A MEETING of the County Central Committee of Sebastian County has been called for Saturday, January Is, whereupon the Fort Smith Democrat truly remarks that "this seems to be rather early action, but an early meeting of the committee does not necessarily imply early primaries. 1t strikes us that primaries should be set in point of time for the con- yenienee of the voting classes, rather than for the interests of candidates. We believe the summer is preferable to the winter in which to hold pri- mary elections. And the Democrat is right. The people of Arkansas do not want early primaries or a long campaign this year. Early primaries are useless and always the Cause of a long campaign which is demoraliZing to business and the people and work great hardships on aspirants to office. Early pri- maries are usually resorted to to ''boost" the prospects of some can didate for office who imagines that in them he can gain some temporary advantage. It is entirely too early to talk politics and the shorter the campaign this year, State and Ma tiOnal the better.

SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION OF EDUCATION HELD AN INTERESTING
 SESSION IN HOT SPRINGS.
Many of the Foremost Educatorslof the southern States Were in Attend
 aDce-oficers Elected

The fifth annual meeting of the Southern Educational Association, held in the city of Hot Springs last week, is pronounced by all the most successful session in it's history. The attendance was unusually large and included many of the foremost edu- eatoro of the Southern States. Among the speakers who came from other sections were Supt. N. c. Dougherty, Presidentof the National Educational Association, the largest educational organization in the world, and Hon. Wm. T. Harris, Commissioner of Education for the United States and the educational philosopher of his age. Dr. Harris spoke twice in the general sessions and once at the departmental meet ing. His intimate acquaintance with the character and needs of our public schools, having served many years as Superintendentof the public schools of the city of St. Louis, made his advice and suggestions of great value to the large number of super intendents and teachers who heard him. President Preston, State Superintendent of the Mississippi  schools, was lauded on every side for the excellent program which had been prepared, and the splendid se- lection of speakers for the occasion.
 It is safe to say that the enter tainment has never been surpassed. The local committee under the en- thusiastic and untiring leadership of Superintendent George B. Cook had made every possible preparation for the comfort and delight of the visi- tors. At the conclusion of the meet ing the following officers were cleo ted for the ensuing year: Dr. J. H. Phillips, Superintendent Bir-  mingh am schools, President; State Superintendent J. M. Carlisle, of Texas, Vice-President; Superintend- ent George B. Cook, of Hot Springs, Secretary; Hon. A. L. Peterman, of Kentucky, Treasurer.
 The selection of the next place of meeting, at the suggestion of Super intendent Jordan, was referred to the executive committee. Nashville, Tenn, Birmingham, and Jackson vile, were nominated, and the pref erence of the Association, so far as could be ascertained, seemed to be in favor of Jacksonville.

Brutal Franklin Mcdonnell Ssnt to
the Penftenffary.

Franklin Mcdonnell, who lives with his
mother at Ne. POS Park avenue, Hoboken.
late last night came home intoxicated
and began to break the furniture and de-
molish everything he laid his hands on.
His mother called IN Officer Detten. who
took the man to Police Headquarters.
This morning his mother told Recorder
MeDonough that she wanted her son sent
away, as he was an habitual drunkard
and had not contributed one cent to her
support in four years. After making her
complaint the old woman went home TO
get some clothing and things her son
would need while in jail. When the Son
was brought before the Recorder he said
that what his mother had said was an
unmitigated lie. The Recorder said he
had no respect for a man who would call
his mother a liar, nevertheless he would
give Mcdonnell a chance 20 tell his story
when his mother came back.
When the mother returned she faced
her son and repeated her story with
tears in her eyes. When she finished the
Recorder said to MCDONNELL
You are nothing but a drunken loafer.
and no one but a loafer would try to
make a liar of his mother. and, there

Penitentiary.
Before he was led back his mother
handed him a package and said, "You

George du Maurier's death has caused a gap
which America can hardly realize. In the
States he is nourned as a writer; here as an
artist. 1t is almost impossible to conceive
of Punch without Du Maurier; for Punch
is everything to England, and Du Maurier was
everything to Punch. His strong, effective
drawings showed no sign of falling incisiye-
ness or hunor up to the very end. He was the

cannot pass down Regent street without see

Maurier. A drawing room was his studio and
ordinary men and women hth models; he had
only to glance across the table to find his
situations. Personally ! knew him as a clever
talker, full of anecdotes. and with a rare
skill in narration, as unspoiled by his later
and phenomenal success as he was undeterred
by his early struggles. He was popular amonv
men Of all professions, and whenever he en-

DEFENDING THE BISHOP.
Bishop Wisger's Address Was ccIesi-
a~sticaIiy Right.

The address of Bishop Wigger in this
city a short time ago has caused consid-
cradle excitement in circles of both sects.
A priest prominent in church circles of
this city said yesterday in speaking of
the newspaper criticisms which Bishop
Wigger received
There has been a great deal of talk oc-
casioned by the address of Bishop Wig
ger, and the criticism of his address was
entirely wrong. The Journal aid that
Bishop Wigger is a s-ensationalist; well,
so ne is, and that's what we all are, sem
sationalists. AS far as his not being an
American is concerned, that is a mean
way to attack a good man. The Journal
! suppose. got it as near right as it gem
orally does.
Now, for what the Bishop really did
say. He condemned secret societies on
account of the oath. because in that oath
a. man swears obedience to one he does
nothing about. The Catholic Church for
bids the taking of an oath ever in the
religious orders. When an oath is taken,
it is that only things which are lawful
schools he advised Catholic parents to
send their children to the Catholic schools
because that is the will of the church..
Cardinal Satolli forbid Bishops and priests
to deny the sacrament to parents who
send their children to the Public Schools.
but 1t is the will of the church at the
same time that Catholic children
shall receive a Catholic educa-
ton Then in speaking of a civil mar
riage between Catholics he said that any
Catholic married by a squire or a Pro-
testant minister commit a sin punish
able by accommodation.
Here the papers took the Bishop UP
wrong; he was speaking to Catholics and
of Catholics, and this law does not, of
course, pertain to Protestants. The rea-
son of the law is that with Catholics mar
rage IS a sacrament, and a sacrament
can only be administered by a priest;
therefore. it is sinful for a Catholic to re-
eeive the sacrament from a ~laynan."

P0WEBLESS TO COMBAT SIN.
Education and Culture Have Bux
IN Multiplied Mans Devices for EVIL.

Men seek to make excuse for SIM"
writes Dwight T.. Moody in the initial dis
course to Mr.. Moodyss Bible Class IN
the November Ladies' Home Journal"
They cali it by other names and try to
explain away its power or cover up it's
hideousness. They tell us that it is merely
ignorance, which culture VIII eradicate.
that in each and every man there is coed,
and that with culture and education this
will be developed. = : Antiquity has
proved that education and culture are
powerless to combat natural sin, They
seem to have but multiplied the ingenui-
ties, and devices of mans evil passions.
The corrupt and degenerate days of eui-
tared Rome. even during her proud Gold
en- Age of wealth. of literature, OF beauty
and philosophy. have left to us monu-
ments of her obscenity and vice. The
wisdom Of Greece and the learning Of
Egypt never saved their subjects from
the corruption of sin. The Epistles of
Saint Paul 10 the churches of Asia Minor
are a sufficient commentary upon the eff
cacy OF their boastea refinement in the
development of noble and pure lives. Nor
have we to go into ancient history for q
vindicatien of the awful truth OF d fallen
nature. Do our own times offer no Illus
tration of Inherent sin2 Does not the
presence of sin, often the most vile and
dark in its offices. reveal itself in lives
which from earliest infancy have been
surrounded by cnly tina which wac pure
and good? Are our convicts made solely
from those who haye not had advan-
tages?
