Printers Mistakes.

Prlnters are responsible for many
charming mistakes, and some of then
admit the fact. Witness the volume
OF sermons recently published which
contained the startling admission:
Printers have prosecuted me without
cause" OF course, it should haze
been princes; but no doubt the
compositor was satisfied. Parsons are
the especial butts for the jokes OF
the merry typesetter. A Methodist
minister is reported to have said:
Methodism is elastic, expensive ard

have been several applications for tele-
phone company franchises to the city
they have not been considered seriously
as the companies failed to go through
the necessary formality of Incorporating.
Now the Utah Home Telephone company
has duly filed articles for $500, 900 COR

average decrease of Z per cent or

average decrease of 7 per cent on 126 items out of the 7o6 named in the Dingley tariff bill.
 President Mckinley thought that the acceptance of this treaty would increase exports from this country to France to the amount of twenty five or thirty million dollars. Yet the Senate has refused to consider the matter and will probably con tinue to do SO. though France has granted an extension of tins.
 Westerners are especially inter- ested in the reciprocity treaty with Mexico and other South American countries. Meetings have been held protesting against further de- lay in considering the proposed changes in the tariffs, but to no avail. The entire subject is one that the people at large will not dismiss until concessions to Ameri- can agriculture and industries are made No hide bound policy can long continue as the foundation of American commerce.-Republie.

TO EXCLUDE ERROR.

In order that the children of thatstate may not be taught CT TOT in the common schools the Mississippi legislature now has before it a bill, which If adopted, will prohibit the use in the pub lie schools of historical text books that do not give to Ad- miral Schley full credit for his part in the naval battle of San tiago.
 It appears to the Graphic that the Mississippi legislature will not be far wrong in the adop- ton of q measure of that kind, for it is true that partisan his torians have already instilled much error into the minds of the people Of this country through the public schools as a medium. Of course it is almost impossible to get school history of the United States wholly free from bias. but there IS so little doubt as to the true facts of the battle of Santiago that there can be no excuse for Maclayism in the school histories, and the legisla- ture of Mississippi is to be con- mended for taking steps looking toward the prevention of any false versions being taught the children of that state by the use of histories which give accounts according to the biased ideas of the naval clique.-Pine Bluff Graphic.

the other charitable institutions of the state t will cost less to main- tain.
 5. Because a new institution will require new set of officers which will necessarily double the expense while an addition can be maintained for an additional cost for attendants only.
 4. Because its location at the seat of government will enable citizens and visitors from all over the state to inspect and visit the same in connection with the other charitable institutions with more convenience and less cost to them selves as well as cheaper to the tax payers of the state. y
 The above preamble and reso- lutions passed by the Sheriffs' Association should commend them to the favorable consider ation of the people. The resolu- tions are both timely and sensi- ble Like the sheriffs, we believe that arrangements should be made for the care of the insane of our state, and made at the very earliest day possible And We are also satisfied that an an nex to the Insane Asylum would be better and more economical. Had the last Legislature made the necessary appropriation for an addition to the present Asylum. instead of wasting time over a struggle for a branch at other points 1t would have been much better for the state and it's unfortunate insane people

THE TIDE IS TURNING.

The following from the Conway Log Cabin-Democrat, published in Faulkner county, up near Gov. Davis home county, shows the drift of things up in that sec ton of the state:
 Jeff Davis did not say a word about those Hudson Bank bonds, the payment of which he must en- dorse when he endorses Ex- Gov Clarke for the senate. The people have repudiated those fraudulent aolford and other fraudulent bonds which were issued when the carpet bag Republicans were steal ing thousands of dollars and plum dering the people of Arkansas and they do not now propose to give sanction to his proceedings. He said nothing further of Clarke's DO. sition on the tariff, which position is the same as that of McLauren, of South Carolina and just about like that of the Republican party.
 Although he Is the vice presi- dent of the State Baptist Conven- ton. JeH Davis admitted here that when he went out to the Dickin- son brick yard where the convicts were at work, he said, "Boys, if they don treat you better l will pardon every damned one of you.
 The egotistical bosh that Jeff got off here was enough to sicken his Santanic Majesty. the "old boy himself. His cause was materially weakened by his iast visit. Many men who was formerly his warm supporters are now outspokeu. not only against Gov Clarke, but against Davis and they will vote for anybody, on March 2oth, who may oppose Davis. The people will nor have such political die tator They are not used to such bossism and they declare they will not submit to 1t. Many of the friends of Clarke say that Davis is iniurlng his prospects for the U. $. Senate. In this county the coun- try is nearly solid for Jones, and one of the reasons Is the unfair and unwarranted meddRng on the part of Jeff Davis.
 Our people once believed in the sincerity of Jeff Davis. but that Is now ancient history. They re member how he has de6ed the law in his criticisms of the supreme court. how he transeended the bounds of d.cency an propriety when on every stump in Arkansas he referred to the supreme judges as the five jackasses. He has threatened to place members of the state senate in the peniteptiary

A DISASTROUS POLICY.

"No compromise" seem to be the Republican tariff slogan in Congress. Extreme protection ists are confessedly in control of the majority in Washington. Any thing that sounds like tariff re- ductlon is promptly gagged by the men who dictate the policy of Congress. Reciprocity is doomed as far as this session is concerned.
 And what does this refusal to enact reciprocity treaties mean to American commerce? Russia has shown what a foreign country can do by cutting off a demand for six or eight million dollars worth of exports from this country.
 Germany is maturing q scheme wherby American manufacturers will lose a market that has been entered despite the protests of Germans. In some instances the the advance in the tariff rate is ex- cessive. Bicycles will have to pay six times more duty than hereto fore, the tariff on shoes has been raised So per cent, and on wagons, pumps, moving machines, etc, the increase is about one hundred per cent. Though this schedule is not final, the German Minister of Finance has named the rates as the basis on which new commercial treaties will be drawn.
 Not much for the United States in that The Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate now has a treaty with France lying on the table because the Republicans will not take action thereon. President Mckinley was an ardent advocate of the schedules proposed in the convention. He spoke of 1t as magnificent bargain for this coun- try because of the fact that France made an average reduction of 4S per cent on 655 items of the 654 items mentioned in their schedule, while the United States made an

Home, Sweet Home is the dearest spot on earth to man and woman, and 'tis more appreciated by those denied home. Those of Us who are sound in mind and body can look out for ourselves; those Of us who are afflicted in body if not able to look out for ourselves have relatives or friends, or can be taken care of by the county in which we live. Those of us who are so unfortunate as to be sick in mind not only cannot look for ourselves but neither relatives nor friends can properly take care of us because we know not what we do. The insane are with us; and the state should provide a place where they can be treat ed and confined without do- ing violence to themselves or to others. Our jails are filled with the unfortunate insane. Our jails are not constructed to proper ly treat or confne this class of un- fortunates The shcriffs do the best possible, but that is poor in deed. There can be no sight so sad as man or woman dethroned of reason, often times naked, swearing and tearing, breaking up everything in reach, confined Tn little eellin one of our county jails. If the state owes q duty more sa- cred than another to it's citizens 1t is to provide place for it's insane where they can have medical treat ment and can be clothed, confined and properly handled.
 In view of the fact that the last legislature would have provided for.the erection of a branch asylum or an addition to the present one but for the claim of different local ities, 1t is deemed wise that this question should be discussed in the coming campaign, so that senators and representatives will go to Lit tie Rock prepared to vote for an appropriation and location of an asylum. The sheriffs of the state, having to deal with the insane, are better prepared to give an opinion on this subjdct than any other individuals or class of people or officials At their December meeting the following resolutions were adopted, to which your care ful reading Is asked
 That. whereas. There are now confined in the county jaiIs of the state some 100 or 500 insane per sons which cannot be admitted to the Insane Asylum for want of suf- fcient room and accommodations, and,
 Whereas, Such a condition is q great source of annoyance to the people of each county and great wrong inflicted on that class of the unfortunates of the state because proper accommodation and neces- sary medical treatment and atten- ton cannot be given, therefore be it
 Resolved, by the Sheriffs' Asso- citation, That the Generally As sembly of 1903 be respectfully re- quested to make an appropriation to enlarge our present Insane Asylum sufficient to accomodate those needing treatment, and we give as our reasons for asking an enlargement of our present institu- ton rather than building another at some other place in the state;
 I. Because 1t will cost less money to make an addition to what we have than it will to build a new institution at some other point.
