| Special Correspondence OF The Appeal
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Aug. 2l.-The DsR,.
ocrat OF this city has tor some years been
making hard and persistent fight for a
new constitution for Arkansa, and it
has made this fight on basis of pub
lie justice. Tho present constitu.
ton was adopted when the State was
IN state OF choas, seml.revolution.
Men took counsel OF their passions and
preJudlccs rather than their deliberate
judgment and reason. The Republicans
had issued bonds in very reckless way
and therefore IL was ordained that neither
the state nor any county or municipality
should ever issue any interest bearing
bonds. They had imposed grievous taxes,
therefore the people must tie the hands OF
the State and counties by an iron-clad limit.
We created an army OF minor judicial
Offices and gave them nothing TO do. We
are compelled to elect twcnty-iour justices
OF the peace every two years in the town
ship IN which this city is located, when
three or four can do all the business
Our stringent usury law, the consti.
tuition declaring the penalty Tor it, for
ieitnre OF both principal and inter.
est, has worked untold injury 10

are even worse. A man can hold rs home

The Flood az Reading Pa

READING, Pa, Aug. 22.-The six fec
above ordinary water mark which tn,
Schuylkill river had attained at midnight
was increased during the night, until this
morning it was fourteen feet above, which
Is the highest point since 1869.
The schuylkill river, Union canal and
Schuylkill canal all lying along side of
each other, are all one body of water, and
IN this city the sheet mill OF the Reading
iron Works, the three paper mills of the
Bnshong Paper company, the Consumers
Gas company. which supplies the city
with gas, and other manufacturing estab.
iishments all employing probably 500
hands, were obliged to shut down because
OF the inroads OF the water.
A narrow escape from a fearful wreck
was made near Albany, this county, where
the schuylkill & Lehigh road crosses
Maiden cre,N ON u large wooden bridge,
which was discovered TO have been moved
by the flood five feet out of position this
morning. Hundreds Of acres OF corn and
potatoes are under water. The river com.

that the creditor should have his debt. II
is a mere matter OF policy. All know the
law when the contract is made, and no
one is hurt. On the other hand are the
| people ready TO say, and embody the say
| ing in the bill OF rights, that no action
shall be maintained in the courts of this
State to enforce the obligation of con-
tract or TO recover damages for the breach
thereof? They are not. Public opinion
has not advanced to that point.
Again, as to the tenure OF land, are they
willing to accept the theories OF Henry
George, and put in the new bill OF rights
that all taxes shall be levied upon land
and that every other species Of property
snail be exempt from taxation? The an
swor Is ready--no such action is demand
Cd There is great unrest among the
people, as there should be. 1t shows that
they are thinking for themselves and are
preparing to act for themselves when the
time comes. In this there is nothing TO
fear but all to hope.
Mere unrest is not sufficient to call for
new constitution. The people must
maze an advance in political science and
demand that this advance step be put
into practice by a change Of constitution.
Every change Of constitution is a revolu-
t l,,i accomplished by peaceful means.
what revolution is demanded? What
great changes are called for? Will the
advocates Of new constitution advise?
IL Is not sufficient that the people are dis
