corders and sheriff in the state is
not the first bill that has been
introduced in the Arkansas leg
islature within the past few years
having for its object the reduc-
ton Of fees now received by these
officials, and it is quite likely that
his bill will meet the fate Of the
balance. We do not take to the
idea that the positions Of clerk
and sheriff can be filled by COM
petent men at a salary Of $500 a
year. The man who is compe-
tent to fill these positions is not
looking for a job at such figures,
the statement of our worthy sem
ator to the contrary notwith-
standing,
The RECORD does not believe
that the people Of the debt-ridden
county Of Sharp are ready just
yet for a law such as Senator
King proposes. His bill virtually
kills the salary law now in effect,
and it is a we'll known fact that
Tom Herrn was elected to the
legislature three successive terms,
defeating each time opponents Of
the salary law, Therefore, we
take it that the people Of this
county have at three different
times voiced their sentiments on
this question. We had thought
the matter settled, and, while
this question was not an issue in
the last senatorial campaign, it
is our information that Mr.. King
stated en- the stump that, if
elected, he would leave the SAL
ary law alone, unless otherwise
petitioned by a majority of the
citizens of the county, as he
thought the matter had been pre-
viously passed upon by the peo-
pie. Now the question arises,
have a majority of our people
advised him that they are tired
of the present law, and demanded
its repeal or that its effects be
virtually killed? >
The exact figures Of the finan-
cial standing of the county for
the past ten years would be of
interest just here. These figures
are taken from the clerks yearly
report printed in the RECORD
For the years 1892, 1898 and 1894
the files are destroyed, corse-
quently the figures for these
years do not appear. In 1896
the county debt amounted tc
So, ,324.85; in 1891, S6,421,53;
in 1895, S24, 4,776.15; in 1896,
S24,821.53; in 1897, S24,906.94;
in 1898 S21, ,559 .04; in 1899, ST.
919.0O; in 1900, 15,773.39.
From these figures we find that
from 1890 to 1895 the indebted
ness Of the county leaped, in
round numbers, from $1,000 tC
S24, 900. The man who was clerk
during these years, and who tells
of making S35 in single days, is
now the author Of the bill look
ing towards the reduction of the
fees and the salvation of the
country! The RECORD sees that
Senator King is somewhat tardy
is realizing his duties to the
"doar peepul."

A GOOD SHAKING UP
ON EDITORIAL STAFF

"The trouble with this force" said
the new city editor, "is that every
body has got into a rut. What it
wants is shaking up and changing
around. Take the routine men off
their beats and put them on others.
That's the way to get a live paper"
So he sent the baseball reporter to
the laying of a church corner stone,
assigned the cub to write dramat-
ic criticism, sent the dramatic editor
to an Easter day sermon, turned the
football man to work of chronicling
the arrival of notables at the hotels,
and sent the young lady who acted
as society reporter to write up" the
turkey trade. When the "copy" came
up this is the way it read:
Football Editors Hotel Report
Tommy Johnson, the we'll known dog
man, is at the Ham House.
Rough House Murphy, the famous
home player. is registered at the Bon
Ton.
Bunt Brown, the left guard, who
was injured in the last football game,
was able to eat dinner at the Hotel
Lobster yesterday.
Wilfrid Laurier, of Ottawa, is in
the city.
Cub Reporters Dramatic Criticism
We witnessed with pleasure last
night charming play called "a Mid.
Summer Nights Dream" which a
gentleman named James, with quite
a number of other talented gentle
men and ladies, presented. We can
frankly say that not since our child
hood have we witnessed such pleas
ing entertainment, and we promise
Mr.. James that if he ever feels the
need of a recommendation from us as
an actor we will cheerfully give it
We were very much pleased indeed
and we hope that the handsome young
actor may soon rise to place o1
eminence in his chosen profession
There was quite a large audience.

uncouth, ill-apparelled men, their stur-

Sleek, plump fowls they were, their
nude bodies yellow with the adipoise
tissue forced upon them by the hard
hearted farmer, who bartered their
harmless lives for gain. Hundreds
upon hundreds of crates of dead birds
butchered to make a holiday, were
piled up ON the crowded sidewalks,
while other crates filled with querel-
ously clucking live turkeys stood just
| inside the doors of the great marts.
For 18 cents pound they sold. Eigh-
teen cents! Lives of innocents ruth

THE DECISION IN
THE DOWNES CASE
Will Uphold the Government In Its
Acts Up to This Time.


In the dissenting opinion Justice
White said the court would later in
the Downes case hold that congress
had the power under the Porto Rico
tariff act to impose a tariff duty on
goods coming from Porto Rico.
Washington. May 27.-The United
States supreme court today handed
down opinions covering all the issues
on insular questions. Although sew
eral of the decisions upheld the con-
testants on certain issues raised, yet
in the most important decision, that
of Downes VS.. Bidwell, Justice Brown
announced a sweeping decision of the
court, upholding the general attitude
and policy of the government up to
the present time. If this decision is
to affirm the constitutionality of the
Foraker act and to give congress
power to deal with the newly acquired
territory, the decision also has the
effect of declaring that the new insular
possessions do not acquire all the
privileges and rights of the consti-
tuition.

The Affections of a Dusky
Tender1oin Damsel
AUSE BAD BLOOD
Bell Shoots Dupree Through the Shoulder
Arrested and Held for Trial in
the District Court.

AS a result of quarrel over the
. affections Of a dusky belle of the ten
derloin, shooting scrape took place
this morning about l o'clock between
Josh Bell and Alfred Dupree, both
colored.
There had been bad blood between
the two men for some time and when
they became rivals the town was too
small to hold both.
The trouble took place in one of the
cribs near the corner of Third street
and First avenue west. After some
words Bell pulled a gun and shot
Dupree through the right shoulder,
: the bullet passing through, making a
painful, but not serious wound.
Officer Beaudette was summoned
but before he arrived Bell had skip
ped and was in hiding The sheriff s
Office was notified and Undersheriff
Mccarthy and Deputy Sheriff O'Neill
= went to Demersville, as it was sup
posed that Bell would make an at
tempt to leave on the boat The ne
gro did not put an an appearance
however, and the officers returned to

-.church on Third avenue east they

ed. When searched by Deputy
O'Neill the weapon with which he did
lie shooting was found. He was
placed in Jail and arraigned before
Justice Macarthur this afternoon at
O'Clock and was bound over to the
district court in $1,5OO bonds. His
trial will come up Friday The wound
cd man was able to walk up to doc
tors Office at noon.
1t was learned by the authorities
that the friends of Bell were making
an effort to have Dupree leave town
and not appear against him. In con
sequence a warrant was sworn out
for Dupre's arrest on a charge of dis
turbing the peace, and he will be de
tanned as a witness.

Washington, May 27.-Justice
Brown of the United States supreme
court today announced the decision of
that court in the insular cases. The
main opinion was handed down in
the Delima case. Justice Brown, who
announced the courts decision on
points Of jurisdiction, holds that the
lower court had jurisdiction Justice
Brown held that right to acquire
territory involved the right to govern
and control it by congress, but he
said that the country could not be
both foreign and domestic. The opin-
ion was opposed to the contention of
the government. He concluded that
at the time the duties were collected
Porto Rico was not foreign country,
but territory of the United States.
Justice Brown concluded as fol-
lows: 1--WE are of the opinion, that
at the time these duties were levied,
Porto Rico was not a foreign country
within the meaning of the tariff laws,
but territory of the United States,
that those duties were illegally exact
ed and that the plaintiffs are entitled
to recover them The judgment of
the circuit court for the southern dis
trict of New York, is therefore revers-
cd, and the case remanded to that
court for further proceedings in con-
sonance with this opinion
