qua counties, all OF which is lost.
In charging this investment Of $1O,.
600 in Hamilton county bonds 70 incom-
potency or dishonesty, the Capital has
failed to realize that ten or fifteen tunes
as much lncompetancy and dishonesty
has been manifested in the past by re-
publican boards. All we desire is simple
justice. Every imaginable plan has been
tried, and every imaginable scheme con-
cocted to defrsud the state through the
purchase of bad bonds since the present
administration came into power. The
board has rejected about 100000 in
bonds during the past year, because they
were not considered good securities, and
out of 100000 worth so far purchased,
these $4,000 of Hamilton county are the
only ones whose validity has ever been
questioned, and even in this case the
chance Of the state losing anything is
very remote.
There is one other matter mentioned
in the Capital which deserves attention.
1t is stated that Simon Greenspsn offered
these same bonds to the commissioners
some time ago, and they were refused,
and the Capital then says: "Why the
school fund commissioners refused the
defsulted securities year sgo and took
them this month ls not explained"
Allow me to say that Mr.. Greenspsn
never offered these bonds to the school
fund commissioners. Mr.. Greenspan did
offer some bonds of western county for
sale which were found on investigation
to be worthless, and this discovery, con
nscted with the fact that Mr.. Greenspsn
was in partnership with Auditor Hovey
in q very questionable transaction con-
nected with some Gray county bonds
made the board very suspicious OF him
It was, therefore, determined that nc
bonds offered by him would be consid
cred, no matter how they might appear
on their face. Not satisfied with receiving
q direct refusal from the board, Mr.
GresnspRn has had these same bonds, OF
parts Of them, offered to the board
through several different channels
thinking that they might be purchased
through favoritism to the party offering
them, but they have in all cases been re-
fused. Possibly this may have made
him feel little sore. No other motive
for his statement can be imagined.
In closing, allow me to say that the
present board challenges investigation Of
its work from beginning to the present
time, and 1 believe that the work OF nc
other board for the same length OF tine
will show as careful investment of the
same amount of money in securities
bearing as high rate OF interest with aE
small q proportion Of bad investments
as that Of the present board. Very re

have the moral courage to come squarsly
out and call himself q Populist. The
governor then called attention to the
fact that many Of The northern and west

deliberstion, he said:

in q somewhat excited and very fOrcible

Who Organized 1t.

The meeting at the Y. M. G.. A..
rooms Friday to organize local
humane society elected Rev. Taylor,
rector of the Episcopal church, to the
chair, and Geo. T. Barr was chosen
secretary.
There were present RevS. Lee W..
Beattie, J. D. Prior, w. J. Washburn,
A. r. Taylor, j. f. Stout, Drs. Tai
bert, j. HI. James, J. w. Andrews,
Hon. J. T. McCleary, Geo. T. Barr,
VIM. n. Plymat, f. L. Meservey, =
Holmes, w. W. p. Mcconnell, Nelson
Weed.
Mrs. Cause, the organizer of adult
and childrenS humane societies of
Chicago, outlined the work that the
society will do. She said St. Paul.
Minneapolis, Duluth, Winona, and
other Minnesota cities had swung
into line, and she had come to Man
kato in the hope that the idea would
receive the appreciation of the citi-
zens. The papers had fully explained
the duties of the society, and she
would say nothing further than that
the hope of the society was in the
children.
Rev. Beattie said he was most
heartily in favor Of the idea. He said
there were laws on the statute books
which covered the ground proposed
by the society, but that the odor of
bringing the offenders to justice was
such that no person, as an individual,
cared to make himself conspicuous in
the matter. He closed by citing a
number of instances of inhuman cru
city that came under his own observa-
tion in our own city.
Attorney Plymat and Or. Andrews
made brief addresses commentators
to the move, after which Mr.. Plymat
moved the immediate organization of
the society.
The name of the society was selected
as ''The Mankato Humane Society,""
Mrs. Cause then read the constitu-
ton and bylaws which she had pre-
pared. They were similar to those in
other cities. The articles were adopted
article by article.
They refer mainly to the creation of

SEWERAGE SECURED |
TEXARKANA TAKING FRONT
RANK AMONG OTHER CITIES.
An Ordinance, Establishing a Joint
Sewerage System, Passed by
Both City Councils.

Let all Texarkana be glad! We are
to have an adequate sewerage system
the crying need of the city for many
years past.
Last night, after careful considera-
ton, the East side city council, by
unanimous vote, passed sewerage
ordinance. The franchise for sewer
age, properly regulated, was given to
Mr.. Ward and associates, of Little
Rock. The West side city council
had previously adopted similar or
dinance, granting franchise to same
parties, and the system is to be a joint
one.
The rates to be charged are very
reasonable-lower than that paid by
residents of New Orleans, La, or Ty-
Ter, Texas, ranging from So to $15
per annum for private residences, and
proportionate rates for business
houses, hotels, etc. Entire sewer sys-
tenn is to be complete and in use with
in six months from signing up of con-
tract, so we may confidently expect it
finished before the coming summer
season.
The city (both sides) reserves the
right to purchase the system at the
end of ten years, although the fran
chisc is given for period of twenty
years.
Mr.. Ward and one or more of his
associates agreed OH the rates and
other details, regulating the system,
and doubtless in few days the bind
ing contract will be signed, and then
work ON the system will begin.
We congratulate the city officials on
both sides, on this wise move-"well
done, good and faithful servants"-to
you belong the credit of giving Tex
arkana sewerage, her acknowledged
greatest stneed. We congratulate our
city on. this forward step. Texsrkana
is certainly taking front rank among
other live, growing cltie'. The city's
permanent growth and prosperity, we
believe is now assured beyond doubt.
Nothing can stay her onward and up
ward march.

that We want them and want them
bad. We must make up our minds to
treat them right when they come, We
must aid them, in all laudable efforts,
to establish themselves, to
the extent of our ability. A spastie
effort will not suffice, and will prove
abortive if decided upon. The effort
must be a persistent one, and just as
sure as two and two make
four, the tide of immigration looking
for desirable homes will be duly in
fluenced by our representations. 1t is
hOmely illustration, but nevertheless
hits the BULBS eye, and we only use it
to simplify the situation. Every dol
lar brought to this state and every
extra bushel of grain raised contribute
their mite towards making the state
great, just as every ear of corn fed
hog in pen for the market creates
fat on jowls and hams alike.

SLEEPING ON HER RIGHTS.
Arkansas a Highway for Immigra-
ton to Other States.

Some of the most pertinent, If at
the same time unpleasant, truths yet
uttered on the subject of immigration
into this state are contained iu the
following excellent article from the
Arkansas Press:
Inside Of the past forty days it is es-
timated that over 1000 souls have mi
grated from Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia and East Tennessee, with a
fair representation from Virginia,
Maryland and Pennsylvania. Ninety
five per cent Of those from southern
states mentioned located in Texas,
while those from the other states Sc
lected, as q rule, Kansas as their FIJI
ture home.
Texas, Kansas and other western
states stated some time ago, in the
most convincing terms, that they
wanted the sturdy yeomanry in the
overcrowded east, whose desirability
was so prominently placarded by their
continuous efforts under very unfavor-
able circumstances to make a living on
farms, the vitality Of which was ex-
hausted by their forefathers. These
states did not simply make the all
nouncement and decide that further
efforts were not necessary. No, IN
deed They kept on talking, kept on
referring to the adaptability of their
soil, with equally persistent references
to their resources, and the people
commenced coming. On arrival the
new population found that they had
not been deceived, and they, too, join
ed the original takers, and thus the
army of takers In the west increases
and the army, hastening to the terri.
tory 30 highly praised, increases. AS
q result the grand cities Of the west
are as well known throughout the
world as London and New York
Who, in the state of Arkansas, possess
ing the least degree of state pride
does not feel flush of shame mantl,
their cheeks when they face the fact
that mammoth division of the grant
army that hastened to the west an(
made 1t what 1t Is today, passed en-
route through this state, entering a
the east gate and leaving at the ives
gate? II our full duty had been dis
charged, who doubts but that Dallas
Fort Worth, Waco and other thriving
magic interior Texas cities would bt
in the state of Arkansas, with Austin
Texas, coed sized village and Sar
Antonio trading post9
Our duty is plain. We must com
mcnce trying to convince the bon'
aud sinew of the overcrowded cas-
