The pairing off habit OF Congress
men, according to the New York
San, first entered the House in 1910
and the Senate ten years later.
John Quincy Adams in the one
branch and Thomas III. Benton in
the other denounced the practice as
in violation of the Constitution, and
of the duties of both parties totheir
constituents and to their country
The extent to which this custom
has now grown sometimes seriously
interferes with the progress of legis
lation.

Little by little the time required
for the passage between this country
and Europe is being scaled down.
The steamship Arizona, of the Will
liams & Guion line, made the run
from Sandy Hook to Queenstown in
the unprecedentedly quick time of
seven days, nine hours and twenty
three minutes. When, in 1870, the
Scotia made the passage in a little
more than eight days the achieve
ment was regarded as remarkable
This speed was greatly improved
upon, however, the City of Berlin,
in 1875, having made the run in
seven days. fifteen hours and forty
eight minutes. In the light of these
occurrences, the progress of navi-
cation since the first visit was paid
European to these shores seems
little less than fabulous. After
leaving the Canaries, Columbus
sailed due west TO, thirty six days
before he saw land.

We want no acts that will permit
great bodies of land to accumulate
in the hands of few. Our Repub.
lican nabobs may desire to build up
a gorgeous landed aristocracy, but
the people don't want anything OF
the kind. Legislation to secure the
parcelling of the land among the
many, such as the homestead law
is wanted. The more the soil is di
vided among the people, the longe,
the country will be happy, free and
prosperous.

natives of the Territory, 1,421 we're

$50 were natives of the United

1900 completely civilized inhabi-

Northern Democrats.

The Memphis Avalanche asks us
"Did Northern Democratic leader
ship wrest the South from the car
pet baggers?"
1t most certainly contributed in
large degree to that event. The
fight made by such Democrats as
Randall, Tilden, Thurman, Hen
bricks, VOORHEES, and hundreds OF
others will never be forgotten.
What Southern man with heart
within his bosom will ever forget
Tilden's words to the New York
Legislature on the iniquities of
Sheridan's banditti order in Louisi-
ana? Who can ever forget Sam
Randall's services in defeating the
force bills What Southern man can
fail to appreciate the services of
Thurman in defense of local self
government in the South. What
Tennesseean so base as to forget
the services of Hendricks and Pal
mer in laying bare the iniquities of
Louisiana?
Again, the Avalanche asks the
question, 'Did Northern Demo-
cratic leadership benefit the South
in congress?"
The Southern man who would ask
such question must have been in a
Rip Van Wrinkle state for the last
fifteen years. Northern Democrats
throttled the harpies in the South,
or rather they made it possible for
US, by unloosing the cords which
bound us, to work out our own de-
| liverance.
Would Arkansas be today free
had it not been for the work OF
these Northern Democrats? Would
Tennessee? Would any Southern
State? Would there be anything in
the South to-day worth living for
but for the heroic efforts of these
Northern Democrats? We have no
patience to discuss this question
with the Avalanche, or any paper
that seeks to ALLEVIATE the people OF
the South from the men who stood
by us in the darkest days that ever
befell an oppressed people.-Arkan

THE SUEZ CANAL.-The cost and

THE SUEz CANAL.-The cost and
value of the Suez canal are interest
ingly stated in a communication to
the State Department from Mr.. Far
man, United States consul at Cairo,
Egypt. The entire cost of the canal
it is shown, was So, 263,907. The
stock of the company consists of
100000 shares at par value of
800 each, which have sold as low
as 800, and at the opening of the
canal had advanced to only $50.
They are now quoted at S143, 40,
and are probably worth more. The
1862 shares purchased by the
British government were bought at
$l13 20. This great purchase, aside
from its political and commercial
advantages, thus yields clear profit
of S5,OOO,OOO at presentprices. The
balance of the stock is held by a
large number ofpersons, mostly in
France. The revenues have in
creased from 100000 in 1870 to
over $6,OOO,O0O in 1877. The ex,
penses, including sinking fund and
land, have been little over IS, 400,
600 per year, the actual expenses,
deducting interest and sinking fund,
being about 100000 annually,
The small comparative cost of main
tanning the canal arises fiom the
fact that there are no locks or lateral
embankments to be broken, and
there is little to be done except or
binary cleaning. Vessels drawing %
feet pass through the canal. Brit
ish ships going to India through the
canal save a distance Of 5000 miles
Two-thirds of all vessels going
through it are British. NJ. de Lesseps
the chief of the enterprise, expresses
the opinion that the proposed Pa
mama canal must be constructed
without locks to be successful.

AMEN.-The editor who uses his
columns as channel of personal

dishonors his profession, and is a

1t is truly encouraging to read in
all our exchanges the tlattering
crop prospects throughout the
South. The wheat crop is above
the average, corn promises we'll,
while the cotton crop is reported as
fully equal, if not better than that
of last year. The weather has been

Here is the way the Galveston
News expresses it: "Murder does
not 'out in New York, and it is not
adequately punished in Texas"
But every where, with but few ex.
ceptions, the voice of the press is
for a rigid execution Of the law
against taking human life. 1t is
better like our contemporary to adj
NIT that such crime is not adequate
ly punished, and to insist that it
shall be so punished, than to dwell
at length on the criminal records
of other States. Human life is en-.
tirely too cheap in every part of
this country.-Arkansas Democrat.
