The Blair Case.

The supreme court overruled a motion for a rehearing in the case of the State vs. John Blair, convicted in the Newton circuit court for the killing of Chas. Miller and sentenced to thirteen years in the penltentiary. The case had been before the su- preme court on appeal, when the ver- diet of the lower court was affirmed. The motion for a rehearing was made on the plea that the indict- ment was void because the special term at which he was indicted was called before he was confined in jail awaiting trial, that is before the ex- amining trial was concluded. The court in overruling this motion did not controvert this as a proposition of law but held that the evidence on the question not being set out in the bill of exceptions it would be pre- stunned that he was in jail awaiting trial when the term was called.

Thousands of Dollars Damage.

Heavy sleet and snow, followed by d freezing rain, January 2S caused thousands of dollars damage throughout the state. At Little Rock the heaviest losers were mer- chants, whose stocks were in many instances almost ruined by water, which seeped through the roofs, covered with several inches of snow Several roofs gave way under the enormous weight, and all day and night of the 29th laborers were in great demand at wages ranging from $1 to $5 per hour, to shovel the sleet from buildings. Following the heavy sleet was a slow rain, which only added to the trouble. Schools were suspended, street car traffic stopped and all communication by wire greatly crippled. Professional men, clerks, merchants and all class es left their places to assist in say ing property by shoveling the snow from buildings. The loss at Little Rock will not be less than half a million, one firm alone placing the damage at $1oo,ooo. As this loss is of a character not protected by insurance, it falls heavy on the vic tims.

State Militia Funds.

The war department has informed Maj. Gen. W. H. Haynes, A. $. G., that little more than $40,000 in military supplies is due the state of Arkansas. Gen. Haynes while in Washington secured the services of an expert and went over the books of the department, and discovered that the state was due over $44 ,000, which is amply sufficient to equip the en- tire state guard. Gen. Haynes, in company with Gov. Davis and Brig. Gen. B. W. Green, personally inspect ed the supplies that will be furnished the Arkansas citizen soldiery, such as ammunition, uniforms, band equipment, arms, etc, and nothing but the very best material was se- lected. It will be shipped to Gov. Davis within the next thirty days and distributed by him to the various militia companies over the state. The band at Siloam Springs, Benton county, and the Little Rock band have been designated by Gen. Haynes as the regimental bands. Each mem Der will be furnished with a fatigue and a dress uniform and new instru- ments.

There appears to be a general senti-
ment throughout the country in favor
of the bill pressed by
JUSTICE Representative Smith
FOR LETTER of Michigan for in
CARRIERS. creasing the pay of
letter carriers. If the
wishes of the people controlled there
fore. there would be no doubt of the
passage of the bill. But it is never
possible to predict what congress will
do with a measure calling for in
creased salaries-so many OF the mem
bers are always ready to make
grand stand play for economy if they
think personal capital can be made
thereby.
The letter carrier serves some years
as a substitute before he becomes d
full-fiedged letter carrier entitled to a
salary of $500 year. There are 313
working days in the year. and conse-
quently he is at his post every
day in the year. He can only
perform his work when he is
at his best. He works four years
for $500 a year, and at the expira ton
of that time his salary is raised to
$1,000 a year. Assuming that at the
age of % he becomes regular carrier,
at % he would be entitled to $1,000 a
year. This would be fair salary If
the occupation We're one that could
be followed by the average man Into
the COS and 7O's. But there are no
vice which the letter carrier can look
forward to in the declining years Of
life. The work is eXhausting. and at
so or whereabouts his daily load of let
ters and papers becomes too heavy 10
carry.
An occupation which uses a man ~
in twenty years should command
higher salary than one which may be
followed twice that period of time. The
only argument that has been urged
against Mr. Smiths bill is that there
is no lack of applicants for the posi-
ton at the present rate OF comDensa-
ton. This argument can be easly dis
posed of. There is no place in tire
working world so poorly paid that
some person under stress of ciroun--
stances would not apply for it. The
right kind of man will work for his
board until he can find something be-
ter to do. A letter carrier wears a uni
form of the government and is eX-
Dected to live. especially if he has a
family. in a respectable neighborhood
The government sets a bad example
which does not pay its employees
enough to justify marriage.
