Cur Educational Needs.

Arkansas seeds many things to
BRING her INTO the front rank OF
States. We need immigrants to
cultivate our virgin and highly pro.
ductive soll. We need hundreds of
intelligent agriculturists and fruit
growers. We need factories of all
kinds. But our educational needs
ought to merit our first attention.
Intelligence creates wealth. Igno.
rance is expensive and unprotdc-
tive. The dairy product of the
Northern States, conducted upon
intelligent and scientific principles
is nearly double in value to the
cotton crop of the South.
We need a well organized system
of schools. We have plenty ofmod-
els TO choose from. Why not adopt
at once the best system IN use.
We need men Of liberal views, OF
good education, solid moral charac.
ter, of progressive spirit to manage
our schools. Away with the poIit.
ical adventurers, pot house polIti-
clans, unprlncipled political and re-
liglous turn coats, men OF small call
iber, morally and intellectually.
Such men can never MAKE q school
respectable. Their touch pollutes
the holy cause. In order to get
the best men to manage our schools,
some method other than political
election must be devised to secure
them.
We need everywhere better school
houses, Let substantial, well light
ed, we'll ventilated, capacious build.
ings be erected in which TO train
the youth.
We need good system of high
schools throughout the state to pre-.
pare students for our colleges
Three -fourths OF the students in our
State University ought to be in
high schools at homo preparing.
Indeed, our system at present is a

ELSEWHERE will be found the
proposed amendment to the consi-
tuition of the State of Arkansas.
When at the last session OF the leg
islaturc this amendment was pro-
posed and being discussed, the ma
jority of the state papers were
strongly in favor of its adoption,
and Notwithstanding the fact that
the supreme court OF the state de-
clared these Holtord and Levce
bonds null and void-illegal, the
papers continued their cry offraud'
and lllcgality,' urging as argument
that Its adoption would forever set
tie the matter, court or no court.
Now that the matter is again up for
consideration, and to be left to the
people for final disposition, many
of our brethren of the press who
favored the amendment, are getting
shaky, and seem to be waiting for
an expression from the people be-
fore re-committlng themselves. AS
tor our part, Individually, with the
lights before US, and from Il busi-
ness point of view-in justice TO

claims were sought to be iasten,

ment, not because it was the pro-
duction of a Fishback, fshtail, fish
head or any other part of a fish,
but because we believe it is in the
interest of justice, and just rcst-

the matter over carefully, and then
vote as to him may seem bcst-in

The teachers at present in the

We need o more rigid system of

given without examination ought
to be revoked Immediately by our

have been patriotic benetactors.

There is a room, a stately room,
Now bright with sunlight, now wrapped in
gloom.
There is door, a steel-clad door,
Lined with masses of hammered ore,
Closed with lock of Titan weight,
Opened only by hand of Fate,
There is a widow, broad and old,
Barred with irons of massive mould.
Back fror, the window, closed and fast,
Stretches the vista ofthe past
A lengthening vista, faint and dim,
Reaching beyond this horizons rim.
Men may wait at the window-sill
And listen, listen-but all is still.
Men may wait till their hairs are white
Through the hours of day and night;
Men may shower their tears like rain,
And mourn that they cannot pass again
Over tho pathway of the past,
But Travelled first it IS travelled last!
Turn with me to the iron door
Many "a mortal has stood before!
Lift the latch? It is fastened down!
The hinges are ilecked with a rusty brown.
Batter away at its massive plates!
Hark! do you hear the mocking fates?
'Tis only the echoes that so and come
Like the measured beats ofa muffled drum.
Your hands are bleeding? Then come
away,
Perhaps at length, You have learned to-day
That only when under the grass or snow
We learn what mortals must die to know
That only when we are still and cold
The door will swing on its hinges old!

article in weekly paper published in
this city called The New Yorker,
favoring protection to American In
dustry. Mr.. Greeley was the publish
and went to the Office of the paper.
One of the first persons whom met
was compositor standing at the case,
aud when asked for Mr.. Greeley he
said he was the man. I asked for the
author of the articles in question, and
was told by Mr.. Gleely that no wrote
them. The Chairman of the State Com
mittee was with me, and the question
of campaign paper was at once
broached. Mr.. Greeley agreed to come
up to Albany once u week and devote
two days in each week to editing the
paper. The remainder of the time he
needed for his own newspaper. will
say here that Mr.. Greeley could do
more intellectual labor than any man 1
ever saw. He became acquainted with
Mr.. Seward during the campaign. The
work which Mr.. Greeley did ut that
time was appreciated by all of us. And
SO gradually sprang up the political
firm Of Seward, Weed and Greeley.
There was much in Mr.. Greeley's dis
position to endear him to all with
whom he came in close contact. new

good than he.
