The Twentieth Century.

Great minds differ in nearly all
things so do small minds. In proof of
this, believe that the twentieth cen
fury begins on January l, 1900, and to
prove this will take MIR. Lyons own
words and say that all things must
have beginning Therefore time be-
gins with the birth of Christ. 1899 or
1900 should be written with A. d. be-
fore it, which means after Christ or
after the birth of Christ Therefore
when Christ was born he Immediately
commenced on his first year. One
year after he was born would be year
A. ID. l, therefore the year 100 would
be 100 years after the birth of Christ
so 1900 would be 1900 years after the
birth of Christ and just as soon as the
year 1900 commenced it would be the
starter of the twentieth century, be-
cause 1900 means 1900 full years after
the birth of Christ. Ii a man was
buying something for $4,000 aud he
counted you out $500 one dollar at q
time and then gave you a nickle more,
that was part payment on the TWEEN
tieth dollar. What do you think?

TO FINISH 1T NEXT YEAR
North Western to Complee Double
Trsck In the Spring.

Nonparejl: Owing to the frost in
the ground the Moth Western rail-
road has discontinued the work of
double tracking its line between Coun-
Gil Bluffs and Missouri Valley. The
double tracking has been completed
and is IN use from Missouri Valley to
within five miles of the Broadway de-
pot. All this work has been done this
season. Next year as soon as the wea-
ther is favorable in the spring the dou-
BILE tracking will be finished into the
city and then the work of extending
the second track to Carroll will be
taken up. When this last stretch is
connected up the North Western will
have double tracks from Chicago to
Council Bluffs.
Yesterday about $50 of the men who
have been employed on the double
tracking all summer, we're brought to
this city for shipment back to Chicago
where they were secured last spring
The men were paid only apart of their
last months wages here. the rest be-
ing retained by the company until
they reach Chicago in order to get them
to return home and with some money
to their credit. About $4,000 was
given to the men yesterday, however,
and they managed toleave good sum
in the shops and saloons on West
broadway before their special train

pleted nineteen full years and be-

fact. 1.-THE year l begana n Twas

birth of Jesus of Nazareth and
the year 2 began when he was l
year old, then the twentieth en-
fury will not begin until 1901, but
it on the contrary the year l was
not counted until he was twelve
months old then the twentieth
century begins with January l

looking Snowman replied ''You

there is probably no positive way
of settling the question of wheth-

The newspapers that have "slurred" the legislature will please take notice that a resolu- tlon was introduced in the house yesterday by Mir. Martin, of Cleburne, "condemning" such journals, and "furthermore" withdraw ing the support ot members from such papers, Ark. Democrat.
 It is indeed, great pity that the talents of this "peepul's rep resenter" should be wasted in the introduction of such resolu- tions as attributed to him i'll the above. when he could just as easily have introduced one to stop the Mississippi river from over-flowing. or the blizzards from coming. out of season. We presume, however, that this is Mir. Martins first term, and he didn t care to tackle too big a job in the beginning. Say what you will, Martin is the coming man.

captions here and there where the criticism of certain newspapers has been harsh and unmerited. What else could be expected? We do not all see alike, and great lati- tude must be allowed the press in dealing with public men and pub lie measures. If the legislature or any of its members have been dealt with unjustly the people will find it out in due time and very properly resent it; if the papers tell the truth, as they do in most cases, it is very bad policy to at tempt to stifle their utterances by denuneiatory resolutions.-Arkan-

THE Legislature has decided that a forty days extension is necessary for the state and hence by vote of both branches of that august body the session has been extended for that period of time. Ofcourse, to ordinary mortals, there was no excuse for an extension of the session be vond the constitutional limit of sixty days; but to the aver age legislator 1t was absolutely necessary to extend. An exten- sion of forty days means forty thousand dollars additional ex- penses to the taxpayers of the state. The boys who go to the Capital revel in the luxuries of city life while the people pay dearly for the fun.

Y.) dalryman call ed at drug store there for 8 doc tor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not find ing the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The drug gist, MT.

I reckon the damage to the State, taking everything in. to consideration, has been a great deal over one million dollars. The farmers here made good crops of everything they planted last year. They will be late planting this year, on account of bad weather. log-rolling is the order of the day, at present.
 There is some suffering from chills and bad colds.
 The nth night in this month was the coldest l ever experienced. There was some hominy snow here this morning, and we may have another big snow.

IF the members of the General Assembly thought it expedient to extend the session forty days, 1t would have been much more manly in them to have passed the resolution by a yea and nae vote than to have merely stood up and be counted, like so many sheep in pen. Having passed the resolution i'll the manner in which they did every member is responsible for the forty days ex- tension, and if we mistake not the temper of the people 1t will be quite awhile before the same lot get another chance at exten- sion.

THE LITTLE ROCK RACES.

The next big attraction at Little Rock is the Spring meeting of the Arkansas Jockey Club, which be- gins on March goth and continues until April 9th. The races this spring will be the best ever held in Little Rock, and equal to any to be seen anywhere in this country. Over 400 of the finest race horses in training will be at the track to participate in the races, and the sport will be superb.
 The program shows that there will be five good races every day of the meeting There are three big stake races on the program in which the best horses will come to gether. Chief among these class ic events is the Arkansas Derby which will be run on the opening day of the meeting.
 The Derby is always an inter esting event, and attracts thous- ands of visitors from all over the State. This year the Derby will attract unusual attention on ac. count of the large number of high class horses entered, and Derby Day at Little Rock this spring will surpass any of its predeces- sors.
 All railroads will make special reduced rates for the races, and Little Rock is preparing to enter tain in splendid style the large crowds who will visit the Capital City during the meeting of the Jockey Club.

THEY WERE TABLED.

Yesterday morning just after the reading of the journal of the house, the Hon. Vim. E. Martin, of Gle burne, who is put down in the leg islatiye directory as 2 years old, teacher and a methodist, intro duced the following resolution i:
 "Be it resolved, That we, the members of the house of represen- tatives, do hereby condemn any newspaper or papers coming to our desk which shall slur the Ark ansas legislature in manner that would be a discredt to this fair body or the good name of this state; furthermore,
 Resolved. That such newspa- pers engaging in writing articles as mentioned that we. the mem- bers of this body. withdraw any support and patronage from such newspapers"
 On motion of the Hon. Hardin K. Toney. of Jefferson, who is a Democrat, 22 years old, clerk and presbyterian, the resolutions were promptly tabled. The house did we'll to table the resolutions. Let 1t be admitted that some news papers do "discredit this fair body and even the good name of the state. The sensible thing for the flair body" to do is to move along and pay no attention to it. Does young MT. Martin be- lieve that he is paid S6 day and mileage to get up resolutions con- demning certain newspapers and with drawing patronage from them? We sincerely hope not. suppose the house had adopted his resolutions and boycotted the of lending newspapers. This.is what the people would have said r: "That legislature is Tn small business frit- tering away valuable time con- demning newspapers that exercise the constitutional right of express ing free opinions. If they did less of this sort of business they would not have to extend their session. This is the way the peo- pie would talk about it, and they would be right Mir. Toney, who is also a very young man, and a sensible one, took this view of the case when he moved to. table the resolutions. The house in tabling did very sensible thing. So far as the observation of "The Demo- crat" goes, the state press, city and country, as rule has dealt fairly with the Arkansas legisla- ture. There may have been cx-

A FEW extraordinary exten- sions of the Arkansas Legisla- ture will convince most people that the Arkansas Dem6crat is about right when it advocates paying members so much term instead oi S60o per day. Each of the members will draw six hundred dollar salary. this term, and it may be more, for the so- Ions may decide to further ex- tend the session before the year IS out, if the treasury is not de pleted.
