Convention Of the E'rOisi-

Arkansas.

The State Temperance convcn-
ton which met at Little Rock last
Saturday, adopted the following
resolutions:
WutREAs. The present local or.
ton license law for the sale Of ar
dent spirits has served its purposes
IN agitating the subject and educa-
ting the public mind, untit it has
demonstrated the necessity of the
entire prohibition Of the manulac-
ture, sale and use as beverage of
all intoxicating liquors in the state;
therefore,
Rsso'rcd, That wc hereby memo.

YE0crc's Amendment.

The Searcy Beacon thus refers
to the resolution known as Moore S
amendment:
"A bill has been introduced in
the legislature providing for hold
ing elections every four years, be-
ginning with the election to be neld
1 in 1882 for state officers. We hope
that the bill will become law, as
the people OF this state (as well aa
other states in the south are hear
uly disgustcd with continual polili-
cal strife. There is much TO be
done by the people Of Arkansas IN
the way of developing her wonder
ful resources, and making this Il
rich and prosperous state. They
have no time to waste ia local pO-
ltical discussions from which no
| benefit Is to be derived. What the
people want is good laws and eff
cient officers to enforce them, and
il matters hut little how long those
officers serve, SO long as they are
faithful in the discharge Of their
duties"
/ The South Press luus ad
vocates the adoption .itte prvpgs
ed resolution
One OF the best meas res before
The legislature is that introduced
10y Moore, OF Washington county,
| proposing to amend the cons'ns
| ton so that state elections and meet
ings Of the legislature shall occur
only every four years. Our eiec.
tons occur too frequently tor the
good Of the people, and there is cv.
idertly too much legislation. We
hope the resolution will pass.
a correspondent to the Little
Rock Democrat, writing from Con
way county, says:
think the proposition Of Moore,
of Washington, looking to quadren-
nial elections and the constellation
of elections with n reduction in the
number of Legislators, is the best
measure that has been proposed at
the present session OF the lcgIsla-
ture. | am glad that you favor it
and hope that it may become law.
The people are tired Of so many
elections, and they belive that few
er legislators would give Us more
wholesome legislation than the
present number.
The Times advocated such law
during the last campaign, and if the
congressional election is included, +,
and to take place at the same time
with the state election, it Is Just the
thing needed. Our people will
hail its Passage with gladncss and
reioicings. Members of the Legis
lature, when the resolution comes
up for final disposition, shut your
your eyes and vote AYE ond the
people will call Won blessed.

From private source, we learn.
that a Bill prohibiting the sale of

II would seem that notwithstand-
ing each succeeding house of repre-
scniatiycs is "tAc most intelligent
body Of men that ever assembled
at the states capital" they, like all
their predecessors, commit eyre
gious blunders, as individuals, az
least, If not rs body. For instance
the Boyd bill, on railroad tariff; the
bill donating lands TO the White
River Valley Rail Road, and the
bill taxing Drummers, or, CONNER
cial Agents. Don't the advocates
Of the latter bill know that such
an act is only an additional tax on
their constituents, indirectly collce-
ted il the state taxes the drummer
for the privilege Of selling goods,
the merchant who buys will have
to pay the extra per cent. and the
merchant ever alive to his interests
will add to his per cent, So that af-
ter all, the drummcrs' tax will come
out of the pockets OF the consumers
and the tlllers OF the soil. Why put
additional burdens on the people
Don't they already pay dear enough
for everything they buy? If the
state needs additional revenue, why,
Just say so in so May words, and
levy an additional direct tax the
people will stand it; but don't filch
their pockets with one hand, while
with the other you hold mp the de-
lusive idea that you are doing them
noble service, for which they should
be thaukInl. They know better.
A bill, 1t strikes us, encouraging
competitor, in all Legitimate trades,
or calling, even TO the extent of Of
fering premiums, if the state could
afford it, for building railroads,
manufactures, establishing safe and
economical commercial relations
with other states, and fostering inn
migration would be more to the
point. The merchants of Arkansas,
as class, are our most intelligent
citizens, and are shrewd enough to
take care Of themselves when deal
ing either with the wholesale mer
chants of the larger cities or then
commercial agents, aud do not as;
nor desire legislation in thor be

Swan Heard From.

Swan, of knife sharpener and corn shelter
fame, wrote a letter, at Toledo, to hi,
father-in-law. at Minot. contrasting that his
accounts, a. town treasurer. were short
little over $1,000. An examination by
committee. appointed for the purpose, shows
that he has embezzled the funds Of the town
to the amount of Sl.6j93S He is also
found to be indebted TO individuals. who
supposed they were leaning to the town. to
the amount Of over $1,000
His letter gives no explanation of the
causes which led him into this systematic
course of embezzlement and swindling
which has been carried on for about two
wears, and leaves one to believe that the
man is thoroughly bad The disgrace has
nearly crushed his wife who is spoken of as
q most estimable lady OF course the let
ter does not intimate where he has gone
nor when his return NAV be looked for
He has struck for new pastures where his
wonderful corn shelter and moving machine
