 World of Artists.
 Before her marriage she had been a famous sculptures. She had made sev- eraI portrait statues of we'll known men, and every one predicted for her q still more brilliant future, when she suddenly set all predictions at naught by marrying wealthy man who dis approved of her keeping up her profes- sienal work She was very quiet under this restriction, but was supposed to rebel inwardly. Therefore when at q dinner party one evening she asked her old friend General Bashar to come to see her on the following evening and inspect her last piece of work, which she thought the best and most lifelike she had ever executed, he supposed he was expected to use his influence to pre- vail upon her husband to permit her to resume her place among the working fraternity of artists.
 II am sure you will like it, general, y she said, with winning smile. It fairly lives and breathes. I confess am in love with it myself. ''

WREN asked in the House of Com mons the other day why the British Government had bought 7,709 tons of rails for the East Indian Rail- road of an American firm, Lord George Hamilton explained that the American bid was something over $43, GOO less than the lowest British bid. This transaction shows that we can furnish steel rails in the open market at 5 a ton cheaper than the Baitish manufacturers can furnish them, Eyet the Dingley bill provides $7.84 ton protection for American rails, which tax the man ufacturers will collect when our own railroads are compelled to buy new rail to replace the old ones. In other words foreigners can buy American rails at . much lower price than our home people can get, and this is merely one Of the many iajastices Of the protective tariff system which justities the charge that if is lagalized robbery.-N.

The new editor of the Paragould Press.D Democrat, fresh from Via ginia, condemns the normal school system as being wrong in princi- pie and unjust in practice and that it is Northern institution import ed into Arkansas to teach our peo- pie the beauties of centralized gov ernment.n Tn the latter remark the editor lets out the true reason of his opposition, purely that Of sec tional prejudice.
 Such prejudice may be q sufficient reason for refusing to accept pro- gressiye idea in Virginia where they dote heavily on r. F. V's and the apostolic succession therefrom, but in Arkansas as much as We re- we're the memory of Washington and Jefferson and other great Virgini- ans we have quit voting for them for president. With us a mans man for all that, etc, and we are will ing to accept and adopt a good thing, let it come from the north, east, south or west, and would not draw the line on a good thing even if it came from Fiji.
 If the editor has any logical reason for opposing these schools he may find constituency in Arkansas but certainly will not on peurile preiu- dices.
 If the editor thinks the normal wrong in principle and unjust in practice he thinks the same of the entire public school system.
 He is opposed to our constitu- tional declaration for universal ed ucation, because the normal is an essential feature of the free school system. The constitution makers of Arkansas say that intelligence and virtue being the safe guards of liberty and free people the legisla- ture shall provide Q system of schools supported by taxation of which every child in the State shall have the advantages. Having pro vided the free school system pro- gressive and enlightened public sen timent has said to the Legislature whatever is attempted should be done right. And as we pay more taxes for schools than for all other purposes combined and further that the education of our children is the most i'm portant purpose of our life we demand that you provide normal schools to equip better force of teachers who mould the destiny of our children and consume the major portion of the taxes we pay. Nor mals mean better teachers and the better the teachers the better the schools, and so the money spent for normals goes direct to the children.

for the white people near the reserya-

ing several shots inside the house. Mrs.
Winter, children and hired man, who
were in the house, fed by the rear
way and escaped without injury. IL
will be remembered that Matt Winter
was one OF the deputy sheriffs who
accompanied Sheriff Gibbs TO help ar
rest Little Whirlwind not long ago,
and il was the general opinion at that
time that Matt Winter would die soon

authorities have again asked Senator

relief from these red savages cannot
be obtained. County Attorney Porter

all that can be learned. however, there
has been n general recession from the
partial agreement made on the more
important articles until sugar, wool.

Sugar is still the principal contention.
The senate eonferees are disposed to
resent the efforts of Speaker Reed TO
influence the action of the conferees.

the speakers participation in the pro-
