"CRUCIFY HIM."

There are two ways of crucifixion.
The barbarous method adopted by
the ancients, the one by which Christ
was put to death, has long since
passed away, and the modern method
which is just as cruel and ignomin-
ious, has taken its place. There are
thousands of people who are good
church members, who spurn every
of cruelty and barbar-
ism, who are in favor Of justice and
equity to all, who at the same time
are acting more shamefully than
those who practiced the former
method of crucifixion. If the minis
ter tells some cutting truth, or does
something that is not exactly in &C
cord with their way OF viewing
things, and does not do everything
just as they would like to have it,
they pettishly and sullenly Withdraw
their support. They cannot get rio
of him any other way; they cannot
rise up and kill him, the law will
not allow that, and they begin to
starve him out. They forget that
they are violating the golden rule,
disregarding duty to God and man,
and are responsible for it. This is
not only so with reference to the
ministry, but it is so with reference
to every calling and profession. The
school teacher is in critical danger.
My child is not treated right and |
will not send it anymore" One of
the greatest difficulties about this
cruel way of expunging men from
localities is that those who do it are
about nine times in ten in the wrong.
We do not know what course TO sug-
gest with such people, for they are
overgrown babes and will not bear
spanking" If anything is said to
them they sull and ''foam," and mani
fest disposition to become enlarged,
and 'heart crammed with arrogan
cy, spleen, and pride"
1.-THE selfish heart deserves the pain il feels.
More generous sorrow, while Il sinks, exalts
And conscious virtue mitigatea the Iang.'

NEEDED REFORM.

The leading papers Of the naAion
are now vigorously discussing the
powers and tendency Of our financial
system Tie present system is GER
tainly mt the best that could be in
augurated. Its defects are many
and glaring, and its tendency il
awful and calamitous. The trainers
OF the Constitution of the United
States, though men of great mental
Saliber, and unsurpassed powers of
did not apprehend the
awful tendency of the system. They
lived in an age that deprived them
of the advantages and experiments
OF civilization; an age that was not
fraught with cupidity and inordinate
ambition. A little over $4,000, 900
to be collected and disbursed
sufiiced for the wants of the govern
ment. Ofcourse this was an annual
collection and disbursement. Since
that time the extention of the bound
aries of the government, and the ac-
cumulation of revenue have been so
great, that $4,000, 000,0 600 a year are
gathered and expended TO carry on
the operations of this government.
This is too much money to be in the
hands of the executive department
of republican form of government,
in an age when cupidity and ambi-
ton reign supreme. A government
is not safe when its executive, vested
in one man-controls so much mon
ev, and if there is not reform In the
financial polity of the Union we will
soon reach critical and dangerous
crisis. Hon. Roswell b. Flower, of
New York, in a speech before CON
gress on the tariff question, init
mated the policy of paying state
debts with the overplus amount of
revenue. Mr.. Flowers doctrine was
thought to be collusive and danger
Gus, but it is now considered as
plausible by some Of the best think
ers Of the age. There is, however,
danger in such policy as that, for
il would be difficult to define exactly
and properly distribute and dlsburse
the funds. This is question that
should be ventilated before the next
meeting of congress, so that the pre-
liminary steps can be taken for re-
trenchment. Something must be
done with our financial system.

during the year the people Of this
city paid about 100000, and for
education about S4,000,000 Out Of

THE IMPETUOsITY OF THE
AGE.

One of the most alarming aspects
of the tendency of this age, is it's re-
sistless impetuosity, and great men
tai purturbability. Every man and
woman who expects to do anything
in the worlds broad arena, is in a
great hurry, so much so that there
is no time to do anything. There is
no time to educate; no time to learn
trades; no time for accomplishments;
no time for mental culture and pol
ished refinement. 1t used to take a
young man five years to go through
college curriculum, but now many
colleges will send him out in three.
and make him believe that he is edu

years to become an accomplished

but now she is graduate and ready
to play for church in three months.
The result of this is, that scholars
are scarce and musicians scarcer.
The fault lies at two doors. the
teachers and the parents. There is
only one successful way to teach

Mr.. KUHN makes serious charges
against the State University ut Fay
etteviIle, which if they are true,
need attention. He charges it up
with a species of fraud that is low
and fagltious, and il his charges can
be sustained, the trustees and facul
ty Of the University are getting
money under false pretences. 1t Is
hard to believe that those men would
be guilty of such things as they are
charged with, and there ought to be
some plan concocted to investigate
the condition Of the University, and
such things be true, rectify them.
We have heard these things, or some
of them IN reference to the Uniyer-
sity. and have been studIously gath
erng facts, or rather we have been
on the alert for facts, and as yet
have nothing but assertions. Is it
reasonable to withhold small ap-
preparation because the trustees and
faculty are accused Of crookcdness?
Is it judicious to refuse an approprl-
alton because the University is
charged with illegal proceedings? Is
it right to withdraw the support that
ought to go from the state to the
school because the University is rot
what it ought to be2 No intelligent
man will say Eyes" to these ques-
tions. If the University is not what
it ought to be, it IS the indispensa
bic duty of the state to make it
such, and it can only do that by Civ
Ing it handsome support. Because
Mr.. Kuhn could not carry a measure
for the development Of his own idea
of school system, he uses his inau
ence to defeat the provisions for the
University. No wonder the Univer
sity cannot accomplish its mission.
The Russellville Democrat. [volume] (Russellville, Ark.) 1875-1898, 1883-03-22

In another column will be found
an article from Hon. n. w. Kuhn in
reply to our notice Of his vote in the
Legislature. He says he cannot see
how we suppose he pledged himself
on the stump to vote against appro-
priations. Intelligent men who
heard Mr.. Kuhn speak say he pledg-
ed himself before the people to pur-
sue just the course that he has pur-
sued. Hence our supposition. We
did not say that Mr.. Kuhn was OPP
posed to education, but we did and
do say, that he voted against all APP
priations for the State University
and the Normal Branch at Pine
Bluff. The records show his vote.
Mr.. Kuhn is decidly mistaken when
he thinks we are "ruiiled" about the
matter, for we have nothing against
him whatever, and would have pre-
ferred talking to him pleasantly
about the matter if we had been in
reach of him. We have a right.
however, AMI it is our duty, to no
tice the course of our representative,
and we do it in the best of feeling.
That little Z. s., in which Mr.. Kuhn
proposes TO send us those vegetables
and fish is statesmanlike specimen
of generosity. As we arejust begin
ming to keep house we need such
articles, but we fear the appropria-
tion will be voted down. BE sure
and push the bill through as we need
such things, and we are sure they
will do US good.

years. In Giie first place child
learning music ought not 70 be al

twelve months rigid instruction. As
rule good musicians do not allow
their pupils to play pieces under
eight or teYmont.ls. Wchavc been

they are not able in few weeks to

the pupils imagine they know rs

suit is they never do know any

One who has been taught right can
play any piece without having to
spend an hour every day practicing.
This sad state Of affairs does not on

ONE of the most disgusting things
practiced by newspaper men is that
of forever filling the columns of their
papers with complimentary notices
made of them by other papers. Some
editors who have not been in the
business long, who never had any
compliments before, are so inordi
nately vain, that theyare contin-
ually Haunting before their readers
every compliment passed upon them
or their paper by others. This prac-
tice is utterly disgusting and intol-
cradle to the public, and should not
be indulged. The people do not
care what other people say about
their editor, they want the news.

AS to the Branch Normal at Pine
Bluff, it has to its credit $4,000 in
currency and $4,000 in interest
bearing state scrip, amounting to
some $4,000, which fact, when dis
covered caused the representatives
from Jefferson county to consent to
postpone the bill, asking an appro-
priation, this newly discovered
amount being over double the
amount asked for, and yet the Dem
ocRAT censures me because an addi-
ticnal appropriation was not made
to that institute. Further, / have
built in Pope county good school
house and furnished it at my own
expense that might serve my peo-
pie in expelling the dark cloud of
ignorance from our midst.

ONE feature in Mr.. Kuhn's com
munication that needs attention is
the plan adopted to get it to US. In
stead of sending it direct
to us he sent it to the post master,
a gentleman of the opposite party in
politics. Mr.. Kuhn claims to be q
stauneh democrat, and Mr. Bra
shear, the p. NJ, is staunch repub-
lican, and instead of directing his
communication to the editor, in whose
hands it must fall, and for whom it
was intended, he addresses it to Mr..
Brashear. There must be some
thing in this.

The man who wants to succeed
now must stir and keep string. The
fellow who sits down and waits for
something to turn up in this age of
hustle and hurry will never do any
thing, and never have anything. By
the way, did you ever think about
how few people own the property of
the world? Not more than five per
cent of the population OF this coun-
try own any land if their debts were
paid, and not more than 90 per cent
of them own anything at all. Did
you ever think about how few people
are doing anything in the world to-
ward making a living? How many
thousands never pretend to pay any
debts? Somebody has these debts to
pay, and in many instances they
amount to great deal. If then,
with all these influences around you,
and the pell nell of the hurrying
age, you sit down and whine and
wait for something to turn up, you
will be left wofully behind. Don't
make slaves of yourselves, for it is
not a day of slavery, but work mod
erately, and trade sparingly, and you
will be all right.

MIR. Kuhn's Explanation.
LIT1lr Rock, March II, 1883

EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
Some weeks since you, IN severe
terms, held me up in your paper as
In opposition to immigration, and in
your issue of the 18th inst, as in OPP
position to education and all appro-
priations, saying, "we suppose Mr..
Kuhn will justify his cause by say
ing that he pledged himself on the
stump to vote against all appropria-
tons" Why you could suppose this
i do not know, for it is well known
throughout the county that l advo
Gated liberal appropriations for all
charitable institutions of the state.
AS you have so thoroughly mis-rep-
resented me, hope you will allow
me- space in your paper TO place facts
before the people, in regard to the
matters referred to.
IMMIGRATION.
The bill before the committee on
immigration, Of which l am a mem
Der, was to create a bureau of immi-
grafton, to go in the old states and
appoint sub agents; to make arrange
ments with the several railroads
coming into the state, and many
other duties to perform, and the same
bill proposed to appropriate one hun
ired thousand dollars to carry out
its provisions. | opposed this bill
first, last and all the time, and the
editor of the DEMOCRAT is ruffled over
it. ] will say further, the bill Is de-
feated and ! am proud of the part ]
played, the editor OF the DEMOCRAT,
Notwithstanding to the contrary.
EDUCATION.
l am censured in the most severe
terms as being opposed TO education,
to which ! have to say, ] am a mem
Der of the committee on education,
which committee has worked hard to
work up better and more efficient
system OF common schools. The
committee drafted bill, looking to
tho education Of the masses in every
part of the state. This bill asked
for an appropriation of some twenty
five thousand dollars to organize and
systematic the free common schools.
The only tenablc way to educate the
masses is TO furnish schools in every
neighborhood and this has been my
highest ambition through life as
well as in the Arkansas legislature.
And here let me state emphatically,
that the members, in the main, chat
worked hardest to defeat this bill
were the ones that worked hardest
to secure from 80 TO 35 thousand
dollars To the State University. The
University has fifteen professors. ten
or twelve of whom do not teach in
the preparatory department at all,
and yet, there are less than fifty
students the higher branches,
thus making a professor, on high
salary, for every IA students. Be.
sides this professors or officers, en-
rolled forty students from Fayett
vile, contrary to law, in order to
have material to work on, according
to their own verbal report before the
committee on education. 1t has been
stated here that, in order to increase
their numerical value they enroll the
students in each class, which is
proper, but in taking the total from
these rolls cause some students to
be counted /, 2, 3 and four times as
the case may be, and while they

The ex-land commissioner, d. w.
Lear, has been set aside as a de-
faulter. His accounts have just
been examined by Joint committee
appointed by the senate and house
of the present legislature, and a
shortage of $4,000 has been shown.
There must be an excessive and ire
sistible fascination in monied office
that seizes man and perverts the
powers of his nature " lille the money
is passing through his hands. The
authorities ought to put the middle
of the law on these fellows and run
it to the extent of both ends. Moth

the crime will stop this high life

the action of the legislature in its

what puzzled over some OF its proceed
ure. For long time we could not
tell why Col. Embry played the part
he dld in the role of senatorial pro.
ceedings, but it is all plain now. In
the organization he opposed Mr..
Judkins to the presidency Of the
senate, and to retaliate, Mr..
Judkins put Col. Embry on
the tail end OF every committee SO
that he could not do anything be h.
never so DESTROYS. President Jud.
kins showed the extreme littleness
of his make up by placing Col. EN-
bry on the tail end Of all these com.
mittees, and treated this district
shamefully. If he had any magma.
nimity about HIM he would not have
stopped so low. Col. Embry has
had his hands tied during the whole
session and has not been able to put
any important measure through the
senate, and all because Judkins chose
to place him on the committees a.
he did. We do not blame Col. En-
bry for not introducing any bills be
fore the senate. Our district has
been made neutrality by the action
of the president of the senate.
