No Reason for Delay,

The Importance Of acting promptly on
the Cuba constitution offers a valid rea-
son for an extra session OF congress,
whether the proposed Philippine legisla-
tion does or not. But II the Cuba consti-
tuition is put before congress at any time
within a week of adjournment, no extra
session should be necessary on its ac-
count. The Cubans are entitled to make
such constitution for themselves as they
wish and the congress OF the United States
should take very little time in discussing
or amending II.

Boosting Unknown writers.

The attempt OF O prominent New York
publishing house to foster American litera-
ture by holding out definite encouragement
to young and unknown writer's is distinctly
commendable. The plan, however, OF put
ting out novel by one Of these unknown
Americans as often as once a month for a
whole year is making the general public
share in the attempt to a degree which may
be trying to the eyes and nerves.

DIRECTLINE=
OF RAILWAY FROM PINE BLUFF
 TO MALVERN
At an Early Date Is an Assured Fact, and There May Be Two
 Lines.

That Pine Bluff will have direct line of railway with Malvern within the next two years seems more prob able than ever before Eastern capi- talists extensively interested in the Choctaw have been quietly investi- Satin@ the matter of a proposed route. and have written to Pine BluffianS asking for right of way through this city with privilege of running a line southeast from here. through a DOT tion of the state hitherto undeveloped. It is expected that representatives from the east will arrive here this week to discuss the matter. and put a force of men to work on the line of the old survey between this city and Malvern. The chief engineer of the party is now at Hot Spring.. await ing the arrival of other members of the party. Should the plans of the company be eonsumated. the line will be operated in one of the richest 1 timber belts of South Arkansas. which lies along Bayou Bartholomew.
 The Pine Bluff and Western rail road. which has for some time been operated between Pine Bluff and DoyIetown, q distance of about fifjvG.
 miles, ih the interest of the Sa#yzsr X Austin Lumber company. is n6N being extended to Sheridan. Grant county. | nder the supervision of prominent railway contractor of St Louis, a large force of men is now grading the roadbed, and the line cf twelve miles necessary to reach Sbori dan. will be in operation within the coming six months As soon as this line is completed to Sheridan work on survey to Benton and Malvern Will be commenced by the Pine Bluff and Western people, and the route Will be laid to one Of these points Which one Of tie two routes will be taken will be decided later by the company. From Sheridan to Nal. vern is distance of thirty five miles and the proposed line, if run to Nal vern. will put Pine Bluff in closer touch with an undeveloped portion ef the state, than she has ever been be fore The result of the operation of both the contemplated lines will place Pine Bluff on a footing with any city in the state in the way of transporta- tion facilities.

ADMIRAL SCHLEY Signs of a Boom for the Hero of Santiago For Presi-
 dent. TT IS NOT BELIEVED THAT HE WOULD CONSIDER THE
 MATTER AT ALL, Owing to the Chaotic Condition of the Democratic Party at
 Present
COULD STAND ON ANY PLATFORM

Washington, Oet.=7,-H would not be surprising if before long some one should spring a boom for Rear Ad- miral Sehley for president on the Democratic ticket, however short lived such move might be- The popularity of Schley is meuestioned, and whatever may be the decision of the court of inquiry, the majority of the people will look upon him as the real naval hero at Santiago. But heroes do not always make good poli- tical candidates, as in the ease of Ad- miral Dewey for example It would be hard to find an observant person who believes that Schley would seri- ously= consider the matter of being candidate for president, one para mount consideration being the chaotic condition of the Democratic party at present and the extreme uncertainty of Democratic success in the next presidential election.
 Still there are many enthusiastic Democrats who believe that in the person of Sehley they have found candidate who might go great ways towards uniting the party and har- monizing the various warning ale- ments They point 10 the fact that the naval officer has no political rec. ord and could safely stand on any platform that the Democratic cbnven- tion might adopt. They further in- sist that there is no other entirely sat isfactory Democratic possibility for president and that Schley would be a safe compromise. Sehley would hard ly give encouragement to the use of his name in this connection.

Anarchy Is in Our Midst.

We can no longer" says MT. Cleve- land, doubt the existence and growth of spirit of anarchy ill cur midst tlt seems to need no special exciting cause to arouse it to deadly activity, but deliberately plans murder in high places"
 The Americen people he continues. are lnqulrlng why We allow the growth Of anarchy to continue--why we let it gain focthold in our soil in the first place. He goes on as follows:
 Nor will these questioners be satis- fled with mere relief from the future importation of the dangers of anarchy. They are asking if our popular gov ernment would be subjected to mon arehial taint if strong and effective remedies were applied to the suppress sion of the machinations of anarchists who have already a foothold among us. They were vagrants, common gam blers, suspected criminals and disord- ely ptiSOlS Ill tItt ldlUS or the Ia w for the harm they may do of feeble kind and within narrow limits; and they cannot understand why anar- ehists. whose diabolical character and teachings are. or ought to be, well known. are allowed to plot and con- spire antil bloody assassination strikes down the embodiment Of efficient rule and shakes the foundations of lawful authority.

friendly greeting and hearty grasp Of his hand, with no favors to ask and no selfish cause to urge, bring pleasant relief from official perplexities and annoying importunities.
