The democratic party does not
need re-organiznig but re uniting.
William R. Hears!, of Mew
York, could come nearer re-unit
ing the democratic party than any
man who has yet been mentioned
as a democratic presidential can
didate, _
The Monroe County Sun seems
to think that Governor Davis is
in realty a populist, and classes
him with such men as sockless
Jerry Simpson, Coxoy and others
of that ilk.
The Shin p County Record
thinks that Ned Carmack, of
Tennessee, is worth a carload of
Tom Johnsons. Well, it would,
indeed, be a very ordinary cess
that wasn’t worth as much, in a
political way, as Tom Johnson.
Bryan's Commoner says “Some
of the gentlemen who strenuous
ly insisted upon the Panama route
manage to assume <juite an air of
surprise and indignation when
they think of the obstacles that
have arisen.” Of course that has!
no reference to Senator .Jones?
It seems rather odd for the
democratic party to seek counsel
from Grover Cleveland. Never
theless Uncle Grover don't hesi
tate to give advice, but it sounds [
tunny (?) to hear him say “The
history of the party abundantly
shows that it is only departure
from principle and yielding to
temptations of expediency that
have brought disaster,”

Congress convenes next Mon

ive may expect to see a general

can air guns in order to escape
complete anihilation.
Of course. if the JSliarp County
Record prefers to think that typo
graphical errors are slang, and
wants to criticise The Journal for
using slang, all right ; hut it seems
to us that if a newspaper spells
the word “polls" p o 1 c-s it's
‘ither a typographical error or
ignorance. Rut. by the way. how
s this sentence, from the Record,
for slang? "We offer two to one
hut he don’t do no such a thing.”
Will the distingushed editor of
aur esteemed contemporary please
nfortn us if that is a typographi
cal error, slang or good English?
HIE STATE CONVICT FARM.
Governor Davis is much dis
pleased at the action of the peni
tentiary boaid in buying the Cum
mings plantation for use as a state
[convict farm and says that lie will
do all in his power to have the
legislature cancel the eontiact.
lie claims that the state has paid
three times the worth of the pro
perty and says that the place is
very undeisirahle for a state con
vict farm. All the other members
>f the hoard are highly pleased
with the purchase and Secretary
ut State John \V. Crockett says
he thinks the farm very satisfac
tory in everv respect and says
they got.it $60,000 cheaper than
its actual value. In fact all the
members of the hoard, except
Governor Davis, speak in praise
of the deal and seem to think the
.-late has procured a very desir
able farm.
Whether there are grounds for
complaint at the action of the
hoard or whether Governor Davis
is only making a grand stand pla\
for some cheap notoriety will lie
made known when the matter is
taken up by the legislature. At
any rate, the other members of
the board are men of equally as
good judgment as Governor
Davis and their integrity, and
loyalty to the state, cannot be
questioned. In fact, Attorney
ieneial Muiphy ha.- proven to tie
:'ur superior in bis present oliieial
capacity to Governor Davis, when
the latter occupied the position
now held by Mr. Murphy. View
ed from a perfectly impartial
point of view, we can only believe
■ that the governor has in reality
only treed a mouse instead of
having ran a hear into a hole.
THE SIDEWALK PROBLEM.
The Journal takes pleasure in
j indorsing the aitielefrom lion.
1 S. A. Moore, published in today’s
| paper. lit! deals with the side
walk problem in a practical man
ner, and, in fact, presents the
best solution of the question that
we have yet heart) of. He gives
a plain statement of the case and
his communication contains some
facts that cannot he disputed.
The absence of sidewalks is a
serious draw back to any town and
if Newark expects to continue to
advance and prosper in the future
as in the past she must meet the
problem, fairly and squarely, and
overcome this obstacle that will
continue to lie a stumbling stone
to the progress of the town. We
hope that Mr. Moore will further
push this matter by calculating
a paper among the property own
ers calling for subscript ions to t he
fund and petitioning the council
to appropriate a similar fund to
lie used in the building of side
walks. Then the proper authori
ties can proceed with the work
and we feel safe in saying that
not a man who contributes to this
cause w ill ever regret having done
so.

Hon. S. A. Moore Presents Some f
Facts Regarding the Side
Walk Problem.
Mr. Editor It was my pleas
ure to locate m your thriving and
energetic little city a little less
than three months ago. In the
past year 1 have visited a number
of towns throughout the state but
without an exception, I feel safe
I m saving that this town has a fu
ture excelled by none with but
one or two exceptions; and 1
j shall briefly ‘peak of one, and
that is sidewalks.
1 have observed everything very
closely and 1 can see no reason
why we should not have as good
walks as any other town of the
same size in the state, for the
revenue is as great, or at least it
should be, as in any other of its
size. Considering its location and
natural advantages, it is, unques
tionably, one of the coming towns
of Northeast Arkansas, and will,
in n:y humble judgment, make a
town of 2,000 or 3,000 inhabitants,
piovided the citizens will become
thoroughly convinced that to suc
ceed in any worthy and laudable
undertaking they must unite,
work in harmony and use every
effort possible; and when they
have done this success is assur
ed.
It goes witliout saying that we
are in need of more walks, and to
undertake it is like all other val
uable and necessary undertakings
worthy of consideration, hence
the citizens must make the pro
per effort. It is in our power and i
it is in our hands, will we do it ?
While I, at present, do not own
a dollar's worth of real estate in
the town, however, 1 am a citizen
of the town, and expect to make
it ry future home, and to show!
to you that the remarks which 1
make are not idle words, 1 will be
one of twenty ctizens to donate j
$10 to build and erect sidewalks j
in the town ; provided the town !
council will appropi hue $200 for j
the same purpose. 1 his will give,
us $400 for building and erecting
sidewall,-s, which, in my opinion,;
would be money expended that
we would never regret. Besides,
that it will be an improveinen‘
that is very badly needed, no one
will dispute.
I have had the pleasure of con
vet sing with several visitors late
ly, relative to our town, and they
have all. unhesitatingly, spoke
very highly of it, with the excep
tion of the sidewalks—they hav
ing noticed our deficiency along
tins line A thing that is visible I
to the eve of a stranger surely!
should be str-kingl.v visiole to 'In
eye of tlie cuizens of the town.
The town is well up and mov
ing along nicely in all other lines,
why not awaken to a realization
of this momentus necessity V
Respectfully,
8. A. Moore.
LOCAL GATHERINGS.
This is line hog-killin' weather.
It was reported on the street
yesterday that the government
dam on White river at Batesvillej
was washed out by the heavy rise
in the river.
According to current reports the
women of Colorado have demon
strated their fitness for all political
privileges by attending the elec
tion and voting at every place
where they found the polls open
and a number of them are now in
jail for “repeating,’’ just like men
do.
.1. L. Martin, of Batesville, who
has been in Denver, Colorado, for
the benefit of his health, passed
through the city Monday, on route
home on a special car. He was ac
companied by his step-father, John
M. Cook, who has given up all
hope of his recovery. The sick
man is a son of "Babe" Martin,
who was at one time one of flack
son county's largest planters and
best business men. Newport Her

IMBALL
The Triumph of Economy as Well
as of Art.
♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦
This combination is the cause, and the important cause, of
the wonderful popularity of the Kimball Pianos and Organs.
35.000 per year are not sufficient to supply the demand, as
the Kimball Company is several thousand orders behind in
shipments and is planning further large additions to “The
Greatest Factory in existence.”
What else could create the prodigious growth which “The
Kimball” has attained, than that the instruments are the acme
of perfection and in the cost, to manufacture and to sell are a
triumph of economy not possible to competition. 1 he incon
sistency of prejudice and carping criticism must make way for
well-earned repulatiod and such advancing progress.
We solicit injuries of all kinds concerning Pianos and Organs
their prices, terms of payment or otherwise. We will promptly
and satisfactorily serve every requirement.
