THERE is not radical rantanker-

but the ascetic editor of the Globe
Democrat, who could carry his hate
to the extent Of making Cleveland
visit to New York 10 meet in consul
tation some of the leaders of his par
ty--to talk of the policies of the in,
coming administration Of the gov
eminent, an occasion to vent his
spite in sckly attempt to connect
the date of this visit with that of
the time of the meeting of the dele
gates at Montgomery, Ala, in 1861
to form the Confederacy, in a way
to try to bring odium upon the dem
ocratic party and upon the admins
tration OF its president elect. 1t
would take a thousand years IN the
ficrcest flames of purgatory to burn
out the deeD lines Of hate from the
innermost soul of this bitter and
disappointed radical. But for once

ton where she can look with com
pacency upon all such disgruntled

ONLY about three weeks remains
between this writing and the time
when for the first time since James
Buchanan, democrat will be inaug-
urated into the presidential office.
1t is singular that not single cabi-
net appointment is yet known GER
tainly. A few names like Garland's,
Bayards, Randall's, McDonald's,
Pendleton's and two or three others
are talked of in connection with cab
met positions, in way TO indicate
tue belief that they will be chosen
in this capacity, but knowledge is
not certain, and really, Mr., Cleye-
land has kept his eounsels so well
that his appointments after all the
talk, will be watched for with a
great deal of interest TO see, If any
of the names in his cabinet occur in
the places where popular belief had
located them. There never was a
man who kept his counsels better
than the new democratic president
elect. Nor time so near the IN
auguration of new president when
AS little was positively known as to
the make up Of the new cabinet.

Up to this time very little has been
consummated by the Legislature. A
good deal has been proposed, but not
much finished. Perhaps this is the
best record the Legislature could
make. 1t wouldn't be very bad
idea for it to do nothing at all, ex-
cept it be possible to reduce taxa
ton. This thing of ehopping up, OF
attempting to, a digest before any
body in the state outside of the leg
islature scarcely has seen it, may be
q pleasant pastime, but it strikes
the people at large as little previ-
Gus. The longer we live the more
we are convinced that we do not
need any great amount of legisla
ton, and this thing of eternally
changing and enacting and repeal
ing, has a bad tendency, and we are
not certain but that quadrennial ses
sions of the legislature would be bet
ter than biennial, for it would give
the people more time to test the vir-
tues of the laws enacted, and enable
them to repudiate the bad and re-
tain the good. How would it do for
some patriotic member to put this
measure through, to fix the session
of the Legislature every four years.
A session not to be longer than 1t
now is. BY this arrangement Arkan-
sas would get all the Legislation she
needs, and she would have clear
saving to the people OF the expense
of one session, or $4,000, as that is
the amount appropriated for this
session.

JONES OF ARKANSAS.
Al Western Sketch Of Our New
Senator.

[Chicago Tribune Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, Feb 3.--Senator
elect, Jones of Arkansas is the third
Jones who has reached a place in the
senate. There IS only one Brown
there. Smith for long time ha s
not been represented in the Senate.
The Jones family appear to be very
successful in political way. There
are four men named Jones in the
present House. They are from Wis
consin, Texas, Arkansas and Ala
bama. Jones of Arkansas, who has
| lust been elected to the senate, is o.
man of very retiring DISPOSITION.
He is still quite young-much young
er than men are usually when they
reach the senate. He is only 40
years OF age. Better than this, he is
a poor man and does not come into
that body as the representative OF
anv corporation. He is planter
and lawyer, two occupations which
are commonly united among south
ern leaders. He was brought into
prominence by Speaker. Carlisle. He
| has served one term in congress be-
fore the present one, and had attrac-
ted but little notice. Every one was
surprised when Mr.. Carlisle put him
upon the ways and means commit
tee. The selection was amply Justi-
fled, however, by Jones subsequent
record. He was one o. the most
studious members of the committee.
He was second to none in point OF
| influence. He is a man of infinitely
more character and strength than
William r. Morrison Although he
is a pronounced revenue refofmer he
is yet so thoroughly conservative
that he would be incapable OF advo-
eating Or pushing extreme measures.
Jones is q man Of over six feet in
height. He is broad shouldered,
deep. chestsd and large boned. His
head 5 large and is still well cover
ed with thick growth of closely
trimmed brown hair. His COMPLEX
ion is the dead sallow color of the
people OF the and southwest. His
features are rugged and strong. His
eyes are u hceh StHy si"S' LIS ~
head is wide and high, showing
strong perceptive powers. His face
and expression are as stoical as those
of an Indian. There are gravity
and dignity about his manner, TOO,
which are suggestive of an aborigi-
nal chief. He certainly will make
his mark in the senate. He IS better
fitted for the ealmer atmosphere OF
che senate than for the turbulent at
mosphere of the house. He is per-
haps the only southern man in con-
grcss to- day who has served through
the late war rs Il confederate with
out holding a commission. In the
sketch which he gives OF himself i'll
the congressional directory he says:
"was a private soldier during the late
unpleasantness OH the losing side.'
This is the only allusion that he
makes TO his war record. There is
only one ex. confederate in congress
who served as a private IN the late
war. This is Senator Coke, of Tex
as He however, rose to the rank of
captain before the rebellion closed.

LONDON, Feb. 4 The leader of
this evenings Pail Nal! Gazette, adj
yocatlng political alliance between
Great Britain and the United States,
attracts the attention of the Ameri-
can republic. The Gazette says:
"Now at last we are beginning to
have foreign policy. The doctrine
of complete isolation so long main.
tanned by American statesmen has
persisted. Minister Kasson's pres
ence and activity in the Berlin con
ference on the Congo question must
be taken as portent OF things.
America will continue to exert great
and increasing influence in the
work of pacifying Africa. The re-
public will ere long claim admittance
into European areopagus. When
ever dealing with questions pertain
ing to interest outside the bounda-
ries of the European continent.
England's duty therefore, is to make
the most of this great fact. Blood is
thicker than water The United
States is England's natural ally. AT
ter the federation of the British en-
pire there will remain for British
statesmen no task compared in I'M
portance to that Of the confusion OF
the alliance between Great Britain
and the great republic which sprang
from England's leins. This alliance"
the article concludes, " viii! be as
close and useful to the two great
English-speaking people as that be-
tween Australia and Germany.
The above will serve to illustrate
the changes which time brings to
nations and peoples. Time was when
proud England would have secuted
such an idea as an alliance with
these United States, but now she
comes counting such project. Let
Uncle Samuel beware OF any entah.

WE think it is a fact beyond dis
pute, that the sentiment of Pope
county is in favor of a constitutional
amendment, abolishing, or if not
abollshing altogether, radical cut
ting down of the exemption provis-
ions of the constitution. The PEG.
pie favor this as the nearest cut to
get nd of the mortgage system. We
think it would be measure tina,
would meet the universal approval
of the people, to submit such an
amendment to the constitution To
the voice of the people. The people
feel the hardships OF the mortgage
law, and long for its extinction, that
is, it's prevalence in business, and
yet they realize it as an actual ne
cessity so long as property can be
scheduled under an exemption
clause. We would he pleased to
hear from some of our good citizens
on this question while the legisla.
ture is in session.

A resolution requesting the Ar
kansas delegation in congress to urge
the opening up Of unoccupied lands
in the Indian Territory for settle
ment passed the senate yesterday by
a unanimous vote. The necessity
for opening the Indian Territory is
pressing. The present system OF
dealing with the remnants of Indian
tribes should have been abandoned
long ago. The Indians should be
come citizens, and be invested with
the rights, privileges and response
biiities of citizens.-Gazette.
No other policy except the one
here indicated can ever hereafter ex-
pect to carry on its face the stamp
of reason or common sense. The
time has long gone by to deal with

The strange idea has been talked
for some time by some Of the state
press of abolishing bonds for state
and county officials and make them
amenable only TO the criminal law
in cases Of official delinquency. We
see bill to this effect introduced by
Mr.. Tobey of this county. What
would the people Of this state think
of legislature that would make it
possible for their state and county
officials to rob them without any re
course whatever al personal securi-
ty under the safe guards of law, such
as is ordinarily and universally en-
ployed among men to secure one an
other ia their business transactions
The people of the state have little
enough protection now, and what
would 1t be with all bonds abolish
ed? 1t would be poor sort of sat
lsfaction after you had been robbed
out, to convict q dishonest office
holder and put him in the penitenti-
airy. Would that bring your money
back, or offset your taxes to make
good the deficit? And then on top
of his stealing you would have TO 60
30 the expense of pursuing, arrest
ing and paying witness fees, lawyers
fees, etc, to convict him, and people
in this county know something of
these things. They would as soon
let thief go as try to convict hmm
the courts. If you want to make an
officer amenable to the criminal law
for official dishonesty, do so, but for
goodness sake don't deprive the peo-
pie of the protection Of personal Sc
curity for their public funds. II
would be better piece of business
to be trying TO perfect law in re-
gard to official bonds, which would
make it impossible for them to evade
the penalties Of official delinquency
How would the people Of this state
feel at this hour if the collectors Of
the public funds who, happen now tc
have 1t in their hands, we're released
from all responsibilities of then
official bonds? Yes, how would they
feel knowing that there was no way
to reimburse themselves but sick.
ly attempt to put some fellow in the
penitentiary?
Yes, and think of the flood tide OF
temptation that would be opened up
on the collectors with from $4,000 to
5000 in their pockets. The thing
is too absurd to think of. If it il
wise for business men TO require
security against loss, how can it be
otherwise in the State to do the same
thing? II the care was taken, and
the law as rigldly enforced by the
State as by the United States, who
will maintain that bonds would be
no protection?
