general waiting hall. All classes Of I'M
employed, from the schoolteacher to the

Common Honesty.

In the west there are six states with
senatorial contests on hand "A paper
has been sent to the United States sem
ate by the presid electors Of Della
ware setting fortl, that through fraudu-
lent and illegal action in the count Of
votes in one county in that state an ac-
tual majority for one political party had
been changed to q majority for ) OPP
posing party. This was done to elect
certain men to the legislature in order
that they might vote a certain desired
way for senator. Therefore the presi-
Dental electors brought the matter to
the consideration Of the United States
senate.
Now, in every one of these senatorial
contested election cases the way is plain.
Either one candidate or his opponent
was certainly elected to the legislature
II is not hard to ascertain which one it
was. Those who count the votes GER
itainly know which it was. There is one
clear, straight, infallible way out Of the
tangles in every case. Let those who
know, who cannot help knowing exactly
. how the count stands, simply certify to
the truth That is all they need do.
. It is time we We're returning to the
simple, straight path Of common honesty
in this country, in elections and every
thing else. An infusion of just plain,
common honesty into vote counting and
all the processes of politics will solve
every difficulty, straighten out the tan
gled threads of every contested election
case and make darkness as clear as noon
day. What is more, everybody concerned
will be even better off financially than
he is now. Every dark and muddy and
crooked way in politics has been tried in
this country and failed. It has failed
even where it at first seemed to succeed.
Now let electors and candidates 90 back
on their tracks and settle square down
on the platform Of plain, common hon
esty, which is also the eternal and illus
Strious platform Of common sense.

ID About IS, 500 immigrants come to the
Dominion Of Canada annually. OF these,
however, an averageof $500 skip across
the border to the United States each
year. They simply take advantage Of
the rates and inducements offered by
the Canadian authorities to get a cheap
way Of coming to the United States. In
addition to these Immigrants, the French
Canadians are fairly tu1nbling over one
another to get out Of the Dominion and
into the United States Thousands come
every year. All this is curious, but it
will never be any different till Canada
becomes a part Of the American Union.

Danger to the Republic.

There are wise persons who think
they see peril stc istence Of our re-
public. The CO. The Outlook is
one of these. He IS:
Two dangers threaten the republic-moboc-
racy, and plutocracy; the ungoverned passions
Of the many and the cool, calculating, organ
lied greed of the few. The first is hirsute.
loud voiced, barharic, appalling; the second is
genteel, we'll clad, silent, specious. Those who
fear the first will wish to add to the safe
guards and strength of vested rights and to
lessen the power of the people; those who fear
the second will wish to increase the safeguards
and enhance the strength of the people and to
lessen the power Of wealth. We fear the second
peril. .s5 .sa5F.
& For mobs, though appalling are generally
local and always temporary-mere episodes in
our national life. They are generally unorgan-
lied and always ill directed; are as abhorrent
to public sentiment as they are hostile to pub
lie interest; are invariably disavowed by the
very men who have evoked them, and are cas-
lily and promptly quelled. 1t has never been
the police were efficient. But the greed 81
concentrated wealth is chronic, and its work
is continuous. 1t is never satisfied and never
vanquished. 1t buys votes at the polls, fran
chises Of city councilmen, special privileges Of
legislators. The "boss'' is its hired servant
and through the "boss'' it controls lawmakers
and governors. It escapes just taxation anC

been officially proved to- have purchased
Judges in a few rare instances; it is believed
by common fame to have secured the appoint

abroad in 1895 $500, 900 worth Of oys-

At every station villages are springing up and at several points the merry hum of extensive saw mills is heard and huge piles of pine lumber, sawed from the for ests near, await the purchaser and transportation to the markets. When we consider that all these changes and evidences of indus trial growth have been made dur ing the last six months, or since the building of the railroad to Mcna last August, it needs no eye gifted with special prophetic wis ion to discern that during the next ten years and less transformation scenes will have been wrought that will be very pleasing to the observer. Where forests have stood for ages, farms and gardens in the valleys and orchards on the hillsides and table lands will have been made and planted and nest ling among beautiful trees the white homes of thrifty farmers and fruit growers and of well-to-do villagers, with school houses and churches conveniently located, will greet the vision, and lands now selling at $3 to S10 an acre will be worth from $20 to $40 an acre. Now is the time to come to Mena, procure cheap home and get the advantage of the raise in the value of property.

Luck Has Never Helped Any Person.

In replying to the query, "Does not luck sometimes play goodly part in mans success?" Edward W. Box. in the January Ladies Home Journal, writes:
 Never Henry Ward Beecher ans wered this question once for all when he said: No man prospers in this world by luck, unless it be the luck of getting up early, working hard, and maintaining honor and integrity. What so often seems, to many young men, on the surface, as being luck in a mans career, is nothing more than hard work done at some special time. The idea that luck is a factor Tn a mans success has ruined thousands: 1t has never helped a single person. A fortunate chance comes to a young man sometimes just at the right mo ment. And that some people call luck. But that chance was given him be- cause he had at some time demonstrat- ed the fact that he was the right man for the chance. That is the only tuck there is, Work hard, demonstrate your ability. and show to others that If an opportunity comes within your grasp you are able to use it."

WORK ON THE RoUNDHOUsE.
Brick Layers Commence Their Work
 Monday.

Yesterday morning Star represen- tative stepped down to see how things were progressing at the round house. We were met by Mir. J. $. Broughton, foreman of the building department of the M. k. lS T. Trust company, who very courteously showed us over the partly constructed building and ans wered all the ''whys' and wherefore" that a curious observer could think of.
 Besides the force of carpenters who are busily engaged in putting up the heavy frame work of the building, q much larger force of brick layers and ''tenders" were at work on the walls. The bricklaying gang came in from Kansas City Sunday, and commenced work Monday morning. The brick walls will be eighteen inches thick, laid in cement and lime morter of equal parts, making it unusually strong and durable. The water sys- tenn for the roundhouse is very con- NShAChtA| diAdiSSds Nl1A % hyuA"De and hose in each of the six engine stalls and one out near a siding, to be used in washing coaches. The water supply comes from theA large reservoir lately built by the railroad company and has very strong pressure. The sewerage system also deserves men, ton. The main is of 12 inch tiling and is so arranged that it will receive all the surplus water from the round house, as well as drain the entire tract of ground occupied by the roundhouse and machine shops. MT. Broughton informed us that if the weather con- tinued nice so the work would not be interfered with. that within thirty days they would be standing engines in the roundhouse.

Services In New Church.

The new South Methodist church is rapidly nearing completion and it is expectad, but not definitely decided, that services will be held in 1t next Sabbath morning. The structure is a credit to that organlzation and they can well be proud of their new house of worship.

Since the advent of the Kansas City, Pittburg & Gulf railroad into Western Arkansas there are being many changes wrought which tend to show what great benefits will accrue to this section of country in the future from its building. All along the line north from Mena to the state line where the road enters the Indian Territory tracts of land arc being cleared for cultivation and cabins being built by those who are pre- pairing to- make homes and farms where nonc have ever been before.

Cleveland's name will go down in history as the only president of the United States who had no sympathy for people struggling for freedom and trying to estab- fish a republic. The course he persucd toward Hawaii as we'll as toward Cuba shows clearly that he is the friend of monarchles.
