Treasury Secretary Gage reports
our war expenses this year to be
1137849.18 more than they were
last year. They were then $91-

likely to continue for a long time.—

At Palestine Texas on the 23rd
inst. jury brought in a verdict of
guilty of murder in the first degree
against Ed Cain one of the six or
seven men charged with mobbing
the Humphries. This argues well
for Texas —let law and good order
prevail.
Some anonymous writer has apt-
ly said: “There is always something
sweet to look upon and something
bright to look forward to; present
griefs and troubles will not last
long. Yes a wise Creator has so
ordained that man can anticipate
something good and forget vast
troubles.
The state should own a large farm
of not less than two thousand aci es
on which the state prison should be
located and the convicts put to
work raising supplies in order to
make the institution as nearly self-
supporting a* possible. It might
be possible to make the institution
yield a profit to the state as the
farms of the Texas state prisons do.
We commend the above from a
contemporary—do not remember
which one. But if such purchase is
to be made it should be done se-
cretly else some leg pulling and fa-
voritism will result.
With cotton selling at a price
that makes some profit in its grow-
ing the average farmer will be
prone to increase bis acreage of
this staple another season. It is a
hard temptation to resist and lots
of them will not resist but the
providence theory of being all well
any how willwome nearer being ex-
emplified in the man who raises as
near as he can all his necessities at
home and have to spare to sell to
his neighbors who did not.—Ex.
No man can work with a. torpid
liver or constipated bowels. A few
doses of Prickly Ash Bitters will
quickly remove this condition and
make work a pleasure. Sold by all

Some six months ag > the state
debt board in compliance with an I
act of the legislature issued a call
for all outstanding indebtedness to
the end that scrips bonds etc
might be reissued and properly
scheduled. Up to date only a few
thousand dollars in state scrip have
been sent in for reissuance not-
withstanding the bowks of the stat
treasury show over $200000 out
standing. The time for reissuanc<
has about expired and it is clearly
apparent that the state will be th-
gainer some $200000 in this iten
alone as shown from the books —
Arkansas Democrat.
We are opposed to polygamy in
all its forms but one of the mos‘
pitiful scenes ever witnessed in a
legislative body occurred in the na-
tional house of representatives when
Representative-elect Roberts of
Utah was refused the seat to which
he was lawfully elected. Public
clamor caused members to vote
against all law and all precedent
and in abject submission they set a
precedent which they know can be
used hereafter lor purposes most
dangerous to the liberties of the
people and the rights of the states.
The proper thing would have been
to allow Roberts to take bis seat
coming as he did with his certifi
cate of election properly filled out
and signed by the only power au-
thorized to do so and then proceed
to investigate the charges.—Cam-
den Herald
One of the best ways on earth to
kill buriness is to wear a long face
and at every opportunity tell your
costomers friends and competitors
how fearfully dull it is and how bad
vour business is as compared with
last year. “Nothing succeees like
success.” The people like to deal
with a successful man. His place
of business is always cheerful. If
he nas not sold a cent’s worth of
goods all day you would never knew
it by his action or his conversation.
There is a push a snap and a vim
about him and his store that in-
spires you with the idea that he is
doing well whether he is or not.
Many a business that looked as if it
must go into the hands of the sher-
iff has been pulled from the fire aid
made a success just by the nerve
push and persistency of the man be-
hind it who would not even admit
defeat when it almost stared him
in the face.
A PERFECT LIFE PRESERVER.
After thousands of lives have
been sacrificed an apparatus is
brought forward and which after
having been tested is pronounced
perfect. It is impossible to sink it
it weighs only four pounds and con-
tains food and water for five days
It resulted from a horrible ship-
wreck experienced by its inventor;
no discovery of great benefit to hu-
manity seems possible without
great loss of life. Take Hostetter’s
Stomach Bitters as another instance
Before its advent fifty years ago
people died from dyspepsia. Weak
stomachs and liver disease were ter-
rors until Hostetter's Stomach Bit-
ters proved its power to cure them.
If your stomach bothers you try it
and see that a private Revenue
Stamp covers the neck of the bot-
tle.
Milk Dairy.
Mr. Taylor having left our em-
ployment we feel called upon to
let our customers know that our
milk wagon is still on the route and

it all of the old customers to stay

we can get. Our milk is from
healthy cattle and the dairy is kept
clean.

SENATOR BERRY’S CANDIDACY.
Senator Jas. H. Berry has issued
an address to the people of Arkan-1
sas announcing his candidacy for I
re-election as United States Sen-
ator. The Texarkanian as his
friend and hearty supporter takes
pleasure in giving the salient points j
of his address showing his position I
on the leading issues of the day as
follows:
He has always favored the free
coinage of both silver and gold at
the ratio «f sixteen to one—in favor
of re-affirming the Chicago plat-
form.
Unalterably opposed to all trusts
and combinations of wealth banded
together for the control of prices
of products and in favor of legis-
lation both by states and general
government that will utterly crush
and destroy them.
Favor electing United States
Senators by direct vote of the peo-
ple.
Favor a tariff for revenue only.
Opposed to ship subsidy bill and
all subsidies.
Opposed to Imperialism expan-
si n and to a large standing army;
opposed to acquiring either by
conqpest or purchase territory in
the Eastern Hemisphere. “If we
seek to hold permanently and
to govern the Philippine islands we
must either govern them as colonies
or incorporate them into the Uni-
ted States as a territory or state
and make the inhabitants thereof
citizens of the United States en
titled to all the rights and privileges
of American citizens. To govern
them as colonies is contray to the
constitution of the United States
and the declaration of independ-
ence and will require for all time to
come a large standing army. On
the other hand to bring the in-
habitants in as inhabitants or as
citizens would be to add to our
population 100(0000 differing in
race and color unused to our ways
and methods of life and living
10000 miles from our capital and
would also bring them in direct
competition with our laboring peo-
ple and this would as I conceive be
not only an act of folly but a crime
against #ur own people. For these
reasons I think we should deal with
the people of the Philippine islands
precisely as we have promised to
deal with the people of Cuba. I can
see no reason why we should give
the people of Cuba a free and in-
dependent government and at the
same time hold the people ot the
Philippine islands in subjection by
military force and inflict upon them
the same curse of carpet bag gov-
ernment that the people of the
Southern States endured immedi-
ately after the close of the civil
war.”

Our “old” and “venerable" friend
J F. Floyd having been missed
from his usual haunts on the streets
and in his office since last Friday
the city editor telephoned for his
venerable friend to stop by and
take nog with him and he tele-
phoned back that he could not
leave home on account of having a
bow-legged billy goat at his house
he had to attend to. " We have
since learned that a little stranger
arrived to gladdei the home of our
friend. We wish to say to our
friend if he feels that any congrat-
ulations are coming to him we
waft ours in huge chunks. May
the little billy grow to be a frisky
kid—one that will gladden the
heart of his papa in his declining
old age.

A woman in a St. Louis depart-
ment store lost her infant babe
and had the clerks all looking for
it for an hour besides the police.
After worrying awhile she told the
police where she lived and instruct
ed them to forward the baby to
that address if it should turn-up.
After the day's business was over
and the great store was being clos-
ed the janitor found the baby in a
big wash basket where she had de-
posited it. It was restored to the
mother.

REVENUE STAMPS.
New Regulations Regarding Their
Cancellation.
The new regulations regarding
the cancellation of internal revenue
stamps became effective on the 15th
i instant and in order to avoid un-
pleasant complications with Uncle
Sam the users of the stamps will in
future have to exercise more care
in cancelling. Under the new rule
as announced by the commissioner
of internal revenue in •al) cases
where documentary stamps of the
denomination of 10 cents or any
large denomination shou'd be used
the person using or affixing the
same shall in addition to writing or
stamping thereon with ink the
initials of his name and the date
when affixed mutilate the stamp
by cutting three parallel incision
' lengthwise through the stamp be-
ginning not more than one-fourth
of an inch from one end and extend-
ing to within one-fourth of an inch
of the other. Such mutilation will
render the methods of using ink
heretofore used unnecessary.
