Along Campaign.

Little Rock Press The action OF
the national democratic executive
committee in fixing the
date OF the national convention for
June 9Th makes both the state and
national campaign unusually long.
Heretofore the national democratic
conventions have been held In July
and the state conventions In the lat
ter part of June. This year they
will come one month earlier than
usual. The one will run through
five and the other three months,
where, In the past, fosr and two
months have been deemed quite suf
ficient time. The state convention,
which mus appoint delegates to the
national convention, cannot be post
poned beyond the last week in May
unless two conventions be held
which is altogether unnecessary
The meeting OF the state executive
committee on March 14th will mark
the beginning of the primary cam
psign for party nominations, which
must necessarily be confined tc
about ten weeks time. The natura
result of these early conventions vii
be to make democracy the aggressive
leader, which it ought to be in boil
the state and nation.

A FEW modern philosophers are
energetically comparing statistics,
the rise and progress of parties, in
order TO construct a premise from
which to show that the democratic
party is waning, and that her glori-
on. sun whose light has been the
conserving element in our govern
ment all these years of American
independence, is just about ready to
go down forever. We are told that
the Democracy Is in the evening twi.
light of her glory and power Rome
once sat on her seven hills surround
ed by the most powerful government
in the world. That government dis
integrated, and fell to pieces, and
now lies only In history. Greece,
with her science, literature and art,
her historic sky studded with emf
nent sages, and profound phioso
pliers, believed herself TO have the
model government of earth. Her
governmental foundation gave way,
and now, her glory and splendor
shine only on the page of history.
These governments were very slight
ly tinctured with the democratic
element, and this democratic force
pervading all the governments ofthe
world has outlived them all to shine
forth in its beauty in the interprets-
ton and practical workings OF the
constitution OF the United States.
This force sprang into luxurlance
from the exuberance Of Cypress
ed hearts longing for freedom. /,
found expression in the declaration
OF independence. And by whatever
name called it has pervaded one or
the other Of all the parties from that
day until this, and it now BLOSSOMS
like the rose" in the democratic
party. BY parity of reasoning thi,
democratic force is to live forever; il
will be the predominsting element Of
the future government under oul
constitution. We do not expect
democracy to die in few years, mol
in a few centuries. The prating
about democratic failure does not ex
! cite our fears.

What 1t Means.

Little Rock Press: The "oiP' de-
cision of the interstate commerce
commission, rendered Thursday, Is
a black eye for the giant monopoly,
the Standard Oil company. The
simple meaning of it to the railroads
OF the country is that oil is oil, and
carload is a carload. 1t suggests
the idea that the Legitimate business
OF railroads is confined to transport
alton; that theirs is q separate and
distinct business and not a mere ad
junct to some other business. 1t
does honor to the principles Of the
old common law, based upon com.
mon justice between man and man.
and is q severe blow to the "combin-
alton idea" OF these peculiar times.
1t means that the smaller dealers
still have q fair chance in this coun-
try, on fair business principles, and
that legitimate competition shall
be maintained. 1t is the best decis-
ion ever rendered by the commission
and IL must be enforced.

Hon, T. c. McRae has introduced
a bill in congress to prohibit mem
bers of congress from acting as at
torneys or employees for railroad
companies holding charters or hav
ing received grants of lands or pc
cuniary aid from the United States.
1t is thought that this bill if passed,
will promote good government. A
rail road company can easily pay 8
congressman in an important case a
larger fee than his salary is for a
year, thus giving him an induce
ment to incline toward the rail road
company.

the state with set of useless

I'm the early part Of last month, :"
remarked Mr.. Elliott, in speaking of
his good luck, 81 had just finished a
contract with prominent levee con
tractor of this city and found my
self with no immediate prospects Of
other lucrative business. On going
to the State Female College, where
my brothers wife resides, | found
my sisterin-law and young lady of
her acquaintance Willing away
rather quiet evening. A sociahle
game of cards was proposed to eniv
en- things, and l took hand. Good
natured bantereing and offers to bet
we're frequently made, and the
young lady finally offered to wager
the csntents Of her purse, and laugh
ingly displayed 35 cents. My sis
terin-law remarkd, Just one third of
a dollar; suppose we each contribute
35 cents and get Louisiana Lottery
ticket This was readily agreed,
and l gave 40 cents, the surplus 10
cents 10 be used as car fare by the
young lady who was considered the
mascotte of the trio. One-t tenth of
ticket No. SO, 442 was bought and on
the 10Th day of January last the
drawing took place"
Mr.. Elliott paused moment to re
member the manifestations of the
little party when the result of the
drawing was published on the fol
lowing day. "Our ticket entitled the
holders to $4,000, one tenth OF the
capital prize OF $4,000. No troub
lie was experienced in collecting the
money. The ticket was deposited
in the Memphis National Bank and
forwarded to New Orleans. A sight
draft for $4,000 was received few
days afterward, and each of the par
ty got $4,000"
When asked what he intended to
do with his newly acquired wealth,
Mr.. Elliott said: 81 have not decided
yet, but will doubtless invest it in
real estate. This what my sister in
law and the young lady are going to
do"

man of about % years of age, and is
