GOOD ROADS.


 President Millar of Hendrix College and Chairman of the good roads committee of the State published an article in last Thurs days Gazette, in which among oth- CT things he says:
 "During the last five years there has been decided growth of pulp lie sentiment in favor of good roads. This found expression Tn the large and enthusiastic road convention held in Little Rock two years ago and bore fruit in the passage by the last legislature of fairly good road law.
 As the law required adoption by the county courts of the several counties, and as the magistrates had little opportunity to inform themselves of the nature of the law, it is not surprising that 1t was put into operation in only few coun- ties.
 "Ilowever. even where the law was understood, 1t frequently could not be used because of in- sufficient revenue. To overcome this difficulty county expenses must be reduced. or new source of revenue must be found. Since good roads cannot be had without money and the constitution re- striets the county to five mills, the legislature wisely submitted a con- stitutional amendment known as amendment No. S, which is to be presented to the electors at the September election.
 "If the amendment carries a tax not to exceed three mills can be levied in the county only when majority of the votes in the county have been cast for the road tax. Thus it is a thorough going local option measure, and the people in each county will settle the road question for themselves. Of course, in order to become operative in any way it must first be adopted hence it Is important that the issue be kept before the voters and be properly understood.
 "Some persons think that in voting for the amedment they vote for the tax in their county. Not so. If a majority of the votes cast in the whole state is for the amedment, it simply becomes part of the constitution and the tax is not levied in any county un- til the people of the county vote for the tax.
 "There are men who do not ex- pect to vote for the tax, but they should vote for the amendment to give the people in other counties the right to secure good roads by taxation.
 As the tax can only be used | for roads and bridges, the amend nent is safe and satisfactory, and should be supported by every in- -elligent and progressive citizen, not simply by his vote but by ac- i've influence.
 The issue is nonpartisan and should so remain. Men of all E parties should unite to give the large vote. In no better way can we advertise our  state.
 II suggest that in each county some one who feels an abiding in- crest in this movement, after con- ,ulting with others, issue call for | road meeting at a covenient time md place, and at the meeting sev- ,ral judicious men be selected to lttend all public gatherings dur he summer and present the road question and especially the im- ,ortance of the fifth amendment.
 "Particular care should be taken

THE sPANIARDs AS FIGHTERS

The Courier Journal, under the above caption, says;
 It is well not to go into war with Spain under the supposition that it is to be walkover for our navy. The Spaniards, in the first place, have been fghting-for three years and are thus experienced in war; in the second place, the Lat ins are as much a fighting race as the Anglo-Saxons. During the last hundred years Spain has been engaged in war for sixty years, and there is much in such expert ence. Her Mariners are recruited from her sea coast population and are skillful sailors as well as brave men.
 Me can gain some idea of the desperate courage with which the Latins fight by recalling the his tory of the naval struggle between Peru and Chili in 1879. No more determination or bravery was ev- CT displayed. The Peruvian iron clad Huascar, after d brilliant predatory expedition that lasted for three months, was returning home to reft and repair under command of Admiral Grau. On the Sth of October he sighted a Chillian fleet containing two iron elads, and after vain attempt to escape, fought them single-handed for hours with terrible losses. Admiral Grau was killed in the conningtower; commander who succeeded him was slain and the Lieutenant who followed was shot down by d marine in a Chilian ship which lay alongside. The carnage and slaughter was fearful, but the few remaining Peruvians resisted boarding party until overpower- ed and then 1t was discovered that the chief engineer of the Huascar had seuttIed his ship, though the vietors managed to save it. This was the most famous engagement of the war, but in previous one when Chiian ship was sunk the crew resisted rescue by the Peru vians, stabbing them with their knives. Over half submitted to drowning rather than capture. These people were practically Spaniards, and probably fought no better than Spaniards will fight.
 There can be no doubt of the issue of the war with Spain, but 1t Is we'll not to be too sanguine at the start. In this struggle be- tween Chili and Peru the result was perhaps decided by the acci- dental sinking of the Peruvian iron-clad Independencia, which was decoyed into shallow water by Chilian Corvette and wrecked while Admiral Grau was winning q brilliant victory with the Huascar. Accident may give the Spanish the in the first battle and then our enthusiastic Americans may find themselves in much the same condition as were the Wash ington authorities after the first Bull Run. It is better to be pre- pared for temporary reverses, though sure of ultimate victory. We have the righteous cause and are thrice armed in that at any rate.

Provision Made for Comfort of the,
 Delegates and Other Visitors to
 Cincinnati
 Members of the executive committee of the national council of administra- tion of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie met recently with the Cincinnati citizens committee and went carefully over the plans which have been made for the national c. A. R. encampment in that city, September to 10. The com- mitteemen expressed themselves par ticularly pleased with the preparations which had been made by the local com mittee for the entertainment and care of the old soldiers. In other encamp- ment cities it has been customary for the committees to take the best care of the delegates and allow the members of the order in general to take care of themselves. While the delegates will in no way be sighted by the Cincinnati committee,it has been made an especial point with them to make the stay of the old soldiers in Cincinnati the most pleasant and profitable.
 The quartering of such posts as come in a body in some of the best school houses will be undertaken with the as- signment of special members of the big committee to look after every school house. and every member so as signed will have under him two special sworn-in police officers, who will act as guard and officers to look after the welfare of the veterans during their stay. Regular visits will be made every day to all the school houses where veterans are quartered by mem bers of the medical corps, all well known physicians, and the old soldiers will be given free medical attention when needed
 In different places about the city va cant storerooms have been secured that will be turned into resting places for the old soldiers during their going about the city. These stopping places will be on every square, in so far as vacant rooms can be procured, and in them will be cots, chairs, water coolers, wash rooms, tables and writing materials, so that there will be no occasion for any member of the Grand Army to go in need of anything needful The churches of the city have agreed to throw open their Sunday schools and vestry rooms for the use of the wives and daughters of the old soldiers in the same way as the resting places that have been provided for the men.
