We were there two days, and the waiter
was vigilant, humble and willing; but as
we made ready to depart on the morning
of the third, in comes a constable to ar
rest the Judge for threats Of personal Vlo-
lsnce. 1t had been sworn out before a
justice ten miles away and the complain
ant was the negro waiter.
1t took the two of US to hold the Judge
down on his back during the first parox
ysm, and when he had cooled off little
the negro slipped into his room and SAID;
"White man, stand up! Now | want

FREE PASSES,
nous.

We do not believe that the free pass
has an undue influence with members OF
the legislature-in many cases. But 1t
causes legislators to leave their business
and 90 home VIXEN they should remain at
their work. If they had to pay their own
travelling expenses they would travel but
little.-Arkansas Democrat.
The legislator who may be purchased
by free pass is generally worth much
less than the price of one, and his inhu'
ence among nen is not generally impor-
tant enough to be sought by the swarm
of railroad magnates who are supposed to
nfest the lobby of our state legislature
1t has been custom of railroad compa.
MES to grant the courtesy of a free pass
to legislators, judges end other public
men, for many years past, and while
there have been many corrupt Legislators
and legislatures before and since the
custom obtained, there is not singl case
on record where it has been shown that a
member has been corrupted by free
pass. A free pass cannot corrupt pure
man, nor can corrupt one be benefited
by with holding it from him.
As to whether a member remains at his
post or travels back and forth, it concerns
only his constituency, and he is generally
held to an awful accountability for all
errors. A member of legislature is not
much meaner than the ordinary run Of
men, and when given chance, they
sometimes reform.

A NEW CONSTITUTION.

Joint resolutions for seyetal amend
ments to the constitution have been offered
in the general assembly, not the least
important of which is the one offered by
Mr.. Taylor, of Dorsey county, proposing
10 amend the exemption clauses. A change
in these provisions offers The only effect
i've remedy against the mortgage system
now becoming SO edious to the people
throrghout the state. The constitutional
provision, which in effect declares very
large majority Of the citizens Of cur state
insolyent, has been, and is the prolific
source of many evils, including the mort
gage system. No merchant or tradesman
is blameable for securing advances made
by the aid Of a mortgage, nor should any
one be blamed who is forced to make
himself solvent by that means. 1t is net
the will of the people that the system Is
tolerated. Necessity under these laws
forces the people into it; but we fear that
it will be many years before the method
adopted by Mr. Taylor will bring about
the much coveted result desired, Our
recollection of the persistent, unceaslng
efforts it required to adopt amendment
No, l convinces us that it is hardly prob
ahIa that another amendment will be
adopted without many years Of persistent
fort The substance of Mr, Taylor
amendment has been proposed at nearly
every session of the Legislature since
1874. Our member, Mr.. Sam II. David.
son, proposed it both in the sessions Of
1877 and '79; but the legislature paid but
little attention to it then. The remedy
then for this, as well as for many
other evils we might mention, lies in
calling . constitutional convention For
instance our legislature meets too often
Suppose we had new constitution pro
viding for quadrennial instead Of bienni-
al sessions? TIE cost of the convention
would be saved at once. Our Judiciary
requires overhaaling. County matters
should have attention. In fact, Arkan.

BAD GRAMMAR.

An Ohio school teacher went over to a
country district in Indiana to engrait
little knowledge upon the youthful
sprouts in that vicinity, and one OF the
school trustees used such bad grammar
that the Buckeye pedagogue was threat
eped with Mysteries. After two or three
weeks he felt that he knew the trustee
well enough to speak to him about it.
"Why is it," he asked, shat you per-
sist in saying have saw have came,
'knowed,' and other things equally as un-
grammatical?0
because l was teached that way by
nv parents" replied the trustee.
"But, good heavens, man, you should
know better than to continue numbering
the English in that horrible style"
Look here, young man." replied the
trustee, hotly, I've got right to murder
the English" "
NO You haven't
