FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1903.
The legislature has only 18 more
working days before it.
The editor w as not a candidate
for recorder and the vote given
him was purely complimentary.
Up to the present time there has
been 123 acts added to the statutes
of the state by the present gener
al assembly.
The bill creating the Newark
Special school district and empow
ering it to borrow money to erect
a school building 1ms become a law
without the governor's signature.
f William R. Hearst, of New
York, can come nearer carrying
New York as a presidential candi
date than any man in the demo
cratic party. Besides, lie is as
sured of the hearty support of
Bryan, without which no demo
crat can hope to he elected.
The question of deciding upon a
leader for the democratic party in
the next campaign seems to be
agitating some of our bretheren of
the press. The Journal still holds
to the opinion expressed some time
ago, that William R. Hearst, of
New York, is the strongest man in
the party._

Little Rock, whiell gave Governor
Davis a black eye some months

McNemer to trial for an alleged
attempt to bribe the legislature

$000 ought to lie turned out of the

Our friend Coger, of the Sharp
County Record, refers to the edi
torial page of this sheet as the
most decent spot in the paper,
lint, as this is the first time he lias
ever been guilty of speaking a
kind wprd of The Journal, we take
it for granted that Brother Coger
had been imbibing too freely of
that famous mountain dew that
“grows” just a short distance from
the log cabin in which the Record
is printed.
have noticed a good deal of
comment in the metropolitan press
in regard to the Little Rock ne
gro, Wm. Pickens, who recently
won an oration prize at Yale, but
we see nothing extraordinary about
this. There was no white contest
ant for the prize, and, as a matter
of fact, somebody had to win.
This is like the school boy who
stood at the head of hi- class all
the time; there was no one else in
the class and. of course, he had to
stand at the head.
TI1K Ml'SSKL HILLS.
The mussel bills introduced in
the legislature have Wen thorough
ly discussed b.v the people in this
section and as a great many of
them are interested in the industry
we quote the following from a let
ter from Representative Mathen,\
to Hon. F. M. Martin in regard
to the bills, and we can add that
the people in tftis community in
dorse Mr. Matheny's position in
regard to this matter.
‘The first bill prohibited throw
ing mussels back into the river,
prohibited hunting through April,
May and dune and prohibited the
use of crowsfeet or dredge boats
at all times. The second makes
the closed season January, Febru
ary and March and allows the use
of all tools in waters over seven
feet deep, but prohibits the crows
feet and dredge in shallow water.
The second is about the same as
no bill at all. and that is my reason
for supporting it. W o have pass
ed it through the house and 1
think it will pass the senate.”
POOR OLD ARKANSAS!
That disgraceful episode which
occurred at Little Rook last week
between Congressman Hrundidge
and Senator Clarke only tends to
further humiliate the good name
of the state, and further empha
sizes the statement, made by The
Journal some time ago to the effect
that Arkansas is ruled by a set of
unscrupulous rascals who are un
fit to preside over a mangy dog
tight.
ror tIn* past four or live years
the good name of the state has
been dragged through the slime of
dishonor by the men occupying the
highest positions within the gift
of the people; the very men who
should do most to raise, instead of
lower, the reputation of Arkansas,
and who are sworn to uphold the
honor and dignity of the state.
Such disgraceful occurrences
brings a blush of shame to the
face of every decent citizen of the
state, and makes us feel that Ar
kansas, the pearl of the I’nion and
the brightest star in the galaxy of
states, is retrograding instead of
progressing.
And when we analyze the cause
of this shameful occurrence and
bring the affair down to actual
facts, it is plainly apparent that
the trouble was brought about
solely by that bull headed, rule-or
ruin, big-l-and-little-you disposi
tion so boldly maintained by our
state officials.
1'oor old Arkansas! Just as she
was emerging from the darkness,
and had about lived down the un
deserved hard name she had meek
ly and innocently worn for years
and years and was approaching
the broad plain of peace and pros
perity, and had proven herself
worthy of respect and confidence
from the best citizens of the nation
and was attracting the attention of
the world by reason of her vast
wealth of undeveloped resources,
she is seized uikui by a set of un
scrupulous, unprincipled and dis
honest nien whose chief ambition
is to rule or ruin, and who, like
Samson l>f old, would rather pull
down thtbentire temple and perish
beneath it's ruins than permit any
one else to Wiare in the honors of
rightfully administering the gov
ernment, or even having or ex
pressing an honest opinion on
public affairs.
Poor old Arkansas!
, In a Bad Way.
Some of our exchanges are dis
posed to criticise the present legis
lature, through force of habit prob
ably. I he present general assem
bly is above the average, and an
indication of this is the fact that it
has passed every bill vetoed by the
governor over the governor’s veto,
•left will list1 this on the stump to
gull the dear people with, but the
man who can longer be gulled by
Jeff Davis ought to be taken out
behind the barn and bored for the
simples. Clarendon Sun.
Merbine Cures
Fever and ague. A dose will
usually stop a chill, a continuance
always cures. Mrs.Wni. m. Stroud
of Midlothian Texas, May 31, ISM
writes, "We have used Ilerbinein
our family 8 years and have found
it the best medicine we ever used
for la grippe, bilions fever and

The State Uuard. \
The war department haggotittied
Adjutant General JaeV it'iliaf
f
;m officer of 1!k' army will inspect
each company of the Arkansas
State (iuard some time during the
present month and our citizen
soldiers should brush up their
uniforms, burnish their arms and1
account foments and make a good
showing. This inspection will be
preliminary to the department
giving to the Arkansas State
(iuard £74,000 in consideration of
the guard complying with the pro-;
visions of the new malitia law. In
order that this may be done the
legislature has passed a bill appro
priating $<>,520 for the re-organi
zation of the malitia. There is no
reason why the the organization
should not In* brought to such a
state of efficiency that it would be
ready to march to the front if a
call should come. Iiut even in
times of perfect peace a well-drill
ed and enthusiastic company of
citizen soldiers is something for
any town to feel proud of. We
hope that the local company will
brighten up a little and he prepar
ed to make a good showing when
the inspecter general comes around.
Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident is narrated
by John ( Hiver, of Philadelphia, as
follows: "1 was in an awful condi
tion. My skin was almost yellow,
eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain
continually in hack and sides, no
appetite, growing weaker day by
day. Three physicians had given
me up. Then I was advised to use
Electric Hitters; to my great joy
the first bottle made a decided im
provement. I continued their use
for throe weeks and am now a well
man. I know the.\ robbed the
grave of another victim.” N<> one

On the first day of April Presi
dent Roosevelt started on a sist.v
six day trip through the West, dur
ing which he will travel nearly
15,(KM* miles, lie will meet with
many factions of his party and
will have a difficult task to recon
cile all he meets and avoid giving
ollonso. Many of the older mem
bers of his party expressed relief
when his trip of a year ago came
to a sudden end at Indianapolis,
and .sonic of them now regard his
long expedition as a dangerous ex
periment, hut if he gives serious
offense and robs himself of some
votes in the national convention,
some of the prominent members
of his party will shed no tears.
A (ireat Sensation.
There was a big sensation in
Leesville, lnd.,when \V. 11. Brown
of that place, who was expected to
die, had his life saved by Dr.
King's New Discovery for Con
sumption. He writes, “I endured
insufferable agonies from asthma
but your New Discovery gave me
immediate relief and soon effected
a complete cure. Similar cures of
consumption, pneumonia, bronchi
tis and grip are numerous. Its the !

The only kind of consump
tion to fear is “ neglected
consumption.”
People are learning that con
sumption is a curable disease.
It is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
Scott’s Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of Scott’s Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where Scott's Emul-j
sion is.
Prompt use of Scott’s Emul-1
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.
