REFERRING to the policy in this coun-
try that tends to depreciate railroad Sc
curities by warning upon the roads, and
thus impairing their efficiency and their
development. and depriving them of the
ability to command either foreign or
home capital, Isaac L. Rice, distin-
guished publieist, says in the Forum:
Yet the development and the efficiency of
the railroads is a condition precedent to the
development OF the resources OF the country.
1t has been forgotten that fortunes are made
on the "be2r' side as well as on the "bull''
side OF the stock market; and much 'anti-
railroad" legislation, instead of being the
tended to be- has left to the millionaires the
amplest scope for increasing their fortunes by
selling short in anticipation of Just such
legislation and during Its progress.
And further on he points out that be-
cause of the unwise policy referred to.
sit has come to pass that in our country,
rapidly growing in population, where for
that very reason railroad investments
should have the credit of Government
securities, railroads having an aggregate
capitalization of $1,000. 900, 900 out of total
of SIC, 900, 900, 600, are bankrupt and in the
hands of receivers"

IMPORTANT CASES DECIDED

In the United States court, at Ft.
Smith, Ark, presiding Judge Parker
rendered decisions in two very inn
portant cases, in which the plea of u.s.
ury was set up by plaintiffs. The
Judge rendered a decision adverse
to the plaintiffs in both cases, of War
ren vs.. Nettles and Herndou VS.. Sid
way. They are usurv cases, and the
court held that the agents were the
agents of the borrowers and not of
the lenders, and held further that un-
der the statute a testimony must show
q strict preponderance Of evidence be-
fore the court would feel authorized
to declare such contract usurious.
This decision coming from SO high
a legal authority as Judge Parker,
will strike severe blow to the hopes
of numerous litigants in this State,
so far as their hoped for relief, in the
Federal courts is concerned. There
are scores of similar cases now pend
ing in the State and Federal courts Of
Arkansas, where the plaintiff seeks
annual an usurious contract and re-
gain lands and other property forfeit
ed thereof.

SENATOR JONES' IDEA.

The one subject of paramount i'm
portance just now, in official circles, is
the increasing deficit in Government
funds and the inadequacy of Federal
income, from all its different sources
Of revenue, to meet the necessary ex-
penses Of the Government. Many diff
ferent and widely varying theories
have been advanced, but to Senator
James X. Jones, Of Arkansas, is due
the credit of Offering the simplest,
most expedient and best remedy for
the evil yet advanced. He is of the
opinion that additional revenue, so
greatly needed, TO the amount of $32,-
100000 might be raised by adding q
dollar per barrel to the tax on beer.
In presenting his views he is thus re-
ported;
"Beer is now taxed dollar per bar
rel There are 32,000,000 barrels OF
the beverage manufactured in the
United States, so it is plain to be seen
that if we must increase the revenue,
as 1t appears that we mus, If the ex-
penses of the Government are to con-
tinue as at present, an addition Of a
dollar per barrel would help out very
materially. The total amount realized
would be equal to about half the esti-
mated deficit under the Wilson bill
when il becomes law. know that
it is objected that ii would not be pol
itic to tax the poor mans beverage,
but do not think politics should be
taken into consideration in arriving at
conclusion in so important matter
as the raising Of revenue for great
government. | contend, howeverthat
this increased tax would not affect the
consumer at all. 1t would add only
about one-Gfth Of cent per glass TO
the cost of beer, and it would Of course
be impossible to add this amount to
the retril price OF an article. As q
matter of fact, beer would now be
sold for one or two cents less than il
is but for the difficulty in making
change and the objection most people
have to carrying pennies"

THE PLAY.

Owing to the very disagreable state
of the weather. last evening, the
audience, which witnessed the Craigen
Paulding company's presentation of a
"Duel of Hearts," was desparingly
small. Even this great draw back
proved insufficient TO dampen the
arder, or cloud the excellence of this
justly popular company. From the
rising of the curtain to its drop, on
the iinal scene, the play was faultless-
ly rendered. Native genious taking
the place of artificial enthnsiam, empty
seats commanding the same careful
reading of the lines and faithful re-
production of character that crowd
ed house is wont, alone, to receive.
The leading members of the company
are all artists Of acknowledged talent
and acquired culture, while the lesser
lights constitute an able and thorough
ly satisfactory support. We regret
that an inclement evening prevented
what would otherwise have been a
large and thoroughly appreciated
audience.
By universal request of those pres
ent, last evening, the company has con-
serted TO return here and repeat the
performance, of last night, on Monday
evening next. Let our Theatre goers
turn out en-masse, and show to the
company that amount Of appreciation
which it's members SO richly merit and
deserve.

WOODRUFF AGAIN.
A Six Per Cent Funding Bond Pre-
sented to Treasurer Morrow
for Payment.

On Monday morning, at Little
Rock, Gordon Peay, cashier of w. B.
Worthen's bank in that city, present
ed six per cent, funding bond No. 1889
to State Treasurer Morrow, for re-
demption.
An examination of the treasurer's
books showed that it had been paid
in 1879, and Mr.. Morrow refused to
pay 1t. Including interest it amount
ed to $4,000. 1t is endorsed on the
back by ex-Treasurer Woodruff,
stamped and Registered 1885"
Upon examining the register the leaf
where the bond should have been was
found to be cut out and missing.
Bonds when redeemed at that time
were not defaced in any way as they
are now, and the supposition is that
all the bonds on that page were re-
sold after having been paid.
Governor Fishback urged the last
legislature to pass law ordering all
outstanding bonds to be presented for
stamping and registration, making 1t
a peuitentiary oflense to pay one not
stamped and registered, or even TO
have one of that kind in possession.
There is no other safeguard for the
protection Of the state against fraud
The governor says there may be a
quarter of million of such bonds
held by different parties, and they
may be the cause Of much trouble.
He says this bond shall not be paid.
Mr.. Peay thinks there is some mis-
take, and that when it is thoroughly
Investigated 1t Will be found to be all
right.

FLORIDA TROOPS ARRIVE.

Jacksonville, January 23-There will
be spectacular feature in the record
of pugilsm in Jacksonville today be-
fore the sun goes down. Nearly half
the militiamen of the State of Florida
will arrive in the city today, and the
bright uniforms aud shining guns
of the citizen soldiers will interest the
population at large and delight the
colored contingent in particular. This
will comprise the entire second battal-
lion of the State troops.
A letter was received in this city
from distant point, saying that a
convlvial reception of one of the de-
tachments of MALTA would surrey
crafty the men of that command and
it was not unlikely that they might
stack their guns on the street corner
in order to respond without being
hampered.
Just how far, the writer of the
above letter, may be mistaken in the
premises he has LAIN down can not be
determined. Certain it is however
that neither the members Of the club
nor the public, at large, had hoped to
get rid of the military bugaboo either
so easily or readily, as he suggest. 1t
is known that proposition, emanat-
ing from the club, has been made to
defer the fight until Saturday, but nc
definite arrangements to that end have
been made public. The injunction
case will be called to-day and the

CONGRESS AT WORK.
The Sugar Bounty Defeated in the
House by a Decisive Vote.

AaOaoO W q 1OSAoANC
Those people who favor subsidy
from the Government to sugar pro-
ducers together with the other class
who have stood out for an import tax
on that very necessary article,are COM
panions in misfortune, as both classes
met a viritable Waterlooi in the House,
on Monday.
In the first place the bounty prOvid-
ed for sugar in the present sugar bill
was knocked out of 1t, and left sugar
as naked as corn is. The Louisiana
people made terrible fight against
what appeared to be inevitable, but it
was no use. 1t has always been thought
that this most abominable protective
feature of the bill was bound to meet
the displeasure of the House, but it
was thought by the friends of sugar
that they might as well make fight
when the assault came on this feature,
as it would probably create sympa-
thy besides accustoming them to war
when the matters of putting an import
tax on sugar would come up. When
the House got through with the boun-
ty feature of the bill by such large
majority, a vote of 1876 favorable and
SO unfavorable, it wanted more of the
same kind of legislation and forth
with destroyed the tariff on refined
sugar by vote of 1877 to SO.
The above rate practically closed
Mondays session in the House and
that body adjourned to yesterday,
Tuesday, morning when the sucject
was again taken up.
During the morning session the House
determined upon the abolition of the
duty on refined sugar, which was
passed upon just before the House adj
journed Monday night, an amend
ment offered by Mr.. Robertson, one
of the Louisiana sugar men. A way
out of the confusion which existed
upon the effect of the amendment
adopted Monday night was found af'
ter two hours discussion Of the par.
liamentary situation by submitting
the question to the House as to wheth
er the Warner amendment placing
refined sugar on the free list should be
considered as a substitute for the Rob
ertson amendment. This was decid
ed affiirmatively, and then by an over
whelming vote in which the Republi
cans Joined with the radical Democratic
against the sugar men and severa
members of the ways and means COM
mittee the substitute was adopted
With regard to the sugar schedule
therefore the committee Of the whoie
has abolished the bounty aud placed
all sugar both raw and refined upon
the free list.

SUGAR ON THE FREE LIST.
McRae's Amendment to the Tariff
Bill Adopted.

/
The DEMOCRAT has all along bitter
ly opposed the sugar bounty law, and
when the Wilson bill proposed to con.
tinue that iniquity of the Mckinley
robber tariff, though in lesser degree,
we emphatically protested against it..
Now, we are indeed proud to know
this bounty has been completely
knocked out, and through the efforts
of our energetic congressman, Hon
Thos. G. McRae, for which we give
him all honor and credit. Thank
God, sugar is to be on the free list.
Late Washington press dispatches
thus give all account Of this knock
out" in the House:
On Jan. 22nd, after the disposition
of a small amount of routine business
the house, at 1106, went into COM
mittee of the whole to consider the
tariff bill, Mr. Richardson Oem) of
Tennessee in the chair.
Pursuant to the special order adopt
ell last Friday the sugar schedule was
taken up. 1t was agreed that the
Louisiana delegation be allowed one
hour out of the three hours for de-
bate, and that the chair should control
the other tive.
Mr. McRae (Dem of Arkansas pre-
sented the amendment outlined in
Saturdays dispatches abolishing the
bounty on sugar and putting sugar on
the free litt. He delivered an earnest
plea against continuing the bounty in
view of the depleted condition of the
treasury. He declared himself an
advocate of free sugar and no bounty.
A number of other amendments and
substitutes were offered, after which
discussion occurred priorto voting on
the same. Bre ckinridge, of ArkaD-
sas opposed McRae's amendment, and
supported the Wilson bill granting a
sugar bounty.
The amendment and substitutes pre-
sented to the sugar schedule were
then read prior to taking a vote.
The first amendment was the one
offered by Mr.. McRac suspending the
bounty on sugar and putting it on the
free list. TO this amendment Mr..
Mieklejohn (Rep.) of Nebraska offered
an amendment substituting the pro-
visions of the existing law.
Mr.. Mieklejohn's amendment was
first voted on and defeated, ayes 81,
nays 1853. Among those who voted
for this amendment we're the follow
ing Democrats: MesSrs. Davis, Robert
son, Meyer, Price aud Blanchard,
all of Louisiana.
Mr.. Prices amendment was also de-
feated, yeas 10, nays 1874. The follow
ing Democrats voted for the amend
ment: Messrs. Boatner, Price, Blau-
chard, Davis and Meyer of Louisiana,
Black of Illinois and Bailey of Texas.
Mr.. Harter'e vote was lost on viva
voce vote.
The vote was taken on the McRae
amendment and it was agreed to on a
vote by tellers, yeas 1875, nays GO.
Among those who voted for the
amendment were the following re-
publieans Messrs, Grosvenor, Dal-
zell, Ellis, Moon, Keifer, Mccall, Can
non, Wilson, Washington, Lacey, Hop
kins, Haugen, Mcdowell, Settle,
Scranton, Marsh, Doolittle and Funk.
