The reform party, now lie session in
constitutional convention in Arkansas
are troubled about tho subject Of edu'
cation. We say it is the reform party
that is in session because they consti-
tute an overwhelming majority Of the
convention. They don't like the old
bill Of rights In the old constitution,
which says that the State shall ever
maintain a system of free schools
wherein all can be educated. This
was always the case with these re-
formers when they were called dem
ocrats, and Of course it 10 perfectly
natural that now they call themselves
conservatives, independents, anti-,no-
nops, or anything else, that this same
disposition should follow them.

4 Few Things Congres. Can DO.

Congress can pass tho bill to es-
tablish national savings deposito-
~, and thus provide place of Sc
curity for the surplus earnings of the
industrial classes, and by tho amount
Of interest paid to the capital and
the power of the working men and
women Of the country, and encour-
age economy and prudence on the
part Of the whole people,
Congress can, by a courageous
and progressive policy, aid material
~ in restoring confidence to the pco-
pie in the strength and security of
our financial system, but this will
not be accomplished by Withholding
support TO proper and useful meas
ures Of improvement, either AS to
necessary public buildings, river and
hsrbor expenditures, and other means
ofencourngement toprogross and eco
nomical expenditure by the people
Congress can coniine appropria
tons TO works Of utility, such as
public buildings which will save ex-
penditures for rent the improve
ment of the lines Of water naviga.
ton, SO as to cheaper the transfer of
property from one section of the
country TO another, and thus save
money to the people of both sections
Congress can restore the ~ per
cent, duty which was unalvisedly
taken of Of foreign fabrics, increase
the taxes on whisky and tobacco, to
which few, if any, will object, and
t. Us provide all the revenue. neces-
sary to the steady and efficient pros
ecution Of all legitimate Government
work.
Congress can, by the regulation
OF fees and the abolition of the er
obicio moiety system, equalize the
compensation of revenue officers and
increase the public revenue without
additional tax upon the commerce.
and business Of the country.-Ne

CENTRAL 1NrELLIoENcE We bo
Gsye the day is not far distant when
the enlightened public opinion ofthc
country will demand universal edu
cation applicable and enforced in
every section Of the Republic. Our
pcrpetuity and safety as y govern.
mcnt depends on tho intelligence OF
our people. The higher the stand
ard Of intelligence the safer and
more permanent will bc our institu-
tions. In his Farewell Address
Washington left us his views en- the
subject. He said promote, ms ar
object Of primary importance, insti'
tutions for the general diffusion ot
knowledge. In proportion as the
structure ola government gives force
to public opinion it is essential that
public opinion should. be enlight
oned." The party that follows this
advice will not lack the earnest sup
port Of the people.
