Ohio has 5835 miles of railroad in active operation. The valuation of the railroad property, as fixed by the state board of equalization for 1881, is SS3, 764,3l574 and taxes amounting to $l 203,6342S are re ported paid. When the process of railway development began Ohio had a small population, with little to show Tn the way of manufactures and general commerce. In square miles that state is smaller than Ar kansas by over l2,000. But for twenty y-tve years every possible en- couragement to railway construction has been given. Today the state is a network of railways; manufacto. r!es rear their heads nearly every where; most of the land is cultiyat ed because the railways furnish transportation to market. Arkansas with 1900 miles of railway has 500, GOO population. Ohio with nearly 60O0 miles has a population of 3,2O0, GOO. Little Rock Gagettc.

TIE BIENNIAL report of the S,

THE BIENNIAL report of the secre- tary of state, Hon. Jacob Frolich, is before us and is the most complete work of the kind ever issued in Ar kansas. Col. Frolich in his report has proved himself to be the right man in the right place. The re- ceipts ofhis office have far exceeded the expenditures on account of clerk hire, salaries, etc. The report is a model document and gives fund of information regarding state affairs from 1886 to the present time. The secretary of states office is more than self-sustaining

THERE is no desire among think ing people for constitutional amend ment prohibiting the manufacture or sale of liquors in Arkansas, or for the repeal of the present laws gov erning the sale of such. As the law now stands the people are satisfied, and the vote of Pope county at the September election, "76l majority against hcense," is convincing proof that the people are in favor of "let- ting well enough alone" We think another years trial of the three mile" will prove to besobenefcial that the people will not want a constitu- tional amendment The editor of the Little Rock Democrat, who is q thinking man, thus writes;
 The best thing the legislature can do in the matter of the three-mile law is to do nothing Just let it stand as it is. The people seem to be thriving under it. We have had no demands for it's repeal and itis likely we shall have none. Looking to the common good and having an eye on the future success of the democracy, we ask the legislature to 'go slow" in this matter.

SEVERAL gentlemen are favorbly mentioned in connection with the speakership of the lower house in the next general assembly, and there is not one of the number more emi- nently qualified for the position than Hon.

Without disparaging the claims of other as- pirants, the DEMOCRAT favors Col. Hewitt for the speakership.

For SPRING.--One would almost have
cause to think that Saur is somewna neg
lecting the book and stationary depart
menJ in his store, if he should Judge from
the large stock of paints and oils, wall and
window papers, and the great variety of
drugs and medicines, he has beeen receiv-
ing this spring. But this is not so; on the
contrary he has just stocked up with q
very large and fine line of photograph
and autograph albums, blank books, fan
cy letter paper and envelopes, all the late
new novelties in the stationery line, also
many new books, and we must say the
largest and finest stock of German and
English family and pulpit bibles which
we have ever seen. All should remember
that Saur keeps first class book store
rs well as first class drug store and
that you can get anything and everything
here that is kept in any book store how
ever largeit may be, and that Saur always
guarantees his prices to be as low and
often times lower than the lowest.
