SOME time ago we had occasion to remark that the really great papers of the State are for unconditional re peal, and mentioned as prominent in that list the Helena World and the Pine Bluff GRAPHIC. In the light of recent editorials, we think we shall have to add to that list the Gazette and the Democrat. Men and brethren, ye are heartily welcome into the field. The best papers in the South are all holding up the hands of Cleveland in the fight, and we are glad to find the Democratic administration has few strong supporters. Fort Smith Times.

TIE many friends of Col. k. H. Goekett in Arkansas. and elsewhere, will regret to know that the pres ent administration has not tendered him an appointment which he could accept, and which would be suit able recognition of his abilities and his services to the Democracy. The people have not forgotten his active part in both State and National politics. Col. Crockett is man of ad- mitted ability and unwaye1fng de- votion to his friends. The admins tration should have rendered him a first-class appointment long berfore this, and it is disappointment to his friends that it has not been done.-Stuttgart Chronicle.
 In the sentiments expressed above the GRAPHIC heartily concurs. A life time of service to the Demo- cratic party, such as Col Crockett has given, is pre-eminently deserv- ing of recognition and reward. Col. Bob Crockett has a multitude of friends here and elsewhere who will heartily indorse him for any posi- ton within the gift of the admins tration, and we hope ere long to chronicle his appointment to some good and profitable position.

SAN ANTONIO. Oct. 19.-AtSanderson 65 tramps boarded a Southern Pacific freight train. The authorities at Del Rio were wired, but were insufficient in number to eject them from the train, so they rode on to this city. When the train arrived here 30 of them slid off the train in the suburbs, but 35 of them were captured by the police. The tramps dld not molest the train or trainmen in the least further than to insist on riding. They say they are from California and are looking for work, being hauled free by the roads part of the way. Those captured were charged with vagrancy.

The oid Way and the New.

In the early history of our Gov ernment, and, indeed up to few years ago, when a Senator or a Congressman had a pecuuiarE in terest in any pending question, he took no part in the discussion, abstained from voting, and usually absented himself from his seat while the matter was under consid- eration. In those days it was con sidered a disgrace for any member of Congress to own stock or have any interest in any concern, the prosperity of which was in anyway affected by Congressional enact ments. "A Senator who would be- tray squeamishness like this in these days, says the St. Louis Post- Dispatch, would be looked upon as purist or over particular person afflicted with irridescent dreams and visions of the deealogue. His conduct would excite wide spread discussion and everybody would wonder what he meant by such old-fashioned foolishness. The men who own silver mines or smelters and get into the Senate by means of their financial power would have nothing at all to do if such code were to prevail They are in the Senate to take care of their own interests, not to serve the people. And similar motives actuate the men who are interested in syndicates and combines fostered by legislation Sometimes they are share holders, oftener sattor- neys, which means lobbyists with right to speak and vote. They are not representatives of the people. They are devoted to special inter- ests, and it does not matter in the least whether such interests are in harmony with the public good or not.
 This condition of affairs is con sequent upon the disappearance of the decalogue from politics. That code was pretty good guide in the early days when public men took 1 Democracy seriously and believed that a seat in the Senate was an honor, not an investment.
 l Nevertheless, there are many who like the old way best. They are 1 getting very tired of deals and com promises and want some straight forward legislative work done, de- signed solely with reference to the public welfare. This will be an un- usual spectacle, but 1t has pre-
