THE doctrine of the Little Rock Gazette on the railroad question has the true ring of monopoly, and one of the surprising things connected with it, is the readiness and facility with which all the other papers of the state chime in. It has been re- peatedly charged that the Gazette is run in the interest of monopolies, and it appears to us that the charge is we'll founded. In opposing the course of the Gazette and denying the wholesomeness of it's doctrine, we do not oppose the reticulation of our country with railroads. It is not the end proposed that we are object ing to, but the subterfuge of the sug- gested means of reaching that end. We will lay this down as a proposi- tion: That the majority, if not all of the railroads care nothing whatever for the development of the resources of a country, further than their pc cuniary interest is concerned. They want to build roads through those parts of the country, that have sui ficient productive development, to pay these companies enormously for conveying the products to market, Let the capitalists build roads in any direction they please, but by an act of legislation, require them to pay taxes on their roads as other proper ty holders have to do. And the time is come in the history of this country when if the companies will not give an equitable rate of passen- ger fare, we should have an act to regulate the fare. Three cents per mile for passenger fare is enough, and it would advance the interest ol the railroad and enhance the value of the property along the lines tc carry passengers at that price.

TIE great Southern Exposition to be held at Louisville, Ky, beginning August the 1st, 1883, to continue one hundred days. promises to be the grandest affair of the kind ever known in America, except the Ma
 tional Centennial. $252,000 have already been subscribed by the peo- pie of Louisville, and is now being paid in, and new subscriptions are being received daily. The main building which they expect to have complete in full time for this years Exposition, is 900 by 600 feet, cover
 ing about thirteen acres of land.- The earnestness, and unrelenting ac- tivity of the people of Louisville, to be able to make a brilliant display of American industry, and to render it enioyable to the visitors, recom- mends the Exposition to the patron age of the people. As Americans we should encourage this Exposition.

THE tariff bill is still pending in congress, and costing the government thousands of dollars in order that the statesmen of the nation may have a fair opportunity to discuss this measure. It has been before the congress of the United States for generations; it has been discussed by the best writers America has ever produced; it has been written upon by the best writers of America, and now while we stand on the pedestal of ages, and turn over the dusty pages of history, and array before our minds the permutations and combinations of historical events, we find ourselves graphing with this tariff question as school boy grap- ples with his first problem in alge- braic equations. The great men of the day attempt, with philosophy and logic, to solve the question; those not above mediocrity exhaust thelr reasoning powers in attempting a solution of the same thing, and the most unlearned, and incapacitated country editor, has written enough attempting solution of this great national problem, to make volume, and yet we are enthralled in it's mesh es. Our national congress is yet in doubt as to what course to pursue in the matter. Senators advocating the passage of bill to relieve the country of the imposition of the tar fir, are openly accused of selfishness, dishonest allegiance with foreign powers, and many other things equal ly as odious. Those who love their country and study the interest of their constituency; who study the interest of the whole country; who see the uncertain tendency of the nation as she glides down the ages to come; and whose hearts are too big for ut teranee when they see the breakers ahead that might be removed by leg islation are ridiculed for advocating this measure. We make no preten- tions to patriotism, but while we pen these lines, ages unborn and visions of glory crowd upon our soul, the grand possibilities of America Remove this burdensome tariff and develop the resources of the whole country. As it is, it greatly retards the development of the south. We want our whole country to enter the march of progress.

SINCE our last mention of the city cemetery, we have had the privilege ofinvestigating the matter somewhat, which resulted in the elimination of the following facts: This cemetery belongs to the city, and is therefore within the jurisdiction of the city council. The council did at one time lay of the cemetery into burial lots, and offer the same for sale. It seems that because the council did not find a ready sale for the lots, that the ordinance was not enforced. You need apprehend no fears gentle men on this subject, for your banks may fail, the railroads may bank rupt, the cotton crop may fail, and your town cease to improve, but the cemetery will grow. The people will die, and they must be buried. These lots will sell if you are disposed to enforce the ordinance, and you can, with as much propriety enforce that ordinance, as any pertaining to the city. You enforce the street ordi- nance, and you can also, enforce the cemetery ordinance. If there is no such an ordinance, in the name of all respect for the departed, enact one at the next meeting. Appropri ate $2O0 for the purpo , of enclosing the cemetery. and the ltnens will supplement that amount with $150 or $200 more. The citizens commit tee have on hand $123-we believe, and we feel confident, that it can be raised to $l50, if not more. We will never have live, building town, while we so carelessly neglect the public interest of the place. Let us not neglect the resting place of our dead, no! in the name of civilization mol

orous for manufacturing institutions, and there is no state more in need of them.
 Destructive fires have prevailed in many parts of the United States this winter, and the loss of property has been very great. If they continue proportionately, the loss of property and life by fire this year will exceed that of many proceeding years. Itis said that insurance institutions en- courage fires.
 The Woman's Suffrage convention was in session a few days ago in Washington City. A good deal of time was consumed in framing and adopting resolutions, expressive of the sentiments of the convention. Among other things they resolved to compete with the opposite sex for all places in the civil service of the United States.
 Another Treasurer is short. J. H. Vincent, treasurer of Alabama, has fallen behind the dead line about $300,000 worth. It is indeed strange that modern treasurer can not live on the salary allowed by the government. We would suggest that all officers be paid off weekly, and that treasurers be required to dis purse funds weekly.
 There was considerable earth quake along the Mississippi some time in the month of January, which was felt perceptably in Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri. In some places the shock was very great, and in the region of Reelfoot lake, Tenn, about 500 acres of land sunk and is now under water. There must have been a wonderful subterranean explo- sion in that region of some kind.

THE meeting called at the cotton

THE meeting called at the cotton exchange this afternoon for the purpose of improving our meth ods of handling cotton, involves a subject of great interest not only to our business men but to the entire public. We must bring more order and system to the handling of our great product or we shall continue to suffer great loss. Till this is done Little Rock will never be considered first class cotton market.-Arkan- sas Daily Democrat. It is not only necessary that the city of Little Rock "bring more order and system to the handling of our great product" but it is highly necessary that all the in- land towns do the same thing. It involves great deal in many res poets. Monopolies gre controlling our cotton for us, and the idea of the price being regulated and governed by supply and demand, is becoming extinct. We must manage some way to have something to do with the disposition of our products, if such a thing can be done

WE have carefully read the bill tha: provides for the establishment of Department of Agriculture for the state of Arkansas. The bill is not very scholary but it shows that the author has very comprehensive idea of the purposes and aims of such department, and itshows just as clearly, that he has very mea- ger idea of the means to be adopted for the purpose of carrying into prac- tical effect the provisions of the bill. It provides for the appointment of an officer who shall be known as the Commissioner of Agriculture. It requires this Commissioners to be a thoroughly competent agricultural chemist, and geologist. In detailing his duties the bill shows that the commissione., must also, be conver- sant with the sciences of Meteorolo- gy, Mineralogy, and Botany. This is all very well, but what we want to say is, that no one man can fulfill the requirements of the bill. We want an agricultural department, one that will assist in the development of the resources of our state, and this bill will do that, if some means can be devised for It's practical enforce ment. As the bill stands it will never accomplish it's defined pur- poses.

SEVERAL papers of the state are clamoring for new and complete digest of the laws of the state of Ar kansas. Being stranger in the state, and not acquainted with the statutes of the state, we are not pre- pared to say definitely whether this is one of the real needs of the people or not. The present digest is a huge mass of mangled patch work, and stands greatly in need of something, and it may be better to frame new one entire. We would suggest that the matter be postponed until we are in better condition financially, for this digest will cost the state $20,000 or more, and under the pres ent state of affairs, will not last twenty years. The past demon strates beyond any doubt, that, state legislation is nothing more than a costly experiment. We pay one leg islature to enact few hundred bills for the government of the people, and at the end of two years we pay another to go and repeal those bills, and enact number of others that neither we nor they underestimate Lets wait quarter of century and see if we cannot get legislature whose members arc. up with the spir- it of the age, who will be able to pen citrate the future sufficiently to enact laws that will continue to be for the good of the people twenty or thirty years. It is all an experiment, and we say, let us try it awhile longer.

WE have no disposition to criti
 cize, and do not wish to enter the role of critics, but we cannot concur in the sentiments of the Laborer's Herald, published at Clarksville.-- This thing of organizing leagues and opposition clubs, is bad policy to say the least of it. There has al- ways been an undue prejudice exist ing between the laboring class and the commercial class, and especially between the farmer and merchant, and we believe we are justifiable in saying, that it was not, and is not the fault of the merchant. The farm CTS, as a class, have always felt in this country that the whole conner cial world was conspired against them, and using every effort to swim de them out of what they had made by dint of industry. The farmers of this country have long time felt that the merchants looked down on them, and regarded them as an infe- rior class, and many of them believe to-day, that the merchant would not even manifest disposition of civili- ty toward them, if it were not for making something out of them. We frequently hear this remarked by our farmers. This unpleasant condition of things grew out of the fact that the farmers have taken improper views of the relation naturally exist ing between the two classes. And our Clarksville cotemporary, in- stead of coming out like man, and using his efforts to properly enlight- en the people, and bring them to- gether, he is spreading himself like a green bay tree," to widen the breach, and strengthen the prejudice. Every league tha lis organized in the spirit of those recommended, is just simply a means of arraying one class against another. This is not the way to promote the welfare of the country. It is not the way to improve society, and advance civil;- zation. It is not the way to harbor the best interest of the farmer. It is not the way to prevent mortgage. The way for our farmers to advance their interests and own the farms they cultivate, is industry and econ omy-trade as little as possible with the merchant. Make everything on the farm that is necessary to keep the farm going, keep out of leagues, and you will come out all right. We were born on the farm, and brought up on it, and we are in for the farmer heart and hand.

A correspondent in the Prescott Dispatch commenting on the vote by which Senator Garland was re- turned to the United States Senate, says that this ''vote shows that there are only two par ties in Arkansas, the democratic and greenbackers." If this state ment be true, the press of the State is made up of an ignorant set of men, or else there has been radical change in the politics of this State within the past twelve months. If the vote of three men for or against one national officer is the turning point of our political outlook, we fear that the politics of the State is reduced to the extremity of a drown ing man. But the united vote of the democrats and republicans and the opposing votes of the greenbackers, rather shows to those who are free of partisanism, those who are engaged for the prosperity of the country, that the democrats and republicans of the State appreciate worth and merit more than partyism, and that these greenbackers would indulge in capriciousness for the sake of party distinction. It is their indisputable right to vote as they please, howev- CT, and we are glad the democratic party prevailed.
