DIE N0TLGE

It can be neither fair, nor just. nor Statesmanlike to create new economic conditions without due notice being given of the intended date of their becoming operative to the great commercial, manufacturing or other material interests to the people.-Philadelphia Ledger.
 Full, conspicuous, unquestionable notice was given eighteen months ago when the Chicago platform was adopted. and again, thirteen months ago when that platform was ratified Eby the majority that elected the present Congress and made Grover Cleveland President. An amplel notice would be impossible.-New York Sun.
 Yes, and for the past twenty-five years warning was given that at the first opportunity the working men would receive share of the just benefits accruing from Gov ernmentD honestly administered. The doctrine of proportionate tax ation has been preached for decades from every political pulpit in the land, and yet the cry goes up that it is not fair. Truly that is a joke.

THE PROPOSED RAILR0AD.

The citizens of Little Rock and Hot Springs are very enthusiastic over the proposition to build di- rect line of railroad between the two cities. The matter is of the great est importance to both places, and the movement is one that for many years has been contemplated. An unusually advantageous offer has been made by Col. Lott, capitalist and thorough business man. It looks now like the scheme which for so many years amounted to nothing will at last materialize. Both cities are to be congratulated. Every true citizen of Arkansas is proud of any great achievement beneficial to the lState, it matters not in what par ticular locality the good work is
 done. It is hoped that this will
 only act as an incentive to enterpris- ing men of every section. The peo- pie of Arkansas have all that is
 needed if they will only reach out
 and grasp it.

: GTLL0M IND HILL.

Recently the Senatorial lights from New York and Illinois had a rather spirited spat on the subject of contested elections. Mr Cullom in unmistakable language called Mr. Hills attention to the machine poli= tics of New York. It was not a wise move. Mr. Hill is authority on that subject, and one may say, has graduated cum laule in all the arts and wiles of handling men in his native State. Of course, the Maynard campaign was dragged be fore the public again and expatiated upon rather extensively. MT. Hill is shrewd. He is cautious and DO. litic in every sense of the word, and is ever ready to deny wrong state ment concerning his State or party, When he can't offer good ol plausible defense he keeps his mouth shut. There are many politicians who should profit by his example.

 WASHINGTON, Dec. .l5.-When Sena- tor Frye of Maine completed his remarks upon the resolution demanding the cor respondepce concerning Hawaii in which he severely criticised Blount and Cleveland. there was a stiffness through out the senate MT. Gray was the first to riss.
 Mr. Gray requested Mir. Frye's au- th0rity for such statement, but the lat ter said he was not at liberty to give it.
 Mir. Vest then addressed the senate. He did not speak as the advocate or special defender of the Administration, but as an American senator and citizen. He regretted that party malevolence had so distinctly shown itself in the debate Stevens might be all that his friend, Mr. Frye, claimed for him. but he fvest) knew ,Blount, and desired to state in the most positive and emphatic manner that a purer, man publicly and privately never appearei in the arena of American politics, He then took up the defeiise of Blonnt and in | strong ternis pointed out his sterling | qualities The crime committed by ? president of the United States. for | which he had been threatened with i'm peachment, was that he did not favor r the annexation of the islands. If that i constituted crime MT. Vest declared ! that he himself was q criminal, and in I his Judgment So were s large majority of the American people. "The plain issue before the American people" said Mir. Vest, lis whether we are to break down the traditional policy of this country inaugursted by Washington and carried out by Jefferson, Jackson, Buchanan and now by Cleveland?'' | He then stated he did not understand that Gresham meant armed forces would be employed. He was an emi- nent jurist. Coming to the instruc- tions to Willis, Mir. Vest said if it should turn out that these instructions were to restore the queen by armed force, no one would deprecate it none would resist the doctrine more than himself It would be an act of war. MT. Vest closed by saying that if he he had the power he would withdraw every shadow of United States au- thority from the Hawaiian islands, leaving the opposing factions to settle the question of sovereignty for them selves.
 Senator Frye replied briefly to MT. Vest, and said he did not mean to at. tack the integrity of MT. Blount. The resolution was then referred to the committee on foreign affairs.
 Mir. Morrill, oI Vermont then ad dressed the senate on the tariff, after which the session adjourned.
