AFTER every season Of depresslt

AFTER every season Of depression
comes season of prosperity. 1t IL
hoped, and we are inclined to think
that the season of prosperity is now
almost ready to dawn upon US. We
utter this we know in the face Of q
good many ugly facts which seem t.
argue against it, such facts for in
stance as the custom Of giving mort
cages, to buy goods on credit, and
the scarcity of money, etc. But we
don't think it can be doubted that
our county i. nearer selfsupporting
now than ever before. The gener.
Atty of the people have the lesson
about learned that their subsistence
must be produced at home--that ag
ricu.turists cannot afford to buy
farm products to live upon--that
corn, meat, and whatever enters into
the farmers consumption must be
raised by the farmer himself. When
this Is fixed fact among our farm
ers, the day OF prosperity dawns,
and not before.

A RECENT trial of sentiment was
made By a gentleman in tswn as re
CARDS Mr.. Fishback for U. s. Sena-
tor. Fifty men, the first he saw, and
inst as be come to them, were inter
viewed, and out of the number only
three or four were for Mr.. Fishback.
This is a pretty fair reflex Of public
sentiment in this couaty as 70 that
gentleman for that position. Nc

THE election for assessor last Sat
urday passed of quietly, and result
cd all right, of course. as John A.
Hickman was heard to answer to the
peoples call by good majority.
The old democratic banner fioated
proudly to the breeze, ana Mr.. Aus
tins vipdication didn't pan out worth
q cent. Well, this is the last cleo
top for assessor in Pope county this
term. We have a man now who will
give bond and do the work also. 1t
was a good days work for the peo-
pie Of Pope county. They could not
have elected a better man than Mr.,
Hickman nor taught officials better
lesson than the one taught Mr.. Aus
tin--thst when q man is elected he
is expected TO give bond, or suffer
the consequences. Altogether the
people are to be congratulated upon
the issue of the election.

sentiment in this county IS practl
cally solid for Berry. The petition
was forwarded 70 Little Rock, Mon
day, and will doubtless be of service
to our representatives. in guiding
their judgement in a choice for U.

course in the last race, his faithful

TIE Sheriff of Pope county has
nearly all of her public revenue in
his pocket. In case he wss a rascal
and wanted to embezzle it what re.
course would the people have? Why
his bondsmen Of course. The PEG,
pie know the sheriff of this county
has good bond and they feel secure
But suppose official bonds are abol
ished what recourse would the peo
pie then have? Nothing but Grim
inal prosecution. Would that bring
any revenue back2 Would it keep
of double taxes to make up the de.
ficiencles? The people are interest
ed to have their public money which
is collected from their hard earnings
secured by every possible guaran'
tee. Don't talk to them about the
adjustment Of official bonds-aboul
placing their public funds at the
mercy of officials. 1t would be q
fool-hardy legislature that would
dare do such thing.
The Russellville Democrat., 1885-03-19
THERE is no argument used


THERE is no argument used in
favor of making embezzlement Of
public funds felony punishable by
imprissa msnt in the penitentiary,
that could not be used just as well
without embracing the adjustment
OF official bonds. This would throw
additional safeguards around the
public funds which the people would
approve. But no sensible argument
can be used for turning public reve'
nues into green pastures for the pur.
pose Of grazing official dishonesty
and fattening rascals.

which claims the color OF reason as
signed by those who favor the abol-
lshment of Official bonds and we have
found not one that could be called q
solid, sensible reason for such rad
ical change. The greatest reason
assigned for the bill is found In its
preamble and refers to the difficulty
of collecting money involved in Of
fetal delinquency. But how in the
name of common sense it could help
matters to abolish all possible chance
of Indemnity in cases OF delinquen-
cy is more than mortal can compre-
bend. The rather should measures
be adopted to make indemnity GER
tain and then put The rascal in the
penitentiary also. This accords
with the logic of sense, and with the
sentiments of the people as we'll.
Difficulty of collecting monies, in
deed We would like to know where it
is not difficult TO collect money in
the hands of dishonest men, and es-
pecially In Arkansas. But hsw can
it be wise or sensible to reason that
because it is difficult to indemnify
therefore we will abolish any chance
Of indemnity altogether Official
bonds are the only security the peo-
Pile have against rascals. Abolish
them and then imagine the picnic,
OF you can, which would be set for
official dishonesty There are tempt
atoms enough in the way Of public
officials already. For goodness sake
don't add any more, and especially
since 1t is proposed to be entirely at
the peoples expense. The bill takes
in its compass state, county and mu-
nicipal bonds. Why did it not &c
the whole length; for, if it is good
policy at all, it must be good policy
all through. Ii bonds are useless
for state, county and municipal Of
ficers, why not for administrators,
guardians and all other persons who
assume public trusts. Why not en-
act such law as would completely
reyolutionize our business basis, and
let all matters which have hitherto
been transacted upon the lucas oil
reimbursement stand on The same
bottom. Ii you rob the people Of
the right to demand adequate secu-
rity fer their public revenues, why
retain the idea of indemnity in bus
mess at all. But allow the remark
Just here, that when you see the
business men of our country parting
with their means without any clue to
get them back or our county courts
appointing administrators of val
liable Wills and estates without ex.
acting security, or capitalists lending
money without security, although
the power existed in thousand fold
to punish delinquencies by terms in
the peniteatiary which would last
forever, when you see these things
then il will be time to conclude that
the people ought to place their pub
lie funds in the hands of men with
out exacting any of the conditions
of indemnity whatever, and not till
then. We have heard of many poor
things, but we think the poorest
thing under heaven would be the
satisfaction, If such it would be, OF
spending two or three thousand dol
lars to eaten and penitentiary ras
cally officer who had stolen twenty
or thirty thousand dollars. We dis
