ONE TERN FOR STATE OFF,
GALS.

Tie bill introduced BY Representa-
tive Snyder in the Legislature, max
ing the Governor. the Secretary of
State. tile State Treasurer. the sIeritfs
and tieasnrers Of the parishes. and the
tleasuler> Of all municipal corporations
within the State. Ineligible for lie cleo
ton. Is a bill that will commend itself
to the general sense or tie communi-
tE.
The reasons are various why such a
bill should be on tile statnte book, and
they will readily suggest themselves TO
readers Of The Times Democrat. In
the tilst place, this is Democratic gov
eminent; and opportunity should be
given to Is many as possible, who are
tit and who are trusted by their fellow
citizens, to fill tie State and corporate
| offices. 1t is plain that if one man, or
one set Of men. be allowed to reed at
the public crib, nor for four years
nlone, but for eight years IN success
sion, the chances that many other de-
serving citizens of the same generation
Will have a similar opportunity be-
come very attenuated. The period OF
| holding public Office should for this
reason be restricted to four years at
| the most.
| If officials were debarred by law
from entering upon or even from SEEK
ing a second term. they would devote
themselves less to intrigue and schem-
/ ing py what means thev might sue
ceed themselves, nor would they spend
time in forming combinations and 9TH
er devices to help them to reelection,
but they would give themselves up
! single eyed to promoting the good
| government and to fnrthering the gen.
eral welfare Of tile State. At the same
ITtime. moreover, if they had any Of the
seeds Of erookedness latent in them,
they wonld have immeasurably less
chance Of developing their latent
crookedness in a single term than If
they had twice or thrice that time in
which to cultivate ana give scope to
their disguised rascality.
These are some of tie reasons why
Mr. Snyder's bill for making State Off
cials ineligible for election is COM
mendahle one and others will sug-
gest themselves to our readers. The
bill is the less Objectionable in that
it is not aimed at present officials,
Who will therefore be eligible for re-
election.-Times Democrat.

Safe Blowers at Work.

1t would seem that the towns and
cities of this state are, after a some
what lengthy respite, to be again
inflicted with the presence of that
genuine product of the East, the
safe blower. On Wednesday night
their advent was made known, at
Bald Knob, Ark, by the blowing
open of a safe in the business house
of j. B. O'Neal & Co., at that place.
1t is generally supposed that they
first went to the railroad quarry,
broke open the tool house and took
a sledge hammer and a chisel.
Armed with these they broke open
the window in the rear of the old
store. A large lot Of clothing was
piled up around the safe to deaden
the sound made when it was blown
open. The safe was blown to frag-
ments and goods scattered around
it and all wrecked. Everything of
value in the safe was gone, besides
several suits of clothing, shirts and
underwear. 1t is believed that af-
ter the robbery was through they
boarded the morning train for Lit
tie Rock.

Mahara's Minstrels.

We copy the following from a late
Louisville exchange; "a big and
brilliant audience filed the Buck.
ingham theatre last night to wei
come w, A. Maharas mammoth
colored operatic minstrels, their
first appearance in the city. The
company possesses merit far above
the average of minstrel shows.
Showing the demand Of civilization
for something to laugh at, they
carried the house by storm. Moon.
light terpischore won the esthetic
souls in the audience. 1t is worth
the price Of admission to see the
ebony colored son of Momus, Billy
Farrell, in his side-splitting comica
comicalities and funny falls, The
drum major drill can't be excelled
in fact each and every artist in this
company is a living photograph o.
fun, and in all it is the best al
around minstrel show that has Wis
tied Louisville for number o.
years"
The above company will make its
initial appearance at Ghios oper;
house on Thursday, March 1st.

JUSTICE WHITES CIRCUIT.

There is already much specula
tion among members of the Su
preme bench as to the judicial cir.
cult to which Justice-elect White
shall be assigned when he assumes
the role of Office. 1t is considered
likely that instead of taking nor.
thern, circuit, which was held by
the late Justice Blatchford the
new justice will be given a southern
circuit which will embrace the gull
states, on account of his knowledge
of the Napoleonic code. Many
cases are before the courts of the
southern circuits dependent upon
the code, and Senator Whites
knowledge of local practice would
be advantageous. Justice Jackson
is at present assigned to the circuit
so a shift would be necessary in the
event of Senator Whites assign.
ment to that field. 1t is suggested
that Justice Brown might be trans.
ferred to northern circuit, where
his experience with litigation involv-
ing great commercial interests
would be particularly advantageous,
and that Justice Jackson might be
given the circuit now presided over
by Justice Brown.

love for the young lady many times,
and spoke often of her many charms
and accomplishments, He took
such great pains to impress on Mrs,
Blackburn the sterling worth of the
girl that the elder lady took her un-
der her chaperonage and the two
were often seen together on pub
lie occasions.
Mrs. Blackburn said that the
Congressman had often told her
that he had explained to Miss Pol
lard that they could not be married
at that time without scandal, and
that the ceremony would have to
be postponed, Just what he meant
by scandal Col, Breckenridge never
explained, but he said woman in
Washinton had to be very careful
or she would lose her good name.
Madeline, he said, had preserved
hers because she had lived there
years in a convent,
Mrs. Blackburn said that Miss
Pollard was very jealous of Col.
Breckenridge.
The purport of the entire deposi-
ton went to show that Breckenridge
at least openly loved and respected
Madeline Pollard and that he had
promised to make her his wife.

A Saving Clause.

The Arkansas Gazette, of today,
has this to say of Judge L. A. Byrne
special attorney for the Government
and the election cases:
Judge IA. A. Byrne, appointed
special United Ltates District at
torney by the Attorney-General of
the United States to prosecute the
election cases now pending in this
district has been in the city await
ing the arrival of a copy of the re-
peal of the Federal election law.
He found that the law contains a
saving clause providing it shall not
interfere with any of the cases now
pending. He thereupon asked Judge
Williams to set the cases for trial
on April 9, next, which was accord
ingly done.

BRECKTNRIDGE-- E--P0LLARD.

Public interest in the notorious
breach of promise and damage suit
against Congressman Breckenridge
Of Kentucky, by Miss Madeline Pol
lard, is still unabated, Much of the
evidence is alike blackening to the
characters Of both parties, as might
have been expected. Breckenridge
cannot hope to get out of it with
out being permanently besmirched,
if the alleged statements of Mrs.
Julia Blackburn are correctly Civ
en-, The deposition Of this good
lady, wife of eX-Gov Luke p,
Blackburn, is very damaging to
Breckenridge. A late Washington
dispatch says of it;
1t scores Congressman Breckin-
ridge vigorously and makes out a
better case for the girl than even
her friends had hoped for. In the
deposition Mrs. Blackburn says that
the Congressman brought Miss Pol
lard to her, introducing her for
mally, and explaining that the rea.
son for his 50 doing was to bring
her under the good influence of a
woman Of Mrs. Blackburn's charac.

PENNYwRIGHT POWELL.
The Man Captured at Denver, Colora-
do, Proves to be the Fifth
0lyphant Bandit.

0lyphant Bandit.
The suspect, James Raphelford,
whose capture was effected at Den.
yer, Colorado, few days ago, turns
out to be Pennyweight Powell, one
of the Olyphant train robbers, and
the fifth of the eight bandits will
soon be within the walls of the pen
itentiary at Little Rock, or behind
the bars of the Jackson county Jail.
1t is reported that his brother, Sam
Powell, Bob Chesney and Oh Tru-
man, the remainder of the gang
who are still at large are in close
quarters and that their capture is
momentarily expected
Requisition papers for Powells
return to the scene of his crime in
this State, have been issued from
the State Department, and were
on yesterday, placed in the hands
of Special Agents, Faulkinbury and
Weigle, to be served as directed, on
the proper officials of Colorado 1t
is thought that the Governor of
Colorado will not hesitate to honor
the requisition from this State. The
officers charged with this mission,
left Little Rock for Denver, at 1;30
o'clock p. m. yesterday.
Some idea of how matters get
mixed up by indiscriminate hand
ling, especially when handled by
those at a distance, may be CLEANED
from the following:
A st, Louis evening paper gives
Detective G. H. Thiel, of st. Louis,
the credit of capturing Padgett,
Wyrick, Brady and Manser, when
the facts are that that the first
capture, if any that he has made,
was at Denver, that of Penny
weight Powell,
The statement is a gross injus-
tice to the brave officers of Arkan-
sas who risked their lives in the
captures accredited to Thiel,
Sheriff Patterson, of Woodruff
County, and Deputy Sheriff Pen
nington, of Independence County,
and Frank Lippman, of Olyphant,
caught Padgett and Brady the
next day after the robbery, Satur-
day, near jamestown Man ker,
alias Williams, was caught by Char
lie Copeland and Sheriff Hodges, of
Searcy County, in that county.
Wyrick was caught by B. Helmack,
Special Detective in the service of
the Iron Mountain, and Albert
Thomasson, Deputy Marshal of the
Fort Smith District in Crawford
county.
The names Of the remainder of
the bandits were ascertained
through the efforts of Heck Bru-
ner, brave Deputy of the Western
District Padgett made a partial
confession to G. B. Johnson, jailor
at Batesville and afterwards made
full confession to Superintendent
j, E. Rose of the Iron Mountain
1t is also reported that Powell made
a full confession, which is correct
in every particular Powell will be
brought to- the State Penitentiary,
and kept there for safe keep
ing until next term Of the Jackson
County Circuit Court.

TO UPHOLD THE GOVERNMENT.

The American citizen recognizes one
duty above all others. No matter what
eNcitements may prevail no matter what
grievances may exist no matter what
passions may be aroused, law and order
must be preserved and the authority OF
the Government must be upheld
In the American Republic the Govern
ment is the people, and in upholdlng the
Government the American people up
hold themselves. The cause OF law and
order Il their own cause. Many labor
troubles have occurred in which public
sympathy has been clearly ON the side
Of labor But whenever law and order
have been violated and the legitimate
acts OF the authorities have been vio-
lently resisted u revulsion has taken
place in popular sentiment.
The present railroad troubles In the
West are of a very serious character
and have a very wide scope. But when
violent resistance Is offered to the orders
and processet OF the United states
courts, when resort Is had to lawiess-
ness and disorder. when property Is
wantoniy destroyed and when violent
resistance IL made or threatened to the
regularly constituted authorities. then
all consideration of the merits or demer-
its of the quarrel Is pushed aside and
the people unite In the determination
that law and order must and shall be
preserved
That 10 the sentiment nov prevailing
throughout the country. 1t Is simple
madness to disregard 1t. That Is the de-
termination the American people have
reached. Nothing Is now said about the
cause Of the troubles. Everything Is
merged In the one feeling that the man
dates OF the courts must be respected
order must be preserved and the laws
must be enforced. cost what 1t may.

the crib IL a public nuisance, and that
there Is constant and fragrant abuse
OF the rules OF the Health Board on the
island. an order was issued yesterday
that an opening shall be made in the
cribwork SO that the scows may enter
and unload in the deep water inside
the crib. Then the effective Wolff dis
infectant can be used on the refuse
deposited around the cribwork.
The objection OF the authorities to
sending the scows to sea to unload out
side Sandy Hook In caused by the ex-
pcnse to the contractor. The improved
supervision OF the harbor compels the
scows 10 be sent out with light loads,
no as to prevent the refuse from being
washed overheard In transit.
But two considerations are vastly
more important than cost. one Is the
preservation OF the public health: the
other is the prevention OF the filling up
of the harbor. The subject IL OF too
serious a character to be trined with,
and II there Is any job connected with
the Rikers Island crib 1t cannot be too
speedily exposed and stopped. The
people are getting accustomed to zee

PUSH 1T AHEAD.

The wrsngling Reed led new fiilbus-
tering movement In the House yesterday
with the object Of delaying action on
the Tariff bill The obstructionists sue
ceeded In preventing the bill from being
reported back to the House 80 as to be
put In conference last night before ad-
iournment. II this Is matter to be
proud OF. the Reed nlibusters can boast
Of having thrown the conference over
until Monday. but they Will then be
taken In hand and whipped into decency
by the power OF new rule.
The majority will now be to blame II
they submit to any more clustering and
bullying from the swashbucklers OF the
minority. The bill Is In the House now,
not in the Senate. and not minutes
more delay than II unavoidable should
be allowed to take place.
1t Is believed that Mr.. Bourke Cochran
will be on the Conference Committee,
and he will stand firmly for restora-
ton Of the bill to the principles OF Dem
ocratic tariff reform.
