Customers have reported, nearly

challenged, will divert several hun
dred thousand acres of land from the
public domain, and from the reach of
honest settlers, to those who have at
tempted to peryert and prostitute the
the beneficent designs OF the Govern
ment. which sought by the promise
Of generous donations OF land to pro-
mote the building of wagon roads for
public convenience and for the pur
pose of encouraging settlement upon
the public lands. The roads have
not yet been built and yet an attempt
is made to claim the lands under a
title which depends for it's validity
entirely upou the construction of
these roads.
A bill repeating these land grants
and restoring the lands to the public
domain is recommended for imme
diate passage by the President. The
bill protects the interest of parties
who have innocently purchased land
of the wagon road companies.

The coming democratic state con-
vention promises to be the largest
convention OF the kind ever held IN
Arkansas. The state central com
mittee in fixing the basis Of repre-
sentation, reduced the proportion of
representation one-half, so that 200
votes is now the proportion to each
delegate,-one additional delegate
being allowed to each county for a
fractional vote less than 200 and ov-
er 100 This will almost double the
popular representation in the com.
ing convention. Heretofore the
state conventions have been compos
ed Of about 240 delegates, that OF
Thursday, May 81, will contain 453.
Every delegate appointed should &C.
cupy his seat in the convention, and
no county should fail to appoint its
quote OF delegates. 1t is time now
that the democracy of the entire
state should be organized and thor
oughly prepared for the coming
campaign. Thorough organization
and harmonious work will assure
success.

The official investigation demon
strated the awful fact that the Coal
Hill brutalities had not been the
least exaggerated. The convicts
have been forced to work under the
lash in the mines, half fed and hall
clad. They have been beaten to
death on the mere shadow OF a pro-
vocation. 1t does seem that there
should be some way to manage con.
yicts without intiicting upon them
such unmerciful brutalities. How g
human being can be guilty of such
barbarous brutality is a mystery
that we cannot understand. 1t i:
to be hoped that the present brutal
system Of convict labor will give
place to a more civilized method.
