A brother journalist puts it in this
wise ave presume that some pco-
pie think that newspaper men are
persistent duns; let a farmer place
himself in similar business position
and see if he would not do the same.
Suppose that he raises one thousand
bushels of corn and his neighbor
should come and buy bushel and
this was only the small sum of one
dollar or less, and the neighbor says
81 will pay you the amount in few
days" AS the farmer does not want
to be small about the matter, he SAYS
all right. Another comes in the
same way, until the whole one thou
sand bushels of corn are trusted out
to one thousand different persons,
and not one of the purchasers con-
Germs himself about 1t, for 1t is a
small amount they owe the farmer,
and of course that would not help
any. He does not realize that the
farmer has frittered away his large
crop of corn and that its value is
due in "A thousand little drib!ets, and
that he is seriously embarrassed in
his business because his debtors treat
it as little matter. But if all would
pay him promptly, which they could
do as well as not, it would be a very
large amount to the farmer, and en-
able him to carry on his business
without difficulty. The above com
parison is too true of the difficulties
that the newspaper man has TO con-
tend with.

Washington, October 4.-The

having examined several additional
witnesses and re-examined Surgeon
General Barnes and DIR. Lamb. A
true bill was voted unanimously.
The jury did not return at once, but
took up another case. 1t is suppos-
ed by some that Guiteau will be ar
raigned before the adjournment of
the court to-day in order that there
shall be no crowd gathered in eNpec-

ed in Corkhill's hands the present

"The Spy has not taken our SEN

essary to say that McVeigl's just

"A, ARKANSAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER g. 1881.

Scoville, Guiteau's brother-in-law
and counsel, arrived and paid visit
TO the prisoner at the Jail, and later
had an interview with District Attor-
ney Corkhill relative to the manner
of proceeding with the trial The
district attorney said that he intend
ed to pursue the usual course in muir
der cases. Scoville jntima1ed to-
night that he intended to rest Gui-
teau's case on the plea of insanity,
and said at the proper time he would
ask for the necessary delay to enable
him to procure witnesses from a dis
tance to establish this plea.

Prejudice often wields a powerful
influence over community in pre-
venting that unity of action necessa-
ry to harmony and prosperity. But
the man who possesses really no.
BILE and generous heart, divests him
self of all prejudice where there is
something to be done that will be
promotive ofthe interest of the com
munity at large. He says, "come,
poighbors and friends, we may differ
in politics, in religion, In taste and
aspirations, but here is something we
are all Interested in; here is a school
to be organized and kept up, teach
er TO be employed; here is bridge
TO be built; a street or highway to be
repaired; here is a newspaper to be
supported and sustained, and in all
those we are to derive a mutual and
almost incalculable benefit and it
matters not what contrariety Of opin-
ions we may entertain on other sub,
jects, in these public enterprises we
are mutually dependent" Then
patronize your neighbor. Know that
every dollar you spend at home is
that much contributed to the wealth
of your neighbor and that your
neighbor's wealth and prosperity are
allied to your own and will benefit
! YOU us well as him.
The Osceola times., 1881-10-08

Life may not have any special at
fractions for us, and we may prcba-
bly, indulge in great deal Of non
sense about being willing and ever
anxious to shuttle off this mortal coil,
still if we had the power to fix the
date Of our own exit, none of us
would mention the day of the month
in the present year. It's all very
well to make great fuss about liv-
ing. but if we should be told that
next week is to be our last we should
make still more fuss, Like the Hi
bernian, we all want to live long
enough to hear the minister preach
our funeral sermon.
The Osceola times., 1881-10-08
Points Now settled.

Although several journals have
lamented the inability of the press Ia
intelligentiy discuss constitutional
questions, these discussions appear
to have furnished and applied law
enough to make clear number OF
important though heretofore ill-un-
derstood points, to-wit:
|. That when vice-presidcnt be-
comes president, the next persons in
the line of succession, respectively,
are the president pro TEN, of the SEN
ate and speaker of the house.
=. That should a vacancy occur in
the Offices of both president aud vice
president, and there being at the
time no presiding officer Of either the
senate or house, there would be no
person legally authorized to perform
the duties of president.
3. That upon the contingency a
bove mentioned the country would
be without a president until after Of
fetal notification by the secretary of
state of such vacancy, made to the
governors of the several states, and
the calling and holding of an election
for president, and his qualification
thereafter.
4. That president pro TEN. of the
senate or speaker of the house, be-
come president of the United States,
can act in that capacity only until
general election for president can be
held and his successor qualified.
Unlike a vice-president thus promo
ted, he can not complete the term
for which the president was chosen.
D. That before any newiy-elected
senator can take his seat the oath of
Office must be administered to him
by the presiding officer of the senate.
6. That the president pro TEN. of
the senate and speaker Of the house
receive the same pay 5000 per an
num) received by the vice-presidcnt.
Newspaper discussion during the
past sixty days has placed these facts
before the country, and contributed
much other valuable information
bearing on the structure of the gov
ernment, its checks and balances,
and the powers and duties of its
chief officers l.. r. Gaz.
The Osceola times., 1881-10-08

The subject of leyying a tax for
bulding a Court house attracted the
attention, or rather, was forced upon
the attention, of the Justices in Coun-
ty court session during the week,
A number of prominent citizens ar
gued aud plead like tow-heads to
have the levy of five mills-all that
can be constitutionally levied for
county purposes-applied to the
building of a Court house. This we
are clad To say our Justices of the
Peace, in court session, refused to
do, and for several reasons, aside
from that of legal authority, we be-
Iicsc ,hcy did just right. 1t takes
all or nearly all of five mills tax to
defray the curren; expenses of the
county decently. To have appro-
priated that amount to building a
Court house, and issue warrants for
deiraying county expenses, wonld,
considering this years shor, crops,
hard times, and the proneness of scrip
spectators to form syndics, whereby
scrip forced upon the market is run
down in value to the tail end of a
frazzle, and when once cornered, is
run up for the benefit of the monied
few; would, we say, have made il
burdensome upon the poor tax-pay-
er who can barely meet the demands
made upon him as matters now stand
