If you are interested in this city and its future welfare do your best to push it to the front. % If you expect to participate in the primary election, you should read the rules governing same, to be found iu auother column of to days Akgus. J. F. Smith, of Texarkana, known all over the country as the inventor and proprietor of ‘•Smith’s Bile Beans,” committed suicide in St. Louis last Friday. An exchange truthfully remarks that‘‘ns a candidate for governor of Arkausas, Mr. Devil, running on a platform written by Roths child, is not proving very popular.” The probabilities are that Brink ley will have two Republican can didates for office, i. e. 11. H. Myers for Governor, and W. S. McCul lough for Congress, from this, the Gth District. It is perceptible to a blind man that tli© Democratic party of the North a la Cleveland, Russell et. al of that stripe, is about as differ ent from the Democratic party of the south and West as is the Re publican party. A bio celebration upon the com pletion of our electric light system would be the very thing and our people should take the matter in hand and arrange for same. Ijets see who will he the first enterpris ing parties to put it on foot. We beg to assure tl'• Gazette, Press and the Graphic of Little Hock and Pine Bluff tliuPwe are uuder distinguished obligations to them for their efforts in opposing Dau Jones. The more they do »o the more counties will instruct for the Silver Knight, Hon. Dan. W. •Jon*-' —Pine Bluff Commercial. J Struggle on to victory. Never i give up when you are right. A 1 frown is only a muscular contrac tion, and cannot last long. A laugh of derision is but the mod ified bark of a cur. If von can be laughed out of good, or the good laughed out of you, you are weak er in intellect than the fool, whose argument is a guffaw nud whose i logic is a sneer. -- - It is a bad policy to assist in building up a circulation for an obscure newspaper by entering into a controversy with it—espe cially when that paper is vicious enough to fight a religious denom ination.—Beardon Journal. You have hit the nail squarely on the head, Bro. Copes.—Camden Herald. We are glad the brethren think as we do. This noticing the snap ping of every little toothless cur of a paper is below the dignity of the profession. When ever a real paper of merit so far forgets itself as to allow notices of these “sewers” to creep into their columns, it then and there places itself entirely too close to the equal ity of the “sewer pipe journal” of ephemeral growth. People are very forgetful. They, have to think pretty hard to rem ember the vice-presidential candi* date the campaign back, and yet he was pretty well advertised at the time. It has been truly said that the time to advertise is all the time. In business there is no such thing as standing still. A business man must go forward or he will fall back. Even if you do gust as much business this year as you did last, some other fellow is doing more business and he is getting ahead of you. Each year’s effort should be to exceed last year’s sales. The only sure way to do it is to advertise. Advertise in busy times because the iron must be struck while it is hot, and advertise in dull times to he$t the iron,. It can be done. It is no wonder that the people ire through with such men as Carlisle, the janus-faced apostle jf the defunct duck hunter, Gro ver. If Carlisle could just blot jut his previous record on the money question perhaps he would at least have a sympathizer now. When he gets up to argue in favor of the “gold standard” and his Wall street bosses, this is the ghost that haunts him: “The consummation of such n scheme would ultimately entail more seriously upon the human race than all the wars, pestilences and famine that ever occurred in the history of the world. The ab solute and instantaneous destruc tion of half the movable property, of the world, including horses, ships, railroads and all other ap pliances for carrying on com merce, while it would be felt more sensitively at the moment, would not produce anything like the prolonged distress and disorgan ization of society that must inev itably result from the permanent annihilation of one-half of the metallic ,money of the world. John G. Carlisle. “February 21, 1878.’ THESE FACTS ARE KNO ITS. As an attorney Dan. W. Jones like any other lawyer is depend ent upon his profession for a living aud lawyers will therefore engage in almost any ease where they are ! employed. So as an attorney Dan W. Jones took eases for railroads but this does not imply that when | lie shall be governor, which he will be, that he will still continue | to practice law for railroads. Iu ; fact a lawyer is prohibited to prac-1 tice wheu he becomes governor, ‘ As governor Dan W. Jones will he [ the chief executive of all the peo-1 pie in Arkansas and as such will do his full duty as a sworn official. Garland and Fishbaek were both railroad attorneys beforo they be came governors, hut alter they qualified, respectively, nobody ever dreamed of charging either with being either for or against [railroads. They simply did their duties as their oaths enjoined.— i Pine Bluff Commercial. Thk facts as above stated are well known by every one of the campaign Bars. The people know them too and the dirty war the Helena World and its ilk are waging on Dan W. Jones is result ing in the people becoming dis gusted with sue h foul methods, as is evidenced by the tremendous majorities Jones is piliug up, Mimii iim * are home rule, states’ ri; est money consisting of l and silver, coined at a ratio o to 1, and paper redeemable coin, and a tariff for revenue © Now, is there a democrat in ftll land that would tolerate for ment a declaration by a de national convention in op to home rale!

That is all. And he is righ xbout it, and will be sustained b; the democracy of Arkansas.—Cam den Herald. [The above, by Senator Morton editor of the Herald, and one o) the best true and tried democrat) in the South, is an able and eleail definition of democracy, and every man in Arkansas who is a dexnoj crat from principle should read it.] Primary Regulations. At a meeting of the Democratic Central Committee, held on April 13th, the following proceedings were had: Resolved, 1, That Saturday, May 30, 1890, be, and is hereby, sot a part and designated as the time for holding a primary election at the usual voting places m the sev eral townships of Monroe county for the purpose of nominating one United Stats senator, one State senator for the 13th district, one representative, one county judge, one circuit clerk, one county clerk, one sheriff, one treasurer, one as sessor, one surveyor, one coroner, and two justices of the peace and one constable for each of the sev eral townships.
