The Proposed Amendment.

Tie fact that an important
amendment to the constitution of
the state is pending for the ap-
proval or rejection of the voters
at the next general election seems
to have escaped notice to some
extent. The amendment pro-
posed authorizes the enactment
Of a law placing the members of
the legislature upon a salary.
AS the law now stands the
members receive a certain amount
per day, consequently, the longer
the sessions the more expensive
they are to the State. If placed
upon a salary the incentive to
the sessions, which it is
urged sometimes actuates mem
bers, would be removed. The
would be paid just SO
much for his entire term, and the
sessions might then be shortened
or heightened, as the exigencies
of the public business might de-
mand.
The Elevator believes the
amendment should be adopted.

The Memphis Commercial APP
peal declares Mr., Bryan is trying
to bring about democratic defeat.
Most everybody will accord Mr..
Bryan honesty and sincerity of
purpose, but it is an undeniable
fact that his public utterances
and actions are doing nothing to
bring about harmony in the dem
Ccratic ranks. Come to think Of
it, however, when did the Com
mercial- Appeal do anything to
bring about democratic success?

The Republican Stake.

The unusually active campaign
being made by both the regular
and insurgent wings Of the re-
publican party Of Arkansas does
not signify that either has and
hope Of electing its candidate for
Governor. If that party could
have harmonized its warning ele-
ments and nominated a strong
and personally unobjectionabIe
candidate, it would still have had
little chance Of success, but it
would have made a better and
more creditable showing at the
polls than it has ever been able to
do heretofore. But it was utter
ly unable to take advantage OF
the situation, and is engaged now
in factional struggle having no
other object than to make sure OF
the recognition and favor of the
authorities at Washington, and
the official patronage that follows
If Myers should carry the vote OF
the party largely, the present re-
publican machine will continue to
absorb the federal positions and
fix the delegations to the national
conventions. If Greaves should
receive the larger vote, he and his
followers will succeed to the hon
ors and comforts of leadership.
This is the stake the republicans
are fighting for.-Batesville
Guard.

The strenuous administration
should enjoin the Memphis News
from looking up statistics and
making such comment as the
following: "We are shipping

ton is a failure, and that trade

Gov. Davis is advocating a
measure placing the management
of the state penitentiary in the
hands OF the governor. 1t is now
controlled by board Of five, and
1t is not likely that the propo-
sition to place so much power in
a single individual will meet with
any great degree Of public favor.
The public demand should be for
a reduction OF the powers of all
public servants, rather than add
ing more authority to their Of
fees.

Greaves and his gang would
love Powell Clayton just as ten
derly as the regular leaders do if
they held the offices by Clayton's
gift, as the regulars do. And if
Greayes and his gang held the
offices, Myers ct al would be dis
gruntled. The republican fight
is simply a set to for spoils, and
is worrying nobody except the
leaders Of both factions, who ex-
pect to hold the offices in case
their faction polls the larger
number of votes. The rank and
file OF the republican party, SO
far as we have been able to OBJ
serve at least, is not interested in
this contest between Myers and
Greaves, and why should it be?
1t matters little to the rank and
file, we should think, who get the
fat jobs.

Didn't Want the Earth.

A farmer man, who was badly
sunburned, but who was not 50
raw as he looked, visited the city
and was picked out as an easy
mark by a confidence man, who
introduced himself as an old
friend. Then the confidence man
invited the farmer to accompany
hirG to a swell cafe, where they
ordered dinner on the European
plaa and the bill that the conf
dezce man had to foot on account
Of the man from the country was
two dollars and four bits. After
that tine confidence man stood for
the cigars and was surprised to
see the man from the farm pick
out 8 % cent straight Havana.
ter that the confidence man
introduced the farmer to some OF
MS friends, one of whom was
shovfng how he could manipu-
late three shells and a ball so
that The spectator could not tell
which shell the ball was unler.
Then the man with the shells
bantered the farmer to try his
luck and said that he would be
willing to bet something that he
couldn't tell which shell the ball
was under. The farmer did not
seem anxious about it, but finally
said lie expected he would miss it
but he might risk little just to
pass away the time.
Then a bet Of $40 was made
and when the shell was lifted the
ball was found just where the
farmer had said it was, for the
confidence gang believed that
they had him hooked they would
get him later on for at least q
hundreu. But the farmer simply
rolled up the ten, stuck it in his
pocket and started tQ walk out
Hold on whispered the conf
dence man, who had met the far
mer first, this thing is easy, you
can win every time; bet him two

he started for the door, My new

WRECK At ELToPIA.
Helping Engine is Struck by a Freight
Train.

Eltopia, Wash, Dec. 4.-One of the
most unique wrecks in the history Of
this division occurred between Eltopia
and Lake station, resulting in three
damaged locomotives and a smashed
car or two. While an eastbound help
er was standing at Ethiopia, with the
engineer in the depot, an eastbound
freight approached Unexpectedly and
the engineer yelled to the fireman to
run the engine out of the way. The
fireman pulled the throttle wide open
and the wheels slid round and round
without moving the engine, the at
tempted start having been too sudden
The freight could not stop. and jolted
the helper severely. The fireman
jumped and the helper engine, given a
start by the collision, went toward
Lake with the throttle wide open and
nobody on board. A westbound freight
was Just starting out Of Lake and the
two met on the way. The engineer
and fireman of the westbound jumped
and saved their lives. The two en-
gines now rest in the Pasco yards
badly damaged. jg4.e
