He was liorn in Alabama, and is only 38 yearn of age. In 18G0 he went lo Arkansas penniless and went to work on farm. He is now President of thn First National Bank of Tine Bluff, and lias 12,000 acres of cotton in cultiva. vation. lie own three krge stores and a railroad twenty-nix miles in i i!lij5lni M of which j-uiih through one of hiit plantations. He is now huild ing nothor road forty-two miles in lepqttf through bin pliiitations. Mr. Neil' wealth h estimated nt $3,000, 000. j, Recently he advanced to one person $90,000. The moment he heard of the Hot Springs fire he forwarded 300 barrels of flour, 200 Wrels of cornni"al, 20.0HO pounds of Wf, he. Rides clothing, etc., for the lienolil of the sufferers. Some of the liest mines known have Leen discovered merely hy accident, while others ngnin are the result of years of toil and lahor. Then others again have heeti run across when the lucky individual whom fortune favored was thinking of anything hut falling into a gold mine. John Quinry Adatns, a namesake ot tne great jonn struck a rich mine somewhere down in New Mexico in this way: While pros petting he found his haversack on fire, his prospector's glass having fo'cuwd the sun's rays upon it. As the haver sack contained ahnut a dozen pounds of powder, he dropped it and got out of thn wny in a hurry. It fell into a crevice and a large mass of rocks was thrown up. Adams returned mourn. fully to gather up what mifcht he left of his effects, and found an exceedingly rich vein of ore which the explosion had exposed to view, lie sold a third interest -ia his find for $10,000, and Very consistently nan ed the mine "The Nick of Time."

His Deninciatic party of the State of Ore goo i in convention assemblod, adopted thd fid lowing resolutions: 1, Rksoi.vkd, That ' reaffirm the time honored maxim: "Equal and exact justice to all men; speci.il privileges to none." 2. That we heartily endorse President Cleve land and his admiui.tration in their etforU to purify the public service, to restore the admin istration of federal government to the practice of honesty which existed helore the govern ment was prostituted by the Republican party to partisan uses, personal ends and class legis lation. H. That we endorse the sentiment and sug gestions nt President Cleveland in his special message to Congress favoring a system of arbi tration ' of liitferences lietween capital and labor, employer and employe. 4. We favor a tariff for revenue, limited to the tioesasities of the government, economically ftdbiiniMlix't but aa any tariff for revenue mnst of necessity afford some protection Inci dents lly, we therefore favor such an adjust ment as to prevent unequal burdens and en co.irage the pnsluctkn of industries at home, and to slfonl just coinHnsation to labor, but not to create or foster monopolies. Therefore, as a matter of justice, the wil growing inter ests of the country should receive the same benefit from a tariif as the manufacturers of woolen gissls; and we condemn the action of a Republican Congress in reducing the tariff oil wool and increasing the tariif on woolen goods. 5. That we heartily endorse the present ad ministration in its etfirts to build up ft navy efficient and able to protect our sea coast and our commerce, and to maintain and defend our j :Uhts wherever our H i,' llo:tts, against any and every assault; and we lielieve that a reasoualue isirtion of suriiliis revenues slionlil lie appropri ated for the construction and armament of eis.-lt naval vessels, and that all material needed therefor and for the buildii.g up of our mer chant marine should be free from all tasation, and such vessels should he constructed, equip ped and armed at our own ship yards and shops and by our own workmen. IS. In harmony with the record of the Demo cratic party in the state and nation, we hireby lleilge the party ami its canilnute to use an awful means hskiug toward the speedy ter mination ot existing treaty relations between the United States ond China, and the lawful removal of all Chinese ciMilics who may now be in the United State. 7. We nre in favor of littoral nlTToiiriatlons commensurate with their Importance for the hays, harbors and rivers of Oregon, includiuu the mouth of the Columbia, he opening of the l"pi-r Columbia, the Willamette, lipmle, t'mpqua and Siuslaw rivers; (W, Yaquina, I illainook anil t'ort Utlnril nays. 8. That we uru'e uimiii our national govern ment the propriety of setting apart Crater lake and sufficient lands surrounding said lake for a national park. !. That the prodigality of the Hepuhlican party while in power, in granting jsnmdless tracts of tho pnbliu lands to corporations coin Hed of political managers and officeholders, under pretense of providing the country with railroads and wagon roads, and in upholding these grants in violation of law in casea where the grantees did not pretend to comply with the conditions of the grant, tni juntly merited the outspoken rebuke of every Americau citi zen. hiln deman ling (or corpornlious the observance of every contract right, we hold that everv such urant liecama void and was ab solutely forfeited in every case wliore the road was not complete.! in te manlier aim witinn the time prescrilied by law, and that such for feiture should be declared withmit further de lay (save in all cusea the rights of actual set tlers): ami the hinds of the lieoiile thereby rescued from the grasp of speculators should be lH-stowed in small tracts to actual settlers under the laws now in form, or such as may be hereafter enacted; and that the efforts of l'res ident Cleveland and tho officers under him to restore to tho people an amount of the public douiaiu equal in area to tuat of the cmiibinul states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl vania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, has won the uratituile and contiilcuoM of the labor ing and producing portion of our countrymen, and especially of the people of the State of Oregon. 10. That we earnestly sympathise with Glad stone, the English premier and l'arnell, and with their c patriots, in their euoris to ameliorate tho condition of (tie Irish people, and wish them Gjd snjed in securing homo rule for I inland. 11. That we are In furor of the enactment of state laws providing for the appointment of a state board of arbitration, to the end that all differences between labor and capital may be equitably adjusted, with (Ine regal d to both laborers irtid emiiloyers. 12. That we are opposed to any unjust dis crimination by transportation companies with in this State in favor or ngainst any plane or class of persons, and are in fovor of such legis lation as will prevent such discrimination Mid will establish just and reasonable freight rates within the state. 13. That we are opposed to the employment of convict labor In competition with free lalsir. 14. That we favor the submission t the voters of the state of Oregon of the pending amendment to the constitution of our state reg ulating the liquor traffic 15. That we demand such free school faoili- in our midst as that the children of the rich and poor alike may have theopertunities of obtaining an education commensurate with our advancing civilixatiou. 10. That we arralirn the Republican major ity of the recent session of the state legislature regular and special, for their manifold blun der in legislation wherein a regard for the in terest of the people was lost in the factional contest of the llepuuuuan ptrty; ami we u nomine the Republican party in this state fcr it extravagance and for collecting large sums of money from the oile by exorbitant taxa tion, and exiei.ding the samu for unwise and unnecessary purises. 17. That we fav.r a rfgH Invsstlatlisi aa to the manner in which tlie swamp binds of this state have been ilioseil of, and demand inch aotion as will restore to the people for the actual settlement such of these lauds a am un lawfully and fraudulently liehl. IS.

That w recommend that Congress make the iio-aary appropriati-in to nisiii and build a road connecting the Oregon .1t California rail road in Southern Ortejon with the southwestern border of tho stale. 21.

A little after 3 o'clock tho Captain appeared from the Cliff House attirrrrf in his husincss stli tof caoutchouc. Tlit Captain lost little or no time ia mak ing his way to tho rocks, and only hes itated in his course for a fnvr minute while the ancient anal, known to ever frequenter of the Cliff llouse aa "Ben Butler," made pressing overtuies to' him for an interview. It was generally believed by the spectators that tho' venerable phoca mistook the Ouptairt'i paddle for a sort of double headed Nevt Orleans spoon and that when he b ;ame satisfied that ho wan mistaken" ho' judiciously took himself off. Anjwftf ilurina the rest of the Captain's fflfor. gramme Hen contented himself witW recniinoitering his methods from a safe1 coign of tantage on the further 8et Rock. The program ne was a perfect stfc'' cess except in the one particular of blowing up thn man of-war, that vessel" having incontinently taken to ''artfnd'-' ini'" just as it was laorfcnerf.

A Word From DoDglun. HosTOtf, May 1. FWefica: oug- lass lias written letter tor f. W. Bird Douglass says: I nni a Republican ami I did a'l I could to defeat the elec tion of Piesident Cleveland.

While I was in oflfiic' President Cleveland treatfd m as he' treated other oflioe horlders Irt tho dis- trict. He was have enough to invite' Mrs. Douglas and myself to all his grand receptions, thus rebuking tho' timidity, I will not nay cowardice, or prejudice, of his predecessors. I om Republican, and, if living, shall do all I con to elect a Republican in 1888, but I honor manliness whenever I tinrf it, and I found it in President Clove land, and I Khould despise myself if 1 should let anybody think otherwise.
