FROM the ocean.bound shores
Of the British Isle comes the cry
for water. The immense drouth
OF the past three months has dried
mp the grasses and destroyed all
prospects for any kind of crop.
The earth is dry and cracked and
vegetation is dusty aud dead.
Grain and hay are advancing in
prices and all kinds Of vegetables
are bringing phenomenal prices.

The Legislature Of Illinois
seems disposed to adopt q very
heroic method for the destruction
of trusts. A bill has passed the
State Senate providing that no
contracts with trust shall be
binding. and that persons max.

Should such a law survive test
of its constitutionaliiy it would
put mn end to trusts Ia one State

would lie based on the same basis
az transactions nj the gaming
table, aud unless the stake out"
proved enormous no trust could
long survive the ordeal.

that what seems TO he the best

GOODNESS aud forbearance one

with this pertinent suggestions:
Maybe our wise Congressman
will soon come to their senses and
do what any ordinary financier
could see last winter must be-
done. We trust all patriotic men
will lay aside their party prefer
ences long enough TO jointly
change our laws Mt an early date
aud give needed relief to the
whole country"
Gov. FIsHBAcK, OF Arkansas,
quotes from the late census and
proves that the people Of Arkansas,
who pay SO per cent. of the tax
which supports tie public schools
Of the state, are not only educating
a larger percentage of their own
white children than New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey aud Pennsyl-
vania, but that, in addition to this,
they are educating larger per cent
age Of the negro children of the
state than New Hampshire, YER
mont, Massachusetts,, Rhode ISLAND,
Connecticut. New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, and even
highly cultured Massachusetts
are educating of their own children,
who are bone Of their bone and
siesh of their own flesh. And yet
that land is spoken OF as ''benighted
Arkansas" They might send a
few missionaries to Massachusetts,.
