DoWDY's COMMISSION BILL.

The senate has gone on record in favor of q railroad commission for Arkansas, and If that measure fails to pass this time 1t will be the fault of the house. The present result in the senate Is attained after a fight of four years on the stump and in the legislative halls. The adoption of an amendment to the constitution of the state at the last general election authorizing the creation of commission made it apparent that some kind of a com mission would be created. During the last campaign the question was made an issue, and in several instances good man went down in defeat because his less-gifted op- ponent favored railroad commiss- ion bill while he did not and had the courage of hi, convictions to So declare himself. Of the nine votes cast against the Dowdy bill yesterday only two were by sena- tors elected at the last election, the other seven being hold-overs, who were elected before the ques- tioa was voted upon. The mem- bers who had the courage to vote against the bill in the face of pub lie opinion were: Senators Buck ner, Butler, CarIock, Collins, Kimbell, Shackleford, South, Wilson of Washington, and Witt.
 The bill was virtually railroad ei' through the senate, for all eff forts of the opposition to secure a post-ponement of the vote, that

Our Cemetery.

MR. EDITOR On a recent wis It to the New Cemetery, l was sur prised and mortified at the mani fest want of care and negligence in every direction. By some over sight, herd of cattle had recently ranged through the entire grounds, destroying shrubbery and tramp ing over graves; and, in some cases, overturning head-stones. The leaves of autumn lay scatter ed over sage-grown lots, and the walks. covered with tough vines and weeds. 1 am informed by one of the noble ladies, who represents the committee in charge of inn provement works on the Ceme- tery, that the funds for keeping essgrounds in repair are totally inadequate for the purposes, and that in the absence of some compe- tent person to look after the Gene tery, the grounds have been, and are, liable to depredatlons from stock-tilat the funds which, from time to time, have been subscribed have been long since exhausted, and that unless greater interest be manifested by relatives and friends of those who lie buried there, our Cemetery will soon present deplorable appearance. Through the enterprise of few of the ladies of the town, new sub- stantial fence encompasses the grounds, and the central plot and walks had been made quite at traCtive, but ornamentation amounts to nothing, without the personal responsibility and care of everyone chosen for that purpose. If everyone in the city, and many who reside without, who have rel atives buried there, would con- tribute something annually to the general fund, there would be no difficulty Tn securing the services of competent sexton for this pur- pose. 1 am informsd that but Go persons are regular contributors, at one dollar each. The list should be doubled or even thribled before the spring months are over, and we hope our citizens will awake to the importance of early and prompt action Tn this matter. The caring for the dead is labor of love and should not be neglected.

WHETHER the Americans or the Filippinos were responsible for the recent outbreak of hos til1tles may never be certainly known in this country but ore thing Is demonstrated and that IS that the natives of the Philip pine Islands are a liberty-lovine people, whether they deserve liberty or not. When the wom en of a country go to battle like the men, as did the native wom- en of the Philippine Islands, in the recent engagement against the Americans it shows the Spartan pluck, and while they are decidedly lacking in judg- ment their courage cannot be questioned.

house bills on the same subject might be given due consideration,
 were fruitless, and when the de- bate, if one-sided argument can be called such, opened, not a one of the friends of the bill, even the the author, spoke in it's favor. For four hours the opposition made speeches, daring the friends of the bill to show a single thing ln it, except the part provided for three commissioners, that was not al- ready on the statute books, and though an equal time was allowed them 10 answer no one took advan- tage of it, but called for vote. This was taken just before 5 o'clock, and resulting in the pass age of the bill, it receiving IS ayes and 9 noes. A motion to recon sider the vote and lay that motion on the table prevailed, thus pre- venting the matter being again brought up in the senate. Sena- tor South, the leader of the anti commission forces, immediately made the point of order that the bill was illegally passed. The chair overruled him.
 Senator McMullen, who voted against q railroad commission bill last session, stated that he voted aye on the Dowdy bill under "pro- found personal protest, a but fear ed that no other bill would come up.
 The bill as passed provides for three railroad commissioners to be appointed immediately by the governor, but thereafter to be elect ed by the people, their salary to be 5000 per year and expenses. They are allowed one secretary at $I, 500, one clerk at $I,4oo, and such other clerks as may be neces- sary, besides the services of expert accountants whenever necessary. The railroads of the state are to pay all these expenses and salaries
