Honor to Whom Honor is Due

Bro. Mitchell, of the Arkansas, Daily Democrat. in Saturdays is- sue. scores us heavily for having criticised Senator Jas. K. Jones, insisting that we were uugenerous aud unjust The editor of this pa per is not, personally. very well acqnai,ted with Mr. Jones, and. therefore, should not have said he was of "ph egmaiic tempera inent and loved his ease.n AS our contemporary truly said, Flair play and love of justice usually characierize the Picayune.' Prominent gentlemen have given utterance in our heating. to the sentiments we used, which prob ably prompted our closing idea.
 The Democrat enumerated a large number of appointments se- cured tor this section by Mir. Jones, asif ne was only serving the of. ticerholding class. We give him credit for securing appointments to office to citizens of this State. but think there is plenty of other work as important, and really more so to the masses, for him to per form. such as the enactment of good laws. revising imperfect laws anu repeating bad laws. What has Senator Jones done in this respect in tue Senate? Did he open his mouth m favor of tariff reform, which the people of this and the whole country so much needs, and which he has advocated so loudly on a hundred stumps.
 We want it understood We bear no iii will to Senator Jones, but don't think him above criticism or reproach, as some papers seem to think, and we are always ready to givea ''honor to whom honor is due"
 And here we will say in this line that we heartily endorse Senator Be{fy's course in the Senate, though not agreeing with him as to Federal aid 10 education. Both he and Senator Jones were instruct. ed, We believe, by the State Legis. lature to vote for such a measure. Berry'S. speech against indiscrimi- nate pensions. in the Senate, was a splendid effort in the right direc. tion, though 1t seems the Little Rock papers did not approve of it..
 Will the Democrat please copy this article, so as to set us right with it's readers?
