rapid growth; true, because they would give employment to that class of our people who are not adapted to agriculture; true, because there are so many varieties Of products grown here that almost any fabric known can be made; true, because of our climate; true, because we have the best timber in the world, and as good coal as can be found anywhere Pennsylvania except ed; true, because of the splendid water powers, good, but cheap and idle; true again, because the many navigable rivers in the state make the different materials needed for the production of any one article easily accessible and easily brought together, and true, because there are no people in the world so anxious as our people to-day to have these things brought about and willing ly rcciDrocatc so far as in their power; and lastly it is true with us because it would give Us the money earned here among our own people, and that indcpend ence which every state located as we are should hayc.-Spirit of Arkansas.

Fayetteville Democrat: Judge Walker has imported a pair of very fine Cotswold sheep. The wool on the buck is between fir teen and twenty inches in length, and of very fire texture. We are glad to see that many of our far mers arc giving more attention to sheep raising-the improvement of the stock, &c. This country is unsurpassed for this business, be- ing we'll watered with streams of pure and running water, pure air and mild winters, and consequent ly not much danger of sheep being subject to disease.

One would think that the quarrying Of
stone would need no protection against
the paupcr industry OF Europe. 1t would
seem that the man who quarrles granite
in Minnesota on Vermont need not fear
that a Scotchmln will carry that bulky
article from the British islands and un-
dersell him in St. Paul or Boston. And
there isa heavy tariff on freestone
building stone, and stone in general. and
now over 100 petitioners have applied
to Congress to repeal it and they state in
their petition.


That the duty on freestone, building stone
and stone in general is an outrage; that it pre-
vents putting up substantial buildings and
forces {. tax out OF millions Of people Of the

But Emery should remember that beer
is alternative, laxative and diuretic. He
should try it. Anything that will alter

acid and acrid humours with which it is
now afflicted, would be benefit to the

by the cares which fell lupon him as the
leader of the Reform Party of Farming

saint, in the luminosity of his own coun-
tenancy did make j mistake in the
change, it is not too late now to correct
it, and we hereby give Emery AL order

court of this state affirmed the same doc
trine. And no party in Minnesota will
to-day, dare to avow the converse of
that proposition, as suggested by the
Pioneer-Press, that the people are bound
to submit to any expressions or eXac-
tions which the railroad companies may
choose to infiict without legal remedy.
Such doctrine is simplymonstrous and
horrible.


The determinations and cxtortions of
one Of the railroads Of Southern Mime
sofa in 1873 aroused our people to a state
of frenzy. and they passed laws affecting
all the railroads in the state; and then,
when il was claimed that these laws
worked oppressively in the case of Ger
tain roads that had given little cause for
complaint, they repealed them ia tpto.
But in doing SO they by no means aban>
doned the position they had assumed, and
which had been endorsed by the supre me
court OF the state, that the people in their
sovereign capacity had the right to con>
troll common carriers by just and equita-
BILE laws. And the popular uprising Of
1884 was salutary and necessary les
son to the railroad companies that while
generous people had no desire to tram
pie upon or destroy them, they would
not submit to see their own material
prosperity ruined by cruel exactiuns or
unfair determinations. The two par
ties to the contest have learned to mutu-
ally respect each other.


If we thought there was any esprit de
corps lett in the grangers of Minnesota,
any pride in their order or any sensibili-
ty to insult, we would call their atten-
ton to the promptness with which this
republican paper denounces them as
thieves and outlaws. and identifies them
with the pilferings and stealings of an
old politician of Wisconsin. But we are
we'll aware that with many Of them the
more savagely they are kicked by repub-
lican leaders the more cordially they
love the republican party and the more
persistently they vote its ticket.

See how completely cheap freights
depend on the opening of lake and river
navigation


The fact that it is only two hundred
miles from the head of Lake Superior to
the heart of Minnesota, and the further
fact that wheat can be carried from st.
Paul or Minneapolis to New York. via
the great Lakes for, just about what it
costs to carry it from St. Paul to Chicago,
is factor in the geographical problem
which is alone sufficient 10 determine the
future greatness and prosperity Of our
state. 1t follows, if wheat can be car
ried from 81 Paul or Minneapolis to New
York for 20 or 25 cts. per bushel. that
the price of wheat in Minnesota, during
the season of lake navigation, should
neverbe much more than 25 cents below
the New York price!


This fact enables buyers in our river
towns, and on the roads tributary to ST.
Paul and Minneapolis, to pay during the
winter months very nearly the Mi!wau-
kee price for wheat; because they know
that On the opening Of Lake Superior
they can command as much as the
the Milwaukee price for their purchases.


1t was the recognition of the great
commercial advantages which would
flow from railroad connection with Lake
Superior which induced US, while in Con-
gress, to work zealously to secure a
land grant for the Lake Superior Rail-
road Company. And the results have
justified our judgment.


1t is not too much to say that that road
has, directly and indirectly. added mil
lions of dollars annually to the wealth Of
Minnesota; tor it has compelled a re.
duction Of rates even on the roads lead
ing to Chicago and Milwaukee,


The farmers Of Minnesota should IN
derstand that their prosperity is identified
to great extent with that Of our lake
port, Duluth; and hence we objected
the other day when our delegation in
Congress procured an appropriation for
the protection of its harbor of only one
half the amount voted tor the improve.
mrnt of the upper Mississippi between
Minneapolis and st. Clond, work OF
not the slightest present Importance
Our whole people should understand
that the full use of that Lake harbor is
the very keystone ofthe arch Of our ag-
ricultural greatness.


What we have to fear is that the Lake
Michigan roads may some day buy up
the Mississippi and Lake Superior Rail
road, and thus deprive US Of the vast ad-
vantages which it now brings us. In
this view we would urge that the people
Of the sslie should consider the propriety
OF the state itself purchasing the road.
1t could be bought, doubtless, with state
bonds. without any outlay Of money, and
the interest on the bonds would moi
amount to one twentieth part the annual
increase in the price of wheat, to say
nothing OF tie decreased price OF our
bulkier imports.

A rich sensation is now in prog
ress at Cameron, Mo. A Mrs. Rob
inson, a grass widow, sues Mr..
Musser, a wealthy citizen, for rape.
Mrs. Robinson gave her testimony
on Wednesday. She says that she
has been teaching school two miles
from Cameron; that Musser, whose
wife is absent, has often taken her to
and from school in his buggy, some
times alone and sometimes his daugh-
ter with them. He had often tried
to put his arm around her, but she
resisted his advances. She further
states that on Friday evening he and
his daughter came for her as usual,
and, at the earnest solicitation of the
daughter, she stayed at his house
over night, he living opposite her
father. She slept on the front side
of the bed, and in the night she was
awakened by some person whisper
ing in her ear. She started up and
found it was Musser. He told her to
keep still, as it would make great
scandal if she made a noise. She
did not resist him, as she thought he
would not use force, and she trusted
in her own strength to resist his i'm
portunities. She says he then drew
her to the floor, and down the stairs,
and through the drawing room to
his own room, she showing no resis-
tance, as he kept saying an alarm
would create scandal. When his
room was reached she reasoned with
him, but all at once he put his hand
over her mouth, threw her down and
accomplished his purpose. She
is attractive and about "a years of
age. Mr.. Mussey is said to be worth
about 100000. Many are uncharita-
BILE enough to think Mrs. Robinson's
story is rather thin.

There is little love nowadays. 1t

who have sold their youths and

voyage from Europe she met the
man whom she made hcrtate-a man
who has almost reached the three
score and ten years of mans short
unsatisfactory life-a man well known
in the great marts of trade and in
the great centres of fashion. Twice
before had he tasted the sweets and
bitters of matrimony, but not until
this charmer came did he really
know what love was, he says. She
pets and cajoles the old gentlemen
and luxuriates in his fortune and his
princely home. From plain dresses
and plain life she swept into vel
vets and gems and possession; and
with this loveless heart and this gilt
tering life, is not woman of her
