 THE Little Rock Democrat IS enjoy ing the luxury of $50,000 libel suit. This suit is based upon rather queer grounds. Instead of suing the paper for something it published, the plaint- if, A. w. Clark, former secretary and treasurer of the Democrat Publishing company, seeks damages for something it did not publish. Some people are mighty hard to please. They "cuss" if It's cold and they ''cuss" If it's hot. They want damages if newspaper publishes something that can be dis torted into libel, and they sue it if it don't print something they would have done if they had had chance. It is dangerous for a newspaper to lie about . man, but the danger is aggravated if 1t tells the truth about a majority of people. @

Any holder of gold or silver bullion of the value of Sl00 or more of standard fineness shall be en- titled to have the same coined free of charge. It further provides for the is- sue of coin notes and for their redemp- ton in coin. The acts of February 2S, 1878, and July l4, 1890, are repealed.

No one can go to church without ge

No one can go to church without get ting some good. The New York Fri bune says: A Maine woman, who bad all irreligious husband. kept driving at him until she finally got him to go to church. Now mark how she was re- warded. Instead of following the ser ylce he looked at the congregation, and noticed how much more handsomely the other women were dressed than his wife. This fact pricked him to the heart as no words of the minister could, and the next day he gave his wife $500 and told her to go and buy some clothes, Need we enlarge on the moral of this story! We think not.

It is more than the cost, including pensions, of the great standing army of Germany. Rcpub- lies are very grateful, especially when the cost of gratitude is defrayed out of the public treasury, the funds of which are wrung out of the people by the infamous high-tariff tax imposed by the robbers who have controlled the government since the war.

 Mississippi. West Tennessee and Ar kansas the articles enumerated in
 the above table? And every article in
 this list could easily be produced at home. What would become of the farmers of the North and Northwest If they raised wheat to the exclusion o1 III others crop? Bankruptcy would
 oyertake them as surely as 1t has over
 taken the farmer of the South under
 the all-c0tton regime. But they diver eify their crops so as to make their farm products q source of continuous income, and they are Independent and prosperous, while their Southern broth CTS are mortgaged up to their eyea, with small hope of ever paying their debts, and many of them on the verge of starvation. Arkansas can produce every grain of corn and wheat con oumed within it's borders, every pound of lard and meat at less cost than the Northern producer, every ounce of hay. Until our people get out of the beaten paths and raise what they eat at home they may expect to be poor. And they will become poorer with each succeeding year. They can't supply their every want with six-cent cotton. It is impossible.

WHY Study Latin and Creek

What are the benefits obtained by q
Latin and Greek education? In the first
place, it affords an admirable intellectual
training; in the second place, it opens up a
magnificent literature; in the third place
it contributes very much to the right un
derstanding of language which is largely
indebted to Greek and Latin. The first adj
vantage is not of great Importance. A mod
ern language taught Systematically may
be made useful in much the same way, il
not in the same degree.
The second advantage is, for the vast
majority of students, absolutely nOnexist
ent. The average schoolboy or university
man, when he closes for the last time his
Virgil or SOphocles, is no whit the better
acquainted with ancient literature than II
he had spent single year upon adequate
translatiOns of the famous originals
through which he has blindly Numbered
for dozen years or more. The third adj
vantage is one which, for general PURPOSES
might be attained by very short study il
early life scientifically directed to WORD
formation, rather than to the endless mys
teries of infection and syntaX.-Harper's
