Interesting Features of the
Next General As.
scmbly.
POLITICS, RELIGION, BIRTHPLACE.
Democrats and Native Arkansians,
Methodist and PresbYterians
Predominant.

A contemporary says: The next
house of representatives in this
state will be composed of eighty
eight Democrats, ten Populists and
two Republicans. OF this number
thirty-eight are farmers, thirty
five lawyers, eight teachers, three
merchants, three ministers, five
newspaper men, four physicians,
one insurance agent and lumber
man, one county clerk. In religion
they are classed as follows. Bap-
fists, twenty-seven; Methodists,
thirty-fve; Cumberland Presbyte-
rians, four; Episcopalians, three;
Presbyterians, three; Catholics,
two; Christian, eleven; Indepen-
dent, l; no membership, thirteen.
There are thirty-eight native Ark
ansians in the house, five Mississip-
plans, two Louisianians, two Ken
tuckians, four from Illinois, eleven
from Georgia, three from North
Carolina, twenty from Tennessee,
one from New York, two from Tex
as, four from Alabama, one from
Virginia, one from Florida, one
from Louisiana, one EngIishnau
and two Americans Next to Ark
ausas the sons Of Tennessee pre-
dominate, and then comes Georgia.
Strange to say, Mississippi has only
five representatives in the house.
The Methodists are, as usual, seve-
raj votes ahead, and next comes
the BaptIsts, with the Christian
church occupying third place.

Minstrels and Ethiopia present a
performance the like of which has
not been before. The company en-
braces the names of many of the
members of the vaudeville profess
ion who gained fame in Europe and
America. Barber and Robbins, ex-
pert bicyclists, Mohring Brothers,
the Korolos, are the special Euro
pean importations. Lou Sulley,
Eddie Fox, Bogart & O'Brien, Ollie
Young, several noted Arabian aero
bats, and yaulters, Will Walling,
Tommy CIarey, Doc Quigley, Henry
Carmody and Matt Diamond are
the names familiar to the lovers OF
minstrelsy. The oochy koochy dan

OPPOSED TO interference.
Congressman Draper Argues Against
the Recognition of the Inde-
Dendence of Cuba.

Washington, Dec. A.-An argument
against interference by the United States
with the government of Spain in Cuba,
pending the present season for military op-
erations, is made by General William F.
Draper of Massachusetts, who is one of
the subcommittee of the house charged
with the consideration of resolutions re-
latinR to Cuba. He said to-day: My
standpoint in regard to Cuba has not
changed since the last session OF congress
1t is my feeling that it is time to recog-
nlze independence when, IN the first place,
there is a government, and when, in the
second place. that government has shown
its right to be considered an independent
sovereignty 1t seems to me that there is
nothing in the island of Cuba in opposi-
ton TO the Spanish forces. except certain
armed bodies of men, each under its own
leader, and with nothing approaching
civil government. If We are to take the
message of President Cleveland as our au-
thority-and that is the only trustworthy
authority that 1 know Oft must be adj
rnitted there is not anywhere in Cuba, out
side the Spanish lines, civil government
which is seriously undertaking to exercise
its functions.
Il think the incoming administration
should have the privilege of deciding what
course 1t desires to take in regard to Its
foreign policy, and that the new president
should not be inaugurated with a war
upon his hands with an important foreign
power, caused by the action of the out
gcing congress"
DO you believe that Cuba will benefit
by becoming an independent government? ?"
was asked.
II do not" General Draper replied. ~
am not confident that the new government
would maintain civil order and the Sc
curity Of person and property under equal
laws for all citizens of the island and for
foreign visitors and residents any more ef-
fectively than the Spanish government. I
believe il were to take my wife and fam
lily to the island of Cuba they would be
safer under Spanish rule, bad as it is said
to be. than under such rule as would be
instituted if the insurgents should succeed
and their government should take pos
session of the island"

AFFECTS KANSAS CITY.
A Decision by the Supreme Court
Which Upholds the Five Year
Paving Contract Guarantee.

The decision handed down by the su-
preme court at jefferson City, to the effect
that the maintenance clause in street paw
ing contracts is legal, is especially a vital
one in Kansas City. The opinion was rem
dered in a suit brought by the Barber As
phalt Company against Benjamin Ullman,
a property owner of st. Joseph, to test the
five year maintenance clause in the street
paving contracts.
Mr.. Ullman refused to pay the special
tax bills against his property for paving
done by the Barber company on the ground
that the city charter provides that the
costs for repairs in the paving shall lie
paid out of the general revenue of the city
and consequently the guarantee clause was
conflicting and made an unlawful expense
on the property owners.
In the decision, Chief Justice Brace and
Judges Robinson Sherwood. Barclay and
MacFarlane concurred, while Judges CAN'T
and Burgess dissented. The part of the
opinion bearing most directly on the case
is as follows:
1.-The guarantee of the pavement for
five years as laid by the plaintiff involves
no extra charge against the adjoining
property, further than would be justly pay
able for a sound and durable pavement,
The term for keeping the agreed work in
repair. free of cost is not longer than the
reasonable period such work should last
if properly done at the outset 1t certainly
is proper for the city to require of the
contractor for such improvements a sound
and durable piece of finished work. The
agreement TO maintain the work free of
cost for five years is $50 far this record
shCws) nothing more than a guaranty that
the work shall be of that character.
The members of the Barber company ex-
press themselves as being entirely satisfied
with the decision, as it will compel all
paving contractors to guarantee their work
and stop the laying of inferior material.
One instance in which Kansas City tax
payers have suffered TO the extent of 81 500
in patching down inferior pavement which
the contractor refused to do is the Seven
teenth street paving. This pavement was
laid by the Mccormick company, whose
contract contained the five-year guarantee
clause. The work which in the first place
was decidedly inferior, was neglected and
soon became in sad need of repair
When ordered to make the necessary
repairs which had been agreed to in the
contract, the Mccormick Company refused
10 do anything and the city had to foot
the bill. David r. Mccormick of McCor-
mick Company, is now connected with the
PaIk Iker-WashinGton Paving Company
which some time ago obtained asphalt paw
ing contracts on Washington street. The
company has requested and been granted
several extensions on its contracts
