The Driver RllI.

The Searcy Beacon, a very clear
headed contemporary, says of the
Driver revenue bill:
Senator J. B. Drivers revenue
bill is, in our opinion, good one,
Judging from hasty examination
we have given it, and we trust the
Legislature will have the wisdom to
see it in that light and speedily en-
act it into a law. Under its provis-
ions the tax-dodger, of whom so
much complaint has been heard, can
be brought up to the rack of duty,
" fodder or no fodder" if the county
assessor will but do his duty; and if
he (the assessorl fails, there is ample
law to meet his case. In fact, under
its provisions, we believe all the
lame points in the existing law are
provided for, each and every county
officials duty clearly and explicitly
defined, so that there can be no mis-
take in determining what he is re-
quired to do. If this bill becomes a
law, and its provisions are fully and
faithfully carried out, the state and
the counties will be better off much
better off in the matter of revenue.
Hence we say let the Driver bill pass.
The Osceola times., 1883-03-03

THE bill introduced by Hon. f.
G. McGavack contemplating a new
Constitution, and calling a conven-
tion for that purpose, was defeated a
few days since, the legislature wise
ly regarding it as useless and ex-
pensive luxury; one, the state can i'll
afford at the present time. Consti-
tutions as general rule, and at best,
are defective; and as they are the
creations of a spirit of compromise,
must always remain defective. A
clause or section approved by one, is
sure to meet the opposition of anoth-
er. The strongest argument in fa-
vor of our present Constitution is the
fact that the people themselves have
made no demand for new one; in
fact, if we were a sporting man, we
wouldn't hesitate to bet that not more
than 20 per cent of the population of
the state have ever given the subject
a thought, or ever saw a copy of the
present constitution. We must not
anticipate and ride too far ahead OF
the progress and needs of the state,
but rather, tag close up behind her.

The matter of the State printing
contract which is being investigated
by the Legislature, is becoming inter-
essing. The newspaper men who
were awarded the contract are kick
ing like plantation mules at the re-
port of the committee, who reported

by law, in letting out the job; in the
meantime, the True Democrat, evil
IDENTIFY disappointed in having no

almost to death at the fun. 1t is not

the gentlemen who received the con-
tract at 30 to 40 per cent. less than
the law says they might have charg-
ed, would knowingly or willfully do
dishonorable act; no more do we
believe the gentlemen of the legisla-
ture, who were assigned the duty of
investigating the matter, are "pre'

the Democrat. Bare assertions un-
less bolstered with an array of un-
impcached testimony, amounts to

Mr.. j. NJ. WHITEHALL, of Arkan-

kansas to submit an amendment to
the people with the Holiord bond
amendment, so that the constitution
will be amended to enable the Coun-
ty Courts of the counties of Chicot,
Desha, Phillips, Crittenden, Missis-
sippi, Lee and jefferson (that have
river front to protect by leveos) to
levy an additional ad vatOyem tax for
levee purposes only. These coun-
ties could by this means in very
few years have such levees as would
protect their lands and thus add
greatly to the products and wealth
of the State at large, and in return
be a source of revenue from the tax
es that would accrue upon the in
creased valuation of land and other
property by reason of such protec-
tion.-Ex.
Such an amendment, we feel con-
iident would meet unanimous sup
port and ratification by the people
living in the now overhowed coun-
ties above mentioned. Let US have
the amendment to the AmendMENT.
The Osceola times., 1883-03-03

The following is an extract from a
sermon of Father Phelan, of St. Lous,
editor OF the Western Watchman.
1t is about as good an answer 20 In
gersolism as we have seen:
If there is no hereafter, then life
is one long debauch, and the highest
education is to know how to find and
how best to enjoy pleasure. If there
is no hereafter, virtue is a deceit and
heroism is a lie. See that Young
man bleeding from hundred wounds
He died in defense of sisters
honor. If there is no hereafter, that
noblestof deeds will go unrewarded.
See that young sister in the hospital
bending over victim of the plague
tomorrow she will succumb, and a
hasty sepulturc will reward her de-
votion. If there is no hereafter, her
charity met sorry requital. See that
man holding an alirighted child at
the window of a burning building.
He holds it long enough for a sturdy
companion to grasp it from below,
and he then falls back into his fiery
tomb. If there is no hereafter, such
sacrifice is heartless and unmeaning
cruelty. See that troop Of soldiers
marching by the beating of the drum.
Their country has called, and they
go forth to defend her honor on the
battle field. They follow that flag
into the thick of the fight, and when
the bugle sounds the retreat, few re-
turn from the carnage. Those brave
soldiers died, their face to the foe.
and smile was stamped on their
features in death. If there is nc
hereafter, their heroism was suicide
and their courage was mpckery OF
fate. Earthly life is closed in death,
the grave terminates all consort and
association with things of time, but,
waited above the bier, the wreck, the
tomb, floats the sweet voice of God
saying: " am the life."
