The State of Arkansas now has within its possession a large number of acres of land upon which the citi- zens refuse to pay taxes. Much of this land has been on record at the State land office for years, has been offered for sale for a long time at 50 cents per acre, and yet no one has purchased it. It has been subject to redemption and no one will re. deem it, And been subject to do- nation, yet no one cares to donate it. Owing to these facts it is yield ing no revenue to the State, county or school. II what is known as the Smith bill should be passed by the present session of our Legislature and become a law, and the Spring field, Little Rock and Gulf railway company should build their proposed read, large quantity of this lard would come into their possession and thus become taxable. It would then prove a source of revenue to the State and also increase our school fund largely. We have al ways opposed donating our lands to railroads, but when the benefits to accrue to the State are so great as they appear 10 be in this instance, we can say that we heartily endorse such donations. Let the interest of the State be properly guarded and rush the bill through-England Ccnaer

AS Senator Stewart. the patriarchal sill

passing through one Of the small parks
of Washington he met a lady who is en-
gagged in performing heroic work for the
Independence of Cuba, says an exchange.
In the course of a brief conversation the
lady asked the senator f he did not think
President Mckinley would soon do some
thing toward terminating the rebellion.
Receiving a negative reply, she expressed
considerable surprise and said:
why, it looks to me as if this admins
tration should take some action! Every
body has expected great things from Mr..
Mckinley in the direction of freeing Gu
ba. You do not mean 10 tell me that he
has lost ali interest in the matter?'
No" said the senator, 'it is not that.
But, mortifying as the confession is, the
truth must betold. AS a matter Of plain
fact Mr.. Mckinley has but very little in
auence with the present administration,
and hence there is no likelihood of any
thing definite and beneficial being done
