Our Schools.

EDITOR PRESS Next month I see
we are to have an election for School
Directors. A matter, shame to say,
our people pay little or no attention
to, while oil are forced to admit Is by
far the most important matter we
have to deal with, one lying closest
and nearest our homes and families.
In view of this fact let US now lay all
prejudices and personal feeling aside
and select three good directors, select
ing men not after our likes or dislikes,
but men who will interest themselves
and spend at least portion of their
time for the common good -four schools
in order to start the ball allow me to
suggest for the consideration of the
voters: Geo. r. Wood, A. Hays, w.
T. Merrill, r. s. Hynes and d: w.

as these we might be able to make

Judge Cockrill.

The resignation ofChief Justice Cock
rill and tho appointment of Judge But
Ter as his successor were the Chief
topics of pu ic discussion in the city
yesterday. Judge Cockrill talked free
ly about the matter yesterday. 1t
turns out that the matter was first
contemplated about a month ago when
a partnership between Mr.. Geo. II.
Sanders and Judge Cockri.l was
broacne ed by mutual friends. 1t was
not, however seriously determined
upon until Thursday and the resigna-
ton was handed to Gov. Sloan Friday
morning. Final arrangements as to
the partnership were not ,mpleted,
however. till yesterday. Mr.. Geo. H
Sanders is native of Mississippi, but
has practiced law In the State Of Ar
kansas senty-three years, and for the
past eight years has been engaged act
lively in the practice of his profession
in Little Rock. For several years he
had associated with him Mr.. Jas. A.
Watkins, n brilliant young lawyer
which partnership was severed OH
account of Mr.. Watkins health.
Mr.. Sanders is one Of the most sue
cessful lawyers at the Little Rock bar,
is aggressive, and indefatigable in his
conduct of a case
Judge Cockrill, with his well known
abilities, his acquaintance throughout
the State and his sterling character
as well, will make the new firm one
of the strongest in the South. The
partnership begins May l, when Chief
Justice Cockrill's resignation takes
effect.
The appointment of Jungs Butler
was universally commended by bench
and bar yesterday, and it is believed
that II he accepts he will be logical

Cherokee Delegation.

Chief J. s. Harris of the Cherokee
Nation, accompanied by Treasurer E.
Starr and d. w. Lipe and J. 7. Cum
ningham, delegates from the National
Cherokee Council to visit Washington,
with authority to make a contract
with the Secretary Of the Interior for
the payment of s., 800, 900, a part pay
ment for money due from the sale of
the Cherokee Strip, arrived at the
Lindell Sunday evening.
This contract, authorized by an act
Of Congress March 8, 1898, provides
that the Secretary of the Interior
should make q contract for payment
of this money to the Cherokees in five
equal payments, drawing 4 per cent
on deferred payments. Italso provid-
ed that il the National Council saw
At they might negotiate loan on the
principal and interest and secure the
money at once. 1t is for this purpose
the delegation goes to Washington,
and the Chief has been negotiating
with Eastern capitalists, and has re-
ceived assurance that the money can
be had, and Chief Harris says that q
premium will also be realized upon
the exchange, thus allowing the Chero-
kee people to realize Immediately the
benefits accruing from the sale of the
8 rip.
The National Council also set aside
$50, 900 to pay intruders for improve

A letter supposed to have been lost
at Tahlequah by Col. Peel has been
published in the papers, presumably
with intent to injure him. The letter
was signed by Hon. A. NJ. Wilson.
We interviewed him about 1t, and he
says that 1t was not lost; that there
was nothing in It that he cared to
conceal. He just threw 1t down where
he read it. IT was simply hope ex-
pressed by Col. Wilson that he might
make some money without any knowl-
edge of his intentions. In regard 20
the bill that was introduced In the
councilin regard to employing counsel,
instead of sending delegation. he
knew nothing of it. Soms of the
Cherokees had asked him if it would
not be cheaper TO employ counsel in
stead of sending delegation. He had
answered that 1t certainly would
that they could accomplish their ends
better that way, That is all he knew
q bout 1t. Col. Peel is now a private
citizen, and we can see no reason why
he should nos take a fee from any one
who needs his services, whether it be
the Cherokee or any one else. The
object of these dispatches is evidently
to injure Col. Peel, and not to hell
the Cherokees.-Bentonville Journal
There is nothing In the extract pub
lished. as every one could see tina
read 1t. There is nothing behind it
and the effort to injure Wilson or Pee
through it is contemptible. Both arr
beyond the reach of the malignity
that inspired the attack.-Fayattevll'

The President Asserts That Gold Pay
ments WIN be Contained.

Washington, April 23.-To report
er Of the Associated Press the Presi-
dent said tonight: "The inclination
on the part of the public to accept
newspaper reports concerning the in
tentions of those charged with the
management Of our national finances
seems to justify my emphatic contra
diction Of the statemen that the re-
demption Of any kind of treasury
notes. except in god, has at any time
been determined upon. or contempla-
ted by the Secretary of the Treasury.
or any other member of the present
administration. The President and
his cabinet are absolutely in harmony
teexercise every power conferred upon
them to maintain the public credit, 10
keep the public faith, and to preserve
the party between gold and silver,
and between all financial obligations
of the government. While the law
of 1890, forcing the purchase of a fixed
amount OF silver every month, pro-
vides that the Secretary of the Treas
ury, IN his discretion, may redeem in
either gold or silver the treasury notes
given in payment of silver purchases,
yet the declaration OF the policy of the
government 10 maintain the parity be-
tween the two me ais seems so clearly
10 regulate this discretion as to dictate
their redemption in gold.
..Of course, perplexity and difiicul.

cooperate, threatened dangers will
be averted pending legislative return

Progressive Arkansas.

.sS'>N-~s
The selection of Gov. Fishback
as chairman of the convention OF
Southern Governors was a grace
full compliment to the man and
the state he represents. 1t is in
some measure an index to the fact
that no State has made greater
proportional progress of late than
has Arkansas. 1t was her COVER
nor who suggested the meeting
now being held, and it is but prop
er to state that he was, during
the war, a Union Democrat. 1t is
Arkansas that gets the chairman
ship of the convention. All of
this goes to show that the State
is in line with the best thought
of the country, that she has turn.
ed her back upon the passions of
the past, and that she stands pre-
pared to greet the demands OF the
hour. We who live so near her
know full we'll the splendid re-
sources of the State, and the in
dustry and enlightenment of her
people. just the other day we
received a phamplet from the su-
perintendent of public instruction
of the State, and in that publica-
ton We find the most cOmprehen-
sive evidence of the good work
that Arkansas is doing in the way
not only of public school educa-
tion, but also of the higher kind
of education. The wonderful part
about it all this is that the burden
of the education falls exclusively
on the white people of the State.
Arkansas has very large negro
population, and the whites have
to provide for the education OF
the negro race as well as the edu-
cation of their own children. OF
course, the school term does not
last as long as could be wished.
but the people are doing the best
they can, and without and kind OF
murmuring they have devoted
themselves to the task Of giving
all the children of the State com
mon school education. The last
census shows that the coiored
school enrolment in Arkansas il
the same as the white enrollmen,
in the public schools ofNew HamI
shire, or about $1,000 pupils. II
we refer to the statistics of the
population we will find, however
that the whites of New Hamp
shire number $4,000, while the
negroes of Arkansas number only
311, 900. Thus the percentage Of
negro population in the schools
of Arkansas is greater than the
percentage OF the white pOpula
ton in the State of New Hamp
shire; and these negro children
are being educated by the whites
who have also to pay for the edu
cation of their own children. In
the face Ofsuch facts, we do not
see how the people of the North
can have the assurance to criticise
the people of this section as moi
doing their duty in the way of ed
ucation. There is a splendid fu-
ture in stole for the people o.
Arkansas, and in spite of the mis-
representations to which they, il
common with the people of thu
South generally have been sub
jected, they will rise superior Il
