Railroad Commission.

A railroad commission with
such men as Judge Sterling r..
Cockrell, ex Governor James P.
Clarke, Gen. Dan Reynolds,
Judge U. M. Rose or John NJ
Moore, as commissioners, would
be an institution against which
no decent railroad would raise
objections. These are men OF
character and probity and are
sufficiently intelligent and honest
to inform themselves of the con-
ditions which affect the operating
of railroad lines in this state and
to correct abuses without OPP
pressing either the roads or the
people. Contrast these men with
Jasper Newton Smithee, Charley
Collins, Salary-grabber Mills and
the gang of political camp-fol-
lowers and adveurers Of which
they are fair types, and you will
understand how impossible it is
for self-respecting Legislators to
enact a law which will place the
railroads at the mercy Of the lat
ter. There is no more in the
character Of the commissioners
than in the terms Of the law or
the size of the salaries.-lIelena

loons) to be set up in Batesville
and in 80 minutes we understand
after said license were granted,
one of the ''pukerites" was in
full blast dishing out the "firey
stuff" Can't suppress the blind
tiger and between the two evils
the people prefer open Saloons
say some of our representatives.
ooh, shame where is thy blush?"
Just as we'll say that the midnight
assassin cannot be suppressed,
and "between the two evils" the
murderer who boldly steps out in
daylight and plunges his dagger
into the heart broken destitute
and children, widows and orphans
rich and poor, high and low, and
license the murderer to pursue
his hellish work, as to say "the
blind tiger" cannot be suppress
ed, and for that reason the peo-
pie prefer the open saloon and
the revenue it pays in" Had
our Representatives amended the
"blind tiger" act, making the
penalty five years in the "pen'
for each drink Of the "pisin" dis
posed of, and passed an act re-
curing strictly sober jurors, God
bless you fellow citizens, the
sinking "tiger skunks' would
soon become as scarce as Million

cuse for repeating any whisky

In a few days we will have foul
maybe six, drunkard-fa factories
schools of crime, murder mills,

Presbyterian Church throughout
the state that she need not now
fear to send her boys to Arkan-
sas College; that the one special
act gotten up by the sainted
Long, that undemocratic meas
ure, which, like spectre of dark
ness, has frightened away the
angels of our prosperity and hurt
our college, has now been re-
pealed. The boys can now get
without let or hinderance all the
red liquor necessary to the best
educational results. Along with
the saloons will come the toughs
and thugs, the gamblers and
courtesans to exert their whole
some influence on the boys of the
college.
Poke-easy Bateville has at
last joined in the procession OF
progress. When the editor of the
Batesville Guard returns from
Washington he will find to his de-
light, that Batesville has struck a
trot to catch up with New
port.
Will our Solons at Little Rock,
editorial and legislative, tell us
which is the more Democratic,
the special act which protected
our homes and affairs or the sa-
looms which desolate and desc
crate them? We had the one and
have the other. Will they
tell us whether it is legislative
wisdom to throw about our towns
cities, churches and institutions
of learning all possible safe
guards or subject them to the
ravages of the most greedy YAM
pires that ever sucked the blood
of men?
Will our lawmakers tell us
whether it is best to unsettle or
to strengthen the foundations up
on which rest the order, the Sc
curity and prosperity of the peo-
pie?
Now that the legislature has
thrown down many of our local
Safeguards and will no doubt de-
molish all them when opportuni-
ty offers, it is of supreme moment
that Arkansas be SUBSIDIZED again
with the plowshare of the gospel
and the seed thoughts of prohi-
ton be sown broad cast over the
state. We must not only recover
our lost ground, but sweep from
our commonwealth this curse Of
