Senator Mcconnell Stand Up

Senator Mcconnell stand Up!
Washington Press.
The Little Rock Republican, re
fering to the stealing of the railroad
bill from the Senate on the eve ol
Its passage, says:
I'VE heard gentleman say the
other day that he saw it done. and
we told him If he would give the
name we would publish it; but he
did not do it. He stated, however
that the Senator from whose desk II
was taken was cognizant OF the theft
In fact got up and walked AVA,
and remarked: "There is the bill;
take it and do what you please with
it," A prominent railroad man was
sitting near, but of course he did not
take the bill"
Possibly the theft may be run
down yet. Who was the SENATOR
He ought to- be held up to eterna
infamy, and publicly expelled in
disgrace from the Legislature, if he
holds over.

The city council of Little Rock
on the 7th inst, passed an ordinance
assessing what they call an occupa
tion tax upon the mechanics, arts
ans, tradesmen, merchants, etc, in
order to furnish means TO pave the
streets of the city. This is an art
full dodge to improve the property of
the property owners of'the city and
enhance its value at somebody elses
expense. Tradesmen and artisans
and all those who earn their daily
bread by the sweat of their brow
have hard enough time any way
without having to contribute of their
muscle 10 the enhancement of CAPT
tai invested in brick blocks and
brown stone fronts. The principle
OF such an ordinance is wrong, mis-.
erably wrong and unjust.

If there ever was a man perso

Ii there ever was a man person
ally responsible for his administra-
tion of the government of the United
States, who asked nor gave any boot
to any man or set of men, in the Sc
lection of government officials, that
man is President Cleveland. Tam
many's endorsement or opposition,
or any other man or set of mems
favor or frowns, is not sufficient to
compass special appointments OF
special men to office. The Presi-
dent has the reins and drives the
machine. All applicants for the
lines of the administration machine
are politely bowed to as the Presi-
dent drives on acting his own coach
man and doing his own driving If
you please. The administration is
evidently more TO, bushes than pop
ularity. The appointments of the
President are resented, not for want
Of excellence, but because they are
not in the line of reward. There
a little bitter now, but it's the bitter
bud that will give place to the sweet
flower after while.

THE Globe Democrat is mad be-
cause the administration is talking
about wedding out the Mahoneites in
Virginia, and wants to know what
they have done. The proper ques:
tion is what haven't they done2
Their very existence adyertises the
most bastard and shocking methods
In politics, and so Extensively person
al and corrupt, that their existence
should be wiped out at once.

A HEAYY street car strike

A HEAVY street car strike was in
progress in Chicago for two weeks,
up to the Sth, when compromise
was effected. Its proportions were
so large as to almost defy police au-
thority. 1t was only one of several
that might be noted in various parts
of the country, and IN various trades.
One remarkable thing is that they
all occurred in the north.

That man is benefactor and en-
titled TO great praise and respect
who goes among the people and caus-
es them to think more of one another,
who inspires confidence and respect
among neighbors; and that man is
dangerous and bad man whose in
fiuence is spent to put strife among
the people and bone Of contention
between neighbors, and who learns
a nelghborhood To suspect one anoth-
er. He is fire brand who goes into
a country that Is at peace and good
understanding ard sets it BY the
ears, let his professions be what they

THE Trustees of the Arkansas Ii

The Trustees of the Arkansas In
dustrial University have made q
complete reorganization of the facul
ty in that institution. They made a
clean sweep of the professors former
ly employed and consolidated several
chairs reducing the number from
seven to five. The new faculty is as
follows:
Ancient Languages-Prof r. III.
Willis, Jr., of Savannah, Ga.
Chemistry, Mineralogy and Geol-
ogy--Prof. Purinton of West Vir-
ginia.
Pure Mathematics and Logic
Prof. Z. II. Murfee, of Pass Chris
tian, Miss.
Applied Mathematics, Engineer
ing and Commandant oil Cadets
Prof. j. NJ. Whitman, of Port Repub.
lie, Md.
Modern Languages-Prof. Howard
Edwards.
1t is to be hoped the University
will enter upon new era of pros
perity. Much of the evil would
have been avoided il the board had
applied little OF this heroic treat
ment year sooner, and especially to
the chairs of Chemistry and Physics,
English and History and Modern
Languages, but it is better late than
never. Now it remains for this new
faculty to keep aloof from the Fay.
etteyille ring and let the institution
take on state airs and drop its local
habiliments.

THERE are many strange anomn-
hes In society. but none more SO
than the one which requires more Of
young ladies' than gentlemen. A
young man need not be handsome,
need not sing, play or be intelligent
He may De positively dull and al.

society, as 10 shown in many In
stances, especially the young man

THERE were several teachers in
the State University who were com.
plete success, but it was just like q
board that was afraid at one time ia
do anything at all, at another to
sweep everything regardless as to
whether it was best or not Very
little healthful discrimination in
such course as that. But we hope
the new start may terminate in a
successful run.

Revised Bible.
No. 3.

The revised bible is better book
than the authorized version because
it more accurately conveys the
teachings of the Holy Ghost as he
spake through the prophets. The
reason for this is, that the revisers
had before them the light and
knowledge Of the ripest scholars in
The world, not only of the present
time, but for nearly 800 years. The
accumulation of biblical lore during
the 275 years that have elapsed
since the King James translation
was issued, is enormous. Some OF
the ripest scholars OF every genera
tioa, both in the old world and the
new, have given their entire time
and talents TO biblical study, TO a
search for and investigation of all
the ancient manuscripts. canoDical
and otherwise, that would shed any
light on the TExTUs REcEpTus. In
connection with these things there
has been IN the last ten years a very
marked revival in the study
of the Hebrew language,
and also OF the other ancient Shem.
tito languages, Syrian, Chaldaic, etc.
The recent reyiser have all these
advantages to aid them in giving to
the world the word of God in its
original simplicity and purity. We
could not expect then, that as hon
est, faithful, God serving scholars,
the reyisors could give the world
anything else than the pure word of
God. We will notice some of the
improvements that were made, prin.
clpally by omission:
/. The titles Of the chapters have
been omitted. The King James
translators substituted these titles,
did it in good faith. but it served a
bad purpose, because many of them
are misleading. They we're not in
the original, and their omission is
certainly an improvement
2. The revision is net yersed,
that is there are no verses in the
prose part of it. This is an improve
ment because the old version has
been considered epigramma.ic anu
fragmentary by many cursory read
ers. By taking verse here and one
there strange conclusions have been
reached. The Bible from first to
last is a harmonious system and
should be so regarded. The mum
bers are retained for the sake OF ref
erence.
8. The poetic part is in verse.
This is an improvement from two
considerations. Everybody will be
able to distinguish the poetic part OF
the Bible from the prose. II brings
out the delicate shades of thought
more clearly.

Hobbies of the Hygienists.

There were several dozen of the
hygienists in council. each with his
individual hobby. Each thought all
the others were wrong. Each was
sure that his own hobby was the
only correct one. A gentleman
present said he had taken Brown
Iron Bitrers for debility and dyspep
STA, and though he didn't want to
make fuss about 1t he knew the
use OF this great tonic to be better
than all the notions be had heard
advanced in the council. One prac-
tical cure Is worth thousands OF
gucsses and notions. Thousands OF
happy conyalescents speak CRATE
fully OF Browns Iron Bitters.
