There is one fault among the
republicans both white and COL
ored of this state, who have not
been in the habit OF running news
papers successfully. That is, they
think because a man calls himself
a republican, they expect the
newspaper to champion his cause
gratuitously and let the wind
carry the newspaper. 1t should
be remembered when the aspir
ant gets his office be has no fur
ther use for the newspaper until
he wants to be elected again, and
all newspaper men who under
stand their position must take a
firm stand and let the party run
the paper, not the paper run the
party. Those who pay or comply
with our rules, will certainly get
the preference of our columns, as
it takes big money to run a news
paper and when its influence is
needed is it's only harvest. "Stick
your pin here"

THE u. s. LAND OFFICE AT
LITTLE ROCK.

Hon. NJ. w. Gibbs has nearly
served out his second term of four
years as Register OF the U. S.
Land office in this city. He was
appointed during President Hayes
administration, and the examiner
of land offices has paid the Office
several visits and always reported
everything correct. Though when
the Office was run by his predeces-
sor, Gen. j. f. Pagan, as receiver
OF public monies, matters were
not too satisfactory to the depart
ment at Washington, but for no
fault on the part of the register.
This trouble arose from the care
lessness of the receiver, who neg
lected his business and allowed
the public monies to be misap-
propriated until the deficits of
the Office amounted to over $4,000,
and the Office got in a very bad
condition. General Pagan him.
self, perhaps, was not good ac-
countant, saw no way to make
proper reports to the department.
The clerks of the different cOun-
ties had sent homesteaders money
to him to make entry and no
money nor entry could be ac-
counted for by HIM, hence the
poor homesteaders were defrauded
out of their money. From COM
plants made to the department
an examiner was sent to look
after the matter, who recommend
ed the rcm oval of General Pagan,
which was accordingly done and
Mr.. G. f. Kelsey, who had been
a resident in the state three years
previously, was appointed to fill
the vacancy as receiver of public
monies.
MIR. Kelsey is first class ac-
countant and thorough business
man, who never neglects his bu-
siness for pleasure, He taken
hold of the office about three years
ago and by prompt attention to
land seekers and homestead ers of
United States land, has met with
great success in locating settlers
and bringing large numbers of
immigrants to the state, and has
made good to the department
nearly all of the deficiencies OF
the Office that existed when he
took possession of it.
The United States land depart
ment of Little Rock. with Hon.
Nj. w. Gibbs as Register. and
G. E. Kelsey as Receiver Of Pub.
lie Money, is second to no other
Land office in the country. A
short time ago United States land
office examiner, G. w. Holcomt,
made thorough investigation OF
the books and accounts and found
everything in first class condition
and SO reported to the Department
of the Interior, that no office in
the country was in better clerical
condition.
We have had occasion to visit
the Office regularly for the last
two years and never found it in
bad condition, All information
could readily be referred to, and
everything is kept in a thoroughly
business like manner. We con,
scienciously believe that the gov.
ernment could not place better
men in that department. They
give satisfaction to all with whom
they come in contact.

Editor Mansion:
Dear Sir-Will you perm:t me
space, after carefully reading
your very instructive columns,
issue of esd ult., TO insert the fol-
lowing. We live in progres-
sive age and III "a country OF edu-
cation and refinement of the
highest degree. Ours is IA land
of colleges, of universities and OF
schools of all grades. We are
living in an age and country in
which all arts and science are cher
ished and fostered, and if we ever
expect to be a race Of people wor-
thy of notice in this enlightened
age and country, we will have to
grasp these great educational IA
cilities that surround US and util-
ize them for our own improve;
ment and for the education and
Improvement of our rising gen
Grafton. 1t is a well known fact
that education is sadly neglected
by large number of our people.
They do not seem to understand
and appreciate the great value of
education to themselves and their
children. Il man or woman who
is willing to turn his or her child
out upon the cold mercies of this
world without any education
whatever, thereby virtually con-
sents to make it plant and will
ling tool for others. We are un-
der obligations to God, to our
neighbor and to ourselves as men,
bers of society, to educate our
children. Oh, how many diff
culties and troubles, we as a race,
might avoid were we educated.
How can we have good society
among us unless we acquire II
knowledge of what it takes to
constitute good society educa-
tion and proper training supplies
the much needed knowledge
among us. "Happy is that man
that findeth wisdom, and the
man that getteth understanding.
Length of days are in her right
hand, and in her left riches and
Lonor. Her ways are ways Of
pleasantneas and all her paths are
peace"
Yours for good,

Early Rising-

There are certain people who seem to
believe that early rising constitutes the
whole difference between the enterpris-
ing and the idle, the yirtuous and the
indiferently good, and who resemble the
Bishop who, when he rose early, twas
proud all the morning and
sleepy all the afternoon. As
u rule, we find that those who rise with
the lark make amends by snatching a
nap during the day-the spirit is will
ing. but the flesh is weak; and why,
may we ask, is it any wiser, healthier,
or more virtuous to sleep at one hour
of the day than at another, to take it
piecemeal than to do it all up at once,
while you have your hand in, so to
speakp The early riser is often drop
ing off to the land of Nod in her chair,
over her book OF work, making up for
lost time, when it would seem better to
be wide awake, with ones wits on the
alert; and she invariably speaks with
disdain of those who do not share her
habit as 'tshiftless people" to whom a
surprise is rare exhibition, and who
pretend to say that sunset is more to
their taste. No doubt there is some
thing to be said in favor of early rising;
when it has been tried occasionally by
its opponents, the earth has seemed so
fresh and dewy, the air so sweet, the
sky so deep and luminous, that
they have decided never to waste
such precious hours between the sheets
again; but the next morning, as they
turn on their pillow for that last deli
cious nap, they confess that early rising
has been oyer-estimated, that it is only
the old, who can not sleep, or the labor
ing classes, who must rise betimes or
starve, who recommend it, because
they would fain believe that what they
are oblige todo is the best and pleas
ATTEST. Although Boswellwished that
some medicine might be inventedwhich
would make one rise without pain, it il
doubtless easy enough to get up early
if there is sufficient inducement foI
such rash step; we can all the muster
for an excursion; we can-rise with the
lark, if there is only lark in vlew1sbai
the habit is to be discouraged. as foster
ing self9conceiE and anunchristian idea
that we are better than our sleepy
neighbors. 1t is seldom that we meet
an early riser who is not pufed up by
his own exceeding superiority, as If the
custom proved him one of the elect. II
may be urged that at least he has more
time to devote to business or pleasure;
buff tits true, as most physicians assert,
that mankind demands eight or nine
hours sleep, he must go to bed earlier,
and thus abridge his time at the Other
end Of the day, or, by taking too little
sleep shorten the days of his life. =
