a MEETING of all parties interested
in building operations in Washington
was held in that city last night, to con
slider what could be done to stimulate
such operations, 50 as to give work to
the unemployed All the people who
supply materials for such work agreed
to lower their prices down to the verge
Of loss until next July, but the labor
unions refused to make any reduction,
and their delegates commencing aigu-
ments in favor Of single tax theories,
the meeting adjourned, and resulted
in signal failure A starving men pre-
fer half q loaf to no bread, the working
men OF Washington certainly CAM be
in dread OF starvation.

TIE INTERNAL. REVENUE BILL
The democratic members of the New
York delegation in the House held a
caucus yesterday evening and decided
only to oppose the internal-revenue
bill while it is being considered as an
amendment to the tariff bill. The eau
Gus action of the New York democrats
is taken as an indication that they will
not yield their allegiance to tariff re-
form for the sake of defeating the in
ternal revenue bill The danger that
will threaten the Wilson tariff bill If
the internal revenue propositions are
added to it will be the probability that
ali its opponents-democrats and re-
publicans-will join in an effort to have
the bill recommitted to the ways and
means committee.

Mr. CHANDLER made speech in the
L. 5. Senate Yesterday, in which he
reiterated his tritc old assertions in
respect of fraudulent elections in the
South. The spectacle of the chief
agent in the Presidential fraud of 1876,
the man who manipulated the theft
of the Florida vote, and who sent the
famous telegram to Mr.. Hayes, advis-
ing him to hold on, after he had con-
coded his defeat, preaching agent
frauds, was a sight to see, and was
amusing to saints as we'll as to sinners.

THE jury system of our country is not what it ought to be. and is suscep- rible to great abuse by lawyers who seek an advantage for their client in I'se5ffniealities of the law. There is no .doubt in our mind that progress has
 0utgTown the system and that it is at least quarter of century behind the times. The press becomesmore awake each year to the injustice Of selecting ignorant, narrow minded and prejudice nursing juiymen. Under the present challenge system. intelligence is a dis qualification. and if man reads a newspaper, there is very little nkeli- hood that he will be called upon to act as judge in our courts of justice.
 There are many other abuses equally unjust and unprogressive. which are not in harmony with our advanced civ ilization, and which bring odium and ridicule upon the courts and disrespect to the law. Many attorneys are dis satisfied with our jury system and do not hesitate to condemn it in unmeas- ured terms. The Prairie County Moni- tor, with its usual good sense, quotes T prominent attorney as saying that 'juries are failures and that the sys- tenn is all wrong that three judges would do twice the amount of bsuiness. st half the expense. And says ..an of which we indorse. as the common juror is filled with prejudice and invariably comes to conclusions from personal considerations. He either follows one of the attorneys in the case, or is gov erned by friendship for one O. the other Of the litigants. The constitution ought to be changed and the whole system overhaused, so as to meet the of an enlightened age. We have been long enongh plodding our way in darkness, let us wake up to the true situation and change the whole system from the beginning"

TIIs paragraph We take from the brave and noble FORREST CITY TIsIEs: The law is too often an uncertain agent of justice, and law-abding citi- zens must tremble for the future when a jury of their countrynen acquit crim- inals on a mere technicality of law, and allow them to go nnpunishe6.

PERHAPS the greatest drawback to Forrest City's prosperity is the utter lack of good roads. Our public high ways are Tn deplorable condition worse. 1t is claimed by those who have traveled over the county extensively, than ever before in the history of this section One of our prominent business men was at Colt this week and heard 2. gentleman speak of having sent to Nynne for medicine the night before. He asked why Forrest City had not re- 'ceived this patronage, and was told that the roads leading to this place were in such wretched condition that t was really nearer to Wynne, because the roads in Cross county were better.
 The truth of the matter is the roads ali over the county are almost impassa- ble. Somebody is to blame for this state of affairs. and the remedy should be sought out and applied at once. No community can prosper without good Ioaos. and there IS enough money spent on St. Francis c0gnty's public high ways. If intelligently applied. to keep them m 3 fairly good shape. As the matter stands, this money is worse thaC asted. < few sh0velsful of dirt and little brush are dumped into a bad place" and the workers retire. This goes on from year to year. and the r0ads are continually getting worse. The work should be thoroughly done or Ike l'eon'e should not be taxed for road lBx~pcseS.

THE RETURN OF HOPE.

Last night wanderer weary
Came knocking at my heart,
Complained Of fate relentless
And strove to rend apart
The tough, unyielding fibre
And find q resting there,
And IL cried for a nook TO nestle
And weep out its despair.
What wonder that clasped it
And gladly let 1t In.
Kissed and caressed its touselled head
And its features wan and thin.
For its lineaments remembered
Though years had robbed the view.-
II was fair and lovely In its youth
When first its power knew.
Hope was the name they gave 1t,
But harsh, Implying fate
Robbed ID of all its sweetness
And filled it's heart with hate.
Hate that its soft alluring
And its innocent, loving tone
Had called me to great endeavor,
Too great for me alone.
But now that Hope, repentant,
Repentant findeth me.
Without that sweet companion
Dead must endeavor be.
So gladly take the wanderer
Back TO my heart and life,
Back to the heart that scorned IL once.
Back to my toll and strife.
