Reasonable Economy.

We do not like stinginess. We do
not like economy when it comes down
to rags and starvation. We have no
sympathy with the notion that the poor
man should hitch himself tc 3 post and
stand still while the rest of the world
moves forward. 1t is no mans duty TO
deny himself every amusement, every
luxury, every recreation, every comfort.
that he may get rich. 1t is no mans
duty to make an iceberg of himself. to
shut his eyes and ears to the sufferings
of his fellows, and deny himself the
enjoyment that results from generous
action, merely that he may hoard wealth
for his heirs to quarrel about. But there
is an economy which is especially COM
mcndable in the man who struggles
with poverty-an economy which is con-
sistent with happiness, and which must
be practiced If the poor man would
secure independence. 1t is almost every
mans privilege, and it becomes his duty,
TO live within his means; not up to but
within them. Wealth does not make
the man, and should never be taken into
account in our Judgment of men, but
confidence should always be secured
when it can by the practice Of economy
and self-denial to only q tolerable extent.
It should be secured, not 50 much for
others to look upon. or to raise us in the
estimation of others, as to secure to Us
the consciousness of independence. and
the constant satisfaction which is re.
ceived from its requirement and posses

he was trying to make joint of SIX
inch stovepipe fit into the end of five

the struggle he smote his thumb, about
midway between the nail and the Joint,
with round-backcd hammer. He
arose with sal, sweet smile, laid the
hammer down softly on tho carpet,
changed the lengths Of pipe, fitted them
and put the pipe up, and never said q
word. But he was pale and there was
a glowing light in his eyes. And the
next day, about three o'clock in the af-
ternoon. that man walked out Of town,
up the B. s. M. grade, and stood in the
woods and foamed at the mouth and

She slowly puts her letter on the

BY this time you are getting little

For the Legislature.

Little Rock Democrat: There are few things which ought to be done by the coming legislature, and some things which should be left undone Of the former we will mention some enactments that are absolutely es sentfal to the public good:
 l. A law providing for anG estab fishing an insane asylum.
 2. A good, strong, well guarded revenue law.
 3. The repeal of the law prevent ing the publication of delinquent tax lists.
 An act for the better government of incorporated cities and towns.
 5. Provision for the advertisement of the resources of the State.
 6. Changing the time of the State election and making it on the same day with the presidential election,

 There may be other laws which are necessary, but these we consider of paramount importance.

The republicans, emboldened by their majority in the lower house Iof congress, are making frenzied efforts to gain supremacy in the senate also. It is said that they are already concocting scheme to con test the seat of James G. Fair, oi Nevada, and it is well to remark that that gentleman has not yet been elected. Of the desperate game of tho republicans in this direction the Louisville Argus says
 "Boutwell's article in the North American Review outlines policy of inquiring into the methods ol composition of all the democratic legislatures which are to choose sen atsrs. and it appears that the party proposes to follow his theory of com p,ete centralizatlon of power. The builders of the constitution would scarcely recognize themselves, were they to revisit the scenes of theil labors to-day."

 If there be no choice through thr Electoral College, then the House lselects from the candidates the man who is to fill the Presidential office. And it is possible under the Constr tuition, for the representatives of one fourth of the people of the United States to elect President against the solid vote Of the other three fourthsl Without depriving the small States of any of their peculiar rights under the Constitution, we can do away with the absurdity o! an Electoral College, and let the people, by direct vote, elect the President and Vice President. It IS possible, by so doing, to avoid much of the fraud and corruption which tihkt our eitCtlups d ialtcs HVNh n cry and lie. These dcslderata should be made realities.
 The election of Seniors by the Legislatures of the States, is an act ual, grave danger. The Senate is not only coordinate branch of the Legislative department, but is a part of the Executive machinery. It wields vast powers. In close States, one or two men often have power to make Senator. In small States men of great wealth and high ambition compete with each other as to which shall own the Legisla- ture and thereby get into the Sen ate. Great corporations control Legislature and send their attor- neys to the Senate.
 If we would take security against haying a corrupt Senate, if we would protect the people against purchased legislation, if we would make bri- bery as difficult as possible. we must SO amend our fundamental law 80 as to have Senators elected by and re sponsible to the people.
