THE STATE SENATRIAL QUESTION:

THE STATE ESENATRIALQ QUESTION:
In commenting upon the action
taken by the Carroll county con-
venticn the Harrison Times has
to say, "You can't do it gentle
man." Now we have given our
selves some trouble to hunt up the
records in this matter. The Car
rcll Progress of August 80, 1890,
contains the full proceedings of
last senatorial convention. We
find that Mr.. Talbert of Newton
county who was once a member Of
the senatorial committee and whose
place became vacant by his leaving
the state, never was chairman Of
the committee, consequently Mr..
Sal lmon who was chosen by the
county central committee to take
the place of Mr.. Talbert, had no
right to assume to be chairman
of the committee and to send
his proxy to Mr.. Holt.
Further, we find that HI. F.
Maggard was the actual cha rman
OF that committee, but that he
LETT the state afterwards, thereby
not only forfeiting his right to act
on any committee, but lost his cit
izenship as well, and as we under
stand is not legal voter of this
state, much less having the right to
transfer proxy to Mr.. Holt. 1t
is this informal proceedings that
We are condemning, this idea of a
few men without the shadow of
authority, trying to run the peo-
pie instead Of letting the people
take care OF themselves.
Carroll county wants nothing
but fairness and will not bo salts.
fed, or abide by anything less.
THE TRIBUNE does not champion
the cause of Mr.. Phillips because
he is a strict adherent TO tie
Democrat party, or because he is
opposed to the Republican party,
but we support him in considera-
tion of his eminent quail ficatior;
tor the reason that Carroll Is en-.
titled to the next senator, and we
venture to say that majority of
at least one thousand voters in the
district will agree with US.

SOMEBODY has figured it out that

Little Rock during the past 20
years, only II per cent are boys,
the other SO per cent being girls
THE trouble is" says writer in
that town, "that the boys get it into
their heads after they arrive at a
certain age that they are too large
to attend the public schools, and
their education must be completed
at some other institution. Thus
they abandon their studies, and,
in many instances, never take
them up again. The girls con-
tinue in school until they have
completed the course"
