TIE convention held ill Little Rock on the 18th inst for the purpose of get ting the sense of the people in regard to an appropriation for an exhibit at the Worlds Fair, was attended by a large number of citizens from all parts of the state, and it was agreed to ask the legislature to appropriate $250 900 for that purpose. James M Stewart represented St. Francis coun- ty. It is very hard matter to cal culate the cost of an exhibit. If $25O,- 900 is required to defray the expenses of really first-class exhibit then we are heartily in favor of an appropra- tion of that amount. The bill provid- ing for such appropriation should be carefully drawn as to provisions for paying out the money, and it should be so strict as to make it impossible for useless expense and personal speculation. If the full amount is net used in this way it can be covered into the treasury for other purposes. We favor s250,O

Tho Pension Question.

The pension question will be one of the most important issues before the people in 1892. and in this con nection the Memphis Appeal Ava lanche says: Tt will then have been thlrty-one years since the war began and twenty-seven since it closed. The voters will be confronted with all annual pension outlay of about Sl50 900 900. This is d killing tax not warranted by any principle of justice, equity or patriotism. It was abont 1874 that Gen Garfield, him. self a soldier. apologized to the
 house of representatives for pre- senting a pension bill making an appropriation of $50 900 ,000, but he explained that. ill the nature of
 things, the pension charge must grow less with every succeeding year. Instead of that 1t has grown with each succeeding session of congress, until now We pay more for pensions than is required to maintain the standing armies of any European country. The southern members of
 congress, fearing misconstruction have been slow to complain. but the whole people of the country are now becoming aroused to the necessity of checking and reducing the outgo.n

MR. HARRISON will find, if he still persists in retaining the force bill as his personal platform for 1892 that his following will not amount to d corporal's guard. Public opinon, irrespective of party, has been opposed to the bill since it's first introduction in the house, and the month which the senate has thrown away upon it, at the expense of more important legislation, has intensified the oppo. sition.

Mir l.. F. Featherston, for whom the republican majority in the house stole the seat to which the people of the First Arkansas district elected Judge Cate, is the subject of this paragraph in the Washington. D. c., Post of the 2d inst:
 Representative FeatherstOn. of the First Arkansas district, was in the house on Tuesday for the first time this session. He says that his election last November was conceded by both democrats and republicans by from S00 to .0OO majority until tho news came that the next house wIs over whelmingly democratic. Then, he says, the returns began to be changed and Cate, his democratic opponent, was declared elected
 Featherston was defeated in 1888. but obtained seat because the rppub- lican majority in the house needed members to aid speaker Reed to con vert that once honored, but now dis graced, body into oneman power.

thoroughly practical business man, who
brings business methods to bear upon
everything in which he engages, and his
