We go to New Zealand for new
social experiments in government
The New Zealand House of repre-
sentative has passed a vote grant
ing pension of $l.15 a week to
every poor person in the colony
over sixty-five years old whose in
come is less than 1925 a week.
The bill has not yet become a law,
and If it should be enacted it will
take many years to find out how il
works. Ii will work harder at first
than it will later, when provisi IN
shall have been made for the pen
sions. There is great deal of feel
ing in England as well as on the
continent that provision should be
made for industrial old age. This
means a pension; and it is worth
considering whether a pension for
those who have served in civil and
Industrisl life Is not as proper as
one for those who have served in
the army. Certainly pension to
the aged poor il less offensive than
support in the poorhouse. 1t would
be provided for by system univer-
sal compulsory insurance. Ten or
twelve cents a week through lite
would make such a provision for
Did age. This, to be sure Is
another step toward socialism, but
further steps towards socialism can
fairly be taken; and if they are not
called for yet in this country they
evidently are called for in some Of
the more thickly settled communi-
ties OF Europe. One is only sur
prised that young country like
New Zealand has occasion for such
a policy; but New Zealand il all
the time trying new experiments.
The world thus finds good use for
New Zealand. Y. independent.

THE STANDING ARMx.
Miles for 75,ooo Men, but AIger
 and Mckinley for 100000.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Novem- Der 26.-Secretary Alger and Gen. Miles disagree in their recommendations for the in. crease of the army. The posi-. tion of the general for some years has been that the Amer ican army should consist of 1000 men for each 100000 of population, and he would have the army grow at that rate. Ills recommendation at this time is that the army shall be increased to 75,000 men.
 Secretary Alger's report will be made public next week. It will contain a strong argument for a standing army of 100000.
 The President will adopt the recommendation of the secre- tary and incorporate it in his message.

SAYS THEY'VE COMBINED.
That's Why North Arkansas Has
 No Railroad.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. p. |. Yesterdays issue of The Ga
 zette contained the following
 letter from ex-Governor Fish
 back regarding railroad con- struction in Arkansas.-
 To the Editor of the Gazette:-
 1 see in Colonel DeMalher's letter, published in Sundays issue of The Gazette, that some capitalist of New York has asked the colonel why the nor thern part of Arkansas. so rich Tn resources, has not been de- veloped by railroads. Permit me to supplement the colonels reply to this very natural ques- tion. A short time since a prominent railroad official of a rival road said privately to a friend in this city: "If the Mckay road from Fort Smith to St. Louis is ever built I would rather own it than any other railroad in the world, for it will have more that a rail- road wants than any other It is very natural question, then, why it is that both Fort Smith and Little Rock have two lines of road connecting them with St. Louis and nei- ther one penetrates this mar velously rich territory
 "The answer is that both the Frisco and the Iron Mountain railroads were built originally from ;llegitimate motives. Con gress had granted an enormous land grant to the Cairo < Full ton railroad all the way to Full ton and to Fort Smith, and the old Iron Mountain railroad bought their charter and built the road merely to get this land grant, and confined their line to the lowlands of eastern Arkansas and east of the rich deposits of the northern part of the state.
 "The Frisco bought the At lantic X Pacific railroad to se- cure their large land grant, and only when they had built to Ninita and discovered that they were traversing an almost country did they turn at Peirce City and come down 10 Fort Smith. This brought the road to the west and northwest of those rich de- poslts.
 After these two roads dis covered their mistake they in a contract that nei- ther should build in this terri tory for 10 years.

" REFERENDUM CARRIED.
South Dakota is the First State to
 Adopt It.

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Nov. 2S. The state of South Dakota is the first in the union to adopt the referendum. The adopt ion of this proposition at the recent election came in the na- ture of a surprise. The returns show that not more than 50 per cent of the voters cast their ballots on the amendent. The majolitiss for the Republican candidate, with the exception of Governor, ranged between 5000 and 5000, and, as the sentiment of the party was to a great extent opposed 10 the in itiative and referendum, 1t was expected it would not carry.
 The Populists endorsed 1t in their platform and advocated | it from the stump before the
The Springdale news., 1898-12-02

Omaha platform was drafted, wherein the national party made the referendum one of its issues. The resolutions con- mittee of the Republican state convention suggested the care. full study of the plan by Re- publicans with view of secur- ing intelligent action thereon.
 As result of the adoption of the referendum at the recent election an especially interest. ing condition of affairs exists at the present tune. Lee, the fusion candidate for governor, has been elected, while the Re- publicans have secured the necessary two thirds majority Tn oOtn branches Of the leglSla- ture to carry a measure over the governors veto. Under the provisions of the initiative and referendum, if any law is pass. ed ny the legislature objection able to the people, a petition may be circulated and if five per cent of the voters sign it the act must be submitted to the people for ratification be. fole it is spread on the statutes.
 It Is therefore evident that the Republicans will exper- fence some difficulty in enact. ing into laws bills which the governor nav veto.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
The War to Be Treated Exhaustive
 Iy-Shorter Than Reported.

1 Slioi lOi iQti iiCpO| WASHINGTON, D. C., Novem. Der 26.-About 16,O0O, instead of 6O,OCO words, as erroneously announced, will be the limit of the Presidents message. The war will not only constitute the main topic, but it will be handled so eXhaustively as to exclude much of the matter usually included in the mes sage. The President will find space to incorporate only scanty resumes of the most i'm portant features from the re. reports of his Cabinet officers, and many of thelr recommend atlons will have to go without special indorsement. As re- gards monetary reform, 1t is stated that the President will reiterate in brief form what he said year ago. In dealing with the war the President will review the circumstance lead. ing up to hostilities. He will recite the achievements of the army and navy, He will set forth the terms of peace. He will do what no other Prssi- dent has been able to do, deal with the beginning, the course and the glorious ending of a foreign war, all in a single mes- sage to Congress.

GALLOWAY COLLEGE BURNED.
WeII-Known Methodist Institution
 at SearCy Destroyed.

 at Searcy Destroyed,
 LITTLE ROCK, ARK ', Nov. 27. -GalIoway College, located at
 Searcy, was destroyed by fire
 al 4:30 o'clock this morning.
 The fire originated in the fourth
 story ln some mysterious man
 her, and in less than one hour
 the building and entire con
 tents, save two pianos, were a ! total loss. Two hundred peo- pie, of which number 115 were young lady students, were asleep at the time, but not one person was injured Several thrilling and narrow escapes were reported, however, Had the fire first caught in one of the lower stories, there is no telling how many would have perishtd The miraculous es- cape of the students and fac ulty was the topic Of discussion in all rhe Methodist puIpits of Little Rock today.
 Galloway College was one of the most popular institutions of learning in the South It. was under the direct supervis- ion of the three Methodist con- ferences of Arkansas, Rev. Q. c. Golden being the president of the faculty. The buildings Were erected nine wears ago atI a cost of $45,0OO. At the time of the fire there was a drbt of S3O,O0O hanging over the prop erty. Tue insurance will pay off that incum mberance. Presi- dent w G. RatclItf, of lhe col lege boatd of trustees, stated to your correspondent tonight that the buildings Were insured for $25 900 and the furniture S6.O0O or $S.OOO Ile said the board would meet in special session here Monday morning. ! Judge HatcliT and Bishop Nor rison said thry did not think the college would be rebuilt for some time if at all Among the property lost were thirty three pianos and all the wear ing apparel and effects of the faculty and students. The loss to the church. is estimated at $50,O00 The trustees Yester. day submitted to the confer ence, which is now in session in Little Rock, their annual re port of the condition of the college. lt follows in part:
 Twelve months ago we re ported large enrolment, which during the scholastic year reached 24O students The health of both faculty and student has been and continues to be phenomenal, there being no case of serious illness. The financial prosperity of Gallo way is commensurate with its success along other lines. Af ter paying all running eXpens- es for the year 1897 98, there was a balance in the treasury, to be devoted to repairs, 10 the demands incident to the can vass and equipment necessary for the following year, the resi- due to go to the payment of the interest upon the debt. In the employment of the officers and | teachers, mum bering twenty | four, inbOrn talent, tireless en ergy, superior educational ad vantages and sincere plety have been the basis engage ment. Although we have grounds, buildings and furnish- ings worth approximately SGO, 900, the property is burdrned with a debt of about S3O, ,O0O. Since to maintain the present position the entire income of the school must be spent upon the inStstutlon. the only hope of the liquidation of the debt lies in a claim. of nearly S40O0 now in process of collection, to-
