Fort Gaines Guards was held. In the court
house Saturday forenoon, by order of the
Governor, for the purpose of holding a

Syrae time since West Gordon, a negro
who lived a quarrelsome life with his wife,
came to the conclusion that she did not
care anything for him. Therefore he de
cided he would test her faithfulness. In
Imitation of the white roan, he secured a
plow line, which he fastened around his
neck. Seeing it did not wring her heart
strings to any great extent, he went out
near the house and pulled down aatout
sapling, to which he tied the rope.
West said, in answer to a oue-tUon
from our reporter: “Boss, I had no

The History of the two Parties as to Pro
hibition.
As prohibition is expect 3d to largely enter
the pending Presidential contest as an ac
tive element, we re-prodnee the following
history of the two parties in connection
With this subject:
Secretary McPherson, of the congres
sional committee, hn* prepared tbe follow
ing synopsis of the hhtory of the two par
ties ou the alcoholic liquor traffic, which
may help to correct mauy errors of state
ment in the existing campaign. The pa
per is addressed t j 8, V. It Hayes, of Big
Rapids, Mich., in answer to a letter of in
quiry: “The question of .legislation on
the ulcoholic liquor traffic has come up in
various forms in Congress within the past
ten years, but it was not unt l the Forty-
seventh Congress that the cr< a' ion of a com
mission to examine into the subject iu al. Its
hearings came* to the surface. In that
Congrtssin the wint rof 183l-‘82, it catue
to the front. Mr. Conger offered in the
Seuatc on the 17th of January, 1882, a bill
for the appointment of suven persons, to
act not longer than two year*, to investi
gate tho alcoholic liquor traffic, its rela
tions to revenue and taxation, its gentr-
al, economic, criminal, moral and scien
tific aspects in connection with pauperism,
Crime, social vice, public health, and the
general welfare of the people, and also to
inquire and takfitestimony as to the prac
tical results of license, aiyl prohibitory,
legislation for the prevention of iutemper-
aucC in the several States of the Uuiun,
the expeiyies, not exceeding $10.000,were to
be paid out of tbe treasury, but the com-
n issioners were to terve without salary.
The report of the commission was to be
transmitted to Congress by the President
within eighteen months after the passage
of this act. The matter came up for ac
tion on the 8th of March, when Mr. Bay
ard, of Delaware, made an unfriendly mo
tion to refer the bill to the
committee on finance. That motion
was defeated—yeas, 19; nays 20. The
affirmative vote was solidly Democratic,
except one. The negative vote was solid
ly Republican, except one. Mr. Bayard
then moved to extend their jurisdiction
over the subject of opium and other *ub-
stituUs for alcoholic sti uulants, and to in
quire whether prohibition of the use of
alcoholic beverages has been accompanied
by an increase or consumption of opium
and other ictoxicating drug*. This was
voted down—yeas, 24; nays, 25. The af
firmative vote was solidly Democratic,
except .Mr. Cameron, of Wisconsin, Re-
’ublican, and Judge Davis, of Illinois,
-••dependent. The uegative vote of 25 was
solidly Republican. The bill then passed
—vean, 34; nays, 15. But Oof tbe 34 yeas
were Demociatic as all of tbe 14 nays were
Democrats, save one. While the bill lay
on 1 he Speaker’s table in the House, Mr.
Diugley, of Maine, made repeated efforts
to take it up for reference or action, but
that required unanimous consent, and
was always met by Democratic objection,
which defeated consideration.
“But in February, 18a2, before the pas
sage through the Senate of the Senate bill,
Mr. Joyce, of Vermont, a Republican, had
offered a bill very much to the same ef
fect as the Senate bill, and moved a sus
pension of the rules and the passage of it.
This was disagreed to. Yeas 1)2; nays
93. Of the 112 yeas, but five were Demo
crats. The negative vote was Democratic,
with two exceptions. So that the record
of the Democratic party in Congress is
against even an inquiry Into'the question
of the effect of tbe traffic, whilst the Re
publican record has been in favor of in-
"ID tho present Congress, tho Fortv
eighth tho only action token upon Ibis sub
ject was in the House, when on the 10th o(
December, 18S3, Mr. Itecd, of Maine, mov
ed to add to the number of select com
mittees a committee on the alcoholio
liquor traite, which was agreed |to—Yeas,
142; nays. 80 The negative vote was ex
clusively Democratic, save four,"

by T. C. Toler, chief of police. The weap

Lnu Rock, Abk., September 10.—The
killing of Kd. Howell In Hot Springs to
night by T. C. Toler, chief of poller, was
cxurcte 1 here by those familiar witn the
condition of affairs there. Howell was
identified with Doran at ths time of the
killing affray between the Durtn and
Flynn gangs, and had repeatedly threat
encil to kilt Toler. A brief history of
Howell, who was a noted desperado, will
be read with interest: Howell was for
merly a railroad man, a natire of Missls-
i, and a desperado. Several yean
ago, while conductor of a Pull
man pabce car running between Memphis
and New Orleans, ta had a fight on the
train with a pauenger. Weapons were
used but nobody waa hnrt. Arriving at
New Orleans, Howell and his brother, Sell
Howell, a well known passenger agent of
the New Orleans, Ja:kson and Orest South
ern railroad and a "killer," sought the
offending pauenger. A light occurred at
night on Canal street In which Sell Howell
was killed and another man wounded. Tbt

PRESIDENT ARTHUR’S FUTURE.
What He Will Do When Hs Leaves the
White House Nest March,
Now York Letter In St. Paul Pioneer-Press
Ho will never return to politic*. He bas
a high notion of the dignity of the Presi
dential office. He will try to remain on
the pedestal which be thinks it has sc
him on. His ambition was to be contin
ued b,v suffrage tn an office which chance
bad given to him, but that disappoint
ment will not defect his future. He wi l
not take a lower place tn politics, nor re
turn to the practice of IsV. He is not
very rich—probably he will retire from the
White House with less than a hundred
thousand dollsra to bis name. He had
more than that when elected Vice-Presi
dent, but his expenditures have ever since
exceeded his Income. His social disburse
ments in tbe capital are greater than those
of any preceding President and bie efioris
to get a ra-oommatlost wera vary costly.
However, lie will live the rest oi nls days
in dignified retirement from all business.
And be w!;l do it elegantly, too. He has
made blends while President who will en
able him. They will not make him an ob-
jectof charity, but they will make it poe-
eible for him to ao employ his moderate
fortune that it will afford the income of u
greatone. The Astors are tinner obliga
tions to him for sending Waldorff A*tor
toltalyas United States minister. They
are just now showing their gratitude by
lionizing him »t Newport; and how easy
it will be for them to put him in the way
of immensely remunerative real estate in
vestment. He bas within a month been
entertained by Aitor*, Belmonts. Janie*
Gordon Bennett and other millionaire
people, irrespective of parly adherence
Most of these friends he bas made while
President. His social hold on them is
Arm. Ha will be an ornamental ex-Presi-
dent and. perhaps occasionally useful in a
non-partisan way, but lie will not let
himself down to any pursuit for a liveli
hood.

than one and one-half inches tn diameter, the
edjfcs rough, tagged, and seemingly dead, the
cavity open to toe bone and flllea with offen

faculty was tried in vain. Gradually the bouo
itself became diseased, and then the suffiring
began in earnest. Bone Uicera began to take
the place of thoso hitherto un the surfaoe. I
became a mere wreck. For months at a time
I could not get my hands to my head becan«e
of extreme soreness. Could not turn in bed.
