MT. Patton's appointment as Census Supervisor of this district was rejected by the Senate. If we are to have A Republican, we prefer him to any other in the State. Oi course we would rather have a Dem ocrat, Dr. Carter or Col. Weber, for instance.-Ozark Democrat.
 The Democrat is correct about it; if S republican is to have the pos ition (and of course a republican will get it) there is not q more suitable and competent man in that party. As yet no appointment has been mado to lll the place to which Patton was appointed, and demo cratic senate would feel rather bad about it if Mir. Hayes should just let it rock along without sending in any other nomination, and thus have only half of our State emu merated. Our senators simply made

THREE OF THEM NAMED.

What a swarm of candidates there will be for the State offices this fall? What sparring and scrambling and electioneering there will bep But notwithstanding the multitudinous array of names which are going to be before the people, we venture right now that we can name three names which will be the names of three of our next State officials. First, there is Frolich; no one who pretends to know anything about Ar, kapsas' wants at this time has any doubt about him being just the man to keep in the Secretary of States office. And then there IS Wm. k. Woodruff, Jr., who Is just as sure to be our next State Treasurer as two and two makes four. The third name is Hon. Jas. l.. Denton. There Is not a man, woman or child in Ar kansas who would be wiling to re- tire him from the office of Superin- tendent of Public Instruction. The cause of education in our State needs him. He has been tried and proven himself to be THE man.
 So gentlemen, ye who are thirst ing and hungering after office, ifyou don't want to get left, you had better not come out for either of these three nositions.

BUSINESS AND SCHOOLS.

Russellville has shipped over l5,- 900 bales of cotton, of last fall's crop. Her citizens are moving for first class high school. It is one of the prettiest towns in the State and just the place for a good school.--Spirit of Arkansas.
 Next to the amount of business done at town, the school facilities afforded by the town attract the attention and command the admira- ton of the public. And just in pro- portion to the excellence of towns school facilities will be It's business prosperity and it's growth and up building.
 What the Spirit of Arkansas says of our town as beautiful and an eligible location for good school is strictly true. We are the center of surrounding cordon of counties of great agricultural re- sources, destined to be thickly pop ulated with live, industrious peo- p.e. Our town is healthfully 10 cated, is o. easy access by both rail and river, and is exempt from many objections which might be urged against large city as place to send boys and lgirls to boarding school. There is no reason in the world why splendid and popular institution of learning may not be founded here.
 The effort that is now on foot to build a commodious and respectable school edifice here should enlist the hearty cooperation of every citizen of the town and vicinity. Let all come squarely up to their duty and to their own best interest. Let there be copious voluntary free offering of assistance and encouragement to the move which will surprise the most sanguine. Let us have facill' ties right here at home for educating our sons and daughters, and nol be compelled to run the risk of send ing them out from home to como in contact with no telling what kind of influences, to say nothing of the expense of sending them from home Let us erect a handsome school edifice with the modern air and i'm. provements which belong to this day. Let us not stop at a mere make-shift, but let us give freely and liberally and make showing that we may justly be proud of. The bet ter the building and the better the school we start the better will the investment be for the people who glve aid. A fine brick building will be better than a frame. No one need hesitate about giving the dis trict aid, for if we found e good school it will be self supporting and in few years light tax will pay back all the loans. Dr. Perriman will call upon our citizens to-day and to morrow. Every man should pride himself in having his name upon the ROLL OF HONOR. II you cannot do A great deal, just dc what little you can and when we put it all together we will have stuff cient to build a handsome house Tomorrow night there will be ( mass meeting at the school house tc hear Dr. Perriman's report and tc further discuss the prosecution oi the grand work. Le. there be $ grand rally of our citizens.

C-ompulsory EducatIon.

In Manchester, England, $1,000 people
adults can neither read nor write. This
looks badly for enlightened Britain, but
it is an improvement over the situation Of
0 quarter OF q century ago, and under the
educational act OF 1870, compelling the
authorities to provide every childin Eng
land with school accommodation, and re-
quiring every child under thirteen years
OF age TO attend school, there has been q
marvellous change for the better all over
England. The attendance at the national
schools since 1870 has, in many localities,
increased IS or 40 per cent. The COM
pulsory act is very rigidly enforced. as 1t
ought to be wherever compulsion is
adopted. That system Is working wonders
in England. The principle that 1t is the
duty OF the state to compel attendance at
the schools, andthat no parent has q right
to keep children from acquiring an educa.
ton, Is unassailable, and some day 1t will
prevail throughout the United States.
