ASSOCIATE JUSTICE, L. Q. c. LAMAR died Monday at Macon, Ga. He was born in Georgia September l, 1925, and was consequently in the sixty eighth year of his age. He was elected to the Georgia legisla- ture in 1853, and has been conspic- uons in public life since that time period of forty years, He was ap- pointed secretary of the interior by MT. Cleveland in 1885, and in 1886 resigned that position to accept a position on the supreme bench. He was man of inc culture, with broad and liberal views on all questions, and was universally esteemed as a man of unsullied integrity.

Our State Commissioner of Agricul- ture gets salary of $l 800 year andthe legislature of 1889 appropriated $18,000 for the expenses of the Bureau and that 1891 appropriated $I2,460 for the same purpose. Is not the Bureau humbug and the office a sinecure? Was it tub thrown to the agricultural whale Ought not the Bureau be abolished as a useless burden upon the people? We hope the legislature will consider the naturalization Times.
 It ought to be abolished, in fact, it ought never to have been created. 1t is of no benefit to the masses, but simply provides a soft berth for some gentlemen of scientific turn of mind who are thus enabled to pursue their studies at the expense of the tax payers. We are heartily in favor of abolishing it.-Head- light.
 If we are to judge the future by the past, and 1t is said there is no safer criterion, then the bureau ought to be abolished. It is oi about as much utility as the fifth wheel to a wagon, or, an ornament that is neither useful or profitable. fla single mine, maufactory or ag- riculturalist has been benefited by it in the least degree since the bu- reau was created, the fact has most effectually escaped public notice We agree with our contemporaries, that if it is to be sinecure for of fice-holders and burden upon the people, the bureau ought to go.

THE proposition to initiate Texas in the building of a new state house by exchanging for it valuable state lands is wrong in principle and ought not to be seriously intertained for a moment The state has no lands to squander in that manner, because she will have other and more pressing needs for them after awhile. The present capitol building, while not up to date in architectural sym metry and beauty, is nevertheless quite comfortable edifice, and will well serve the state until she has means with which to secure better one, derived from some other source differing from that proposed.

Fort Smith Times: We would not object to the new constitution If Judge Mansfield, Judge Rodgers Judge Byrne, Judge Wood and Judge Bum could be authorized to make it. But these are not the men who are asking for new constitu- ton, or would be sent to constitu- tional convention. The same spirit that demands new constitution would demand new men and new methods, out of which would come Pandora's box with an assortment of things to terrify the very men who are clamoring for a new con stitution.

THE Arkansas Democrat is writ ing up the legislature and lllustrat- ing the proceedings with portraits of the members. To say the least they are miserable caricatures, and if all the pictures are as poor repre- sentatives of their originals as those of Hon. J. F. Sellers of Perry, and Hon. W. A. Clement, of lel, the Democrat should make preparations for several libel suits.-Morrilton Headlight.

IT would certainly be very un, wise to repeal the act authorizing the geological survey, since the work is almost finished, and said by competent judges to have been done in a highly creditable and efficient manner The result of this work if given to the world would be of in calculable benefit to the state. To repeal the act now would effect a total loss of what has already been paid on the work, besides leaving it in an unfinished state. By all means let the act stand, and take all necessary measures to facilitate the work.

IF bonded officers of high and low degree were required to make their bonds in guarantee companies or ganized for that purpose, instead of burdening their friends and neigh bors with the responsibility, there would be fewer defalcations or more rogues in the penitentiary.

GO UP, THOU BALD HEAD.

Somewhere in Holy Writ we read about
a certain colonel who was told by a crowd
of festive kids to 'go up, thou bald head
And whether the Cuss went up or not
we are uniformed at this writing, but
certain it is that two she bears came from
the woods round about and chewed into
mince meat forty and two children.
But that was in the long ago-years be,
before the pension commission com.
menced to give bald headed men four
dollars a month.
From an article published elsewhere
to-day, it will be noticed, and the New
York Morning Advertiser is asked to
take particular notice of the fact. that
bald headed men who were asked to 90
up under a republican administration,
got back pay and four dollars a month.
There were no she bears coming out of
the bushes-just a crowd of pension
sharks-nOt to eat those who gave the
invitation, but to chew up the southern
press which dares oppose the vicious
robbery.
All the lame and halt and blind will
be found on the pension rolls before the
investigation is completed. 1t is we'll
that the bald headed pensioners who at
tend female minstrel performances are
about to be stricken from the pension
rolls.

A GOOD MOVE.

A vote of thanks is due JUDGE ROGER A.
PRYOR. He refused to instruct the jurors in
the POLLOCK case not to read newspapers.
He held that as intelligent men they ought to
read the daily journals. The judges theory
is that a man who cannot be trusted to read
newspapers hasn't sense enough to justly
weigh testimony. And the judge is right
New York Sunday Advertiser.
That is the way to talk it. The jury
system is one of the most unreasonable
in this country, anyway. A man must
swear, before he is a competent juror, that
he has no opinion has heard nothing
about a case which has excited universal
comment that he will go by the evidence
and then he hears the lawyers har-
rangue him as an intelligent man, and he
thinks he is.
JUDGE PRYOR is t 0 be congratulated.
He is opening the way to a path where
intelligence will sit in the jury box and
where common sense will aid in return
ing a verdict against the accused.
The signs of the times indeed grow
brighter.

GOOD ENOUGH.

From the official report concerning
Trinity college, and its conditions, we
find this pleasant reference to DR.. J. F,
CRowELL:
after thorough investigation and care,
full consideration of all interests of the
college at the late commencement, the
trustees became more firmly convinced
that the services of DIR. CRowELL as
president of the institution were too
valuable to be lost and by unanimous
vote requested him to withdraw his res.

board"
This he did in consideration of the
confidence expressed by the board, and
remains president of Trinity college,
more strongly than ever intrenched in
the high esteem of all the friends Of the
institution.

brighter.

And now on every hand we hear much
said about hard times. The millionaire
talks it, the gentleman in easy circum-
stances regrets it, the laborer who gets q
dollar a day when he works talks less
about-yet feels it all the more.
Times have been hard and times have
been easy for hundreds of years. The
whole fault Of the business is, that men
make hard times. They initiate values
and count their precious stuff by the
thousands when they should count it by
the hundreds. They allow their capital
to grow timid when it approaches a bar
gain, and when, like a sneaking bull.
dog, it once fastens its fangs, it becomes
the boldest and most vicious thing on
earth.
The business world makes good times
or hard times, and if at the present time
all would see the bright prospect just
ahead there would be less furry and there
would be no worry.
Hard times is a grim and gaunt wolf
that prowls wherever you toss him a

Gets a Pension for Badness.

said:

from the record when 1 declare to this house
and to the country that pensions have been

denied Mr.. Tarsney's statement. Mr.,
Iarsney then said he would not make
public the name of his informant. who
was a medical examiner, and would be
dismissed if his name was published
On March ,, Dr.. Warren Holt, of Mis-.
souri,, who had given Mr.. Tarsney his
information, was dismissed from his posi.
ton as a medical examiner for cause :"
DR.. Holt was not able to point out any
instance where a pension had been
granted for badness, though he was posi-.
tive there was one. Yesterday the case
was discovered.
Allen G.. Peck, of company II. First
Rhode Island Light Artillery, was AL
lowed a pension on October, 10, 1891.
Certificate No. 67O,11j was issued tn him
and the case was ordered 10 be deted
from NJ ,rch 1, 1884, and the arrearares
at 81 a month amounted to about 1864
The records of the pension bureau de-
veloped the fact that no other cause was
given as the reason for the allowance of
Mr.. Peck,s claim than the "loss of hair
result of typhoid fever"
