The Arkansas supreme court has de-
cided that opening theatre on Sunday
is in violation of the law, but a trial jury
in the state capital city, could not agree
that it is a violation of the law for a
state treasurer to steal 100000 of the
peoples money. 1t is queer ideas of

That sounds funny, in the face of the
long and persistant asseverations of the
local press and politicians of the capital
city in regard to the enforcement of the

suggested. Or perhaps its editor is just

The Woman Suffragists, at their late
convention, prepared amendments to
the state constitution, to be submitted to
the next session of the legislature, which
eliminates the word "male" and substi-
tutes persons" If the women could
vote on the amendment it is barely posi-
bic that enough of them would vote for
1t, along with the female men, to carry
1t through, though that is doubtful. The
same thing has been tried before and
failed, and it viii fail again. Expert

remarkable articles on the Tariff, Reciprocity,
Coinage and the Currency These topics are all
understandable; the Republican policy with
regard TO all of them is right, patriotic and inn
pregnable but dust has been thrown III the
people S eyes, and the air has been filled with
fog by lying and tricky Tariff Reformers. The
Tribune prints from one To five exceedingly in
toresting articles every week, explaining these
questions.
Mr.. Horn begins ut the beginning of every sub
1ect and makes it so clear that everyone can
understand and no one can answer him. Ask
any neighbor what he thinks of Mr. Horr's writ
ings. lie will tell you THAI they are genial clear
entertaining, and perfectly unanswerable. A
specially is made of answering all questions
asked in good faith, on the Tariff Reciprocity,
Coinage, the Currency, and the projects OF the
Farmers Alliance. The Tribune is the best ma
uonal Republican paper to supplement your To-
