TIE Arkansas State Register, the phenomenal sheet of untruthfulness has gone down with McGinty and the late republican majority. For the present the daily only has suspended. The weekly can't last long, and is no doubt just barely kept alive by artiii- cial means, that its certain death might not be ''so sudden like.H God speed the day when Arkansas will be rid of this abominable falsifyer.

Several times of late reference has been
made in the newspapers to new system of
railway passenger charges called the zone
system. and having its origin in Hungary on
the State railroads. The subject of railroad
fares is one in which the American public is
always vitality interested, and any scheme
for the amelofation of the peoples hard
ships in this direction is always given re-
spectful attention. When railroads were
few they had practically their own way in
regard to tariff charges. Bnt as they in
creased and multiplied. competition forced
rates down and introduced various conven-
fences in the shape Of Communication and trip
tickets, mileage books and the like. Tn the
matter Of mileage books alone, great ad-
vances have been made in the past few years.
Time was when they were good only for
the use of the persons named herein" and
were void If used by anyone else. This rule
has been broadened and extended, so that
now ON the larger roads mileage books are
good for the bearer, and are in use from one
end of the system to the other. on its main
line, all leased lines and branches. The
next step in this direction would be the issue
of interchangeable mileage books at uni
form rate per mile good on any line of rail
in the country. Already agitation to secure
these has been begun, but now comes in this
Hungarian zone system offering possibilities
that are worthy of careful consideration.
Briefly outlined the zone system is as fol-
lows, taking the Maine Central as an exam
ple. The road is divided into zones embrace
ing an equal territory. The first zone would
include all stations within radius of twenty
miles. perhaps from Portland to Freeport,
Gray or Steep Falls, according to the divi-
sion; the second the next twenty miles, and
so on to the end of the route. Within each
zone the fares would be uniform, say ten
cents EACH A ticket to Woodford's and one
to Freeport would each cost ten cents, as
one from Woodford's to Morrilps or Var
mouth to Freeport, or between any other
stations. In the second zone ten cents
would be added from the first. That is, a
passenger going to Portland to Brunswick
going from Freeport to Brunswick, or Bruins
wick to Bath would pay only ten cents. In
short, 1t is the application of the postal prin-
ciple to railway fare. distance taking the
place of weight in determining the rate of
increase. Such reform will be universally
possible in this country only when the rail-
roads are united, or at least combined in a
pooling arrangement in regard to passengers.
That 1t would reduce the total passenger re-
ceipts # traffic remains the same is not
doubted, but the advocate of the scheme,
Mr.. James L. Cowles, of Pennington, Con-
necticut. claims that the increase in volume
of travel would more than compensate for
the reduction in fare.

An invention by which writing can be

Probably the responsibility of the New
York Central strike does not rest entirely
on either party. There can be little doubt
that the company has been discharging nen,
not because they were incompetent but be-
cause they belonged to the organiza-
ton known as the Knights of Labor. Of
course the company had a legal right to do
thls' put It's moral right is not so clear The
mere TACT That an employee belongs to labor
organization hardly constitutes good ground
Tor his dismissal. If, however, he has been
ACTIVE IN fomenting trouble between en-
pioyers and employees that is another matter
The New York Central Company claims that
they have not discharged Knights of Labor
simply because they were members of that
organization, but because they were foment-
ing trouble, yet there are good many cir
cumstances that go to show that the CON-
pany has determined to gradually get rid Of
such of its employees as are Knights of La
Dor. Naturally the Knights deemed this a
grievance and ordered strike. The way
the strike was begun was very urfortu-
nate for the men engaged in 1t, for it tended
to ALLEVIATE public sympathy. The men
should not have left their trains until they
had arrived at their destinations. There
was no excuse for the punishment which
was inflicted upon innocent passengers by
the procedure OF the strikers. The trains
should have been taken to their destination,
and not until then should the employees have
deserted them. AS regards the result OF the
strike there can hardly be two opinions

In snort time, before the quorum was Sc
cured. When he came back he offered a
resolution summCning the doorkeeper before
the bar of the house for punishment in dar-
ing to lay hands on him. The doorkeeper
claimed he did so by the Speakers order.
The Speaker in ruling on the resolution said
that he had issued no orders In regard to the
matter but had, when questioned by the
doorkeeper In regard to the point given
1t as his opinion that the rule providing for
call of the house declared that the doors
should be closed during the call. Such clos
ing of the doors, in the opinion of the chair,
prevented any member from leaving the
chamber The rule was made, in the opin-
ion of the chair. for the purpose of keeping
in such members as were there already and
retaining those who might appear there,
after having been sent there by order of the
House This ruling like all others that
Speaker Reed has made is in accordance
with common sense and will undoubtedly
be sustained. 1t is intimated that Mr.. Enloe
made the attempt to escape from the cham
Der In pursuance of a plan agreed upon by
the Democrats In both Houses. The result
showed the state of the case. The Demo-
Gratis can manipulate the Senate to their
hearts content under the present rules of
that body; but in the House the rules are
framed in such way as to give the majority
control of affairs.

The long continued strike at the Spring
Hill, n. s., collieries has at last reached a
point at which it cannot long remain. The
time has come for the colliery company to
decide in two days whether or not they can
accept contracts for 10000 tons of coal with
the Grand Trunk and the Intercolonial rail-
ways. II they cannot the collieries will shut
down because the railroad contracts have
furnished their principal business for several
years, and Spring Hill WIN become O thing
OF the past. The company's officers have
held conferences without number with the
strikers in the hope of effecting some solu-
tion Of the difficulties; but thus far their
efforts have proved futile. The company
has intimated that rather than abandon the
mine they would import miners, but the
strikers threaten to do bodily injury to the
new men and it looks as though there was
nothing for the company to do, but to give
up the coal mining business at Spring Hill,
for the present at least. This will be ex-
tremely unfortunate. The mines at Spring
Hill are so situated that unless pumps are
CONSTANTLY mUyrug Jney will fill up with
water and be absolutely useless hitherto
the company has been able to secure men to
keen the mines free from water. but now
they are preparing to leave and Spring Hill
coal mines will probably be thing of the
past.
