Gov. Davis Contributes $50 TO Worlds
Fair Fund.
From the Little Rock Democrat
In annulling the contract of Architect
F.J.W. Hart, the World Fair commits
sion retained him rs architect. The re-
solution recites that the old board con-
tracted with the said Hart for the plans
and specifications of building to cost
800, 900, he, said Hart, to have archi-
tect commission on said price of 800,
900, when, In fact, said board only had
at their command and disposal $50, 900
appropriation made by law for the erec..
ton Of said building, and being advised
and believing that said contract was in
excess of the authority of said board
and is illegal and void, therefore said
contract Is hereby annnlled, set aside
and held for naught with the present
board, however, retaining Mr.. Hart az
architect, his compensation to be fixed
for future services on a basis of regulat-
ing the fee of architect Of the building
which we finally construct. and who is
hereby ordered and directed to turn
back into the treasury OF the state 80
much Of the money heretofore paid him
by the former board which is In excess
Of "a per cent. of $50, 900. -

Arkansas Fruit Growing.

The Country Gentlemen. pub.
lished at Albany. n. Y. In its issue OF
May 18th says:
The situation in Arkansas is hardly
less interesting than in Maryland we
have not been used to think of Arkansas
as great fruit state, but she has now
more peach trees than the great pesch
state of Maryland, and more than four
times as many apple trees as the great
apple state Of Massachusetts. Every
line of fruit-growing has shown great
increase in the last ten years, the prin-
cipal crops having grown in area as fol-
lows: Apples, psi per cent. peaches
4s per cent. pears, 6l6 per cent !
plums, ls5 per cent These last two
figures show the prevalence OF the
Kieffer pear and the japanese plums
again. We can see, however, very
plainly that we have hereafter to reckon
with the great southwest states in the
fruit market.

GOV. DAVIS CONTRIBUTION.

Gov. JEFF Davis has addressed the
following communication to Manager
I. W. Milan;
Noticing that subscriptions are be-

talon Of the resources OF Arkansas at

legislative appropriation, beg herein

that you may succeed IN arousing the
enthusiasm necessary to make this the
most successful exhibit and realizing

THE war In South Africa has come to
an end. Peace negotiation have been
concluded and the Beers have secured
concessions more liberal than was the
general expectation. Theirs was no
Bile and heroic struggle. They have
taught the world what a determined
people, though few in numbers, can DO
In a cause that has justice and right on
their side. The English people we be-
lieve, as a whole did not take favorably
to the war, whose object was to crush
and rob of their country an honest, IN
dustrious, frugal people to satisfy the
ambitions of adventures and statesmen
The cost to England in lives and money
has been such that her statesmen in the
future will think twice before entering
a war whose object, as in this case, is
spoils, and nothing else

WE constantly see statements by ex-
pert writers of the economic advantages
of consolidation. There can be no
doubt Of the advantage In savings In
cost of production and distribution, but
the power concentrated by such combi-
nations in the hands of the few must be
curtailed, for of what advantage is the
saving in cost of production to the
masses, when, as in the case OF the
meat combine. they can raise the price
above what normal conditions of supply
and demand justifyf This power must
be curtaiied or before long we will see,
with plentiful harvests and overfowing
granaries, the people suffering for the
necessities Of life, because placed be-
yond their power of purchase by the
combines.

Purposes Of Comparison.


Purposes Of Comparison.
Des MONIES. Oct. Sic. f. Wenner-
strum, former state labor commits
sioner, while In the Scandinavian coun-
tries. made an Investigation Of the
prisons and prison systems, and on re-
quest of members Of the state board
of control will prepare paper for
publication In the bulletin OF the board
on his observations. Mr.. Wennerstrum
says that the prisons of Sweden AMI
Norway are in excellent condition, and
better than those OF Denmark. There
are two great prisons for Sweden, one
OF them for punishment and the other
for repentance, prison proper and q
reformatory. The feature Of the prison
work he most condemns is that OF
making use OF almost solitary confine-
ment.
The Swedish prisons are far in ad-
vance Of their laws They may legally
fog prisoners in the yard, but this has
been done only once In two years. The
warden of the prison in Sweden is
conducting 1t along the most approved
reform plans, and this is far different
from what is contemplated in the laws.
He has public sentiment with him and
practically defies the law.
The prison officials in all the coun-
tries named were deeply interested in
the work being done in Iowa. and re-.
quested that complete reports OF the
state board be sent to them. At most
or these public institutions in the sean
dinavian countries men are found who
can talk and read English.
