An Important Proposition.

An important proposition, and one
that has for its object the solution of
the convict labor problem, will soon be
presented to the present general assem-
bly,.
The plan is for the state TO purchase
the Sunnyside plantation, now owned
by the Sunnyside Company, which is
controlled by the Austin Corbin estate.
This plantation, which is one Of the
finest in the South, is in Chicot county
near Lake Village. 1t was purchased
by the late Austin Corbin, a New York
capitalist, in 1887, and greatly improved
and colonized by Italians. The plant.
alton consists of about 13, 900 acres, OF
which 4, 400 are under cultivation. The
largest crop made by the company was
3 800 bales of cotton. The original
cost Of the plantation and improvements
was upward of 81 900, 900. Among the
improvements are 250 houses and Ia
miles of railway.
1t is understood the company is will.
ing to sell the plantation to the state fol
$3.50 600, and will suggest that the state
issue bonds to run twenty years in pay
ment for it, the profits from the farm tc
be used as a sinking fund to meet the
interest and principal of the debt. The
net profit to the Sunyside Company this
year from the crop will be, it is estimat.
ed, about $50, 900, Operated by con.
vict labor, the projectors of the scheme
argue that greater profit could bt
realized annually by the state, which
would enable it to payfor the plantation
in about ten years.

He will BE Missed.

From the Burlington IN. J) Democrat
Another of the retiring members OF
this Congress who will be sadly missed
is Judge William Leake Terry of Little
Rock, Ark. He has served five consec-
utive terms in Congress and was defrat-
ed for denomination to the Fifty seventh
Congress by only one vote. While the
nominating convention was In session
he remained quietly in Washington
looking after the interests of his district
and constituents and thereby lost the
denomination. But he doesn t worry
about it. He will come back to the
fty-eighth Congress II he wants to-
In fact there ism t anything in the gift
of the state of Arkansas that he can t
have if he wants it. He is one of those
men who deserve all they get, but never
get all they deserve. For years he has
been one of the foremost figures in the
house and either in committee room, on
the floor or the hustings, he is a power,
and as ranking member of the Judiciary
committee he has had opportunity to
be of invaluable service to the whole
country. He is a tall, distinguished
looking man, very quiet IN demeanor
and modest and retiring by nature. His
fine suit of curly chestnut hair, which
he cultivates rather profusely, made him
for time a mark for the cartoonist ;
but it was soon discovered that there
was something under that hair which
entitled him to the respect of men and
journalists and today there is not a
more popular and highly esteemed man
on the floor Of the house than Judge
Terry.

John Muskrat Pardoned.

1t had often been remarked that ex.
Governor Jones seemed to take especial
delight in pardoning criminals convict
ed in Judge Evans court. We hereto
fore have taken no stock in this talk,
but the action of the ex-governor, just
before going out of Office, of pardoning
Muskrat lends color to this claim and
the action is generally denounced as az
outrage by the people of this section.
Muskrat has been considered dan
gerous character in the section where
he lived for number of years, and had
the governor wished to act in con-
scientious manner in this case he would
have given the people best acquainted
with the case chance to present their
side, instead of simply listening to
Muskrat's 8 attorneys.

The Prison Problem.
From the Little Rock Gazette.

From the Little Rock Gazette.
4 An important measure that vii
probably be presented to the genera
assembly at its session this year will be
one looking to the permanent settlement
of the penitentiary question.
The problem of making prison labor
self supporting and in way that will
least conflict with free labor, has moi
yet been solved in Arkansas. At every
meeting of the legislature of this state
the subject Is brought up and discussed
and while the penitentiary management
has been greatly Improved, still, like
that of many other states, 1t has not
reached that degree of perfection which
it is universally desired should be
attained.
In the South prison labor should be
more and more satisfactorily controlled
than in the older ones. The desire to
avoid friction with free labor is usually
the end aimed at by all legislation on
the subject introduced in the Arkansas
general assembly. The demand for
such legislation comes, as a rule, from
the wage workers of the state.
Mississippi and Texas have been quite
successful in their employment OF con
vict labor. The former recently pur-
chased valuable tract of land in the
delta. which it is operating with 1000
convicts. Texas owns 3 1000 acres of
land near Brazoria, and all her convicts
are at work on the big farm, the state
deriving profit every year from their
labor The purchase and operation of
convict farms may prove the solution of
the prison problem in all agricultural
states.
The Arkansas City journal is in
favor eff the adoption of the system by
this state. In recent editorial the
"Journal said: "The convicts of
Mississippi and Texas, being chiefly
from the colored population, are EN-
ployed on state farms in those regions
where their labor would be most
profitable. Should Arkansas follow
their example, which it would be wise
for her to do, she would naturally turn
to the alluvial lands of the Mississippi
river bottoms. where she might expect
the largest returns -
Should such proposition be present
ed to the Arkansas legislature during
Its present session it will be well for
members to investigate the system in
Mississippi and Texas before enacting a
law for its adoption by this state.

About the Stufllng Process.

Is not our "course of study a little
too crowded. Are we not trying to
teach too many things? Would 1t not
be better to teach but few subjects
very few-at n time and teach them
well before taking up any new studyH
To complete a given course children are
hurried from one subject to another
until in absolute self-defense the mind
takes refuge in dullness. A completed
''course of study does not signify
thoroughness or mastery of single sub
iect. More stress should be given to
the knowing of something about given
study. The child had better feel sure
that "he knows what he knows on a
certain subject than to be rushed thro
an extended course treating Of every
thing
The above is from the "Arkansas
School journal, the organ, one might
say, of the educational interests Of the
state, and therefore its statement on
matters appertaining to educational
interests should have more than usual
weight, A good many outsiders will
agree with the journal that our
course of study is too crowted and that
volume has taken the place Of thorough.
ness In learning.
