For Philippine Judgeship.

Citizens of Alexandria and Fairfax coun-
ties are interested in the question of
successor for Judge J. M. Love on the local
bench, should he be appointed to a iudgeship
in the Philippine Islands. Judge Love is
an applicant for such appointment and it is
said that he will probably be successful.
According to the judiciary plan of the new
state constitution he would be out of office
in 1904, and although the term would be a
short one, the position Is of such promi-
nence as to be desirable, especially to the
younger members of the bar Attorney W.
w. Douglas of Alexandria county is under
stood to be applicant. There will doubt
less be others in the field If Judge Love ac-

petition will be presented to the city
council at its meeting tomorrow evening
from the members of the police force ask
ing for an increase of s. per month in the
salaries of the officers and privates. 1t will

said the Alexandria police force is among

and are required to furnish their own uni
forms, pistols and other equipments. The
sum Of $50 per month is received by the
captain and $50 per month by the lieutenant,

in the fullest and most circum- stantial manner all the facts, nothing being concealed, and no man being for any reason favor ed or shielded" is a part of the cable sent by the secretary of war to Gen Chaffee
 It is mortifving to the humane people ofthis country that Amer ican officers should be guilty of such brutalities and barbarism, but that such should be conceal ed for SO long time and the culprits shielded from punish ment is "horrifying, to say the least"
 It is told that some of these crimes have been committed so long ago that there is barely time to bring the culprits to trial before the time limit of two years for prosecution.
 The report of Governor Gard ner, so lately come to light, will undoubtedly lead to a close in- vcstisation of the military es- tablishment in that part of the archipelago.
 It Is said with some degree of authority that this Gardner re- port. so long withheld from the public, was the occasion of the celebrated proposition of Gener- al Miles to go to Manila and adopt measures to pacify the people of the islands. and which was rejected with a snub by both the secretary Of war and the president.
 It is not at all surprising, in the light of these facts, that the Filipinos have no confidence in the Americans. Such brutal conduct will certainly foster dis content and rebellion as long as permitted
 When officers are guilty, or any others, they should be court martialed, cashiered and given adequate punishment other wise. It is q disgrace to the army and our civilization that cannot be condoned Gazette.

To even the most casual ob- server it is perpectly plain to be seen that the country is not keeping pace with the cities and towns in the way of improve ments. Most of the towns in South Eastern Arkansas are growing rapidly. new houses, shops and factories are being built, and people are tiocking in to them by the hundreds, while the country adjacent IS at a standstill or even going down hill Farm labor is scarce, farms are laying out, fences falling down and briers taking the fields. Such a condition bodes no good for the general welfare of the people.
