By the way. why does not some one
contest a speed arrest? Is there ever
any legal evidence in such cases? Ger
tainly the mere say-so of the arresting
policeman is not sufficient to secure a

Al YOUNG man, arrested for fast BIZ
cycle riding yesterday, complained IN
court this morning that the policeman
who made the arrest, was insulting, to
use his own words, talked to him as If
he were an animal.
This charge calls for thorough exami-
nation. If it is false, the officer should
be vandieated. If it is true, the officer
ought to be remorselessly dismissed from
the force.
Even an arrest can be made with de-
cency and ciyiltty, and when it is for
such a mere technical and trdfiing offense
as fast bicycle riding, 1t ought to be made
with every possible consideration for the
victim.
Ther should be no more room on the
force for rufiians than for drunkards.

THE old pope of Rome, his life flick
ering out, but his mind still keeping
watch and control over his church
throughout the world. has sent word to
the Catholic priests in the Philippines
to uphold the American government in
all things and establish the American
church in the islands. 1t must be diff
fcult for the Roman Catholic, Italian
mind to feel the spirit of our new free
country, spirit that has been strong
enough to enter into and modify the
powerful, centuries old Roman church,
but the pope is content to have the
American Catholic church hold to its
Americsnism. It is curious that while,
In our country, we have many citizens
possessed with great fear that the
Catholic church is on the point of pos
sessing our United States body and
soul and transforming it into Catholic
country, the Catholic fathers in Europe
are greatly afraid that the American

WHEN will the south understand
that by sllying berself with the dem
oorats, the oft discredited party of
calamity, she is injuring herself i'm
measurably? A few days ago the
HERALD editorially discussed the
short sighted policy of the
farmers in persistently running down
their own credit. Democratic leaders
are doing the same thing for the south.
They assert in their speeches and in
their writings that the south is
poverty stricken, that its.resources are
undeveloped, that its farms lie
fallow, that it's rural population is
getting deeper into debt every year
and. in general, that its people are VIC
Tins of the long established and tho
roughly American policies of protec
tion and sound municipalities which
these same democratic leaders falsely
declare to be sectional. Why does
not the south rise in mass and indig-
nantly repudiate these fslse structures
against its credit and industrial
stability? The south Is not pow
erty stricken. 1t is one of the rich
est domains on the face of the
globe. Her people are well aware of
these facts and they are making gil
gautic strides in the development OF
internal trade, foreign commerce, man
ufactures, scientific farming, and all
those things that make for the great
est and most permanent prosperity.
Let the south, then, cast utterly aside
all those greedy politicians and dis
sohemsrs among the leaders |
of the democratic party, who. not hav-
Ing the slightest interest in building |
up the south, are using it to further
their own selfish plans, to it's manifest
and material loss.

Effects of Railroad Enterprise
an Antonio Express.

San Antonio Express.
A Little Rock, Ark, correspondent
of the Manufacturers Record tells OF
the great improvement in the CONNER
ciel and Industrial condition of that
city and of Central Arkansas, and saws
the evolution is due entirely to the era
of railroad building recently inaugural
ed.
He says that for many years Little
Rock had virtually but one railway
system, and consequently, whether
| freight rates were reasonable or not,
there seemed to be no desire on the
part of industrial concerns or large
commercial houses to locate there.
The town continued for long time
| almost at a stsndstill, anG that is near
ly equivalent to going backwer 8.
About year ago citizens of Little
Rock took up the matter of building a
new railroad with great enthusiasm
and subscribed bonus of 800, 900, in
addition to another bonus for railroad
shops. The road Is now under con-
strucuion, track laying Is progressing
rapidly and the whole country there,
about is feeling the stimulus of the
new industry. The correspondent of
the Record says the new country
penetrated by the road, heretofore
without railroad facilities, Is teeming
wsth prospectors and new towns sand
cities are springing up like magic.
The people OF Little Rock were so well
pleased with the result of the invest
ment of 100000 in new railroad
that they were quick to respond to a
second invitation with bonus of $780,
600, raised with little effort, for new
railroad from Little Rock to Hot
Springs, q distance of fifty miles |
Contracts for construction have been
let and it is expected that the
mi he r.1o fn6 at
in operation within year.
But this Is not all. The spirit of en- |
terprise and public veal having been |
aroused, it was determined that more |
railroad facilities, more arteries of |
trade were wanted. The Arkansas
Northern railroad was projected, back
ed by New York syndicate, and the
and backed the board of trade in q
guaranty OF bonus of S100, ZOO for tn e
road, which, when completed, will be
operated in connection with the St.
Louis and San Francisco railroad and
will be PIP miles in length, running
northward. AS to the effect OF this
Development, the correspondent says:
This great railroad movement has
caused q marked increase in business
If all description In this city. In fact,
Little Rock is making an evolution
rom small city to q great metropolis.
A year ago there were vacant stores
md residences. Now there is no {
'acant edifice Of any sort in the city. s
New industrial plants and new mercan-
lie houses are opening up continually |
q Little Rock. One factory alone, $
which will manufacture furniture, s
7agon material, ect., is now being /
rected, and will employ 300 hands"
It must be borne in mind that while +
be railroad is under construction those I
ngsged in the work must be fed and I
lothed, and the money comes back to
be city which contributes it in a large
leasure before the work is done. Now 4
oppose it were San Antonio that was {
lding railroad development in the b
outhwest where there are no railroad v
Icilities, and then think what the n
