Mardi Gras mt Little Rock.

A special from Little Rock, Ark. sent
last night, says: The city is patrolled to-
night by 100 extra police and over 300 citi-
zens, who volunteered during the day to
assist the authorities in maintaining order
throughout the city. A dozen masquerade
balls are in progress, but no one is allowed
to appear on the streets wearing q mask.
BY order of Chairman Rottalen of the vigil
lance committee, suspicious persons found
on the streets Of the city after o'clock,
who were unable to give satisfactory ac-
counts Of themselves. were taken to the
police station. About fifty arrests have
pect to identify several who are responsible
for the recent hold-ups that have occurred
In the city. Everything is very quiet in the
downtown districts, the streets being al
most entirely deserted.

Twenty-one indictments for election
frauds perpetrated during the fall election
have been returned by the special grand
jury at Kansas City which since late in
January has been investigating charges of
corruption made during the past few
months. OF the offenders, Justice Of the
Peace Owen W. Kruger, against whom.
there are two indictments, IS the most i'm
portant and best known. He is charged
with being an accomplice in ballot-box
stuffing and other crookedness The frauds
were all in the interest of the democratic
party, except that Of o. w. Kruger, who
was the republican candidate for justice Of
the peace, who received a majority almost
exactly the same as that given to the DEM
ocratic ticket. This fact in itself attracted
attention to Kruger,

f. II. Sanborn's RecOllcctionS of the
Old-Time Struggles.
F. B. Sanborn the veteran correspondent
and anti-slavery associate Of John Brown,
Emerson, Garrison and Wendell Phillips,
has letter in the Springfield Republican
of yesterday. in which he says:
Some of the Boston newspapers men
ton the friendly reception that Douglass
Of late years has more than once had in
that city. But it is not yet thirty-five
years since broadcloth mob in Boston,
among whose silent or active promoters
were the fathers and grandfathers of many
citizens now prominent, took possession Of
a meeting at the fremont Temple, where
I was presiding and Douglass was an ex-
pected speaker. got the police on the side
ing no doubt,) and had Douglass removed
from the hall by two policemen for dis
turbing' their burglarious meeting. ad-
journed the legitimate meeting to colored
the gorgeous monstrosity of the state
house extension now sprawls itself, and In
the evening we held crowded and I'M
vexed assembly, where Douglass had his
full say. But Us we were leaving the tenn
pie in the early afternoon, college class
mate Of mine, who had been mildly active
in the mob, said to me, This will help our
trade with South Carolina'-and the good,
simple soul SAID II IN all seriousness. From
that state Of things how remote do we
now seem? Yet Douglass was then well
pest middle life, and, till he met and shar-
ed the confidence Of John Brown, had
probably no hope that he should ever see
the freedom Of his race.
''Some accounts of Douglass speak Of his
alleged Implication in the plans Of Brown
in Virginia. He has left no room for doubt
on that score; for in his Life and Times
Hartford, 1882 Douglass told how Brown,
in Springfield, ss early as 1S47, impaired
to him the plan of invading Virginia; and
Douglass was one of the last of his secret
supporters to hold an interview with
Brown, at Chambersburg august 21-22
1850, which he has also described in the
same volume. In consequence Of his con-
nection with Browns scheme he went to
England in the next November, as Edwin
Morton had done a few weeks earlier, and
for the same reason-coupled with the wish
to prevent the part taken by Gerrit Smith
from coming to the full knowledge Of the
Shareholders. Douglass was sent for by
Gov. Wise of Virginia; Mr.. Smith and Nor
ton were summoned as witnesses by Mason
and Jefferson Davis, along with George De
Bapt of Detroit and the late Lewis Hayden
Of Boston-and Mason notified his Senate
committee, with true Virginia hauteur
(May "a, 1900, that the said Morton could
not be found; that Mr.. Smiths health was
such as to render it improper to bring him
here and that said De Bapt and Hayden
were negroes So, in the dialect of slav-
cry, was Douglass; but his fame will out
last that of Mason, both as orator and pa
triot.''

CHECK ON BANK FRAUDS.

Every EmpIoye should Re Compelled to
 Take a Nearly Vacation.
 Every president or other superior officer of bank should be required to take at least one Jnopth's vacation in course of each year This should be regarded as a matter of courtesy, but should be insisted upon by every board of directors winch has the true inter ests of his stockholders at heart. The bank presidents who are members of the clearing house committee should set all other bank officers a good cX- ample in this respect. During the month that the president is away his work must be done by some one else. During the month that the cashier is absent some one else must perform his duties. The same with the head book keepers and others in superior places in the banks employment There can not, says the New York Sun, be q more healthy ventilation of a banks methods than to have compulsory annual vacations. Granting the vaca- tious of presidents and others, the next obvious thing Is to shift all the iu- ferioi employees of each bank at inter vals inore or less frequent, but always less than a year. The advantages of having Q man or rather human macl inc, perfect at one ledger are cn- tirch' uver-borne by the freedom from fraudulent risk and the iieXibility of method insured by changing the mere clerks around. A clerk of ten yeart service in a bank should be able to i'll any place iE il under the eye of pres dent But how will he ever at tain the necessary knowledge if his ten years labor has been on one ledger mar ked A to K?
 astly, there is an absurd fiction that a bank clerks time is his own outside uf business hours, This should be cx- plodcd by the latest dcfalcation. If the directors of bank happen to find out that the president is taking flyers on the stock exchange they will not say it is that presidents own business, but will look sharply after the cash balance and will probably find new president If a president, in turn, finds out that his cashier is llung beyond his means he win naturally infer that the bank is somehow paying for the addi. tional luSuries Tn short, every man who handles the money of others in trust for them Is liable to have his pri- yate way of living and his personal amusements made the subject of is' quiry. It is part of the price he pays for the early comfort of being bank clerk. IL will follow him through life as long as he is in fdueiary position.
