Wisdom Of the Veto.

The wisdom Of Gov. Davis veto Of
the Sunnyside concurrent resolution Is
plainly shown by the proposition pub
licly made by Thos. q. Hardie, of New
Orleans, La. for the sale of the Red
Leaf plantation of Chicot county to the
state rs n suitable place for u state con
Wet farm. Had his excellency not w.
toed the Sunnyside proposition It Is
probable the Red Leaf plantation would
never have been heard Of. This place
contains 7, 900 acres. 2, 900 Of which are
IN high state OF cultivation, 1900 in
second-growth timber and 3, 600 in fine
timber In addition TO the land there
are 70 fine mules, one Eagle gin and
sawmill with all modern improvements,
u -, 500 residence, ~, 900 store-house.
81 800 worth OF farming implements,
and u stock Of goods invoiced ut 81 500.
The land In cultivation Ia valued ut $40
per acre; the secOnd-growth timber
land ut $25 per acre, and the balance Of
the timber land at g, 900 acres)
VIZ 90 per acre, making the entire cost
something like $2S per acre, including
stock, implements, goods, houses, etc.
The property IL said to be excellently
located on the high southern bank Of
Lake Chicot, and within half mile of
the Mississippi river, and within easy
reach Of the NJ. II. II. q W. railroad.

FIshback and Clark.

From the Batesville Guard.
The most exciting episode attending
the session of the Legislature at Little
Rock occurred when ex-Gov. Fishback
confronted ex Gov. Clarke before the
Sengel investigating committee and
expressed the belief that certain state
bonds the latter sought to induce the
legislature to pay are fraudulent. This
is quite a remarkable case. A bank at
Hudson, N. Y, appears as claimant
for bonds of the state, aggregating
some $65, 900 in principal and inter-
est, which it appears were out of its
p session and lost for years. The Union
Trust company of New York, depos-
itory for the state of Arkansas, held
these bonds during all this time on
deposit; and there being no claimant
for them they were finally returned to
the state and burned during Gov.
Clarke s administration.
Ex-Gov. Fishback is recognized as
first rate authority on the subject of
Arkansas bonds, and was summoned by
the investigating committee, He
thought 1t remarkable fact that u
oNuh Wiuu COulpoIdIiNciy oLudll ChplIdI,
like that at Hudson, N. Y, would put
away so large an amount Of securities
and forget about them and leave them
unclaimed in another bank for years.
Gov. Fishback expressed the belief
that these bonds were in all probability
part of the stealings of one Denckla,
one Of the most accomplished rascals and
successful thieves of the carpetbag era,
who was quite active in this business
about the time these bonds disappeared.
Judicial means to compel the payment
of these bonds have failed, and this
investigation has brought such suspic.
ion upon them that the legislature
ought to be very careful about their
payment.
OF course the Clarke temper was con-
spicuously in evidence during the In
vestigation. Newspaper report says
the performance was quite equal to
circus, and that Clark became so exas-
perated at times at Gov. Fishback 8
statements that he could scarcely con-
fine himself to the mere use of words
But the latter continued. as heretofore,
quite unbulldozed.

FEARS COMING OF AN EMPIRE,
President Hadley Of Yale Makes q
Prediction.

Special to the Post-Dispatch.
BosToN. March IL. President Arthur
T. Hadley of Yale University is quoted
AZ saying:
1--WE shall have an emperor in Wash.
ington within twenty-five years unless
we can create a public sentiment which
regardless Of legislation will regulats
the trusts.
President Hadley uttered this at the
Old South Church last night, the report
explains, before u congregation largely
made mp OF the richest church society
in New England. He was delivering
the third in course Of Lenten address
es by college presidents and his specific
subject was 1.-The Development of a
Public Conscience.
In the course of his address he said ::
How do things stand as regards the
need Of public conscience in this
country today? The American stand.
ard of personal morality Is on the whole
high, rs compared with other nations
and other ages. We have developed
personal virtues through individual
conscience very well. But our actions
in politics and in social and business
sense prove our moral standards In
those directions desperately low.
There is an appalling contrast be-
tween our methods of dealing with one
another as individuals and the low
standard observed In dealings between
different parts of the whole organization
Of society
Competition used to prevent man
from practicing great extOrtion upon
his neighbors, even II he wanted to, and
In politics we once had at least a rough
form Of relative justice. But today,
with our industries organized into
trusts, and the imperialistic spirit de-
veloped in politics, the general develop
ment of the principle Of trusts will be-
come appalling unless we cultivate a
higher standard Of morality than ever
before.
Legislation will never protect us
from the trust of deteriorate politics
The essence of trust is that you must
trust the head Of 1t to exercise his
power wisely or abuse 1t, according to
the kind of conscience he possesses
TRUSTS have got to be regulated by
public sentiment, and that public senti.
ment is not merely the opinion of any
particular part of the whole people,

behalf Of the community, restrictions,

You or I shall be personally harmed by
those restrictions.
