 X perfect town Is that in which you see farmers patronize the home merchants, the laborers spending the money they earn with their tradesmen and all ani- mated by a spirit that will not pur- chase articles abroad that can be bought at home. The spirit of re- ciprocity between business men, merchants, tradesmen and farmers results every time in making perfect town to do business in.

pie pieces of good road for the edifcation of backward communi- ties, and the good roads train" sent into the south last year was a valuable start of the educational propaganda. Mir. Brownlow now proposes to extend the idea and clothe the department with some real authority in the premises. The government is not only to in- struct, but foot half of the bills. The bill, having provided for a bureau of public roads, provides for director of the same, assisted by corps of engineers and other officials, whose duty 1t will be to cooperate, assist and instruct in the building of public roads in the various states, the local authorities first applying for such aid. Where such application is duly made, and approved by the director of the bureau, that official Is to have the proposed road mapped and survey ed, when the United States is to award 8 contract for the work and pay one half the cost, the state, county or individuals to pay the other half. For purposes of con struetion the bill carries with 1t an appropriation of S20, ,000, ,00O. of which no state shall receive i'll aid of construction a greater propor- tion than its population bears to the total population of the United States. The public interest seems to be properly safe-guarded and every provision of the measure carefully thought out. \ difficult ty likely to be encountered is fore stalled by a provision to the effect that where a state or county is un- willing to surrender control over the work on it's roads, discretion ary powers are given to the direc- tor to make a contract directly with the state or county officials.
 The Brownlow bill has much to commend it, and it stands for sound, worthy principle of gov ernment, designed to benefit not class, but the whole people.

credit upon Haymarket anarch- ist had it proven successful. An internal machine was discovered under the office of Dr. Clawers, a negro physician, containing suffi- cient dynamite to have blown up an entire block. The explosive was packed in q cigar box, well wrapped and deftly tied, and a fuse attached which protruded sey- eral feet from a small, round ap- perture made in the bottom of the box. The fuse had evidently been lighted and went out before the fire reached the dynamite. The damp earth had apparently come in contact with the fuse, thus pre- venting murder and destruction.

issued lengthy statement reply ing to the strictures cast upon the penitentiary board by Gov. Davis in his message to the legislature. The attorney general explains in detail all the transactions referred to by Gov. Davis, especially the purchase of the state convict farm. The opening and concluding chap ters of Mir. Murphy's statement follow:
 To the People of Arkansas, Their Senators and Representa- tives-The senate concurrent res- olution extending to the maligned members of the penitentiary board the opportunity of refuting, in the invited presence of the governor, the slanderous charges he calls his message, in the same hall and un- der the same conditions they were made, having failed in the house, it becomes necessary to adopt oth- CT means for the exposure of his falsehoods.
 No complaint is here made at the action of the house, but 1t is difficult to conceive the improprie- ty of meeting a libel in the same hall and in the same body where 1t was published, even though 1t be improperly called governors message. What sanetity or irn- munity this name should carry with 1t for the protection of false and unwarranted statements and insinuations is impossible of def- milton. If the archives of the world were transacted no such doc- ument preserved as a state paper would be found. In it the govern or, wanting in manliness and cour- age to confront those he wishes to wrong, takes the advantage of sending a message to the general assembly to vent his spleen in cow ardly insinuations and baseless charges. Having done this he seeks by every means in his pow CT to thwart the efforts of those he has wronged to get the truth to the people.
 Notwithstanding the failure of the senate resolution, his false hoods shall not escape exposure. l am not done either with him or his so-called message. No one shall remain wholly ignorant of his untruthful, slanderous, mali gnant and pusilanimous nature, except from choice. Out of his own mouth his guilt shall be made manifest, and when this is done my fixed purpose is to brand him with a new name and turn him loose

He signed this contract during his candidacy for governor, and it is a significant fact that in this aspira- ton he was ardently supported by It's members. But he was scarcely elected when he began to deny that he signed 1t at all. He per slstently denied 1t during the ses- sion of the general assembly of 1901. After this he modified his denlal, saying that if he signed 1t he was either crazy or had his hands behind him.
