The Legislative "ring" of Little Rock,
whose plans and purposes to possess
themselves Of the Little Rock Railroad
have been foiled, have Instituted pro-
ceedings looking to q repeal Of so much
Of the Railroad Subsidy Act as has ref
erence to that line. Every other rail-
road in the State is to be aided but
this. We think such s. movement not
only q gross injustice to the company,
many Of whose contracts depend upon
the good faith of Arkansas, but that
it is unjust to the people Of Mem
phis and Tennessee who, first and
last, have expended q million and
s half dollars in the enterprise.
While We freely admit that the
benefits to Memphis from the compile
ton Of this road will be of inestimsble
value, we claim that 20 Arkansas they
will be no less 90. To take from the
Company just now the Subsidy of SlO,-
900 per mile voted by the people, will be
to iDflict a damage amounting to an
almost cessation Of the construction
work now under way. We hope the
friends of the road will be industrious,
in her interests, with the Arkansas Leg
~islsture until the matter is definitely dis.
posed Of, and the subsidy Of lEst fall is
secured beyond any carping, Jealous or
