 had not, and get out of the old, mar row and contracted rut of ignorance which it was their ill fortune to have to go through; they are showing a disposition to raise the standard of morals and culture in our communi ty, and express feeling of gratitude to their benefactors for all they have done, and are doing. By all that is elevating, good and pure, let all en- courage the growth and culture of these human minds, and not throw the least obstruction across the main pathway that leads to higher aims and noble results. Give the children good sidewalks to school, and city councilman, place good stone cross ings at the street corners on the way that the handsome school building may be accessible, and the children of the town relieved of the greatest dread of the week, viz: To wade through mud and water to reach school four times day, thus expos ing them to great pain, coldness and sickness. We trust this appeal will be sufficient to awake the interest and public spirit of our citizens and that the demands of the children will be heard and promptly attend ed to.

Old Ben Butler.

No political party can claim Ben Butler. It may be doubted 1T any one cares to claim him. He has been every thing by turns, and nothing long. Today he is about two-thirds democrat, and one-sixth each green packer and workingman. But some how everybody is glad old otrabis- mus defeated those fellows up in Massachusetts. Many harsh terms have been pitched at Butler within the past twenty years, but no one ey- CT attempted to convict him of being fool When they were handing brains around old Ben was in the i'm mediate vIcinty and obtained his share. He is the only really able man elected governor of Mssachu- setts since John A. Andrew. the great war governor, who for the sake of his fame died too soon. Butler will prove most acceptable chief magis trate. With all his faults-and they are many and grievous-he has re manned a steadfast friend to the pool and oppressed, and these have clune to him and formed the basis of hi' strength throughout long and cheq ured career. Seldom 8 man of hi associations in life and great wealtl has been able to secure and retair the devotion of these classes eve so ready to serve his interests. Tn, fact suggests that down in the cente of the storm rent heart is spot mad' soft and tender by the flow of tn, milk of human kindness.-Littl, Rock Gazette.

As THIS State with her va

As THIS State with her vast re- sources is now attracting the atten- tion of capitalists and manufactur- CTS, would it not be the part of wis dom for the general assembly, at it's next session, to provide for an ex- tension of time for the exemp- tion of manufacturing establish ments from taxation? It is true a former assembly did enact law ex- empting manufactories from taxation for a period of ten years, but some three years have passed slnce such enactment and the manufacturing system of Arkansas is yet in its in fancy; in fact, hardly able to walk. Why not extend the helping hand. Georgia did so years ago, and what is the consequence? To-day, she is one of the richest and most progress i've of the cotton growing states, and the vast manufacturing interests within her borders are paying large returns into her treasury in the shape of taxes. Why should not Arkansas be equally as far advanced

 When was the Church of England foundedp
 Some tune during the reign of Alfred the Great, more than 1000 years ago. The general supposition is that it was incorporated or organ ized during the reign of Henry III, but this is not correct, as is proven by the fact that property in England leased for 999 years, has lately re- verted back to and Is now in pos session of the Church of England as it's legal owner. Therefore, the Church has had corporate entity many centuries.-Pomeroy's Demo crat.

Want Of Education

A recent article in the Atlanta Ga. ] Constitution on the "educa. tional wants of the south" is of con
 siderable significance, and applies with nearly or quite as much force to
 the west. It appeals to you, reader,
 be you father or mother, son or
 daughter;as well as to some one else in your neighborhood. For the util.
 ization of our undeveloped resources we must have factories, but for these, trained, intelligent, skilled labor is
 necessary. But to the article:
 I've have an over supply of clerks,
 lawyers and politicians, and we al- ways will have; but we are sadly de- ficiant in men whose hands are culti.
 vated as well as their brains. We
 lack intelligent men and managers of
 machinery. If we gather enough
 money to start.a factory, we have to
 send to other States to get men com
 petent to guide the machinery and
 conduct the inside operations of the
 factory. If we build railroad. we
 must at the outset import engin-
 eers, and afterward men skilled in operating railroad.
 "This IS all wrong. Youug man of
 the south the best Tn the land- should study, as soon as he leaves
 school. some department of manu
 featuring. He mnst first, of course, make himself skilled mechanic learn trade, in other words-and he need not and should not dislike the phrase. It is certainly as honorable and as pleasant to set horses shoe asitis to pettifog case in ajustice's 8 court, or sell ribbons in retail store, or serve in any other half paid and precarious employment We must get rid of that sham gentility that despises labor, and especially la bor in which brain and skill are har- moniouslyandeffectiv If the south Is to become independent--if her industrial interests are ever de- veloped, her young men must aban don old-time notions of labor, and prepare themselves to take charge of m matters that are now necessarily the spoil of strangers. The best and most inviting places in the southern country now go, as they do in Mexi- co and Egypt, to skilled men from other and more sensible States. The better the boy is educated, the better mechanic, or superintendent, or engineer, he will make. The high school is as useful to the future me chanic as it is to the future lawyer or merchant. All boys need all the schooling they can get; but, after they leave school, let them turn to industrial rather than professional avenues.
 "To effect this we need, as in All other reforms, a achange in public sen timent. We need a sentiment that will condemn the folly of the past in this respect. We need sentiment that will recognize the fact that the great industries furnish the best field for the young man who has a career to make-that in them is to be found both good wages and the most prom ising and desirable employment that the land affords. If we can once se- cure a public sentiment, we can safe ly trust the remainder 1.-the problem to the courage and good sense of the young men of the south."

 CONCERNING the reduction of the internal revenue, the Washington Post says:
 Commissioner Raum in his forth coming annual report it is believed will advise such a reduction in inter nal revenue taxes as will leave the aggregate income of the government from this source at about $l00,000,- OO0 per annum. It is known that the President while he is firmly op- posed to any proposition looking to the abolitiOn-at this time-of the entire internal revenue system, be- heves that the time has come when substantial relief can safely be ac- corded to the tax payers of the coun- try, and that a portion of this relief should come in the reduction of in ternal revenue taxation.

A PRESS dispatch from St. Louis conveys the information that after 8 very thorough examination of the case the grand jury ignored the bill against John A.

MANY persons are of the opinion that the next general assembly ought to so modify the road laws of the state as to insure a better condition of the public roads at all seasons of the year. As the law now stands it is dead letter in many localities. Something is required to force road Overseers to do their duty. The member, who will frame bill and secure the passage of law to cover the exigencies of the case, will be deemed public benefactor.

in ten years? Let our legislators think seriously of this important question and each ask himself the
 question whether it would be better to wait ten years and have the State filled with cotton factories, oil mills. machine shops, wagon factories, and other great industries by liberal course toward such enterprises, or refuse an extension of time of exemp- tion and keep out the capital that would otherwise flow into our bor- ders and make this great manufac- turing center? The question is wor- thy of serious consideration.

THE REPRESSION BILL.
The Boston Herald's Correspondents
Insight into the Subject.

BosrON, Mass, May 20
The Boston Heralds London correspon-
dent cables as follows: II am enabled to
give you exclusive information that Parnell-
Gladstone programme regarding the passage
of the new Irish measures, is now complete.
The Land League members have been in
formed that the progress of the repression
bill determine the action Of the government
regarding the arrears act. If they obstruct
first. government will delay second. Glad
stones anxiety to get the crime bill through in
some form is explained by his vast loss of
ministerial popularity with the masses since
the Dublin murders and hope of recovery by
this month"; hence great concession to the
Parnell followers to induce them to avoid
obstruction that would surely destroy Glad
stones government. When the crime bill comes
up before the committee important amend
ments will be offered and accepted. One re-
lating to proposed embargo on Irish news
papers will provide, when adopted, that sup
preston shall only refer to American Jour
nails of Rosa description. Another amend
ment will reduce the term of operation of
the law from three years to two.
Another will make less arbitrary the pow
or of arresting persons merely sus-
pected of belonging to secret societies.
The fourth modfies the powers of local
magistrates, ana provides the opportunity of
appeal to higher court of persons held by
their authority. Members of the liberal
party say the greatest dissatisfaction as to
the policy exists among the radicals and
tories. Mr.. Story said last night that Glad
stone must speedily choose between those
wings of the party. They decline longer to
be kept harnessed together.
correspondent says: 81 understand that
Parnell went to Paris again yesterday morn
ing to consult with Davitt and Egan, and is
not expected back before Monday. Undoubt-
eddy the most critical time in connection with
the ministerial crisis has been during the past
week. We have a curious spectacle of the
most conservative government in the world
s.eepei in political bargains of the most ex-
traordinary character"

an extract:
1.-The spirit of revolution is abroad. Every
effete and equity monarchy in Europe totters
on its rotten foundations. Brethren awake
arise and now labor with us to keep on the
ways Of Providence and to keep advance of
the good cause. Thus shall we in solemn
secret conclave continue with augmented
force to give emphasis of dagger, fire and
sword and of other available resources of
civilization" to our ancient merciless and nm
relenting enemy, to destroy whom we shall
use while life endures every means within
reach of human efforts. Let us clotbe our-
selves in sable, aye and in sackcloth and
ashes for our own dead. not for enemy's thew
(Cavendish and Burke) and others had better
been born dogs than answer our wrath. We
proclaim our answering fidelity to the
ancient gospel of force and those revolution
airy principles upon which this great repub.
lie bases. We say to those most concerned
and we say it with knowledge whereof we
speak Beware, lest in thus trampling upon
people you tread upon torpedoes' Let our
enemies look to it, they are fairly warned,
This manifesto ends with the cry in very
large type, God Save Ireland.''

lRREPRESSIBLE SHlPHERD.
He Will Pay No More Attention ito the
House Committee.

WASHINGTON, May 20.
Shipherd was asked this afternoon what
reply he proposed to make to the ultimatum
of the foreign affairs committee, and replyed
that he did not propose to bother with the
committee any further; that he had made
them proposition which they had declined,
and that now "that no power on earth could
compel him to produce his documents before
the committee; )" that he had wasted three
months time and expended several thousand
dollars in counsel fees, simply to please the
committee and the public; that the committee
had no power to compel him, and theywere well
aware of it that in the future he should not
even notice a subpoena from them.
He further intmated that he proposed in a
few days, to give to the public, through the
press, the documents which the committee
had declined to receive upon his terms. Ship
herd leaves the city this afternoon, but ex-
poets to return Monday, when he will make
arrangements for the publication of his doc
uments.
Shipherd has issued card to the public
which is intended to express his opinion of
Blaine and of the committee investigating the
affairs of the Peruvian Company. Most of
it is of a nature which does not justify the
Associated Press in giving currency to it, it
concludes as follows: ''In answer to re-
quests, already received from nearly every
State in the Union, am considering the ex-
pedience of continuing the narrative. The
necessary data are all ready and if the public
wants the facts and the documents am rath-
er inclined not to refuse them in connection
with the cards"
Shipherd indicates his intention to offer for
sale the documents which he had prepared for
the Congressional committee, but which he
says he will not under any circumstances
submit to them.
