Considerable colonies were some years
ago induced to come to Arkansas under

THERE are a good many Republicans
in Arkansas that would rather not vote
than TO pay poll tax, but the man who
Is unwilling to contribute one dollar in
this way TO the support Of the public
schools Of the State does not possess a
very high order patriotism. The great
majority Of the Democrats would cheer
fully pay this tax even if it were not a
voting qualification. The vote Of the
man who would shirk his poll tax is not
worth much to his country .-Ex.

adjourn without making any extra
appropriation for the compensation for
the fourth class postmasters, but the
question raised by Messrs. McRae
Terry and NELL, Of Arkansas, will
present itself to the next Congress. and
The next if necessary till justice is done.
In many cases country postmasters are
required to furnish Office room and give
their attention to the affairs Of the Office
all for less than $50 year. It is easy
to see that these officials are poorly
paid for the services they render.

A Wasted Session.
From the Ct Louis Republic.

From the 81 Louis Republic.
The country at large rejoices that the
present session Of Congress has deter
mined on an early adjournment. In the
debate which took place in the House
Of Representative last week, Mr.
DOckery declared that the policy Of the
Republican majority had been one Of
delay and those who have taken even
casual notice Of what it has accom-
plished will cordially indorse his
opinion
The session has been one Of pernicious
inactivity in deeds and pernicious
activity in words. The Republicans in
the Senate and In the House have con
sumed public time from day TO day in
demonstrating their love Of the
oppressed in Cuba and ia other parts Of
the world. They have wasted weeks in
the passing Of sympathetic resolutions,
not because they believed that they
were afording any relief 10 the strug-
CLING Cubans, bat because they hoped
20 pat the present administration in an
embarrassing position. They have
pursued the policy always adopted by
every party which wishes TO distract
the attention Of the people from domestic
affairs by directing it to those Of other
nations.
On entering the present session the
majority in the House was loud in
declaring that the revenues were in
adequate TO meet the increasing
expenditures. But they have not
attempted TO put their convictions into
legislation which they had the power to
pass. They complained of the present
currency system, and on this, as on the
question Of revenues, their attitude has
been one Of watching and waiting.
At the opening of the session Mr..
Reed announced himself as being
opposed to hasty and crude legislation.
This was another way OF intimating that
he was opposed to all legislation at a
period which he considered rather
critical Cowardice and buncombe
have marked the conduct Of the Repub-
lican majority from the beginning. and
the sooner the session adjourns the
better for the country.
