The passage Of the free coinage mea

referred TO the Finance Committee, and
after mature deliberation was reported
back TO the Senate without amendment.
He was in charge Of the bill from start

organization Of the silver forces in the
senate Republicans and Democrats
that final and victorious action was
reached about three o clock Saturday.
The Senator was awaiting the passage
of the bill preparatory TO his leaving for
Arkansas on the $3.50 train that after.

ments In Sebastian County. In the
final outcome Of the canvass we have
not a particle Of doubt an honest ex
preston of Sebastian will be for the
70 election Of Arkansas accomplished

memorable in the history of the world.

nations is carried out. In the United
States there will be the liyeliest presi-
Dental campaign ever held, and the
Fifty fourth Congress, now in session.

debates ON the tariff and financial ques

exciting state elections and many great
political speeches. Everyone will watch
with interest the progress of the Vene-
zueian Commission inquiry, the
results of the wars in Cuba, in South
africa, In Turkey, and the outcome Of
other complications now arising in the
Old World.
1t Is a remarkable coincidence that at
the beginning of a year of such rich
promise of stirring news the greatest
metropolitan newspaper in the United
otates-The st. Louis Republic-should
reduce its price to 80. 90 a year, or to
less than two cents a day. This low
price now places The Republic within
the reach OF everyone. Those who wish
TO keep posted ON politics, trade,
national and international affairs during
1895 should at once subscribe for it ON
.hese easy terms, in addition to taking
their own local paper.

lhey cannot afford to take metropolitan

Governor Clarke has announced his
intention of entering the race for the
Senatorship. The Dispatch has seen no
humor in the disrespect shown for the
Governor of late. He is man Of whose
friendship anyone might be proud, and
he has clean hatred and contempt for
many of the miserable traits which
characterize some of his enemies. But
so simple matter as an ungovernable
temper renders him unfit for Office.
His best friends should be most jealous
in trying to dissuade him from his

What Is to be Gained.

From the Batesville Guard.
What is to be gained by retiring
Senator Jones and sending Gov. Clarke
to the Senate in his placel In what
respect are the people to be benefited,
or what public interest is to be promoted
thereby If Gov. Clarke had all of
Senator Jones ability, which very
many will not concede; if he had his
experience and general acquaintance,
which gives a man influence and stand
ing in Congress and in which Gov.
Clarke is entirely wanting; if the
governor could give ample and com
plete assurance of both his desire and
ability to control that somewhat
remarkable temper Of his-still what
would be gained in exchanging Jones
for Clarke7 Nothing since the governor
announces in his recently published
address that he favors those issues and
principles Of which Senator Jones Is
much the better known advocate.
The people will make up their own
minds as to which Of the two candidates
Is the abler man. 1t is enough to say
here on that subject that it is generally
conceded everywhere, inside and out
side the State, that Arkansas has never
had an ADLER, more influential or more
useful member OF either house of
Congress than Senator Jones. If we
knew that Gov. Clarke would most
certainly reach the same high standard
still why should the change be madef
In what respect would the State or any
public interest be benefited thereby
But when we have, and can have, no
such assurance; when, on the other
hand, we have good reason to believe
Gov. Clarke would not reach that high
standard, every interest of the state and
her people protests against the change
But, if Gov. Clarke had all Of Senator
Jones ability, he has none of his
experience in Congress, from which
comes influence and standing, and in
making the exchange the State would
lose benefits and advantages which she
now enjoys on that account. The use
fulness Of the ablest man in Congress is
largely measured by his legislative
experience and his personal standing
among his fellow members, and this
only time and long service there can
bring him. The strongest and most
influential men in the Senate are those
who have been there longest.

The city council, at its regular session
Monday, proceeded to cut down the
city s expenses somewhat. The salaries
of both night watchmen were reduced
from $50 to $50 per month and the

with. This makes a saving to the city
