THE CUBAN scandal is bad enough
goodness knows, but it will be ten
thousand times worse if any ground
is turnished for the charge already
made that the administration has
directed the inspectors to go slow
lest they chance on some higher
officials whose arrest might hope
lessly damage the Republican party.
There is good reason to believe that
the rascality is widespread, and the
public demands that it be probed,
without fear or favor to the very
bottom.

Little Rock Northern R. R.

The thoroughness and expedition
shown by the Little Rock Northern
in laying out their route from Little
Rock to Springfield carry a certain
omen that is refreshing in these days
of confusion and uncertainty among
railroad projectors, who don't know
"where they are at" or where they
are going.
Preliminary locating and cross
section surveys, in three bodies, are
putting in their work in good shape,
at the Little Rock end of the enter
prise, with the head OF the column in
Wiley's Cove, on Monday last. And,
on the same day, the northern end
of the survey had reached St. Joe, by
way of Mill creek, (Searey county, J
with Capt Daugherty in high
feather over the accomplishment of
the most encouraging and satisfac-
tory trial survey made by him in the
mountains of the state.
The remainder of the route, to be
covered by the survey, is that which
calls for the Buffalo valley. But, it
is anticipated of the heavy construc-
ton which it calls for, with the
lights of former surveys before them
that it will prove not more difficult
than the crossing of White river,
Crooked creek and the Little Red
river valley, the intersections Of
which were supposed to chill projec.
tors who had in mind north and
south roads through the state. Anc
the disappearance OF the bugaboo, Of
maximum difficulties and cost may
also be looked for in the passage o
the Buffalo valley,
The dispatch carried into the bust
ness-like exploitation of the road, by
it's active vice president, Mr.. Andrew
Johnson, of New York, now of Littl
Rock, is not the first rush work h,
has called tor in the history of tn,
enterprise. 1t is this gentleman al
whose behest Mr. Worthen issued
the urgency call upon Little Rocl
subscribers to the 100000 bonus
of last year, with view to the ear
Hest construction possible. And tn,
energy he exhibits after more than {
years study of the situation, al
well as since taking the road out o
the hands of Mr.. Worthen, shows
that he and his associates mean bus
mess.
1t is what our people of the min
eral belt have been looking for thes
many years, the man or set of mer
who have the financial ability ant
energy to carry through with yin
the construction of railroads calcu
lated to benefit the country, as they
will be benefited, no doubt of it, b,

A MARION county political mendi-
cant, who looks upon others as pos
sessed Of his own peculiar poverty of
principle and party enterprise, says
he would prefer giving his money to
some poor widow woman rather
than to announce in the democratic
papers OF his district. Undoubtedly
the democratic party would do bet
ter to give the Office of Prosecuting
Attorney to some very poor widow
woman than to select a worn out
demagogue with no ability as alaw-

\ SURELY the world moves, when the
New York Times says of Col, Bryan:
1T is simple justice to say that the
leader of the democracy now presents
more respectable figure than in
any previous year since he entered
national politics. The Bryan OF 1900
stands before the people as a man
with the boldness of honest convic-
tions. The sincerity and courage of
such an attitude are admirable"

IT is too bad that Otis should have
left before this last Manila plot was
discovered, or he could have again
dec Jared the rebellion crushed. By
the way, isn't it extraordinary that
Filipino plots are always discovered?
Never yet has there been a successful
one, though at least one is nipped
in the bud daily. Is it possible that
as long as Uncle Sam is willing to
pay for finding plots, win they be
discovered?
