Call a Convention.

Pine Bluff Press Eagle: There is much talk about Arkansas at the Worlds Fair" but nothing is being done calculated to insure us repre- sentation at the great international exposition. It is manifest that fl we are to have an exhibit there it must be paid for by private, county or cor porate subscriptions. The necessity for and great benefits to be derived from an adequate display of our mar vicious resources is apparent to every philosophical man in the State, and we think there would he no trouble in raising from S25,000 to 5000 for this purpose if the proper efforts were made. There is no time to lose, if anything at all is to be done. As Governor, and as one of the States representatives upon the Nat ional Worlds Fair Commission, we believe it would be eminently Eroper for Gov. Eagle to call a convention to assemble at Little Rock sometime during the ensuing summer to de wise ways and means to have Ark ansas represented at the Worlds Fair. Tue late Legislature failed woefully m it's duty to the people in this particular, but this is no reason why the people should be untrue to themselves.

The Democratic Greed.

Little Rock Gazette; Hon W. l.. Wilson, of West Virginia, who is "out West" laboring to strengthen Demo cratic organization, delivered a speech recently in Helena, Mont, in which he thus formulated the Demo cratic creed;
 We are banded, first against the cen tralization of pow CT in the Federal Gov ernmeDt in Washington; second, aginst the centralization ot the wealth of this country into the hands of the favored beneficiaries of the party that controls the Government, This is something more than dollars and cents. It Is the fight for liberty, for freedom, which our fathers transmitted to us, and which we should leave unimpaircd tC those who come after us.
 A more striking epitome could not have been made. The Demo, cratic party is the lion in the path ol the political elements banded togeth CT Tn the name of the Republican party to accomplish the results Mir Wilson points out as destructive oi all that IS dear to patriots and free man. Every movement by the Re publicans. now controlled almost ab solutely by tue powerful comhlna tions created and made strong b, Republican legislation, is move ment looking to weakening the peo pie by cuHtailing their power, and [, making the centralized power ire slstible.

aPublIc Extrayagance."

Little Rock Gazette In his Buf- falo address Mir. Cleveland display ed the strong sound sense which characterizes his pubic utterances when not devoted to helping out the enemies of standard silver. His ref ferences to the long reign of Public Extravagance, for which the Repub lican party IS responsible, and whose most recent fruits appear in the rec ord of the Billion Dollar Congress, are decidedly forclble and to the point. They will cause persons to think who have not closely observed the methods by which tax has been piled on tax, and expenditure piled on expenditure. And to what end For the most part, to at the expense of the masses increase the wealth ol special interests, which in turn are counted on to aid in perpetuating the authors of the region of Public Ex- yagance in power.
 As Mir. Cleveland says so well in conclusion, it is the duty of Demo crats in pushing the campaign of ed ucatIon to especially impress upon our countrymen the lesson which teaches that Public Extravagance is a deadly, dangerous thing, that fru gality and economy are honorable that the virtue and watchfulness o the people are the surest safeguards against abuses in their government and that those who profess to serve their fellow citizens in pubhc places must be faithful to theIr trust"

ItIs the Issue.

Republic: The evidence every where that the Democratic party does not intsnd to permit the tariff question to be superseded by any other issue in polltlcal circles is most assuring. Since, apparently, 1t must remain political matter, 1t win form the chief feature of demo- cratic deliverance; and the more they keep It before the public the better it will be. It is question that is more correctly compre- hended to day bv the masses of the people than it has ever been; and the most cheerful feature of 1t all is the more they study it the more they are inclined to demand relief from the weight of taxes saddled up on them by the Mckinley followers. The campaign of education will be continued right along, and the ad ditional information on the tariff will be available to the people as they near the mementous struggle of 1892. The tariff reformers need not recede one step from the position they have assumed. They stand committed to reduction of the tariff. to a marked modification of the tar If laws and, In fact to radical and extensive reversal of the Mckinley bill provisions. The large manu- lecturers, who employ many men, desire free raw matarials. so that they can extend their sales and thereby manufacture larger pro duct, winch would necessitate the employment of more labor. The poor man demands tariff reform, that he may be enabled to make more purchases and for less money than the Mckinley bill compels him to spend now. He finds no comfort, re- lief, no fairness in McKlnleyism, which embodies a system of bur densome taxation that he can no longer bear.

THE DIRECT TAX.
How Claims Must be Proved up
 Before They Are Paid.

| Little Rock Gazette: Gov. Eag le is in receipt of great number ot letters from claimants of portions of the direct tax collected from citizens in the southern States during the latter part of the civil war by the Federal Government, making in- quiry as to how it is to be paid. By recent act of Congress these taxes are to be refunded to the citizens who paid them, the legislature at | It's recent sessions have provided that the amounts shall be paid to each claimant making satisfactory evidence to the governor that he is entitled to such tax.
 A mere presentation of tax re- ceipt to the governor will not be con sidered sufficient evidence for pay ment of claim. It must be verified at Washington, then the governor will issue an order upon the Audi tor who will draw warrant in fav. or of the claimants, whose claim will then be paid by the State treas urer without dispute. The amount of direct tax collected Tn Arkansas lis $l5S,745, and was assessed against real estate and was not q cotton tax as some Of the citizens of the State seem to imagine.
 The check for this amount has neen received from Washington, but has not yet been cashed, and as soon as the money is covered into the treasury Gov. Eagle will notify the people officially though the public press. No provision has been made for verifying the accounts at Wash ington. The records are open to any one who desires to inspect them, but beyond that the government will render no assistance to taxpayer
 in ferreting out the amount of his claim. He must either go to Wash ington and make personal examin- ation of the records or employ some one to do it for him.
 At least three fourths of the claims will not average over $10, and it will thus be seen how many citizens will be deprived of the amounts due them on account of the annoyance they will be subjected to in proving | up the amounts due them. Many of the tax receipts have been lost or destroyed and in order for such persons who have no other evidence that they paid the tax than that they owned property at the time It was collected will have to obtain that evidence from Washington.
 1 It has been suggested that the claimants of these taxes send rep
 resentative to Washington, his com pensation to consist of certain per centage of the amounts he should prove up to the satisfa ction of the Governor. No one would object to this plan, it is thought to be the most feasible one that has yet been advanced, it will save both the Gov ernor and the claimant great deal of time and trouble in settling the matter.
