Quite Unfair TO Jones.
Fort Smith Times.

For, Smith Times.
The insinuations of the Memphis
Commercial Appeal to the effect
that Senator James K. Jones Of Arkan-
sas sold his vote In favor of the Spooner
amendment to the Panama canal bill at
the price of a commissionership, TO be
one of seven to have charge OF the work
of construction Of the canal, is not
founded In fairness, justice or charity,
Senator Jones gave very good and suth-
cient reasons for voting in favor OF the
Panama route. He gave those reasons
TO his Democratic colleagues and they
were entirely satisfied with them and
said If they were not bound by promises
to Senator Morgan and other friends OF
the Nicaragua route they would take
the course adopted by Senator Jones.
The latter said that ut the time the
Democratic platform declarations In IA.
vor of Nicaragua were made a Panama

ImpOrtant Mail Item.

Under the new mail service common.
cling July l 1902, the carriers on the
several mail routes in Arkansas will be
required to carry the mail and deposit 1t
in boxes erected along their routes
free of charge. Erect suitable box on
the route and file an order with your
postmaster, asking him to deliver your
mail, and the carrier will deposit 1t in
your box on his regular trip. There
will be no danger of theft, as the boxes
will be under the protection OF the gov
eminent.
The department does not prescribe
any particular design Of box or sstchel
to be used for this service, but the per-
son providing either should see that It
il OF such character as to afford ample
protection to his mail. II there is a
lock attached to the box, q key is not to
be held by the carrier, as he is expected
TO deposit the mail without the necessity
of unlocking the box. The box or crane
should be so located on the roadside
that the carrier can deposit the mail
without leaving his vehicle or horse,
and yet not where it will obstruct pub
lie travel.
The carrier is not required to collect
mail from the boxes, but there Is no OBJ
lection to his doing so il 1t does not in
terfere with his making the schedule
time. The law provides that every
carrier OF the mail shall receive any
mail matter presented to him il properly
prepaid by stamps, and deliver the same
for mailing at the next postoffice at
which he arrives, but that no fees shall
be allowed him therefor.

cheapest and most feasible, provided a
good title could be given. The Spooner
Amendment, voted for by Senator Jones.
contains that condition and leaves II
with the president to be assured OF that
otherwise the Nicaragua route is TO be
chosen.
There is no ground for the insinuation
that Senator Jones was influenced by
promise OF reward in the form Of an APP
pointment Ms canal commissioner. II
would follow as a matter of course that
the president would appoint one or more
Democrats on the commission and there
are numberless precedents for the ap,
pointment Of statesmen out OF a JOB
10 government commissions. One might
lust as we'll say that ex-senator Carter
was paid for talking the river and har'
Dor bill TO death in the last congress by
his appointment as st. Louis world
fair commissioner
This over-readiness to impugn the
motives of public men whose records
give no ground for belief that they are
or have been swayed by mercenary In
fiuences is a sign of little and suspi'
cious mind.

Sacrificed to Spanish "HOnOr."

From the Post. Dispatch.
In his testimony as to what took place
at the taking of Manila, Admiral Dewey
said:
There was no need Of the loss of
man In the capture of the city. 1t
was to be done at a signal and no gun
need have been fired by us but for the
desire of the governor.general, who
said his honor demanded that few
shots be fired, so that | had TO ire and
kill q few people. -
So, In order to save one man S
"honor, number Of human beings
we're wiped out of existence. The Span.
ish governor general whose honor
was thus preserved was, OF course, In
no personal danger. We may be sure
that he was either well out of range OF
the guns or behind one Of the strongest
bastions. He WAS Spanish gentleman
and the persons killed were nothing but
common soldiers or commoner people,
Weighed In the balance with Spanish
don idea OF honor, they did not count.

COL. JAS. MITCHELL DEAD.
Life Work Of the Veteran Editor,
Scholar and Teacher Is Ended.

LITTLE Rock. Ark, June g.-Col.
James Mitchell, the veteran editor OF
tbe Arkansas Democrat, died at
private sanitarium in this city at 4:45
P. NJ. yesterday, after an illness OF two
months. An operation was performed
on Wednesday morning and he was not
strong enough to Withstand the strain
upon an already weakened constitution;
For several days 1t had been realized
that his death was a matter OF only
few days at most.
In the death of Col. Mitchell there
passes from public life In Arkansas one
of the most notable examples OF pro-
gressive, aggressive, fearless and estim'
able citizenship the state ever produced.
His death is distinct loss to the state
and to journalism,
He was born May 8, 1888, at Cane
Hill, Washington county, Arkansas,
his father having located in the state IN
1928.
His boyhood and youth were spent on
farm in Washington county. de was
educated in the common schools OF the
community and at Cane Hill college,
the oldest chartered institution OF learn.
ing in the state. At the age of 10 years
he taught his first school and continued
teaching and attending school alter.
nately until the age Of 25 He served
in the Arkansas legislature in 1850 and
! 1861.
At the breaking out of the civil war
he enlisted in the Confederate army IN
May, 1861, and served with distinction
until he was mustered out In June, 1853
After the war he engaged in farming
and teaching, first at Bonham, Texas,
returning to Arkansas In 1855.
! In 1874 he was elected to the chair of
English literature in the Arkansas In
dustrial university at Fayetteville,
which he held for two years.
In 1875 he was rendered the position
of editor-in-chief of the Arkansas Ca
zette'' and resigned his position in the
university to accept that place. He
then removed to Little Rock and had
resided here continuously since that
time.
In 1878 he resigned from the ga.
zette' and with Gen. w. D. Blocher
purchased the Arkansas Democrat.
| A year later MS partner uleu anu wi
Mitchell associated himself with j. X.
Belts, now of St. Louis who was his
business manager and partner for II
years. The Arkansas Democrat com
pany was organized in 1900 with Col.
Mitchell as president and editor-in
chief, and that management has contin
ued up to this time. He has been at the
head Of the Democrat 90 years, the
paper having continued under one man
agement longer than any other news
paper ever established In Little Rock.
He was appointed postmaster by
President Cleveland In 1893, In recog
milton Of his services to the party, ant
served for four years.
Upon retiring from the postoffice hi
resumed his editorial work had contin
