THE TIMES las purposely refrained from discussing local or state issues which will inject themselves or be in- jected into the approaching campaign. The election is nine'n,onths off. The state convention perhaps six and the local primaries a month earlier. We think that now it may not be too soon to begin to cast about us for men to capably discharge the duties of the va rious public trusts, and see what poli- cies and revolutions seem to be neces- sary and pertinent to the situation. In the beginning we wish to say, there is not whit of the man wershipper in TIE TIMES. We want men who are sober, honest. patriotic, brave, capable. intelligent and in touch with the mass es, not too ''stuck up" to know their friends when they meet them in the road, and, withal, pure and undecided gentlemen. No man coming up to less than this standard should offer for office, and if he should, the people ought to know their duty in the pri- maries. With such men in the race, we care not for his war record, we care not for the clothes he wears, nor the size of his purse, nor the number ot titles he writes to his name. A plain honest man suits us better than the polished demagogue. The man who easily makes promises and easily fails to keep them-we. want none of him. Give us the men for officers who live within their means and pay their debts. Men who can appreciate the enterprise of his neighbor, and wish him God speed and give him pecuniary aid. Give us men who have faith in Arkan
 sas, and who would prefer to patroni2e his neighbor to sending abroad for his supplies. For in such men only lies tue rock of hope, and to that class alone. may we look for results credita- ble to 'our beloved commonwealth. This much as to men. Let us think on these things, and as we pass along down the lane of~life, nearing the day when we shall select our standard bearers, let us put the men whom we vote for to the test, and from hence, until the ides of September mere.fully discuss local and state politics.

Secretary Carlisle is still harassed by the steady sinking of the cash balance in the treasury and the constant dwind- ing of his gold reserve. That which was totave been the paHacea has ap- parantly failed to prove as efiicacious as a remedy as it was thought to be, and the secretary is now calling Justify upon congress for bond issue where with to meet the treasury deficit and fill the gap that yawns between the expen- ditures and the receipts. All this while there lies idle in the treasury large amount of silver bullion that might be made available to meet current def- ciencies if only the-government had the
 nerve to use It. But any suggestion of utilizing the seigni0rage in this way at once causes aviolent -5pasm in Wall street and threat that every gold coin in the country will at once take passage
