That TWo-Cent Fare Bill.

The bill fixing railway passenger
rates at 2 cents per mile should be
promptly defeated in the senate, and
we have no doubt that it will get what
IL deserves In that body. There is no
demand for Q cent fare In Arkansas.
The enforcement of such measure
would virtually kill every railroad In
the state except the Iron Mountain
Cotton Belt and Frisco. The poor
people are not clamoring for any such
reduction, because as a matter Of fact
those who travel most are able TO pay
3 cents per mile. 1t would be foolish
indeed for Arkansas 10 put such law
on her statute books. II was foolish
for the house 10 pass such bill, and
we trust ii will not again be charged
with such radical action. Little Rocl
Democrat.
Since reading the report Of the Iowa
railroad commission stating that roadi
in that which, by the way, Is
more thickly populated than Arkansas
could not be operated on that basis ant
pay expenses, we are inclined TO thinl
that II would be well TO first thoroughly
investigate the conditions in this stat
before passing such bill. We do moi
want 10 kill or cripple the roads, nor Dc
we want to force them 10 reduce wages
Better pass railroad commission bill
and then let the commissioners In
yestigate whether or not It would b,
just 10 enforce 2-cent mile law.

Freedmen's Payment.
I'M the Fort Smith Times Democrat

Prom the Fort Smith Times-Democrst
The long looked for Freedmen pay
ment will begin next Tuesday. That,
at least, is the news conveyed in a
telegram from Washington received
Tuesday by F. II. Nash, one of the
leading merchants of Fort Gibson.
Mr.. Nash has a great interest in the
payment, as the Freedmen owe him
large sums of money. He has an agent
in Washington 10 advise him Of the
progress Of affairs, and the telegram
above referred TO is from his agent.
This information Is corroborative of
the information received by Mr.. Nash
in letter from W. W. Hastings, one
Of the delegates which the Cherokee
Nation sent TO Washington. He said
the payment would be made the latter
part Of this week N the first of next.
The amount TO be paid out to the
Freedmen il over million dollars, but
only the part of the proceeds Of the
Strip sale, which was held back by the
United States government, will be paid
at this time. The Cherokee Nation will
pay the Freedmen 1856, 600, but the
officers have not the rolls ready, and
that payment will be made later.
There will be 4, $50 beneficiaries Of
this payment That is the number Of
Freedmen whose claims Of citizenship
were approved by the commission.
The payment will be made at Hayder
on Lightning Creek, and at Fort
Gibson. The Hayden payment will b'
made first
The people of Hayden have made
great preparations for the payment, ano
have erected building so by 100 fee
for the use Of the paymaster. Thii

eayss
We do not know what the express
rases are In other parts u the state,
bat ge doubt not they are graded On
the sarae basis all over the state. The
business men Of Fort Smith have no
complaint 10 make against the express
companies. nor against the railroads.
70 De sure there are times when a
charge appears 70 be too much, but 1t L.
20 unusual thing for that ~ occur with
our grocer or our dry goods merchant
The express COMPANIES have virtually
made the p9tato and berry business Of
western Arkansas.
Without the force. or even the threat
u Liquidation. the express companies
met the conditions and put the business
through. moi only al a rate which made
the berry business possible, but profit
able. The potato business was the
child Of the railroads instead Of the
express companies. and did for that just
what the express companies did for the
berry business. And they did what
they did upon application 10 them by
business men Ia a business like way,
showing what could be done upon such
q rate az they asked
Tie people u Arkansas are not
suffering from railways or express
companies. and If ~ q vain and foolish
policy 10 try 10 make good times by
cutting down rates.
He says the express companies have
made the fruit and berry business
possible. " II he had said i'm
possible he would have come much
nearer the mark. The rates on these
products eat up All the profits that
should 90 10 the grower. But then 10
hear Bro. "Rainey' talk, this business
IL run simply for the accommodation Of
shippers.
Oh, no they don't need regulating.
But how does Bro. Williams account
for IL thatto mention n case which
recently came under our observation.
a package which cost 80 cents express
age from New York to Van Buren,
1900 miles-cOst As cents from Van
Buren, 10 Little Rock-lJg milesi
We are not In favor Of the state acting
unreasonably against these corpor
ations, but that they need regulating no
sane person can deny.
Our people generally, and onr berry
growers, particularly, want 10 see the
express business regulated, and they
will watch the action Of our Legislators
on that subject closely.
The grocer and dry goods racket
he attempts 10 ring In has no application
10 this matter. You are not compelled
10 deal with n merchant who over
charges you. but you have no option
when II comes TO railroad or express
companies. II allowed 10 have theii

that Is possible without killing th'
business, and say "d-n the people
