THE tariff problem is assuming
new features. Both democrats and
republicans are in favor of abolish
ing the tariff system, while both are
in favor of retaining. 1t is now as
certained that Hancock was about
right when he said, it was a local
matter. Whether fraudulent or just,
it seems ous to be very senseless
doctrine, and ought to have been
abolished long ago. 1t is to be hoped
that our statesmen will not get in
too much of u hurry and pass some
derogatory bill that will do more
harm than good, and that will be in
the way of future legislation.

Tur trial of the star route thiey

The trial of the star route thieves
still obtains in the city of Washing
ton. The press generally in referring
to this extraordinary case say it is
still progressing, but it Amt, for it
is like our beloved Churchill matter,
it is still coMrLIcATING and costing
the people money. The gang on
trial at Washington have cost the
government thousands of dollars to
prevent the course of justice, and the
trial grinds on seemingly to no pur-
pose. Whenever man gets far
enough up the ladder of wealth to
take the bankrupt law, or when he
advances far enough in popularity to
have trial by the state or general
government, he is all right--he is on
the sure road to success. Our ad-
ministrative system is as adjective
as a broken jug in an anti-three-mile
town. and our social system is q
travesty ON civilization.

gal manner OF living. Diversity you'
crops, make all you want to live ~on
and some to sell. The merchants do
not want TO control the farmers, they
want them to live and be free men.
The merchants and mechanics and
professional men all have to live,
and the more of them, the greater
will be the markets for the products
of the earth. And the more of them,
the worse it is for them and not the

WE judge from the reading of the
Gazette's editorials on the prohibit
tion question or movement, that it is
the organ of the whisky element in
Arkansas. Are we correct in our
conclusion, old lady?-Beebe Times.
This will strike the reader as a
very powerful argument.-Gazette.
We come to the front and take our
stand beside the Times and ask
the same question. If the Gazette
is not in the interest of the whisky
ring, why does it continue to lead
the arti-prohibitionists in the State? /?

MANY of the best papers in the
state take our views of the exemp-
ton resolution. OF course the Ga
zette is excepted. This measure is
to be discussed with special reference
to its tendency, and the resultsof its
operation. The immediate benefits
resulting from the operation of such
a law, are admitted by all, but many
are so blinded by the hope of lmme-
diate gain, that they cannot see the
tendency of the matter. We are not
to legislate solely for the immediate
results, but for the perpetual good OF
our country.

THIS is co. operative world, and
every industrial class depends to a
certain extent, upon every other in
dustrial class. Many men who have
but little standing and no prestige,
are rising up in the country and at
taining to fortune and position on
the pretence, that they are, soul and
body, in for the interest of the farm
er regardless of every other interest.
We need more farmers, and better
farmers, but we need at the same
time all other classes of industrial
men, merchants, mechanics, lawyers,
doctors, ministers and school teach
ers. One class, as class cannot af-
ford to array itself against another,
for one class cannot live and pros
per without the others. Every other
class depends upon the farming class
for bread and meat, and for cotton
and wool, but because this Is true
you cannot afford to make war on
the merchant. You can keep your
self out OF the clutches Of the mer-
chant, and you can do this by ju
dlcious system of farming and a fru-

THE stock holders of the proposed

held meeting last week in Dardan
ellie. Commenting on the results of
the meeting, the Dardanelle Post has
the following to say; Nothing re-
mains now to be done, according to
Mr.. Bourland, except the opening Of
spring for the commencement and
early completion of the road. The
capital stock is placed at $45, 200, in
shares of 500 each, the estimated
length of the road 4 miles, the time
of completion Angus lst. The west

hope that the pleasure of riding on a
railroad car to the town that has no
cotton mill, will be granted to us
this year. We are glad that the con-
struction of this road has become a
certainty, it will build up the two
towns and help the country.

THERE is much of the state politics
that we are not yet familiar with.
Some laws have been enacted by
former legislatures, that have not
given satisfaction and have been re-
pealed by the present legislature.
Not being in the state at the time of
the passage of these laws, nor during
their operation, and having never
studied the politics of the state,
we cannot be expected to point out
the good and bad features of these
enactments. They may have been
lookingdircctly to the general interest
of the country, to the welfare of the
country. Or tie repeal of these laws
which seem obnoxious may be a
thing OF necessity. 1t requires some
time for one who is not a politician,
and one who never had any expert
ence in politics, to get the run of the
political stream OF 81 an. espec-
tally when the law makers are con
tinually repeating the laws. Anoth-
er thing, politics are very antic and
hop about like heas. We mention
this that our readers may know that
the absence of editorials on all these
things is not attributable to inadver-
tency, but is pure ignorance. In the
mean time, if you will give us the
least shadow of an idea Of what you
want, we can fix it up exactly as you
want it. Try US.

those who argue this doctrine are
reprobates, and have no more regard
for morals than hog does for the
proclamation Of an Ex- Governor. If
the press would maintain high re-
gard for morals it would be great
power for good, and would soon edu-
cate the people up to a point where
they would vote unanimously for
prohibition.

WE have before us the free schoo
bill now pending the Legislature. We
have examined the bill sufficiently to
say that in the main it is good bill,
and if it passes and is enforced, it
will work revolution in our school
system in the State. 1t provides
Tor a County Superintendent, who
shall supervise the whole educatio,
al work of the county. According
to the requirements of the bill, he
must be man of experience, and a
man of very comprehensive views.
The bill provides that one series of
text books in each branch of study
be adopted and that no change be
made for period of three years.
Many will rejoice at this intelligence,
but the rejoicing would be much
more if no change conld be made for
period of ten years.

IMMEDIATELY after the passage of
the temperance bill in the legislature,
last Friday, we received the follow

that those who faithfully discharge
their other duties, and stand un-
fine hingly in the interest of their
country in the temperance cause,
will make good record:

An act to authorize the several coun,

deeds for lands sold at the delin-

Whereas, in manv cases county
clerks in different counties in this
state have heretofore executed deeds
for lands sold at delinquent tax
sales, which said deeds are void by
reason of showing upon their face,
that two or more tracts of lands
were sold together, as recently de.

Of any such void tax deed to the
clerk of the county court of th
county in which said lands were
sold for taxes and said clerk being
satisfied from the records of his Of

contained in said deed were sold
separately, said county clerk shall

thereof, the error therein, that each
